Chapter 147 From now on, I will fight for you
After finding out what happened in Changnanying, Deng Youning rushed back to Taoxi Mountain overnight.
On the way back, she always felt that the process of finding out the truth about the arson was a little too simple, even a little bit wrong, as if someone had already laid the clues and was waiting for her to find them.
And Miss Qi, she directly said what her sister had done without any concealment. I'm afraid they are not real sisters but pure enemies, right?
For all these things, Deng Youning could only ask the secret guards of Wanshe Valley to help him keep an eye on Manager Jin.
Yinhuan stared at Han Shaoxi in Beijing.
She left the Bamboo Leaf Green here for the shopkeeper Jin.
When we returned to the Huayan Military Camp in Taoxi Mountain, Han Qiongyue and Deng Yan'an were already there.
Upon learning that Deng Youning had gone to Changnan Town alone, Han Qiongyue no longer had the energy to focus on her.
Huayan Army Council Hall.
"General, why don't you report this to the Emperor and ask His Majesty to send troops to encircle and suppress the Canglong Guards and get the lacquer back."
At this time, everyone was discussing how to recover the lacquer that was stolen by the Canglong Guards.
A female general expressed her opinion.
"Absolutely not! If this matter is reported to the court, they will think that our Huayan Army is useless and can't even protect our own things. Then it will give those men in the court a chance to impeach us!"
Without waiting for Han Qiongyue to refuse, Lieutenant General Tao was the first to disagree.
Han Qiongyue nodded in confirmation, "Yes, what Deputy General Tao said is exactly what this general has in mind."
Since arriving at the military camp, Han Qiongyue has changed the way he refers to himself from "old man" in the mansion to "this general".
Her whole face was radiant, and she sat up straight with her back straight.
It seems that there has never been any trace of time on her, and she is still the vigorous and energetic female general.
If she easily bowed to the men in the court, her original intention of establishing the Huayan Army with so much hardship would be lost.
"We can't possibly rob them openly, so why not trick them out?"
Deng Yan'an spoke up and told us his solution.
It was very simple. He would lead the people from Qianji Pavilion to catch up with Jun Wenci and the others on horseback.
While they were staying in an inn or hostel, they would find the location of the stone paint, stun the guards, and secretly transport it out.
"no!"
As soon as he came up with the plan, Han Qiongyue directly rejected it.
"It's too dangerous. Do you think the Canglong Guards are something that people like you can deal with?"
"The reason why they are Dongji's last trump card is because every soldier in the Canglong Guard has the ability to fight ten people at once."
"I'm afraid you guys will be caught by them before you can even light the incense."
Han Qiongyue was also afraid that something might happen to Deng Yan'an.
Like Deng Youning, he had only just returned to his ancestral home and was living a peaceful life for a few days.
What's more, the Deng family has already dwindled in number and can no longer afford for any one of them to get into trouble.
"Besides risking your life, do you have any other options?"
Han Qiongyue asked loudly.
Now is the time when they need to brainstorm.
However, if you want to get the lacquer back without seeking external help and without losing your own people, you must have the guidance of an immortal!
"Report——"
"General, the county lady is back."
Just when everyone was at a loss, a female soldier came in and reported that Deng Youning had returned.
She had just finished reporting when she heard the sound of horses neighing outside the door.
Deng Youning's figure quickly appeared in everyone's sight.
"Ningning pays respects to grandma."
Deng Youning stepped forward and bowed during the march.
You have to salute in the military.
"What did you find out when you went to Changnan?"
Han Qiongyue also decided to change her mind and ask about the situation in Changnan.
Deng Youning didn't say anything, just said: "We found out that Aunt Han was poisoned before she was burned to death."
Upon hearing the news, there was only a hint of helplessness on Han Qiongyue's face, and she was not as surprised as Deng Youning had imagined.
It seemed that she knew the result early on...
"Your aunt's matter cannot be rushed. Let's first think about how to recover the lacquer."
"If Jun Wenci brings those hundreds of kilograms of lacquer to Qingzhou, the entire Qingzhou will be destroyed!"
Han Qiongyue sighed with a headache.
I just changed the subject, and now I'm bringing it back.
You really don't know what to say!
"I wonder if you have any good suggestions on this?"
Deng Youning seemed to have already had a plan to deal with the situation, otherwise she would not have been so calm when Deputy General Tao asked her last night.
"If you have an idea, tell me now."
"None of their ideas will work!"
"This general has to make it clear in advance that we are not allowed to ask for help from the imperial court or the Deng family army or the Han family army, and we must not allow our people to suffer too many losses."
"We must come up with a foolproof plan to have the best of both worlds."
At present, it will take at least a month for Jun Wenci and his party to arrive in Qingzhou.
Han Qiongyue thought that if there was really no better solution, she could then adopt their methods that involved more sacrifices.
After hearing the conditions, Deng Youning gave Han Qiongyue a cautious smile.
Deputy General Tao and Deng Yan'an also looked at her curiously.
"Aunt Tao, do you have a sand table of the topography near Shengzhou?"
Although he didn't know what new tricks Deng Youning would play, Lieutenant General Tao still found it for her.
A moment later, several strong female soldiers came in carrying a sand table.
Deng Youning asked everyone to gather around, studied the terrain carefully, took a small red flag, and stuck it on a not-so-high cliff.
"This place is where the prince and his men must pass through, and the terrain here is extremely narrow, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack."
"Since we can't get the lacquer back, we might as well destroy it directly so that the prince and his men won't have to think about it anymore!"
She raised her eyelids lightly, with a nonchalant look, as if she was playing a very simple game.
Based on just these two sentences she said, even Han Qiongyue couldn't guess what she was going to do.
"Are you planning to ambush them here and destroy the stone paint?"
“But after the stone paint explosion, it was difficult for our people to evacuate quickly.”
Han Qiongyue had to explain to her the power of stone lacquer.
Deng Youning shook her head at her.
"I do intend to wait for them here, but not in ambush."
She deliberately kept everyone in suspense and whetted everyone's appetite before she slowly spoke.
"Cousin, the cannon that you sent to His Majesty from Qianji Mountain Villa was transported here without anyone noticing."
"We have to hurry. We have to set up an ambush before the Crown Prince and the Canglong Guards arrive."
"When they pass by here, aim the gunpowder of the car gun at the jar of varnish."
"After the explosion, our people were on the cliff. It was not difficult to retreat and escape."
"Moreover, this trip can also help the Han family army get rid of some of the Canglong Guards. If the two armies really start fighting, it will prevent the gap in strength between them from being too big."
Deng Youning's plan really kills two birds with one stone!
When Deng Youning mentioned the car-type cannon, the female generals of Huayan Army became very interested in it.
Han Qiongyue was worried that the thing was too heavy and would be inconvenient to travel.
Deng Yanan said, "Don't worry, grandma. I can bring some parts over and assemble them now!"
Deng Youning also immediately looked at him with admiration.
Their Qianji Villa is comparable to a treasure house. Both people and objects are rare treasures.
She herself also needs to grow up and take over the Huayan Army as soon as possible.
"Grandma, you are old and it is not easy for you to travel around. This time, let your granddaughter go for you!"
"A few months ago, you gave me this military ring. From now on, I will fight for you in everything related to the Huayan Army!"
