Chapter 721

Yet, he had not forgotten the primary purpose of his visit: to rescue the captives.

"Your Highness, what shall we do once night falls?"

A general leaned in close to Seeing Maoshi, wanting to know the arrangements for later.

So that he could pass down orders as soon as possible.

Seeing Maoshi turned his head away, no longer looking toward the Great Wall.

"It is impossible to trip over the same stone twice."

"Once night falls, we shall use the cover of darkness to send men in batches to scout for information."

"We cannot bunch together this time; if we get surrounded again, we might as well just go die."

Seeing Maoshi recalled his previous encounter, and his entire complexion soured.

One could also say that last time was due to carelessness.

This time, he had to be extremely vigilant.

If he were captured again, he would be too ashamed to ask his father to ransom him once more.

It would be no surprise if his tribesmen spat on him then.

"We have no choice but to rely on the cover of darkness."

"However, there is a question I do not know whether I should ask."

Seeing Maoshi looked at the general with suspicion.

"Speak your mind."

The general lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

"Your Highness, when the time comes, the sky will be so dark that we won't be able to see a thing!"

"We were never familiar with the inside of the Great Wall to begin with."

"If we go to scout at night, we won't even know the way."

They dared not enter during the day, so they could only rest here for the time being.

But they could not see at night either.

"Are you suggesting we go in during the day?"

"If you want to die, don't expect me to accompany you."

Seeing Maoshi gave a cold laugh.

If it weren't absolutely necessary, he wouldn't have wanted to come here at all.

Entering the city during the day was courting death.

At night, there was at least a glimmer of a chance.

"Pray that the stars are bright enough tonight!"

Upon hearing this, the general could only offer a helpless smile.

It seemed that was the only way.

However, Seeing Maoshi and his men thought they were acting in total secrecy.

But what they did not know was—

Great Qin possessed the Thousand-Mile Mirror!

Their arrival here had long since been discovered by the soldiers on the Great Wall. ===== CHAPTER 723 =====
