CHAPTER 170: CHAPTER 170: THIS PERSON IS TRULY IMPRESSIVE; THEY MISJUDGED HIM

When Bai San returned, those 50 people were also brought along.

Pei Shu’er carefully observed them and noticed that they all had bright, sharp eyes, suggesting they had mastered their inner strength.

She nodded, "Alright, please follow me."

Since there were just too many people, Pei Shu’er bought a courtyard during the day, spending three hundred taels of silver.

This courtyard had been abandoned for a long time, located in a remote area.

Only upon reaching the courtyard did Pei Shu’er begin to assign their tasks.

"Ten of you will guard the prison tonight. If you notice any unusual movements, inform me immediately, especially in the War King’s cell. Everyone please remember the prison guards’ activity patterns around."

"Twenty of you will patrol various places in the city to keep an eye on the officials. Use a cat’s meow to signal if there’s anything unusual."

"Fifteen of you, investigate the city defense map to find places we can escape and how many officials are guarding them."

"Additionally, five people come with me to infiltrate the prison; we’ll stay by the War King’s side."

"Follow my orders at the signal of an owl’s call; everyone must return to this courtyard within half an hour, where we’ll set up the next task."

"Any objections?"

Since they took the money, naturally no one had any objections.

Especially since this girl’s plan seemed a bit puzzling to everyone.

Even if they wanted to object, they wouldn’t know where to start.

It’s not that Pei Shu’er didn’t want to explain all the steps at once, she just couldn’t.

The more steps she explained, the higher the chance of these people making mistakes.

Moreover, they might get muddled.

These experts looked like they weren’t the brightest...

Rather than that, it might be better to take it step-by-step, gathering here.

Complete one step, then proceed with the next order.

They just need to follow orders.

Fifty experts spread throughout the Capital.

The five experts still thought they had to charge straight into the prison, but now they looked ashen, five people going to their deaths.

It wasn’t until "this man" led them to a very small courtyard that they realized this man in black seemed less reliable than they had imagined.

The five experts looked at each other. Earlier, they thought maybe this person could save the War King.

But now, they felt their lives might also be forfeited because of him.

Pei Shu’er sensed their looks, but she didn’t explain, she simply watched the small courtyard quietly.

Not until a man in plain clothes went to wash up did Pei Shu’er speak to the experts.

"Take me down."

An expert carried Pei Shu’er down from the rooftop, and Pei Shu’er gestured to everyone, and they rushed towards the man.

That night he was changing shifts and was putting on the prison guard’s uniform when the five experts knocked him out.

One hit each, suggesting this prison guard might not wake up till the next morning.

The five experts felt they were underestimated, five people ganging up on one person without any inner strength.

To them, it was simply an insult.

Pei Shu’er put on his clothes and applied makeup.

When she emerged again, the assassins almost thought the prison guard had woken up again.

Almost attacked her.

Fortunately, Pei Shu’er used that Jianghu person’s voice, stopping their actions.

Pei Shu’er said, "Follow me to the next place."

The next location was also a prison guard’s residence. Pei Shu’er repeated the process, then had an expert with a similar build wear the prison guard’s uniform, applying makeup for him too.

Once the makeup was done, the other experts looked at this Jianghu person with changed eyes.

Who knew what special thing those black and red things were that, when applied to someone, caused such a big change.

Most impressively, it was this Jianghu person.

His Disguise Technique was simpler and quicker than other Disguise Masters and didn’t require as many complex tools, taking only half the time an incense stick takes to burn.

Other Disguise Masters could take several hours to work on a disguise.

Pei Shu’er didn’t waste time, finishing this one, then pointed somewhere else.

"Go there."

All five people were knocked out and hidden in a secluded house after being disguised.

The five experts were completely convinced by Pei Shu’er’s Disguise Technique.

Even those Disguise Masters, when disguising, sometimes had fluctuating skill levels, only the top-tier ones performed consistently.

But this Jianghu person was different; every disguise was incredibly accurate.

What’s absurd was that even the body shapes could be faked.

Pei Shu’er walked while saying, "Remember what I just told you about those people’s mannerisms. You should have seen them before knocking them out."

"Try to mimic them as much as possible when the time comes, just don’t speak. Let me do the talking."

The five experts nodded repeatedly, no longer daring to underestimate her.

Earlier, they had underestimated this Jianghu person.

If he could put up 1500 taels of silver to hire them, he’s not some brainless fool.

Before their shift change, they finally reached the prison and completed the handover with other prison guards.

Pei Shu’er copied the prison guard’s actions and walked towards the prison.

The five experts were a bit nervous; there were over a hundred guards in this prison on the surface.

And there were multiple hidden officials guarding the place.

If the six of them were exposed, they would be swarmed like hornets.

All it would take was for that Jianghu person to speak, and they’d be completely exposed.

Now they regretted taking the job, how could the War King’s prison be so easily broken into?

For a mere thirty taels of silver, was it worth five of them against a hundred people?

Inside the prison, Pei Shu’er imitated the prison guard, greeting everyone.

The faces of the others were indifferent since the Prisoner Ma wasn’t very likable, speaking very little.

But even with that cold demeanor, they didn’t notice any flaw in Pei Shu’er.

Which made it easier for Pei Shu’er to act. She chose someone talkative on purpose; otherwise, speaking all day, she might slip up.

But those five experts seemed petrified, looking at Pei Shu’er in disbelief.

This... this Jianghu person’s voice was exactly like Prisoner Ma’s!

It turned out this person didn’t just excel in Disguise Technique, but also in oral skills?

Someone spoke to the five experts, raising their hackles.

Not that they were inexperienced, the situation was just too perilous.

They didn’t have this employer’s oral skills!

Once they spoke, even a fool would sense something was amiss.

Just then, Pei Shu’er stood behind one expert, imitating the prison guard’s voice.

She perfected the speech, sounding exactly like the guard, even the distance was accurate.

Sounding as if it was the expert himself speaking, not from behind him.

"Cough, cough, caught a cold today, my throat really hurts, not suitable for talking."
