The moment Jiang Yun said that, the others fell silent.
Lin Kun had given them a map previously. He told them to follow the map and look for a place called the Tiger Base. From the map, they could tell they seemed to be near their destination, but they just couldn’t get out of the array formation.
“Let’s get out of the array formation first.”
Jiang Yun continued to search for a way to break out of the array formation.
Zhou Xing and the others stood on the gate wall and watched as Jiang Yun circled around in the array formation many times in confusion. They could not help but admire Xiao Jin’s array formation. Even if it could not completely trap the outsiders, it could still hold them back.
Jiang Yun was still circling around in the array formation when Meng Zi arrived with his men.
“Greetings, Area Chief.”
Meng Zi nodded and took the binoculars to look downward.
“These people look ragged and unkempt. They might have been exiled to the northern wilderness and made their way here.”
“Probably. But their team is a little too big. Usually, there are only around three hundred people on the exile team. But there seem to be thousands of them in this group at a glance?”
Meng Zi nodded. Su Ying had said before that they would expand their forces in the future. How would they expand? They would naturally have to recruit more people. However, if the other party was from the same gang, then recruiting them would be risky.
“All of you wait here. I’ll go and meet them.” Meng Zi put down the binoculars and turned around to go down the gate wall.
“Area Chief, there are so many of them. It’s too dangerous for you to go alone.”
However, Meng Zi said, “It’s fine. You guys just keep watch from above. If the situation doesn’t look good, just release the arrows.” Previously, Xiao Jin had explained the function and finer points of the array formation to him in detail. From the looks of things, the other party was not able to break out of the array formation. This way, even if a conflict occurred later, it would be easy for him to retreat unscathed since he had an understanding of the array formation.
Within the array formation, Jiang Yun’s face gradually displayed an excited expression after he circled around dozens of times.
“Leader, how is it? Have you found a way to crack the array formation?”
Jiang Yun said excitedly, “This… this is an array formation set up by His Highness. His Highness must be nearby!”
Everyone perked up when they heard that.
“Deputy General Jiang, how do you know that this array formation was set up by His Highness?”
“I’ve been by His Highness’s side for many years, and I’ve learned a little from him,” said Jiang Yun. He more or less knew some of the details and habits of Xiao Jin’s array formation.
“Then… then Deputy General, can you break out of this array formation?”
“This is a Delusional Array Formation. I’ve already understood the rules of the array formation just now. I’ll give it a try.”
Just as they were talking, a strange commotion suddenly came from behind them. Everyone immediately became wary.
“Who… who is it?”
At this moment, a firm and powerful voice came from the front. “Who are you guys? What are you doing here? Hurry up and leave. This is not a place you can come to.”
Jiang Yun could tell from the other party’s tone that although he was bold, he did not have any ill intentions.
“Hero, we have been exiled here. Now that the weather is so cold, we really have nowhere to go. I wonder if you can give us a place to stay?”
“Who are you? Where did you come from? Why were you exiled to this place?”
Jiang Yun did not answer. Instead, he asked, “May I ask if the array formation we’re in was set up by a person called Xiao Jin? We are all his subordinates.”
Jiang Yun’s words stunned Meng Zi for a moment. After pondering for a moment, he walked out from the darkness.
When Jiang Yun and the others saw Meng Zi appearing before them, they stared at him warily.
Meng Zi looked at them with his hands behind his back. “Who are you guys?”
“Chu State, Jin City’s garrison troops.”
Jin City was Xiao Jin’s fiefdom.
Meng Zi didn’t know what had happened in Jin City, but he could more or less guess what happened in the Imperial Court. Xiao Jin had been toppled, and his followers wouldn’t be let off either. In other words, it was not impossible that these people in front of him were genuinely Xiao Jin’s men.
However, it was also very likely that they were here to take Xiao Jin’s life.
“The person you are looking for is not here.”
“This array formation was clearly set up by His Highness. His Highness must be here, so I hope you can invite His Highness to come out and meet us, Hero.”
Meng Zi’s gaze fell on Jiang Yun’s face. He could see that even though he was in a sorry state, Jiang Yun still stood upright. His voice also had the bearing of a soldier. Even his accent was from the Chu State’s Jin City. Meng Zi believed him in his heart.
However, he still had to be cautious, just in case.
“I told you there is no such person here, so that’s the end. If you don’t leave, don’t blame me for taking action.”
Meng Zi’s aura sank, and he turned around and disappeared into the forest.
When Jiang Yun saw that Meng Zi had departed, he quickly ran after him.
However, just as Meng Zi said, he was familiar with the layout of the array formation. He shook his pursuer off very quickly and returned to the Tiger Base.
When he saw Meng Zi return, Zhou Xing hurriedly went forward to ask about the situation.
“Area Chief, how is it?”
Meng Zi frowned and said, “It’s very likely they are Master Xiao’s followers, but I’m not sure. Send someone to Sky Alpha City immediately to look for Master Xiao and let him confirm it personally.”
“Yes, Sir.”
There were also people in the Tiger Base who had followed Su Ying and the others to Sky Alpha City to take a look before, but they had decided to return to live in the Tiger Base eventually. These people all knew the location of Sky Alpha City.
After Zhou Xing found these people, he immediately got them to send this urgent message.
In the Sky Alpha City, Su Ying went to the mausoleum alone and stored all the gold, silver, and jewelry in her interspatial store. There were only two stone doors here, so it would be too easy for others to come in and take these things away. She even dug out the gems embedded in the coffin of the first empress!
Although all aspects of Sky Alpha City’s construction were not bad, the city had been around for a long time after ail. In addition, it had been decades since normal people had lived here. There were many places that needed to be improved, and all of these activities needed money!
Su Ying left the mausoleum satisfied after digging out every single gemstone in there.
As soon as she returned to the palace, she saw Xiao Jin walking out.
“Where are you going?” Su Ying called out to him.
Xiao Jin stopped in his tracks and turned around, saying, “I’m going back to the Tiger Base for a while. Uncle Meng sent someone to tell me that some people have arrived. I’m going to confirm if they are my men.”
“Your men?”
Xiao Jin nodded. “I’ll be back soon.”
After Xiao Jin left Sky Alpha City, he sped back to the Tiger Base on his horse.
Su Ying’s group usually entered from the slope behind the Tiger Base. By the time he reached the gate wall, the sky had already darkened.
“Master Xiao, you are here.”
Meng Zi had been guarding the gate wall. When he saw Xiao Jin, he handed him the binoculars. “Take a look. They said they are the garrison troops of the Chu State’s Jin City.”
Xiao Jin picked up the binoculars and saw Jiang Yun, who was still trying to crack the array formation.
“They are my men. Open the gate and let them in.”
Meng Zi immediately asked the people below to open the gate.
Xiao Jin turned around and walked into the array formation.
“Deputy General Jiang.”
Jiang Yun stood rooted to the ground in shock when he heard Xiao Jin’s voice..
