Chapter 83: The Rescue Girl (1)
Everyone here is young, but they have all experienced the baptism of war.
Knowing that there would be many unforeseen dangers in the next action, they were not nervous or afraid, but they were also slightly excited.
After a few jokes, the atmosphere in the guest room became more relaxed.
Someone asked: "Second Young Master, where should we meet after we set the fire?"
This is the issue that everyone is most concerned about right now.
Although Liuyun Capital City is far less prosperous than the Great Wei Capital, it is still a city with a large population and a vast area.
The four doors were closed tightly at night. If they didn't plan out the method and route of evacuation in advance, not to mention rescuing people, even they themselves wouldn't be safe.
Huan Yu said: "Among the four gates of Liuyun Capital, the east, south and west gates are all guarded by the direct descendants of Marshal Liang Jun. Only the north gate is guarded by General Merton's men.
General Merton's military exploits are far inferior to Liang Jun's, but he is the direct cousin of Liuyun Kingdom's leader, and he has pure Liuyun blood flowing through him, so he also has considerable influence in the army.
Especially in recent years, he has repeatedly won battles with several small countries in the north. He has gradually gained prestige in the court and among the people, and has gradually become a rival to Liang Jun.
But in terms of real strength, he was not even a little bit behind Liang Jun. In addition, he was eager to expand his power, so the generals under his command were a mixed bag, and his military discipline was relatively loose compared to Liang Jun.
It is much easier to find loopholes in him than to break through from Liang Jun."
Someone else asked: "Second Young Master's idea is good, but if we want to leave through the North City Gate, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
Just as Huan Yu was about to explain, there was a knock on the door of the guest room.
A smile appeared on his face: "If I guess correctly, there is a way to leave Liuyun Capital."
The person who asked the question was very curious and quickly walked over and opened the door.
The person who knocked on the door was extremely thin, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks and small eyes. Although he was not good-looking, his whole body exuded a cleverness that was different from ordinary people.
He smiled and hugged his fists: "Hello, Brother Song."
The young leader surnamed Song held on to the door frame and cursed with a smile: "Seventh sister, where have you been hiding and lazing around in the past few months?"
It turns out that this thin man's surname is Qi, and his last name only has the character "Mei".
Taking advantage of his stature, he has developed the skill of flying over walls and flying over walls. He is an extremely outstanding scout.
Qi Mei's brain is as flexible as her body, and her personality is lively. She likes to joke with people the most.
Therefore, based on the homophony of his name, everyone called him "Qimei".
Qi Mei has never cared about this special nickname, and today is no exception.
As soon as he was short, he slipped under the arm of the little leader named Song.
"Hello, Second Young Master, how are you all, brothers!" He looked around with his fists in his hands, as a greeting to everyone.
Everyone came up and joked with him.
After the greetings, Qi Mei took out something from his arms and held it in front of Huan Yu.
"Second Young Master, I have fulfilled my mission. This is Merton's token."
Huan Yu said happily: "Thank you for your hard work."
After saying that, he took the token and studied it carefully.
The token is made of black iron, and the pattern is not complicated. The front is engraved with the word "Modun" in Liuyun language, and the reverse is engraved with a pig's head with fangs.
The corners of Huan Yu's mouth twitched slightly.
The people of Liuyun Kingdom are still honest and carve a pig's head on the token.
He had heard before that Merton had twelve tokens in his hand, which were given to his most trusted subordinates respectively.
In addition to the word "Meton" on each token, there is also an animal head.
The animal heads correspond to the twelve zodiac signs, and the pig head naturally ranks last.
Qi Mei said: "Second Young Master, don't worry, General Ji Keqing, who is responsible for guarding the North City Gate, is not in the mansion recently.
The fake token left by his subordinates in his study was also carefully made, and ordinary people would not be able to see it at all."
A Liang said: "Seventh sister, you really regard someone else's mansion as your own. How many times do you have to go in and out to be so thorough?"
The young leader surnamed Song also praised: "In the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory was thousands of miles away. It turns out that the second young master had planned everything before he was in Tianshui County."
Qi Meixiao looked at Huan Yu: "Second Young Master, on this trip we not only want to rescue people successfully, but also teach Liuyun people a lesson.
Burn down the relatively large forage farms and warehouses near the capital, let them taste the taste of starvation, and see how they continue to harass the Wei border!"
Huan Yu smiled and said: "With this token, we can go all the way north and enter the Wei Dynasty from Wuwei County.
Although the journey will be longer, it can avoid Liang Jun's defense zone.
However, we cannot be careless. Liang Jun has always been cunning, and he will make a quick judgment after the incident.
We must return to Dawei as quickly as possible without any delay on the way."
Everyone responded in unison.
Huan Yu added: "Liang Ruoru's men in uniform from the Liuyun Army have already gone to prepare. We just have to do what we should do well and we must not make any mistakes."
※※※※
Concubine Rong’s birthday was very lively.
Although no formal palace banquet was held, there were many rewards and gifts to be received.
Aunt Yang's people entered the palace early in the morning to deliver congratulatory gifts, and successfully took Xiao Bi's letter out of the palace and handed it into Huan Yu's hands.
Everything depends on timing, and the action is scheduled for that night.
Concubine Rong set up more than a dozen tables of wine in her palace, and all the concubines with high status in the harem were invited.
The Empress of the Kingdom is the master of the harem. Even though the relationship between the two has been at odds for a long time, she is still the first to receive the invitation.
On the contrary, Miss Xing, the cousin who was once highly valued by Concubine Rong, was not invited.
As for Liang Qian, a low-level concubine who has not yet slept with her, she is naturally not invited.
This night happened to be Xiao Bi's turn to be on duty. She put a tranquilizer in Liang Qian and Cao'er's tea, and the master and servant fell asleep as soon as it got dark.
Xiao Bi tidied herself up and sneaked into Antai Palace again.
Since her last night visit to the island in the middle of the lake, Jing Ruo seemed to have noticed something. She stayed with Miss Xing all day long and refused to leave her for a moment.
After all, Miss Xing is only a seven-year-old child. Although she is smart enough, she is very lacking in experience and means of dealing with people.
Moreover, Jing Ruo was her biological mother after all, so she was afraid that she would be exposed as soon as the candy stuck to her.
After losing her temper a few times, Miss Xing could only acquiesce to the fact that Jing Ruo ate and slept with her.
When Xiao Bi entered the island in the middle of the lake, it was already dark.
The small courtyard was dark without any light, and everyone had obviously fallen asleep.
She entered the main room in a familiar manner and came to the bedside quietly.
Two breaths made her frown.
This woman Jing Ruo is really shrewd.
Although I didn't get the handle, I was more vigilant.
