Severed ties and living in a dilapidated house? No worries, the poor thing has a space.
Chapter 152 Then We Won't Enter the City
After leaving Xishan Village, Fuju rode another horse in pursuit, riding alongside Fang Yu's horse.
The two did not exchange many words along the way until they could see the terrain of Huaizhou City, at which point Fang Yu stopped his horse first.
“Miss Fang, it seems there are people from the Chi Kingdom stationed ahead. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to enter the city.”
Fu Ju spoke up from the side to remind them, and looking ahead, they saw that there was indeed a checkpoint set up, with only ordinary people hurrying through.
This road is the only way to reach Huaizhou City.
Fang Yu dismounted from his horse and casually stopped a passerby, asking, "Auntie, do you know what the situation is like in Huaizhou City?"
The woman who was being questioned stopped in her tracks, still panting, and said, "Chi Jun has said that as long as we leave Huaizhou City voluntarily, he won't harm us. Young lady, I think you'd better leave quickly, because now you can only leave the city, not enter."
The woman deliberately lowered her voice and reminded them, "I heard that the Chi Army has brought a large number of troops and is already at the city gates. How long can the few garrison troops in the city hold out? Before the Chi Army starts their massacre, it's more important to save your life."
After speaking, the woman didn't linger and hurried off down the road.
There were quite a few civilians who fled from Huaizhou City along the way.
With the enemy at the gates, ordinary people could flee, but Xiao Jingqi, as the Inspector General, would not easily abandon the city and run away, even if it meant being executed.
This was what Fang Yu was thinking. If he were the kind of person who was afraid of death, he would not have investigated and punished the county magistrate and his men, and instead guarded this place alone.
Fu Ju frowned deeply: "Miss Fang, we can't get into the city right now, what should we do next?"
Fang Yu never intended to go to Huaizhou City in the first place. The Chi Army could burn the reinforcements' supplies, and she could certainly retaliate in kind.
Fang Yu led the horse forward, saying, "Then we won't go into the city."
Fu Ju didn't understand what she meant, but seeing that she seemed to have some plan, he could only lead his horse and follow behind her.
A whole day has passed, and the sun is gradually setting in the west, casting its afterglow on the earth.
Fang Yu rode his steed, seemingly wandering aimlessly back and forth outside Huaizhou City, as if he had lost his way and was constantly searching for a way into the city.
Finally, the horse slowly came to a stop at the edge of a steep cliff.
Fang Yu reined in the horses, steadied himself, and looked down from his vantage point. Not far below, he saw the massive military camp of the Chi Kingdom.
At a glance, the camps were densely packed and countless, standing there like a small city.
Between the tents, countless torches flickered and swayed, their light intertwining to create a hazy halo, making it difficult to see the specific situation below.
Fang Yu stood quietly on the edge of the cliff, gazing at the military camp below, motionless, as if time had frozen.
I don't know how much time passed, maybe a very long time, but the sun gradually set and the sky slowly began to be shrouded in night.
Fu Ju, who had been following behind Fang Yu, finally couldn't suppress his doubts and worries and asked, "Miss Fang, do you not intend to infiltrate the Chi Army's camp?"
His voice broke the long silence.
Upon hearing this, Fang Yu gently dismounted and handed the reins to Fu Ju, indicating that he should help lead the horse to the side and tie it up.
Then, she calmly replied, "You could say that. They are currently gathering their forces to attack the city, leaving their rear vulnerable. This is the perfect opportunity for us to act."
Upon hearing Fang Yu's words, Fu Ju's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly objected, "No! Miss Fang, the people of Chi Kingdom will surely think of this. The situation is still unclear, and we know nothing about the enemy's situation. Acting rashly will only put us in danger. Please think carefully before you act!"
Without hesitation, Fang Yu lifted her foot and strode towards the edge of the cliff.
She raised her hand, her slender fingers pointing firmly in a certain direction of the Blazing Army camp, and said loudly, "The supplies are right here! If we burn them, we won't have time to retreat. However, I have other better ideas."
Upon hearing this, Fu Zi, who was standing to the side, frowned deeply, forming a deep furrow between his brows.
He couldn't understand why Fang Yu was so certain that the supplies were in this place.
Based on his past experience in combat deployment, this position is indeed excellent.
At the slightest sign of trouble, the guards can arrive almost immediately.
However, Miss Fang surprisingly said she did not intend to burn the grain and fodder.
If that were the case, wouldn't all this risky journey have been pointless? Thinking of this, Fu Ju became increasingly worried.
Fang Yu seemed to sense Fu Ju's thoughts. She turned around and gently glanced at Fu Ju's worried brow.
Then, she smiled gently and comforted him softly, "Don't worry, I have a plan. You just need to be ready to meet me outside."
Throughout the day, Fu Ju followed closely behind Fang Yu like a shadow, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
What puzzled him was that Fang Yu hadn't done anything during the whole process, but at this moment, her steps forward were incredibly confident and composed, as if she had everything firmly under her control.
Night fell completely, and a bright, clear moon hung in the pitch-black sky. Silver moonlight poured down like water, illuminating the whole world in a hazy glow.
This vast wilderness appeared exceptionally quiet and desolate at this moment, with only the firelight in the Chijun camp leaping and flickering in the night wind, as if it were the only source of warmth and light on the dark earth.
Two figures stealthily crept outside the military camp. They carefully parted the dense grass in front of them, revealing wary eyes.
Fang Yu turned around and said in a low voice to the person next to him, "You wait for me here. Don't make any rash moves before I come out."
"Miss Fang..." Fu Ju was about to speak to dissuade her, but before he could finish speaking, Fang Yu raised her hand to interrupt him.
She looked at Fu Zi with a serious expression and emphasized again, "No matter what happens next, no matter what you hear, as long as I don't show myself, you absolutely cannot move. You must remember what I said!"
Fang Yu's tone was firm and resolute, carrying an irresistible authority.
Looking at her resolute face, Fu Ju was filled with worry, but he knew that saying anything more at this moment would be of no use.
He frowned deeply, his lips parted slightly, but he ultimately kept his mouth shut.
As Fang Yu's graceful figure gradually blended into the vast night, she soon disappeared into the empty wilderness.
