At this time, the captain of the guards had the same idea as Rong Sheng.

He frowned, dragged his somewhat weak body, picked up the lantern and got off the carriage.

In the dim light from the lantern, the captain of the guards took tentative steps forward, looking around the foot of the mountain with wide eyes.

Where to go up the mountain...

The captain of the guards knew very well that the mountain road was rugged. If he didn't plan ahead, once he climbed up the mountain, if he really encountered some ferocious creature, then he would be helpless.

Thinking of this, he worked even harder to find a reliable way up the mountain, and his eyes, which were originally sunken, were now wide open as if they could fly out of their sockets.

He didn't know how long it had been, but just when he felt his eyes sore, he finally found a small path near the foot of the mountain on the left. Both sides of the road were paved with fine gravel, and it looked like someone had done it intentionally.

Could it be the work of the troops stationed on the top of the mountain?

The captain of the guards complained in his heart and began to walk up the mountain path marked by gravel.

After walking a short distance, he raised his eyes again and was able to see the direction of the road clearly under the vague obscurity of the bushes.

I saw that this narrow mountain road was like a long snake, winding between the mountains and winding upward to the top of the mountain.

This road was most likely opened up intentionally by the people in the mountains to facilitate entry and exit of the mountains.

Thinking of this, the captain of the guards immediately withdrew his gaze and quickly returned to the carriage team at the foot of the mountain.

At this time, the other guards at the foot of the mountain were worrying about how to get up the mountain. Suddenly, they saw the captain of the guards walking out of the mountain, and their eyes lit up.

"Boss!"

"The boss is back!"

One of the guards ran to the chief guard and asked anxiously, "Boss, is there a road on this mountain?"

"There is a way." The captain of the guards replied simply.

Then, he shouted to the long line of carriages behind him: "Everyone, follow me up the mountain now. Be careful because the mountain road is rugged!"

Then, he lit the torches on the car and ordered the guards: "There are wild beasts in the mountains, be careful not to let the torches go out!"

When the guards heard this, they all became excited and lit torches.

In an instant, the entire carriage team was like a long fire dragon, illuminating the entire valley.

"Drive - drive -"

After a while, the sound of guards driving their horses could be heard again in the mountains.

Afterwards, all the guards concentrated their attention and followed the captain of the guards' carriage slowly forward.

Rong Sheng, who was sitting in the car at the moment, had seen everything that had just happened through the gap in the window.

This captain of the guards is indeed much more shrewd than imagined.

Rong Sheng hugged his knees and leaned against the wooden box, thinking that he needed to be more careful later and must not let this guard discover him.

The carriage team circled the mountain, swaying all the way as they headed up the mountain.

Thanks to the captain of the guards' decisiveness and the flickering flames around the carriage, they did not encounter any wild beasts along the way, and now they were finally about to reach the top of the mountain.

I don’t know how long it took, but the gray sky began to brighten slightly.

Rong Sheng yawned and was about to look out the window secretly when the carriage suddenly stopped.

Could it be that we have reached the top of the mountain?

She was guessing in her mind, and quickly perked up and pricked up her ears to listen to the noise outside the car.

Then the voice of the captain of the guards sounded again.

"Everyone get out of the car now and take the boxes down!"

"Yes!"

Upon receiving the order, the guards got off the carriage and prepared to open the carriage and move the boxes.

Oh my goodness, so fast!

Rong Sheng was amazed inwardly and quickly jumped out before the guards opened the carriage.

Then she jumped into the bushes nearby as light as a swallow.

Thanks to her slim figure, the bushes can completely hide her figure.

Rong Sheng carefully stuck her head out and was relieved to see that the guards hadn't discovered her.

Then, she quietly lay down on the grass, squinting her eyes and observing the distance.

At this time, the carriage team stopped under a towering tree on the top of the mountain.

Behind the tree you can see a small earthen slope half a person's height.

Although the slope was small, it was just enough to cover the back of the top of the mountain.

At this moment, the guards had already moved the heavy wooden boxes to the tree.

When the captain of the guards saw that all the boxes had been moved in, he immediately took out the signal cigarette that he had prepared in his sleeve and lit it with the torch in his hand.

Soon, the wisps of green smoke gradually dissipated into the air with the breeze.

After a while, several people in armor really appeared from behind the slope.

Rong Sheng raised the corners of his eyebrows slightly and stretched his neck even harder to look towards the slope.

I saw those soldiers talking to the captain of the guard.

After a moment, they ended their conversation.

The captain of the guards turned around and ordered all the guards behind him to tie up the carriage.

Then, under Rong Sheng's sharp gaze, all the guards lifted the wooden boxes and followed the soldiers around the slope to the back of the mountain.

Only after the last guard disappeared behind the slope did Rong Sheng climb out of the bushes.

She brushed off the dirt on her body, calmed herself down, and ran in the direction where the guards disappeared.

Just as Rong Sheng tiptoed over the slope, the scene in front of her shocked her instantly.

On the back of the mountain top, on the slightly steep cliff, there was a military camp stretching for several miles.

Among them, the neatly arranged military tents were lined up in rows, almost stretching as far as the eye could see.

The camp was surrounded by torches, and next to each torch stood a fully armed soldier, all holding spears, standing straight and mighty.

Rong Sheng couldn't help but open his mouth in shock.

She spent many years in the Shen family military camp in her previous life. As a major general, she would often share her father's worries and help manage all matters of the military camp.

Therefore, the choice of location for the military camp and the distribution of the tents were also clearly understood.

Prince Jing'an is worthy of being the foremost general of the previous dynasty. Every detail of this military camp can be said to be armed to the teeth. Compared with the Shen family back then, it is even better.

Rong Sheng slowly recovered from his surprise and looked down again.

The guards of the Marquis' Mansion were now carrying wooden boxes and staggering to the gate of the military camp.

Afterwards, the soldiers from those camps stopped the guards and motioned them to put the wooden boxes on the ground outside the door. Then they turned around and left, quickly walking into a military tent in the center of the camp.

After a while, the soldiers finally came out of the tent.

However, this time, they were followed by several burly men. Their clothes were obviously not those of the Zhenguo state, and their hair was half loose.

Although their clothes were so strange, Rong Sheng still recognized them at a glance.

She stared at the people in the distance and said to herself, "This Nanyue person is really here..."
