"You mean that the government was aware of our plan in advance and then set up an ambush at the Governor's Mansion, resulting in the arrest of two commanders, Xuan Ye and Tian Ying?"
In the hall on the first floor of Tongfu Inn, Yun Xie looked at Li Tai with a gloomy look and asked in a deep voice.
Without waiting for Li Tai's answer, An Shunshan hurriedly said: "Impossible! Impossible! When An Mou bribed the generals of the army and the guards of the governor's mansion, he acted extremely cautiously, and the people he chose were all greedy for money. , An Mou only gave them a 40% deposit, and if they want to get the remaining 60% benefit, they must help An Mou rescue the guardian! Therefore, it is impossible for these people to betray me! "
Mu Jiao and Yun Xie felt that what An Shun Shan said was reasonable and couldn't help but nod secretly.
Li Tai glanced at Anshun Mountain like an idiot, and then said in a slightly joking tone: "Although these profit-seeking people are unlikely to betray you, there is no airtight wall in the world. Do you think these little tricks of yours are... , will it be hidden from Baiqi's eyes? Don't forget that in addition to the 80,000 Bingzhou Prefecture soldiers, Taiyuan City now also has Baiqi led by Li Junxian! Baiqi is the most proficient in detecting information, and the governor's office is also It is an important place where Zhao Deyan is imprisoned, do you think Baiqihui will not place spies in the governor's mansion?"
"Hundred Cavalry!"
Yun Xie and Mu Jiao couldn't help but exclaimed when they heard this. They looked at each other and Yun Xie couldn't help but said: "So, Anshun Mountain's bribery of the army lieutenant general and the state jailer has probably been reported to Baidu a long time ago. The riding station noticed it, so the government set up an ambush in advance. This is a trap in itself, and the people in the government are waiting for the two commanders Xuan Ye and Tianying to take the bait!"
Mu Jiao stamped her feet angrily and cursed: "Damn it! These people in the government are really despicable!"
Li Tai immediately became happy when he heard this. He sneered and said, "Hey! What you said is really ridiculous. You sent people to bribe the government guards with the intention of robbing the prison. How come you blame the government people for being despicable in the end?"
"You~!"
Mu Jiao was so angry that he immediately wanted to attack Li Tai, but he probably knew that now was not the time to kill Li Tai, so he had to suppress his anger, turned to look at Yun Scorpion, and asked: "Brother, what should we do now? "
The rest of the Turkic spies in the room also set their sights on Yun Xie at this time. Now that Zhao Deyan, Xuan Ye, and Tian Ying have all been arrested, they can be said to be leaderless. In terms of qualifications, prestige, and ability, there are currently only Cloud Scorpion can temporarily take on a big role.
"Hmph! These are all your one-sided words, and what you said are all guesses. We don't know the real situation. Maybe Xuan Ye and Tian Ying have not been caught by the government, but are temporarily in a certain place in the city. It’s just a place to hide!”
Anshunshan was still making his final resistance and still shouted.
But no one criticized him.
Yun Xie looked at Li Tai and said, "Last night around midnight, a group of very bright fireworks lit up over the Governor's Mansion. This should be used by the government to convey news, right?"
Li Tai nodded when he heard this and said: "This thing is called a communication firework. It was developed by our Yanhuang Academy. This time when we go north, every student in the academy will be given a communication firework. Not only that, the accompanying imperial army will also have one. But the imperial army is now Most of them are guarding Longshan and the post house. Since you said the fireworks were lit in the direction of the Governor's Mansion, I think those 80% were set off by Baiqi. It is impossible for the defenders in Taiyuan City to have such things! This also shows that last night, Xuan Ye and Tian Ying Jie Jing must have met Bai Qi!
Hey! Baiqi appears in the Governor's Mansion, what does that mean? I believe that even if I don’t say anything, you should also know that your leaders Xuan Ye and Tianying should be reunited with Zhao Deyan in the cell right now! "
"Hmph! Then I will use your life to exchange the guard master and the two leaders with the government now!"
Seeing a little pride on Li Tai's face, Mu Jiao couldn't help but said angrily.
After saying that, he put a big hand on Li Tai's shoulder.
Li Tai glanced at the big hand and did not panic, because he knew that if he was taken out of the inn by Mu Jiao and others to exchange with the government, he would have a better chance of being rescued, at least than if he was trapped in the inn now. Easier to be rescued!
"Mu Jiao! Don't be impulsive!"
Yun Scorpion stopped Mu Jiao's actions again, and he said solemnly: "Now he is the only bargaining chip in our hands, we can't take it out so easily!"
Mu Jiao asked anxiously: "What should the guard master and the two leaders do? I don't believe that if we put the knife on King Wei's neck, the government will not obediently let the guard master and them go!"
"Hmph! You are so naive!"
Li Tai couldn't help laughing at this time: "Do you think that after capturing me, the officials in Taiyuan City will be at your mercy? If they really follow your wishes and let Zhao Deyan and Xuan Ye go, then what will happen to me? They will die, and if the court investigates them later, they will die too! So, even if you kill me in front of them, they will not let Zhao Deyan, Xuan Ye and Tianying go!"
Mu Jiao opened his mouth, wanting to retort, but in the end nothing came out.
Yun Scorpion nodded and said to Mu Jiao: "He is right! Now the government will make concessions to us, but on key issues, it is absolutely impossible for the government to give in! If they let the guard leader and the two leaders go, they will be dead afterward! And! If we all stay in Taiyuan City, even if King Wei is killed by us in the end, those officials in the Taiyuan government will not die because of their ability to capture the enemy!"
"Then brother, what should we do now?"
Mu Jiao also felt that Yun Xie's analysis was reasonable, but at the moment they were struggling in Taiyuan City, and he really couldn't think of any good way to break the situation.
Yun Xie frowned and didn't reply, because he couldn't think of any good ideas for a while.
Li Tai rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "Oh! If I were you, the most important thing now is to take good care of me and continue to defend this inn, instead of thinking of using me as a hostage to go to the government to exchange for your guard leader. Because it is impossible for the government to let Zhao Deyan go, and once you take me out, the officers and soldiers, especially Baiqi, will have more opportunities to rescue this king from you!"
"Then what?"
What Li Tai said seemed to be putting himself in their shoes, but Yun Xie didn't believe that Li Tai would be so kind, but he really didn't have any good ideas at the moment, so he asked out of nowhere, intending to first listen to what Li Tai would say. , he will judge whether what Li Tai said makes sense.
"Then, then you will ask for help from outside, ask for help from the grassland! Directly send a letter back to the grassland by flying pigeons, asking Jieli to send an elite to secretly sneak into the Central Plains, and find a way to ambush outside Taiyuan City. When they arrive, you Cooperate with them inside and outside, break through the city gate, and then take me back to the grassland!"
Li Tai curled his lips and said without any surprise.
