The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1721: Stronghold Exposed

In the forest, there’s always a patrol responsible, most of them are Ye Shikai and Man Cang’s personal guard squad, while the Hidden Guard is entirely stationed inside the stronghold.

"Leader, there’s a squad of soldiers patrolling ahead, it seems we have found the place." A group of dark-clad figures were hiding in the forest, observing every move here.

"It seems the intelligence from the scouts was correct, go immediately to the rear camp and notify the master to advance the main force."

"Understood."

The leader of the dark-clad figures gestured lightly, and several companions behind him slowly moved forward, surrounding from multiple directions like a pack of Evil Wolves, targeting the patrol squad before them.

"Take action."

In the blink of an eye, over ten dark-clad figures surged forward, their movement technique extremely fast, evidently all cultivators. Although the patrol squad consisted of battle-hardened soldiers, they were still powerless against cultivators, especially in such a surprise attack.

Crack, crack.

White blades in, red blades out, the sudden ambush by the dark-clad figures was very effective; the patrol squad, twenty soldiers in total, couldn’t react at all, as the dark-clad figures were obviously trained assassination experts.

"Not good, there’s an assassin." The leading patrol captain was once Ye Shikai’s guard captain, with excellent skills and quick reflexes, but faced with the assault from over ten cultivators, he had no means to resist, as his brothers behind him were swiftly slashed with daggers by the dark-clad figures. In desperation, the patrol captain pulled out a crossbow from his waist and shot it toward the sky...

Swoosh, bang.

The crossbow arrow shot toward the sky and exploded in mid-air, this was the signal arrow given by Ye Shikai, tied with a small piece of explosive, just needed to shoot into the air, its explosion sound was enough to be heard clearly within a radius of five miles.

"This is bad." Seeing this, the dark-clad leader personally stepped forward, swiftly sidestepped before the patrol captain, and stabbed his chest directly with a dagger.

"Leader, what should we do now."

"Follow me, kill our way in, leave no one alive."

"Understood."

Inside the stronghold.

"What’s going on." Ye Shikai quickly got dressed, both he and He Linghan were awake, intending to sleep when they unexpectedly heard the explosion of the signal arrow.

Ye Shikai rushed out, the patrol soldiers had already reacted, the resting ones also got up one after another, the Hidden Guard gathered at the front of the house immediately.

"What exactly happened." Ye Shikai asked loudly.

"The sound of the signal arrow came from the forest, something must have happened." Shangguan Jian hurriedly ran over and said.

"What, how could this be." Ye Shikai’s heart tightened, the patrol captain was his former guard captain, skillful, well-trained, and a seasoned veteran. If he had issued a distress signal, then the danger was real.

"General, let me lead a team of soldiers to go into the forest and check." Man Cang volunteered.

"No, you and all the soldiers stay here, the Hidden Guard will come with me." Ye Shikai waved his hand, if it’s cultivators encountered, ordinary soldiers may not be opponents.

"Husband, what happened, is it dangerous." At this moment, He Linghan had already changed clothes and walked out from the house.

"It seems enemies have sneaked in from the forest, I’m taking the Hidden Guard to check. Ling’er, you stay here and do not leave." Ye Shikai turned and said, "Shangguan, Man Cang, you also stay here, wait for my return, everyone prepare for defense."

"Understood."

"Understood."

.................................

Ye Shikai led the Hidden Guard into the forest, just in time to see the approaching dark-clad figures, Ye Shikai could feel, they were all cultivators, not top-notch but still skilled. In Linxiang City within a radius of a hundred miles, to have so many elite cultivators, only one person could arrange that, Mi Wen, these people were her personal guards.

Mi Wen had arrived.

Ye Shikai’s heart panicked, this was definitely not good news, to be precise, it meant disaster was looming. He didn’t know why Mi Wen would know the position of the stronghold, but at this moment, he had no time to think.

"Kill them for me." Ye Shikai ordered coldly, hundreds from both sides clashed in battle, it was quite "spectacular." In the battle between cultivators, within less than five minutes, the ground was already full of corpses.

"Netherworld King Spell — Shadow Clone." Ye Shikai activated the Main God Skill, and suddenly dozens of "him" appeared in the vast forest, this scene shocked everyone, shifting the battle overwhelmingly in their favor.

Ten minutes later.

"Master, all of them are wiped out, no survivors."

"These people are skillful, and all cultivators, they must be Mi Wen’s men. How many Hidden Guard were lost." Ye Shikai asked.

"Thirty-three were killed, over ten were lightly or seriously injured, currently able to fight... about eighty or more." Ye Shikai counted the numbers, the loss was considerable, after all, the opponent’s numbers were not few, if Ye Shikai hadn’t activated the Main God Skill, more might have been lost.

"Master, what should we do now."

After the battle, Ye Shikai’s mind was clearer but also very chaotic, things happened too suddenly, without any guard. If Mi Wen really came, then this stronghold could no longer be used.

"Master, look over there." Suddenly, a Hidden Guard pointed to the distance, from afar in the woods, faint shadows of figures emerged, just from the shadows alone, the number was definitely not small. Ye Shikai vaguely felt the earth trembling, this was... the Chu Army.

"I’ll go, you go back and inform Shangguan Jian, let him gather everyone and prepare defenses, a large number of Chu Army have arrived."

"Understood."

"Everyone else, follow me into the forest, there are many mechanisms inside, we need to delay time as much as possible." Ye Shikai ordered.

"Understood."

"Understood."

Entrance of the forest.

"Master, according to the intelligence returned by the leader, this is the entrance, always follow this inward, then it’s where the stronghold is located."

"General Huo." Mi Wen rode on a warhorse, coldly gazing at the forest ahead, with a smug smile on her lips. Ye Shikai’s hiding place had finally been uncovered by her, and so quickly.

"Present."

"You personally lead five thousand soldiers and attack inside, if you encounter anyone, kill without mercy."

"Master, but General Ye..." Huo Ziqing hesitated, he was on good terms with Ye Shikai, to be honest, he really couldn’t bear to attack Ye Shikai.

"What, do you want to defy my military orders."

"I dare not."

"Then execute the order quickly. I’ll give you an hour."

"Understood." After saying this, Huo Ziqing led five thousand heavy-armored guards into the forest.
