In a hollow five hundred li northeast of Youdu in Da Qi, the grass had grown half a meter tall. It was a lush sea of green, swaying gently in the breeze. The sight was as refreshing and tranquil as if one were standing in Qingqiu.
But no one could have guessed that all of Da Qi's elite troops were lying in ambush here, waiting for the people of Tianchen Country.
Li Huowang lay buried in the earth, his brow tightly furrowed. He used his keen hearing to sense every movement on the surface. He had been lying here for an entire day, all to verify if the information from Touzi was correct.
Feeling stifled? Need some air? Li Huowang asked Li Sui in his mind.
"Dad, they're here."
At those words, Li Huowang's scalp prickled, and his heart began to race. He then heard heavy footsteps above ground, punctuated by a few bird calls. Da Qi doesn't have any birds left! Those are Tianchen birds!
