?
But thinking about the terrain and layout of Fan Yi Kingdom, Nan Hua didn't feel too surprised.
This city was basically at the border of the valley, the passage before it crossed the somewhat narrow area. They couldn't go through the north due to the mountain range north from here, but once they crossed this city...
It was easy.
And when that happened, even if Fei Yang Kingdom wanted to divide the frontline into three, it was not impossible. It just depended on how they wanted to use their tactic later.
But for now, they were still trapped here.
Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua deeply. "Be careful."
"I'll go with her," Shan Yu said and stretched his hand. "My martial arts might not be the best, but I'm still familiar with the way."
Because it was the same way he used to get out of the city when he was young. The route has long been imprinted into his soul. No matter how many years have passed, Shan Yu could never forget those days in the slightest bit.
Yu Jin frowned and looked at her husband with worry.
"Once you're done, just met us in Traveling Doctor Liu's place," Shan Yu reassured Yu Jin.
"You better come back alive and well or I'll beat you up," Yu Jin said with threatening tone to Shan Yu.
Shan Yu quickly nodded in agreement.
Nan Hua nodded at Shan Yu. Even though she had no problem with reading the map, but having Shan Yu to lead the way was still better. Because there might be things unrecorded in
the map.
"In that case, let's discuss about tomorrow's attack. There are four generals and I'm sure we can attack the three walls and also the soldiers outside," Great General Wei said and then smiled. "They'll face a complete encirclement this time."
Yu Jin also grinned. "Hell yeah!"
Long Qian Xing nodded. It was time for Fan Yi Kingdom to give up their possession of this city. There was no point to continue holding on this city anyway.
With that, they continued their discussion until late at night and then went their separate ways.
The night passed by quietly.
When it was almost dawn, Nan Hua and Shan Yu sneaked out while the soldiers were not yet completely awake yet. The war would start soon and during this time, it was time for them to do their little missions.
Long Qian Xing and Yu Jin were also awake, but they went to prepare their soldiers instead. Attacking a bit earlier today didn't seem to be bad.
They didn't want to let Nan Hua and Shan Yu inside the enemy's territory for a long time.
Nan Hua and Shan Yu changed their dress and Shan Yu sighed. "For the first time, I feel that wearing all black is quite good."
In the past, Shan Yu would prefer to wear some kind of colorful robe. Those robes were not very eye catching, but it was definitely not as dark as a black robe. But now that they wanted to infiltrate the city, black robe was definitely the best choice.
"Which way should we go?" Nan Hua asked.
They have already reached the outer side of the wall but there was still some distance from the wall itself. The trees around them provided with enough cover to prevent those guards from noticing them.
"That one." Shan Yu pointed at one direction. "There's a loose stone there and a small cave below that's connected to a warehouse inside the city."
A loose stone?
Nan Hua passed a look at Shan Yu. "Are you sure it hadn't been found all these years?"
"No way." Shan Yu chuckled. "If you go there, you'll understand why."
Nan Hua nodded and then looked up at the guards. She calculated the time these guards sweep their gaze and their pace. Her own speed was fast enough, but she had to take into account Shan Yu's speed.
When she saw him turning his head, she waved her hand and dashed forward.
Shan Yu quickly followed behind Nan Hua and the two of them stopped by the rock that Shen Yu mentioned. He crouched down and pushed the rock to the side with difficulty. The rock seemed to be split from the middle, opening up a passage down and looking at the rock's shape, Nan Hua understood what Shan Yu meant.
This rock didn't seem to be that different from ordinary rock. And once they were inside, they could also pull the rock back into position because there was some part of the rock that extended below to use as the hold.
Without waiting anymore, the two of them jumped down the hole and Nan Hua used the hand held to close the hole once more.
"It's really dark." Shan Yu frowned.
He was not like Nan Hua who could see in the darkness. The moment the stone was closed, it was total darkness within this passage.
"Come on," Nan Hua said lightly and walked froward.
Shan Yu could only listen to Nan Hua's voice and thankfully, this passage was relatively straight. So once they determine the direction, it was easy to get out.
They reached the end and there was something similar to the handle in front of them. Nan Hua reached out and pushed it to the side before it was opening up. She jumped up and looked
around her.
Just like Shan Yu said, this was a warehouse. To be exact, this was material warehouse -containing stones, barrels, ores, and some others.
Everything was put around messily.
As for the entrance...
It was another rock unsurprisingly.
This kind of rock didn't seem to be out of place when it was put in this kind of messy
warehouse like this.
"Where do you want to go?"
Nan Hua glanced at Shan Yu who had come out of the passage. He closed the passage again
and pointed in one direction.
"Master said that they're in the xxxx no 2, so it's over there," Shan Yu replied.
"How did master know their location?"
