East Factory Governor

Chapter 661
"Is there a secret passage in the prince's mansion?" Qin Shuhuai asked directly.

Zhu Zhishu hesitated, but then nodded and said, "There is indeed a secret passage. The entrance of the secret passage is under a rockery in the backyard, but Cao Guozhang sent troops to block the entire backyard a few days ago in the name of protecting the palace."

"how many people?"

"There are at least 50 people guarding the backyard, and now even the king is not allowed to enter."

"It's okay, just some shrimp soldiers and crab generals."

"My lord, they are not generals. According to the commander of the king's personal guards, there are many good soldiers among the 50 people. Besides, there are two hundred soldiers stationed around the palace besides those guarding the backyard."

Qin Shuhuai smiled disdainfully, "You don't need to worry about the king of Shu. The officials also brought a large number of martial arts masters here, and they are all famous martial arts masters. How can these idiots be unstoppable?"

Zhu Zhishu knew that Qin Shuhuai was the leader of the martial arts alliance, so when Qin Shuhuai said it, he believed it.

"In other words, the Duke intends to bring Wu Yutian's family members to the palace, and then escape through the secret passage?"

"Exactly."

"But what if Cao Guozhang sent someone to guard the exit of the secret passage?"

"Hehe, he sent people to guard the exit, so can't we dig the exit halfway and get out?"

Zhu Zhishu pondered for a long time, but still said worriedly, "If Cao Guozhang knew that we were going through the secret road, he would definitely order troops to be guarded along the secret road. He knows the direction of the secret road."

Qin Shuhuai smiled, and said casually, "It depends on which of us is faster! As long as we seize the entrance of the secret path, Cao Guozhang will first hand over the map of the secret path to his confidants, and then his confidants will bring the map to find it. The soldiers stationed outside the city will take those soldiers to deploy defenses along the secret passage, and it will take two quarters of an hour for the defense to be in place. As long as we go out to the secret passage during this time, they will never find it again!"

This estimate is relatively accurate.Chengdu is a big city. It takes at least 10 minutes to ride from the governor's office to the outside of the city, and then explain the situation to the generals outside the city, and then take the army to the secret road to deploy defenses along the way. It takes at least ten minutes. In less than half an hour, Qin Shuhuai naturally talked more in order to strengthen Zhu Zhishu's confidence.

This is the fastest method.If you lead troops directly from the Governor's Yamen to deploy defenses, it will definitely take more time, because it will take longer for the soldiers to run out of the city.

Zhu Zhishu frowned deeply, still a little worried.

You must know that if the plan fails, Cao Guozhang is likely to kill him.

Seeing this, Qin Shuhuai's face darkened, and he said in a concentrated voice, "My lord, I think this is our best chance. If it succeeds, my lord has made meritorious service in defending the land. Not only can I get my whole body back, but I will definitely be rewarded by the emperor. If I fail, I will also give you a reward." You must do your best to protect the prince comprehensively. When the prince returns to the capital, he will not live up to the name of loyalty, and the emperor will not embarrass the prince."

"But if the lord does nothing, I think the situation of the lord is very worrying! To tell you the truth, the 10,000 martial arts coalition forces of the lord, together with the [-]+ troops from the three sides, have already been waiting in full force at the Sichuan-Shaanxi border. If this plan If it doesn’t work, the army will attack Sichuan immediately! Your lord is aware of the details, so naturally he knows that Sichuan will not be able to match the strength of the entire Ming Dynasty, right? When the imperial court’s army approaches the city, where will your lord go?”

Zhu Zhishu remained silent, but still nodded slightly.

He naturally understands what Qin Shuhuai said.

He also didn't believe that Cao Guozhang could hold Sichuan. If nothing else, he just said that Qin Shuhuai in front of him had never been defeated in the past two years.His martial arts allied forces are no match for the Demon Cult and Tartar soldiers, so how could Cao Guozhang be able to fight against them?And if he refuses to cooperate with him this time, once the imperial court regains Chengdu, he will be the first to kill himself.

But to take a step back, if Cao Guozhang got a lot of help from outside and really defended Sichuan, then he would have to watch his face live.If he had been kinder, he would have put himself under house arrest.If he was more vicious, he would directly kill himself and become the king!

Thinking of this, everything is relieved.

He immediately said, "Don't worry, my lord, as the king of Shu in the imperial court, I will live and die with the land of Shu! From now on, I will obey Lord Hou's orders!"

"My lord is righteous!" Qin Shuhuai praised, and said again, "Then, I want to ask my lord, how many personal guards are left in the mansion that my lord can still mobilize?"

Zhu Zhishu said, "there are a total of 150 and six guards in the palace, all of whom are old people who have been with the king for many years. The guards should not be stupid. They all know that following Cao Guozhang's rebellion will lead to a dead end, so even if some of them were bought by Cao Guozhang, the number Not too many."

"Very good, that's fine! But the prince must remember not to reveal any rumors before doing it."

"This king knows. Then, Lord, now you can tell me when you will do it, and how you plan to do it?"

"That's natural."

So, Qin Shuhuai explained his plan to Zhu Zhishu.He hadn't thought about many of the details before, but after mastering the situation of the palace, he also thought about it.

After explaining everything, Qin Shuhuai bid farewell to Zhu Zhishu and quietly flew back to the roof.

In order to make it easier for Qin Shuhuai to put the tiles back, Zhu Zhishu excused the two guards at the door - although these two guards were his confidantes, he was able to take precautions, and now he must not let anyone know Qin Shuhuai has been here.

Qin Shuhuai was about to put the tiles back when he saw Zhao Tiezhu's body and his broken silver gun.

Very annoying!

Putting it on the roof will inevitably be discovered, and Cao Guozhang will definitely send more experts over by then.But take it away, the speed of moving behind your back will inevitably slow down, otherwise you will be seen by other experts.

After thinking for a while, he hugged Zhao Tiezhu's body and jumped down again.

Zhu Zhishu was shocked when he saw a dead body.

Your Majesty, how have you ever seen this before?

"My lord, this, this is?"

"A dead man. By the way, does the prince know him?"

Zhu Zhishu stammered, "This man, this man seems to be sent by Cao Guozhang. It is said that the commander of the guards said he is a master."

"A master? You can't beat a subordinate official."

"Grandpa's martial arts are world-class, hehe, sure enough... martial arts are world-class."

"My lord has won the prize."

Qin Shuhuai said as if nothing had happened, then looked around the room, and finally stopped his gaze under Zhu Zhishu's bed.

Zhu Zhishu seemed to have guessed what he was going to do, and his face turned pale in a flash.

"Master, don't you want it?"

Qin Shuhuai gave Zhu Zhishu a chuckle, and quickly shoved him under his bed.

By the way, the silver gun was also thrown in.

Zhu Zhishu swallowed with a thud, his whole body trembling.

"My lord, this corpse is not easy for officials to deal with, so let's put it here first. My lord, please sleep peacefully. It's cold, and it won't stink after a day."

Zhu Zhishu wished he could strangle Qin Shuhuai to death, and then put him under the bed too!
Putting a dead body under the king's bed at night, so that the king can sleep peacefully?
Qin Shuhuai didn't care about this, he went back to the roof and put the roof tiles back to their original state, then disappeared into the night.

And Zhu Zhishu went straight out of the bedroom and went to sleep with his beloved concubine.

Speaking of which, Zhao Tiezhu finally slept back in the prince's bedroom.

After leaving the palace and returning to the original place, Qin Shuhuai found Li Dingguo.

Two or three hours have passed by now.

"My lord, have you found your lord?" Li Dingguo asked.

"found it."

"Is he willing to cooperate?"

"Li Canjun asked knowingly, hehe. Don't worry, I have made an agreement with him."

Li Dingguo said, "Grandpa Guo is a good lobbyist, it seems that I don't need to come here."

"Who said it would be boring if you didn't come to me alone."

An imperceptible smile crossed Li Dingguo's face, but it was fleeting.

He now understands why so many people are willing to follow this Duke.

Qin Shuhuai and Li Dingguo left the city and returned to the town.

Go to Chu Dahai first, tell him that the plan has been made, and ask him to call Qi Cheng and the others over tomorrow morning.

Then went back to the inn.

Fall back to sleep.

The next morning, Qi Cheng, Wang Miao, and Chu Dahai came as scheduled.

Qin Shuhuai called Zhiren, Wang Datong, and Li Dingguo over, and explained in detail the specific action plan for the night.

The plan is simple and simple, but in actual operation, every detail must be handled well, especially from robbing people in the Wu mansion to entering the Shu palace, the process must be fast, otherwise it will be too late.

The seven people discussed carefully for two hours, analyzed all possible problems in various aspects, and formulated a plan before the meeting adjourned.

After Qi Sheng and Wang Miao returned to the city, they immediately summoned the Bailian sect secretly to prepare for the night's action.

After that, Qin Shuhuai took Li Dingguo, Zhiren, and Wang Datong downstairs for dinner, and then went back to the room to sleep soundly.

While Zhiren and Wang Datong talked and laughed happily in the house drinking tea.

He looked calm and calm, without the slightest sense of oppression before the war.

Only Li Dingguo spent the whole afternoon deducing every step of the whole plan in the room, trying to make the plan foolproof.

At a certain moment, he suddenly realized that he seemed to really want to make this thing happen—not just want to save the lives of four or five thousand brothers.

It's just this feeling, not good.

into the night!

In the city of Chengdu, there is silence, only the whistling sound of the north wind.The wind swept the fallen leaves and raged everywhere in the city.

Due to the curfew, the people in the city went back to their homes as soon as Haishi passed. Only the hard-working Qiuba were left on duty despite the cold wind.

Four black shadows quietly entered the city, and then quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Three of them rushed to the Wu Mansion, and the other rushed to the Shu Palace.

A battle is about to begin.
