Chapter 1564 You didn’t tell me earlier
"The main gate of the villa. There is only one road from the col to the villa. If there are flying cavalry coming, we will send a message or intercept them." He Lingchuan has a plan, "I will go to Zhao Song for a drink tonight. If he receives the flying message magic in the middle of the journey, I will control him immediately."
If the situation deteriorated to that point, he just needed to buy time for everyone to escape.
Wan Qiliang nodded: "Okay, I'll go to the valley and keep an eye on it."
Wanqi Feng 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 easily leave the palace. Besides, Qingyang is also there, which means King Yao, Bai Ziqi and Qingyang are all in the palace and in public."
Dong Rui: "So?"
"If we want to capture the Nine Nether Emperor, at least one of them should be present, right?" He Lingchuan could still laugh, "Otherwise it would be too much of a joke."
Is Emperor Jiuyou someone they can capture by simply giving an order and sending a group of people?
Dong Rui understood: "That means, before the banquet is over, you and I are safe?"
"Look at it from another angle. If they have any moves, we will see them after the night banquet." He Lingchuan looked at the sky. "Don't rush to run. We still have time to prepare. Ah Feng, take your men to keep an eye on the few people in charge under Zhao Song, but be careful not to arouse their suspicion."
"Yes!"
He Lingchuan said to Wang Fubao, "Go to the east gate of Tianshui and keep an eye on it. If anyone comes with bad intentions, break the thousand knots to warn them."
Qianqian knots are a pair of grass knots. If one knot breaks, the other will break immediately if they are within a range of ten miles apart.
A very simple messaging tool, but useful.
Wang Fubao responded and turned to go out.
He Lingchuan then made some arrangements, and then said: "Each of you should do your own thing and don't attract attention."
Everyone dispersed.
The moonlight was as bright as water tonight. He Lingchuan looked at Tianshui City in the west and breathed a sigh of relief.
He could sense that chaos was about to break out in Yao Country, and just at this moment the Demon Puppet Master Organization showed up, and even Bai Ziqi came to join in the fun.
It's really a chaos of demons.
……
Nothing happened all night.
In King Yao's palace, Bai Ziqi and the king and his ministers of Yao finished drinking, watching the singing and dancing, and chatting. Then the music ended and everyone went home to rest.
No troops were mobilized either in the palace or in the city.
Wang Fubao guarded the gate of East Suburbs all night, and only a few merchants entered and exited the East Gate of Tianshui City.
In Yongquan Villa, Zhao Song and others went to rest after drinking with He Lingchuan. During the journey, no guards came to him to send a message, and no suspicious bird monster flew near.
In the morning, He Lingchuan received three messages:
First, at last night's banquet, King Yao invited Bai Ziqi and Regent Qingyang to the palace this morning to have breakfast together.
Bai Ziqi agreed on the spot.
Secondly, Qingyang stayed in the palace after the night banquet and did not return to Youhu Cottage.
Finally, just after the temple fair blessing ceremony ended yesterday morning, Bai Ziqi suddenly appeared in Tianshui City and entered the main temple of Miaozhantian. But it was not until several hours later that King Yao invited him to the palace.
At this time, Yaogong decided to hold a welcoming banquet.
After He Lingchuan received these three messages, especially the last note, he finally put his mind at ease.
Dong Rui looked over and asked, "How's that? Are these three good news?"
"Yes, all good news." He Lingchuan pointed to the last note, "Especially the third one."
"Is Bai Ziqi moving into the temple?" Dong Rui didn't understand.
"Although he holds a high position, Bai Ziqi is quite straightforward, and his temperament is different from that of ordinary bureaucrats." He Lingchuan analyzed, "When he entered Tianshui City, he went straight to the Miaozhantian Temple instead of going through the diplomatic process in the palace first. You can say that he doesn't take King Yao seriously, but——"
The Beijia people looked down on the Yao people, wasn't that a normal part of the contempt chain? Besides, what was Bai Ziqi's status, he was the Cloud Envoy of the Heavenly Palace, and he was second only to a few people but above ten thousand people in Lingxu City.
Even when facing King Yao, he would not hide the arrogance that came from his bones.
This point is actually very obvious in Qingyang.
"But this also shows that Bai Ziqi came to Yao State to deal with the temple first, and he must meet with Liang Zhushi first." He Lingchuan said seriously, "If he came to arrest me, he should first find King Yao to mobilize troops. But this sign has not appeared yet."
Dong Rui snorted: "Maybe he wants to catch you too, but he's not that urgent."
"How many hours will it take for King Yao to meet him? It sounds like King Yao didn't know about it in advance. Moreover, the notice of holding the night banquet was issued at the last minute, and many nobles did not show up."
The clues were incomplete, and He Lingchuan had to make a decision based on a few scattered clues, which was a huge risk in itself. After all, how could someone who planned big things have such comprehensive information to analyze at all times?
Stay or go?
If he withdraws now, he might be able to escape from Yao State as soon as possible, but the effort he has put into the arrangements in advance would make things easier for others.
If you choose to stay, the risk factor will increase exponentially.
He Lingchuan only thought about it for a second before making a decision: "It's possible. Let's see what happens today and tomorrow."
He decided to stay.
Wealth and wealth are found in danger.
Want a safe and peaceful life without risk or pain? Then go home and farm.
The Yangshan guards, who had been preparing for battle all night, finally dared to relax a little. He Lingchuan called them over again and made new arrangements.
If Bai Ziqi sets his sights on him, He Lingchuan will choose the best strategy.
After Wanqi Feng and the others left, He Lingchuan finally said something after the fact: "In fact, if they wanted to arrest me, they could have summoned me to the palace for a banquet last night."
It was originally inappropriate for him, a foreign businessman without any position or title, to attend the welcoming banquet held by King Yao for the envoy of the Heavenly Palace; but as long as King Yao nodded, it would not be against etiquette.
He Lingchuan could only bring a small number of guards to the banquet, and he was trapped after entering the palace.
Dong Rui rolled his eyes at him: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I was frightened all night!"
He Lingchuan smiled.
He had thought of it from the beginning, but this matter was serious and he could not let Dong Rui and his men relax their vigilance. Sometimes, crises break out in impossible situations.
The crisis came suddenly, but also went away quietly, and most people didn't know what happened.
Before and after the banquet last night, Bai Ziqi, Yao Wang and Qingyang all met and chatted with each other. This was the most dangerous moment for He Lingchuan.
If Bai Ziqi identified He Lingchuan as the Jiuyou Emperor, King Yao would most likely summon or arrest He Lingchuan immediately.
After this night, the danger is greatly reduced.
Is it that Bai Ziqi hasn't found out about He Lingchuan yet, or are they planning to wait until the situation in Yao State changes before taking action?
Thinking of this, He Lingchuan suddenly slapped the table: "I understand!"
The two had a stack of pancakes with vanilla milk for breakfast. The milk was also in a bowl, and Yao Ren mixed it with vanilla extract, which made it taste sweet and tempting. However, Dong Rui couldn't drink it after a few sips.
