Chapter 1228 Entering the City

to leave, Jiang Qingyang stood up and suddenly said, "King of Beijang, thank you."Jiang Qingyang's words of thanks contained so much.For King Beijang's concessions to the Prince, and for his care for...Eleven also naturally knew the consequences once explosives fell into enemy hands.

So he could understand very well why their king had to go there in person.

The first reason is to find those explosives, and the second is to prevent the brothers of Xuntanggu and the brothers sent by the previous faction from sacrificing themselves.

If they could hold out until their prince entered the mountains, perhaps they would all be able to come out alive.

After all, their prince is no longer the same as before. He thought to himself, those mountain mists and beasts wouldn't be able to harm their prince.

This is also one of the reasons why he and Eleven later stopped trying to dissuade their king.

At this point, Yunliu and Eleven accepted the fact that their lord had left the camp. They looked at each other, and Eleven said, "I'll go deal with those people. Those traitors have been running rampant for long enough; it's time to clean house."

Yunliu nodded slightly, "Mmm, proceed as planned."

……

Mo Yunjing and Han Yun quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain. Mo Yunjing didn't seem to know what he was thinking; instead of going in right away, he stood outside and looked for a moment.

Han Yun raised an eyebrow. "We're here already, you're not still trying to stop me from going in, are you"

As longtime friends, he could naturally guess what Mo Yunjing was hesitating about.

He's already come this far, there's no way he would desert now.

Mo Yunjing glanced at him, "Actually, you don't have to do this. You don't owe me anything."

Han Yun smiled. "Let's not talk about our relationship for now. This time I came here at the request of your queen. My life was saved, and even if there were no years of friendship between us, I would still repay your queen."

"This mountain, as you know, has always been an in-and-out place."

"What Mo Yunjing, you look down on me Even though I can't beat you, you don't have to treat people this way, do you Rest assured, if you can come out safely, so can I."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Mo Yunjing stopped talking. He suddenly raised his fist and lightly punched Han Yun on the shoulder, "This time, consider it a debt I owe you."

Upon hearing this, Han Yun immediately grinned, "Being able to get you in my debt is a great deal, it seems like I came out on top this time."

Mo Yunjing ignored him and immediately walked inside.

Han Yun retracted her smile and followed.

His people had also entered this mountain, but the outcome for them was the same as for all who went in—none came out.

......

Northern Frontier City

After five days and nights on the road, Yun finally reached outside Bei Jiang City.

He had never imagined that he would enter the city, which he had guarded for so long, in this way.

In fact, he had arrived in the daytime already, but the city gate was too strict, and he didn't know if this Mo Yunchen was guarding against their Yun family army. Every person entering and leaving Beijang City, regardless of age or sex, had to go through a thorough check by the soldiers on guard.

None were left behind. He tried to break in from elsewhere, but he found that every accessible point in the city was heavily guarded by troops sent by Mo Yunchen.

He had no chance of getting in at all.

So, this wait stretched on until the darkest and windiest night arrived.

At this time, the city gate was already closed. He avoided the watchful eyes on the city wall and tiptoed to the city gate.

Hearing the sound of the city gate, he knew his chance had arrived.

As the guard was changing shift and the commotion died down, Yun Wu let out a specific animal call that only soldiers of the Yun family could understand.

Shortly after the sound, there was indeed movement inside.

"Did you hear that There seems to be some noise outside."

No sooner had the man's voice fallen than Yun Wu heard another person say, "I heard it too, it sounded like a goat bleating."

Inside fell silent for a moment, then Yun Wu cried out again.

The two men inside the city gate exchanged glances. The soldier who had spoken first said, “No, I have to report this commotion. You stay here and guard this place, while I go ask for instructions…”

"Wait." Another person suddenly called out. He carefully glanced at the soldiers guarding the city in the distance, then lowered his voice and said:

“You know I've been guarding here for days, no one knows the outside situation better than me. It must be a sheep out there. Just let your brother catch it and go. Your brother has several children to raise, he can’t afford them food normally. Now that he finally caught a sheep, don't tell anyone else, let us split it between ourselves.”

At his words, the other person hesitated for a moment, but still cautiously said, "But what if it's not sheep out there, but a conspiracy We can't afford to have anything go wrong right now, or else if His Highness finds out, both of our lives will be forfeit."

"Don't worry, ever since the King of Beijiang has been in charge of Beijiang City, nothing bad has ever happened. Besides the sound of that goat a moment ago, there hasn't been any other noise outside. What are we afraid of"

In the middle of their conversation, he reached out and patted the person's shoulder. "Besides," he said, "we only need to open a small gap, just enough for one person to get out."

During the shift change, for just this one minute, the city gate's defenses are weakest. After this minute, four more brothers will arrive to guard with them.

So whatever needs to be done, it has to be done within this minute.

"Don't worry, that goat must be injured. I'll cover you. You're smaller than me, so it'll be easier for you to slip out. I'll keep watch and stop anyone from coming over. Just kill the goat and drag it in."

"This... killed the goat and dragged it in, where do you want to hide it"

"Don't worry about that, trust me, I have a way to hide the goats somewhere they won't be found before they arrive. When someone comes to switch places with us, we can then divide the meat afterwards."

Finally, after much hesitation, the man chose to believe the person before him. After exchanging glances, they both opened the city gate together.

When a city gate is fully open, the noise it makes is considerable, but even just opening it a tiny crack wouldn't be enough to attract the attention of soldiers stationed at a distance.

After the smaller man successfully squeezed through the gap, before he could even raise his head and see what was happening, Yun Wu immediately knocked him unconscious.

Yun Wu hesitated for no moment, immediately ripping open the man's clothes and putting on the soldier's uniform. After doing so, he quickly entered the city gate.

Those inside could see his features clearly and immediately bowed low, saying, “Fifth General, you’ve finally returned.”

Yun Wu shook his head. The two of them first closed the city gate. Yun Wu lowered his voice, "What's the situation in the city now"

"General, our Cloud Army's contact points within the city have been discovered. The General should not go there easily. Currently, only the contact point near the military camp is still available, but we don't have many people left in the city."

Mo Yunchen might not know, sometimes the most dangerous place is also the safest. He definitely couldn't have imagined that their Yun Family Army was so bold, leaving the only remaining contact point less than ten meters from the camp.s face north with a gloomy expression. After regaining his composure, he whistled and summoned his horse, quickly mounting it and galloping away.Meanwhile, An Xuetang and Feng Ming were hurrying on th...
