"The method to break through the city you're referring to is ?" Xiao Muqing leaned forward and stared at Tan Liu without blinking.

Tan Liu swallowed his saliva, and said carefully: "There is a secret passage that allows you to infiltrate Red Dragon Altar City without anyone knowing."

"Oh?" Xiao Muqing's eyes lit up, there was actually such a passage! but when he thought about it again, he felt that something was amiss. The surroundings of the Red Dragon Altar had already been investigated countless times by the spies of the Yu Army and their own side. He straightened his body, narrowed his eyes, and said with a sneer: "Tan Liu, are you bullying this marshal's ignorance?"

Tan Liu's body trembled, he immediately kowtowed and said: "This little one does not dare, this little one does not dare, there is indeed a secret passage to the city. "Right now, the city has long since been sealed. The reason I'm able to come out of the city is because of this secret passageway."

Xiao Muqing took a deep breath and subconsciously clenched his fists as he said word by word, "Tell me in detail where this passage is located. If it is confirmed, not only will this commander not kill you, but I will also heavily reward you!"

"This ?" Tan Liu's face looked troubled, but his prophecy came to a halt.

The hearts of the surrounding General of Feng Country s rose to their throats, they anxiously shouted: "Speak! "Speak!"

Tan Liu suppressed the fear in his heart and stuttered: "It is not difficult for me to point out the location of the passage, I only request that General Xiao agree to my condition."

"What condition?"

"After destroying the city, don't kill my master, and ask Feng King to use my master more."

Even if Lu She didn't die at Peng Cheng's hands, it was still somewhat related to him. With the King's love for Lu She, to be able to let him go was fortunate, but to still need to use him heavily, how was that possible?

However, if he did not agree to Tan Liu's request, he would most likely not reveal the location of the secret passage. Thinking about this, he nodded and said, "This marshal can only guarantee that after destroying the city, this marshal will not kill your master. As for whether the king can be used again, that will not be within the scope of this marshal's control. However, this marshal will do his best in front of the King. "

After Tan Liu heard this, he was overjoyed. He kowtowed again and said, "Thank you General Xiao, I thank you General Xiao!"

Xiao Muqing waved his hand and asked: "Now, can you speak?"

Tan Liu said with a stern expression: "Reporting to General Xiao, the secret passage is right on top of Scarlet Dragon Mountain."

"Oh?" Xiao Muqing raised his eyebrows, and said: "Our spies have also investigated the Scarlet Dragon Mountain in detail, but we did not find any secret passage."

"The location of the passageway is extremely secretive. Even the natives who have lived in the Red Dragon Altar for generations don't know where this passageway is, so ?" Tan Liu looked around at the surrounding General of Feng Country, scratched her head and said, "That's why when Your Army's scouts looked around, they didn't find the secret passage that they were looking for."

After hearing this, all the surrounding General of Feng Country were furious. However, Xiao Muqing threw his head back and laughed out loud as he nodded his head: "What you said makes sense." Pausing for a moment, he then asked, "Where are Xu Bai and Hou Yuan?"

"This lowly general is here!" Following that, two deputy Generals stepped out and greeted Xiao Muqing.

"The two of you follow Tan Liu and see what the situation is with the secret passage. After finding out everything, quickly return to the camp and report to me!"

"This lowly general obeys your command!" Xu Bai and the two generals brought Tan Liu out of the Central Army Tent. Right after they left, all the generals present said excitedly, "General, the heavens are truly helping our army! As long as our troops can secretly infiltrate the city, even if the enemy forces inside the city numbers more, taking over Red Dragon Altar will be as easy as flipping my hand. "

Xiao Muqing was naturally happy too, but he was much calmer than the other generals. "Don't be so excited, everyone! Firstly, let's not talk about the authenticity of the secret passage that Tan Liu had mentioned, even if it is true, how do you know that it is not a trick of Mo Army? If there is a trick involved, then wouldn't our army face imminent disaster? "

Ah? His bucket of cold water made all the generals gasp. That's right! Tan Liu said that Peng Cheng did not kill Lu She because he wanted to rely on his own side, but with a few words, no matter what he said, who knew if the truth was as he said. If it was really a trick and they believed it to be true, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"General, in your opinion, this Tan Liu ? Is it a human or a ghost? "

Xiao Muqing burst out laughing, and said: "I don't have any Sky Eye, so how can I tell if he's a human or a ghost? However, based on my understanding of the Master Lu, he would definitely not fall into Peng Cheng's trap easily, and there might be some hidden secrets behind it."

When everyone heard him, they also felt somewhat at a loss. The excitement that they had just experienced was completely erased. All of their eyebrows were tightly knitted as they fell into deep thought.

That night, Xu Bai and Hou Yuan brought Tan Liu back to the Feng Army Camp. The two of them first settled Tan Liu down, then came to see Xiao Muqing and report the details to him. What Tan Liu said was not false, there really was a secret passage in the Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range.

This secret path was located at the mountainside of the Crimson Dragon Mountain. It was a long cave, and the cave penetrated the mountain, passing from one side of the mountain to the other.

It was very difficult to find out whether this cave was formed naturally or artificially, Tan Liu could not say for sure, but in short, it had been here for a long time.

As for how to climb it, there were some iron spikes nailed to the cliff face below the cave entrance, allowing people to climb up bit by bit. Because there were not many iron spikes, the protrusion was not very obvious, and with the same color as the mountain rocks, it was hard to find it even if you went closer. This was also the reason why this secret passageway was not known to others.

It could be said that even if a normal person knew the location of the iron spikes, it would still be very difficult for them to climb up.

Hearing that, Xiao Muqing spread out his hands, and said: "According to you two, the number of people in my army that can pass through the secret passage can only be up to a few hundred?"

"No, no, no!" Hou Yuan hurriedly shook his head and explained, "As long as one brother climbs up first and throws down the rope, the other brothers can easily climb up."

"Yes!" Xiao Muqing nodded, then confirmed again: "The mountain cave can indeed go all the way to the Red Dragon Altar side?"

"Sure, I've seen it with my own eyes." Xu Bai said in a serious tone, "After passing through the cave, we will go to the other side of the cave entrance. All of our town is in our eyes, and we can vaguely see the internal arrangements of the city walls."

"What's going on down through the hole on the other side?"

"According to Tan Liu's instructions, below the cave entrance is the temporary County Head's Palace, which is also where Peng Cheng lives." Hou Yuan replied.

"If Peng Cheng really wants to help our troops destroy the city, this is a good opportunity. Don't worry, our soldiers will be discovered by the enemies when they descend from the cave."

"That's right!"

"Quickly go and find Tan Liu, I want to talk to him in detail."

"Yes!" "General!"

After the time it took to make a cup of tea, Tan Liu was brought over by Xu Bai and Hou Yuan. Seeing Xiao Muqing, he carefully kneeled on the ground and saluted, saying: "This lowly one greets General Xiao!"

"Get up! It can indeed be used by our army as a sneak attack tool. Go back and tell Master Peng that our army will pass through the secret passage at midnight tomorrow and sneak into the Red Dragon Altar, and you need to tell Master Peng to take care of it. "

"Yes, yes, yes!" Don't worry General Xiao, I will definitely bring the general's intentions to you. "

"Hm!" At that time, with torches as the signal, our Brotherhood would wave torches at the entrance of the cave. If everything is safe, you can wave torches at the foot of the mountain, signalling for our troops to enter the city. "

"Yes!" This little one will remember. " Tan Liu listened seriously, afraid that he would miss out a word.

"After the destruction of the city, this marshal will not harm Lord Peng's life, and will allow him to continue to be a County Head with Sishui County. As for whether or not he will advance to become a noble in the future, that will depend on the King's decision, and it's not something a mere Regiment Chief like me can decide." Xiao Muqing did not want to lie to Peng Cheng. To be honest, even if he could appoint a County Head, it would only be temporary. Whether or not he could stay for the long term would depend on Tang Yin's decision.

Tan Liu listened and nodded, and agreed.

After saying everything that needed to be said, Xiao Muqing waved his hand and said: "Go back to the city as soon as possible. When you see Lord Peng, bring all of this Marshal's intentions with you and let him prepare for you." In addition, this matter is of utmost importance, and should never be leaked out, understand?

"Yes, yes!" This little one understands, this little one understands! "

"Hm!" "Go on!"

"This little one will take his leave."

Tan Liu kowtowed again, stood up, took small steps, and retreated to the entrance of the camp before turning around to leave. After he left, Xu Bai and Hou Yuan also stood up. They cupped their hands towards Xiao Muqing and said, "General, this general will be going back to prepare for battle!"

"Prepare for what battle?" Xiao Muqing laughed and asked.

"Didn't the General want to use the secret passage tomorrow to ambush the enemy city?" Xu Bai and Hou Yuan said in confusion. Was there no need to prepare for a battle with such a big matter?

Xiao Muqing smiled lightly and said slowly: "Who said I was going to attack the city tomorrow?"

"But just now ?"

"It was just a small test!" Xiao Muqing squinted his eyes, and said faintly: "I have to see first, whether Peng Cheng's offer was sincere or not, and whether he truly wants to help our army break through the city, or does he have some other motive."

Xiao Muqing was an old soldier who was born with a stomach full of playthings. How could he believe everything Tan Liu said just because of a few words, even if what Tan Liu said was true?

"So that's how it is!" Xu Bai and Hou Yuan finally understood his intentions.

"The two of you, hurry up and have Sky Eye and Earth Web's brothers follow Tan Liu. It would be best if they could infiltrate the city without the other party noticing, and investigate the situation inside." Xiao Muqing said as he raised his head.2

"Yes sir!" Xu and Hou did not dare to be negligent, and promised each other as they hurriedly ran out of the Central Army Tent.
