Tie Dan couldn't be bothered with these two old guys and rushed into Tai City like a whirlwind, following the traces of the battle all the way in.
The layout of Lanling City was clear. The Lan Pond was to the west, the East Field courtyard was where the Xiao family's relatives lived, the southern part of the city was the commercial area where servants and artisans resided, and Tai City in the north was the core fortress of the Xiao family. Military camps stood tall, with female walls and city fortifications set apart, so that even if the outer city fell, it could continue to hold firm. The defense was indeed tight.
But Tie Dan was actually a little late. Obviously, others had been plotting in secret, launching an attack early to seize the initiative.
