This is a very good idea.
"Do you want Alin to go first or later?" Shen Xihe asked.
Bu Shulin went to the palace to express his gratitude and went to the Eastern Palace to bid farewell, where he was left. It was impossible for his substitute to return to the mansion from the Eastern Palace on the same day.
There was a time difference in the middle, Bu Shulin could set out at night and be faster than the main force, or he could follow and fall behind.
Both have their pros and cons. Going ahead can easily avoid an ambush set in advance, but it also has certain risks. You don't know where the ambush is and you might accidentally fall into a trap.
You can completely avoid an ambush by walking backwards, but once people find out that it is not really Bu Shulin, the people chasing them will most likely be more cautious and leave someone behind to wait for the opportunity.
"Let her go first." Xiao Huayong had already planned this. He turned his head to Shen Xihe and smiled faintly, "No one knew that she had been replaced in the East Palace, so no one guessed that she could go first. When everyone finds out that the person they are staring at is a fake Prince Bu, they will be sure that Prince Bu is still behind, or has chosen another route, which is similar to their itinerary."
In addition, even if he guessed that Bu Shulin had already gone ahead, he might not be able to catch up.
As for Shen Xihe's concerns, they are not something that can be completely avoided. If they really happen, he can only say that he is unlucky and act according to circumstances.
Shen Xihe nodded. Xiao Huayong's arrangements to this point were already extremely detailed and comprehensive. After leaving Kyoto, the rest depended on Bu Shulin's ability.
Even though he was worried about his best friend, Shen Xihe had no intention of getting involved in the matter. For one thing, the more people involved, the easier it would be to be exposed, and the result would be counterproductive.
Secondly, this matter is of great importance. If Bu Shulin cannot get over this hurdle and exposes his daughter's identity, and their people are found to have traces, they will also be implicated.
Your Majesty is powerful now, and the other kings are eyeing him covetously. Even if Xiao Huayong is not afraid of a battle with Emperor Youning, this battle may result in a tragic victory or a mutual defeat, and the one who will gain the upper hand in the end will definitely be Xiao Changqing or Xiao Changyan.
Therefore, they could not give Emperor Youning any reason to take action against them openly.
Third, if Bu Shulin wants to become a commander in the future, she must show her ability.
Otherwise, she would not be qualified to let Xiao Huayong sacrifice the guards he had carefully trained for her.
Xiao Huayong could naturally send people by force, but if the sacrifice was too great, Bu Shulin would make the people who followed Xiao Huayong feel that she was not worthy of such a sacrifice, which would damage Xiao Huayong's prestige and shake the loyalty of Xiao Huayong's subordinates.
"Don't worry, Yoyo. Although I can't send the people I trained, don't forget that I still have the chess piece of my uncle in my hand."
Xiao Huayong smiled softly and comforted Shen Xihe: "We should let go of what we should let go. After all, the emperor's uncle is a traitor. If he protects Prince Bu from the beginning, it will be a disaster for Shunan."
Only when Bu Shulin is on the verge of life and death can Xiao Juesong's men take action. Even if Your Majesty notices any clues, you cannot accuse him of being a traitor.
On the contrary, Your Majesty must appease him in time, as he feels that Xiao Juesong is taking advantage of every opportunity and will want to compete with Xiao Juesong.
The ministers also need to give an explanation. If your Majesty does not handle it properly, the ministers will all be in danger. Xiao Juesong deliberately protects whoever he wants to punish. With Bu Shulin in front, can your Majesty still treat them differently
