C1201

Pang Li was familiar with the road, so she naturally had her own ways. After hiding behind a house close to the moat, she calmly took off her backpack, placed it on the ground, and skillfully opened it. Then, she raised her head and asked, "Wait, which one of you will accompany the King into the waterway?"

Cheng Jin took the lead and said: "I'll go!"

Pang Li looked at him strangely and asked, "Didn't General Cheng say he didn't know how to swim?"

Cheng Jin looked at Tang Yin and said: "But I can still hold my breath. Besides, the King does not know how to swim." If his brothers from below had entered, it would have been fine if Cheng Jin was waiting outside. But now that Tang Yin wanted to go in person, how would he dare not stay by his side?

Tang Yin doesn't know water too?! Pang Li looked at Tang Yin in shock. The latter laughed and said: "Just as Cheng Jin had said, not knowing how to swim is nothing, as long as you can hold your breath."

Pang Li laughed bitterly and shook her head, then asked the other four: "Are the four of you also going to enter?"

Without waiting for them to reply, Cheng Jin said: "Liu Yang, Li Yao, Yan Li, Ding Yong, stay outside to guard!"

Pang Li had no objection to his arrangement. Lowering her head, he took out four pieces of oily paper and passed them over to Tang Yin and Cheng Jin. Tang Yin did not understand, and asked: "What is this?"

"Once we enter the waterway, the King will naturally find out!" As she spoke, she took out a cloak from his bag and quickly draped it over his shoulders.

Tang Yin curiously looked up and down. The cloak was ordinary, but it seemed a little fat, tightly wrapping around Pang Li who was not considered petite. What was most incompatible was that the cloak's color was too earthy, it was a real earthen color, and there were some spots on it. After he finished reading, Tang Yin suddenly realised that she was using his cape as a disguise to get close to the moat under the watchful eyes of the guards.

Hm! Tang Yin secretly nodded his head as he praised his brilliantly in his heart. To be able to think of a disguise technique in this era, Pang Li could be considered a rare girl. He casually put away the oil paper bag that Pang Li had given him and asked: "When are we leaving?"

"Not now!" Pang Li walked to the corner and slowly stuck her head out, looking at the city walls opposite him, she said in a low voice: "Right now, the Spirit Cultivator in charge of observation are still here, the moment we approach the moat, we will be discovered by the defending army!"

"Then how long will it take?" Tang Yin asked.

"Wait until the person in charge of releasing Clear Vision has left." Pang Li replied.

"And if the other person stays all night?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Then we can only give up today." Pang Li turned around and smiled at Tang Yin, saying, "But your majesty, don't worry. There are three people, and the Spirit Cultivator that released Clear Vision can't be here all the time. He will definitely give us an opportunity to strike."

Tang Yin shrugged and muttered, "I hope so ?"

Just as they were feeling disheartened, Pang Li who was on sentry duty at the corner suddenly waved her hand and said: "The Spirit Cultivator on the city wall has left, now, quickly leave!" With that, she crawled to the ground and covered her body with the cloak before quickly crawling towards the moat.

Tang Yin, Cheng Jin and the two Hidden Arrow Crew looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

The four of them covered themselves with spirit armor and most of their bodies were submerged in the water. Their ten fingers were like nails as they deeply embedded themselves into the river bank so that their bodies wouldn't sink to the bottom of the river.

On the other side, Pang Li was in a much more hair-raising situation than Tang Yin and the others. Although her body was covered with a cloak that was the same color as the ground, she still had to crawl. Every time there was a guard on the city wall looking out, she would immediately stop crawling and stay in place, not moving at all.

Pang Li was actually able to reach the moat right under the nose of the defending army. After she dove into the river, she let out a long breath, swam to the other side, and approached Tang Yin's group of four. She said in a low voice: "The entrance to the waterway is right under the river.

Everyone nodded their heads, Tang Yin indicated to her, and quickly led the way.

Pang Li did not delay any longer. She pulled Tang Yin's arm and dove into the water of the moat. Just as Pang Li had said, the moat was so dark that one couldn't even see one's own fingers when looking at it. Other people might not be able to see, but Tang Yin possessed the Night-vision Eye and could still see everything clearly.

He grabbed Pang Li with one hand and Cheng Jin with the other as he dived towards the bottom of the moat. Finally, he saw a round hole as thick as two people in the wall of the river. Pang Li swam in first, pulled her along, and followed along. When he went through the hole, he could clearly see that there were iron bars cut off by sharp weapons, it was clear that it used to have metal fences, but it was cut by someone, thus it became a path that could be passed through freely.

After entering the hole, it became completely pitch black. Even Tang Yin who had Night-vision Eye s could only see a distance of around 3 metres.

After swimming upwards for a while, Pang Li finally surfaced with her hand holding onto Tang Yin. The moment she floated out, Tang Yin instinctively inhaled deeply, and as a result, he breathed in all the food he had eaten yesterday, and almost vomited all of it out.

The waterway was truly too smelly. There was the stench of excrement, moldy rot, and damp. The combination of all sorts of smells was enough to make one faint. Pang Li was very experienced, even when her head appeared from the water, she did not immediately take a deep breath. First, she took out a fire piston, blew on it, and inserted it into the rotten mud on the wall.

Seeing that, Tang Yin finally understood what the Oil Paper Bag was used for. Following Pang Li's example, he scattered the Spirit Armor and took out the Oil Paper Bag, tearing off the Oil Paper, and quickly tied a cloth towel inside it to her nose and mouth.

The cloth had clearly been specially treated. There was a faint fragrance coming from it. It was not strong, but it completely covered up the stench coming from the water.

This made Tang Yin let out a long breath of relief. Luckily he had Pang Li gave him this cloth, otherwise he would not be able to stay in the water for even a second.0

Very quickly, Cheng Jin and the other two Hidden Arrow Crew s appeared one after the other. Cheng Jin was just as inexperienced as Tang Yin, as he floated up to the surface and subconsciously inhaled, causing his face to turn red as if he had swallowed a fly.

Tang Yin pointed to the cloth on his face and said: "Quickly put on the cloth that Miss Pang gave you!"

Cheng Jin was stunned for a moment before reacting, and quickly took out an oily paper package.

Tang Yin took the chance to look around him. The space here was long and narrow, its width could only fit one person, and looking ahead, there was a pitch black cave in front with a diameter of around half a meter. He asked Pang Li who was in front of him: "Is that the waterway you were talking about?"

"That's right!" Pang Li turned around and smiled sweetly to Tang Yin, then said: "The environment inside is much worse than here, and also much dirtier.

Tang Yin said indifferently: "Miss Pang, please lead the way."

Hearing his resolute tone, Pang Li did not say anymore and took the lead to dive into the waterway. Tang Yin followed closely behind. What Pang Li said was right, the dirtiness of the water was such that Tang Yin was no longer able to describe it with words.

The surrounding walls were filled with rotting mud and filth, and there were even feces hanging from them. When his palm pressed against the ground, they became soft, and his ten fingers would sink into the mud and filth. Even with the spirit armor covering his body, he still felt a wave of disgust.

This was the first time Tang Yin regretted making such a decision. If he had known about the situation inside the water, he really wouldn't have insisted to come here. Now that he was inside, it was useless to regret. He could only bite the bullet and follow Pang Li.

This stretch of waterway could be said to be the most disgusting path Tang Yin had ever walked in his entire life. In the end, he was already numb to it and even his nose had temporarily lost its smell.

It seemed as if a century had passed before dim light finally appeared in front of him. Tang Yin's mind shook greatly as he hurriedly said to Pang Li in front of him. "It's almost the exit, quickly crawl ?"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Pang Li hissed, turned her head slightly, and reminded him in a low voice: "This is the palace!"

No matter where it was, Tang Yin didn't want to linger in the waterway for even a moment. He raised his head to indicate to Pang Li that she should crawl out first before anything else.

When he finally crawled out of the waterway, the first thing Tang Yin did was to remove his spirit armor. Then, he took off the mask on his face and raised his head to take a big gulp of fresh air. Cheng Jin and the two Hidden Arrow Crew s who followed closely behind were also in the same state.

After recuperating for a good while, Tang Yin's mental state was finally pulled back from the brink of collapse. It was a small courtyard. Although the ground was quite clean and there were no junk on it, the square brick was filled with stains, especially at the exit of the waterway. It was so dark that it shone brightly. Looking around again, the courtyard was filled with a lot of junk, mostly junk. Presumably, this was the palace's trash room.

In order to confirm her location, he asked Pang Li in a low voice: "Can I go out and take a look now?"

Pang Li made a gesture of 'wait' to him before lifting her leg and walking lightly to the courtyard door. First, he listened for outside movements for a while, then slowly pulled open the door and peeked out through the crack for a good while.

Tang Yin followed her out of the courtyard, and looked around. In the darkness of the night, he could vaguely see many tall and imposing buildings, and the most captivating thing was that on the east side of the palace, there was an extremely tall platform structure, to which Tang Yin was not unfamiliar. From the observation tower of the Allied Army Camp, he could see the structure, and it was the extremely famous' Heavenly Altar 'that was constructed in the center of the Zhen Country Palace.

Through the Heaven Seeking Platform and its location, Tang Yin could confirm that this was indeed the Zhen Country Palace, and at the same time, confirm that the waterway's exit was located on the west side of the palace.
