Xue San had been in Nanyang County for over two days; after all, it was a "Great County," and even if they traveled day and night, it would take several days to leave, not to mention avoiding the garrison of the surrounding counties. Since Hou Ganxian had already heard about Ye Shikai's uprising in East County, the authorities must have received this news too. Therefore, their group must "march discreetly" to avoid conflicts.
Further south of Nanyang County lies Southern County, the former Chu Territory. Xue San had commissioned brothers from the underworld to gather information. The rebel forces had already taken root in Southern County, and once they reached there and found Hua Liandie, the group would be safe.
Looking at the boundless mountains ahead, Xue San gently nodded. Indeed, with so many mountains, the Qin Army couldn't possibly pursue them; at most, they would be "driven away."
"Are you sure about what you're saying?"
