After being dragged along in the water, Zhao Cheng kept waving back at Tuo Tiewuhua and shouting, "Don't just stand there, hurry up and catch up!"
"Don't make us too big a target, or we'll get ourselves into trouble!" Zhao Cheng pointed to the arrow boat moored on the shore.
After removing the plaster, Wu Hua's face was covered in black lines, and he looked terrible.
Your Highness, you have someone with whips like oars under your command, someone who can turn himself into a human engine... I don't have anyone like that!
Although they spend most of their time by Wei Lake and are decent swimmers, none of them are as freakish as your men!
You also want me to keep my goals from being too high...
What am I supposed to do?
Are you going to tie yourselves together with all one hundred of my brothers and jump into the lake to drown?
The problem is that it's not easy to find a rope this long!
Never mind, the rope isn't the key point...
"It seems that His Highness knew you had such extraordinary talents under your command before sending you here. His Highness is truly wise!"
After silently praising the champion in his heart, Tuo Tiewuhua immediately gestured and said, "Board the boat!"
After the dozen or so arrow boats were filled with people, Tuo Tiewuhua ordered, "Move straight towards the opposite bank. Remember, we must remain just a small black dot in their line of sight. Also, everyone lie down, and if you need to urinate, urinate in your pants!"
Someone asked, "Do you need to poop?"
Tuo Tiewu shouted, "Get down now!"
"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed.
"Alright, I know this mission is arduous. Releasing the pressure is enough. From now on, focus all your attention! If we lose, I will fight and die with you on the other side. I will never abandon you to live on. If we win, we will bring Yang Qingzhi back and achieve great military merit that will bring glory to our ancestors!"
"yes!!!"
The arrow boats were indeed very fast, and they were about to overtake Zhao Cheng and his men. Tuo Tie Wuhua thought for a moment and shouted, "All arrow boats, shift one mile to the east and create distance between us and the Prince Consort. That way, even if we are discovered, they will still have a chance to land!"
...
The timing of Tuo Tiewuhua's departure was good; as they split into two groups and took the waterway, the sun finally came out.
As the sunlight grew stronger, its reflection on the lake surface caused the sentries and patrolmen on the shore to squint and shield their eyes, whether looking at the sky or the lake. Since there weren't many patrols at the location chosen by Tuo Tiewuhua, no one from the Southern Zhou forces noticed them.
The arrow boat was faster, and Tuo Tiewuhua landed first, quietly moving towards Zhao Cheng's landing point.
After Zhao Cheng and the others got ashore, they first let Gan Lang lie down and rest, and then had Zhao Wu and Yu Jin give him a massage.
Gan Lang's lips were pale, and he was sweating profusely all over; he was truly exhausted.
If he were alone, crossing Weihu Lake back and forth would be a piece of cake, but dragging five big men along... that's a bit of a challenge for him.
Perhaps out of respect for Gan Lang, or perhaps because Xu An was not around, Yu Jin tacitly accepted this massage work that went beyond her responsibilities, and did not ask for more money.
"Master." The water plants on the shore swayed a few times, and a figure ran over lightly.
"Xiaofei, how are you?" Zhao Cheng squeezed Yuan Fei's hand, and felt relieved to see that he was safe and sound.
After agreeing to Yuan Zhang's request yesterday, Zhao Cheng sent Yuan Fei to sneak across to the other side at night. Yuan Fei didn't travel by water, but instead used his superb lightness skill to climb over the bridge.
Even with his exceptional lightness skills, he still ventured deep into enemy territory alone, making it one of the most dangerous missions.
However, Zhao Cheng had no choice but to make this arrangement, as Yuan Fei's role was crucial in figuring out Yang Qingzhi's whereabouts.
"I'm fine."
Yuan Fei, as if he wanted to talk about work first and nothing else, said seriously, "After I crossed the shore last night, I investigated all night. After I got the results, I hid in a crevice in the rocks and took a nap."
"There's already a result?" Zhao Cheng was somewhat surprised.
Yuan Fei nodded and said, "It's the target military tent to the east."
Zhao Cheng looked east and said, "It's between us and Tuotie Wuhua. Xiao Fei, are you sure?"
Yuan Fei said with certainty, "I saw Yang Qingzhi."
Zhao Cheng asked suspiciously, "You know him?"
Yuan Fei said, "The Jade-Faced Little Commander likes to pet cats. Although I don't recognize him, judging from his features, clothes and temperament, it must be him."
“Let’s go meet with Tuo Tie Wu Hua!” Zhao Cheng didn’t hesitate any longer and immediately walked eastward. He then turned back and said, “Gan Lang, you rest a little longer. Yu Jin, you stay here with him.”
"yes."
After removing the black flower sticker, Zhao Cheng encountered them after walking only a few dozen steps.
Seeing that Zhao Cheng was about to speak, Tuo Tiewuhua quickly made a shushing gesture, first pointing upwards and then pointing behind Zhao Cheng.
Zhao Cheng understood, and the group returned to the landing point where Zhao Cheng and the others had landed.
Tuo Tiewuhua said, "There were sentries all over there just now."
Zhao Cheng asked, "Then where do we go up from? Are we just going to stay hidden in the seaweed forever?"
"Cats are safest in the water plants. Let's wait until you find out Yang Qingzhi's location before we talk about it."
"We've already detected it."
Tuo Tiewuhua was stunned and exclaimed, "You must be joking!"
"Are you kidding me when it comes to risking your life?" Zhao Cheng pointed at Yuan Fei and said, "He doesn't look familiar, does he? He's one of the brothers I sent over last night. He's already seen Yang Qingzhi."
"Really?" Tuo Tiewuhua still couldn't believe it.
Yuan Fei said, "The target military tent is to the east, which is why we just headed east."
"Impressive..." Tuo Tie Wuhua looked at Zhao Cheng and exclaimed, "It seems that His Highness knew you had such an extraordinary person under your command before sending you here. His Highness is truly wise!"
Zhao Cheng slapped Tuo Tiewuhua on the head without any politeness and said, "Is this the time to secretly flatter your master? The target has been found, my mission is complete, go and arrest him!"
