Chapter 159: Chapter 86: Trip to Yuzhou (7) Seeking Reinforcents_4
Ye Qichi looked at him.
Xiao Jinxing said, "Call for reinforcents."
"Who?" Ye Qichi asked.
"General Bai," Xiao Jinxing stated, pausing between words.
Ye Qichi’s eyes flickered slightly.
"It takes at least half a month from the border to Yuzhou, given our speed," Ye Qichi said, "Half a month... Yuzhou City might already be a dead city by then."
"That’s why we still need to wait for Little Wu. With Little Wu’s speed, it would take at most three days on a fast horse with a whip," Xiao Jinxing explained.
So.
It seed like idle talk.
If they couldn’t find Little Wu, it all would have been in vain.
Ye Qichi sat on the ground, feeling sowhat irritated.
Again trying to calm down and think.
Unable to go to Yuzhou and unable to go back, the only option was to call for reinforcents.
Only Bai Wenwu as reinforcents?!
Ye Qichi suddenly had a brainwave.
She turned her head to look at Xiao Jinxing, "I have a plan now."
Xiao Jinxing frowned.
"Reinforcents from General Bai are naturally the best, but distant water cannot put out a nearby fire, and our urgent need now is to find allies here in this place," she said.
"Go on." Xiao Jinxing, not knowing when, had developed a trust in Ye Qichi.
He felt that this woman was indeed clever.
"Those two soldiers just now, they are people who might help us."
Xiao Jinxing’s eyes tightened.
"From their conversation just now, it was clear they are dissatisfied with the sealing of Yuzhou City. They are only complying due to military orders and dare not rebel. But if we could help them break open the gates of Yuzhou City, they’d have no reason to refuse us!"
"How will you break it open?" Xiao Jinxing asked, "Once inside, can you open it? Without support, we are dood to die if we enter."
"The Deputy Military Governor of Yuzhou City, Pang Nan, is an upright man. Though loyally unswerving, always obeying Chen Hezhi, his heart is devoted solely to the people. If we could find him, given the current dire state of the city’s people, I believe he could be persuaded to help us!"
"So, your idea is to et Pang Nan first," Xiao Jinxing mused.
"Yes, currently the only way to break the impasse is through Pang Nan," Ye Qichi emphasized, pausing between words.
"How do you know what kind of person Pang Nan is?"
"I heard it from my father," Ye Qichi made up an excuse.
Of course, she wouldn’t tell him that she had read about it in a book, where in the end Pang Nan pledged allegiance to Xiao Jinxing, and soone who could ally with the male protagonist naturally wasn’t a bad person.
Xiao Jinxing actually had so understanding of Pang Nan as well, very aware of his loyalty to the court and indeed a good official who acts for the people, not for himself. Yet, if they rashly sought him now... With Pang Nan’s loyalty to higher-ups, if he stubbornly followed only Chen Hezhi’s commands, they would be directly delivering themselves to the doorstep.
"I’ll go." Ye Qichi was aware of what Xiao Jinxing was thinking.
He considered it more comprehensively, and after all, she couldn’t guarantee that Pang Nan could be persuaded so quickly by them.
"I’ll go alone to find Pang Nan, I’ll convince him, you wait outside the city," Ye Qichi declared directly.
She never thought of letting Xiao Jinxing take the risk.
"If you go, it only ans death," Xiao Jinxing stated emphatically.
Ye Qichi silently looked at Xiao Jinxing.
This damned Prince must feel uncomfortable all day if he isn’t putting soone down, right?
"Pang Nan will never listen to you unless..." Xiao Jinxing’s eyes tightened.
Ye Qichi just looked straight at him.
"Unless I personally go et him."
Ye Qichi felt a slight stir in her heart.
Would the damned Prince dare to take the risk himself?!
"You wait outside the city, I’ll go," Xiao Jinxing commanded.
"Aren’t you afraid of dying?" Ye Qichi blurted out.
Xiao Jinxing looked coldly at Ye Qichi, slowly saying, "Staying here ans waiting for death too."
So the damned Prince thinks, since it’s death either way, might as well give it a shot.
"I’ll go with you," Ye Qichi did not say much, very resolute.
"You have a child..."
"I’ll entrust the child to the soldiers to take care of," Ye Qichi said, "It really affects our plan, I won’t act willfully."
Xiao Jinxing looked at Ye Qichi.
Ye Qichi said, "I’m going together, we can at least look out for each other, and if anything happens I can still help you."
Xiao Jinxing did not agree.
Ye Qichi smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t hold you back."
"Ye Qichi, what are you really doing this for?" Xiao Jinxing suddenly asked her.
Why be so reckless, for what?!
Ye Qichi was startled by Xiao Jinxing’s question.
After thinking it over, she replied, "Of course, to help you."
Once you beco the Emperor, I can freely leave the scene and roam the world!
Xiao Jinxing’s eyes seed to flicker as he kept looking at Ye Qichi. She smiled slightly, appearing sincerely earnest.
Xiao Jinxing shifted his gaze.
Ye Qichi willing to join him in taking a risk was her own choice, he didn’t need to feel anything.
"I’m going to find the soldiers now; you wait here," Ye Qichi was also a very eager person.
Whatever she thought of, she would imdiately act on.
She quickly handed the baby to Xiao Jinxing and without hesitation went to the place where the soldiers had been standing guard monts ago.
Xiao Jinxing held the child, then watched the departing figure of Ye Qichi.
Why could this woman be so reckless?
And why could she be so positive and proactive?
As if no matter how big the problem, she would never give up, never be discouraged!
And such a person really can easily influence others.
