Through Time Chapter 433

Having Shang Yan’er and Man in one room was certainly no problem for Zhao Lang.

Although there were still some questions that he wanted to ask Shang Yan’er, this was not a good time to do so.

Moreover, he would have to leave here first thing in the morning, so even if Xiang Liang did not dare to conduct a blatant and massive search, he could still do it completely secretly.

“Let’s all rest early today and leave first thing in the morning.”

Hearing the command, all of them quickly returned to their rooms.

They had all come all this way these days and had long since gotten used to it.

As Nou stayed at the end, ready to leave, Zhao Lang asked

“Are there any people from the Spider’s Web inside the caravan?”

Judging from the recent past, Zhao Lang himself would have little time to get business matters for the time being.

But wherever there was a need for money, in that case, Shang Yan’er’s side would be of use.

It was just that businessmen were profit-oriented and capricious, and Zhao Long would not dare to talk to them about their feelings.

It was better to be careful.

Nu glanced at the direction Shang Yan’er had left and saw that the other party was already far away before he said that

“Master, when Steward Wangcai was trading with the merchants before, he had already planted some of the Spider Web’s men.”

“It’s just that it’s still a short time, and they haven’t been able to penetrate inside the merchants yet.”

Zhao Lang frowned a little regretfully, but he couldn’t be harsh, the time given to him was just too short.

After coming to the Great Qin, there was really not a moment to spare, but all these things, it took time to make progress slowly.

“Well, it would be good to have someone continue to follow up.”

Zhao Lang ordered with a wave of his hand.

The slave hesitated before nodding his head in response.

This of course did not escape Zhao Lang’s eyes, and said blandly that

“Say.”

It was then that Nou returned the

“My lord, there is actually an extremely quick and effective way to deal with the merchant’s people.”

Zhao Lang raised his eyebrows as he listened and said that

“There is a way, what are you hiding for? Speak!”

Slave showed a hint of oddity on his face at this time and said that

“Master, it seems that Miss Shang is now a merchant walking the world, and since she can do all this in a woman’s body, her talents must be extraordinary.”

“And…”

Zhao Lang said, waving his hand.

“Get to the point! ”

Of course he knew Shang Yan’er’s talent, otherwise he wouldn’t have thought of working with the other party.

Nou said, extremely dryly, at once

“Master, even if Miss Shang is talented, she is still a woman!”

“A woman will have a husband, and if you can take Miss Shang, then the merchant will be under your control! ”

Slave still had confidence in his master’s attraction to women.

What’s more, when Zhao Lang had just returned with his men, that merchant girl was on the verge of hanging onto her own master’s body.

If one were to say that the other party didn’t have a bit of that in mind, slave wouldn’t believe it.

Hearing this, Zhao Lang, however, faintly froze, and then said, without good humour

“This is your solution?”

“Then if I want to take in anyone in the future, do I have to find a female of the other party and take them down?”

Slave blinked at that, there was nothing wrong with that solution.

Marriage, since ancient times, was an extremely good way to go about it.

Just as he wanted to speak, he was heard saying by Zhao Lang that

“Get lost!”

The slave was about to roll out when he heard Zhao Lang say.

“After you go to Yun Meng Ze this time, absorb some manpower from within the farming family into the spider web.”

“Use it to spy out information.”

If there were people from the Spider Web inside this county, only once they entered the city, they would be able to learn about the situation inside the city.

Then everything would be a lot easier.

The slave nodded in response before retreating.

Zhao Lang silently calculated the journey in his mind, in a few days, they would be there.

Every time he needed to hurry, Zhao Lang couldn’t help but think of Elder Bai, and wondered how the other party’s big pot was cooking.

In his lifetime, he also wondered if he would be able to see a steam engine.

A bronze steam engine?

Zhao Lang was a little dumbfounded.

Without further thought, Zhao Lang also began to rest.

The next morning, at dawn, Zhao Lang led his men and sped all the way out of the city gates.

Only after they had gone did a group of men arrive late, guarding the city gates, seemingly looking for someone.

Of course, they were destined to come up empty-handed.

A few days later, in front of the Martial Gate.

The terrain of the Martial Pass is still rather peculiar, with a straight path to the south, but extremely dangerous to the north.

After the Qin had obtained Wuguan, they built it along the terrain.

It was a really easy to defend and difficult to attack pass.

In the Warring States period, when the Qin army got Wu Pass, they also got the initiative in the war.

It was also the gateway to Xianyang.

This is why the other side chose this place.

“Master, shall we go in now?”

Slave looked at the heavily guarded Martial Pass and was a little frightened.

The majesty of the Great Qin was evident here.

Zhao Lang shook his head and said that

“There’s no rush, we’ve arrived early, watch the surrounding terrain first.”

The reason he was in such a hurry was to get here ahead of time to step on the spot.

One couldn’t put one’s own safety and security into the hands of others.

Nu nodded and quickly scattered in all directions with Little Six as they led the men to the breakthrough at Martial Pass.

Of course the breakthrough at Martial Pass was not that easy to find, otherwise it would have been breached back then.

Only Zhao Lang was different, this time he had brought some black gunpowder with him, what was impregnable in the eyes of others might be something for him to try.

Zhao Long also took Shang Yan’er and the others around, surveying the surroundings and casually asking

“How’s it going? How have the last few days been?”

Shang Yan’er’s face was somewhat overworked and pale.

“Well, with Sister Man looking after me, I’m fine.”

It had been a tough few days on horseback, but her riding skills had improved a lot.

Zhao Lang nodded and didn’t dwell on it too much, it was normal to suffer a bit during such extraordinary times.

They chatted casually, and Zhao Lang took the opportunity to ask about the caravan.

By the time evening came, Nu and Xiao Liu returned with the men.

There was no more lingering outside.

Zhao Lang led the men to a post station outside Wuguan.

These post stations only received characters with official connections, and Zhao Lang still had the identity of a Qin soldier, so it was not a problem.

After taking a separate small courtyard, Zhao Long then asked Xiao Liu and the others about the scouting situation.

“Chief, Wuguan is heavily guarded, we didn’t find any breakthroughs.”

“We can only follow your instructions and look at the broken areas outside the walls, then prepare to see how things are once we’ve entered Wuguan.”

Xiao Liu had been a guard at the Great Wall.

He still had an understanding of the city’s defences and quickly gave an overview of the situation at Wuguan.

Zhao Lang also found two places that could potentially be blown up with explosives.

We will have to talk about the details once we get into Wuguan.

Of course, this was only supposed to be a last-ditch precautionary measure and would not be used until the last resort.

“Well, when we enter the pass first thing tomorrow morning, Nu, you should still stay and meet me.”

“Little Six, take the men and follow me.”

“The others…”

Zhao Lang looked at the remaining people, and Hu Hai extremely naturally gave his head away, not meeting Zhao Lang’s eyes.
