"The gate of the villa. There is only one road from the mountain col to the villa. If there is a flying horse coming, send a message or intercept it." He Lingchuan has already planned, "I will go to Zhao Song for a drink tonight. If he receives the Feixun magical power on the way, I will
I will control him as soon as possible."
If the situation worsens to that point, he only needs to buy time for everyone to escape.
Wan Qiliang nodded: "Okay, I'll go to the mountain col and keep an eye on it."
Wan Qifeng also said: "I asked the brothers to prepare for the attack tonight."
"Don't scare yourself first." He Lingchuan analyzed, "Since King Yao is hosting a banquet, Bai Ziqi, as the protagonist, cannot leave the palace lightly. Besides, Qingyang has also gone, which means King Yao, Bai Ziqi and Qingyang are all in the palace.
All in public."
Dong Rui: "So?"
"If you want to capture Emperor Jiuyou, at least one of them must be there to take charge, right?" He Lingchuan could still laugh, "Otherwise, it would be too much fun."
Is Emperor Jiuyou someone they can take down by just giving an order casually and sending a group of troops?
Dong Rui understood: "That means you and I are still safe before the banquet is over?"
"Looking at it from another angle, if they make any moves, we won't see the real chapter until after the night banquet." He Lingchuan looked at the sky, "If you don't rush around, we still have time to prepare. Afeng, take the people to keep an eye on Zhao Song's stewards.
Yes, but be careful not to make them suspicious."
"yes!"
He Lingchuan said to Wang Fubao again: "Go to the east gate of Tianshui and keep an eye on it. If the person coming is not good, break thousands of knots to warn."
Qianqianknot is a pair of grass knots. Within ten miles of each other, if one grass knot breaks, the other will break immediately.
A very simple messaging tool, but easy to use.
Wang Fubao responded, turned around and went out.
He Lingchuan then made some arrangements, and then said: "Do your own thing and don't attract attention."
Everyone dispersed.
The moonlight was like water tonight. He Lingchuan looked at Tianshui City to the west and exhaled.
He could foresee that chaos was coming in the Yao Kingdom, but at this moment, the Demon Puppet Master Organization appeared, and even Bai Ziqi came to join in the fun.
It’s really a chaotic dance of demons.
…
Nothing happened all night.
In the palace of King Yao, Bai Ziqi and the monarchs and ministers of Yao Kingdom finished their wine, watched the singing and dancing, and chatted. Then the song ended and everyone went home to rest.
There were no troops or horses mobilized in the palace or in the city.
Wang Fubao stayed at the gate of the eastern suburbs all night. Only a few merchants came in and out of the east gate of Tianshui City.
In Yongquan Villa, Zhao Song and others went to have a rest after having a drink with He Lingchuan. During the process, no guards came to summon him for a message, and no suspicious bird monsters flew near.
In the early morning, He Lingchuan received three pieces of news:
First of all, King Yao invited Bai Ziqi and Qingyang Supervisor to the palace this morning at the banquet last night to have breakfast together.
Bai Ziqi agreed on the spot.
Secondly, Qingyang stayed at the palace after the night banquet and did not return to Youhu Xiaozhu.
Finally, just after the temple fair and blessing ceremony yesterday morning, Bai Ziqi suddenly appeared in Tianshui City and entered the main temple of Miao Zhantian. But it was not until a few hours later that King Yao invited him into the palace.
At this time, Yao Palace temporarily decided to hold a reception banquet.
When He Lingchuan received these three pieces of news, especially when he got the last note, he finally let go of his hanging heart.
Dong Rui poked his head around and asked, "How about it? These three are all good news?"
"Yes, it's all good news." He Lingchuan pointed to the last note, "Especially the third one."
"Is Bai Ziqi staying in the temple?" Dong Rui didn't understand.
"Although he holds a high position, Bai Ziqi is quite outspoken, and his temperament is different from that of ordinary officials." He Lingchuan analyzed, "When he entered Tianshui City, he went straight to Miaozhantian Temple instead of entering the palace first and going through the diplomatic process.
.You can say that he doesn’t take King Yao seriously, but——”
The Bejia people look down on the Yao people. Isn't that a normal part of the chain of contempt? Besides, what is Bai Ziqi's status? He is the envoy of the Tiangong Duyun, and he is a person below a few people in Lingxu City, but above ten thousand people.
Even when facing King Yao, he would not hide the arrogance from his bones.
This point is actually very obvious in Qingyang.
"But this also shows that the first thing Bai Ziqi has to do when he comes to Yao Kingdom is the temple matters. He must first see the Liang envoy." He Lingchuan said sternly, "If he is here to arrest me, he should first see me.
King Yao mobilized troops and horses. But this sign has not appeared yet."
Dong Rui snorted: "Maybe he wants to arrest you too, but he's not that urgent."
"How long did it take for King Yao to meet him? It sounds like King Yao didn't know anything about it beforehand. Moreover, the notice for the night banquet was also issued at short notice, and many nobles were not present."
With incomplete clues, He Lingchuan had to make a decision based on sporadic clues. This was a huge adventure in itself. Having said that, how could someone who planned big things have such comprehensive information for analysis at all times?
Stay or go?
If he evacuates now, he may be able to escape from Yao Kingdom as soon as possible, but if he puts in so much effort in advance, he will make wedding clothes for others.
If you choose to stay, the risk factor increases exponentially.
He Lingchuan only considered it for a second before making a decision: "It's not impossible, let's see what happens today and tomorrow."
He decided to stay.
Wealth and wealth are found in danger.
Do you want stability, no risk and no pain? Then go home and farm.
The Yangshan guards who had been nervously preparing for the battle all night finally dared to relax a little. He Lingchuan called them over again and made some arrangements again.
If Bai Ziqi targets him, He Lingchuan will choose the best strategy.
After Wan Qifeng and others left, He Lingchuan made an afterthought: "Actually, if they wanted to take me, they could have announced me to the palace to attend the banquet last night."
He, a foreign businessman without a job or title, went to attend the reception banquet hosted by King Yao for the envoy of the Heavenly Palace. It was originally an unjust and unreasonable statement; but as long as King Yao nodded, there was nothing wrong with the etiquette.
He Lingchuan could only bring a small number of guards to the banquet, and after entering the palace, he became a turtle in a urn.
Dong Rui gave him a roll of his eyes: "If you didn't tell me earlier, you would have worried me all night!"
He Lingchuan smiled.
He had thought of it from the beginning, but the situation was so big that he couldn't let Dong Rui and his men relax their vigilance. Sometimes, crises erupt out of impossibility.
This crisis happened suddenly, but it also passed quietly, and most people did not know what happened.
Before and after last night's banquet, Bai Ziqi, Yao Wang, and Qingyang all met and chatted. This was the most dangerous moment for He Lingchuan.
If Bai Ziqi identified He Lingchuan as Emperor Jiuyou, King Yao would most likely summon or arrest He Lingchuan immediately.
After this night, the risk is greatly reduced.
Is it because Bai Ziqi hasn't found out He Lingchuan yet, or are they planning to wait until the situation in Yao Kingdom changes before taking action?
Thinking of this, He Lingchuan suddenly slapped the table: "I understand!"
The breakfast for the two of them was a stack of pan-fried cakes with vanilla milk. The milk was also in a basin, and Yao Ren mixed it with vanilla extract. It tasted attractive and sweet. But Dong Rui drank it after a few sips.
