"Okay, don't disturb Mr. Tao. I'll leave first." Meng Shanming was polite and asked Luo Da'an to push him away.
When there was no one else around, Guan Fangyi immediately asked out of curiosity: "Is this lake related to saving the princess and the young prince?"
Niu Youdao said firmly, "No!"
"Uh..." Guan Fangyi was stunned for a moment, curious, "It has nothing to do with it? Then you are staring at the lake and asking so many questions, and you still want Meng Shuai not to leak the secret?"
Niu Youdao didn't say anything, which meant he didn't want to explain.
Guan Fangyi rolled her eyes habitually. She knew that if someone didn't say anything, it would be useless to ask. Sometimes she really wanted to strangle this guy to death. It was so appetizing.
She just turned around slightly dissatisfied, and Niu Youdao, who was staring at the map, suddenly said, "Let Yun Ji do it."
"Yes, my Taoist master!" Guan Fangyi responded angrily and left muttering, "I just have to run errands..."
Inside the Chinese military tent.
As soon as Meng Shanming came back, Shang Chaozong immediately stepped forward to greet him and asked in a low voice and eagerly: "How is it?"
At this point, it is impossible for him to retreat, but no one can be ruthless. After all, they are his sister and his son. It is a lie to say that he does not want to save them.
The enemy has made it very clear that if they don't comply, they will do something unsightly to Shang Shuqing. This is not just a matter of death. Shang Shuqing is very likely to die before he dies. Suffering huge humiliation, this matter has always made him worried.
But it was obvious that the hostages were in the hands of the enemy. After eliminating the possibility of exchange, saving his sister and son would most likely involve taking huge risks. Begging Niu Youdao to take risks to save people? The life of your son and sister is life, but the life of others is not life? Let him say it how he wants.
Among the two, only Meng Shanming was suitable to ask Niu Youdao, and only Meng Shanming was suitable to ask Niu Youdao.
Meng Shanming comforted him: "My lord, don't be anxious, Taoist master is probably thinking of a solution."
"Should it?" Shang Chaozong asked, "How can Uncle Meng say this?"
Meng Shanming pointed at the newly hung map, "Master Dao was just asking me about the situation of Jiaohu, where Zhao Jun relies on. He has never intervened in the war, so the sudden question is definitely not because of the war. It should be What's the plan..." He told the general story.
"Asking about the depth of the lake?" Shang Chaozong was suspicious, and then said: "Okay, I will find a reliable monk now to find a way to secretly sneak into Jiaohu Lake, and try to find out the situation in the lake for Taoist master's use."
Meng Shanming grabbed him and sighed: "Your Majesty, Master Dao told me that the situation he asked about cannot be leaked. There must be a reason. He also said that the situation in Jiaohu is enough. Your Majesty, please don't make any more trouble." Master Dao As I said, we will give us a definite answer later. Having said this, Your Majesty, please be patient!"
Shang Chao Zong knew that what he said was reasonable, so he closed his eyes hard and pinched his forehead hard, as if to try to wake himself up. He felt a little confused, so he closed his eyes and murmured: "If your son is gone, you can regenerate. The war is ruthless." , Dead people are normal! But how can I watch Qing'er being humiliated? If so, how can I explain to my dead parents and brothers?" His expression was very painful.
Meng Shanming's expression was also tangled. Once an attack is launched here, the enemy will definitely be angered. Once the enemy strips Shang Shuqing naked in front of thousands of troops, how embarrassing will it be for this side!
That girl has always been knowledgeable and courteous, and she is deeply loved by him. He has no children and has always treated her like his own daughter. He really can't bear to suffer this.
"Alas!" Meng Shanming looked up to the sky and sighed, thinking how could that girl have such a miserable life? What woman doesn't love beauty, her whole life was delayed by a face, and now she suffers this again. "I hope Master Dao can turn the tide and help the princess and the young prince escape this disaster!"
Shang Chaozong was silent, knowing that Meng Shanming could not guarantee...
Yunji came and entered the tent to see Niu Youdao standing in front of the map. She walked over and asked, "What's going on?"
Niu Youdao turned around, smiled, and asked, "You have been in the Zhao Kingdom for many years, and the Zhao Kingdom also encircled and suppressed Duanyun Mountain. How much does the Zhao Kingdom know about your ability to escape from the ground?"
After hearing this, Guan Fangyi's eyes flashed as he followed.
Yun Ji replied: "Surviving in the cracks, how can the means of saving lives allow the encirclement and suppression people to find out the details, naturally they will not make it public. However, I am good at drilling into caves, and someone in the Zhao State knows it. At this time, you ask What’s this for?”
Niu Youdao turned around and raised his hand, pointing on the map, "Here is where Zhao Junzhong's military tent is. The princess and the young prince will not be too far away from here."
Yun Ji stared at the place he pointed at, her eyes flickered slightly, and she said suspiciously: "You don't want me to escape and save people, do you?"
Niu Youdao nodded: "That's exactly what I meant! I delayed it for a day just to make this plan. See if you can escape to the ground at night and touch this place to rescue the people. If you need any cooperation, just tell me , let’s discuss it.”
"No need to discuss." Yun Ji shook her head, "This can't be successful! You also know that the enemy will detain the princess and the young prince near the Zhongjun Tent and keep them under close supervision. Where is the Zhongjun Tent? There must be a large number of experts gathered to protect them. , it is difficult for others to get close. I can hide there without any problem, but there is no way to get close to the ground. Once it is close to the ground, its movement will be difficult to escape the detection of the monks, let alone a large number of monks. "
"Besides, can you confirm the specific location where the princess and the others are being guarded? If I search everywhere, it will become easier to be discovered. Your idea is unrealistic."
Niu Youdao was silent for a moment, and then asked: "If I can find the specific location of the princess and the young prince, can you take them away?"
Yun Ji: "The first thing is to ensure that no one is discovered. You know, I made it very clear to you in Yanjing. I can move freely underground without any problem. I can escape quickly. Once I have something outside me , is still a big living person, and cannot withstand deep squeezing and rubbing. I need to be careful, otherwise I will kill the person, not to mention that when I am attacked, the underground pressure will increase sharply, and I will be a burden then. , causing me to be unable to move freely.”
"You should understand that escaping from a dangerous situation too slowly is not feasible. You don't know what's going on over there with Zhao Jun. There are so many masters gathered here, especially those old guys who kidnapped the princess. I can't do anything about it." Take the princess and the others to escape smoothly. Once they take action, they can pull the princess and the others out of the ground in an instant. At that time, I will be the only one to escape. Do you think I still need to run? That kind of place, Can you guarantee that I won’t be discovered when I go?”
Yes, she understood everything Niu Youdao said. Niu Youdao said: "Since it is impossible to avoid being discovered, let's put aside this method and think about it in a feasible direction. The so-called discovery or not, in the final analysis, can it be given to you? It doesn’t matter if you have enough time to escape, it doesn’t matter whether you find it or not, am I right to say that?”
Yun Ji nodded, "That's right."
Niu Youdao: "If I leave the princess and the young prince to you, how long will it take for you to take them out of danger?"
Yun Ji: "We have to count at least fifteen times! If you can give me fifteen times to count, I can ensure their escape."
Niu Youdao: "Fifteen counts, okay, just fifteen counts, I will give you fifteen counts of time, and you help me rescue them!"
Do you really want to do it? Yun Ji was surprised, "But the question is, how can you give them to me? It's difficult for us to get close, so how can you give me fifteen seconds?"
Niu Youdao: "Don't worry about this, I'll take care of it." He turned around and asked Guan Fangyi, "Matchmaker, how many Heavenly Sword Talismans do you have on you?"
Guan Fangyi said in a daze: "Two pieces."
"Two pieces are not enough." Niu Youdao shook his head vigorously, "Can you explain to me, how many pieces can you buy with all the belongings you have?"
Guan Fangyi curled her lips and said with some reluctance: "I was asked to pay again... six at most, no more. This contains the capital I used to sell Fufangyuan."
"Six cards, plus the two in your hand, a total of eight, should be enough." Niu Youdao estimated and thought about it, and then said: "It's not too far from Star Reaching City, half a day should be enough to get there and back. , you immediately arrange for people to buy, don't care about money, take out as many possessions as you have, and I will pay you double back later, whatever you can buy is whatever you can. Time is limited, go quickly, I want to use it! By the way, don't let the three big When the people sent found out, they called Wu Zhaoxing to escort them to avoid any accidents on the way. Go quickly!"
"Hmph!" Guan Fangyi snorted in dissatisfaction, but knowing that now was not the time to be vindictive, she shook her head and left the arrangement quickly.
Yun Ji: "Can you use the Heavenly Sword Talisman to buy me time?"
Niu Youdao nodded slightly.
…
As night fell and the sky regained its light, a large bird descended. Wu Laoer, Xu Laoliu and Wu Zhaoxing came back and met Guan Fangyi.
Guan Fangyi, who had stuffed something into her sleeve, looked around, turned around, opened the curtain and entered the tent. She said angrily to Niu Youdao who was sitting cross-legged and meditating: "Here, the thing is here." He took out six Heavenly Sword Talisman and then Two more pages were turned over and added.
Niu Youdao opened his eyes, took the things and checked them, not wanting anything to go wrong.
Guan Fangyi did not forget to remind me, "As promised, pay me back double."
Niu Youdao didn't say much. He greeted Yun Ji, who was also waiting in a corner of the tent, sitting cross-legged and meditating. They got up and left the tent together.
Guan Fangyi waved a round fan in her hand, twisted her waist, and followed like a follower.
In the Chinese military tent, Meng Shanming was dozing off in his wheelchair. He was covered with a blanket under the dim light. After all, he was getting older and couldn't bear to stay up for a long time.
Shang Chaozong could not sleep, sometimes sitting and sometimes walking back and forth.
"Master Tao!" Shang Chaozong suddenly called out, waking Meng Shanming from his drowsiness. He opened his eyes and saw the three people walking towards him.
The words 'I'll give you a reply later' made the two of them wait until now, and finally the person they were waiting for came.
Seeing Shang Chaozong's eyes covered with bloodshot eyes, Niu Youdao wanted to say something to him, but in the end he didn't say it, understanding his mood.
Without any nonsense, Niu Youdao said straight to the point: "I have some idea about the matter between the princess and the young prince, but the next thing needs the prince's cooperation!"
Meng Shanming woke up completely in an instant and listened attentively.
Shang Chaozong nodded repeatedly, "No matter what the Taoist orders, as long as I can do it, I will obey it!"
