The life of the Xianyu family through books

"Uncle Gan, is the Prince of Qi's wife still in the palace?" Yan Yu wanted to confirm it again.

"She will be placed in the west courtyard, and the servants around her will be replaced by those from our house. People will be arranged to patrol outside the courtyard day and night." Eunuch Wang attached great importance to it.

The prince and the crown prince are not in the mansion, and the crown prince's wife is not the type to worry about anything. As the general manager, he has to take care of everything. If the waiter had not come to report the news in advance today, and the rebels of Xizhou suddenly attacked him when he was off guard, he might really fall into the trap of those rebels.

"Does the Crown Prince's Concubine have any plans to leave the house recently?" Yan Yu asked again.

Eunuch Wang said softly, "The ceremonial boat to the south has been delayed again and again. The Crown Prince and his wife have to personally review everything, so they have no time to go out. Even yesterday, during the Dragon Boat Festival, they had no intention of going out for fun."

Yan Yu clapped his hands and said, "That's right! If Xizhou wants to kidnap someone, they can do it outside the palace or inside the palace. The former requires finding out the Crown Prince's Concubine's schedule, and the Crown Prince's Concubine has to go out. Hahaha, but the Crown Prince's Concubine won't go out, so they are likely to sneak into the palace."

"If Xizhou sends enough people to Guanzhou, maybe they can attack it head-on..." Yan Yu frowned and thought: "No! This is too risky. After all, Yongning City still has 5,000 city defense troops. Even if the palace allows them to succeed, it will be difficult for them to leave the city. So they should sneak in."

Eunuch Wang nodded, thinking that his beloved grandson had clear ideas and was right.

"Master Gan will pass the word down right away and arrange for more people to patrol the area. I guarantee that not even a fly can fly in."

"Maybe they have already come in." Yan Yu had a vague feeling that Xizhou had been well prepared in terms of lurking and was ahead of Guanzhou.

"After the plum blossom viewing banquet, only a group of new people entered the mansion. Their backgrounds were all checked thoroughly. If there are still people who can sneak in, it is estimated that there are only one or two of them." Eunuch Wang said impartially.

"That's enough to pass on the message." Yan Yu said quickly, "As long as there are people in the palace, we can do a lot of things. We can continue to receive people from outside, just like me. I brought in a lot of people in the name of delivering things. I can hide them in vegetable baskets or under cart frames if I really want to."

Yan Yu recalled a classic scene, Jin Bizi said: "The palace has swill buckets shipped out every day, and there are also grain recycling buckets, there is both inflow and outflow..."

Eunuch Wang was stunned for a moment, then he was amused by his grandson's words.

"You little cunning kid, you can actually think of all these. Don't worry, if you really want to sneak into the mansion, the place where you hid people in the vegetable basket and under the car frame is more reliable. I'm afraid they can't get in the swill bucket and Ye Xiang. Even if they really get in, they will be stained with the smell, and they will stink no matter where they go. Aren't they like sitting ducks? Haha!" Eunuch Wang said this and covered his mouth with a handkerchief and laughed for a long time.

Yan Yu:......

Is it really that funny?

  Such a classic stealth tactic!

Forget it. Master Gan doesn't believe that he is too pure-hearted. She should be on guard as long as she can. Just in case, just in case, there really is someone who doesn't mind the dirty trick!

……

"The people in the Prince of England's Palace would never have thought that we would hide in an empty barrel used to transport night incense!" The lean middle-aged man looked like he had a plan in hand. "Only one of our people sneaked in. Although there are disadvantages, there are also advantages. He hid alone, so the risk of being exposed was extremely small. Even more fortunately, the Prince of England's Palace purged a group of people after the plum blossom viewing banquet last year, and he happened to be not among them and escaped. After that, I stopped contacting him until a few days ago, when I got in touch with him again."

"This man is very clever. He not only drew a rough layout of the King's Palace for us, but also paid close attention to the routes and times of the palace guards' patrols. Based on the information he passed on, I drew this map."

A crowd of heads came over.

More than a dozen people were crammed into this small room.

Some of them are permanently stationed in Yongning City, while others come from Gufeng, Changping, and even farther away, Longxing and Fengming.

The reason why no one came from Huju.

It’s not that Xizhou didn’t send people to Huju, but that the main force of Guanzhou’s army was stationed in the border town of Huju, and the people there could not be withdrawn.

"This is the courtyard where the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess live. This is where the youngest son of the King of England lives. If we want to exchange our Crown Prince, the Crown Princess and the youngest son of the King of England are not enough alone. The two of them together are enough." The middle-aged man said. The others nodded and agreed with this statement.

"Then should we split up into two groups, capture people separately and then reunite?"

"No, there aren't many of us who can sneak in. Most of us have to stay outside the mansion to provide support. Brothers, catching people is only the first hurdle. The road from the mansion to the city is where we have to fight for our lives."

"What's your plan? Tell me. We're still here even if we're afraid of death!"

"Okay! As the saying goes, wealth and honor come with risk! We in Xizhou are strong in both military and cavalry. If it weren't for Guanzhou's trick to capture our prince, how could the prince be so passive? As long as we can rescue the prince, we can ride across mountains and rivers and attack Huanglong directly!

By then, we brothers will all be the heroes who saved the prince! The kingdom that the prince has conquered will sooner or later be passed to the prince. Once the prince ascends the throne, brothers, our good days will come!"

The group of people's eyes sparkled after hearing what he said.

Why do you want to be a rebel? Isn't it for the immense wealth and glory?

"The Prince of Ying's Palace sends a night carriage into the palace before dawn every day. We should take advantage of this time to enter and first capture Master Mian, then the Prince of Ying's Consort. If everything goes well..." He pointed to a courtyard on the west side of the Prince of Ying's Palace. "Our Prince of Ying's Consort and the young master may be imprisoned here. This is also the only way for us to evacuate the Prince of Ying's Palace. If the time is right, take them with us."

What the middle-aged man didn't say was that he had received a secret order.

If you cannot exchange the Crown Prince back, you must rescue the legitimate son under the Crown Prince.

Their prince is in good health, and having a son to inherit the throne is the same as having a grandson to inherit the throne.

In his opinion, if the prince had not considered the theory of legitimate sons, the several illegitimate sons under him would also...

However, he could only think about this idea in his mind and dared not say it out loud.

He would not mention this secret order to anyone. Once a person has another choice, he will lose his courage.

Now these people only want to capture people and exchange them for the prince, which is good enough.

Just like he said, nothing can be accomplished without trying hard this time.

Let him take care of other distractions.

The middle-aged man explained the plan in detail twice.

He was interrupted again and again and asked for more details.

He is very patient. He is not afraid of people asking detailed questions, but is afraid of them not asking.

At the end of the discussion, the middle-aged man's throat became dry from talking, so he asked them to study the picture. He went out to fetch a bucket of water, and brought back a few bowls, filled them one by one, and handed them to everyone.

After happily drinking a bowl of water, Fang said earnestly, "Brothers, it's not easy to replace the night-scented barrel with a new one, so as not to attract attention. But I promise to have it cleaned inside and out. Brothers, just bear with it. For the prince's plan, for our prince, and for your future wealth and honor, everything is worth it!"
