Chen Zhou was the Sect Leader of the Shang Qi Holy Ground. He had already given Lu An enough face by receiving him so politely. Lu An was naturally very polite. However, because he was the Deputy City Lord of Purple Lake City, he did not overly flatter him and only treated him as an equal.
Chen Zhou invited Lu An to take a seat. After the two of them sat down, Chen Zhou asked, "I wonder if Deputy City Lord Lu has any important news to bring to the frontline? Or do you have any orders from Purple Lake City? "
"Not really." Lu An smiled and said, "I was not in Purple Lake City before. I just returned not long ago and only just found out about the war. I'm just here to walk around and see the situation at the frontline. "
Lu An did not tell the truth. It was not that he did not trust Chen Zhou, but he felt that there was no need to say it out loud. Some things were better left unknown to fewer people.
Chen Zhou was obviously stunned when he heard this and said, "City Lord Lu, forgive me for being blunt. Although the frontline did not erupt, there are still many conflicts and casualties. I'm afraid that City Lord Lu's life will be in danger if you go to the frontline. If something happens to you, we won't be able to explain it! "
"Sect Leader Chen, please rest assured," Lu An said with a smile, "I won't go to the frontline. I'm just going to look around."
Chen Zhou nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll send more people to protect you. That way, I'll be able to rest assured."
"Sect Leader Chen, you don't have to be so polite." Lu An cupped his hands and said, "I just want to look around alone. I don't need anyone to protect me. As for Purple Lake City, I've already said that even if something happens to me, they won't pursue it. "
"…"
Hearing Lu An's words, Chen Zhou did not say anything else. He could only nod and say, "Since that's the case, City Lord Lu, please rest for a while. I'll get someone to prepare a lunch. Let's drink together!"
"Sect Leader Chen, you're too polite." Lu An said with a smile, "I'm just here to say hello. I'll be leaving soon. Sect Leader Chen, you don't have to distract yourself for me."
After saying this, Lu An stood up and cupped his hands as he said to Chen Zhou, "I don't know much about military matters, so I won't be of any help here and will only be wasting everyone's time. Farewell."
Chen Zhou stared in surprise; he had never thought that Lu An would leave so soon. He also got up and said, "City Lord Lu, are you really not going to stay any longer?"
"No need." Lu An said with a smile, "When I have the chance in the future, I will pay you a visit. Sect Leader Chen, please stay!"
After he finished speaking, Lu An turned around and strode out of the tent, leaving everyone in the camp looking at each other in dismay. Some of them were puzzled.
This garrison was the largest in the front line of the State of Shangqi. The military camp was extremely large, with a total of over three million soldiers. It was said that even the Heavenly Master Battalion had over a thousand people. After leaving the encampment, they would walk for about three hundred miles before reaching the local garrison. There was a large river between the two garrisons, which could be considered as a reason for the two sides to stop fighting.
After passing the local garrison's camp, they would reach the Upper King City 50 miles away. In other words, Lu An would need to cross the river and the enemy's camp before entering the Upper King City. This mission was very difficult to reach the Upper King City. The garrison that stretched for dozens of miles was not something that could be easily bypassed.
Lu An did not set off during the day. Instead, he waited outside the eastern exit of his own garrison until night fell. Wearing night clothes, he blended into the darkness and moved quickly on the ground. With the Nine Scorching Suns activated, he was able to avoid many Heavenly Master spies. After traveling for an hour, he arrived at the river.
This river was indeed not small. It was probably one mile wide and more than thirty meters high. Although this was nothing to Lu An, it was definitely a natural hazard for ordinary soldiers.
There was no bridge over the river. Lu An hid in the grass and sensed that there were many spies on both sides of the river. However, the strongest of these spies was only a Level Four Heavenly Master. Lu An had deliberately hidden himself and could not discover them.
Lu An jumped down from the shore and quickly arrived in the river with the help of the shadows. After learning the Water Manipulation Art, he could breathe freely in the water. He quickly moved to the opposite side of the river and sneaked into the enemy's shore with the help of the shadows. He moved quickly in the darkness and shadows.
Lu An moved very quickly and his clothes were dry in a short while. After another hour or so, he finally arrived outside the enemy's garrison.
This was the first time Lu An was so close to the enemy's garrison. Looking at the endless local garrison, Lu An's heart became very heavy.
He knew that if he was caught, he would most likely die. He was walking on the edge of a knife and could not afford to make any mistakes. Such a mission that did not allow for mistakes made Lu An even more calm.
He took a deep breath. He did not have the time to go around such a long camp. He got up and quickly approached the camp. In the darkness, the distance between him and the camp was getting shorter and shorter.
Lu An deliberately looked for a place where there were not many people patrolling. Finally, he leaned against the fence of the camp and panted slightly. Frowning, he jumped over the fence and entered the camp.
Even though it was late at night, the camp was still brightly lit. Patrols could be found everywhere and there was almost no space. Lu An activated Scorching Sun Nine Suns and carefully avoided the sight of the patrols. In such a large camp, he could not be sure if there were any experts. He did not dare to move forward at full speed and could only move forward bit by bit.
After a full half hour, Lu An finally arrived at the center of the camp. At this time, Lu An was hiding in the darkness with his back against a battalion commander's chair. His eyes were cautiously looking forward. There were three patrols in front of him. He had to wait for these people to pass by.
At this time, a voice suddenly came from not far away, making Lu An's heart tremble.
"Greetings, Military Counselor Du!!"
The soldiers greeted one after another. Although Lu An could not see, Scorching Sun Nine Suns could feel a group of people walking over. These people were not dressed like generals or soldiers. They should be military counselors. The so-called Military Counselor Du should be the one walking at the front.
Lu An did not act rashly. Instead, he quietly hid in the corner. He saw a group of people enter the tent, lit oil lamps, and began to discuss.
"Brother Du, the two generals just called you for a meeting. What happened?" One of them asked.
Military Counselor Du looked up and saw that everyone was curious. He said, "Actually, it's not something that can't be said. Tomorrow, the Young Lord of the Revered Heaven Gate will come to Upper King City. The leader sent someone to call me over to discuss how to break through Shang Qi's defense line."
When the others heard this, they suddenly understood and nodded. Another person said, "If this matter can be done, I'm afraid that Brother Du's status will rise again. We brothers congratulate you first!"
Military Counselor Du heard this and smiled happily. He said, "The so-called Purple Lake City Alliance is just an arrow at the end of its flight. Winning this war is only a matter of time. Moreover, the Revered Heaven Gate has joined. What reason is there to lose? Everyone, wait for my good news tomorrow. With me here, I won't mistreat you! "
"Yes, thank you, Brother Du!"
Amidst the laughter, Lu An frowned slightly. It seemed that Military Counselor Du's position in the army was not low. Otherwise, the leader would not only call him but not the other generals. If that was the case, he would like to kill these people right now!
However, Lu An held back. He did not want to alert the enemy. More importantly, he suddenly felt that he could use Military Counselor Du to do something.
After the patrol team left, Lu An continued to move forward. When he successfully passed through the military camp, he was relieved. However, he did not immediately leave for Upper King City. Instead, he hid in an inconspicuous place and waited for the sun to rise.
Four hours later, the sky was bright and the sun had not risen from the ground. Lu An, who had been waiting on the road to Upper King City, suddenly opened his eyes and turned to look at the official road.
He saw a group of 16 people galloping on the official road toward Upper King City.
Lu An's eyes narrowed and he immediately moved. He quickly moved a kilometer away from the side.
