Deep in the mountain pass, the crowd was sitting on a boulder, each one of them tightly locking their brows and displaying difficult expressions.

They're in an awkward position, being in a foreign world, with nowhere to go, and knowing nothing about what's going on here, and getting caught up in a storm on the wrong side of it.

It was a predictable fact that neither the Zhu Chess Kingdom nor the Wind Chess Kingdom would let them off easily.

The next situation is very bad, one wrong step, very likely to lose everything.

"Son of a bitch!" Li Mu cursed in a low voice, then shut his mouth.

He Xiaoyu comforted, "Senior brother, you don't have to be too anxious, it's imperative that you still hurry to figure out the current situation of this realm, and know this and that before you can make the right judgment."

"I know this, it's just that, although we have quite a few men and horses, the ones who can throw their weight around are only the four of us, and the rest are all demons and evil spirits, so how can we go out and scout for news?"

"If we can't, the four of us will go!"

"No, it's too dangerous!"

"Dangerous for sure, but there's no other way, we need to be informed, especially of the exit singularity, and these things can only be done personally, there's no other choice."

Lin Wan said in favor, "Xiao Yu is right, this matter can only be done by us... Hubby, you've always been very bold, why are you cowering now?"

Li Mu explained, "This is one thing and this is another; before, I was bold because I had no worries, but now I'm bold because I have a lot of worries and have to be careful."

Seeing that his wife's expression was still a bit puzzled, Li Mu only had to tell his worries in full.

Let's not talk about the past, just mention the present.

They showed up at a very bad time, so to speak, in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Now that they've hung out in two countries, they're in danger of being recognized wherever they go.

And what action either country will take once they realize they are alone, well, who can say.

In case of mischief, wouldn't they be shooting themselves in the foot.

The crowd knew that what he said was true, and for a while they were out of ideas.

Little Violet had been listening from the sidelines and took the initiative to volunteer, "Master, leave this matter to me, I'll help my master to scout for information."

"Can you?" Liamu questioned a bit.

"Don't worry master, although I am ugly in appearance, I have a small and flexible body, and I am good at disguise, I will sneak into Wind Chess Country and help my master to collect intelligence."

Lin Wan considered for a while and said to her husband, ''Husband, since Wind Chess Country is a demon country, there must be not a few people who look like Xiao Zi, and it will not look otherworldly when it mixes in.

I think it might be a good idea to let it give it a try, Violet is very skilled and good at camouflage, so it might really be able to find out a thing or two for us, and it's better suited for this than we are."

Liamu nodded slowly.

"In that case, let's make a hard trip to Violet, I have no more comments."

After a few people had discussed the matter, they were about to make arrangements when a jackal devil came to report.

"Master, a messenger from the Wind Chess Kingdom seeks an audience?"

The crowd was visibly stunned, it was strange that the other party was looking for them so quickly.

That said, how did the people from the Wind Chess Country find them, could it be that the other side had been following them?

Reimu asked, "Where are they people?"

"Back to master, just outside the depression, close to here."

Shen Xingyue said unhappily, "Didn't you arrange for sentries, letting people touch the camp before reacting, what are you all doing?"

The crowd of demons couldn't figure out what to do, they all looked at her with blank faces, and then quietly looked at Li Mu.

That means that the master didn't say that he needed a patrol either, so what do we know about that.

Li Mu touched his nose and said with some embarrassment, "Xing Yue, don't blame them, it was my negligence, not their responsibility."

Lin Wan comforted, "Husband doesn't have to say that, to be honest, none of us have thought of the need to arrange for sentries and horse scouts, to say that we were negligent, it was everyone who was negligent together."

Li Mu shook his head and said, "Negligence isn't quite the right word, it's actually ignorance, we simply don't have the experience to lead an army and can't consider it that much at all."

He Xiaoyu laughed, "Senior brother is modest, you love to watch ancient war movies, surely you understand these common sense, a small mistake is just a small mistake, no need to deny yourself."

"Movies and reality are two different things, watching a movie is a walk in the park, never take it to heart, if you don't get it, you don't get it, and that bit of self-denial, I can live with."

Saying this, he signaled to the treant demon, "Bring them here!"

The Demon turned around and left, and within a short time, brought the three Wind Chess Nation emissaries to the crowd.

The first person was an old acquaintance, Feng Ting, and the other two men were good looking, with rather heroic brows, holding their swords and standing behind Feng Ting, looking like they were her guards.

After both sides had met and saluted, Feng Ting said with a delicate smile, "I haven't yet asked for the gentleman's name, can I conveniently tell you?"

Li Mu said graciously, "My name is Li Mu, I come from the Meng Ze Continent, I see that the girl's speech is extraordinary, I think that she must be a leading person in the Wind Chess Country, I hope that I can tell you frankly."

"Your Excellency has flattered me, I don't dare to deceive your Excellency, I'm just an ordinary woman in the Wind Chess Kingdom, not a leading person."

Li Mu slightly frowned, knowing that her words were not true, this woman lies casually, lying at the same time, the tone of voice is calm, the voice has not changed, it seems to be a difficult guy.

He had a bad initial impression of this woman, and little Reeko didn't like women who lied, no matter what her intentions were.

However, for him, this was not a problem, and he did not think of having any friendship with this woman.

Both sides have their own affairs in mind, both are for their own interests, even if they are in danger, it is not incomprehensible.

"Miss Wind followed me all the way here, but is there something wrong?"

Feng Ting said daintily, "Mr. Li, my lord felt immensely gratified to learn of Mr. Li's great visit, and would like to invite you to a gathering at the barracks, so I hope that you will take the time to come."

Li Mu calmly refused, "I'm new to the treasure land, I'm not familiar with the place, and I have a lot of trivial matters in my hands, so I'm really distracted, I appreciate your lord's kindness, and I will definitely come to the door to express my gratitude in the next day."

Feng Ting was strongly invited, but Li Mu just politely declined, not giving the other party a chance at all.

He didn't want to present any heroes, once he stepped into a thousand armies, what would happen could not be controlled by himself.

He didn't even know what the other party's temperament was, so how could he dare to easily risk his life.

In case these demons were up to no good, wouldn't it be foolish to take the initiative to send themselves to the door.

Don't look at his current identity is also a demon, but after all, he grew up in the world of humans, and in his bones, he dislikes demons, this is a deep-rooted prejudice, and it is difficult to shift over in a moment.

Feng Ting saw that the other party never agreed, so she could only regretfully give up.

In a somewhat helpless tone, he asked, "Since Your Excellency is busy with his official duties, I won't force you, Your Excellency, you're new to this place, do you have any arrangements for the future?"

"Not yet, I will temporarily live in seclusion in the deep mountains, not asking about the mundane affairs of this realm, moreover, I will actively search for the exit singularity, and once I find it, I will immediately leave this place."

Li Mu's attitude is concise, equivalent to clearly tell the other party, I will not interfere in your disputes, you do not hit me, we live each other's lives, peace and quiet.

So far, his tone had been polite, and he wanted to use it to make it clear that I am not a threat to you, and you should not make an enemy of me.

Feng Ting was slightly disappointed, then recovered.

She smiled at Li Mu and said, "Since you have your own arrangements, we won't force you to do so, however, my daughter has an unkind request, can you listen to it?"

Li Mu responded without hesitation, "Since it's an ungrateful request, it's better not to say it, lest you and I will be in a difficult situation if we say it, and I hope that Miss Wind will forgive me."

Feng Ting froze, then smiled delicately and said, "Gongzi is very direct, good, then I won't say any more, Gongzi please rest, little lady will leave."

"I apologize for not seeing you off!"

After ordering Xiaobai to send the guests away, Li Mu smiled and asked, "Do you guys see the problem?"

He Xiaoyu said blankly, "What problem?"

"Big problem, does anyone see it?"

Lin Wan pouted, "Don't sell the story, you see what the problem is, you might as well say it explicitly."

Shen Xingyue puffed and said to Li Mu, "The problem Brother Mu is referring to is not about Feng Ting, right?"

"What does Star Moon see in the way?"

"There's something wrong with those two guards."

"What's wrong with the guards, why don't I see it?" He Xiaoyu asked in disbelief.

Li Mu answered for Shen Xingyue, "Maybe you've only focused on Feng Ting, Xiao Yu, those two are definitely not guards, if I'm not wrong, they must be big shots from the Wind Chess Kingdom."

He Xiaoyu came to a realization and said in surprise, "You mean they dressed up as guards?"

"Yes, I kept a secret eye on them, and realized that whether it was their mannerisms or their airs and graces, they were by no means a small person.

I'm not sure of their true identities, but I'm certain that they purposely dressed up as escorts and came here with the intention of observing us up close."

Lin Wan frowned and said, "So it seems that they take us very seriously and I'm sure they won't stop so easily... Hubby, what do you think Feng Ting's ungrateful request is?"

"What else could it be, it's nothing more than hoping that we'll submit to them and charge into battle for them, to put it nicely, for the sake of the great cause of the Demon Race, and to put it harshly, wanting to use us as cannon fodder."

The crowd unanimously agreed.

That should be the intention of the other side, and what they will do next after being rejected by our side, that's hard to say.

Li Mu immediately passed down the order, and the army continued to move towards the deep inside of the mountains, running as far away as possible.

He believes that the only place for them to live is in the backwoods, and that the only way to stay out of the minds of both countries is to stay away from each other.

This time, the people didn't dare to be negligent, putting out many sentries and scout horses, intercepting all the men and horses from the two countries who were on the lookout, and sending them away in a polite manner.

A few days later, they selected a camping site, which was high in the mountains and dense in the forests, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and was very suitable for the actions of the Goblins.

After Li Mu settled his men and horses, he sent Xiao Zi out to spy on the news, and accompanied a few women himself, traveling around.

Of course, they don't dare to go far, just move within their own control, and by the way, understand the terrain and landscape of this place, so that they can also do a good job.
