Seeing the guard Zhang, summoned by Chief Secretary Xie, slowly approaching with a faint smile on his face, he asked, "Chief Secretary Xie, what's wrong?"

What's wrong?

Something terrible has happened!

Chief Secretary Xie's face turned pale, and he pulled Guard Zhang aside to whisper, "His Highness is going to take these wild beasts to attack the city, and he's even made a plan."

Now it was Guard Zhang's turn to be dumbfounded.

Xie Changshi, who had previously felt that the matter was urgent and needed to be resolved immediately, couldn't help but chuckle to himself after seeing the expression on Zhang Shiwei's face.

It's definitely more fun to watch others do that ugly thing, with their eyes wide open and mouth agape.

He cleared his throat and continued, "I can't persuade His Highness, now it's up to you."

Guard Zhang took a step back: "If you can't persuade me, what can I persuade you of?"

His Highness has always listened to Chief Secretary Xie the most, but now he's not even listening to Chief Secretary Xie anymore, which clearly means he's made up his mind.

Chief Secretary Xie pulled him aside again: "You should try to persuade His Highness to abandon this absurd idea by talking about military strategy."

Guard Zhang rolled his eyes in annoyance: "Your Highness and I studied military strategy together, but Mr. Huo prefers Your Highness. In your opinion, if Your Highness and I discuss this matter in terms of military strategy, who would be more persuasive to whom?"

Chief Secretary Xie paused slightly as he stroked his beard: "So, these beast legions have to be mobilized?"

Guard Zhang remained silent, walked towards Gu Yuzhi, and then sat down cross-legged: "Your Highness, Chief Secretary Xie has already told me your thoughts. There are many wild beasts, and Chief Secretary Xie's concerns are not without reason."

Seeing that Gu Yuzhi was about to speak, Guard Zhang said in a low voice, "I support your idea. After all, with them as the vanguard, these city guards who have never seen the world will definitely be scared out of their wits. Maybe we won't even have to lift a finger and we can take Jiangzhou City safely."

Gu Yuzhi turned to look at him, her eyes sparkling as she nodded vigorously: "That's right, that's right! That's exactly what I think! Although it's possible that the city guards or civilians might act out of fear, I think they'll be more likely to hide out of fear!"

He snorted: "So we need to pick a time, a time when none of these people can hide."

The situation in Jiangnan is quite chaotic now, so the city's garrison will certainly not be as lazy and asleep as the navy on Houhu Island, waiting for their men to slit their throats.

Therefore, compared to humans, wild animals are more likely to sneak into Jiangzhou City silently.

Gu Yuzhi stood up and looked behind Xue Ye. He immediately saw several pure black wild beasts: leopards, wolves, and even pythons!

His eyes lit up again, and he poked the little white thing on his wrist: "Little white thing, look at that python! Does that python listen to you or Xueye?"

Whoever you listen to, let them have this python!

Gu Yuzhi glanced at Xue Ye, then at Xiao Bai, and after thinking for a moment, he still hoped that the python would listen to Xiao Bai, since Xiao Bai was white but very small.

With the snow so white and his large size, he would definitely be spotted by the soldiers if he got close to the city wall!

Upon hearing Gu Yuzhi's question, Xiaobai suddenly stood up, its tongue flicking out, its vertical pupils staring unblinkingly at Xueye.

Despite its tiny size, it exudes an aura of impending battle.

Xueye was naturally not afraid of this little guy. She shook her head and stood up, narrowed her green eyes slightly, gripped the ground with her front paws, and slightly opened her mouth to reveal her fangs, looking like she was about to attack.

The wolf and the snake watched each other silently, neither making the first move.

Gu Yuzhi blinked, completely bewildered by what had happened. Why were these two about to start fighting?

At the critical moment, the black python swiftly slithered over and lay between Xueye and Xiaobai. It first hissed at Xueye for a while before turning to look at Xiaobai and making a gesture of submission.

Little White was full of arrogance, its already upright posture became even straighter, and its slightly drooping head was raised high, as if it had already won.

Gu Yuzhi patted Xiaobai's head in delight: "Xiaobai, you're so amazing!"

He muttered to himself, "You're so small, and that black python is so big, yet it listens to you!"

He gave Xiaobai a thumbs up, then waved to Chief Secretary Xie: "Chief Secretary Xie, come here quickly!"

Chief Secretary Xie has a map of Jiangzhou, as well as the residence of the prefect identified by the captured city guards, and the homes of the two advisors.

He believed that as long as Xiaobai infiltrated, Xiaobai would definitely be able to find these places.

The only problem is that there are no portraits of the two staff members.

Xie Changshi resigned himself to his fate and was about to unfold the map when Xue Ye suddenly pushed him aside, howling pitifully at Gu Yuzhi. Meanwhile, Xiao Bai's mouth stretched even wider, and even its hissing sound seemed to be mocking him.

Gu Yuzhi nodded repeatedly, then tapped Xiaobai's head with a helpless expression before walking to Xueye's side and gently stroking its head: "It's alright, it's alright! We didn't lose because of our strength, but because of our race. It's okay."

Chief Secretary Xie wasn't here just now; he looked completely bewildered and had no idea what the young prince was talking about.

Shu Xiaohan couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked, "Young Prince, what is Xueye talking about? What do you mean by losing because of race?"

Gu Yuzhi covered his mouth and chuckled secretly, then said after a while, "Xue Ye said that Xiao Bai is a snake..."

He tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Royal family. The aura on Xiaobai has a natural suppressive effect on snakes, no matter what kind of snake they are. So this black python will definitely listen to Xiaobai."

Shu Xiaohan exclaimed "Oh!" as if she had just realized something, then her eyes widened in surprise.

It was only at this point that Shu Xiaohan had to admit that the world she had chosen might not be a simple ancient world.

She pursed her lips and thought for a moment. Anyway, it was a fictional world that didn't exist in history books. It had a bit of a fantasy element, so it didn't seem that strange.

While Shu Xiaohan was still in shock, Xie Changshi finally opened the map. Gu Yuzhi had Xiaobai coiled in his palm and muttered in a small voice, "We are now in Xizhimen, right here."

As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the official road and the city gate: "After entering through Xizhimen, walk straight ahead until you reach here..."

As he spoke to Xiaobai, he nodded his little head, looking as if he already understood.

The mortal enemy is right across the street, and even if Xiaobai is lazy or greedy, he would never do it at this time.

It glanced quickly at the snowy night, then focused its gaze on the map, trying its best to remember the things its master had told it, despite its small brain capacity.
