The veteran will decide the outcome
After leaving Anhua Gate, Liu Buqi boarded a horse-drawn carriage that was transporting goods from the villages and towns outside the city into the city and back, and headed directly to the Royal Guard Camp stationed outside.
Fortunately, Liu Feiyu grew up in Liujiazhuang outside the city, and Liu Buqi, who inherited her memory, was naturally familiar with the nearby towns. The owner of this car was a loyal and honest elder, and he did not doubt her identity.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped not far from the military camp. He took out some silver and handed it to the old man. After he thanked him profusely, Liu Buqi rushed all the way to the military camp.
At this time, Wang Sheng and Xiao Junzi were leading the team in the camp. After rushing into the central military tent, Liu Buqi started to arrange the tasks directly!
"Wang Sheng, immediately order the Royal Guards to set up camp and prepare to return to Youzhou..."
"Little Army, take a banner of soldiers and horses, equip each with two horses, prepare food, and immediately escort me back to Youzhou!"
After arranging the tasks in a hurry, Liu Buqi finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wang Sheng and Xiao Junzi go down to make the arrangements separately.
Judging from the current situation, the prince and the emperor have not yet reached a consensus. As long as I am fast enough, I should be able to return to Youzhou smoothly.
After a while, the noise outside the camp gradually became louder, and Xiao Junzi and Wang Sheng also returned to the central army to report.
Liu Buqi, who had already changed into light clothes, grabbed the remaining steamed buns and dried meat on the table and put them away, preparing to leave the barracks.
After careful consideration, he turned around and carefully explained Wang Sheng's task.
"Lead your troops north. Until you reach the river, you must pretend to be on your way. If anyone tries to stop you, kill them if you have fewer men. If they have more men, don't resist. Just follow their instructions!"
"If everything goes smoothly and you reach Dahe, you'll need to split up into smaller groups, disguise yourself, and then return to the capital. Go to Desheng Tower and find the owner. I'll arrange for someone to pick you up there!"
He took a somewhat suppressed breath, and with gradually colder eyes, he stared at Wang Sheng and continued:
"Your team is the only force we have in the capital. Although we are small, we are all elite cavalrymen who have fought in many battles. As long as it is not a head-on siege in the capital, we can defeat ten of them with one."
"I leave the Marquis's safety to you, Wang Sheng! If..."
It seemed difficult to make up his mind. Liu Buqi hesitated for a moment before speaking more firmly!
"If something happens suddenly, you won't be able to help the Marquis escape! Remember, in an emergency, you can use your discretion! Set fire to the East and West Markets in the capital! Then, take advantage of the chaos to abduct the Marquis and escape!"
Wang Sheng stared at the woman in front of him in a daze. The East and West Markets had stood for a century, attracting thousands of merchants and prospering immensely! If Youzhou set fire to the markets, it would be hard to say how many people would be killed or injured, and how much property would be destroyed!
Take this act of breaking the law, for example. It is equivalent to touching the purse of Taiyue Dynasty and destroying the foundation of Taiyue Dynasty. It is a real act of burning the boats!
Liu Buqi just kept his eyes on Wang Sheng. There was really no one else available in the capital right now! Zhang Xiruo had already lost face and it was impossible for him to command the guards again.
Xiao Junzi is a rough and aggressive man. Although he will definitely fight to the death to carry out orders, it is really too much to ask him to hide in the capital city in a low-key manner and adapt to the situation and do something!
Only Wang Sheng, Wang Changling’s adopted son, is the most suitable candidate at the moment!
Wang Sheng sighed slightly. His adoptive father was completely devoted to the Marquis and had been extremely kind to him. He should just consider the eternal infamy he bore as his way of repaying his father's kindness!
Without a moment's hesitation, he resolutely bowed and accepted the order. "Wang Sheng will follow Madam's instructions and will do as you say!"
Liu Buqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to apologize. Wang Sheng was at a loss and hurriedly dodged!
"General Wang, you shouldered this heavy burden. I would like to express my gratitude here in advance!"
After saying that, he stood up, turned around and left the barracks. Under the protection of the soldiers, he galloped towards Youzhou at full speed!
…
It’s been a dusty journey, and it’s hard to keep changing horses!
In just seven days, Liu Buqi had already rushed to the border of Jinan Prefecture! Here, she had to visit someone first.
Lu Ren, the former head of the Lu family and now the one who stays behind in the Lu family’s assets in Jinan Prefecture!
Along the way, Liu Buqi was constantly thinking about the gains and losses before and after this trip to the capital!
Even with advanced thinking, it is difficult to offset the disadvantage of being unfamiliar with the customs and culture of Taiyue!
Yue Lingxi has been staying in the deep mansion of the Duke's Mansion since he was a child. Although he has been taught and assisted by people like Nanny Bai who have insight into the world, he has mostly heard about the people and things in the court of the capital, but has no personal experience!
Along the way, the victory after victory has made me look down on all the heroes in the world!
Before entering the capital, he was even more blindly confident. He only considered the actions of Crown Prince Yue Chengqiu and did not think about the issue of other forces intervening at all!
One wrong move and you’ll be completely passive!
They really need a mature and steady leader around them!
A thoughtful person with insight into human nature and who can express different opinions at critical moments;
The most important thing is that this person must be important enough to influence his and Yue Lingxi's judgment!
In the entire Youzhou, probably only Gao Yi and Wang Changling meet such conditions!
But Gao Yi was just a simple military commander, neither knowledgeable nor willing to get involved in government affairs! Wang Changling was Yue Lingxi's mainstay in Youzhou, so at least in the short term, he couldn't be allowed to leave Youzhou rashly!
After much deliberation, Lu Ren appeared in Liu Buqi's sight! Although there had been many unpleasant things before! But Lu Ren was first and foremost a person who could give up everything for the Lu family!
After the Lu family moved to Tai'an, they took sole control of the power of the prefecture and developed extremely rapidly. Looking around the world, they were the only ones like them!
In order to keep this achievement, the Lu family can only tie themselves tightly to Yue Lingxi!
Previously, due to the rapid expansion of Yue Lingxi's power, Yue Wuji had to temporarily suspend all actions against the Lu family!
Lu Ren, who had originally stayed in Jinan and was ready to deal with Guannei Hou's counterattack at any time, has now officially entered the stage of enjoying his retirement!
His experience, knowledge and understanding of the imperial bureaucracy are currently unmatched in Youzhou!
Therefore, Liu Buqi would rather give up the opportunity to enter Youzhou as soon as possible and must visit Lu Ren first!
After the Lu family moved, the Lu Ren and Lu Li families still lived in the old house of the Lu Mansion.
Upon hearing that Liu Buqi was coming, the two went out to greet her early. The Liu Buqi now was no longer the concubine who entered the mansion through the side door!
The two of them were also very familiar with the name and abilities of "Youzhou Spirit Fox"!
Liu Buqi, who was exhausted and looked haggard, followed the two men into Lu's mansion with eyes full of fighting spirit and confidence.
The host and guest sat down and after drinking three or four cups of tea in succession, Lu Ren handed his teacup to Liu Buqi and looked at each other with Lu Li.
What big deal is this?
…
After taking a breath, Liu Buqi went straight to the point and repeated his experience in the court to Lu Ren, and also revealed his and Yue Lingxi's ideas and preparations.
After hearing this, Lu Ren chuckled and said, "There's nothing wrong with your thinking and approach, but the direction is wrong!"
He even asked a question that left Liu Buqi confused!
"Do you know why Yue Chengqiu, who clearly inherited his father Yue Beiqiu's legacy and should be called the Crown Prince, is being hailed as the Regent Prince?"
