Jian Guozhi and Nianzu took the disguise as the commoners. They came out of the room, where Xiao Zhan and Commander Yang were waiting for them, who were also in disguise.

"General Xiao, you will follow Prince Nianzu while Commander Yang will accompany me. We both will separate in the middle of the market," Jian Guozhi explained to them the plan, followed by the rest of the plan.
