Whenever she was in Liyue, she would often wander around the Stonehenge, gazing into its deepest darkness.
Her connection with the Abyss dates back hundreds of years.
She comes from an ancient family whose ancestors once fought against a great disaster here.
That battle was far more tragic than the story told by the storyteller.
All people knew was that the Thousand Rocks Army fought hard to hold the front line at the Rock Abyss, but few knew how many young lives were lost in that battle.
Even the immortals and yakshas ended up dying.
After the fierce battle, there were only a few survivors. Two of her ancestors who participated in the battle, one died and the other went crazy, casting a shadow over her family.
Before Ye Lan knew this old story, she often went to the Layered Abyss.
So, she knew better than anyone how terrible this place was.
As for whether she is afraid or not
She had thought about this, too.
Maybe if she went back to that era, she wouldn't perform any better than her ancestors
But even if she can't go back, in today's Liyue, she will follow the same path as her ancestors.
Because she is the descendant of a hero, she will also become a hero for future generations.
Looking at Ye Lan's serious expression, Bai Luo could only respond with a slightly helpless smile.
He didn't want to come here so soon. Maybe he could have more fun on the way here with Ye Lan.
Unfortunately, there was a powerful guy in Liyue waiting for him. If he didn't come over quickly, he would most likely become someone else's entertainment.
He had to come.
"Ms. Ye Lan, please tell me your plan first."
He should first listen to the other party's plan, and then make his own plan based on the other party's plan.
As for things that make the other person unhappy
Just coax her.
Girls are meant to be angered, and then coaxed after being angered. That's life.
"The core of the plan is still you."
Glancing at Bai Luo, Ye Lan spoke out.
The entire area has been cleared by her men, which means... there is no way there could be any outsiders.
So she began to explain her plan with confidence.
"According to my investigation, the instructor is still in Daochenglin and has not returned yet, so tomorrow I will disguise you as the instructor again and try to gain the trust of the caravan before night falls.
As for us... Wen Yuan will lead people to go around the flank and pick you up without alerting the Fatui. If you find something wrong, run to the sides and he will pick you up."
After spreading out the map, Ye Lan pointed at the mark on it and said.
She was already very familiar with this place, and her subordinates had also calculated the speed of the Fatui caravan during this period. It could be said that she had the entire situation under perfect control.
Except for the Bai Luo bug.
"What if the instructor comes back?"
After seeing that Ye Lan had almost finished the arrangements, Bai Luo asked.
Although Ye Lan seemed to be always being teased by him, he never underestimated this woman.
Everything was arranged too smoothly, which gave him an illusion.
Could it be that Ye Lan had already noticed his situation and paralyzed him in this way, so that he would eventually be tricked by the other party
"Don't worry, I have already considered this matter, so before I set off, I asked Wu Pei to take people to Daochenglin."
Ye Lan pointed in the direction of Daochenglin on the map and spoke out.
She had made a lot of arrangements for this plan, so how could she allow any mistakes to happen
She had calculated all possible unexpected events and made adequate preparations.
"Dao Chenglin, what are they doing over there?"
Because he had intelligence about both the Fatui and Ye Lan, Bai Luo knew better than anyone that Dao Chenglin had no backup plan at all and going there would be fruitless.
Or... ... Ye Lan has other plans
"According to the intelligence I have, the instructor has been in Daochenglin recently. I sent Wu Pei there just for the instructor there."
Ye Lan said with great certainty.
Before the Fatui caravan entered Liyue, she sent people to follow them from a distance.
There was a small detail that caught Ye Lan's attention.
When they were about to enter Liyue, the Fatui caravan suddenly stopped, and a debt collector left the team and no one knew where he went.
After that, the caravan hoisted the instructor’s flag.
Where did the debt collector go and what did he do
For fear of being discovered, Ye Lan's men did not get too close.
After the Fatui caravan left, they quietly followed the traces left by the debt collectors and found a rainforest, where they discovered traces of a battle.
Her men recorded all those traces with a video camera.
After careful observation, she realized that this battle was not that simple.
First of all, the two people's fighting methods are almost exactly the same.
More importantly, although there was blood at the scene, the amount of bleeding was not large. It could even be said that it was just a simple scratch and did not hit any vital parts.
What she did after she separated from Battousai was to recreate the scene simply based on the images on the camera.
After reappearing, she realized one thing.
The battle that took place there was not a fight to the death or a competition, but a test.
That's right, there had been two people fighting there before, using the same method, and the stronger one was obviously testing the weaker one.
That way, it all makes sense.
The people who were testing there were definitely debt handlers and instructors.
This is also one of the reasons why she is sure that the instructor is in Daochenglin.
Chapter 571 Do you want me to accompany you
As Liyue’s biggest intelligence chief, Ye Lan knows a lot of things that others don’t know.
For example, his title of Twelfth Executive Officer of the Fatui was a continuation of his previous position.
That is, the debt handler’s instructor.
During the follow-up, Ye Lan's people also noticed that the debt collector who had disappeared for a while had a lot of wounds on his body.
So... ...everything is clear now.
When they were about to enter Liyue, the instructor must have come into contact with the caravan and ordered them to temporarily replace the caravan's flag with his.
Afterwards, without alerting anyone, he signaled the leading debt handler to go to the nearby rainforest to test his strength.
Why test
It is related to the identity of this debt handler.
If her information was correct, this debt handler was one of the first people to be guided by the instructor, and was also the highest-ranking inspector general among the debt handlers.
He hadn't met his old subordinate for a long time, so it didn't seem strange to give him some guidance.
In fact, she also thought that the person who fought against the debt handler might be Cole who was also in Daochenglin.
But she quickly dismissed this idea.
Having fought side by side with him before, she knew very well how strong Cole was.
Even though her strength was far beyond that of ordinary Fatui elites, this debt-handling Inspector General was already at the level of a small boss. If both sides went all out, Cole would not be his opponent at all.
What's more, what if it hurts him
Most importantly, before the Fatui caravan entered Daocheng Forest, she had sent people to notify the forest rangers there through special channels.
Given the character of the forest ranger, if he knew that the Fatui had entered Daocheng Forest, he would definitely not let Cole get involved.
Then the possibility of her appearing there would approach zero infinitely.
In short, this was the conclusion she came to after combining the intelligence she had.
"If what you said is true, and the instructor is indeed in Daocheng Forest, can Wu Pei and the others stop him?"
After listening to Ye Lan's analysis, Bai Luo's face was full of admiration.
If he wasn't the instructor, he might have actually believed Ye Lan's analysis.
But at the same time, he also had another problem.
Can Wu Pei stop the instructor
Wenyuan, Shanghua, and Wupei.
These three people are the ones Ye Lan trusts the most.
Compared with the first two, Bai Luo is more familiar with Wu Pei and knows his situation.
Among ordinary people, he can indeed be considered a master, but facing the instructor, he is not good enough, right
"Wu Pei and his men's job is to disguise themselves as the Gilded Brigade and prevent the instructor from passing through Daocheng Forest and returning to the caravan. In a nutshell... their safety depends entirely on whether you can quickly complete the task I assign to you."
Just like she said.
If Bai Luo can get the things from the Fatui caravan as soon as possible, Wu Pei and the others will be in less danger.
But both Ye Lan and Bai Luo overlooked one thing.
Disguised as the Gilded Brigade in Dosung Forest?! Aren’t they tired of living like this
Now everyone in the whole Xumi knows that there is a scary guy in Daochenglin who specializes in catching people by the waist.
According to statistics from some people in the Ministry of Education, the majority of those who were beaten were from the Gilded Brigade.
Pray for them.
After briefly arranging everyone's tasks, everyone except the sentinels went to bed early.
This is also the rule that Ye Lan set for his subordinates.
In order to ensure that her plan could run smoothly, she did not allow her subordinates to work at less than their best.
The campfire was still burning, and snoring sounds could be heard from the camp.
The bright moonlight sprinkled on the rocky abyss, making the towering mountains look like monsters with bared fangs and claws in the night, which was very scary.
Occasionally, strange noises could be heard from the abyss.
"Aren't you going to bed?"
Looking at Ye Lan who was still sitting by the campfire, studying something on a map, Bai Luo asked.
He needed to contact the Fatui caravan the next night, and there was nothing to do the whole day tomorrow, so he volunteered to take on the night watch job.
But Ye Lan has a lot of things to do tomorrow and can't stay up late.
"Well, I want to go over the plan again to see if there are any loopholes."
Looking at Bai Luo holding the reverse-blade knife in his arms, Ye Lan felt a sense of security for no reason.
In fact, she said this just to fool Bai Luo, because she always felt that something seemed to be wrong with the plan, but no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't find out what was wrong.
But she didn't want to affect Battousai's condition, so she dealt with it in this way.
"Would you like me to accompany you for a while?"
Adding more firewood to the campfire again, Bai Luo asked.
The color of the bonfire made the mask on his face red, and the atmosphere became a little ambiguous because of his words.
