Chapter 8: Baili Xi's Calculations

The imperial city of Baili Mansion is brightly lit.

In the study room in the house, Yeluqi and Baili Xi were sitting opposite each other, chatting with tea.

"The guards came to report just now that Zhao Mei had committed suicide in the prison."

Yeluqi was expressionless and told Baili Xi Zhao Mei the news of suicide.

"I know." Baili Xi picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, very calm, his eyes turned to the outside of the house, and then put down the teacup, "When Zhao Mei was arrested, I had already guessed that he would not serve His Majesty, with his character, after learning the news of the destruction of the Great Song Dynasty, he would definitely not steal his life, and it would be a matter of time before he committed suicide." ”

"Hmm." Yeluqi is not a dull person, and he also understands Zhao Mei's personality. Zhao Mei refused to surrender, so he secretly sent someone to tell Zhao Mei the news that Liu Yu and they were killed, and suicide was expected.

"Lin Sen from Baibeilou came to me, and the people who rescued Zhao Zhen and Liu Xuande should be Lin Sen and Xiangrui. Zhao Mei used to be kind to Bai Beilou, and now there should be more than Lin Sen and Xiangrui in the imperial city, and the other four masters of Bai Beilou should also be in the imperial city, the purpose is to help Zhao Zhen escape. ”

Baili Xi looked outside the house for a while, and found that there was nothing abnormal, turned his gaze to Yeluqi, and continued: "I have already written to Zhao Zhen, telling her to ask Zhao Mei at the entrance of the Dongmen Vegetable Market three days later. Let them escape from Simon at that time. ”

Lin Sen's light work was not bad, and the people who arranged to follow him were quickly dumped. Are you sure that Zhao Zhen will listen to what you say in your letter and escape from the West Gate in three days? ”

Yeluqi also picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, with no expression on his face.

"If it were usual, Zhao Zhen would definitely believe the route I was referring to, but this Liu Xuande, I heard Ram Zhe say that he was a Han man, but he was dressed in strange clothes and appeared above the palace gate out of thin air, so he should not be an idle person. I'm not sure he'll see my plan. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, please do not relax the guard of the four gates. At least the guards at the west and east gates must not be relaxed. ”

Baili Xi thought of Li Gengyun, a guy who appeared out of thin air, and frowned slightly, he was not sure if the other party would be able to see through his strategy, but one thing was certain, the other party must have come to help Zhao Zhen, otherwise he would not have stopped Yelu Xiao above the palace gate. For this reason, he can only re-customize the strategy, if the other party sees through his strategy, then it is likely to escape from the imperial city in advance, according to the current situation of the Northern Yuan army guarding the four gates of the imperial city, the north gate and the south gate are the most guarded.

"Second prince, most of the guards at the north gate can be transferred away and used to enrich the east, west, and south gates. The disciples of Bai Beilou are all strong in martial arts, and six of them are enough to rush to the door and kill people, but they are determined to escape and will not stay too long, so they can arrange archers. If Zhao Zhen and the others refused to surrender, they would order to be shot to prevent future troubles. ”

"What do you mean? Didn't you say that you wanted to dedicate Zhao Zhen to your father? If you don't capture her alive, you want to shoot her? ”

Yeluqi was also a little puzzled when he heard Bailixi's words, before that, the purpose of his plan was to capture Zhao Zhen alive, and then sacrifice it to Yeluxiao. The first beauty in the Great Song Imperial City, Yelu Xiao has long coveted it, and this is why he faced Zhao Zhen alone at the palace gate.

"It would be best if we could capture them alive, but if the other side refuses to surrender, do we still have to lose our troops and let them go before we pursue them? Escape from the imperial city, then it is not the Northern Yuan Dynasty that has the final say, there are not a few people on the rivers and lakes who are loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, after all, although the Great Song Dynasty has died, but the living Great Song Dynasty people or Han people, their number is far more than that of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. ”

"Your Majesty and the second prince destroyed the Great Song Dynasty at the beginning, the sea is undecided, there are still many righteous people in various places who want to recover the Great Song Dynasty, if Zhao Zhen successfully escapes, it will also make them more motivated to unite, so Zhao Zhen must not be allowed to leave the imperial city alive!"

Speaking of this, Baili Xi's eyes also became very fierce, the teacup was held tightly in his hand, and his brows were furrowed, as if he was a little nervous.

"Okay, I'll send someone to tell my father that except for the ordinary guards at the north gate, all the other wolf knights will be assigned to the other three gates. Starting from tonight, I will personally lead the team to thoroughly search Zhao Zhen and those Han people who want to participate in the rescue operation according to the roadmap you gave me, so as to ensure that there will be no chaos in three days! I'll go first! ”

As he spoke, he stood up and strode out of the study.

"The second prince did it himself, and His Majesty can sleep peacefully if he knows it. Hehe. Baili Xi also stood up and saluted at Yeluqi's departing back: "Congratulations to the second prince!" ”

Yeluqi was only slightly stunned after hearing Baili Xi's words, did not look back, just laughed, and then walked out of Baili Mansion.

Not long after he left, Baili Xi closed the door of the study, came to the bookcase, and turned the books on the bookcase.

Baili Xi walked in through the dim firelight in the secret room, and it was obvious that there were hundreds of spiritual seats enshrined inside, all of which were members of the Baili family.

"The ancestors and the ancestors are above, please bless Xi'er to successfully complete the great cause of restoring the country. Our Baili family has been waiting for hundreds of years, and now we have finally waited for our chance! As long as you get the heirloom jade seal in Zhao Zhen's hand, you can find the treasure of the Great Song Dynasty, and then with the help of the division of the north and the south promised to me by Yeluqi, recruit troops and buy horses, and the great cause can be achieved! ”

As he spoke, he knelt in front of the spiritual seat, kowtowed a few times, walked out of the secret room, closed the mechanism, and everything was back to normal.

On the other side, Lin Sen, who secretly infiltrated the prison, also learned the news that Zhao Mei had committed suicide in prison, and when he saw Zhao Mei's body hanging in the prison, he was even more surprised, but fortunately, he did not show any panic, nor was he discovered by those guards, and after delivering the food, he followed the team out of the prison.

And at this time, the guy who was knocked out by him woke up and brought a team of guards.

"General! That's the guy! He knocked me out in the hut and snatched my clothes! He's a spy! ”

The guy pointed to Lin Sen who was wearing his clothes and shouted, and at the same time Lin Sen also noticed it, he didn't expect the guy to wake up so quickly, but now it's too late to think about it.

"Humph! Thank you very much! ”

Lin Sen threw the basket out of his hand, and then jumped into the air, ready to escape.

"Humph! The second prince had long expected that you people would not die, and you were so bold that you dared to come to the prison, and today is your death date! ”

At this moment, there were many more crossbowmen outside the prison, and all the arrows and crossbows were aimed at Lin Sen.

"Damn! It was also calculated, is it Bailixi or Yeluqi?! ”

"Launch!"

The officer in command directly ordered Lin Sen to be shot.

With an order, a thousand crossbows are fired!

"Bang!" There was a sudden loud bang at the point of the crossbow, and then a white light flashed, and everyone was blinded by the bright light.

"The last thunderbolt!"

After the white light, everyone came back to their senses and found that there was no longer Lin Sen in the prison.
