Chapter 130: Inside the Zhao army camp,
The lights were bright, and the atmosphere was tense. Xiao Wu was tied up and brought before Zhao Ming. His face was covered in blood and dirt, but his eyes still gleamed with an unyielding light.
"Tell me, who are you? Where are you from? Why are you attacking Qingxue City?" Zhao Ming's voice was cold as he looked at the young man in front of him who seemed ordinary but revealed extraordinary courage.
Xiao Wu sneered and replied in a deliberately vague manner: "Humph, you don't want to know our origins."
Zhao Ming's brow furrowed, clearly dissatisfied with Xiao Wu's response. He waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to take Xiao Wu away and keep him under strict guard. All the while, he wondered: Who are these people? What's their purpose?
At the same time, Mu Yunxi, along with Emperor Qing Zhao and her elite soldiers, had quietly approached Qingxue City. She was well aware of the dangers of this trip, but her curiosity and sense of responsibility kept driving her forward. She decided to observe secretly first, trying to find a breakthrough into Qingxue City. After quietly looking around the periphery of Qingxue City. In a hidden corner of Qingxue City, Mu Yunxi and the soldiers lay in ambush. She planned to sneak into Qingxue City with only a few people, and the others would go to Zhao Ming and tell him about their plans. The person who acted with her this time happened to be Jin Yubin, "I will take a few people to sneak in from the side of the unrepaired city wall, and you take the others to find General Zhao."
"No! It's too dangerous!" Kim Woo Bin replied without thinking.
"Listen to me, I'm going in first to find out the situation. If I haven't returned to General Zhao's camp by tomorrow night, you can feint an attack on Qingxue City. Or use torches or flaming arrows as signals. Once these happen, it means we've been discovered." Mu Yunxi said this and directly pointed to four people to follow her. When Jin Yubin saw her figure completely disappear, he cursed in a low voice: "Damn woman!"
Because it was quiet at night, the soldiers nearby heard him cursing. He coughed awkwardly twice, pretended nothing had happened, and told everyone to follow him. After arriving at Zhao Ming's camp, he met Zhao Ming and told him about Mu Yunxi's plan. Zhao Ming's face was full of disapproval: "I also sent people to try to sneak in, but they were discovered. This Lady Mu is a woman, isn't this ridiculous?"
"General Zhao, don't worry. Mu Yunxi is as cunning as a fox! Let's wait and see what news she can send out." Jin Yubin said, putting his arm around Zhao Ming's shoulder. Jin Yubin was quite familiar with Zhao Ming; both Zhao Ming and he were trained by his father.
Meanwhile, Mu Yunxi, using the cover of darkness and the terrain, quietly approached the unfinished wall on the East Sea side. Here, she also heard those unfamiliar and strange languages. A small group of people on the unfinished wall chattered in a language she couldn't understand, but the accents were very similar to the language of the countries on China's southwestern border. Through their firelight, she could also see clothing and weapons that were completely different from those of Zhao State. The moment she saw the weapons, Mu Yunxi's first reaction was "Trident!"
But at this moment they didn't know how to get in. Mu Yunxi had an idea and decided to take a risk. She called a few people to discuss: "Who of you can run faster?"
One of the soldiers raised his hand and said, "Your Excellency, my Qinggong skills are pretty good!"
Mu Yunxi nodded, looked at the people on the city wall and said, "Are you confident that you can lure them away and then escape back to the army camp?"
The man thought about it and nodded heavily: "Small one is fine!"
"Okay! You go and lead them away, and we will take the opportunity to go in. You don't have to come back, just go straight back to the camp!" Mu Yunxi said.
The man responded and was about to leave when Mu Yunxi called him softly, "What's your name?"
"My name is Zhang Zuyang!" Zhang Zuyang turned around and said.
"Okay! Go!" Mu Yunxi said as she saw Zhang Zuyang slip out and make a noise below the people on the city wall, deliberately letting them see him and run away. Soon, everyone on the city wall came down to chase him. There was another group behind this small group, while Mu Yunxi and the others hid behind a pile of sand. Seeing that Zhang Zuyang was deliberately taking these people away, Mu Yunxi felt relieved and led the other three into Qingxue City. Zhang Zuyang saw Mu Yunxi and the others enter from the corner of his eye, and then used light skills to escape from their sight.
They quietly sneaked into the enemy camp, trying to find someone to communicate with. After a while, they finally found a mysterious person who moved cautiously. He didn't look like someone from an unknown place. So, she tried to communicate with him in the language of Zhao State, and sent two of them to block the person's path from both sides. But in order not to scare the person, she made a slurring sound. Sure enough, the person heard the sound and looked in their direction cautiously. Seeing this, Mu Yunxi whispered, "Are you from Zhao State?"
The man heard the familiar language and ran towards Mu Yunxi without saying a word. Seeing that he was a little excited, Mu Yunxi put her index finger to her lips, motioning him to talk aside. Seeing this, the other three slowly caught up with them. The man was about to run away, but Mu Yunxi grabbed him and explained, "We are one of us!" The man stopped running.
After they arrived at a safe place, Mu Yunxi asked, "Are you a citizen of Qingxue City?"
The person nodded, and then her stomach growled. She said a little embarrassedly, "I haven't eaten in two days. I wanted to go out and find something to eat!" Mu Yunxi heard that she was still a girl, but she was so disheveled at this moment, with her hair and clothes messy and dirty. Mu Yunxi really didn't recognize her as a girl. Mu Yunxi was thinking, and then another gurgling sound was heard. Mu Yunxi no longer hesitated and took out a piece of cake from her bag: "It's a little hard, just eat it for now! After you finish eating, tell me about what happened in Qingxue City!"
The girl took the cake carefully, but did not eat it immediately. She asked, "You gave it to me, what do you want to eat?"
Hearing this, Mu Yunxi smiled and touched her head and said, "I'm not hungry, eat quickly!"
Seeing Mu Yunxi's sincere eyes, the girl no longer hesitated and began to eat the cake in small bites. Mu Yunxi saw that she was obviously very hungry, but she ate very elegantly, so she asked, "Whose family are you in this city?"
The girl nodded, swallowed the bread in her mouth, and then said, "My father is the magistrate of Qingxue City, Xing Jun." As soon as she said this, the girl burst into tears. She didn't cry out loud, but her voice was choked as she spoke. "My father and his men were imprisoned in the city's prison. Many people were also imprisoned there. Some were imprisoned in shops in front of the city gate. Some were killed. Some girls were taken away, and the people's food was stolen."
