After letting Ye Tie leave, Ye Mingsheng did not return to the tent, but continued to stay by the campfire with his eyes closed. He felt a little cold all over, and only by staying by the campfire could he feel some warmth.

Three days had passed since receiving Xu Zhaojie's second military order. Under Ye Mingsheng's intentional control, the team's marching speed was maintained at around 40 to 50 miles a day. Finally, today, he led his troops into the territory of Huishan County, which was still about one or two days' journey away from the Huishan mountain area.

The past three days have been relatively peaceful. The scouts Ye Mingsheng sent out to the surrounding areas did not find any suspicious signs. Although everything seemed calm, Ye Mingsheng always felt that this was the last calm before the storm...
After passing Luwang Town, it is the Huishan Mountain area. The sinister plans arranged by his immediate superior, Xu Zhaojie, may appear at any time!
Just as Ye Mingsheng was deep in thought, he suddenly felt a familiar fragrance coming from beside him. Realizing who it was, Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised, but he still opened his eyes, looked at the person in front of him expressionlessly, and said lightly: "Miss Pei, what's the matter?"

Feeling Ye Mingsheng's cold tone, Pei Zhixiu bit her cherry lips lightly and whispered, "I found something and want to tell you..."

"What's the matter?" Seeing that Pei Zhixiu seemed a little abnormal, Ye Mingsheng asked back with some confusion. This was the first time the two of them were alone together since Pei Zhixiu said goodbye to him last time. Ye Mingsheng didn't understand what Pei Zhixiu meant by suddenly finding him.

"Is the team going to Luwang Town?" Pei Zhixiu did not answer Ye Mingsheng's question, but asked:
Seeing Pei Zhixiu asking this, Ye Mingsheng was even more confused, but he still nodded and said: "Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, we will be resting in Luwang Town at this time tomorrow!"

After saying that, Ye Mingsheng began to look at Pei Zhixiu's expression. Although Pei Zhixiu looked calm, Ye Mingsheng always had a feeling that she was trying hard to show all this, and she was actually very conflicted...

After keeping his head down and being silent for a while, Pei Zhixiu whispered, "Can we not go to... Luwang Town?"

"Why?" Ye Mingsheng's eyes narrowed and he asked in a deep voice:
Facing Ye Mingsheng's question, Pei Zhixiu fell silent again. After more than ten seconds, she spoke again: "I found that someone was quietly following us along the way."

Pei Zhixiu's words immediately perked up Ye Mingsheng. He looked at Pei Zhixiu with some doubt. Knowing that Xu Zhaojie was going to attack him, he was naturally willing to believe Pei Zhixiu.

But the key question is, how did Bae Ji-soo discover that someone was following her team?
You should know that during this period of time, Ye Mingsheng has been continuously sending out scouts from his team to explore the surroundings.

The news brought back by these professional imperial guards scouts showed nothing unusual. Even the professional scouts couldn't find anything unusual. How did a weak woman like you, Pei Zhixiu, find out?

Although Ye Mingsheng did not ask, the doubt in his eyes was evident. The smart Pei Zhixiu naturally saw it. She hesitated for a moment, and then as if she had made a great decision, she continued softly: "The people who followed the team have practiced ninjutsu, and they are very careful in their actions... My mother is from Dongdao, so I know a thing or two about ninjutsu..."

Hearing the word "ninjutsu" from Pei Zhixiu's mouth, Ye Mingsheng was shocked. After hearing Pei Zhixiu's explanation, his expression eased and he said to Pei Zhixiu in a gentle voice: "Thank you!" Pei Zhixiu shook his head and whispered: "You must pay attention to safety!"

After he finished speaking, Pei Zhixiu looked at Ye Mingsheng again, then turned and walked towards his tent.

Seeing Pei Zhixiu's slim and graceful back as she left, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. Then he stretched out his hand and waved. Ye Dong, who was standing by, immediately came over and asked, "Master, what do you want?"

Ye Mingsheng was about to give an order when he hesitated. After a moment, he sighed secretly, shook his head and said to Ye Dong: "Go back and rest!"

Ye Dong was a little confused by Ye Mingsheng's behavior, but he couldn't figure out what was going on. He could only bow to Ye Mingsheng with a confused look on his face, and then retreated back to his original position.

After Ye Dong left, Ye Mingsheng, who had recovered a little, stood up and walked back to his tent. Lying on the straw mat, Ye Mingsheng opened his eyes and kept thinking about every detail of Pei Zhixiu's words...

Although he didn't want to admit it, Ye Mingsheng's rationality clearly told him that Pei Zhixiu must have a problem! And it was definitely not a small problem!

Although Pei Zhixiu's words seemed self-consistent, her mother was from Dongdao, so she knew some ninjutsu.

But Ye Mingsheng is not an ignorant newbie. He used to be the personal guard of Prime Minister Shangguan Hongyuan. When he was in Zhaowu Camp, he and a group of young men were trained as future military officers of the Imperial Guard. He received lectures and training from the Imperial Guard instructors and the Ministry of War, and has seen the world.

He was well aware of the magic of ninjutsu, so when Pei Zhixiu said that the people who followed the team were not discovered by the scouts, it was because they had practiced ninjutsu, he believed it!

However, among the people of East Island, this ninjutsu is not something that ordinary people can access. It is the secret of all the major ninjutsu schools. So, Pei Zhixiu, how do you know a little about it?
In addition, Pei Zhixiu's reaction was also wrong. Normally, if you find someone following the team and plotting something bad, you will say it directly instead of asking yourself first if you can avoid going to Luwang Town. It can be clearly seen that Pei Zhixiu was conflicted and even a little resistant when she talked about the following things!
All these things made it hard for Ye Mingsheng not to have doubts in his heart...

Ninjutsu was passed down from East Island, Japan. Therefore, if what Pei Zhixiu said is correct, then the people following them these days should be the rumored Japanese ninjas, and the ninjas that appeared in the palace capital are most likely members of the Black Dragon Society!
When Ye Mingsheng thought of the organization "Black Dragon Society", a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.
