Chapter 235 A serious problem
"Yang An, if you have the ability to seize the treasure, that would be a good thing. It might even save me some trouble," Yang Ling said with a soft laugh.
After saying that, Yang Ling left and headed to the inn where Yang Hu and the others were.
Shortly after Yang Ling left, his men returned.
"Young Master, the matter you entrusted to us has been completed. Please take a look," the subordinate said respectfully.
Yang Ling took the note, read it, and couldn't help but be surprised: "It's really unexpected that it would be like this."
……
As dusk fell, Yang An and his three companions arrived outside the east gate of the city.
However, they stopped when they were still some distance from the city wall.
"Brother, why have you stopped moving forward?" Yang Hu asked in confusion.
Yang An took a deep breath and said calmly, "We need to find a place to hide and wait until midnight, when the guards are less vigilant, before sneaking into the East City."
Yang Hu, Yang Wei, and the others exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.
"Brother, let's find a place to hide. Once it gets dark, the guards at the city gate will definitely be resting," Yang Wei suggested.
Yang An glanced at the guards on the city wall and couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.
“No, there’s another row of soldiers in front of those soldiers. They’re not pushovers. If we get close to the city wall, they’ll spot us easily,” Yang An said, shaking his head.
"Then what can we do? We can't just take a detour; that would only expose our whereabouts and attract the attention of the Crown Prince's army," Yang Hu said helplessly.
“Taking a detour is definitely not an option, since this is the fastest route to Dongcheng. If we take a detour, we’ll probably waste some time on the way,” Yang An reminded him.
Yang Wei frowned and said, "It's too conspicuous for so many people to move together. It might be better if we split into several groups."
Yang An hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "You're right. We'll split up and distract them, that way we can sneak into Dongcheng."
Yang Hu nodded in agreement: "If we separate, we can indeed avoid our whereabouts being exposed."
Yang Wei agreed, saying, "That's right, this is very important to us."
"Brother, let's do as Xiao Wei said. We'll split into two groups. You, me, and Xiao Hu will be one group, and the rest of you will be another group," Yang An suggested.
Yang Hu and Yang Wei nodded repeatedly.
Yang An immediately gave the order: "Alright, everyone get ready, let's move out!"
After speaking, Yang An took the lead, with Yang Hu and Yang Wei following closely behind, while the remaining two lagged far behind.
Before long, the group approached the city wall.
Seeing this, Yang An immediately signaled everyone to hide their figures and not reveal their presence.
Everyone did as instructed, cautiously approaching the city wall and secretly observing their surroundings.
After a while, seeing that the guards on the city wall had indeed not discovered their presence, Yang An finally gave the order.
"Disperse, everyone disperse and enter the city."
"Brother, I'll go with you. You go first, and then I'll come back," Yang Hu suggested.
“Alright, let’s do it your way,” Yang An said.
After saying that, Yang An and Yang Hu prepared to take action.
However, just then, a chilling feeling descended, as if a murderous aura had suddenly appeared.
Yang Hu quickly looked at Yang An and said urgently, "Big brother, be careful!"
Yang An was startled and immediately drew his sword to defend himself.
call out!
A sharp and unparalleled sword aura swept in, carrying immense destructive power, and slashed directly at Yang An.
Yang An's expression changed drastically, and he secretly thought to himself that the enemy had indeed laid an ambush here.
"Damn it!"
Yang An cursed angrily, and at the same time swung his long sword fiercely to block the sword energy.
However, although he blocked the sword energy, its powerful force still reached his body.
puff!
Yang An spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale.
"Big brother, are you alright?" Yang Hu exclaimed in shock.
Seeing this, Yang Wei was also shocked and his eyes widened. He never expected that someone would dare to plot against Yang An and his group at this time.
Yang An coughed a few times, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said with a grim expression, "The other side had an ambush. Let's get out of here quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang An hurriedly turned and left.
Yang Hu followed closely behind Yang An as they left the area.
Just then, a blinding light flashed, instantly obscuring Yang An and Yang Hu's vision.
Yang An's expression changed drastically, and he immediately shouted, "Not good, there are enemies!"
Just then, several sword energies attacked, their target being Yang An and Yang Hu.
Yang An's expression changed drastically, and he swung his longsword fiercely to block the oncoming sword energy.
However, his reaction was too slow. By the time he blocked the sword energy, several other sword energies had already attacked.
boom! boom! boom!
A series of explosions rang out, and Yang An was injured in many places, his clothes were torn to shreds.
However, Yang An did not stop there and continued to retreat towards the city gate.
Yang Hu followed closely behind, trying to escape from here.
Just then, Yang Hu suddenly sensed a sharp aura approaching.
Yang Hu was so frightened that his face changed drastically, his pupils contracted sharply, and he hurriedly dodged.
But Yang Hu was a step too slow. The sharp aura was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had arrived in front of him.
Yang Hu screamed in terror, his face turning ashen.
call out!
A gleaming throwing knife sliced through the night sky, heading with unparalleled precision towards Yang Hu's heart.
Yang Hu opened his mouth in horror, his eyes filled with despair.
"Brother, save me!"
Yang Hu roared in anguish.
However, he was met with a hail of flying knives and a figure rushing towards him.
"Boy, suffer death!"
A rough, loud shout rang out, and a colossal creature charged from afar, instantly arriving in front of Yang Hu.
Yang Hu's vision blurred, and then a fierce gust of wind swept past.
puff!
With a sharp sound, the throwing knife pierced Yang Hu's heart, killing him instantly.
"Brother Tiger!"
Yang An let out an angry roar, his face full of pain and hatred.
call out!call out!call out!
Several streaks of light flashed and hurtled towards Yang An.
A look of madness appeared in Yang An's eyes as he brandished his longsword, constantly deflecting the flying knives aimed at him.
Ding!Ding!Ding!
A series of explosions rang out as the throwing knives were severed and fell to the ground, kicking up dust.
However, Yang An's situation was not optimistic. His face had turned deathly pale, and his clothes were stained red with blood. Yang An gritted his teeth and desperately blocked the flying knives, but his speed had obviously slowed down considerably.
call out!
With a whooshing sound, a flying knife radiating a terrifying cold light struck Yang An's arm, causing him to let out a shrill scream.
"Boy, suffer death!"
A burly general in armor roared and charged forward swiftly, spear in hand.
