Raising her head, she saw Qin Feng's strange gaze. Ye Li smiled and said, "Don't be so shocked, it's just a little disguise."
Qin Feng shook his head and said, "Wang Fei's disguise isn't something that just anyone knows." The so-called disguise wasn't just changing one's appearance. True tracking experts might not look at the face or the clothing on a person's body. Rather, it was easy to find clues from a person's habitual movements, figure, back, etc. But just now, when he had followed behind Wang Fei, he didn't find any similarities between Wang Fei's movements when she was dressed as a man and when she was dressed as a woman. Even when Wang Fei was dressed as a man, her walking posture, her expression, and her eyes didn't look like a woman's at all. She looked just like a handsome young master of fourteen or fifteen years old. Qin Feng didn't know why Wang Fei, as a daughter of a noble family, would know these things, but since the Prince trusted Wang Fei, and they had personally seen Wang Fei's abilities in Yonglin City, then he naturally would follow Wang Fei's orders.
Qin Feng followed Ye Li on a fast horse to the foot of Black Cloud Peak. Last time, he had come to this place with the Prince. But in a year, it had changed a bit. Two villages stood at the foot of the mountain that was originally somewhat remote and barren. A small village was built on the foundation of the original mountain village on the mountainside. The people at the foot of the mountain were busy working in the fields. It looked no different from the normal villages outside Jing.
The two dismounted and went up the mountain. They circled around the village at the foot of the mountain and came to the edge of the cliff at the back of the mountain. Qin Feng looked down. It wasn't very deep. "Wang Fei, are we going down?"
Ye Li looked at him with a smile and said, "I heard that your Black Cloud Cavalry's martial arts aren't bad. If you aren't afraid of death, jump down and see."
Qin Feng looked suspiciously at the bottom of the cliff and frowned. With his martial arts, even if it wasn't easy to go down, it wouldn't be life-threatening unless there were some traps below. With Ye Li's warning, Qin Feng did not rashly use his qinggong to jump down. Instead, he used something like the Wall Climbing Technique to slowly slide down the cliff. Fortunately, he had a dagger with him. Even if he stuck it into a crack in the rock, he wouldn't have slipped down. With great difficulty, he finally found a protruding spot. Before he could step on it, he discovered that the protruding spot had an arrow tip that was shining with a cold light. Qin Feng had no doubt that he would be turned into a hornet's nest if he were to lightly touch it.
Helplessly, he held his dagger and carefully avoided the dangers one by one as he slid down the cliff. Below his feet was a clear lake. There were even green lotus leaves and a few flower buds floating on the surface of the water. However, the various cold glints on the surface of the water were definitely there to mock him. Qin Feng took a deep breath and used his Qing Gong to cross the lake, not daring to let his feet touch the surface of the water.
"Three steps to the left."
Ye Li's voice sounded from nearby. Qin Feng, who was about to land, hurriedly took three steps to the left before landing on the ground. He tilted his head to look at Wang Fei who had clearly been waiting for him for a long time. Ye Li looked sardonically at him. She picked up a pebble from the ground and threw it at the spot he had just landed on. Woosh woosh —! After a fierce rain of arrows came from all directions, Qin Feng looked speechlessly at the place he had just landed on that was filled with arrows. He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Wang Fei … …"
Qin Feng looked at the smiling and gentle woman in front of him and felt his scalp tingle. He stood where he was and didn't dare to move a step. He didn't want to use his body to test whether or not every inch of the surrounding area was filled with traps. He looked at the clear and quiet lake that did not seem to be dangerous at all. He swore that the sight of the lake filled with arrows was not his imagination. If someone really did not know what was good for them and jumped down using their Qing Gong, that person would probably become an enormous hedgehog.
Ye Li said with a smile, "Don't be nervous. It's just a joke. This place is not like this normally. "
Qin Feng was silent. He believed that it would be more dangerous normally.
Ye Li turned and pointed at the endless forest behind her. She asked with a smile, "Have you been here before?" Qin Feng looked and hesitated before shaking his head. He said, "It is not convenient to train soldiers near Jing. The Black Cloud Cavalry usually train at a place a few hundred li away from Jing." Also, the Black Cloud Cavalry were cavalry. Even if they trained, they would usually train in the wilderness or desert. In the forest, cavalry could not be used at all. Ye Li said with a smile, "When will the person I want arrive?" Qin Feng hesitated. "They should arrive in two hours." Qin Feng really did not have much confidence when he said this. Wang Fei had only given him a bunch of maps that could not be any simpler. Also, each map was not the same. Even though the Black Cloud Cavalry were skilled in tracking, he still had to look at the map for a long time before he was able to determine the approximate location. He did not know if the Black Cloud Cavalry would be able to find the place. As for what Wang Fei said about being disqualified if they were discovered by the commoners, Qin Feng did not even think about it. Even if the soldiers of the Black Cloud Cavalry were new recruits, if they did not want to, they would not be discovered by a group of commoners.
"How many can they arrive?"
"The Black Cloud Cavalry and the Mohist army near Jing each chose fifty elite soldiers. Even if they cannot all arrive, at least seventy or eighty should not be a problem." Qin Feng thought for a moment and said. "Wang Fei …" Qin Feng hesitated but still felt that he should clarify the question that had puzzled him for many days. He was the commander of the Black Cloud Cavalry. Even though he was not the highest commander and only had two thousand people under him, he still felt that he should be responsible for the elite soldiers of the Black Cloud Cavalry. If Wang Fei felt that the Shadow Guard was not satisfied, then she should have the Shadow Guard Commander train more and choose better ones. Even though transferring fifty elite soldiers would not affect the strength of the Black Cloud Cavalry, what was the use of these soldiers? If they were to be used as Shadow Guard, seventy or eighty people was clearly too many. Also, the Prince Ding Mansion had Shadow Guards to begin with. If communication was not good, it could easily cause conflict between the Shadow Guard and the Black Cloud Cavalry. If they were to be used on the battlefield, seventy or eighty people, no matter how elite, would not be of much use. After all, using one person's strength to fight against an army of thousands was the same as throwing their lives away.
"You are thinking too much." Seeing Qin Feng's hesitation and conflict, Ye Li said with a helpless smile, "Don't worry about this. I also transferred thirty people from the Shadow Guard. Let's see who gets here first. Do you want to make a bet? "
Qin Feng thought about how he had heard An San mention Wang Fei's gambling skills in Yonglin. He thought for a moment and said firmly, "Black Cloud Cavalry." Without a doubt, of the three groups, the Black Cloud Cavalry's combat strength and mobility far surpassed the others. Maybe their martial arts were not as good as some people in the Shadow Guard, but their courage had to be known. Other than the Shadow Guard specially trained for the Prince and Wang Fei, not all the other Shadow Guard were strong in martial arts. As for the Black Cloud Cavalry, every single one of them had undergone strict training and were already used to fighting as one. Ye Li raised an eyebrow and said disapprovingly, "I feel that the Shadow Guard will arrive first, followed by the Black Cloud Cavalry, but the Mohist army will have the most people."
