Chapter 338 Tong Rui helps Wan Xingmo
After a while, Wan Quan raised his head and said, "Brother Wan, I told them a fake address. Do you think you can fool them?"
Wan Xingmo shook his head. "Based on the intelligence my people have found, this Tong Rui is extremely smart and acts cautiously. I don't think she would trust you so easily. Otherwise, they would have left us long ago. Why would they stay here all this time?"
"That's also possible. They can't leave now. Beiliang and Daqi are at war. Daqi has restricted trade with Beiliang. It's impossible for their caravans to enter Daqi from here. So they have been wandering here, right? Otherwise, why would they run around in this icy and snowy place? There is no business to do."
Wan Xingmo pondered for a moment and said, "This is also a possibility, but I guess they must have sent people to Nanyang to check the address you mentioned. In half a month at most, everything you said will be proven to be false. By then, you will have no more excuses. By then, Fubao will most likely be taken away by them."
"No, Fubao can't be taken away by them. Brother Wan, you know that Fubao is my grandmother's favorite. If Fubao is taken away, my grandmother will definitely not be able to bear it. Brother Wan, what should we do?"
"We are now trapped in the snowfield. It is impossible to make any arrangements, but we can negotiate with them. Even if they take Fubao back, they may not be able to protect him from being snatched away by the palace. Now there are two ways to choose. First, tell our emperor about Fubao's existence, and the emperor will come forward to protect him. Second, don't tell either side, let Fubao's mother fake her death, escape from the palace, recognize Fubao, and live in Daqi from now on. We can protect Fubao and they can protect Tongyan, but both methods are a bit risky."
Wan Quan thought about Wan Xingmo's words and felt that they were not feasible. However, there was still half a month left. What if the situation changed by then? It would be better not to panic. These were just their speculations. What if the other party did nothing?
"Brother Wan, we still have half a month to make arrangements. As long as I don't tell them where I live, they won't be able to find Xiao Fubao. I want to wait and see. The most important thing now is what Anan just said about the Beiliang camp. Brother Wan, we have lost so many people, I want to give it a try."
Wan Quan said this and looked at Wan Xingmo with a firm look.
"No, with your current physical condition, you will definitely not be able to reach the Beiliang camp, and you might even die on the way. The less unnecessary sacrifices we can make, the better. Besides, I promised you, Grandma Wan, that I would protect you. I've already neglected it once, and I can't make the same mistake a second time."
Wan Xingmo was very determined and did not agree with Wan Quan going to explore Longtan Tiger Cave alone.
There was silence in the snow house for a while, and neither of them spoke.
"General Wan, my wife wants me to tell you two something."
Anan stood at the door of the igloo and shouted loudly inside.
"Come in."
Although Wan Xingmo was very weak, his voice was so clear and cold that people dared not offend him easily.
Anan bent over and walked in, and saw two people, one sitting and the other sleeping, both looking at him.
"Brother Nan, please take a seat. I wonder what the Madam has to say?"
"Our lady is willing to assist you two in completing this mission."
Wan Quan was so excited that he almost jumped up, but his body was really weak, so he only moved his buttocks, but the excitement on his face could not be concealed.
Wan Xingmo calmly asked, "What are your wife's conditions?"
Wan Xingmo's voice showed no emotion, he was calm and reserved, looking at Anan with deep eyes.
Wan Quan also realized at this time that Tong Rui would not help them for no reason.
The excitement he had just felt disappeared at this moment, and he looked at Anan solemnly.
"Since the general is straightforward, I will speak directly. Our wife does not have many conditions. There is only one: after we help you complete the mission, you can take us to Da Qi. To be honest, we don't have much supplies this time. It can only last for half a month, so we must return to Da Qi to replenish supplies within half a month."
Anan also told them about their predicament. There was no need to hide it now as they were now in a situation of living and dying together.
"Deal, that's no problem for me, but how can you be confident that you can help me complete the task?"
"Madam has asked A Lie and I to go investigate. We have also quietly sneaked into the enemy camp and have basically understood the situation inside. Now can you tell me what mission you are going to complete?"
Anan looked at Wan Xingmo with sincerity in his eyes.
"No comment. Our mission is very confidential. You can't just ask about it. I agree to your wife's conditions. After the mission is completed, I will take you to Da Qi. But you just need to cooperate with us. Don't ask about other things you shouldn't know."
Although Anan was a little angry at what Wan Xingmo said, he could understand it, so he nodded and said goodbye.
"Brother Wan, when are we going to take action? I'll be there. With their help, I think our chances of winning should be greater."
"Remember, don't put your hope on others, and don't trust anyone easily. Moreover, they are Vietnamese. We don't know them, so we can't trust them easily. For the time being, we plan to take action in five days. By then, I should be able to move."
"What? You want to go too? No, you are too badly injured. If you continue to be stubborn, you will probably die."
"This is a military order. If you disobey, I will punish you by military law."
Wan Quan turned away angrily, but Wan Xingmo didn't care about him. He was very tired after holding on for so long and soon fell asleep.
After watching Wan Xingmo fall asleep, Wan Quan secretly left the snow house and went to find Grandma Hu.
"Mrs. Hu, I want to ask if you have any knockout drugs or something like that? Drugs that can make people fall asleep temporarily."
Granny Hu looked at Wan Quan strangely. What was this kid planning?
"No, I'm a serious doctor, how could I have drugs? You've got the wrong person."
Wan Quan felt that people like them who often go out would definitely prepare these medicines. Was there something wrong with the way he opened them?
"Mother-in-law, I am really useful. Madam is willing to help us go to Beiliang to complete the mission, but I can't let the general go, so I wonder if he can fall asleep by then?"
Granny Hu paused for a moment before saying, "In that case, this is easy to handle. You don't need to look for drugs. Leave this to me. I will make sure he can sleep for a whole day."
"Thank you, mother-in-law." Wan Quan grinned. As long as the effect can be achieved, it all matters.
Five days later, before dawn, Wan Xingmo got up and put on his clothes, checking whether he had all his equipment. Wan Quan pretended to help him. At this time, Granny Hu brought in two bowls of medicine.
"Before you leave, take this medicine. This medicine is specially made by me and can help you relieve the pain."
Wan Xingmo didn't doubt it. After all, the medicine he had taken from Granny Hu in the past few days was indeed very effective. He just tilted his head back and drank it.
Wan Quan looked a little weak. He glanced at Wan Xingmo secretly, then drank up his medicine bowl in one gulp.
"Thank you, Granny Hu." Wan Xingmo handed the bowl to Granny Hu.
Granny Hu took the call and glanced at Wan Quan. After a silent conversation, she left the snow house.
"Wanquan, what are you dawdling for? Hurry up. I never see you dawdling like this usually. What's wrong with you today? Are you feeling unwell?"
Wan Xingmo was already prepared, but when he saw Wan Quancai had just put on his clothes and was still sorting out his equipment, a hint of displeasure appeared on his face.
"It seems that I have been too lax in my supervision of you during this period. When I come back today, I will give you a good beating."
Wan Xingmo started to walk out, but before he walked out of the snow house, he felt dizzy and fell backwards.
