Dongfang Jue's heart was in his throat. Could it be?!

The Immortal Seeking Flowers and Willows is about to be discovered! He's probably hiding in the closet!

Yu Lan looked at Su Cheng and still thought it best to let her come. If something unexpected happened, Su Cheng's mortal body couldn't withstand it!

Swallowing hard, Yu Lan placed her hand on the cabinet armrest. Su Cheng seemed indifferent to this, simply nodding.

As far as Su Cheng was concerned, if it really was her, there would be no danger at all.

If it were her, most likely...

Yu Lan suddenly pulled open the cabinet door, but there was no fragrant beauty inside, only a few dirty clothes and some tools.

"Nobody here?" Yu Lan looked at Su Cheng with a puzzled expression, while Dongfang Jue breathed a sigh of relief and also looked at Su Cheng.

"That's good, no one's around." Su Cheng just smiled. If she were really caught, she wouldn't be herself.

"Nobody's here, that's correct, isn't it?"

"It's alright, we can't catch her anyway, let her play."

Su Cheng flicked his sleeves and walked back to the center of the military tent. He stood in front of the huge map, which was covered with scribbles and drawings. It was clear that Dongfang Jue had put a lot of effort into it.

After listening to the report from the scouts at the front, Su Cheng briefly inspected Dongfang Jue's army.

To put it simply, it's just about wandering around.

"Sect Leader Su, what is the meaning of your request to summon him out?"

"We need to use a series of stratagems to lure him out of the city." Su Cheng chuckled, already standing at the hitching post outside the tent, selecting horses.

"What should Jue'er do?" Dongfang Jue also had her own ideas, but she wanted to hear Su Cheng's suggestions more.

Luo An was no ordinary man; most ordinary schemes could not lure him out of the city. If he had not encountered danger at Lihe Pass, he would never have left the city.

Regardless of which side is attacked, the other side will rush to her aid as soon as they receive confirmation, attacking her from both sides.

"You come with me to challenge them. With me here, you can be as arrogant as you want."

Dongfang Jue didn't understand what kind of strategy this was. He figured that no matter how much he challenged them, they wouldn't leave the city!

Since Su Cheng said so, Dongfang Jue, adhering to the principle of trusting those he employs, immediately summoned his subordinates.

"Pass on my order!"

Upon hearing this, Su Cheng stopped Dongfang Jue, saying, "We don't need a single soldier; just you and I can go."

"Is that so? But even if they leave the city..."

He couldn't continue speaking halfway through his sentence.

It's said to be three people, but actually it's two, since Yu Lan is Long Long.

The three of them rode two horses to a point fifty meters below the city gate, where Dongfang Jue, following Su Cheng's instructions, began to challenge them.

"General Luo An! Do you dare to leave the city and challenge Jue'er to a duel?"

Before long, Luo An also arrived at the city wall with a smile, looking at Dongfang Jue from afar.

Luo An was a burly man with broad shoulders and a thick waist. He wore heavy armor and a golden helmet, and looked calmly at the three people below the city.

"Oh? It's been a long time, Your Highness. What brings you to visit this old minister at this time?"

The person on the red-maned horse was dressed in a chainmail armor with a lion's head, and a red fleece cloak with gold embroidery. She held a black iron spear and, upon closer inspection, was a woman with delicate features and a slightly handsome appearance.

The person beside her was a man, who was accompanied by a young girl, both riding tall horses.

The man was handsome, and the woman was beautiful. Their horses were also covered in black armor and had top-quality saddles, so it was clear that the two were not ordinary people.

The man also took a closer look at Su Cheng. He had a long sword hanging at his waist and his hair was tied up with a black rope. Although he didn't have any jewels or precious stones, he also didn't have any air of worldly life.

This must be the girl's helper, but I don't know who it is.

"Of course I'm here to take your dog's life! Do you dare come out of the city and fight me to the death?"

"Your Highness, this old minister has watched you grow up, how could I bear to hurt you?"

"Heh, so you're planning to cower in the city like a turtle and wait for me to drag you out?"

"Then I'll just wait for the princess to come and drag me down, hahaha!"

Su Cheng glanced at Dongfang Jue; although it was far worse than he had imagined...

But at least it can be considered a challenge.

"Jue'er, tell him to hide well. We will capture him alive within five days."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jue immediately felt inspired and then spoke up as Su Cheng had suggested.

"Heh heh, then you'd better wash your neck clean and wait. I will capture you alive within five days!"

"Alright, I'll be waiting for Your Highness!"

They addressed her as "Your Highness" repeatedly, which, though seemingly respectful, was actually a sign of utter contempt and humiliation for her being a woman.

Su Cheng understood, and Dongfang Jue understood as well.

"Alright, let's go." Su Cheng looked at Luo An, smiled, turned around, and slowly drove away.

Dongfang Jue quickly followed, "Sect Leader Su, shall we leave now?"

"The objective has been achieved; it's time to begin the next phase of planning."

As the two walked and talked, Dongfang Jue was also very curious about what good method Sect Leader Su had that could achieve victory without bloodshed.

"After Jue'er returns, send people to keep a close watch on all the entrances and exits of Yong'an City. Send more people to monitor them day and night. Arrest everyone who enters or leaves, regardless of age or gender."

"Why?"

"The reason why Luo An is so confident is that he knows that Jue'er's army will not last long, and Jue'er's attack will naturally be within the enemy's expectations. Attacking a prepared enemy will inevitably result in losses."

"What does this have to do with monitoring Yong'an City...? Is it to attack Lihe Pass?"

"Yes and no."

"Hmm? Sect Leader Su, stop keeping us in suspense!"

"Hehe, if Jue'er can think of this, then Luo An must have thought of it too. When he found out that none of the spies he sent out had returned, and then he thought of Jue'er's challenge."
