Chapter 148 Taking the opportunity to cause chaos
"Also, Princess Huo Yaoshi and Lin Pianran haven't appeared in Pingcheng. I wonder if they were separated by the refugees? Or where else have they gone? In short, their current whereabouts are unknown."
"I suspect they must be trying to return to the capital. We must stop them and have our men guard all the roads back to the capital. We can't let them escape easily!"
"Order our men again. Anyone who finds these two women will be handsomely rewarded. If they are released, they will be executed immediately. This must be explained clearly."
"These two women are both very beautiful. They are definitely among the most beautiful women. If I can capture them, they will be of great use to me. I absolutely cannot let them escape..."
One of the men in black asked cautiously, "Your Highness, if our men move too much, will it attract the attention of Emperor Wu of Qin? If the government catches us, it will be of no benefit to us at all!"
"What? Are you scared? Don't worry!"
"Given Emperor Wu of Qin's stubborn and suspicious nature, he would only suspect his own sons and would never suspect me. You should proceed boldly..."
"Now is a golden opportunity to strike! With so many refugees, this is the perfect time for me to take advantage of the situation. Let our people blend in with the refugees and cooperate with the operation."
"I intend to take advantage of this opportunity to secretly expand my power and plot my own plans."
"There are only three things we need to do now: the first is to muddy the waters, the more muddy the better, so that we can fish in troubled waters; the second is to seize the opportunity and leverage the momentum to rapidly expand ourselves and cultivate our own power; the third is to cause conflicts between brothers and fathers, so that they resent each other and kill each other, and then we can reap the benefits!"
"Yes, Your Highness is still more skilled! He has completely fooled these fools."
After hearing this, the bronze masked man laughed triumphantly.
He continued, "Also, send our men to hunt down Prince Chang and Prince Qi with all their might. We'll find them alive or dead. No matter which one we kill, there will be a huge reward!"
"Your Highness, what about Huo Yuchen? Should we kill him as well?"
"Not for now. We need to focus our efforts and not deal with so many people at once. Let's concentrate our firepower on King Chang for now! We must defeat them one by one to achieve ultimate victory."
"Huo Yuchen is out of favor, and the disappearance of Wei Zixing has greatly weakened his strength. He only has the Black Cloud Guard at his disposal, and no other trump cards to play. It's not worth our effort to deal with him."
"Besides, there are so many toxins in his body. No matter how hard he tries to suppress them, he's doomed to die early. This is the outcome God has already arranged!"
"If we can kill him from the poison without bloodshed, without us having to do anything ourselves, wouldn't that be more beneficial to us?"
"Why should we mobilize so many troops and take so much trouble to bring trouble upon ourselves?"
"As expected, Your Highness's analysis is more thorough and his thoughts are more far-reaching!" A man in black flattered actively.
After hearing this, the bronze masked man became even happier and continued to talk.
"As for the Empress Wei in the palace, she's even less worth mentioning. She's gentle, old, and faded, with no favors left. She's nothing more than a decoration, a vase, a paper tiger. A slight poke will break her, so there's no need to take her to heart!"
"Our biggest enemies right now are Prince Chang and Concubine Li and her son. Although Prince Duan is also Concubine Li's son, he is no longer useful and can be ignored for the time being."
"Yes, I understand everything. We just need to wait until tonight. Once all our troops are in place, we can attack Prince Chang and his men at night. Even if they have 2,000 men, they are no match for our 3,000."
"In addition, we have set up an ambush in advance, and we have a large number of archers to cooperate with us. We will definitely be able to kill them without leaving a single piece of armor."
The bronze-masked man stood up happily and clapped his hands. Two beautiful maids came forward with wine jugs and poured a glass of wine for everyone present.
The bronze-masked man raised his glass high and said, "Looking forward to everyone's good news tonight! I wish you all immediate success and a great victory!"
"After we return victorious, I'll celebrate for you!"
Those men in black also raised their glasses high and drank them all.
One of the men in black said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. We will definitely fulfill your mission and serve you wholeheartedly!"
*****
It was getting dark.
Lin Pianran ordered the secret guards to find a temporary resting place.
Their group moved forward slowly.
Suddenly, several ragged people rushed over from the front. Most of them were old people, women and children. They blocked the middle of the road, blocking everyone's way.
One of the old men stepped forward and begged desperately, "Please, everyone, is there any food left? Give us some! We haven't eaten for several days. If we don't eat, we will definitely not survive..."
"Look again, our children, can you bear to watch them starve to death in front of you?"
"Please be kind! Have mercy on us!..."
Lin Pianran stood up and said to the old man, "Sorry! Old man, we don't have much dry food left, so we can't give it to you!"
A child behind the old man shouted, "I clearly saw you give food to others, why don't you give it to us? What's your logic?"
Lin Pianran lied with his eyes open, "We only have a little food left, how could we give it to others? Little friend, did you see it wrong?"
The child pointed at Wang Fanghua behind Lin Pianran and shouted, "I saw it with my own eyes. It was the woman behind you. She just gave Xiao Niu a big pancake."
Wang Fanghua quickly felt around for her package and suddenly burst into tears, "Oh my god! Why is my pancake gone? Did I drop it by accident?"
"Oh my! How can I live like this? This is all I have! Oh my God! Why are you so cruel? How can I live like this?..."
"God, please open your eyes! Save us! ... Wuuwuwu..."
He howled loudly, covered his eyes and cried non-stop.
Watching Wang Fanghua crying and wailing, she performed so hard.
Many people believed it to be true.
