Seeing this, the proprietress came forward in a hurry, followed by several waiters.

Seeing Brother Wang like this, the people around him suddenly woke up.

"What are you doing? You dirty bastard." The proprietress cursed and moved Brother Wang, who had already fallen asleep, aside.

The remaining waiters began to clean up the mess.

After a long time, the dishes were finally served.

Just seeing that scene, no matter how delicious the hotpot in front of me was, I still lost my appetite.

"The formation that person just mentioned." Cen Xiao said in a low voice.

Shen Wantang was also thoughtful.

"The mountain city has a special terrain that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Judging from the last battle, Chen Kangjian has no intention of retreating here." Shen Wantang's analysis was very logical.

Cen Xiao also nodded.

The proprietress came over with a smile on her face and something in her hands.

"I'm really sorry, that guy is a dirty team, don't pay any attention to him, eat some fruits to calm your nerves, don't worry, these are all free." The proprietress's smile was still bright, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze.

"Thank you." Cen Xiao smiled and nodded.

"Madam boss." Just as the lady boss was about to leave, Shen Wantang spoke.

"What's going on? Is there anything else going on?"

"Brother Wang left in a hurry just now, and now his purse is left at home." Shen Wantang pointed at the purse on the ground, "These things were given by my wife at home. If they are lost, I'm afraid I'll suffer when I return home!"

The proprietress turned around, bent over to pick up the purse on the ground, frowned and said, "Oh, that's right, sister. Thank you so much. I'll ask someone to send it to him tomorrow."

Watching the lady boss leave, Cen Xiao's eyes fell directly on Shen Wantang. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What tricks are you playing at?"

The hot pot in front of him was bubbling. Shen Wantang picked up a piece of potato and smiled calmly: "Of course, let's follow Brother Wang to take a look at what this formation is."

Cen Xiao was very interested and continued to ask: "But what does that purse mean?"

Shen Wantang paused, raised his eyes and seemed to be about to say something.

"Why, my lady, you didn't tell me. Are you afraid that I would be jealous if I knew that the purse was yours?" Cen Xiao had a smile in his eyes and went to get food from the hot pot, looking very calm.

Shen Wantang glanced over with cold eyes, and Cen Xiao's smile disappeared instantly.

After a moment, she slowly spoke: "The men here are afraid of the ladies at home, so they are naturally very concerned about their ladies' things."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp sound came from the second floor.

"You damned bastard, you come here to drink again, why don't you drink yourself to death!"

Then, there was the sound of breaking bowls and plates, and a woman grabbed the official's ear and hurried down.

Cen Xiao was stunned, watching the tall and strong man being grabbed by the ear by his wife and dragged from the second floor to the outside.

"Did you see it?" Shen Wantang said calmly.

Cen Xiao slowly turned his head, pretended nothing had happened, and continued eating the food in the bowl.

After dinner, the two found an inn next to the tavern and stayed there.

The next morning.

"Take this stuff to the residence of the man who vomited last night." At the back door, the proprietress handed the purse to a waiter, gave him some instructions, and then went back to the hotel.

The waiter went to the place given by the boss, but there were two more people following him.

"Sir! Sir!" the waiter knocked on the door.

A woman opened the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

He spoke suddenly, in a very gentle manner.

"Your Mr. Wang came to eat hotpot yesterday, and his wallet fell down, so I came to deliver something." The waiter handed over the something.

The woman's face visibly darkened: "Damn it!"

The roar of a lion startled the pedestrians on the street, and the waiter in front was so scared that he hid aside instantly.

"Which bitch are you hooking up with outside again?" The lady's voice was so loud that it echoed throughout the sky.

After a long time, the door opened again.

Brother Wang, who was talking animatedly at the dinner table yesterday, specially put on a veil and quietly went out.

Unexpectedly, his feet suddenly slipped and he fell to the ground, with his veil falling to the ground, revealing his scratched face under the curtain.

Brother Wang looked around hurriedly, picked up the veil, put it on and left.

Shen Wantang and Cen Xiao also followed.

The roads in the mountain city are complicated and rugged. If you don’t have someone familiar to lead the way, you might get lost here.

After crossing several streams and passing through several caves, we finally arrived at the place where Brother Wang mentioned "setting up the formation".

"Wang Jun, why are you wearing a veil today?"

Seeing Wang Jun coming, the men burst into laughter.

Needless to say, he couldn't see anyone with a veil on. If he couldn't see anyone, it must be that his wife had done something bad!

As they spoke, everyone came forward to take off Wang Jun's veil.

While they were fighting, a burly man slowly came forward.

"What are you doing!" As soon as the voice came out, that powerful voice - it was the person who robbed the two people's ox cart yesterday!

"Is this a place for you to play around?" The man had a ferocious look on his face and seemed to show no mercy to his own people.

Everyone stopped talking and walked aside angrily.

Cen Xiao, who was hiding in the bushes nearby, had already clenched his fists.

After the person left, the two of them followed stealthily.

The bushes blocked their view and they could only judge each other based on the sounds of their movements.

I don't know where he went, but he finally stopped slowly.

"Don't slack off these days! The formation is the most important thing in the war!" The man held a whip in his hand and lectured everyone. If anyone was seen to be lazy again, the whip would fall on them without any explanation.

Even his own comrades are treated like this!

Shen Wantang's eyes darkened and his brows furrowed.

"What kind of rotten stone did you choose? How many people will be hit by it when it falls?" The man stepped forward and scolded him harshly. As soon as he finished speaking, the whip fell on the man.

Shen Wantang stood up slightly, looked through the bushes, and saw several people working not far away.

The edge of the cliff was covered with mechanisms, and next to the mechanisms were large pieces of rock that had been selected and transported by the men.

"Okay! Let's try out your mechanism and see if it works!" The man waved his hand, and then the people working stopped what they were doing.

The man walked forward slowly, drew the big knife from his waist, and cut the rope on the mechanism with a single stroke of the knife.

The mechanism started to creak, and the wild stones on the side rolled down one by one as the mechanism operated.

Shen Wantang's heart couldn't help but tighten.

If these devices were used in combat, we would suffer heavy losses before even seeing the enemy.

This is also the subtlety of the mountain city’s location—easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Although it is possible to resist foreign invasion without any defense, the enemy can be killed with a little defense.
