The Deadly Hitwoman: The Heiress's Special Abilities-Chapter 399: Army at the Gates (Part 3)
Han Jing pointed to the moat shimmering with silver light in the distance: "That is the moat. The enemy is stationed not far from the moat. If it freezes at this time, what will happen to the enemy troops stationed by the moat after one night?"
"At night, the dew is at its heaviest. If the moat freezes, it will naturally have a severe impact on the enemy accustomed to a humid and hot environment..." Su Xingqiao paused halfway through his sentence, still frowning: "But how could the moat possibly freeze? Even in the coldest times, the Capital City has never been so cold as to freeze the river surface."
Nanyao Country Capital is located to the south, and even in the coldest times, it is absolutely impossible for the river to freeze. Even in the Northern Land, where Su Xingqiao is, it only snows a little in winter, and there is only occasionally a thin layer of ice on the river surface.
So... this is absolutely impossible.
"Brother Qiao thinks it’s impossible? Then I’ll make it possible now. However, I’ll still need Brother Qiao to take me there once. I must know the precise location of the enemy camp and the most suitable position." The enemy now has at least fifty thousand troops stationed by the moat. But actually, just freezing the river surface wouldn’t have a significant impact; Han Jing has other plans.
She’s not familiar with the army’s deployment, so she has to come to Su Xingqiao to take her there.
"What? Take you there? That’s too dangerous! No way!" If Han Jing were just at the city wall here, with Lan Ling watching, Su Xingqiao could barely agree to let her come. But now she wants to go near the enemy camp. That’s absolutely not allowed!
Su Xingqiao didn’t even think about it, he sternly refused. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
"If Brother Qiao doesn’t take me there, then I’ll go by myself. Brother Qiao can try if you can stop me." Han Jing knew that if she hesitated with Su Xingqiao any longer, he wouldn’t agree, so... she directly played her trump card, threatening him.
She may not be able to beat him, but Lan Ling can. Although Lan Ling mysteriously refuses to tell her what level he has cultivated to, the fact that Su Yu allows Lan Ling to stay by her side is enough to show that Lan Ling has absolute strength.
So Su Xingqiao simply can’t stop her now.
Su Xingqiao’s eyebrows wrinkled into folds, and he had no choice but to nod.
Worried that too many people would hinder and be discovered, Han Jing left Mu Jin here and had Lan Ling take her; the three of them silently approached the moat. Once at the moat, they could vaguely see the fire on the opposite bank and the patrolling soldiers.
But with Lan Ling’s barrier, it’s impossible for them to be discovered from the other side.
A temporary wooden bridge was built on the moat, and the riverside was still filled with unreleased bloody smells, as the battlefield along this route to the city gate tower during the day.
Han Jing squatted by the river, reaching her hand into the water.
"Jing’er, what exactly are you doing?" Su Xingqiao couldn’t bear to see Han Jing, heavily pregnant, still worrying about these matters, and he regretted bringing her over, but he knew he couldn’t stop her.
Han Jing turned back, gesturing with a finger to her lips, signaling Su Xingqiao to remain silent.
Lan Ling also patted Su Xingqiao’s shoulder, whispering, "Don’t worry, it’s all right."
The boss has given Little Jing zi excess spiritual power, at least enough for her to withstand the attack of an Orange Flame Level advanced Spirit Cultivator, so he dares to bring her out.
