"If the breakthrough fails, what will the master do? has already been startled, and when he wants to break through on his own, it will be even more difficult. ”

The answer to the man was silent for a while, and then someone said: "After we go back, we will make a good calculation with our master, in short, no matter what, we will send him out of the city, and the future of Xiyue will all depend on him." ”

"Hmm!" Several people nodded heavily.

"Alright, it's time to withdraw."

"Let's go!"

As soon as the words fell, several people immediately turned around, jumped deeper into the alley, jumped up one after another in the corner where no one haunted, and rushed to a dilapidated deserted courtyard in the west of the city.

Although the courtyard is desolate, it is the only place where they can stay now, and there are few people wandering around the courtyard, which is the safest for them to flee for their lives.

After a cup of tea, the group rushed to their destination, where Helian Zheng was waiting for them to report the results of their investigation.

"Master, my subordinates have already reconnoitred, among the four city gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest, the defense of the south gate is the weakest, and it is the easiest to break through."

"South Gate ......" Helian Zheng lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his eyes and asked, "How sure are you?" ”

"I'm only 60% sure, but it's worth a try."

"Sixty percent ......" Helian Zheng lowered his head and fell into deep thought again, with extraordinary caution on his dark-skinned face.

Boom –

Suddenly, there was the sound of dead branches being trampled outside the small courtyard, which startled everyone in the courtyard to tense their nerves and look vigilantly at the gate of the ruined courtyard.

A beggar, dressed in rags, with messy hair and a dirty face, poked his head out timidly from behind the door, and behind his face covered with dark dirt was a pair of smart eyes that flashed with curiosity, and he was visibly surprised to find that there were so many people in the courtyard.

"Huh! So many people? Who are you? How did it end up here? ”

The little beggar was slightly stunned after asking, and suddenly remembered the recent rumors in the city about the assassination of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by the Six Princes of Xiyue, and after the failure of the Six Princes of Xiyue to assassinate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Nanyang City, it is very likely that they will flee to Ji'an and return to Xiyue from here.

Among these people, will there be Helian Zheng, the sixth prince of Xiyue? Looking at the figures, these individuals are strong and burly, obviously very similar to the people of the West Vietnamese. Looking at their clothes, they look like fugitives. In the blue sky, a group of people sneakily hid in such a remote place, and their movements were really suspicious......

After some analysis in his heart, the little beggar suddenly laughed twice, "Is this your territory?" My home has been taken over by someone else, and I'm looking for a new place to live, and if this is your territory, then I'll have to find another place. ”

After the little beggar finished speaking, he turned around and planned to rush to report to the official, but just a few steps away, a sudden "wait" suddenly came from behind him.

"Don't go yet!" Helian Zheng's adviser stopped him, and then turned his head to Helian Zheng on the side and whispered: "Sixth prince, we can't expose our traces now, that beggar ......"

The strategist made a gesture of silence, Helian Zheng glanced at the strategist, and then at the back of the little beggar, and the eagle-like eyes flashed with cruelty. "Hmm."

The strategist immediately looked at the shadow guard on the side, and the shadow guard received the instructions, quickly got up, and strode towards the little beggar. When the little beggar sensed his bad intentions and was about to run away, he dodged and approached the little beggar, and hit the little beggar by the neck with both hands, ending his life with one force.

The little beggar's body fell limply, and the shadow guard walked back.

The cruelty in Helian Zheng's eyes dissipated, and he said in a deep voice: "Just directly confronting the guards of the city gate, we can't bargain for anything, in my opinion, we might as well dig a tunnel near the city wall and dig directly outside the city." In the future, we can also use this tunnel to break through the iron wall of Ji'an City and open the gate of Tiansheng. ”

The strategist's eyes rolled, and he nodded heavily: "Well, this method works, so let's do it, the prince is really wise." ”

"Humph!" Helian Zheng smiled coldly, his eyes reflecting Sen Ran's anger. "This robbery, a total of 174 people from my Xiyue shadow guards, two accompanying officials, and 23 ordinary guards, sooner or later, one day, my Xiyue Iron Cavalry will set foot in Tiansheng, and the Gong father and son will wait for me!"

"The revenge of killing my brother in the palace night, I must get it back with my own hands!" Someone gritted their teeth in agreement, their fists clenched.

"One day, Tiansheng will cease to exist, and there is only Xiyue in this world!"

"When will you start digging tunnels?" Someone asked a question at the right time.

"Do it after dark! At night, the guards were slack, and the light was dim, so it was not easy to be noticed, so we hurried to the south gate to find a suitable place to start. ”

"You guys are too conspicuous, and it's easy to be recognized when you show up." The strategist said, "I'll go out and buy some food later, and when you're full, you can rest well and recharge your energy for your homework at night." ”

After a few people nodded, they dispersed, and randomly found a place against the wall to close their eyes and recuperate, waiting for the night to come.

Four hours later, night fell, and Helian Zheng and the others quickly rushed to the vicinity of the south gate under the cover of night.

Ji'an is located on the border, naturally not as prosperous as Yecheng, and now it is in a special period, at night, there are basically no pedestrians wandering in the market, and almost every door and window is closed, lest it be favored by the scheming Western Vietnamese fugitives and cause death.

Helian Zheng and the others rushed all the way to an alley near the south gate unimpeded, and it happened that a patrol army passed by, and several people hurriedly hid their figures in the dark.

"You all cheer me up, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, the Six Princes are very likely to escape from Ji'an, you must not let him slip away from under your noses, if anyone can find the traces of the Six Princes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will have a heavy reward in the future!"

The voice of the leader of the team came, and the faces of several people hiding in the alley sank.

When the patrol team went away, several people immediately came out of the shadows, slipped under the city wall far from the city gate, and after some careful investigation, began to work in the area where the soil was softer.

Time passed minute by minute, and after the patrols patrolling back and forth did not find the houses, the key criminals they were arresting were planning to dig tunnels and abscond, standing against the wall at the city gate, because a soldier who was so sleepy that he accidentally slept over, suddenly felt a strange sound in his ears, and the sound was like someone digging the city wall one by one, and at some point it would dig a hole in the thick city wall.

Isn't it true that the Six Princes are digging a wall somewhere, intending to escape from the city?

The soldier suddenly came to his senses, and ran energetically to report the situation to his superior, and in a short time, a group of men and horses followed the movement in the wall in the direction of Helian Zheng's group, and soon found a suspicious person.
