Once they arrived at their lodging, the three entered the room and even closed the door. Meng Zhuqing guarded outside.
Seeing it was safe to talk, An Jing said, "We don't understand the terrain right now, nor the situation inside Jingye City. But that mountain is connected to Jingye City. We can enter Jingye City through the mountain, which should be much better than a direct attack."
Xiao Changyi immediately rejected An Jing's proposal: "No, that mountain is overrun with wild beasts. No one dares to enter. It's said that people in Jingye City have been attacked by beasts descending from the mountain. Every sunset, people from Jingye City build bonfires at the mountain edges to prevent the beasts from entering and harming the city."
Upon hearing that no one dares to go in, An Jing and Ye Zhi's eyes brightened.
"No one dares to enter? That's even better!" An Jing was particularly excited. "I'll lead a team to survey the terrain and also check out the situation in Jingye City."
