In addition, Tang Miaoxin also had to worry about being discovered by Zhao Yan's people.
Even though she was always very resourceful, in this situation, she couldn't think of a good way to break the situation.
She leaned against the wall of the trap to save her energy.
She didn't know if everyone in the First City had seen her warning.
She doesn't know what the situation is like outside now.
She silently piled fallen leaves from the ground trap on her body to keep herself warm and not freeze to death here.
Zhao Yan was stabbed so hard by Tang Miaoxin's knife that there was a big hole in his stomach and he was bleeding.
He didn't expect that she would stab him directly, and he felt angry and aggrieved.
She was the only one in his heart, but she stabbed him with a knife!
More than half of the guards he brought over were dead or injured, so he had to go down the mountain quickly to find someone to treat him.
As the guards carried him down the mountain, he saw the billowing smoke, and his expression suddenly changed.
He also knew the First City fairly well and knew that their response speed was very fast.
This thick smoke will definitely arouse the vigilance of the First City!
He gritted his teeth and said, "How long will it take for all of our people to cross the Benma River?"
The guard next to him replied: "It will take about an hour and a half."
They started crossing the river last night. Because crossing the river was difficult and there were many people coming, it took a long time to cross the river.
Zhao Yan said in a deep voice: "Tang Miaoxin has sent out a signal. Although the First City doesn't know what we are going to do, they will definitely be alert."
"This is the territory of the First City, we can only take it by surprise."
"Once they react, we will be in a passive position."
"Notify me, change my plan, and act immediately!"
The guards behind him responded, took out the flares they had prepared and sent them out.
The moment their signal flares were sent out, the people he placed in the first city were immediately ready to take action.
These people have been in the First City for a long time, some for more than ten years, some for several years.
In addition, there are side branches of the First City to cover them. They have always been very secretive in the First City, and no one has noticed anything unusual about them.
And because they have been in the First City for a long time, some of them have reached a high position.
They know that the first city is a great formation for success and a great formation for defeat.
As long as they activate the grand formation in reverse, the grand formation alone can destroy the first city.
It is not an easy task to activate the first city's formation, and it requires the cooperation of many people.
At the beginning, the people of Qi State only activated the small formation at Kuye Temple, and it took a lot of effort.
What they have to do this time is much more difficult than what the people of Qi had to do back then.
Fortunately, Zhao Yan had made a very complete plan for them before, and they still had a good chance of doing this.
They only need to sneak into the control center, pull the huge wrench, and rotate it according to a certain pattern.
Zhao Yan also placed someone in the control center.
According to the plan, that person will kill the people staying with him in the control center and then let them in.
Zhao Yan suffered from severe abdominal pain. He knew that going down the mountain at this time would easily expose him, and it would be safer to stay in the forest.
He had already communicated with his subordinates on how to communicate. Here he could see the movements of the First City, making it easier for him to command.
He then said: "We won't go down the mountain anymore, we will take command here."
"This time, we will definitely win the first city!"
The guards beside him looked worried: "But Your Majesty, your injuries..."
"It doesn't matter." Zhao Yan said solemnly: "The injury has stopped bleeding. I can't die for the time being."
"It should be too late to treat the injuries after the first city is captured."
After he said this, the guards stopped trying to persuade him and just gave him medicine.
Zhao Yan glanced at the wounds on his body, and then at the first city, where he clenched his hands into fists.
He is bound to win the first city.
At this time, he just regretted bringing Tang Miaoxin to see what happened at the Benma River and letting her know in advance.
He thinks she is heartless. He has gone so far for her, but she is not even touched!
He will definitely catch her after he destroys the first city, and then it will be her turn to beg him.
And by then, he won't accept her easily.
While Tang Miaoxin was lighting fallen leaves to create thick smoke, Su Wenbai was patrolling the city.
He had just caught a thief, kicked the thief to the ground, tied the thief's hands with a rope and said, "Let's see what you can do!"
"You are a thief who has good skills and feet. This is a bad intention."
The thief was beaten until he knelt down and begged for mercy.
Su Wenbai asked the soldiers around him to take the thief back to the Yamen and teach him how to behave.
The soldier beside him pointed blankly in the direction of the mountain forest and said: "Sir, there is a fire on the mountain!"
Su Wenbai looked in the direction of his finger and saw a thick plume of smoke rising into the sky.
The First City is surrounded by mountains, and they attach great importance to forest fire prevention. There have not been many forest fires in recent years.
Su Wenbai immediately said: "What are you still waiting for? Go and put out the fire!"
The soldier responded and immediately organized nearby people to put out the fire together.
Su Wenbai ran in the direction of the thick smoke. After running for a while, he felt something was wrong.
Because the thick smoke looked very fierce, but there was no sign of fire.
The most important thing is that the thick smoke has always stopped in one place and has no tendency to expand at all.
Su Wenbai had seen forest fires before. Normal forest fires should not look like this.
It's more like using smoke as a warning.
He was very familiar with the First City and knew that the mountain was the back mountain of Wangxiu Mountain.
He suddenly remembered that Tang Miaoxin had made an appointment with Zhao Yan and Zhao Ye to visit Wangxiushan today.
When Tang Miaoxin went out to play with them while staying in the First City, she once said about using smoke as a warning in case of danger.
He couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart, and immediately said to the soldiers beside him: "You guys go to the city lord's mansion immediately to report that something happened to my cousin!"
Although he doesn't know what happened now, he feels that this kind of thing should be handled with caution.
After all, Zhao Yan and Zhao Ye, the two princes of the Zhao Kingdom, are not good birds at first glance.
Tang Miaoxin went out with them, but used thick smoke to warn them that something must have happened.
In his opinion, even if the smoke was not caused by Tang Miao's intention and it turned out to be an unlucky incident, it didn't matter.
At times like this, it's right to be careful.
He led the soldiers on horseback and ran quickly to the mountainside.
Su Xiaotian was in the control room and did not see the thick smoke billowing outside. He continued to build the formation as before.
He has been practicing the Grand Formation for two years. He is not very talented in this area, but he still studies hard. Two years is enough for him to understand the structure of the Grand Formation.
