How do I get the xpath for this element?

I need to return the codebase attribute of dependentAssembly (ie. asmv1:assembly => dependency => dependentAssembly (First one) => codebase attribute)

Here is the XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<asmv1:assembly xsi:schemaLocation="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1 assembly.adaptive.xsd" manifestVersion="1.0" xmlns:asmv1="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2" xmlns:asmv2="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2" xmlns:xrml="urn:mpeg:mpeg21:2003:01-REL-R-NS" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:asmv3="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3" xmlns:dsig="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#" xmlns:co.v1="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:clickonce.v1" xmlns:co.v2="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:clickonce.v2">
  <assemblyIdentity name="program.application" version="3.4.95.1045" publicKeyToken="98ecb8aa8cf73f16" language="neutral" processorArchitecture="msil" xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" />
  <description asmv2:publisher="publisher" asmv2:product="Magical Christmas Land" xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">Magical Christmas Land</description>
  <deployment install="true" minimumRequiredVersion="3.4.95.1045" co.v1:createDesktopShortcut="true">
    <subscription>
      <update>
        <beforeApplicationStartup />
      </update>
    </subscription>
   </deployment>
  <compatibleFrameworks xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:clickonce.v2">
   <framework targetVersion="4.5.2" profile="Client" supportedRuntime="4.0.30319" />
   <framework targetVersion="4.5.2" profile="Full" supportedRuntime="4.0.30319" />
  </compatibleFrameworks>
  <dependency>
    <dependentAssembly dependencyType="install" codebase="3.0.8\program.exe.manifest" size="214085">
      <assemblyIdentity name="program.exe" version="3.0.8" publicKeyToken="48ecb8aa8cf73f16" language="neutral" processorArchitecture="msil" type="win32" />
      <hash>
        <dsig:Transforms>
          <dsig:Transform Algorithm="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:HashTransforms.Identity" />
        </dsig:Transforms>
        <dsig:DigestMethod Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#sha256" />
        <dsig:DigestValue>rawr</dsig:DigestValue>
      </hash>
    </dependentAssembly>
  </dependency>

Here's what I tried:

This works and fetches the assembly element, and within it the 7 child nodes (dependency being one of them). As soon as I add "/asmv1:assembly/dependency" it fails and returns null.

        var nsmgr = new XmlNamespaceManager(xmlDoc.NameTable);
        nsmgr.AddNamespace("asmv1", "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1");

        var node = xmlDoc.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode(@"/asmv1:assembly", nsmgr);

This works, but it's super ugly:

var childNode = node.ChildNodes
                            .OfType<XmlElement>()
                            .First(n => n.LocalName == "dependency")
                            .ChildNodes[0]
                            .Attributes["codebase"].InnerText;

dependency inherits the default namespace which URI is urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2 :

var nsmgr = new XmlNamespaceManager(xmlDoc.NameTable);
nsmgr.AddNamespace("asmv1", "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1");
nsmgr.AddNamespace("asmv2", "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2");

var node = xmlDoc.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode(@"/asmv1:assembly/asmv2:dependency", nsmgr);
