Shi Xiong nodded and said, "Yes, Sister Guo, thanks to you, otherwise my back would have been opened like a flower. Your quick wits, Sister Guo, have my utmost admiration!"
Guo Xiangyu smiled slightly, her smile like flowers in bloom on a spring day, beautiful and charming, and said, "Hero Xie, Xiaoxiongzi, you flatter me. We are here to gather intelligence together, and naturally, we should watch out for each other. Traversing the Jianghu, we must advance hand in hand to face many dangers." After a short rest, the three continued forward. They followed a hidden path to the depths of a valley.
There, in the valley, stood a massive warehouse, heavily guarded with numerous sentries.
Those guards were clad in black uniforms, holding long spears, their gaze alert, like a pack of well-trained hounds.
The three quietly sneaked near the warehouse, peered through the window, and saw the warehouse filled with bags of salt, with some people in strange and colorful outfits busily working.
