Chapter 1273: Defeating the Enemy in a Single Move
The students responsible for guarding the city gate were very hesitant.
Behind Ji You, He Yu and Liu Jia kept a straight face the whole time without uttering a word, neither dared to make a sound for fear of exposing themselves. To appear normal, He Yu and Liu Jia kept their eyes forward, following closely behind Ji You.
The appearance of the three was utterly disheveled, with dirt-streaked faces and filthy clothes. The leading guard, watching this scene, felt a bit curious about where these three had returned from and how they ended up like this.
At this moment, a chunk of mud fell from Ji You’s face. She casually raised her hand to wipe it off and faced the guard’s odd gaze, keeping a stern expression as she said, "Don’t be surprised, this is just our appropriate disguise."
"Oh—" The guard suddenly understood, "I thought you had already fought a battle on the frontline."
Ji You chuckled bitterly, shaking her head, "Actually, we didn’t have a chance to fight. We were lurking all the way and when we were about to approach the frontline, we discovered some unusual spots, so we immediately retreated, which made us look more bedraggled than expected."
Ji You explained briefly, and then shifted her tone to slightly anxious, "Brother, we can’t afford any delays."
Ji You spoke and acted without any hint of difficulty or hesitation on her face, displaying pure natural behavior, which led the lead guard to think for a moment and say, "I’ll discuss this with the team leader."
Ji You was delighted and said, "Please do."
Soon after, the boy communicated briefly with Shaun, and Ji You heard Shaun’s voice coming from the communication device on the boy’s chest, "Let her in."
The boy said, "Quickly go inside."
Ji You quickly led the people to go inside, then the boy suddenly said, "Wang Rumei and Xie Haisheng shouldn’t go in for now, stay with us to guard the city gate."
