After disguising himself, Li Xifeng left the team. After all, he had no fighting ability at all, and Ye Li didn't want him to stay here and take risks.
Ye Li and the fifty-five other people, along with the members of the Traveling Merchants Guild who were arranged nearby, walked towards Canghu City together.
They looked a little unnatural at first, but every one of the people arranged by the Merchants Association this time was an intelligence scout. Under their guidance, Ye Li and others quickly and naturally integrated into the role of the caravan.
They moved slowly and after arriving at Canghu City, they did not enter the city, but walked around the city wall in another direction.
To outsiders, this was just an ordinary caravan passing through Canghu City.
“Elder Ye, Canghu Villa is not far in front of us on the left, but we are not going there now because it is a dead end.
Anyone who walked there, unless they were lost, was definitely going to Canghu Villa, which would easily expose their purpose.
We turned right at the fork in the road ahead and there was a hilly area not far away where we had already arranged a hiding place.
In that secluded place, you can hide yourself and quietly look at Canghu Villa from a distance.
We now have a map of the villa in our hands, and I will tell you where in the villa we might store materials."
The person who spoke was the leader of the team. His name was unknown and he just called himself Xiaodao.
Ye Li nodded upon hearing this and said, "Thank you very much, Brother Xiaodao."
When Xiao Dao heard Ye Li calling him "Big Brother", he quickly waved his hand and said, "Elder, please don't embarrass me. Just call me Xiao Dao."
Seeing the frightened look on Xiaodao's face, Ye Li felt embarrassed to call him casually anymore, so he could only nod and call him Xiaodao.
The group walked to a fork in the road not far ahead, and then turned straight to the right. With Xiaodao's reminder, Ye Li and others had noticed that there was a very low wooden shed near the fork in the road.
The wooden shed was surrounded by bushes, and was completely hidden inside them. If Ye Li and the others hadn't been reminded, they would not have noticed this place at all.
"That is a secret outpost of Canghu Villa. The other side has sentries hiding there. Once they find an enemy approaching, they will immediately inform the people in the villa.
So before you take action tonight, you must first remove this secret sentry.
After removing this secret sentry, it will take much longer for the people in the villa to discover you. When they find out that you are attacking, it will not be so easy for them to escape or organize a resistance.
If you seize the initiative, it will be of great help to the battle situation."
Xiaodao said to Ye Li.
Afterwards, they soon came to a hill not far ahead. There was a sunken area on the hill that could hide people like a trench.
A number of observation holes have been made in the sunken area in advance, allowing people to hide in the pits and observe the situation outside.
After Ye Li and the others bent down and hid inside, they began to check the situation of Canghu Villa through the observation port.
It was afternoon and the weather was clear. They looked out from the observation port and everything in Canghu Villa not far away was clearly visible to everyone.
Xiaodao crawled beside Ye Li, then took out a map of the villa and placed it in front of Ye Li, saying: "This map was drawn after our observations here. Many places were inferred by us based on the general structure of the house, and it should be 90% reliable.
Look here first. These places are the enemy's sentries and covert sentries. If you want to sneak in, you must take these places first..."
Xiaodao compared the map with the actual scene of Canghu Villa that everyone could see, and pointed out every important area to everyone.
After everyone had read it, Xiaodao also explained the distribution of people in the villa one by one, which could be said to be very detailed.
Everyone gathered together to discuss it, and finally decided to try a stealth operation.
This proposal was put forward by Ye Li because his personal combat condition was very suitable for stealth operations.
His physical strength was comparable to that of a demon beast in the early stage of the divine phase, and he was proficient in soul-moving spells and had several experiences in stealth combat, so he wanted to try and see if he could eliminate all the enemy outposts in one go.
If they can eliminate the enemy's outposts, their troops can directly invade the villa and annihilate most of the enemy's manpower in a silent manner.
Although annihilating the enemy completely is not their primary mission, but if they can do so and move away all the valuable things in the manor, they can completely confuse the public and prevent the Dahuntian organization from realizing that their purpose is to take away the Fenghuixing Iron.
Lang Taotian and the others initially rejected this proposal. They did not want Ye Li to take risks. If he encountered a master at the Fu Zun level, Ye Li would most likely be killed.
However, under Ye Li's insistence, Lang Taotian and the others decided to let Ye Li give it a try. However, once they found that Ye Li was in danger, they would immediately show up and terminate Ye Li's infiltration plan.
After some preparation, everyone waited quietly for the night to come.
Xiaodao and others have little combat power. They are just spies of the Traveling Merchants Guild, proficient in various reconnaissance skills, so they will not participate in the battle and left the mountain before dark.
After the night fell completely, Ye Li and others entered a state of combat readiness, waiting for the arrival of deeper night.
Soon, the moon rose to the highest point in the sky. There were no clouds blocking the view, but fortunately, the moon today was only a waning crescent, so the surrounding environment did not appear too bright.
Everyone in the team has now changed into night clothes and put on masks. They don't want to expose themselves in the battle. After all, no one knows whether they will meet someone they know, so the more cautious you are, the better.
Ye Li, with his face covered, left the hill first, then quietly turned into a breeze and walked towards the fork in the road.
Like a nimble black panther, Ye Li moved quickly between the covers. His strong body control ability allowed him to reach the fork in the road with almost no noise.
Crouching behind a rock, Ye Li took advantage of the cover of the bushes to steal a glance at the wooden shed. The shed was hidden in the night and the grass, and no movement could be seen.
At the fork in the road, Ye Li had no way of determining how many people were in the wooden shed, let alone which direction the people in the wooden shed would look.
If he rushed over now, he would easily be discovered by the other party, so he had to think of a way to attract the other party's attention.
