C45 Lead the Enemy

The letter led them around the back of the line to the other side. It turned out that there were already seven horses waiting under the tree outside the camp.

Due to the war that had just ended, they had to look for a bow after a long time in order to pretend to be the hunter required by the letter. Fortunately, most of the restaurants had not been forced to close by the war, so finding a place to eat dinner was relatively easy.

After the meal, Zhan Xin left the restaurant alone, while the six of them were ordered to wait for him in the restaurant.

When he came back, he had a big bundle slung over his shoulder. With a glance, he could tell that there were a lot of things inside. Then he led them up the mountain between White Stone and Tiger's Fury.

They climbed up the mountain in the middle of the night and travelled down the mountain without rest. Even though everyone was dissatisfied, no one dared to complain — who would be willing to face the captain of the guard, who seemed to be having a difficult time getting along with him?

When they went down the mountain, Yun Shu didn't see what was beneath her feet and almost stepped on a rock, causing her to almost slide down the mountain. Luckily, Yang Siyuan and Kunyi who were by her side managed to react in time to pull her back.

She felt a lingering fear and pinched her wrist, saying, "Thanks a lot." However, before Yang Siyuan and Kunyi could open their mouths, Zhan Jiuxin who was walking in front sneered, "Back up, you'd better take the torch and leave. If the matter of finding the general breaks, you can go back and receive punishment."

Yun Shu was stunned for a moment. Even though Zhan Yi's words were extremely rude, it was clear that he was not targeting her like he was during the day.

She took the torch and led the way forward a moment later, when the letter stopped her. The terrain here was much smoother compared to the roads they had taken down the mountain, and the weeds and trees were also relatively lush. It was definitely a good place to hide.

Of course, it was also very suitable to set up some traps. Furthermore, the west gate was already filled with the anger of tigers and tigers.

Since the west gate had the mountain as a natural barrier, the soldiers guarding the gate were usually arranged in small groups. Each round, there would be around twenty people, which was the result of the daily observation of the exhibition letter.

However, how could they have come up this mountain just to observe this? He already told them that he was doing a special task, how could he possibly do it so easily …

Three days later, in the evening, they finished digging the hole and underground tunnel at the location previously specified by Zhan Xin. The group worked day and night as they followed the tree trunk and sat down like dead dogs. The surrounding weeds were intimately stuck together with the soil because of their constant trampling.

Once again, he took out some dried food and water from his large bag and threw it at them. When Yun Zhui looked inside the big bag, she saw that there were countless of them … The arrow emerged from within.

When the letter dropped the dry food and water beside her, she naturally noticed the look in her eyes as she stared at the package.

"What's there to look at? Eat something." The tone of the Guard Captain Zhan was as cold as ever. However, he wouldn't sneer before speaking for the next two days.

Yun Shu: "I just want to know what other unexpected things that bundle can come up with." Three days ago, Zhan Xin ordered them to dig here after stopping at the mountainside. Someone asked him how to do it since he had no tools.

As a result, the Guard Captain immediately took out a shovel with seven handles from his backpack. The six players who were watching with their eyes opened wide in shock.

Halfway through the excavation, he came upon another boulder, and the captain of the guard took out some chisels and hammers from his bundle.

Later, a snake as thick as a baby's forearm was startled when he was digging a tunnel, and Zhan Xin took out the yellow and scattered it around from his bundle. Finally, they saw the snake being taken away by him and turned into a serpent soup.

It often occurred to her that the contents of that large bundle might be enough to deal with all the unexpected situations.

Zhan Xin gulped down the rations and continued, "That's nothing. When I was traveling with the general in the Western countries, I brought more complete items with me, because some countries have brown bears that are taller than a human. Some countries have water monsters in their waters, and when they pass the desert, they might get lost and starve to death or get blown away by a tornado."

He opened the water bag and gulped down a few mouthfuls of water. "Let's grab some time to rest first. I'll wake you guys up at midnight."

Although it was easy to hide, one could see it in a tent, so these days they would sleep in the mud and the winter clothes they had brought with them would be spread out on a mat. Often they would rest more during the hotter days and sleep less during the night.

Firstly, he could prevent the disease from invading his body, and secondly, he wanted them to get used to moving at night. Afterwards, it would be more convenient for them to act.

Because she was worried about the events of the night, Yun Shu was not able to sleep soundly. Memories of her childhood would occasionally intrude into her dreams, making the already illogical dreams even more chaotic until the person in the dreams turned around … It was a blurry, featureless face. She let out a little cry and opened her eyes.

The letter, which was leaning against the tree trunk and looking at the night sky, followed her movements and tilted its head. Seeing that she was only waking up from her dream, it turned its head and continued to stare at the night sky.

Yun Zhui looked down from the trees to her left and right. Fortunately, the sleeping people hadn't woken up because of some unintentional activity. She couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and raise her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead and neck.

Now that she was no longer sleepy, she got up and walked over to Zhan Xin's side. Together with him, she looked at the night sky and asked in a low voice, "What is Chief Guard Zhan looking at?"

Zhan Xin's lips curved up in a happy smile. "The wind that blew in this area for the past two days was the same tonight. It seems that the heavens are helping us. The general will definitely be safe."

Yun Shu didn't know what to say. It was too early to assert it, but it was even more inappropriate to say that they would splash cold water on Zhan Xin. In the end, she patted him on the shoulder.

Zhan Jiuxin: "Thank you."

The plan was to lure the guard at the gate up the mountainside and let him slip into the trap and slide down the tunnel. When they had reached the tunnel entrance, their men would knock the man who had just fallen off the cliff unconscious before he could react, change into the soldier's clothes, and slip into the city with the flying claw they had prepared for the letter.

As for the real soldiers, they would be tied up by Yang Siyuan and Luo Zijie, who had the worst results out of the five winners of the selection competition. The remaining two were also in charge of supporting the troops outside the city.

When midnight arrived, she and Zhan Jiuchen woke up the five of them.

The letter opened the bundle once more and took out the quiver of arrows. However, the arrowhead was not a sharp blade, instead, it was covered in layers and layers of white cloth. While they were still puzzled, Zhan Xin took out a few sealed porcelain bottles and handed them over. "This bottle contains kerosene. First, wet the white cloth on the tip of the arrow with kerosene." As he spoke, he removed the stopper from the bottle and poured the oil onto the white cloth.

Yun Shu and the rest followed suit. After all the arrowheads had been soaked in fire oil, Zhan Xin finally lit a fire beside the trap he had dug. "Everyone knows what they should do, right? "After shooting the arrows, you must hurry to the place where you are supposed to be. The soldiers of the city gates will soon follow the flames to find you."

Everyone nodded their heads to express their understanding.

The flaming arrowheads were heavier than the arrows they usually used. No wonder Yan Xu had her choose people with excellent eyesight to carry out this task. She probably thought of this method at that time.

Yun Shu adjusted the arrows in her hands several times before making sure that they did not miss. After the first batch of arrows that carried a spark around flew out, the soldiers on the city gate started to panic. They continued to shoot out a second batch, a third batch … The wind from the west sent their arrows far enough away. Some of the arrows passed through the torches on the city walls to light the torches, causing a lot of panic as they dropped the torches onto the ground.

A short while later, soldiers descended from the city walls. A moment later, the west gate of Tiger's Fury was finally opened for them.

"Everyone, get ready!" Zhan Xin roared as he grabbed the remaining arrows and hid behind a tree.

The others packed up their stuff and stood in their own seats, quietly waiting for the soldiers to arrive.

Under the silent night, all that could be seen was the fire and the shadows of the countless trees on the small empty ground not far ahead that had been gradually shrinking due to the lack of firewood. The only sounds that could be heard were the sizzling of the branches being burned and the slight rustling of the leaves as the wind blew past them.

But not long after, there were a few messy footsteps approaching. Yun Shu was standing in front of a big tree that could block out a person, she tilted her head and looked towards the source of the sound, only to discover that the footsteps came from two soldiers carrying sabers a hundred meters in front of her, and Zhan Chen was hiding behind the tree next to them.

Yun Shu hid behind the tree as she had planned and began drawing her bow. When the arrow was released, it flew directly to one of the soldiers on the other side and struck him in the head. The one who was attacked immediately turned his gaze to her side.

When Yun Shu had released the arrow, she had also carefully hidden herself. As a result, the two of them did not know where she had hidden, and only knew that the arrow had come from this direction.

Thus, the two men followed the direction of the arrow and flew over. However, just as they were about to reach the trap covered in weeds, the soldier who was hit by the arrow suddenly stopped and held onto the person beside him. "How can one person shoot so many arrows at the same time? This place might …"

Hearing these words, Yun Shu's intuition was not good. She immediately shot another arrow, and this time, her entire body walked out from behind the tree trunk.
