Since Zhang Li and the others left, Lin Haotian has been sitting in the tent waiting for news, and unconsciously, the sky is slowly rising white.

At this time, a guard ran into the tent quickly, knelt on the ground to salute, and arched his hand and said, "Report to your lord, General Shao is back!"

"Oh?" Lin Haotian's eyes lit up, and he waved his hand and said, "Let them come in!"

"Yes, my lord!" the guard turned and ran out, and after a short time, Shao Lin, Zhang Li, and two demon warriors walked in from outside.

Seeing them, Lin Haotian couldn't wait to ask, "How is the investigation? Is the waterway really leading to the royal palace of You Kingdom?"

Shao Lin raised his head to the two of his subordinates, signaling to the two of them but saying that it was okay.

One of the Demon Martial Artists arched his hand and said, "Lord Hui, the waterway is true, and it can indeed lead to the royal palace of You Kingdom, but it is just ...... The environment in the waterway is very ......"

The Demon Martial Artist didn't say anything, Lin Haotian didn't feel anything yet, as soon as he finished speaking, the latter immediately smelled a foul smell and hit him. He subconsciously frowned, waved his hand, and said, "You two will go back to take a shower first, change into clean clothes, and then come to see me." ”

"Yes, my lord!" the two demonic warriors replied and left.

At this time, Shao Lin asked Lin Haotian, "My lord, how do you plan to deploy next?"

Lin Haotian tapped his forehead lightly and muttered: "Since we have this secret waterway, it is not difficult for our army to send a small group of elites to infiltrate the palace, the key is how to make this small group of elites be able to control Nie Xing immediately after entering the palace!"

Speaking of this, he raised his head and looked at Zhang Li again, and asked, "Miss Zhang, do you know the strength of the defenders in the palace?"

Zhang Li smiled, replied fluently, and said: "The number of defenders in the palace is about 20,000, and the rotation system is adopted. In other words, no matter what time it is, the defenders of the palace will not be less than 10,000 people, and there is no shortage of outstanding underworld warriors, especially around adults, any personal guard is a first-class underworld martial artist!"

Lin Haotian was thoughtful. There are more than 10,000 defenders in the palace, and there are a large number of underworld warriors, and it is not easy for his side to control Nie Xing! He asked again, "How many people do we send to pass through the waterway safely?"

Zhang Li restrained her smile, showed a positive color, and said, "Within a hundred!"

Lin Haotian was shocked, and asked, "Only a hundred people can be dispatched?"

Zhang Li nodded and said, "I have already explained to the adults that the waterway is narrow. It's not easy to pass, even if it climbs out of a hundred people, it will take a long time, if there are more people, the delay is too long, the people who come out first have nowhere to hide, and it is easy to be discovered by the guards patrolling by!"

Well, that's a problem! Lin Haotian stood up. With his hands behind his back, he began to wander back and forth in the big tent again. His brain was running at a rapid pace as he walked. Considering how many chances he had to successfully subdue Nie Xing by infiltrating the palace of 100 people.

He pondered for a long time, but he couldn't think of a safe way, and finally his mind moved, rather than staying in the tent and pondering, it was better to go by himself. Do a site visit and then think about what to do.

Thinking of this, he said: "Tomorrow, you will take Ben Shuai to walk the waterway again!"

When everyone present heard this, they were shocked. Even Zhang Li was startled and asked in disbelief, "Your Excellency wants to go in person?"

"Yes!" Lin Haotian said leisurely: "The brother of the demon martial arts can go, and Ben Shuai is naturally not a problem, tomorrow, you can lead the way for me!"

"My lord, this is too dangerous!" Shao Lin said urgently.

"Wealth is in danger!" Lin Haotian said confidently and calmly: "How much risk I take today, tomorrow, I will repay accordingly!" Speaking of this, he waved his hand and said, "No need to persuade again, it's so decided!" You can arrange a few demon martial arts brothers to accompany me!"

Lin Haotian has an arbitrary style of doing things, and few people can change what he decides.

Shao Lin was helpless, so he had to answer hard.

To make a long story short, during the day, Lin Haotian calmed down and rested in the sleeping tent, and slept until night, he didn't get up, and after freshening up, he asked Shao Lin and Zhang Li to ask him when he was the right time to leave.

Shao Lin and Zhang Li had already been to the waterway once, and although they had not entered, they had somewhat learned about the surrounding environment. He said, "My lord, the entrance to the waterway is in the moat, which is under the surveillance of the defenders, and if you want to approach it, you will have to wait until the second half of the night when the defenders relax their vigilance. ”

"En!" Lin Haotian shrugged his shoulders noncommittally and said, "Then let's talk about the situation inside the waterway now, and I should know it first." ”

Zhang Li was also worried about Lin Haotian's safety, and she explained the situation inside the waterway to Lin Haotian in detail, hoping to help him. The latter nodded as he listened, keeping in mind the situation described by Zhang Li.

There was nothing to say in the middle of the night, and when it was ugly in the second half of the night, Lin Haotian, Shao Lin, Zhang Li and the four demon warriors wore civilian clothes and quietly left the coalition camp and infiltrated the outer city of Huaiyang.

Lin Haotian, Shao Lin and the Demon Warrior's Martial Arts Needless to say, as Demon Warriors, after nightfall, it is their world, and their body shape is not restricted, and they can be used at will. Zhang Li is just a woman, but her martial arts are not simple, and her body is also flexible, and she walks with Lin Haotian and others, and she does not seem to be dragged down at all.

Like ghosts in the night, they walked through the outer city and came to the vicinity of the moat. Within twenty meters of the moat, it is a completely open area, without any buildings, empty, at a glance, Lin Haotian and the others want to pass through this open area very easily, just use the wind to flash over, Lin Haotian is worried about Zhang Li, I don't know what method she has to use to get close to the moat.

Zhang Li is familiar with the road, she naturally has her own way. Hiding behind a house closer to the moat, she unhurriedly unwrapped the package she was carrying diagonally, put it on the ground, opened it with skillful movements, and then looked up and asked, "Wait a minute, which of you will accompany you into the waterway?"

Shao Lin took the lead and said, "I'll go!"

Zhang Li glanced at him strangely and asked rhetorically, "Didn't General Shao say that he didn't know water?"

Shao Lin glanced at Lin Haotian and said, "But I will still hold my breath, not to mention, adults don't know water." "If it's the brother below who enters. It doesn't matter if Shao Lin is waiting outside, now that Lin Haotian wants to go in person, how dare he not be around.

Lin Haotian can't water?!Zhang Li looked at Lin Haotian in surprise.

The latter smiled and said, "As Shao Lin said, it's okay not to know water, as long as you can hold your breath." ”

Zhang Li shook her head with a wry smile. Then he asked the other four, "Do you all four want to enter together?"

Without waiting for them to answer, Shao Lin said: "Liu Yang and Li Yao come in, Yan Li and Ding Yong stay outside!"

Zhang Li had no objection to his arrangement, lowered her head, took out four packaged oil papers from the package, and handed them to Lin Haotian and Shao Lin.

Lin Haotian was puzzled and asked, "What is this?"

"When you enter the waterway, the adults will know!" As she spoke, she took out another cloak from her package. Quickly draped over your body.

Lin Haotian looked up and down curiously, the cloak was very ordinary, but it looked a little fat, and Zhang Li, who was not very petite, was wrapped tightly, and the most out of place was that the color of the cloak was too earthy, it was a real earth color, and there were traces on it.

After watching. Lin Haotian suddenly realized that she was going to use a cloak as a disguise. Approaching the moat under the noses of the defenders.

Lin Haotian nodded secretly, and praised her in her heart! In this era, you can think of the art of disguise, and Zhang Li is also a strange woman. He took the oiled paper bag that Zhang Li gave him into his arms and asked, "When are we leaving?"

"Not now!" Zhang Li walked to the corner of the wall, slowly poked out half of her head, and looked at the opposite city wall. He whispered: "Now the defenders are still in charge of investigating, as long as we approach the moat, we will be discovered by the defenders immediately!"

"When will that be?" Lin Haotian asked.

"Wait until the person in charge of the investigation leaves. Zhang Li replied.

"What if the other party doesn't leave all night?" Lin Haotian asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Then we'll have to do it today. Zhang Li turned back to Lin Haotian and grinned, and said, "But don't worry, adults, people have three urgencies." The Underworld Warrior in charge of the investigation can't be there all the time, and it will definitely give us an opportunity. ”

Lin Haotian shrugged his shoulders and muttered, "I hope so......"

Time passed minute by minute, Lin Haotian and the others became more and more impatient, just when they were all discouraged, Zhang Li, who was standing guard in the corner of the wall, suddenly beckoned and said: "The underworld warrior on the city wall has left, right now, go quickly!" As she spoke, she prostrate on the ground, covered her body with a cloak, and then quickly crawled towards the moat.

Lin Haotian, Shao Lin and the two demonic underworld warriors glanced at each other, nodded at the same time, and flashed directly to the small embankment of the moat with a swift stride.

Most of their bodies were immersed in water, and their ten fingers were like nails, deeply embedded in the river, so that their bodies would not sink to the bottom of the river.

Zhang Li on the other side, her situation is much more thrilling than Lin Haotian and others, although she is covered with a cloak of the same color as the ground, but she still has to climb and stop, whenever there are defenders on the city wall looking out, she has to stop crawling immediately, stay in place, motionless, in the dark night, looking from afar, her side is like a small earthen bag arched.

Zhang Li was worthy of the name and approached the moat under the noses of the defenders, and when she dived into the river, she let out a sigh of relief, swam to the opposite side, approached Lin Haotian and the four of them, and said in a low voice: "The entrance of the waterway is under the river, and now the river is dark, everyone should pull one by one, don't lose it!"

Everyone nodded one after another, and Lin Haotian signaled to her to hurry up and lead the way.

Zhang Li didn't delay, took Lin Haotian's arm, and plunged into the water of the moat.

As Zhang Li said, the current moat is so dark that you can't see your fingers, and you can barely see, but Lin Haotian has night eyes and can still see it clearly.

He pulled Zhang Li with one hand and Shao Lin with the other, dived to the bottom of the moat for a while, and finally saw a large round hole more than two people thick on the wall along the river. Zhang Li was the first to swim in, Lin Haotian pulled her, and also followed, when he walked through the hole, he could clearly see that there were iron bars cut by sharp weapons around the hole, obviously, it used to have metal guardrails, but I don't know who cut it off, so it became a free passage.

Entering the hole, this time it was completely dark, and even Lin Haotian, who had night eyes, could only see about three meters.

After swimming diagonally upwards for a while, Zhang Li pulled Lin Haotian and finally surfaced.

At the moment of emergence. Lin Haotian instinctively inhaled heavily, but this breath inhaled into his lungs, and he almost vomited out the food he ate yesterday.

The waterways are so stinky, there is the stench of excrement, there is the stench of mold, there is the stench of dampness, and all kinds of stenches are mixed together, enough to make people faint.

Zhang Li has a lot of experience. Even when she came out of the water, she didn't immediately inhale, first took out the fire twist, blew it, and inserted it into the rotten mud of the wall, then calmly took out the oiled paper bag, tore it, and pulled out a clean cloth towel from it, and tied it tightly to her face. Then he inhaled heavily.

Seeing this, Lin Haotian finally understood what the oiled paper bag she gave herself was for, following Zhang Li's example, he scattered his armor, took out the oiled paper bag, tore the outer layer of oiled paper, and quickly tied the inner cloth towel to his mouth and nose.

The cloth towel is obviously specially treated, and there is a faint fragrance on it. It's not strong, but it completely hides the stench in the waterway.

This made Lin Haotian breathe a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, Zhang Li gave me this cloth towel, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to stay in the waterway for a moment.

Soon, Shao Lin and the other two demonic underworld warriors also showed their heads, Shao Lin was as inexperienced as Lin Haotian, surfaced and subconsciously inhaled. As a result, it was as if he had swallowed a fly, his face turned red, and he coughed vigorously.

Lin Haotian pointed to the cloth towel on his face and said, "Quickly put on the cloth towel that Miss Zhang gave you!"

Shao Lin was stunned for a moment before he reacted and quickly took out the oiled paper bag.

Lin Haotian took the opportunity to look around. The space here is long and narrow, the width can only accommodate one person, and looking ahead, there is a black cave in front of it, about half a meter in diameter. He asked Zhang Li in front of him, "That's the waterway you are talking about?"

"That's right!" Zhang Li turned back to Lin Haotian and smiled, and said: "The environment inside is much worse and dirtier than here, do you really want to go in?"

Lin Haotian said indifferently: "Miss Zhang is leading the way." ”

Listening to his resolute tone, Zhang Li didn't say much, and took the lead in getting into the waterway, followed by Lin Haotian.

Zhang Li was right, the filth in the waterways was so filthy that Lin Haotian couldn't describe it in words. The walls around him were full of rotting mud and filth, and even feces hung on them, and his palms pressed into the ground, so soft that his fingers would sink into the mud and filth, and even though his body was covered with spiritual energy, he still felt sick for a while.

This was the first time that Lin Haotian regretted the decision he had made, and he knew that the environment in the waterway was like this, and he really shouldn't have insisted on coming in the first place. Now that he is in it, it is useless to regret it, so he can only follow Zhang Li forward.

This waterway can be described as the most disgusting part of Lin Haotian's life, and after the worst, he has become numb, and even his nose has temporarily lost his sense of smell.

It seemed that it was as long as a century, and a dim light finally appeared in front of him, Lin Haotian's spirit was greatly shaken, and he said to Zhang Li in front of him: "It's almost to the exit, hurry up and climb ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Li booed, turned her head slightly, and reminded in a low voice: "This is already in the palace!"

No matter where it was, Lin Haotian didn't want to stay in the waterway for a moment, he raised his head to Zhang Li and asked her to climb out of the canal first.

Finally crawling out of the waterway, Lin Haotian immediately dispersed the armor on his body, then ripped off the face towel on his face, raised his head, and inhaled fresh air in a big gulp. Shao Lin and the two demon warriors who came out later were also the same.

After a long pause, Lin Haotian's sanity was pulled back from the brink of collapse, and he squatted down and looked around silently. It is a small courtyard, and although the ground is clean and free of debris, the bricks are covered with stains, especially at the exit of the waterway, which is even more black and shiny. Looking around, there are a lot of sundries piled up around the courtyard, most of them are waste, and I think this should be the garbage room in the palace.

In order to confirm his location, he asked Zhang Li in a low voice, "Can you go out and have a look now?"

Zhang Li made a waiting gesture to him, then raised her legs high and walked lightly to the courtyard door, first listening to the movement outside for a while, then slowly opening the door, and looking out through the gap for a while to confirm that there was no problem, and then beckoned to Lin Haotian.

Lin Haotian followed her out of the courtyard, to the surroundings of the patrol, in the night, a tall and majestic hall looming, the most attractive is that there is a very high platform building on the east side of him, this building, Lin Haotian is no stranger to this building, on the watchtower of the coalition camp to look at Huaiyang, you can see this building, this is built in the center of the palace of King You, the extremely famous 'climbing platform'.

Through the platform and its location, Lin Haotian can confirm that this is indeed the palace of King You, and at the same time, he can also confirm that the exit of the waterway is located on the west side of the palace.

After some careful observation, Lin Haotian knew it in his heart, and then returned to the garbage room with Zhang Li, Shao Lin and others.

Now, he wants to go back to the waterway, Lin Haotian felt a burst of worry in his heart, and finally turned his heart sideways, burrowed into the waterway, and returned the same way.

The distance from the moat to the palace was not short, and it was very difficult to crawl in the small space inside, so the delay was naturally very long. When Lin Haotian and the others climbed to more than half of the time, the sky was already dark, and at this time, many palace maids in the palace had already gotten up, and buckets of garbage and excrement began to pour into the waterways in a steady stream.

Sewage mixed with garbage, rotten vegetables, feces and urine surged from behind them, and although Lin Haotian and the others had a towel to cover their noses and a spiritual qi to protect their bodies, they were still disgusted and retched.

After reaching the end, Lin Haotian and the others crawled out of the waterway with red eyes and dived back into the moat.

Entering the moat, Lin Haotian did not surface immediately, and kept holding his breath and sinking to the bottom of the river, staying as long as possible to wash away the filth on his body.

It wasn't until all the oxygen in his body was exhausted and he had reached his limit that he quickly surfaced. (To be continued......)
