Gu Xi entered Poison Peach Mountain and immediately met Siliya.
"My lord."
"How are things?"
Siliya's previously enlarged head had only let Gu Xi know that something had happened at Poison Peach Mountain.
He had not known what exactly had happened. Kru could only tell Gu Xi that someone had ambushed him, but he had no way to find out the details.
Now, Siliya had the most information instead.
"Two troops were lying in ambush near Poison Peach Mountain, waiting for him to leave.
"Because they were stationed fifty li away, we did not pay much attention at first.
"He reacted quickly as well. Before he had even gone fifty li, he noticed something was wrong and immediately fled back. Those two troops pursued him into our territory and were discovered by our side."
"Wait."
Gu Xi directly interrupted Siliya.
"I remember Brother Kru only left a few minutes ago. How did he cause such a huge incident already? That's fifty li."
Kru said somewhat awkwardly, "Well, I wanted to get to the excavation site quickly, so I actually have an extremely fast means of movement.
"Of course, it isn't very easy to use. It can only be used for short-distance travel, not long-distance travel."
Kru explained quietly.
"How many enemies are there?"
Gu Xi ignored Kru and asked directly.
"Altogether, there were no more than five thousand. They have already withdrawn beyond the fifty-li range."
"Have Poison Bone wipe them out. Also, have Poison Bone clear out the surrounding area."
Gu Xi gave the order decisively, then turned to Kru.
"Wait before leaving again. We'll clear out some of the nearby enemies first."
Kru had truly been frightened this time.
He had never expected so many enemies to be waiting
