The Fourth Prince strode over to the box, opened it, and his eyes lit up when he saw what was inside.
"Luo'er, isn't this thing in the box an enlarged version of the mechanical bird? Can it really carry people and fly and attack?"
If that were true, they would be able to attack the mountain without any soldiers.
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Yu Yiluo nodded.
"That's right. Rest today. Tomorrow morning you can use the tools we brought and the large mechanical bird you modified to go up."
"So we can do this without having to sacrifice a single soldier," Jin Ting'an laughed. "We were still figuring out how to attack with minimal casualties. Now that we have this, we don't have to worry about the attack anymore."
"Having said that, let's first confirm if there are any innocent people up there."
As soon as Concubine Xian said this, Qian Jue hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we have already figured out the situation up there. Apart from my master, there are no ordinary people up there."
It is not easy for these people to get food up there, so how could they possibly bring the people with them?
"Rescue the Divine Doctor Qian tonight and attack him early tomorrow morning."
"I'm going to rescue people tonight."
The third prince originally wanted to go and rescue people, but after hearing Qian Jue speak, he stopped talking.
Qian Jue led the Li Kingdom's soldiers here this time to save Doctor Qian, so he would not argue with him.
"Okay, cousin, be careful. We'll light some fires at the bottom of the mountain to help you attract the attention of the people up there."
Yu Yiluo smiled slyly, "You haven't made any moves during this period. If these people see anything happening, they will definitely keep a close eye on us."
[After all, they prepared a huge rock to attack us, but it turned out that they couldn't use it at all. Now I'm probably so angry that I want to curse.]
…
Just as Yu Yiluo said.
Lou Qing had ordered people to prepare the big stone for almost half a month, but the people below didn't move at all.
He originally wanted to send people to investigate, but he was worried that these people would cheat and his people would never return.
"Young Master, what on earth are the Tianqi people doing these days? There has been no movement for such a long time. Don't they want to save Qian Zhong and their general?"
The subordinates beside him followed behind Lou Qing and asked in confusion.
"Be patient," Lou Qing said expressionlessly, looking down from the sentry post. "The road is blocked, hindering the reinforcements. They can delay as much as they want. Let's see who dies first."
"Young Master, don't forget, we don't have much food here. Besides, the people who went to destroy the road haven't returned yet. If we fail, once their reinforcements arrive, they won't need to attack us. Once our food is gone, we will be trapped and die up there."
Their food is enough to last for a month at most. If the people of Tianqi are well prepared, they may not be able to survive.
"They don't know we don't have much food," Lou Qing said calmly, "Wait a little longer, wait for that person's letter."
The subordinate understood that he was waiting for Min Qiu's letter, and after hesitating for a moment, he expressed his concerns.
"Young Master, logically the master should have sent a letter. But there hasn't been a letter in such a long time. Could something have happened?"
"He has people protecting him, what could possibly happen?"
Lou Qing glanced at the subordinates beside him, with a hint of displeasure on his face.
"Keep a close eye on the mountain below. If they make any movement, report immediately."
"yes."
"By the way, how's Chizuru doing?"
"That guy must have become suspicious. Now it feels like he's deliberately stalling for time. There's no progress at all."
Qian Zhong, who happened to be coming this way, sneered when he heard this.
"What have I been delaying?"
When the two heard his voice, their expressions changed.
"Why are you gossiping about others behind their backs?"
Qian Zhong ignored the changing expressions of the two men, glared at his subordinates and then looked at Lou Qing, "Prepare some wine for me, I can use it."
Lou Qing didn't respond. Instead, he looked at the two people who were watching Qian Zhong from behind and scolded him, "Why did you let Divine Doctor Qian come in person for this kind of thing? What do you do for a living?"
"Isn't it just that I heard your people say bad things about me? Why are you still unhappy?"
Qian Zhong sighed and turned around, "Remember to send the wine over, I'm going back first."
Lou Qing stared at his departing back, his eyes dark as water.
"Send him some wine."
The two people kneeling on the ground stood up and retreated quickly after hearing this.
"Master, he probably heard it."
Lou Qing sneered, "So what if he heard it? He can't get out now. If he doesn't obey, I'll use some means."
Qian Zhong felt much happier when he learned that Mu Xue had not fallen into the hands of these people.
In the past few days, he learned from the two people who were monitoring him that Tianqi's people had already stationed at the foot of the mountain.
He thought he would be able to get out soon.
So before leaving, we must destroy these people's pharmacies to prevent them from using drugs to harm innocent people again.
While he was thinking, the two people who were monitoring him came over with a few jars of wine. He took the wine and put it aside and continued to fiddle with the medicinal herbs.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual about him, the two men let down their guard and stood aside in a daze.
…
As the sun sets and night falls, fires light up at the foot of the mountain.
The sentry was so shocked when he saw this that he quickly ran to inform Lou Qing's subordinates and asked him to report to Lou Qing.
When Lou Qing heard about this, he followed his subordinates to the sentry post and looked down. The bright fire was particularly conspicuous in the night.
"Young Master, do you think they are ready to take action?"
"If they plan to act at night, that would be really stupid."
They seemed afraid that others would not know that they were about to take action, so they made such a bright fire.
However, without generals and sending some princes with no combat experience, it is normal to make such stupid mistakes.
“Don’t let your guard down. Keep your brothers on the alert and see what they’re going to do.”
The two were talking and did not notice Qian Jue circling above them riding on a mechanical bird.
Qian Jue controlled the direction while looking for Qian Zhong.
The night wind blew his clothes, and the air was filled with the fragrance of wild flowers and a strong smell of medicine.
He curled his lips and controlled the mechanical bird to move towards the direction where the smell of medicine came from.
The man who was watching Qian Zhong at the door yawned, looked up and saw a dark shadow in the night sky, rubbed his eyes, and went to pull the person next to him.
"Look, there's a strange birdman in the sky."
"What strange birdman?"
Another person disagreed, "I think you are just sleepy and blurry."
As he spoke, he looked up, his mouth opened in surprise, and he stuttered, "Really... there is a birdman."
"Call someone, he seems to be getting closer."
Qian Jue smiled at the two men, raised his hand and threw two stones, accurately hitting their sleep acupoints.
Qian Zhong heard the noise and came out, and saw his eldest disciple getting down from the back of a big wooden bird.
"Master, I'm here to rescue you."
"Wait a minute."
Qian Zhong's eyes fell on the two people on the ground, and he ordered Qian Jue to take the two people on the ground to the pharmacy and put them together with Old Chen.
Qian Jue did as he was told and wiped his hands clean. "Is that all right?"
"Wait a moment."
