"Wang Fei … if you made a mistake, shouldn't you use death to atone for it?"
Ye Li rolled her eyes at the sky and asked, "If the person who made the mistake uses death to atone for it, does that mean that the mistake no longer exists?"
"Then … what should be done?"
"Of course you should try to survive and atone for your mistake. Death is the action of a coward, "Ye Li said firmly. The three youths thought for a long time before one of them carefully asked, "Wang Fei, that … will Qi Lin still want people?" Ye Li smiled, "You also know about Qi Lin?" The three nodded in unison. Qi Lin was not completely hidden in the Mohist army and King Ding's fu. Compared to the hundreds of thousands of Mohist army scattered all over the place, the Shadow Guard obviously knew more. The three youths looked at Zhuo Jing and Wei Lin who were hanging upside down on a tree not far away and their eyes were filled with envy and yearning. They were all from Fu Zhi and some of them had even trained and grown up with them. But now, they looked so different.
Ye Li tilted her head and smiled, "Of course, if you can return alive this time, I may be able to talk to Qin Feng and ask him to give you a chance. But … do you want to convince Mo Hua yourself? "
The three youths were overjoyed and their youthful faces flashed with vitality, sweeping away their previous fatigue and depression.
"Someone is coming!" Zhuo Jing and Wei Lin jumped down from the tree at the same time and landed beside Ye Li with vigilant expressions. The other people also quickly stood up and prepared for battle.
Ye Li listened and said in a deep voice, "Two groups of people, one group is going up the mountain and is still far from here. The other group is going up and coming down is Mo Hua's group. " The Shadow Guard behind her had quickly extinguished the fire and in a blink of an eye, Mo Hua had also brought a few Shadow Guards to the front. Mo Hua said with a heavy face, "Just now, I saw someone coming up the mountain." Ye Li frowned and said, "Going down the mountain is definitely not possible. The foot of the mountain is completely surrounded. Is there a path up the mountain?" Mo Hua said, "There is a cliff at the top of the mountain and the mountain opposite the cliff is completely separated from here. If we can make it … "
"Is it okay?" Ye Li asked.
Mo Hua nodded slightly. "It's worth a try."
Ye Li exhaled slightly and said in a deep voice, "Let's go up the mountain."
The group walked up the mountain. Along the way, Ye Li noticed that a few Shadow Guards had left their group under Mo Hua's signal. Ye Li knew that they were trying to distract the pursuers that could catch up with them at any time. Glancing at the Shadow Guard who left silently, Ye Li didn't say anything. She just silently followed the Shadow Guard's footsteps up the mountain. The pursuers seemed to be coming very quickly. Not long after, the sound of a crowd and the sound of close combat could be heard from afar. However, the sound gradually faded away. It was obvious that someone had led them in the opposite direction. Mo Hua turned her head to look at the place where the sound was getting farther and farther away. She frowned and said, "Wang Fei, the people coming up the mountain don't seem to be the pursuers of the imperial court." Ye Li nodded silently. That group of people had just been at the foot of the mountain. If they could catch up so quickly, they definitely weren't ordinary soldiers. It was obvious that the other party was an expert. "They are Lei Zhenting's people."
Zhuo Jing said, "Zhennan Palace has a secret group of private guards called the Gold-clothed Guards. There are about a thousand of them. They usually guard Zhennan Palace. Every time Jhennan Of Gojoseon goes on a campaign, they always accompany him. It was because of their existence that Jhennan Of Gojoseon was able to escape death many times on the battlefield. This included when Jhennan Of Gojoseon was defeated by the old Prince. It was this group of Gold-clothed Guards that sacrificed almost all of their people to rescue him. The Gold-clothed Guards saved Jhennan Of Gojoseon's life. Even though they were almost completely wiped out, Jhennan Of Gojoseon rebuilt them afterwards, "Ye Li asked as they walked up the mountain," The Shadow Guard doesn't seem to have received this news. " Zhuo Jing said, "Ever since the Gold-clothed Guards were almost completely wiped out by the old Prince when they tried to save Jhennan Of Gojoseon, they haven't appeared in front of anyone. Almost everyone thinks that they don't exist anymore. This subordinate was told by Master Ming Yue before he left. "Ye Li was deep in thought as they walked through the forest." What about the Gold-clothed Guards and Qi Lin? "
Without much thought, Zhuo Jing replied, "They can't compare. The Gold-clothed Guards only train in martial arts. They are only responsible for Jhennan Of Gojoseon's safety and occasionally listen to Jhennan Of Gojoseon's orders to deal with some people. Master Ming Yue meant that their martial arts are not inferior to the Shadow Guard's. "
Everyone's hearts were heavy. Even if one or two hundred elite soldiers came at them, they might not be able to handle it, let alone the fact that they were not inferior to the Shadow Guard's.
As they walked, the group finally arrived at the edge of the cliff halfway up the mountain. Even though they were only halfway up the mountain, the mountains in the northwest were not low. Moreover, it was the beginning of winter. Under the night sky, looking down the cliff, there was only a vast expanse of white clouds. Nothing could be seen below. Looking at the cliff in front of them, Ye Li turned her head and asked, "How far is it to the other side?" Mo Hua thought for a moment, then said, "About fifteen or sixteen zhang." Ye Li thought for a moment, then nodded and asked, "How is everyone's qinggong? Can you cross? " Mo Hua nodded. Of the people present, there were only two Shadow Guards whose qinggong was slightly weaker. The rest of them could cross. Ye Li said to the two Shadow Guards, "You two can go down the mountain together or separately. Be careful not to attract the attention of the pursuers. If the encirclement at the foot of the mountain is too tight, wait for a while. "The two Shadow Guards were startled and looked at Ye Li helplessly. Ye Li sighed softly and said, "Hurry up and go. It's only two people. We'll be there soon. There's no point in you staying." Behind her, Mo Hua nodded silently. The two Shadow Guards bowed to Ye Li, then turned and left, quickly disappearing into the darkness.
"Alright, let's get ready to go. Mo Hua has studied the terrain before. You go first. "Ye Li turned and said to Mo Hua.
Mo Hua didn't delay. She tapped her feet and flew towards the cliff on the other side. When she landed, she could only see Mo Hua's blurry figure in the fog. Ye Li waved her hand to let the Shadow Guards go one by one. When it was Zhuo Jing and Wei Lin's turn, neither of them moved first. Ye Li raised an eyebrow and said, "What do you want to do?" Zhuo Jing said in a deep voice, "This subordinate and Wei Lin have seen wang fei's qinggong. You can't cross." Ye Li stilled and then smiled helplessly. If she had known that this day would come, she would have trained her qinggong even if she died of exhaustion. Her qinggong could only be considered second-rate. Right now, there was a faint feeling of discomfort coming from her abdomen. It was a dream to fly over by herself. Ye Li glanced at Zhuo Jing and said, "Can you take me over?" Zhuo Jing lowered his head and gritted his teeth, saying, "No." It required first-rate qinggong to cross a fifteen to sixteen zhang cliff. To take a person over, it didn't just require qinggong, it also required the support of great internal energy. Wei Lin smiled faintly and said, "This subordinate can't either, so we will stay and accompany wang fei."
There was a faint noise coming from the distance. Ye Li swept an exasperated look over the two and said, "Nonsense! Are you going to die with me? "
On the other side, a black shadow came through the air and landed on the ground. He looked at the three with a frown and said, "Why haven't you left?" His gaze paused on Ye Li's body. Mo Hua instantly remembered that wang fei had only practiced internal qinggong for a little over a year. This kind of distance could not be crossed with qinggong. "This subordinate did not consider thoroughly. Wang fei, please forgive this subordinate. This subordinate will take wang fei over. "Ye Li looked at him with a smile and asked," How confident are you? "Mo Hua was silent. After a long time, he said in a deep voice," Twenty percent. " If it was daytime, maybe he would be twenty percent confident. But now, the sky was dark and there was a thick fog. At most, he only had twenty percent confidence. Ye Li shook her head and said with a smile, "Then you mean that we have an eighty percent chance of falling off the cliff and not leaving behind a corpse? You go over first. I have my ways. "How could Zhuo Jing and the others be willing? Wei Lin said, "Then wang fei, please go over first. We don't need much time." Mo Hua frowned and said, "The pursuers are close. If they really are martial arts experts, if they find us, we won't be able to escape even if we go over."
