Tianming rolled his eyes, waved his hand, and asked, "Just tell me whether you want to go to the city or not?"
Shaoyu shrugged and did not answer.
Of course he is going.
Not only did he want to go, he was actually more anxious than Tianming. After all, it was his favorite goddess who was involved. However, he just got used to the scene and talked about it, so he defended the snow girl and the others.
Shaoyu then changed the topic to Sanghai's situation:
"I don't know what's going on in the city right now..."
"According to Xiao Gao, the common people should be fine, but it will be troublesome for people like us to go in." Tianming continued casually.
He didn't care much about Songhai's situation.
No matter what, they all have to help Shi Lan and go into the city. In this case, there is no need to worry too much.
They were just sneaking into the city, and they had no intention of going to the General's Mansion to retaliate against Ying Zheng, so they wouldn't be unable to stay in the city.
Shaoyu put the shortened formation-breaking Overlord Gun on his shoulder and said with emotion, "Although I had known that there would be huge waves after that night, I still didn't expect that the situation would be so tense...
It’s also due to your boy’s contribution.”
"You said that if you had some energy that night and held on even for two or three more breaths, you could kill Ying Zheng. How much trouble can we save now!" Shao Yu bumped into Tian Ming's arm and joked with a smile.
Tianming shrugged helplessly, "Even if you tell me this again and again, I still have no relevant memory at all."
"I just remember being knocked unconscious and it was already yesterday when I woke up."
Seeing that Tianming was quite concerned about this matter, Shao Yu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much. It's not a bad thing anyway. We can turn the tide in every crisis."
Tianming rolled his eyes and asked him, "Do you really think it's a good thing?"
Shaoyu grinned and did not answer.
If Tianming's strange state does not have any hidden dangers or consequences, then of course it is a good thing. How could anyone not like to explode?
But the problem is that they can't determine whether there is a cost to this situation.
It's great to have a blast, but it won't be that great if you suddenly die from it afterwards.
Of course Shaoyu was also worried about Tianming's strange situation, but he couldn't show it - because there was no way to solve it.
That night they returned to their stronghold and hid in the Xuanwu machine. Tianming was in a coma for a whole day. Gai Nie and others also studied Tianming for a whole day, but in the end they found nothing.
No matter how they checked, Gai Nie's conclusion was the same as Xiaoyaozi's.
There is no clue, and naturally there is no solution, so we can only put it aside.
Gai Nie and others discussed for a long time and concluded that the only possible solution to this problem was to find Gu Xun.
The execution of this plan is obviously not high, especially at this point in time, so it can only be shelved.
All in all, the ultimate conclusion of this situation is that good fortune and misfortune are unpredictable.
Tianming was also aware of this, but Shaoyu and the others avoided discussing this topic, so Tianming acted as if he didn't care.
Anyway, he has a big heart and is used to this kind of bad luck.
As long as there are no problems now, that's fine. If something happens in the future, let's talk about it later.
Shao Yu quickly changed the subject at this time, "I wonder how Shi Lan is doing now? Is she still in the city?"
"It should be there." Tian Ming followed Shan Ruliu and followed Shao Yu's words and analyzed, "The more times this happens, the less likely Shi Lan will stay away from the port area, lest the situation changes and she cannot respond in time."
"But the city is not so nice right now." Shao Yu said worriedly.
"She has been hanging out in the city these days. She must have her own way. Don't underestimate her." Tianming was relatively calm.
"It's inevitable to worry..." Shaoyu still couldn't let go, and said with concern.
He was not only worried about Shi Lan's safety, but also worried that Shi Lan would not be able to restrain himself from taking action in advance.
Tian understood him and said angrily, "If you have such leisure, you might as well worry more about the current situation of the mirage."
The biggest problem they are about to face in Tianming is neither the martial law in Songhai City nor the trouble Shi Lan may encounter, but whether the situation in the mirage has changed due to the changes in Songhai.
Because of the martial law in Songhai and the fact that Ying Zheng had attracted everyone's attention, the Mo family knew nothing about the current situation of the mirage.
Gao Jianli and the others did not miss their target. After the Qinglong Project, they decisively turned their attention away from Ying Zheng, only paying the necessary attention to him and shifting their focus to the mirage.
But now the people of the Mo family can't show up at all. They have adjusted their goals, but for a while they can't really take action, and naturally they can't get information.
As for the possibility of Shi Lan acting alone in advance, Tian Ming actually considered it, but he felt that Shi Lan would not be so reckless - not only would it be dangerous for Shi Lan, but it would also probably trap Tian Ming and Shao Yu.
Shi Lan would not be so irresponsible to her friends.
"Mirage..." After hearing this topic, Shao Yu's thoughts couldn't help but wander, "It should be as high as Sanghai under martial law, right?"
"Who knows?" Tianming shook his head and replied, "I hope the mirage will remain as usual."
"I think there is little chance that your wish will come true." Shao Yu glanced at Tianming and complained casually.
Tianming snorted lightly and refused to argue with Shaoyu.
Because he himself just said that and did not think that the mirage could remain as usual.
As the two chatted each other, they soon arrived near Songhai.
The entrance to Songhai City has been particularly lively these days.
Due to the martial law in the city, people were not allowed to go out for the first two days and were unwilling to go out for the past two days. The number of people entering and leaving the city also dropped sharply to almost zero.
However, there are many people, carriages and horses entering and exiting Songhai City every day.
For a large city like Songhai, the daily consumption of various living materials is extremely huge, and there is not much production capacity within the city, so it must be imported from the outside.
No matter how strict the martial law is in Songhai, the people inside still have to eat, drink, and defecate, and everything they need is indispensable, so merchants bring goods into the city every day.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, for safety reasons, you can only enter the city at a fixed time, and you must also undergo the strictest inspection.
It was a coincidence that the two of them arrived at dawn, just in time to deliver goods into the city, so the city gate was full of freight carriages.
The two of them hid in the dark and observed this scene. Tianming said to Shaoyu:
"What should I say? Do you want to seize this opportunity?"
Shaoyu rolled his eyes and replied, "Are you serious?"
The empire's operation is similar to showing weakness or encircling three enemies. It deliberately gives the enemy the path that seems to be the best, but in fact it is just to attract people into the game.
It doesn't take much to imagine how stringent inspections these freight wagons will undergo.
Although this kind of carriage that transports large amounts of goods is very convenient for hiding people, it cannot withstand the meticulous inspection of the imperial soldiers inch by inch.
It seems like an opportunity, but it's actually a dead end.
In fact, there were indeed many anti-Qin forces who tried to sneak into the city through this at the beginning, but they all failed. Those who followed learned wisely and basically did not take this route.
The empire doesn't care about this either. The purpose of centralized delivery is to facilitate management. Even if the rebels can't be caught by the way, it won't be a loss.
Shao Yu was familiar with the art of war and judged the situation in front of him very accurately.
Tianming chuckled, but he didn't really intend to do this - he also saw the risks involved.
With their strength, it would be fine even if they were discovered, but it was obviously pointless to go through all this work in vain.
"Let's go, while they are busy here, let's take a long way into the city." Tianming proposed another truly feasible plan.
Entering the city of Songhai is a very simple matter - Songhai is surrounded by mountains to the west and water to the east. Anyone with good legs and feet and willing to put in the effort can do it, let alone those who know martial arts.
This is also the reason why Zhang Han has no confidence in guarding the entire Songhai.
………………
While Tianming Shaoyu was looking for opportunities to enter the city, in a house outside the port, a figure was carefully observing the mirage through the window with only a crack open.
Wearing a black and blue tights, her long, silky hair was simply tied back with a hairband. Her graceful figure was clearly visible, and her pretty but childish face represented her young age.
This person is naturally Shi Lan who has been hiding in Songhai City.
It is true that Songhai is not easy to treat under martial law, but as long as you don't act rashly and don't target the General's Mansion, it is still possible to hide him.
Shi Lan received help from Renzong and had several places to stay near the port, which could be used for hiding and monitoring the mirages.
The situation in the mirage these past few days can be said to be... quite unexpected.
Contrary to what Tianming Shaoyu expected, at this time when Songhai was under high martial law and the empire and the rebels were going crazy, Mirage, a place that should have attracted a lot of attention, turned out to be surprisingly calm and peaceful.
There is not even any additional manpower stationed at all. Everything looks the same as before the implementation of the Qinglong Plan. That is, when workers are delivering goods every day, additional soldiers will be sent to guard the port.
But we only care about the port side and don't worry about the mirage side at all.
Judging from the results, this is good news for Shilan. Their next actions against Mirage will not add additional risks.
But considering the situation itself, it is inevitably worrying.
This obviously abnormal situation makes it difficult not to wonder whether there is additional danger hidden behind it.
Hidden dangers and obvious obstacles, it is difficult to say which one brings greater risk.
Anyway, if Shi Lan was given the choice, she would still prefer to face the obvious obstacles.
The main reason is that at this time, it is very inconvenient for her to take action, and it is difficult to find out whether the empire has other plans secretly.
As time went by, Shi Lan felt more and more anxious, but she did not dare to act rashly.
………………
On the other side, Tianming and Shaoyu had already entered the city.
The operation went smoothly and didn't take too long. However, after entering the city, the two of them really felt how different Songhai was under martial law from the past.
Any piece of garbage floating past on an empty street would be extremely conspicuous, let alone a living person walking by.
A number of watchtowers have been temporarily built in the city. They are not long and crude, but they can perfectly fulfill the function of watch and surveillance.
Under such circumstances, one can imagine how difficult it is to move freely in the city without being monitored by watchtowers and patrolling soldiers who frequently come and go on the streets.
Even today, it is difficult for Ming Ming and Shao Yu to move.
The two of them could only observe the surrounding situation as carefully as possible and move towards the port bit by bit.
The two of them walked slowly and slowly for about half an hour, covering a circuitous distance of two or three miles.
After reaching the vicinity of the port, the two found a secluded corner to hide temporarily, but they couldn't hide forever because someone might come to check these corners at any time.
"This city looks like it's haunted, it's so outrageous!" Tianming lowered his voice and couldn't help complaining.
Shao Yu nodded in agreement, "My grandfather used to lead troops to fight, and the control in the military camp was not as strict as here!"
Tian Ming scratched his face with a headache, wondering why, "The key is that neither of us can move freely now. It's very troublesome to find someone!"
The two of them knew that Shi Lan had several safe houses near the port where she could hide, and she was probably hiding in a certain house now.
But they didn't know which house the person was in, so they had to look for them one by one.
"Take your time, what can we do?" Shao Yu spread his hands and replied helplessly.
At least they can still move, just slow down a little slower, the environment is like this, and you have to learn to adapt.
Shao Yu, who had been hiding from the empire's wanted people for many years, accepted this kind of trouble very quickly.
Tian Ming gritted his teeth after hearing this, but he had no choice but to accept the reality and squeeze out a reply from between his teeth:
"Okay, then hurry up!"
It happened that at this time, a patrolling soldier came to check the area where the two of them were hiding, and the two of them quickly moved away.
………………
In the room, Shi Lan was still observing the mirage, but suddenly she heard a faint sound coming from downstairs.
She didn't dare to neglect it, so she carefully picked up the dagger she carried with her and quietly went downstairs to check it out.
But before she even took two steps, Tianming and Shaoyu had already rushed upstairs.
Seeing clearly that two friends were coming, Shi Lan breathed a sigh of relief, quickly put away his weapon, and went up to greet him:
"You are here."
Shaoyu nodded, and then opened his mouth to defend himself, "I was injured before dawn, and it took some time to wait for him to recover."
Strictly speaking, it was Gao Jianli and others who held them back. Tianming's coma only lasted for two days, but there was no need to blame adults for such a trivial matter. It was more convenient for Tianming to take the blame directly.
When Shi Lan heard this, he immediately looked at Tianming, "How did you get injured? Have you recovered?"
Tian Ming waved his hand rather depressed, "It's a long story, I'll tell you in detail later, but don't worry, it's not a big problem, I've recovered."
Seeing that Tianming obviously didn't want to talk about this topic, Shi Lan didn't ask any more questions, and turned to care about Shao Yu and said:
"Tianming is injured, Shaoyu, where are you?"
Shao Yu wanted to fool him with a joke, but Tian Ming sold it to him directly:
"He was also injured, but it was just a trauma, just on his wrist. It wasn't serious. He has almost recovered."
Shi Lan nodded slightly and then asked, "Were all the injuries sustained that night?"
Tian Ming replied as loudly as ever, "Of course, we hid after that night and basically didn't do anything these days."
Shi Lan further asked, "What happened that night?"
"It's a long story... Do you want to tell me now?" Tianming asked with emotion.
