241 Close Battle
A man was walking towards the wall from the forest. He was being careful to not get found out by the soldiers who guard the area. It was hard for him to get inside since all of Soujin's soldiers were those who trained hard and have good martial arts. Walking here, there was a soldier, walking there, there was another soldier.
After pacing around here and there, the person finally managed to get passed them. He can get in the city, but in no way he could get close to the wall from the inside. Should he come straight to there, there were countless soldiers ready to hack him down.
Calming his nerve, the person waited in the dark for the person who Prince Mou had told him to come. Before long, a voice could be heard close to his ear.
"This place is not safe."
"It's alright. I will just stroll down for a moment. Besides, with the number of guards here, there is no way something can happen to me."
"But..."
"Is this enough?"
Giving some money to the soldier, the person who came could get inside. This person was bringing a bundle that seemed heavy.
The person stopped and put the bundle near the trees."I will be leaving it there. Take it."
There was no one near this person. However, after leaving the bundle, the person simply walked away and disappeared, even giving that soldier additional amount of money.
The one who was hiding in the darkness quietly came near the bundle. Inside of the bundle were the clothes of soldier from this area. He clicked his mouth in admiration. That person was not an ordinary one to get these clothes. After all, not everyone could get it.
He chose not to think about it anymore. The person on their Prince Mou side was, of course, extraordinary. How can the prince bear to use an ordinary person to be his piece and help him in his plan?
Donning on the clothes on himself, he started walking out from that area. He put a show as if he was in great hurry towards the wall. Sneaking in to behind the boulder that was put before the gate, he started chopping down the wood that blocked the wooden gate.
The process was arduous, and he needed to cope in with small space since he cannot get rid of the boulder easily. It would require a lot of man to pull the boulder out from that place. After a long while, he finally succeeded. The warm smile of his comrade welcomed him as they started to tie ropes towards the boulder and pulled it to their side.
Nanglong Souka didn't find anything weird at first, but then he noticed a big boulder appearing just before the gate. Sweats start to pour down on his back.
"How can they tear up the gate?"
Even if they were trying to tear up the gate, there was no way they could do it so easily. From the outside, the wall was as sturdy as hell and there was no change for anyone to crack it open.
Nanglong Souka face creased up."Send the soldiers down! Guard the entrance."
He felt enraged. The spy has surprisingly let the enemy came. But there was still hope for them. They would not let this incident hinder them because they don't want to lose the fight. Everything was not over yet. It would not end this way.
The soldiers frantically run about here and there. The villagers were inside their house, no one dared to come out. In Nanglong family residence, Qin Shie was holding onto her embroidery and calmly continued to do her work.
By the side, the servants cannot help but worry. Upon seeing their Madam was still as calm as before, they didn't know what to do.
"Madam, shouldn't we hide inside?"
The safety of Qin Shie was extremely important. If something happened to her, it would be unclear what Soujin would do in order to take revenge. Just previously, when Jun Min was dead, he already made people from the Lan family suffered miserably. If Qin Shie were to die, what would happen?
Nanglong Soujin would surely take it to himself to bring down the whole Kai Kingdom down. He wouldn't let anyone who participated in the battle especially the leader off. At that time, a big war would happen again.
Qin Shie merely smiled."Why should I hide?"
The servants felt like crying. Their Madam didn't usually make things difficult, but today she was surprisingly blockhead. She didn't want to leave the room and chose to sit on her place unmoving.
"If they want to come, then they should just come."
Qin Shie placed the embroidery down. She took the sword from the wall and stood in the center of the living room. Not long after that, the sound of a door breaking could be heard and the servants were all afraid to move.
"Stand aside. Don't hinder me!"
As soon as she said it, Qin Shie started moving about with that sword. The soldiers who came in were welcomed by the sword. Along the fight, Qin Shie was surprisingly calm while the servants already hid in the corner of the room.
They never see their Madam held a sword before. This was the first time they saw Qin Shie fighting and her battle prowess were incredibly amazing. Unfortunately, Qin Shie was not one to fight everyday which made her breathing turned a little rough after some time, but it was enough.
Her smile bloomed when the sound of fighting could be heard from outside. The soldiers no longer come inside and only one person came in with a sword in his hand.
"Mother, sorry I'm late."
"It's fine. Go help your grandfather."
"Yes."
