"Are you sure they took this road?" Wang Qi stood up in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.
There were only two routes from the capital city to the mountain range where they were hiding: one was the main road, wide enough for the passage of large armies, with the sides flat.
The other was a small path, which, although it greatly shortened the distance, passed through a narrow valley flanked by cliffs.
If they took this narrow path, while time would be greatly saved, the danger would markedly increase. If someone ambushed from both sides of the valley, an attack could be launched suddenly, making it impossible for the troops walking through the valley to fight back; they could only sit and wait for death.
Wang Qi originally thought that the Imperial Army would never choose this small path, but out of caution, he still sent a scout, only to receive such unexpected news.
The Imperial Army had actually abandoned the flat main road and chosen this shortcut.
