I have Taoism and can understand other worlds

Chapter 498 Lure the snake out of its hole
"I didn't expect that you would lose sometimes." Xue said softly, holding the teacup.

"There is no one in the world who can win every battle, and I am no exception." Jiang Wenji said. She looked at Xue with nostalgia in her eyes. "If your master hadn't saved me back then, I might not be who I am today."

When Jiang Wen heard this, he was about to say something when he heard Jiang Wenjie chuckle.

When asked what happened, she pointed to a certain place in the prison.

However, there was a person who looked at the Royal City Prison stealthily, wrote something on a piece of paper and then left.

"It looks like the fish has taken the bait." Jiang Wenji said with a smile. "I thought they would keep quiet for a few days, but I didn't expect them to be so impatient."

"The captured person might be someone important to them."

"Of course." Xue replied. "The black-armored soldiers are extraordinary, and they can use the Shennong crossbow. Without the cooperation of the high-ranking people in Tianyuan City, who could have deployed such a method so easily? It's just that they didn't calculate one thing."

After Xue finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Wenjie who was standing beside her. The two looked at each other, and Jiang Wenjie drank her tea slowly and steadily.

Let’s not talk about Jiang Wen and others for now.

After secretly observing the royal city's prison, the hidden spy returned to a secluded place and reported the situation to the man named Chi Hou.

Now the life and death of the person who peeped inside is uncertain, and the most important figure of the Bai King’s faction in Tianyuan City is Chi Hou.

The White King is a direct descendant of the Taicang royal family and occupies the Taicang area. However, with the overwhelming power of the Heavenly King, it is difficult for the White King to realize his ambition to ascend to the throne of the emperor. Therefore, he wanted to get rid of the Heavenly King even more, and even started planning a hundred years ago.

There are many insiders in Tianyuan City, all of whom were rewarded and lured by King Bai.

After learning the situation in detail over the past two days and looking at the defense distribution map of the Royal City Sky Prison, Chi Hou fell into deep thought.

"The main gate of the prison is well guarded, and there are also many imperial guards on both sides. The back door is even more impenetrable, and anyone who passes through will be checked for identity. It seems that the person we are looking for must be in the back room of the prison."

Chi Hou drew a circle on the defense distribution map, circling the entire back half of the sky prison.

"We don't have many helpers in Tianyuan City, and we need the help of Jutian Hou. What does Jutian Hou say?" Chi Hou looked at the person next to him and asked.

"Marquis Jutian said that Tianyuan City can provide 800 Azure Dragon Guards, but we cannot attack for a long time and must fight quickly. Otherwise, if other guards in the city arrive, we will not be able to escape." The man answered in the dark.

"Of course." Chi Hou nodded, and then asked the man, "What does Bai Mu Hou think?"

"The Heavenly Prison has arranged its troops like this, there must be someone with great expertise instructing them. If we want to break in and rescue the insider, we need to lure out the guards in the back room of the Heavenly Prison, and then cooperate with the imperial guards from inside and outside. Only in this way can we succeed." The man smiled faintly, and said no more after he finished speaking.

Chi Hou looked at the defense distribution map and agreed with it deeply.

"In that case, notify the secret agent in the Imperial Guards and have him find out how many people are in the back room of the Heavenly Prison. It would be best if we could switch guards with the guards in the back room, so that we can reduce some casualties."

When the subordinates heard what Chi Hou said, they responded with a "yes" and left.

After assigning the tasks, Chi Hou walked out of the room and came to a hidden underground passage.

But I saw that this place had been hollowed out, with dozens of pillars supporting the foundation.

The surging crowd walked back and forth underground, sorting out their magic weapons and armor.

Seeing Chi Hou coming, the leader hurried forward.

"Lord Chi, our subordinates have assembled and are waiting for your order."

"How many tribal warriors have come?" asked Chi Hou.

"Most of the brothers in Tianyuan City are here." The leader said. "There are two thousand people in total, scattered in various hidden places."

"Ju Tianhou still has 800 Qinglong Imperial Guards, plus the manpower we have, it won't be difficult to attack the Heavenly Prison." Chi Hou smiled confidently. "When the time comes, all the brothers present will be rewarded if we rescue that person. You can also choose a place to live in Tianyuan City as a reward."

"Thank you very much, Lord Chi." The leader said happily.

"Then we will gather at the hour of Xu, march at the hour of Hai, and attack the Heavenly Prison at the hour of Zi!" Chi Hou made the final decision.

Even amid this undercurrent, Tianyuan City remains prosperous.

Singing and drums and gongs were beating.

Completely unaware of the bloody storm that was about to happen.

Xue sat at the table and handed the jade token in her hand to everyone. Jiang Wen looked at it and said with a smile: "It seems that the person behind this can't sit still anymore. I guess he will take action tonight."

"Of course." Jiang Wenjie nodded.

She spread out the jade token and burned it in her palm.

The flames slowly devoured the paper, and the words disappeared one by one. From bottom to top, it read "Ju Tian Hou asked about the defense of the Heavenly Prison."

……

The moon has set, the stars are sparse, and everything is quiet.

There were lights flickering beside the prison and whispers echoing.

The armored imperial guards patrolled the surroundings, checking the situation.

"It's strange why the centurion would transfer us here."

"I'm not sure either. I heard from the captain that it's more relaxing here. We guys are tired standing in front of the prison, so it's more comfortable to come here."

"So that's how it is. The captain is really considerate."

The imperial guards were chatting and laughing, totally unaware of the dark shadows in the street not far away.

"Hey, do you think the captain has encountered any troubles recently? I always feel that he is moody."

"do not know."

The soldiers of the imperial guards, holding their weapons, went to investigate the courtyard.

Then he heard a clang, and an arrow flew towards him like a meteor.

The arrow hit his armor squarely, and the feathers at the tail were still shaking wildly. The body of the imperial guard was shattered on the spot and turned into blood.

The imperial guards on the side stepped back in horror, holding their spears and shouting, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Suddenly, drums sounded and countless flames shot up into the sky.

Shouts, the sound of armor, the sounds intertwined, and various lights flashed, all of which were the sounds of magic weapons.

The imperial guards came forward, holding shields to defend outside the prison.

"kill!"

Hundreds of imperial guards wearing green armor rushed out from the dark alley, holding long swords and holding green dragon shields.

Three people formed a row, ten people formed a squad, and a hundred people formed a line. Like lightning, they charged towards the army.

For a moment, the prison was filled with flames on all sides, and the symphony of sounds of iron and thunder was heard incessantly.

In the attic opposite the prison, a window was open.

The lights in the room were off. A maid carefully brought tea and stood quietly by, not daring to say a word.

"The fish has taken the bait." Jiang Wenjie's eyes were bright in the night.

Even though I couldn't see her face clearly, I could still feel her happy mood.

"It's a big fish. I thought deploying so many troops was an overkill, but now it seems to be a wise move. I was ignorant."

Jiang Wen, who was sitting aside, looked at the fighting under the Sky Prison and couldn't help but sigh.

"I'll punish myself with a cup of tea."

"Why not drink some wine?" Xue said, having been silent for a long time.

"The two armies are fighting right now, how can you mislead me with wine?" Jiang Wen teased.

"You don't need to take action in this matter. You just need to lure out the person behind the scenes." Xue said calmly.

"Even a tiger knows how to use all its strength when hunting. This fight is a matter of life and death, so naturally we have to take everything into consideration." Jiang Wen laughed.

Xue nodded after hearing this, then looked at the maid behind her, waved her hand and said, "Since they have taken the bait, light the lights."

After saying this, the maid lit the candle on the table.

When the attic was bright, the fighting outside became more and more intense. There were constant screams, even alarming the imperial guards in the distance.

"Pass my order, retreat three steps and lure the snake out of its hole." Xue looked at the imperial guards who had been waiting on the right for a long time and handed over the order token.
