Chen Ze and his party went non-stop and did not stay in Ketan City for long.

After leaving Xu Qing and Meng Yang to command a hundred thousand soldiers and horses, their exploration team of more than a hundred people began to rush towards the canyon more than thirty miles west of Ketan City.

In addition to Chen Ze, their team also includes Chen Ming, who is very good at scouting, Guo Zi, who has possessed General Ma Teng, and Gu Qingfeng, a five-man beheading team who has recently trained with great results. They are all elite soldiers with personal strength.

The top veteran of hundreds of battles, and...

General Luo and his subordinate with extraordinary archery skills.

"Master General, why do you need to take risks yourself?"

During the march, Chen Ze and General Luo rode side by side and asked half curiously and half helplessly.

At this time, there were no outsiders. General Luo took off his disguise and smiled calmly at Chen Ze: "It's not about being in danger. Let's go and have a look. Maybe we can help."

"Oh, you don't have to worry about my safety. I think I still have some ability to protect myself."

As he spoke, he pointedly motioned to the master of archery who was following behind.

Since the other party said so, Chen Ze no longer tried to persuade him.

In this way, there was no more words to say along the way.

Fortunately, the bright moon was high today, and the road to the west of Ketan City was quite smooth. Even if they drove all night, it did not cause any trouble. As midnight approached, the group of them finally arrived one mile outside the canyon under the leadership of Guan Ping.

At a hidden mountain col on the left and right, we met the scouts who were staying here to explore the movements of the troops in the valley.

There is a naturally formed small cave in the mountain col, which can accommodate only five or six people. Guan Ping led Chen Ze, Luo Zongbing, and their confidants to compare the secret codes and enter the cave. The people inside hurriedly came forward.

After hearing Guan Ping introduce Chen Ze's identity, the man quickly saluted him and praised him: "Your Excellency!"

Chen Ze waved his hand and went straight to the point: "How is the situation?"

"Same old thing."

This person is Guan Ping's deputy, his surname is Ma Jun. He immediately responded after hearing this: "The situation these days is almost the same as when Brother Guan left. There are troops entering the canyon constantly, but no one is seen. There is no movement from the outside.

Can’t see.”

Chen Ze frowned slightly. It was too dark at this time and he couldn't see clearly what the canyon outside looked like. He thought about it and asked: "Based on your observations, how many soldiers can be stationed in this canyon?"

Although he had seen the map of the Nantes Province and had some impression of this canyon called Hao Qiong, he only saw it from the map after all. It is close to the Fengqi Province and is not an important military area, so there is no

More detailed situations are specifically marked.

"Looking at it from my subordinates' perspective..."

Ma Jun looked at Guan Ping and muttered: "Haoqiong Canyon is quite big. When Brother Guan left, he ordered us brothers to explore it thoroughly."

"Although I dare not go inside, I still went around the outside. From what I can see, if I want to hide two to three million people in this canyon, there will be no problem!"

"Two or three million?"

Chen Ze thought for a moment and suddenly looked at Ma Jun, "You just said you didn't dare to go in?"

"this……"

Ma Jun rubbed his head in embarrassment and said apologetically: "My lord, please forgive me. If my subordinates and others sneaked into the canyon rashly due to lack of time and energy, they would be afraid of being discovered by the people inside, and might scare the snake away instead."

"But speaking of a hidden route into the valley, my subordinates and others actually discovered one."

"oh?"

Chen Ze raised his eyebrows and suddenly became interested, asking: "Where is this route?"

Ma Jun rushed to the waiting brother and dismounted. The man quickly stepped forward and took out a sketch from his arms, spread it out in front of Chen Ze, pointed to a specially marked zigzag red line and said: "Return

Sir, I have been through this route before, and there is an underground river leading into the canyon. If you follow the current, you can enter the canyon."

"At first, the villain set up a raft and took advantage of the night to get in once. Unfortunately, the river turned from underground to above ground after entering the canyon. Before the villain came out of the cave, he saw the swaying fire in front of him in the distance. At the moment, he didn't

If he dared to get closer, he could only paddle to the river bank, pull the bamboo raft to the bank, and walk back along the river bank for two days before returning, and almost died in it."

When he mentioned the tragic incident, he still looked frightened.

"if……"

He hesitated for a moment, thought for a while and then said: "If there are brothers with good water skills who can dive from the entrance of the cave at night, I think we can avoid the sentry guarding there."

As he spoke, Chen Ze looked at the sketch carefully.

It is said to be a sketch, but it is actually very detailed. Not only is the landscape of the entire canyon very similar to what Chen Ze saw on the map of Nantes, but also where there are woods, where there are rivers, and even creeks, they are all clearly marked.

Chu.

Of course, only the outside is clear, but the inside of the canyon is still foggy.

After reading the sketch and the report of the remaining scouts, Chen Ze nodded and looked at Chen Ming, "Is there a way to get in?"

Chen Ming had been looking at the sketches for a long time, and he listened carefully to the words of his colleagues. When he heard this, he frowned slightly and said solemnly: "There is a way, but you need some help, and you have to try your luck."

"What help?"

Chen Ze asked, and added: "What is the chance of success in the so-called luck?"

Chen Ming considered it carefully, shook his head and said: "This method can only be entered by me alone, but the chance of success is about 60%!"

Sixty percent?

Chen Ze looked thoughtful. Although the probability was more than half, it was actually a bit low.

In case of failure, firstly, Chen Ming would be folded there, and secondly, he would be able to alert the enemy and make the troops with unknown intentions in the canyon be wary.

If the people in this canyon are really Zhu Yan's army sent by Fengqi Province or other places to support Nantes Province, once they realize that their whereabouts are exposed, they may not wait for the troops to gather and directly order the attack on Ketan City.

With the strength of the troops in the canyon at this time, even if the opponent has not completed the assembly, they still cannot defend it.

The two reluctances were on Chen Ze's mind, making him unable to make a decision.

However, while he was hesitating, someone next to him suddenly said loudly: "Since there is more than a half chance, I think it's okay to bet!"

The one who spoke was Commander Luo.

"Don't get me wrong!"

Seeing Chen Ze looking at him, Mr. Luo waved his hands and said: "I'm not making a decision, I'm just making a suggestion. And I think that since this brother said there is a 60% probability, then if I add this brother, the success rate will be

It should be possible to raise another 10%, and if it reaches 70%, we can always give it a try, right?"

As he spoke, he pointed with one hand towards the sharp archer, whom no one had ever seen speak.

"My brother, if he thinks he is second in archery skills in the Qingyang Empire, no one will dare to think he is first!"
