Chapter 193 Arriving at Nan'an City

"Brother Xiaofan, how did you come up with such a method?" Mu Xiangxian asked strangely.

"I've heard my master mention this method before. At that time, the arrow was on the string. I didn't think too much about whether it was possible, so I took the risk! I didn't expect it to work. This is luck!"

"You Jishi Daoist lineage are indeed masters, by the way, Xiaofan, why are you looking for me at this time?"

"General Mu, I want to go to Yangcheng to have a meeting with the people from the procuratorate for a while. They are not here to investigate the truth about the death of my father-in-law. I will tell them the truth. I hope to get their understanding and try to help us. Let the truth be uploaded to the heavens, and I hope there will be a happy result for all.”

After thinking for a while, Mu Xiangxian said: "This is indeed possible. If this is the case, I will let the brothers below surround and not attack, and buy more time for you."

"Thank you, General Mu. I came here today for this matter. Since General Mu agreed, then I won't delay any longer. I'll thank you later!"

"Then I won't keep you brother Xiaofan, let's have another drink next time we meet."

Saying goodbye to Chen Xiaofan and the others, only Zhang Shun and Mu Xiangxian were left in the big tent, Zhang Shun looked worried, and said in a low voice: "General, you let the brothers besiege and not attack. If the beast hunters are accused of treason, then we will most likely be accused of fornicating a traitor!"

Mu Xiangxian said in a low voice: "I also know that I will take some risks by doing this. I know that the Nan'an incident was caused by those bastards. I can't just ignore everything for the sake of my own future. , Zhang Shun, we have always hoped to return to the Northern Territory State and kill more orcs on the battlefield. What we are doing now is also fighting the orcs, which is the same as going directly to the battlefield! Do you understand?"

Zhang Shun looked at Mu Xiangxian's expression, which was focused on the battlefield, and said, "General, I understand."

Mu Xiangxian patted Zhang Shun's shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother, good job!"

Chen Xiaofan didn't know about the conversations between Mu Xiangxian and Zhang Shun after he left the barracks. After he and Leng Shuang'er left the barracks, Leng Shuang'er said: "Xiaofan, that General Mu just now can be considered a man of righteousness. He let the soldiers besiege Nan'an City instead of attacking it, that's a risk! I can't imagine that there are such righteous people in the government."

"Risk? What's the risk?" Chen Xiaofan asked puzzled.

"If we can't get the emperor to exonerate the people in Nan'an City from the crime of rebellion, then his behavior of besieging and not attacking may be impeached as a kind of collusion with the enemy. This crime is a big or small crime!"

Although Chen Xiaofan didn't know too much about the official affairs in the imperial court, he was not stupid, and he understood the danger after being told by Leng Shuang'er, and he naturally respected Mu Xiangxian a lot in his heart.

"Shuang'er, let's meet up with the brothers and go on our way. I will try my best not to disappoint General Mu."

Soon after the two of them reunited with the dark cousins ​​outside the city, they set off in the direction of Yangcheng without any delay.

A day passed in a blink of an eye, but Chen Xiaofan and his group did not go far. Chen Xiaofan squatted in a bush and complained to Leng Shuang'er beside him: "These officers and soldiers are crazy! It's another interrogation sentry! His grandma's is surrounded like an iron bucket, it's really annoying!"

"Xiaofan, don't complain, it's better to buy some time to go around."

"That's the only way to go, I really want to rush over there!" Chen Xiaofan seemed a little annoyed.

"Xiaofan, if we let them notice that we might be surrounded by them on the road before we even entered Yangcheng! Let's go."

Leng Shuang'er has very rich experience in avoiding the sentry post. Under her leadership, the brothers in the dark hall and Chen Xiaofan bypassed the sentry post very smoothly, but they just walked a little more and wasted some time.

One outpost will take more time, so many outposts will also be delayed more time, so the original road from Nan'an City to Yangcheng, with Chen Xiaofan's footsteps, is more than two days It was possible to arrive there, but it took five days to reach around Yangcheng because of the strictly inspected outposts along the way.

"Xiaofan, the vigilance around Yangcheng is not much easier than this way. The situation in the city is still unclear. I have asked a few brothers to check the situation of the four city gates first. The situation of the gate can only be used to infer the level of alert in the city." Leng Shuang'er said.

At this time, the deserted forest they were in was less than two miles away from Yangcheng, Chen Xiaofan leaned against a tree, stretched his body and said: "Finally here! Shuang'er! We have made it this far I'm so aggrieved! You should also sit down and have a rest, and we'll talk again when Mocha's brothers come back."

Leng Shuang'er sat next to Chen Xiaofan, and said to the other brothers: "Brothers, let's take a break too, there shouldn't be any danger here."

After about an hour, the brothers sent out to investigate the situation returned to the forest and reported the situation to Leng Shuang'er, while Chen Xiaofan listened together.

"Shuang'er, although I said that the defense of these four city gates is not very strict, but I still think that if we all act together, the goal is too big."

"Xiaofan, I think so too, how about we two go first to the city, and the other brothers enter the city through the four gates in batches, and then meet up in the city?" Leng Shuang'er suggested.

"Shuang'er, I think this is more appropriate. I am still very familiar with Yangcheng. Brothers, come here. Now I will draw a rough map of Yangcheng for everyone to see."

Chen Xiaofan took a branch, made a blank space on the ground, and then began to draw a rough map of Yangcheng.

To draw a map of Yangcheng and remember the things that were necessary at that time, Chen Xiaofan drew strokes on the ground with a branch, and those strokes formed streets and alleys, and those streets and alleys were Chen Xiaofan's past Childhood is a past that can no longer be returned.

Leng Shuang'er noticed that Chen Xiaofan was feeling sad suddenly, she asked in a low voice: "Xiaofan, are you alright?"

Chen Xiaofan closed his eyes, calmed down and said, "It's okay, let's continue."

After drawing the map of the entire Yangcheng, this map can be said to be very careful, Chen Xiaofan pointed with the branch in his hand and said: "Brothers, please memorize the map in your mind as soon as possible, after everyone enters the city, it will be here Concentrate, here is a dilapidated yard, in which are some homeless beggars, the place is large enough to be a hiding place."

After a quarter of an hour, Leng Shuang'er said: "Have you all remembered the route?" The brothers in the dark hall nodded to indicate that they had remembered.

"Then since we all remember, let's act."

"Shuang'er, I still have something to say later." Chen Xiaofan stood up and continued, "Brothers, when you get to that broken yard, don't hurt the people in that yard. Shuang'er and I will go Meet the people from the Overwatch Council, if things go well, we will join you! But if there is no news from us after two days, then please find a way to leave on your own.”

"Master?! Let's go with you, it's safer!" said a brother from the dark hall.

"Brothers, listen to Xiaofan, we are not here to fight this time. If we don't come back, you can go back to Nan'an City and tell the people there that the matter has failed, and then return to Hongye Mountain Villa!"

After hearing Leng Shuang'er's words, the brothers in the dark hall were a little worried, Chen Xiaofan smiled and said when he saw this situation: "Brothers, what Shuang'er said is just in case, but my luck has always been good, I believe this This situation will not happen!"

"Okay, don't be a mother-in-law, let's act! Xiaofan, let's go!"

All the brothers in the dark hall clasped their fists together and said in unison: "Young master Chen, hall master, take care! I wish you all the best!"

When Chen Xiaofan was about to turn around and say something, Leng Shuang'er held him back and continued to move forward, leaving a pair of free and easy backs for the brothers in the dark hall.
