Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 152 Trust Ali, and You Will Gain Eternal Life

Commander Wan was eventually persuaded. After eating and drinking his fill, he went back and quickly rested and went to sleep.

Chu Xiaohe looked at Chu Yueli and said, "Ali, you should get some rest too."

"No, brother, I'll venture into Xishan tonight."

"What?" Chu Yueli's words made Chu Xiaohe tense: "Ali, didn't you say..."

"I did say that the soldiers needed rest, but I didn't say that I needed it."

Chu Yueli put away the topographic map and handed it to Chu Xiaohe: "I have memorized this topographic map. I'll leave it to you. Tomorrow morning, elder brother, lead the soldiers into Xishan and follow my instructions. Remember, use the same code we agreed on before."

She walked out of the tent.

Chu Xiaohe quickly chased after him, saying, "Ali, how could I leave you alone..."

Chu Yueli had already mounted her horse and looked back at him: "Brother, I'm not alone, I'm with Zisu."

"Nonsense!" How could two little girls go into enemy territory alone to gather military intelligence? Don't they have a death wish?

However, Chu Yueli ignored him completely, and after avoiding the soldiers, she walked all the way out of the military camp.

Chu Xiaohe feared that making too much noise would arouse suspicion and unease among the soldiers.

He could only hurry after them, saying, "Ah Li, stop fooling around and get down quickly, or your older brother will come up and arrest you, and you might not look good then."

"That depends on whether my brother can catch me."

As soon as Chu Yueli finished speaking, she suddenly spurred her horse, and it instantly bolted forward.

Chu Xiaohe was startled and quickly tried to chase after her, but saw Zisu riding a horse and blocking his way.

"Zisu! Your young lady has gone mad, are you going mad too?"

“Young Master, back when you were in the army, Miss could always easily grasp the terrain ahead with unparalleled accuracy. Did you really think she could calculate it with her fingers?” Zisu blinked.

Chu Xiaohe looked bewildered: "What do you mean?"

“It’s always Miss who goes to scout ahead herself, Young Master, don’t you know that?” Zisu smiled, then suddenly turned her horse around and said, “Young Master, you are the commander-in-chief. Departing from the army is a capital offense. Please calm down.”

"As for my young lady... the eldest young master sent her to scout the terrain, and she has gone to carry out the order. Eldest young master, remember the young lady's code!"

Zisu also left.

Chu Xiaohe wanted to give chase, but then he remembered Zisu's words: he was the commander-in-chief, and leaving the army without permission was a capital offense.

Moreover, he couldn't possibly abandon his brothers to chase after Ali; their lives were in his hands.

"Chu Yi!" Chu Xiaohe shouted, "Quickly catch up with them and protect them!"

"Yes!" Chu Yi immediately rode off to give chase.

Chu Xiaohe was uneasy, but in order not to cause panic among the soldiers, he did not dare to tell them that Chu Yue had gone to the front.

That night at midnight, Chu Yi finally returned, but he did not bring back Chu Yueli and Zisu.

"Young Master, this is all I've seen since I entered the mountain system."

He placed a letter on the ground with both hands.

A letter! This was clearly written in advance by Chu Yueli and left for them.

Sure enough, in the letter, Chu Yueli said, "Brother, trust me. Get some rest and don't bother Chu Yi anymore. We'll set off after dawn tomorrow. Look for my mark."

"Young Master, what do we do now?" Chu Yi really couldn't catch up, and this result made him start to doubt his life.

My riding skills aren't bad at all! But those two girls were like they were blown away by the wind, leaving no trace whatsoever.

Chu Xiaohe stared at the letter for a long while before saying helplessly, "Ali told me to be obedient, so let's... get some rest."

Believe in Ali, and you will gain eternal life.
