Chapter 163: Chapter 87 Travel to Chongqing (8) eting with Xiao Wu_4
At that ti, hearing all this, he actually had so admiration for the Military Governor of Yuzhou City.
"It’s not about sharing life and death; it’s just that he can ensure his own safety," Ye Qichi said with so irony.
"If that’s the case, why doesn’t the Military Governor open the city gates? The plague has already spread out; he must know that the imperial court is aware of the epidemic in Yuzhou City!" Xiao Wu didn’t quite understand.
"He’s waiting for the arrival of Prince Chu," Ye Qichi said deliberately, pausing after each word.
As he was speaking, he glanced at Xiao Jinxing next to him.
Xiao Jinxing’s face was extrely unsightly.
"Waiting for Prince Chu to co and put on a play with Prince Chu; it would allow Prince Chu to achieve rit and fa, and also secure his own position without being removed from office!" Ye Qichi said coldly, "This is why they’re making such a big fuss about killing Xiao Jinxing now. By killing him, Prince Chu would be able to co to Yuzhou City as a matter of course."
"If that’s really the case, then Chen Hezhi, this corrupt official, is too despicable! He completely disregards the safety of the common people!" Xiao Wu said angrily, "I heard that they’ve already run out of food because the city has been closed off for so long. Even if the people inside aren’t infected with the plague, they’ll starve to death!"
"That’s why we have no choice but to go in," Ye Qichi said bluntly.
"But I’m still worried about the Prince going in. If he really has to go, I would like to go in his stead..."
"Only if I go can Pang Nan be made to obey ," Xiao Jinxing stated clearly.
Xiao Wu was surprised, "Your Highness ans that you want to go in and win over General Pang."
Xiao Jinxing nodded.
"I can sneak into the city and bring General Pang out."
"He may not co out with you," Ye Qichi said bluntly.
"I am also willing to go," Yuan Wenkang volunteered.
"The most sincere approach is for Xiao Jinxing to go in and et Pang Nan," Ye Qichi firmly suggested.
Naturally, both Xiao Wu and Yuan Wenkang disagreed with such a risky plan.
"I’ll go!" Xiao Jinxing made a decisive decision.
"Prince!" Xiao Wu reacted even more strongly.
"Tear a piece off your clothing!" Xiao Jinxing suddenly ordered Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu was confused.
"Hurry up!"
"Yes." Xiao Wu had to do it, albeit with so resentnt, "Your Highness, if you don’t want to hear
talk, you could simply tell
to shut up, why use this thod..."
He thought Xiao Jinxing wanted to gag him with the cloth.
Xiao Jinxing ignored Xiao Wu, took the piece of cloth from him, and then viciously bit open his own fingertip.
"Prince!" Xiao Wu exclaid with emotion.
At that mont, they saw Xiao Jinxing write a blood letter on the cloth, "Yuzhou City is in peril; General Bai, dispatch 500 elite soldiers to secretly follow Yuan Wenkang to Yuzhou for reinforcent. Personally written by Xiao Jinxing."
After writing it,
Xiao Jinxing handed the blood letter to Yuan Wenkang with a serious order, "Now, you go to the border, take it, find General Bai, and dispatch 500 elite soldiers to Yuzhou City for reinforcents."
"Your subordinate obeys," Yuan Wenkang said as he accepted the order.
"The sooner the better!" Xiao Jinxing instructed, "Pang Nan’s military strength is always limited, only with a coordinated inside and outside approach can we ensure no failures."
"This subordinate will do everything possible to complete the mission."
"Set off imdiately."
"Yes." Yuan Wenkang got up from the ground and left straight away.
Such is the imperial command.
No excuses are permitted; just carry it out.
After Yuan Wenkang left, Xiao Jinxing told Xiao Wu, "You think of a way to get into the city tonight to scout the situation inside. Ye Qichi and I will enter the city tomorrow night."
"Your Highness, must you really enter the city yourself?" Xiao Wu was still reluctant.
Xiao Jinxing’s eyes narrowed.
Xiao Wu didn’t dare to say more.
He imdiately said respectfully, "Yes, your subordinate will follow the order."
"Where are your soldiers?" Ye Qichi suddenly asked.
"They’re on guard," Xiao Wu answered, "I guessed you were nearby so I didn’t wait until midnight to co looking for you. Does the Princess need them for sothing? Shall I call them over now?"
"No need, I will go to them myself later to discuss how to get in tomorrow night."
Xiao Wu was skilled in martial arts, and it wouldn’t be difficult for him to sneak into the city, but Ye Qichi and Xiao Jinxing needed to plan more carefully.
"Go in with those who are transporting the corpses," Xiao Jinxing suddenly said.
Ye Qichi paused for a mont, then quickly understood.
"Just now, Xiao Wu said that every midnight there would be people transporting corpses out, are we going to go in with them?!" Ye Qichi asked.
Xiao Jinxing nodded.
"But I do have sothing to ask of them. We need to figure out a way to get them to take care of this baby for us," Ye Qichi glanced at the baby in her arms.
At that mont, Xiao Wu seed to notice for the first ti that the Princess was holding a child.
"Whose child is that?" Xiao Wu was a bit surprised.
"Picked up along the way," Ye Qichi said.
"Just throw it away, then. Why bother?"
"..." As expected of the Prince’s trusted follower, thinking exactly the sa way.
Xiao Wu sensed that the Princess was angry and didn’t dare to say more.
"I’ll go find the soldiers; you stay here with your Master," Ye Qichi said as she left with the baby.
Xiao Wu glanced at the Prince, then at the retreating figure of the Princess.
Xiao Jinxing said indifferently, "Don’t worry about her."
"Yes."
In his mind, he wondered why the Prince would allow the Princess to keep such a burden around.
From what he knew of the Prince, he would never allow irrelevant people to threaten his safety.
Yet he indulged the Princess... The Prince’s feelings for the Princess must not be as cold as he showed.
Having relied on each other in life and death, the feelings between the Prince and Princess might have changed!
