The prince frowned: "What are you laughing at?"

Gu Zhirong said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, please forgive us, we didn't mean to offend. Well, now that the sheepskin raft has been brought in, I'll tell you about my plans. ”

She looked at the crown prince: "Your Royal Highness the prince, the current situation, you have already said that we are trapped in this Hanging Ji Temple, it can be regarded as a heavy siege, right? Especially now, the enemy is strong and we are weak, even if we send people with high martial arts, we may not be able to break through the encirclement, right? Moreover, the casualties are too heavy to be cost-effective!

Gu Zhirong's tone of speech was what she usually said, and she didn't feel anything about the green water and the clear space, but the prince was a little unaccustomed to hearing it, and his brows twisted: "It's not cost-effective?"

He thought to himself, now that this is the enemy, how can it be cost-effective to do business?

Gu Zhirong saw his thoughts, and smiled: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, in fact, everything is like doing business, and you have to pay attention to cost and budget. It's the same with the army, if you don't cherish the cost and disregard the lives of the sergeants, you will definitely lose a lot, even if you win, it's a miserable victory, what's the difference between it and a defeat?"

The prince did not speak, and acquiesced to her statement.

Gu Zhirong asked the green water to clear the empty space and put the sheepskin raft aside, and then beckoned everyone to sit down.

"Okay, now I'm going to get to the point. One of the most urgent things we need to do now is to send out the news that the bandits are surrounding the temple, and it has been a day. The fact that the people in the capital didn't know the news that we were trapped in the mountains shows a problem, that is, those people are extremely sophisticated. There must have been roadblocks set up along the way, and people from outside couldn't get in, and we couldn't get out, which was like a dead end without a cycle. Of course, the bandits down the hill don't have that much patience, and they don't have that much time for us to drag. But they can't, they'll do it quickly, not tonight. Tomorrow, they will do whatever it takes to attack the mountain. So, we don't have much time left. ”

"Of course I knew time was running out. But you say you can't break through. So how can we save costs as you said, and then be able to send the news out?" the young master looked questioningly at the sheepskin raft lying quietly on the side, "Is it difficult to rely on it to send the letter out?"

Gu Zhirong stood up with a "rub", pointed to the sheepskin raft and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are really right this time, we just want to use this sheepskin raft without damaging a single soldier." Send the letter out. ”

The prince looked at Gu Zhirong for a long time, and then asked, "Miss Gu Wu." You're not kidding me, are you? I've spent so many troops without sending the news out, and you can do it with just such a broken sheepskin raft?"

Gu Zhirong stopped him and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't underestimate this sheepskin raft, it's very useful." I remember when I was grounded in the house before, I didn't even have to eat, but fortunately, with this sheepskin raft, I brought a lot of delicious things, so that the people of our entire Liuyun Courtyard were not starved to death!"

The prince's face suddenly became gloomy: "Who is so bold that he won't even give you food?"

Gu Zhirong was stunned for a moment. Now she's talking about the benefits of this sheepskin raft, and how does it get to the question of "who deliberately wants to fix her"? This is also too far, right?

Gu Zhirong hurriedly changed the topic back: "That matter can be regarded as an old broken grain and rotten sesame seeds, let's not mention it." Now it's about the usefulness of this sheepskin raft, you don't have to worry, this sheepskin raft is not used to carry people, it has nothing to do with size, just let the green water ......"

She immediately thought that Lu Shui didn't know martial arts, so she immediately changed her words: "Let Mu Jin go, let Mu Jin sit on this sheepskin raft, go down the undercurrent, and arrive at the Yuanning Hou Mansion, and stop at my Liuyun Courtyard." The next thing to send the letter will be handled by Mu Jin. Mu Jin has good martial arts and is steady, I can rest assured that she will do things. ”

The prince finally understood, and he couldn't believe it: "This sheepskin raft is going down the undercurrent and will float all the way to your Yuanning Marquis Mansion?"

Gu Zhirong said anxiously: "His Royal Highness the Prince, don't doubt this matter anymore, there is a bridge behind the Hanging Ji Temple, that is, in the back mountain, you just need to let the cover and let people put the sheepskin raft under the bridge, and then let Mu Jin board the sheepskin raft smoothly, so that everything will be fine." This dark river is connected to various ditches, and the water flows all the way to the Yuanning Marquis's Mansion. All the water intake of the Yuanning Marquis Mansion comes from this dark river. So, now you should quickly write a letter explaining where you want to hand it over, and then take a token as a basis, and let my maid ring send it to you. ”

"Can this sheepskin raft really reach the courtyard where you live?" the prince looked at her strangely, and there was a strange smile on his face.

Gu Zhirong immediately became sensitive: "Hey, hey, this is my own secret, now I can tell you everything, but you can't have any bad ideas!"

The prince grimaced: "Am I that kind of person? Besides, let me let a dignified prince drill into the ditch, isn't this a joke?"

Gu Zhirong glared at him: "What you said, don't make a bad idea, it's a puppy to deceive people!"

Since he had a good idea, without further ado, Jingkong rushed back to the temple to get the four treasures of the study, and the prince did not hesitate, immediately rolled up his sleeves, wrote a letter, sealed it with fire paint, and then handed it to Gu Zhirong.

Gu Zhirong also immediately asked Lu Shui to summon Mu Jin, handed her the sealed letter in front of the prince, and then asked the prince: "Where is the token?"

The prince looked at himself, stretched out his hand and took off the white jade pendant hanging from his waist, and handed it to Gu Zhirong: "Is this okay?"

Gu Zhirong nodded hurriedly: "Of course you can." ”

You must know that this jade pendant is a treasure in the Valley of Hundred Flowers, extremely precious, and has the effect of driving away evil spirits and miasma, which is difficult to find in the world.

Gu Zhirong handed the jade pendant to Mu Jin and told her to be careful in everything.

At this time, the prince summoned Lu Xing, Wu Da and others, and asked them to take their own teams to cover Mu Jin's smooth arrival under the stone bridge in the back mountain, and keep watch until the sheepskin raft completely disappeared from sight, and then returned.

The journey went smoothly and without any obstacles, they were very careful not to be spotted by enemy sentries patrolling not far away.

Sending Mu Jin away, Gu Zhirong couldn't relax at all. She said to the prince: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the next 12 hours are the most critical moments, I believe that Mu Jin can return to the Yuanning Marquis Mansion before dawn, and then go straight to the palace, and wait until your father mobilizes the forbidden army in the capital, 12 hours is already very urgent." No matter what, we have to hold on until that moment, otherwise if the enemy breaks through the temple gate, then we have no hope. ”

The prince nodded cautiously: "I understand this." I just surveyed the terrain around the Hangji Temple, the mountain where this century-old temple is located, there are not too many trees, and there are a lot of stones. I have given orders for some of the sergeants to cut down the trees and fortify the temple gates, while others are to carry stones, as large as possible, in case they need to be needed. ”

Gu Zhirong glanced at the prince approvingly.

She really didn't expect that the prince, who was invincible on weekdays and couldn't listen to anyone's words, actually changed his temper all of a sudden, not only listened to his words very carefully, but also actively cooperated with himself to arrange the deployment, which is really impressive.
