Chapter 859: Rescue Plan

Although no one in the army has ever served as hard labor, many people know very well what kind of existence hard labor is, it is not a profession that a normal person should engage in, but Lin Xuanzhong almost became a hard laborer. If it weren't for Lin Xuanzhong himself, no one would have thought that Lin Xuanzhong would have such an experience.

After joining the army, one of Lin Xuanzhong's two good brothers had died in honor, and the other was a deputy general, although there was no comparison with Lin Xuanzhong's achievements, but they were still achievements.

After Lin Xuanzhong explained why he joined the army, many people had a feeling of re-acquaintance with Lin Xuanzhong, and when they looked at Lin Xuanzhong again, there was amazement in their eyes, but Lin Xuanzhong didn't care about their exclamation at all, because Lin Xuanzhong didn't have the courage to mention the long time in the hidden city, so he couldn't be proud of other things.

After the general experience from leaving the city that never sleeps to being the main general was narrated by Lin Xuanzhong, the army exploded, and under the hype of many soldiers, more than 80,000 soldiers soon knew Lin Xuanzhong's true origin. For some people, Lin Xuanzhong's role as the main general with such a humble background is enough to reflect the eclectic talent reduction of the Night Kingdom, and at the same time, it also makes them understand why Lin Xuanzhong can treat the New Army equally, because Lin Xuanzhong, like many people, is not from the Night Kingdom.

Of course, there is one thing that everyone can't ignore, even if Lin Xuanzhong is not from the Night Country, there is no need to swear to live and die with the new army, so many things Lin Xuanzhong has done are respectable. Because Lin Xuanzhong disclosed his background, it attracted widespread attention, and the day passed smoothly. Not surprisingly, the lockdown and the sword city gave the same reply, and they needed time to think about it.

It was not the worst outcome for the two cities to deliberately drag on with the Night Army, so Lin Xuanzhong, who didn't have much hope, was not surprised. On the other side, in Meteorite City, Shi Jiangchuan and the others directly split up early this morning, collecting news about those arrested ministers while finding out the reason why Emperor Yang was controlled by others.

Now Emperor Yang can still be in the early dynasty, which shows that Shangguan Hong's means of controlling Emperor Yang is not through direct control of Emperor Yang himself, so it may be to control one or more people that Emperor Yang cares about, and the people who can make Emperor Yang choose to submit are either people who are important to Emperor Yang or people who are important to the entire Yang Kingdom, after a simple inference, Shi Jiangchuan and other people from Meteoric City can easily guess the Prince of Yang, so they decided to focus on checking the recent movements of the Prince.

On the other hand, after so many important ministers of the imperial court were imprisoned by Emperor Yang at the same time, it was impossible for the forces behind some ministers to ignore them, and they should more or less know some useful news for them. In addition, there must be people among the other ministers who have not been imprisoned who know the inside story, especially the ministers who have recently been promoted, so to investigate the reasons for the arrest of those ministers, we can start from these two aspects. Now Shi Jiangchuan and the others are fully manned and can act separately.

For a day, except for Shi Jiangchuan and Chang Siyuan, who had been staying in the tavern, everyone else went out to find out all the information that was useful to them. It is worth mentioning that because the prince's mansion is heavily guarded, it is inconvenient for high-level martial cultivators to sneak in, and if you want to enter the mansion to inquire about the prince's recent movements, you can only come forward by Hong Yu. At the same time, the person in charge of the same task as Hong Yu obtained the relevant information through other means.

After a night of discussion, Shi Jiangchuan and the content of the action plan they formulated were very clear, but it was not easy to do. Whether it is the Prince's Mansion or some families in the city, it is not easy for them to get in, and it is even more difficult to inquire about inside information, and the time is urgent, especially they have to ensure that their identities will not be exposed.

Fortunately, Meteorite City is a big city, there are many high-level in the city, if it is an ordinary small city, just the appearance of so many high-level martial arts cultivators overnight will attract attention, at the end of the day, their actions are quite smooth, and they have achieved a lot of results, and in the evening, Shi Jiangchuan and the others gathered together to discuss their next plan.

When the affairs of Meteorite City were speeding up, everything in the barracks was stable, because everyone was talking about Lin Xuanzhong's affairs, and everything was harmonious. Now for many people, it is a legend that Lin Xuanzhong was promoted to general less than two years after joining the army, and this legend inspires everyone in the army, and many people have already thought that as long as they have outstanding military merits, they can also be promoted, of course, one thing is certain, it is difficult for them to surpass Lin Xuanzhong's achievements.

originally thought that the situation in the army would become more and more difficult day by day, but now because of his relationship, Lin Xuanzhong felt more and more that there would be no problems tomorrow. I don't know whether to be happy about this, or to continue to worry, no matter what, the uneasiness in Lin Xuanzhong's heart has never changed.

Before resting, Lin Xuanzhong thought about things in the army as usual. At the same time, on the Sword City side, as early as after Jian Lingshuang and the others learned that the Night Army had not executed the people they had captured that night, when they saw the names of the members of the major families on the list, they all felt embarrassed.

Their original plan was to drag the night army to a serious shortage of supplies, and now if they agree to the conditions offered by the night army, they will be in vain, but to directly give up those personnel in the hands of the night army, one by one seems to be unable to do it, in such a contradiction, a group of high-level people held a meeting for this purpose, to see if there is any way to rescue those personnel, and at the same time to ensure that the lack of food and grass in the night army will not change.

Unfortunately, after a day of discussion, no one could put forward a high opinion, and because the time limit given to them by the Night Army was lenient, everyone finally decided to delay the time to reply to the Night Army as much as possible, preferably before the deadline given to them by Emperor Yang.

Of course, delaying time is just a plan of Jian Lingshuang and the others, they actually have another plan. As long as the night army does not kill those prisoners for the time being, when they join forces with the city to defeat the night army, they will naturally be able to rescue their people, and if there is an accident during the period, those prisoners can only ask for more blessings for themselves, this is their main plan.

In terms of the main plan, Jian Lingshuang and the others actually put the overall situation into account, and they had no intention of raising food and grass for the Night Army, and as far as the current situation in Sword City was concerned, they did not have the ability to gather so much food and grass for the Night Army.

Due to the tens of thousands of extra people in the city in a short period of time, the grain in the grain store has been bought out, and now they are eating the inventory of the city lord's mansion. Even if they had to trade with the Night Army, they wouldn't be able to gather food and grass without guaranteeing that the people in the city wouldn't go hungry, so on the whole, Sword City didn't have the ability to trade with the Night Army.

As for the blockade, due to the existence of that army, the people who sealed the city could not make the decision in this matter, so when they received the deal proposed by the night army, the people who sealed the city chose not to agree. However, in order for their people to live a few more days, they did not directly refuse the Night Army. In the same way as Sword City, they also tried to delay the time to reply to the Night Army.

It is worth mentioning that no matter how the two cities plan to deal with the deal proposed to them by the night army, the personnel of the two sides did not have too much suspicion when it came to the fact that the night army's food and grass could hold out for another three days. Although some people thought that the Night Army might have deliberately bluffed to buy time, as long as they attacked the Night Army camp as soon as possible, they would definitely be able to fight the Night Army by surprise, but most people's opinion was that it had nothing to do with the Night Army continuing to drag on for three days.

No matter how much food and grass the night army had, before they officially sent out their troops, the night army couldn't wait for reinforcements at all, and the movements of the 100,000 night army in the west of Yangguo had always been in their attention, and as inferred before, it was impossible for that night army to rush over to support Lin Xuanzhong. With this in mind, they let Lin Xuanzhong's goal be achieved. As long as the other party is willing to delay and not attack the camp in the next two days, they can guarantee a certain amount of time on the Meteor City side.

If Sword City and Lockdown launch an offensive in the next two days, the situation will be unimaginable.

On the fourth day of the five-day period, after a day of traveling, Shi Jiangchuan and the others finally found enough information when a general was caught by his clan because he suddenly returned to his family and could leak everyone's whereabouts at any time.

On the side of the prince's mansion, the prince has not been in and out of a restaurant he frequents for half a month, and the prince's mansion is more guarded than before, Hong Yu inquired that some high-level martial arts cultivators are always guarding the prince's side on the grounds of protecting the prince's safety, and the prince has not met with Emperor Yang for half a month.

On the other hand, those ministers who have been promoted recently have close contacts with the envoys of the Qingyuan powers, and they frequently enter and leave Shangguan Hong's mansion, which seems to have schemes.

In addition, the families behind the arrested ministers really knew about Emperor Yang's blackmail by Shangguan Hong, and according to the information obtained by some people, the ministers who were previously imprisoned by Emperor Yang were all locked up in a well-guarded prison and supervised by those powerful ministers. After integrating the news from all parties, although he could not meet with Emperor Yang, Emperor Yang's situation was already very clear.

According to Lin Xuanzhong, letting Emperor Yang get rid of Shangguan Hong's control is their chance to turn over, and now Shi Jiangchuan and others do not seek merit, but seek no fault, and they all hope that by helping Emperor Yang get out, they can accept Emperor Yang's punishment with dignity, instead of waiting for death in humiliation as before.

After the news of Emperor Yang's trap was confirmed, Shi Jiangchuan and the others were already discussing plans to help Emperor Yang get out of control, they were running out of time, and they had to rescue the crown prince and those imprisoned ministers as soon as possible.

On the side of the Prince's Mansion, Shangguan Hong's monitoring of the prince was very strict, originally only some people left by Gu Jun were in charge, and now there are some people provided by the family, it can be said that the prince's mansion is full of people from the other party inside and out, Shi Jiangchuan The preliminary news they got is that there are at least a dozen high-level martial cultivators in the mansion, and there are likely to be eighth-order martial cultivators among them. Based on the situation in the prince's mansion, they initially decided to send at least twenty people to be responsible for the rescue, and Shi Jiangchuan planned to personally lead the team.
