Gu Qingheng did not raise any objections to Ran Lei’s proposal. Instead, he set down the carrying basket and procured writing materials, pen and paper, to draft a letter on the spot. This he presented to Ran Lei, stating, "From the place where we encountered each other, travel east out of the mountains for approximately ten miles, and you will arrive at the Daxuan military encampment. Present this letter to either General Zhou Jiang or Prince Qi Jingyi. They will ensure your safety and arrangements. Remember, speak to no one else besides these two individuals."
"You..." Ran Lei, despite his ability to comprehend the Daxuan dialect, was unable to read Daxuan characters, leaving him in a state of surprise and uncertainty.
"Proceed now, and inform them that we have located the individual and will be escorting them back," Gu Qingheng said, raising his hand to clap the other person’s shoulder.
"But how can the three of you possibly manage?" Ran Lei inquired, shaking his head. "Wouldn't that be tantamount to throwing your lives away? I cannot stand by and watch you perish, especially Senior Mingxu..."
"We will not be throwing our lives away," Gu Qingheng responded with a chuckle. He perceived this individual as possessing integrity and warmth, making him a worthy acquaintance.
"Cease your incessant chatter. I have not yet exhausted my lifespan; how could I possibly depart so soon?" Dao Xuzi cast a sideways glance at Ran Lei.
Ran Lei let out an awkward chuckle, his heart still heavy with indecision. After a brief moment, he made his choice: "Arang, escort Ayang to the Daxuan military camp." With that, he placed the letter into Ayang’s hand, adding, "I shall seek you out later."
"Brother Alei, you..."
"Listen, if you remain here with Jin Bao, you will merely become a liability. Once you depart, we will have greater freedom to maneuver. Trust us, we will manage," Ran Lei stated earnestly, gripping Ayang’s shoulders with both hands.
"If you are departing, then make haste and cease this lingering. It is time to move," Dao Xuzi expressed with evident impatience.
Ayang ultimately ceased her protests, offering a nod. She adjusted Jin Bao onto her back and reached out to embrace Ran Lei, saying, "Brother Alei, I shall await your arrival." She understood that remaining here with Jin Bao would undoubtedly present a hindrance, particularly Jin Bao; a few crying fits from him could endanger everyone present.
Ran Lei nodded in acknowledgment.
"Allow Ah Zi to escort you. Otherwise, with only that wolfhound, should you encounter any members of the Flame Sect, it would offer little assistance. Furthermore, with Ah Zi accompanying you, they will likely admit you even without the letter," Gu Qingheng gestured towards the purple-eyed Spiritual Fox.
The black-haired wolfhound emitted a soft whimper, feeling a sense of injustice. However, upon glancing at Ah Zi, it recognized its own limitations as a mere ordinary wolfhound. Faced with the formidable presence of Ah Zi, it could only resign itself to its aggrieved feelings.
Ah Zi, being rather indolent, found that carrying two individuals hindered her speed. Consequently, she simply settled onto the wolfhound's back, utilizing it as a makeshift steed.
As the sight of the two adults, one child, the wolfhound, and the fox faded into the distance, the atmosphere among those remaining grew somber and serious.
"Now, we must devise a strategy to infiltrate and assess the situation," Gu Qingheng declared. He and his companions ascended the opposite side of the slope. Utilizing the dense surrounding vegetation for concealment, they gained a clear vantage point, observing a significant portion of the activity within the mountain hollow. Their observations revealed a greater number of guards than they had anticipated, with many identified as Medicinal Soldiers, underscoring the paramount importance of the location. Even if Qi Jingyun was not being held there, the site undoubtedly contained something of immense value.
"But how shall we infiltrate?" Ran Lei pondered, his brow furrowed.
"Is it not a simple matter of apprehending someone and appropriating their attire?" Dao Xuzi remarked, plucking a blade of grass from nearby and beginning to chew on it.
"Apprehend someone? That may not be as straightforward as it sounds; what if..."
Before Ran Lei could complete his sentence, Ming Guang had already vanished from sight. Seconds later, a figure moved with lightning speed, swiftly disappearing down the slope.
