The Forbidden Demon Valley is located 800 miles northwest of the capital and only 100 miles away from Julu Pass. It is precisely because the Forbidden Demon Valley serves as a barrier that if you want to attack Dayong Capital, you have to bypass the Forbidden Demon Valley and use Julu Pass as a breakthrough.

In the Forbidden Demon Valley, the terrain is complex and the environment is different.

In the southeast, there is a vast desert with the scorching sun that can make people dry into dried meat, but to the north of the Forbidden Demon Valley there is a snowy sky and snow, with the cold wind whistling all year round. In the south, there are vast tropical forests with mountains and hills.

At this time, at the desert entrance of the Forbidden Demon Valley, a group of more than ten people set up tents.

Walking further inside here is the area of ​​the Forbidden Demon Valley, and few people come here usually.

Ye Jun lay half on a stone, looking at the six directions, his eyes swept across the desert and showed surprise.

This desert is actually different from an ordinary desert. The sand here is not yellow sand, but a bunch of red gravel. It looks like the whole desert is burning.

It is said that Emperor Yongding once killed a peerless monster here. The blood of the monsters scattered on the ground, dyeing the sand and gravel red. Because it was stained with the blood of the ferocious beasts, vegetation could not grow in the desert, and even poisonous insects, snakes and ants could not survive.

Ye Jun grabbed a handful of sand, sensed it slightly, and couldn't help but sneer.

It’s all bluffing. There is no bloody smell in these sands, but it has a smell of realgar. Could it be that realgar can drive away poisonous insects, snakes and ants here?

The group of people not far away were all guards, and they were ordered by Ye Jun to come here with an imperial edict.

However, these guards obviously did not take Emperor Ye Jun seriously. The group was playing and making fun in the sand, drinking water and sitting quietly.

After playing for a while, the group sat together and whispered: "Can we really follow the emperor to make trouble? Enter the Forbidden Demon Valley to die?"

"I don't know which bastard mentioned the Forbidden Demon Valley to the Emperor, which made us run to this ghost place. Anyway, I won't go in."

"I don't go in either. If the emperor really wants to go in, then let him go in by himself. I won't accompany him to die!"

Those who can serve as guards in the palace are not ordinary people. Most of them are descendants of meritorious nobles. They are okay to eat and drink in the capital. It’s not a joke to run to this ghost place to fight for their lives.

These people are very proud of their lives.

"If you want me to tell me, why don't we get some medicine for the emperor tonight and take him back quietly. Anyway, what can he understand if a fool is a little bitch?"

"Brother Chen, you didn't say anything all night, just give me some advice!"

Everyone's eyes turned to the young man sitting in the middle.

This person's name is Ye Xingchen. He is only in his twenties, but he is mature and persistent. In addition, he also has royal blood, so he is the leader among the guards.

Ye Xingchen opened his eyes slightly and said expressionlessly: "We are the emperor's guards. Since the emperor wants to enter the Forbidden Demon Valley, we will accompany him for a while."

After a pause, Ye Xingchen continued, "But the safety of the emperor is the most important thing. You cannot go deep in the Forbidden Demon Valley. There are only some wild beasts flowing with low-level demon blood in the desert outside. It is not worth worrying. Let's accompany the emperor to take a walk and kill a few wild beasts with demon blood. Even if we complete the task."

Everyone was very convinced by Ye Xingchen and said, "Brother Chen is right."

"Brother Chen is the great master of Wu Ji, and killing some low-level monsters is not a problem. This time, with Brother Chen, we might be able to get a few more monsters to taste!"

Everyone seemed to have a backbone and let go of their worries.

Ye Jun lay far away on the stone, turning a blind eye to these things, and the atmosphere was very quiet, as if it was the dead silence before the storm came.

The night wind blew, suffocating the bonfire.

Ao, ao, ao

In the distance, there was a shrill sound of foxes and wolves, like wild beasts roaring in the moon, sad and heart-wrenching.

"What is that?"

A hint of panic flashed through the guards. Seeing Ye Xingchen suddenly stood up, the others also stood up.

"There are enemies!"

Under the moonlight, a black shadow rode his horse and rushed over. Behind the team, the red gravel was trampled into the air, forming like a piece of red yarn under the moonlight.

"It's a sand bandit, protect the emperor!" Ye Xingchen recognized the other party's origin, his expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly said.

"Sand bandit? Is it the sand bandit who robbed the business trip in the desert and killed people in the wild?"

"In order to rob the past business trip, wasn't the old nest in the red sandy land near the edge of Julu Pass? How could he come here?"

Ye Jun stood up and saw the sound of figures in the distance, and the sound of hooves sounded. On the sand dunes in the distance, figures surged over like a tide, with murderous auras.

He focused his energy on his eyes and saw the people rushing over like a tide. They were all sand bandits wearing scales, riding camels, holding huge scimitars, carrying bows and arrows, surrounded by hundreds and thousands of people from all directions.

Those camels were all white-haired and ran like flying. They were the "white dragon camels" in the desert. They were comparable to a thousand-mile horse. Their explosive power and speed were extremely fast. People rode on camels, as if they were sailing on the wind.

"Is this the legendary sand bandit?"

When Ye Jun was inquiring about the information about the Forbidden Demon Valley, he also learned about the origin of the sand bandits.

The so-called sand bandits are actually a group of border robbers who rely on business trips who plundered and entered the pass.

Once upon a time, both the Da Yong Kingdom and the surrounding Da Xian Kingdom, the Da Yan Kingdom sent troops to encircle and suppress the sand bandits. However, these sand bandits were sloppy and ran away when they found out that they could not be defeated. Moreover, in order to avoid the encirclement of the army, they set up their base camp in the desert of the Forbidden Demon Valley. In this way, the imperial army could not go deeper and could do nothing to them.

According to past experience, the sand bandits were robbing outside the pass and would never run into the pass. But why did they suddenly appear here now?

Could it be for him, the emperor?

Not only Ye Jun thinks so, Ye Xingchen also thinks so. Apart from that, he really can't imagine other possibilities.

"A traitor appeared in the court!" Ye Xingchen secretly hated in his heart.

In addition to their group, only some high-ranking ministers in the court knew about Ye Jun's visit to the Forbidden Demon Valley. As soon as they arrived at the Forbidden Demon Valley, the sand bandits arrived. How could it be that coincidental? It must be that the ministers in the court saw that the Da Yong Kingdom was crumbling and in danger. It was difficult to persevere under the siege of the Three Kingdoms, and planned to prepare for a retreat in advance, so they secretly colluded with the Sha Bandits, killed the emperor, and added fire to the crumbling Da Yong Kingdom, and could also be regarded as a letter of fame.

However, this is not the time to think about this. Even if you want to investigate the traitors, you have to finish the war.

"Design the formation, shield, protect the emperor!" Ye Xingchen shouted.

However, these guards have never seen blood and have never been on the battlefield. The more the sound of horse hooves, the more panicked they are. How can they remember to set up a formation? They all have shields in their left hand and knives in their right hand, intending to do it alone!
