I have Taoism and can understand other worlds

Chapter 497 White King
“Such a big mess has happened, why do we just know about it?!” Inside the humble house in Tianyuan City, several strong men stood in front of the table.

The candlelight dotted around, illuminating the dark room.

On the wooden table, a piece of white paper was spread out. Everyone's eyes fell on the paper, and their faces were somewhat embarrassed.

No one had expected that the great King of Taicang would be assassinated.

The unrest outside Tianyuan City happened too quickly and they never received any news of it.

"We have been lurking for so long, who on earth could have done this? And it caused such a big commotion!" The burly man in the middle of the crowd said in a cold tone.

"Once we are exposed, there will be no place for us in the entire Taicang!? Didn't we agree to wait for the right time? Why are we acting in such a hurry?"

"Chi Hou, this is not our fault. This is the news from the Holy Fire Sect."

"Snapped!"

Before he could finish his words, a heavy slap was heard, and someone screamed and fell to the ground.

"The Holy Fire Cult gave me this information. Humph. I think you have been in Tianyuan City for too long and your brains have been ruined." The burly man said viciously. "King Bai has kept you for so long, just to let you act like this? Not only did you ruin the elite warriors hiding in Tianyuan City, but you also got important people captured."

"You guys are just dreaming if you want to overthrow Tianyuan City."

After the burly man finished speaking, the room fell silent.

Everyone present was silent, lowering their heads and staring at the table.

Just as Chi Hou said, staying in Tianyuan City for many years has indeed worn away their fighting spirit. Here, with wealth and splendor, they can easily live a life of luxury.

Isn't this better than fighting with foreign tribes on the border of the wilderness? Who would want to go back to the days of licking blood on the tip of a knife and sleeping in the desert? Who doesn't like to sleep with a soft and fragrant woman in their arms every day without worrying about attacks from the outside world?

After living in this prosperous Tianyuan City for a long time, they are no longer willing to do things that could cost them their lives.

"In short, nothing I say now will help. But that person must be rescued. Otherwise, King Bai's plan will be exposed, and we will surely die." The burly man said in a slightly softer tone, looking at several people.

The person who was arrested was Bai Wang Yihou, and he was involved in the Bai Wang's plan. As long as there was a slight possibility, they would not give up.

After a few people finished speaking, the voices gradually faded away.

After a long time, the courtyard returned to silence again.

……

In Xue's mansion, Jiang Wen and Jiang Wenji sat side by side. They looked at Xue, who was sitting in the main seat, with very different expressions on their faces.

After the two returned to Tianyuan City, Xue asked someone to pick them up for the appointment. Jiang Wen naturally agreed, and Jiang Wenji had no objection.

Jiang Rong, who happened to be at Xue's residence, looked at Jiang Wen curiously. She had also heard about the assassination of the Heavenly King. She caught Jiang Wen and asked quietly, "Was it really so dangerous at that time?"

After hearing her words, Jiang Wen weighed it over and decided to tell Jiang Rong about the situation.

After all, Jiang Rong and he were acquaintances, so she could still tell her this.

Hearing Jiang Wen's words, Jiang Rong showed regret on her face. She looked at Jiang Wen carefully and patted her chest with her hand.

"Why haven't I encountered such an exciting thing?" Jiang Rong said with a sigh.

"Exciting?" Jiang Wen looked at Jiang Rong speechlessly. "Do you also like to join in the fun of this kind of thing?"

"Of course." Jiang Rong smiled. "When I went to the capital, I encountered a foreign race robbing the trade route. I fought with them and lost many lives."

"You actually have such an experience." Jiang Wen was shocked by Jiang Rong's behavior. She was able to fight against aliens at such a young age. She was not an ordinary girl.

Just as they were talking excitedly, they saw Xue walk up to them. She looked at Jiang Wen with a calm expression, "Something must happen tonight. If nothing happens, stay in the mansion."

"What's the matter? What happened?" Jiang Rong came over curiously.

Jiang Wen patted Jiang Rong's head, then smiled and said, "This time when the Heavenly King was attacked, Wuliang Hou and the Imperial Guards captured some people. The identities of these people are not simple, and the people behind them will definitely not give up. No matter how dangerous it is, they will rescue people."

"So something is going to happen today?" Jiang Rong asked in surprise.

"Of course." Xue nodded.

"Since they won't give up, let them give up completely."

"You mean setting an ambush..." Jiang Wen made a gesture.

"Yes, this time we will take these people down." Xue said lightly.

"But do you need my help?" Jiang Wen looked at Xue and asked. "If you are too deliberate, people will definitely notice that there is something fishy going on. You might as well be half-truthful and half-false, so that you can lure the snake out of its hole."

"Then what should I do?" Xue asked.

"Shennong once wrote in the Art of War that if someone is weak, make him real; if someone is real, make him weak. Since we want to encircle and wipe out these bandits hiding in Tianyuan City, we naturally cannot be too real. Only by being half true and half false can people let down their guard." Jiang Wenjie said.

"Since we are all prepared, why not replace the guards of the prison in the royal city? Send heavy soldiers to guard the prison at night, and actually set up an ambush. Since the outside is strict, the inside must also be strict, but if it is not strict, there will always be some loopholes. This will give the thieves the illusion that the prison is strict on the outside but loose on the inside."

After Jiang Wenji finished speaking, Jiang Rong clapped her hands and cheered. Xue discussed with several people in detail and arranged the ambush plan.

Then everyone left the mansion and dispersed. Xue Zhi's imperial guards were the four holy marquises. Naturally, they had to escort the captives to the royal city.

The phoenix carriage she was riding in passed by an attic when returning to the royal city. Suddenly, a strong wind blew up, and the curtain of a large carriage in the army was lifted, revealing a person in purple clothes with his hands and feet tied.

When the wind blew and the curtains fell, the passers-by who were watching in the attic hurried away.

It was also on that day that the security in the royal city suddenly increased a lot. Even the imperial guards from Tianyuan City were stationed near the royal city's sky prison.

Whenever officials passed by the royal city, they left in a hurry, fearing that something might happen if they stayed too long.

Above the Royal City Prison, several people were sitting in the attic. Xue, Jiang Wen and others were all there, holding tea and quietly watching every move of the prison.

"Are you sure they will come tonight?" asked Xue who was sitting at the table.

"This is a natural thing. It is impossible for people not to save them. It can even be said that they will definitely come to save or kill them."

Jiang Wenjie drank a cup of tea confidently, then sat aside and looked at Jiang Wen with a smile.

On the side, a man was wearing white armor, holding a Fang Tian painted halberd, with a long sword on his waist and a large bow on his back.

With his long hair tied up and eyes like a tiger, he is a very majestic person.

It is said that those who are good at using Fang Tian Hua Ji are all arrogant and domineering. If you don't have confidence, how dare you use it?

"This is the main gate. Ordinary people think that the main gate is well guarded. In fact, the side gates and the two sides are the most heavily guarded areas. Those people have been able to hide in Tianyuan City for so long, and there must be talented people among them. They will definitely see the tricks."

"If we are too foolish in our defense, those people will doubt whether the prison is a fraud."

"If one is strict in appearance but strict in secret, then in reality he is not strict. Even a smart person will have his moments of enlightenment." Jiang Wenjie said, with a nostalgic look on her face.

"I also followed this path back then."
