Chapter 192: Designing a Response
When one of the emperor's guards heard what he said, he immediately said angrily:
"Okay, since you kid dare to pretend to be stupid, then don't blame me for being unkind to you, tell you the truth, don't think we don't know your details, we watched you come out of that large number of soldiers and horses, and you are still pretending to be stupid here! If you don't say it again, then I'll send you directly to the west to see if you dare to harden your mouth. β
When the guard dressed as a common man heard the words of the guard under the emperor, his body suddenly collapsed and said:
"Ahh You all know this, you all see it? β
"That's nature, otherwise, what would we do with you?" The emperor's guard said.
The guard, dressed as a common man, sighed and said:
"Hey! It's really unfortunate, since you have seen through it, then I will tell the truth, but you must promise me that you will not kill me as long as I have answered your questions. β
One of the emperor's guards said:
"If you say that as long as you are true and do not lie to deceive us, then we can promise you that we will not kill you."
The guard dressed as a common man nodded:
"Okay, I said, I'll say everything, in fact, we came from Kyoto, we were sent by the emperor to come to the prince's city, and the emperor's order was to let us come to the prince's city and eradicate all the people in the royal family."
The emperor's guards asked:
"Oh, it's really sent by the Wan family, how many soldiers and horses are there for you?"
The guard, dressed as a common man, replied:
"We have 30,000 soldiers."
When the emperor's guards heard that 30,000 soldiers and horses had arrived, they were all surprised, and someone said from time to time:
"Wow! Thirty thousand soldiers and horses came? β
"With so many soldiers and horses, it seems that they really want to kill all the people of the royal family!"
"Humph! Just in time, when we rush out and annihilate them all, we will relieve our anger. β
β¦β¦
One of the emperor's guards then said to one of the guards on the side:
"Hurry up and report the news you get to the emperor, and let the emperor make arrangements as soon as possible."
Then the guard said:
"I'll go and report to the emperor."
The guard then ran away at a brisk pace, and reported the truth to the emperor.
And the guard, dressed as a common man, said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have answered you truthfully when you asked, so let me go!"
One of the emperor's guards smiled and said:
"Let you go, you are so naΓ―ve, you really think we are so stupid! Let you go, so that you can tell them that we know what you are coming from, and how many soldiers and horses you have come, and then you can plan what to do with us! β
The guard dressed as a common man said with a puzzled expression:
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's not what you said, our general sent me to the prince's city to find out the news, if he didn't see me go back, then he would definitely conclude that I was captured by you, then he wouldn't rush to make the next attack plan."
One of the emperor's guards asked:
"Oh, what's your general's plan of attack? Did you know? If you know, tell me about it. β
The guard, who was dressed as a common man, was stunned for a moment, and said:
"I don't know this, I don't know the specifics, I know that our general actually wants to find out the situation in the prince's city first, and then, he led his 30,000 soldiers and horses to rush directly into the city, and fight with the emperor's forces, wanting to fight hard to win the power of the royal family, after all, all the people of the royal family have been captured."
When the emperor's guards heard this, they couldn't help but smile, and from time to time someone said:
"What arrogance!"
"This Wan Jinbao and your general are too underestimated!"
"It's really beyond my strength, just 30,000 soldiers and horses want to annihilate us all, it's really a dream!"
β¦β¦
The guards dressed as civilians were full of embarrassment and said:
"Let me go, I promise you, I will never mention to our general that you have taken me."
One of the emperor's guards said:
"Don't worry, we won't kill you, I'll wronged you for the time being, wait for us to send you to the prince first, wait for his fate, don't blame us, if you really want to complain, you will blame your own life is not good, and it fell into our hands."
The man dressed as a common man suddenly looked excited and panicked, and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, just let me go! It won't make a difference if you catch me, I'm just a soldier, a shrimp soldier! β
One of the emperor's guards said seriously:
"Don't worry, even if we hand you over to the prince, the prince won't want your life, you can't die, don't get excited."
After finishing speaking, several of the emperor's guards immediately escorted the spies dressed as ordinary people and brought them to the prince.
A guard hurried up to the prince and reported:
"Crown Prince Qi, reliable news, the large number of soldiers and horses outside the city were all sent by the Wan family, they have 30,000 horses, and they are waiting outside the city now, ready to rush into the city at any time."
When the prince heard the guard's words, he immediately frowned and said:
"Oh, as my father expected, it was really the soldiers and horses sent by the Wan family, this Wan family was really bold and arrogant enough, and dared to rashly send troops to attack, but it was really too self-sufficient, and the only 30,000 soldiers and horses sent wanted to defeat our royal family, which is too unreasonable to take the people of our royal family seriously!"
The guard said:
"Prince, my subordinates have captured a disguised spy, do you want to bring you for personal re-interrogation."
The prince then said:
"Oh, yes, you caught a spy, where is the man now? Hurry up and bring it, and this prince will personally interrogate it again. β
The guard hugged his fists and said:
"Yes, the subordinates will go and bring the arrested spy to the prince for interrogation."
The prince urged:
"Alright, you go quickly."
Then the guard turned and walked briskly.
In a few moments, two guards escorted the captured spy to the prince's room.
The two guards clasped their fists at the prince and said:
"Prince Qiqi, the spies caught by his subordinates have been brought to you."
When the prince saw that the spies in disguise were ordinary people's clothes, he said:
"Okay, I got it."
As soon as the disguised spy saw the prince, he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy:
"Prince, the villain is just doing things on orders, you just spare the little one, let the little one live! Don't kill me. β
The prince couldn't help but smile and said:
"What are you excited about? Prince Ben didn't say he was going to kill you! Don't be so excited. β
When the disguised spy heard the prince's words, he immediately said with a happy face:
"Ahh So the prince won't kill me? β
The prince said seriously:
"Don't be afraid, how can this prince kill innocents indiscriminately? The people of our royal family are not all members of the Wan family, they are all so insidious and cunning, doing evil, and doing those things that hurt heaven and reason. β
The disguised spy said:
"As long as the prince doesn't kill the villain, the villain will definitely serve the royal family in the future and will no longer do those hurtful things with the Wan family."
The prince nodded and said:
"Well, it's good that you can have the idea of abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, so you can get up and speak first."
The disguised spy said:
"Prince, the next person should kneel."
The prince then asked:
"Whatever you want, let me ask you, you are here with 30,000 soldiers and horses, right?"
The disguised spy nodded:
"Back to the prince's words, exactly, our group is exactly 30,000 soldiers and horses."
The prince nodded and said:
"Well, what did your general send you out to find out?"
The disguised spy replied:
"Back to the prince, our general asked the villain to enter the city, inquire about the situation in the city, and find out the bottom, and then he is ready to lead the soldiers and horses into the city."
The prince was stunned for a moment and said:
"Oh, I see."
The prince pondered for a moment and said:
"Okay, I don't want to kill you, but you have to serve our royal family, you hurry back and tell your general, just say that there is something normal in the city, and no abnormalities have been found, let him lead the soldiers and horses into the city."
When the disguised spy heard the prince's words, he was immediately surprised, and said:
"Ahh This ......"
The prince then asked:
"What! Can't you do something as simple as that? β
The disguised spy said with a happy face:
"What the villain can do, can do."
The prince then said to the guards on the side:
"Hurry up and call back the 1,000 soldiers and horses I just sent out, you must not let Wan Jinbao's men see them, hurry up and do it."
A guard standing on one side hugged his fist and said:
"Yes, Prince, my subordinates will do it."
Your guard then ran out of the room at a brisk pace.
The prince said to the disguised spy kneeling on the ground:
"Get up, as long as you complete the task I gave you, not only will I not kill you, but I will reward you heavily, but you also have to remember that if you mess up the task I gave you, then the prince will not let you have a good time, and then you don't blame the prince for not giving you a chance to live."
When the disguised spy heard the prince's words, he immediately said excitedly:
"The prince can rest assured that the villain will definitely go to the soup for the prince, and he will not give up, as long as the prince does not want the villain's life, the villain will definitely complete the task assigned to me by the prince, please rest assured, I will definitely try my best to complete the important task you have assigned."
The prince smiled and said:
"Well, that's very good, although I believe in you, but, just in case, you take this pill first, as long as you show your loyalty, when you come back from completing the task, this prince will give you the antidote."
After speaking, the prince took out a small medicine bottle from his chest, he opened the stopper of the medicine bottle, poured out a black pill from it, handed it to the disguised spy, and said:
"Come, you quickly take this pill, you can go, go back and report to your general, just say that everything is normal in the city, there is nothing abnormal, let him lead the soldiers and horses into the city as soon as possible, do you remember?"
The disguised spy couldn't help choking, took the black pill from the prince's hand, and then his hands trembled a little, and said to the prince:
"Prince, please rest assured, the villain knows what to do."
