Chapter 402: Does It Look Similar?
Chu Imperial Seat stared innocently with wide eyes, feeling very wronged. Didn't you ask me to say it? I just wanted to lighten the mood a bit, so why did you suddenly get angry?
Truly, the heavens are hard to predict.
No wonder the saying goes, "Serving a monarch is like accompanying a tiger." This saying is absolutely true.
"Really deserves a scolding!" The two shadows glared fiercely at him, unreservedly siding with the emperor, and mercilessly despising this scoundrel who abandoned his responsibilities!
Chu Yang stared blankly at the backs of the three, finally unable to contain his frustration, and shouted, "What the hell is going on? Why did I suddenly incur the wrath of everyone... This is so unfair... Everything was just fine, how did I suddenly offend everyone?"
Although the other three had their own thoughts, hearing this guy’s frustration also made them chuckle.
"Yes, right here, we've arrived." Chu Yang pointed ahead. Ever since he mentioned how to deal with Wu Kuangyun, these three had ignored him. They were lost in thought, wondering: I didn’t say anything wrong, why did all three get angry at once? What’s going on?
Talk too much and you’ll lose your way.
Finally arriving at their destination, he let out a sigh of relief. It must be said, being left hanging like that wasn’t a pleasant experience. Especially since one moment they were passionately discussing, and the next, he said something and everyone got furious; anyone would feel utterly confused…
"What’s here?" Tie Butian asked.
"Here, it’s a sheer cliff; there’s a slight slope, and from here, you can’t see down, but it’s over three hundred zhang down. It’s just a slope. Very steep. Coming up from below is absolutely impossible. But it doesn’t prevent people from going down from above," Chu Yang replied. "Of course, people can’t go down."
“If people can’t go down, why say anything?” Tie Butian glared at him. Ever since that remark, she relentlessly looked for opportunities to tease him.
"But other things can go down, like stones!" Chu Yang chuckled and said, "I remember, the slope here leads directly into Slant Valley... that path... and now Slant Valley is packed with Great Zhao's troops... Hehe, this is quite interesting."
Tie Butian immediately looked alarmed, her eyes sharpened: "You mean..."
Chu Yang smiled, "What I mean is simple; since some of the Great Zhao troops are crowded in this narrow Slant Valley, why not create a bloody alley for them... and, to some extent, disrupt their supplies..."
In Chu Yang's smile, there was a hint of something called "cruelty" that faintly shimmered. Even the two shadows looking at him couldn’t help but shiver.
Tie Butian pondered and said, "What you say makes sense, but... relying solely on the three of us... that seems too arrogant." She lowered her head in thought, "Even if we rolled logs or threw stones, our strength alone wouldn’t cause significant damage; it would only serve as harassment... not very useful."
"That’s why I’m looking for suitable terrain! Or do you think I’m just wandering around for no reason?" Chu Yang was quite surprised at Tie Butian's sudden dullness; how could this person not think at all now?
Unbeknownst to him, most women have a characteristic: as long as a dependable man is nearby, they become accustomed to handing over any difficult problems to their man to solve, never considering that some things they could easily accomplish themselves...
"Tell me your plan," Tie Butian also realized her odd behavior and coughed twice to disguise it.
"See that mountain?" Chu Yang pointed excitedly at a peak hidden in the clouds ahead.
The three looked over and were immediately taken aback.
They saw a peculiar peak rising several hundred zhang ahead, resembling a giant arm thrusting straight into the sky. Above the clouds, it was unclear how high it truly was.
The top was smooth, devoid of any weeds or trees, looking like a single block of stone standing between heaven and earth.
