Chapter 895: Tricked (1)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin’an City was an important checkpoint for the Wu Kingdom to prevent the Xuanyuan Kingdom’s army from converging with the Great Xia’s army. In order to prevent anyone from spreading the news outside or spies from sneaking into the city, the Wu Kingdom’s army took turns patrolling the city 24 hours a day, guarding the entire Lin’an City tightly.
In the middle of the night, the sound of the patrol team’s footsteps and armor could be heard from time to time on the streets. The sound was uniform, making one inexplicably panic.
When the sound above gradually faded away, a light cracking sound suddenly sounded from an abandoned courtyard beside them.
The stone was pushed away, and a young man crawled out of the hole first. Right on his heels was another young man. After the young man stood still and looked around to make sure that there was no danger, he squatted down and pulled a middle-aged man with white hair up from below. Behind the white-haired man was a masked man in black.
These four people were none other than Chu Sheng, Chu Feng, Xuanyuan Ce, and You San.
“Your Highness, are you alright?” Chu Sheng lowered his voice and asked. Xuanyuan Ce glanced at him coldly. “You’re not allowed to mention what happened tonight to anyone. Otherwise…”
Chu Sheng nodded repeatedly. “I understand. His Highness has never climbed into a latrine pit.”
Xuanyuan Ce’s forehead throbbed. It was clearly an abandoned latrine pit!
He looked at the pit in front of him with a complicated expression. He really could not figure out what was going on in the mind of the person who dug up this secret passage that could enter and leave Lin’an City.
“If you want to dig, so be it. Why did you make a latrine pit above?” he thought.
As for Chu Sheng, he probably wouldn’t have discovered this secret passage without any special experience.
Chu Sheng did not know what he was thinking. Otherwise, he would have flattered him. “Your Highness, you’re too amazing.”
He could discover this secret passage because he had passed by this place after drinking too much and wanted to find a place to squat, but he accidentally fell down.
“Your Highness, what should we do next?” Chu Sheng scratched his head and asked.
“Find a place to change first.”
As Xuanyuan Ce spoke, he walked to the corner of the courtyard. After listening carefully for a moment, he jumped over the wall.
You San followed closely behind. Seeing that Chu Feng was about to leave, Chu Sheng quickly pulled him back and begged, “Brother, on account that we’re both surnamed Chu, bring me along.”
Chu Feng frowned. He grabbed his clothes and jumped onto the wall. With another leap, he landed on the ground.
Their luck was not bad. Not long after, they encountered three Wu Kingdom soldiers who had left the team and ran to the alley to relieve themselves.
Without Xuanyuan Ce’s instructions, the three of them were easily dealt with by You San in the blink of an eye.
Chu Sheng was dumbfounded. This was too amazing.
“What are you waiting for?” Chu Feng reminded her softly.
“Oh.” Chu Sheng swallowed and glanced at the fallen soldier. He quickly took the clothes that You San had plucked from the Wu Kingdom’s soldiers with trembling hands.
After the three of them put on their armor, You San also dealt with the corpses.
“Brother, what about me?” Chu Sheng asked boldly.
Xuanyuan Ce glanced at him. “He doesn’t need it.”
Chu Sheng wanted to ask why, but You San had already disappeared into the night.
Chu Sheng was speechless.
The three of them chased after the patrol team in front of them in the armor of the Wu Kingdom’s soldiers. It was too dark around them, so the people in front did not think too much about it since they were wearing the armor of Wu Kingdom soldiers.
They originally wanted to find an opportunity to inquire about the place where the city guards were imprisoned, but before they could take the initiative to find someone to ask, it was time for the handover.
Looking at the soldiers coming and going around, Chu Feng was speechless. What kind of heaven-defying luck was this?
They had previously analyzed that there were more than 100,000 city guards in Lin’an City. Apart from the military camp, there was no other place that could lock up so many people.
They were lucky to get in so easily.
However, just as he thought this, someone suddenly ran past him.
“He’s Lord Jing’an of the Xuanyuan Kingdom.” Chu Sheng ran to the front of the team and pointed at Xuanyuan Ce. He shouted, “And the two of them are spies.”
As soon as he said this, the surrounding Wu Kingdom soldiers instantly surrounded the two people at the back of the group.
The change happened too quickly. Before Xuanyuan Ce and Chu Feng could react, everyone’s necks were covered in swords.
“Haha!” A hearty laugh sounded. The soldiers who had surrounded the two of them made way for someone.
A middle-aged man in a general’s armor walked out and patted Chu Sheng’s shoulder. “Well done.”
Chu Sheng smiled ingratiatingly. “I’ve already brought him here according to the general’s instructions.. As for my family..
