Jun Yixi's invitation is full of intrigue atmosphere.

God knows how many ambushes there are in the Tiger Prison?

However, Jun Yixie's invitations have been sent, how can Long Feiye have a reason not to go?

No matter what Jun Yixie prepared for them, they had to go.

"Reply to the letter, go to the appointment as scheduled, and let him prepare tea and wait!" Long Feiye said coldly.

Jun Yixi's invitation to them was set for the first day of the fourth month, and today is March 20, which means that they still have eight days to prepare, deducting the time on the road, in fact, there is not enough time. (In ancient times, one month was 28 days)

Three days later, Baili Yuanlong and Vice General Xue discussed and drew up the final cooperation plan and battle plan, and submitted it to Long Feiye and Han Yunxi for review.

I have to say that after these two guys put aside those self-interested crooked thoughts, the plan they wrote was perfect, and neither Long Feiye nor Han Yunxi could find a thorn.

The Ningjia army was the vanguard, with 500 artillery and 15 red-coated cannons, and 30,000 cavalry were delayed. The artillery took the lead, the cavalry followed, and the 50,000 hundred li lagged behind, becoming a strong backing for the artillery and cavalry.

They plan to conquer the Santu Pass in half a month at the earliest, and a month at the latest. At the same time, there were 3,000 elite soldiers of the Ning family as the leader, supplemented by 5,000 elite soldiers of the Eastern Qin, who sneaked in from the mountains and forests in the east. After the cavalry has attacked, assist on the east flank. In addition, the Baili Navy Army marched north from the East China Sea by water, cooperating with the two armies to form an all-round encirclement offensive against the Northern Calendar. Leaving 5,000 Ningjia troops and 10,000 Eastern Qin troops to guard the three-way battlefield, firstly, as a supply for the Northern Expeditionary Army, and secondly, it can be regarded as a vigilance against the Western Zhou and Tian'an.

Although the Western Zhou Dynasty and Tian'an could not set off any major storms, they still had to do a good job of defense for the sake of prudence.

The expenditure of military funds and the distribution of important materials such as grain, herbs and grass were all under the full control of the five elders. The Fifth Elder was the most loyal to Han Yunxi in the Di clan, and he was also a businessman. He may not be shrewd in other things, but he is more skilled in the control of money than anyone else.

After reading the military salary budget book of the five elders, Han Yunxi was very satisfied. She really didn't mistake the five elders, the five elders were shrewd, and fair, and they didn't mean to favor the Di clan.

The whole army is ready, just waiting for Long Feiye and Han Yunxi to give the order to send troops! As long as they give an order, they can send troops at any time.

Seeing that His Royal Highness had not given the order for a long time, Baili Yuanlong went to the soothsayer to find an auspicious day for the troops. When the red paper with auspicious days and auspicious times written on it was handed to Long Feiye, Long Feiye saw that the day was the fifteenth day of the fourth month, and immediately threw Baili Yuanlong a roll of the eyes.

He asked coldly, "Who told you that this is called a good day and an auspicious day?" ”

Baili Yuanlong could see that His Royal Highness was very dissatisfied with this day, so he didn't dare to speak more.

Gu Beiyue said, "In my opinion, as long as it is earlier than the first day of the fourth month, it is an auspicious day." Since the whole army is waiting for the day, it is better to send troops north tomorrow and directly attack the Santu Pass! Give Ning Cheng a dismount! ”

Although they were very worried about the safety of the hostages in Jun Yixie's hands, he must not show his worries, but wanted to give Jun Yixie the illusion that they didn't care. Otherwise, they will definitely be eaten to death by Jun Yixi. When the time comes, let alone rescue the hostages, even they themselves are in danger.

If they don't send their troops until April 15, if something happens to them on the Tiger Prison, then this long-prepared battle will most likely not be completed!

On the contrary, if you send troops before the appointment, you can test the bottom line of Jun Yixi, and secondly, you will have an extra bargaining chip to negotiate with Jun Yixi.

No one knew that Gu Beiyue still had a careful thought, he actually hoped that this time he could negotiate with Jun Yixie and make some concessions to each other, so that he didn't have to make a big deal and fight.

Long Feiye didn't know that Gu Beiyue didn't want to make a big move, but he agreed with Gu Beiyue's opinion. Jun Yixie's invitations have been sent, and they have to return a gift anyway!

Long Feiye looked at Han Yunxi and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Han Yunxi also agreed with Gu Beiyue's opinion, at this juncture, not to mention Tang Li, not to mention Tranquility and Mu Ling'er, that is, she has to serve the Northern Expedition like Long Feiye. If necessary, there is no hesitation in giving in, even at the expense.

However, she didn't answer Long Feiye's question, but looked at Tang Li, "Tang Li, what do you think?" ”

The time that Gu Beiyue said is the time to take the overall situation into account the most, but this kind of practice may also anger Jun Yixie while giving Jun Yixie a deterrent. The most direct consequence of angering Jun Yiyi is that the hostages are guilty.

The two armies are at war, and the rule that the two countries negotiate without abusing hostages is bullshit in the eyes of Jun Yixi.

I don't know if Han Yunxi and Long Feiye came back, giving Tang Li confidence and courage. He has been very well-behaved these days, going to bed early and getting up early, and he is energetic every day, in addition to understanding the Northern Expedition plan, most of the time, he is practicing and practicing hidden weapons.

When Long Feiye and them discussed important matters, he would sit on the sidelines, but he just listened and never said a word.

When Han Yunxi asked, Tang Li was a little caught off guard. However, he quickly regained his composure and said seriously, "Everything is about the big picture!" Do as you have to be! ”

No one knows whether Tang Li's words are sincere or forced. Whether it is true or false, the fact that he can say it proves his steadfastness and bravery.

Long Feiye nodded, and immediately decided, "Baili Yuanlong, Vice General Xue, you two will go and give the order immediately." The whole army listens to the order, rest well tonight, and send troops north tomorrow! ”

"Yes!" Baili Yuanlong and Vice General Xue shouted in unison and took the order.

Long Feiye asked seriously, "Gu Beiyue, if you set off tonight, how long will it take to get to the Tiger Prison at the earliest?" ”

"Three days." Gu Beiyue replied truthfully. Xu Donglin was not there, and he had to arrange a lot of things, of course, he had already figured out the time required from the three-way black market to the tiger prison.

"Three days, three days later......" Long Feiye pondered.

"Three days later, February 28." Han Yunxi hurriedly said, "So, we have to set off after the two armies march north tomorrow at the latest." ”

Who knows, Long Feiye said, "We won't participate in the Northern Expedition Ceremony, let Ningnuo send a letter back to Jun Yixie, and say that this prince will personally lead his troops to conquer Tianhe City, and go to have tea with him as promised!" ”

Tang Li didn't understand what it meant for a while, and he was confused.

Long Feiye said again, "Tang Li, go and prepare, let's set off to the Tiger Prison tonight!" When the 28th arrives, I will take the hostages for a long time, and then go to have tea with Jun Yixie on the first day of April! ”

As soon as these words came out, Tang Li was overjoyed, and his dark eyes immediately lit up.

"Yes, brother!"

He jumped up in surprise almost from last night, he had waited for this day for too long, too long!

Gu Qishao sat aside, pressed his fists, and laughed, "Long Feiye, I like this method!" ”

Guan Jun Yixie made an appointment to drink tea at any time, they first sneaked into the tiger prison to save people, and then went to drink tea with Jun Yixie after saving people! When I saw it, Jun Yixie was still lame!

Han Yunxi was also overjoyed, although this method was a bit difficult, but since Long Feiye said it, they must do it!

Without hostages in Jun Yixie's hands, tea can be drunk well and slowly!

Gu Beiyue smiled faintly, "Your Highness, your subordinates are willing to do their best to cooperate with you." ”

The matter was decided, and everyone went to prepare. Long Feiye's things were packed up by Han Yunxi himself, and he didn't go back to the house but went to see the shopkeeper Luo of Kangqian Qianzhuang. After the cooperation between the Eastern Qin and the Di people, the central and southern regions relaxed a lot of merchants' strategies, and the Yunkong Chamber of Commerce also had a chance to turn over. However, this has made many consortia and families in the central and southern parts of the country very unhappy, and they have already quarreled several times in the south.

Long Feiye is too busy, so if he doesn't know these things, he will leave them to the people below to deal with for the time being. After all, those people in the south didn't dare to be too arrogant, and it was not enough to affect the overall situation.

Soon, Han Yunxi was ready. She was about to go to find Long Feiye, but the maidservant brought a bowl of black-brown medicinal soup.

Han Yunxi was puzzled, thinking that Long Feiye ordered the maidservant to send it over, after all, Long Feiye sometimes gave her the habit of giving her tonic medicine from time to time.

"This is sent by the slave maid by Dr. Gu, who said that the princess has a bad complexion and wants to travel far, and he is afraid that the princess will not be able to hold on, so he boiled this medicine and asked the princess to drink it while it is hot before leaving." The maidservant replied truthfully, "Doctor Gu also said that this is the first bowl." When the princess returns, she will have to continue taking it. ”

Han Yunxi picked up the medicinal soup and smelled it, and tasted it, except for one or two common medicinal herbs, she really couldn't taste anything else. She didn't think much about it, and drank the rest of the medicine in one go.

In this world, except for Long Feiye, the most reassuring thing for her is Gu Beiyue.

Han Yunxi drank the medicine and sat for a while, Long Feiye and they all came over, Gu Beiyue didn't mention the bowl of medicine, Long Feiye didn't know.

On the trip to the Tiger Prison, Long Feiye picked a few shadow guards to accompany him in secret, which was convenient for the envoys, but he didn't bring too many people because he didn't need to.

If you want to kill Jun and evil, you only need him, Han Yunxi, Gu Beiyue, and Gu Qishao. And to save the hostages, maybe they may not be able to do it together, what is needed is to outwit.

Long Feiye and the four of them, plus Tang Li, and a group of five people secretly left the Santu Black Market that night, chose the mountain and forest path, and went to the direction of the Tiger Prison.

On the evening of 28 March, they arrived at the mountain forest where the Tiger Prison was located.

This is a dense mountain forest in the west of Tianhe City in the Northern Calendar, it is the largest mountain in the territory of the Northern Calendar, the mountain is high, the ditch is deep, the slope is steep, the mountains are stacked on top of each other, the dog's teeth are intertwined, the mountains are set in the mountains, there are mountains outside the mountains, and they are continuous.

The Tiger Prison is hidden under the deepest and densest ravines in this mountainous area. The topography affects the climate, and the trees around the tiger prison are dense all year round, shading the sky and the sun.

The place where Jun Yixie invited Long Feiye and Han Yunxi to drink tea was on a cliff on the cliff east of the Tiger Prison, called Tiger Roaring Cliff. It is named because there are more tigers in the mountains than this cliff roaring, shocking the whole mountain. Standing on the Tiger Roar Cliff, you can overlook the entire ravine, but you can't see the Tiger Prison, you can only see a lush grass and trees.

A map was attached to the invitation letter given by Jun Yixie, which was a road map from the foot of the mountain to the Tiger Roaring Cliff. However, as early as a few months ago, Bai Yuqiao had already given Han Yunxi a detailed topographical map of the Tiger Prison and the surrounding mountains, and she also wrote everything she had learned about the ambush around the Tiger Prison clearly in the letter.

There are many roads leading to the Tiger Roaring Cliff, and which one is the most difficult and dangerous given by Jun Yixie!

At this moment, Han Yunxi and the five of them were at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the rolling mountains. The time of the covenant is tomorrow when the sun sets. In other words, they still have a night tonight and a day tomorrow to sneak into the tiger prison and save people!
