Chapter 368: The Mantis Stalks The Cicada, Unaware Of The Oriole Behind

Xu Xiang shook her head and said, "They will realize that this is a trap. But because there is another group of spies besides them, the second group of spies will seize this opportunity without hesitation. As for the first group of spies, although they also know that this is a trap, as long as the other group decides to act, they have no choice but to act too. Otherwise, when the second group succeeds, they can only wait for death."

Listening to her explanation, A Lu Zhi said, "I understand now. Instead of making plans, we should use the second group of the spies to force the first group of the spice to act, then catch them all at once."

Xu Xiang nodded and said, "Exactly. Let A Lu Yu and A Lu Qian hide tonight, and ambush them later. When everyone falls asleep, I will lure them out. The moment you see bright flares in the sky, it means they have fallen into our trap."

A Lu Da and A Lu Zhi nodded, and said, "All right."

After discussing the details for a while, A Lu Da, A Lu Zhi, and A Lu Ge left the commander’s camp to prepare for tonight’s plan. After everyone left, Xu Xiang sat on the floor cushion and closed her eyes. With a lot of free time until midnight, she decided to work in her space.

She looked into her space with her consciousness, and checked on Mu Yucheng, who was still sitting at the lake pavilion. Seeing that he was still cultivating there with his eyes closed, she sighed and started to work.

When Xu Xiang withdrew her consciousness from her space, it was already pitch black outside. Seeing that no one came to light the candles in the commander’s tent, Xu Xiang stood up and walked out of the tent.

The moment she walked out of the commander’s tent, she felt that A Lu Yu and A Lu Qian’s presence were not far away from there. Xu Xiang then calmly stretched her body, yawned, and left the barracks.

In order to lure the spies, she purposely chose a deserted path and walked slower than usual while admiring the moon and enjoying the night wind. Behind her, a group of men watched her like a pack of hyenas.

One of them took a few deep breaths to calm down his fast heartbeats, and asked, "Lao Liang, are you sure you want to do it tonight? What if that man suddenly appeared?"

Lu Liang glanced at the man and said, "That person has been missing for days. If he is really in this village, our men should see him at least once. But until tonight, not even his shadow could be seen."

After saying this, he sneered and added: "If you are afraid, you don’t have to join us. But if those people come to kill you, don’t blame me for not warning you. Now that you have chosen to join this ship, don’t even think about leaving halfway."

Hearing this, the man’s face turned pale with fright, but he still gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice: "Don’t you think this situation is not right? It’s very suspicious that she chose this road at this time, and not even a soldier was patrolling this area."

Lu Liang looked at him and asked, "Do you think I don’t realize this?"

"Then why do you still decide to do it tonight?" The man asked again in confusion.

Lu Liang clenched his hands, looked at Xu Xiang who was getting further and further away, and said, "If we don’t do it, those people will. Life and death, which one would you choose?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone fell into silence. They already know that after accepting this mission, they have no room to back down.

If they fail, then there is only one ending for them, and that is to be killed by those people. So, although they knew that it was strange for Xu Xiang to walk alone without a guard after A Lu Qian found out that there were spies in the village, they still decided to take this risk.

Seeing that Xu Xiang had gone far, Lu Liang said, "Let’s go."

While Lu Liang and his people followed Xu Xiang, another group of spies watched them from the shadows. Watching their obvious movements, one of the men in black clothes sneered and said, "I don’t know why our client uses those stupid people after they hire us."

The leader glanced at him, then at Lu Liang and his men. After a moment of silence, he said, "You don’t need to know the reason. All we have to do is to complete our mission and get the payment."

After saying this, the leader thought for a while and said, "Wait for those people to attack first. When the situation becomes chaotic, we can kidnap the target and leave this village immediately."

Hearing this, the subordinates nodded and replied: "Yes, Boss."

Two seconds later, the leader said, "Let’s go. Follow closely and keep an eye on them."

When the men in black clothes left, A Lu Qian, who was standing on the top of a tree, looked at them coldly.

A Lu Yu stood on the branch below, whistled and said, "Our fourth younger brother’s method is very simple, but it is very effective. What is this plan called again?"

A Lu Qian glanced at his second elder brother and said, "He called this plan as the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."

After saying that, he paused for a second before saying, "Although this plan is effective, we still have to be careful because I’m sure that those people will take advantage of the chaos later."

A Lu Yu nodded and asked, "How is the preparation?"

"Everything is ready. When Xu Xiang sends out the signal, eldest brother and Xiao Xiong will catch those people. All we have to do is to pay close attention to Xu Xiang to ensure her safety." A Lu Qian replied calmly.
