Fang Zhengzhi could not figure out what the problem was. That was not possible. Xing Yuanguo was the commander of the army. Xing Yuanguo did not have the foresight to defend the Icy Monkey Settlement.
Furthermore...
Most importantly, Xing Yuanguo would be able to see the flames of war erupt in the Sagely Mountain City. As such, he would not let this opportunity slip by.
Could it be that there was something else that he had not thought of?
Fang Zhengzhi did not understand. However, he had to make a decision. He could not keep wasting time outside the city walls.
If the Great Xia did not attack the Sagely Mountain City, then the Icy Monkey Settlement would be a huge obstacle for the Southern Region soldiers.
The Sagely Mountain City was surrounded by 50,000 Demons. Even though it was not too dangerous, the 80,000 elites sent by Princess Shan Yu would not be able to hold out for long.
Even though Fang Zhengzhi had guessed Yun Qingwu's plan, if the Great Xia did not attack the Icy Monkey Settlement, then the plan would revert back to the beginning.
A few days later, the Demons from the Sagely Mountain City and the Blood Shadow City met.
They would use the lives of the Southern Region King and the Crown Prince to control the hundreds of thousands of Southern Region soldiers to attack the Great Xia...
Hundreds of thousands of Southern Region soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Demons.
Even if the Great Xia could hold on, it would be a tough battle. If the Northern Barbarians took the opportunity to attack, the Great Xia would be in grave danger.
What should he do?
Although Fang Zhengzhi did not care much about national affairs, he did not wish for anything that could potentially destroy the country to happen.
When the nest is overturned, no eggs remain intact.
The Great Xia was going to be wiped out.
The Northern Mountain Village would be dragged into the flames of war. He did not want to see this, nor did the citizens of the Great Xia want to see this.
No, he had to think of a way.
However...
Fang Zhengzhi looked at the densely packed flames and the black mass of Demon soldiers around the city and felt a little helpless.
This was 50,000 Demonic Soldiers. Even if he risked his life and killed a few hundred of them, it would be useless. He would just be like a moth flying into a flame.
He was outnumbered.
Fang Zhengzhi's mind flashed through many ancient strategies and classic battles. There were all sorts of examples of people winning against many when they were outnumbered.
For example, Xiang Yu attacked Liu Bang, Cao Cao attacked Yuan Shao, and the classic Empty City Stratagem, where Zhuge Liang used an empty city to scare off his pursuers.
However, none of this had anything to do with his current situation.
Burning rations?
Good plan!
However, where were the rations for the Demon soldiers?
The Stratagem of the Southern Region was also a good plan. However, it would be foolish to ask the Crown Prince and the King of the Southern Region to retreat from the Royal City.
Hit the snake where it hurts, capture the ringleader first!
Should he think of another way to kidnap Yun Qingwu?
Fang Zhengzhi's eyes lit up, but they dimmed quickly. He had no idea where Yun Qingwu was. Furthermore, the Demon Race would be extremely careful after what happened on the cliff. It would be extremely difficult to kidnap Yun Qingwu.
What a headache …
Fang Zhengzhi felt that the situation in front of him was already giving him a headache. However, he did not expect that Princess Shan Yu would be even more of a headache.
After hearing Fang Zhengzhi's reply, Princess Shan Yu displayed her princess-like personality. She did not even wait for Fang Zhengzhi to explain.
With a whoosh, he flipped over the city wall.
"F * ck me!" Fang Zhengzhi really wanted to push Princess Shan Yu to the ground and sit on her face.
He had overlooked a problem. How could a woman who liked to sit on top of a man change her habits so quickly?
Princess Shan Yu's orders were the orders of the Southern Region soldiers. This was a habit that she had developed since she was young. As such, she did not need Fang Zhengzhi's approval.
She had already given Fang Zhengzhi enough face by saying "enter the city".
Abandon Princess Shan Yu and walk away?
Or follow Princess Shan Yu into the Royal City and fulfill Princess Shan Yu's wish. Then, he could slowly think of another way?
This was the choice that Fang Zhengzhi faced.
However, this choice was not too difficult for him. He quickly made up his mind. Fang Zhengzhi had not thought of a way to get rid of the Sagely Mountain City. As such, he could only take it one step at a time.
Of course, there was another reason. He was not afraid of abandoning Princess Shan Yu. Rather, he was afraid that Princess Shan Yu would abandon him. This was a completely different mindset.
This was the Southern Region, the Sagely Mountain City. This was Princess Shan Yu's territory. He had been able to sneak all the way from the foot of the mountain to the Royal City without being discovered.
It was all because of Princess Shan Yu.
As such, even if he was a dragon, he would have to coil up and hug Princess Shan Yu's two slender legs tightly.
"Wait for me!" With a flip of his body, Fang Zhengzhi followed behind Princess Shan Yu and flipped over the tall city walls.
His only hope was that Princess Shan Yu would bring him out of the Royal City after ensuring that the Crown Prince and the King were safe.
In the end, it was too dangerous inside King City.
Hang on.
Something was amiss. If he and Princess Shan Yu could get out, why didn't the Crown Prince and the King sneak out together?
With their status, who would dare to stop them?
Oh no, he had fallen into a trap!
Fang Zhengzhi's expression changed. He thought of a possibility. The Royal City was completely under the control of the Demons. Everything that he saw outside was an illusion. The goal was to lure him into a trap.
So, was he now considered to have walked right into the trap?
This problem did not bother Fang Zhengzhi for too long because he was stunned by the scene in front of him the moment he stepped on the ground of Monarch City.
In front of him, a squad of heavily armored soldiers stared at him and Princess Shan Yu. They were patrolling.
A dozen pairs of eyes stared at Princess Shan Yu and Fang Zhengzhi. All of the soldiers were in disbelief.
Fang Zhengzhi's expression darkened.
All along, he had thought that he was an expert in sneak attacks. However, today, he had fallen into the hands of Princess Shan Yu, this rash person. Don't tell me that she shouldn't have scouted before climbing over the wall?
At the very least, she should have listened to the footsteps! How did she manage to flip over and knock into them? She was a pinnacle Heavenly Reflection State cultivator!
Awkward.
Fang Zhengzhi looked at the expressions on their faces and knew that his attempt to sneak into the city had failed miserably.
What now?
Should he fight or run?
Also, were these Royal City Army soldiers real Royal City Army, or were they demons in disguise? Fang Zhengzhi wasn't sure because the helmets of the Royal City soldiers were pulled down very low.
He could not tell if they had demon eyes on their foreheads.
"What are you looking at? Continue patrolling! " An arrogant voice rang out. At the same time, a red inscription lit up on Princess Shan Yu's face.
It was a cloud inscription, a symbol of Princess Shan Yu's identity.
Fang Zhengzhi knew what Princess Shan Yu was trying to do. However, he was worried that if the other party was a Demon, would this work?
Just as he was thinking about this, a miracle happened.
The soldiers were stunned when they saw the cloud inscription on Princess Shan Yu's body. Then, they looked at each other and continued patrolling. They did not even look at Fang Zhengzhi and Princess Shan Yu.
Fang Zhengzhi was confused. He did not know if this meant that they were from the Royal City Army or the Demon Army.
After all, both were possible.
If it was the Royal City Army, they would not dare to stop Princess Shan Yu. However, if it was the Demons, they might also allow Princess Shan Yu to enter.
This was an indisputable point.
Fang Zhengzhi was a little worried. However, Princess Shan Yu did not seem worried at all. Instead, she smiled brightly.
Then, a strange scene appeared.
After tasting the sweetness, Princess Shan Yu became even bolder. She immediately pulled Fang Zhengzhi up and strutted into the Imperial City.
Furthermore, she was walking the Great Dao!
Fang Zhengzhi really felt a deep sense of defeat in his heart. He really wanted to point at Princess Shan Yu's chest and say, as a "spy" who infiltrated the capital, can't you have a little more respect for your identity as a spy? Can't you have a little more technical content?
She was in the pinnacle Heavenly Reflection State!
Of course...
In the end, he did not say these words. Because, as he followed Princess Shan Yu, he had already "bumped" into at least 10 patrolling squads of Royal City Guards.
Even though they all continued on unscathed...
However, Fang Zhengzhi felt as though he was jumping into a fire pit. It was too open, too high profile.
Even though he liked to be high profile...
However, wasn't it a bit too much to be so high-profile?
A day had passed. Was the Southern Region still in control of the Southern Region? Fang Zhengzhi glanced at the patrolling soldiers, unsure of what was going on.
If the heavens gave him another chance...
He would knock Princess Shan Yu out without hesitation. Then, he would find a secluded place to settle down. Then, he would slowly gather information.
How could he just barge into King City like this?
