Douluo: My princess is undercover

Chapter 79 Arriving at Zilin Pass

On the night of the fifth day, Xue Haochen and others finally arrived at Zilin Pass. At this moment, he suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps. This kind of footsteps was very orderly, and there were quite a lot of people. It was obvious that There is an army marching!

The footsteps were so far away that even a titled Douluo-level soul master couldn't detect them. But Xue Haochen was different. His ears could hear the sound of arrows thousands of meters away.

"You go to Zilin Pass and wait for me first," Xue Haochen said to Yu Tianyun and others. To be on the safe side, he still felt it was necessary to go and investigate.

"Yes." Although he had some doubts in his heart, Yu Tianyun had no objection.

The next moment, Xue Haochen hid his breath and rose into the air, quickly flying towards the source of the sound. Although it was dark now, the darkness could not hinder his sight.

This investigation made Xue Haochen's heart skip a beat. As expected, he saw densely packed troops in the jungle below. The armor worn by these soldiers was dark blue. He knew at a glance that they were not soldiers of the Tiandou Empire!

A rough estimate puts the number of this army at between 15 and [-], which is not a small number. You must know that there are only less than [-] defenders at Zilin Pass.

It's unusual for this army to be here!Now that there is a war, the defenders of Zilin Pass are much more vigilant than usual. How can they let the enemy sneak into the hinterland silently?This is very doubtful!

"Is there a mole inside?"Xue Haochen secretly guessed, feeling a little troubled in his heart

If this army were to go behind Zilin and launch a surprise attack, the consequences would be disastrous. Even if the Zilin Pass could not be breached, it would cause great losses to the defenders of Zilin. If the enemy forces from the front attacked at the same time, the Zilin Pass would be lost. The probability is as high as over 90%!

Once Zilin Pass is lost, the Star Luo Empire's army can march straight in!The Tiandou Empire will definitely be in serious trouble by then.

Xue Haochen was not familiar with the situation at Zilin Pass. After thinking about it, he still couldn't pinpoint who the ghost was. For the current plan, he could only go to the guard of Zilin Pass.

So Xue Haochen quickly rushed towards Zilin Pass. With the help of Xiao Jin, he quickly arrived at Zilin Pass. With his identity token, he successfully found the general who defended the city.

"General Ximen, long time no see," Xue Haochen asked when he arrived at the tent.

The guard of Zilin Pass is a direct descendant of the Ximen family, and he is also the son of Ximen Ba, named Ximen Zhan, but he is different from the rats of the Ximen family.

Ximen Zhan was a very upright man, always upright in his actions, and loyal to the empire. It was for this reason that Emperor Xueye entrusted him with important responsibilities.

"I have met Your Highness," Ximen Zhan said with his hands raised when he saw Xue Haochen arriving.

With his identity, he was no stranger to Xue Haochen, and he also knew Xue Haochen's abilities. Even though Xue Minghan was his nephew, he was more optimistic about Xue Haochen.

"General Ximen, I discovered some situations on the way here. I need you to make corresponding arrangements immediately, otherwise something big will happen," Xue Haochen said.

"What's the matter"?Realizing that something was not right about Xue Haochen's expression, Ximen Zhan asked.

"An army from the Star Luo Empire appeared on the left wing of Zilin Pass. The number is no less than [-]. They are very close to here. They can arrive here early tomorrow morning at the latest!"Xue Haochen briefly described the situation to Ximen Zhan.

"What! Are you serious?"Hearing this, Ximen Zhan's face turned terribly dark, and some cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He didn't expect such a big mistake to be made, but he didn't know anything about it, and he felt shocked and angry.

"That's true. Judging from their appearance, we should be able to see our defenses very clearly. I suspect that there is someone in Zilin Pass who is cheating, and this person's status is not low..." Xue Haochen analyzed.

"Asshole! Don't let me know who it is"!Ximen Zhan was immediately furious. He had been marching and fighting for more than ten years, and he had naturally experienced this kind of thing.

He knew the defensive layout of Zilin Pass very well. Not to mention an army of tens of thousands, even a small team of a hundred people could not sneak up under his nose!Only a team composed of extremely powerful soul masters would be able to do it.

Now there is only one possibility for the enemy to get in, and that is as Xue Haochen said, there must be a spy on their side!There is no other explanation than this.

"Huh..., Your Highness, what are you going to do?"After a long time, Ximen Zhan slowly calmed down.

"Haha, this kind of matter should be handled by General Ximen," Xue Haochen said. After all, Ximen Zhan is the head coach here. It is not easy for him to dominate the scene, and he is not familiar with the people here.

"Thank you, I will definitely give His Highness a satisfactory explanation"!Ximen Zhan said seriously that he felt ashamed that such a thing happened.

You must know that the defenders of Zilin Pass belong to the Polu Army, and the Polu Army is in the hands of the Ximen family. Although he is not the commander of the Polu Army, he also has responsibilities that he cannot shirk!

"Come here! Submit my general order immediately! Let all senior generals gather in the meeting hall! Violators will be dealt with according to military law"!Ximen Zhan shouted to the guard outside the door.

"Ahem..." At this moment, Ximen Zhan suddenly coughed violently. It was obvious that his anger had touched old wounds.

"General Ximen, are you injured?"Xue Haochen had just noticed Ximen Zhan's injuries, but he didn't have time to ask.

Ximen Zhan's injuries were already serious, and it looked like they should have been left by a strong man not long ago.

"I feel ashamed to say that I met Dai Tianci on the battlefield a few days ago. I am not his opponent. This injury was left at that time," Ximen Zhan explained.

When he mentioned Dai Tianci, his eyes were very solemn and could even be said to be fearful.

"I've heard of this guy too, is he really that powerful?"Xue Haochen couldn't help but ask, Ximen Zhan is a genuine Contra, but when it comes to Dai Tianci, he is as fearful as a tiger!

"Well, with all due respect, among the generals in the entire empire, except for General Situ Yang, I am afraid that no one can be Dai Tianci's opponent." Ximen Zhan shook his head. Although saying this may sound like being timid before fighting, it is also true. .

"Interesting", Xue Haochen is becoming more and more curious about Dai Tianci. If there is a chance, he would like to compete with him.

Not long after, the guards who delivered the order came back, saying that the senior generals at Zilin Pass had gathered.

"Your Highness, you have traveled a long way and are tired, so you should go and rest first. I will inform you of the results as soon as possible," Ximen Zhan said to Xue Haochen.

"No, I also want to see who is so bold," Xue Haochen replied.

"Okay", Ximen Zhan did not refuse. Xue Haochen was personally appointed by Emperor Xue Ye, so he was naturally qualified to know.
