"Miss Lin, we've received word from contacts within the city. They've prepared everything, and will use smoke bombs as a signal at midnight to cooperate with our army in attacking and opening the city gates from the inside."
"Alright."
Lin Qingluo's eyes flashed inscrutably as she nodded slightly.
"Master, are we attacking the city tonight?"
Shitou, with his keen hearing, brightened at the mention of the plan and eagerly joined in the conversation.
"Indeed,"
Lin Qingluo's gorgeous face was solemn: "The essence of military operations is speed. Our army is rushing through the hundred miles, marching rapidly to seize Jiankang City before the Beiqi reinforcements arrive."
"How exciting!"
Shitou rubbed his hands together in excitement: "It's time for me to shine again."
Feng Yi rolled his eyes at him: "It's Brother Meng who'll shine, you, just stand aside."
"I also contributed to breaking down the city gates."
