Chapter 314 Must
After pondering for a moment, Wen Zhiming looked at everyone and said.
"In that case, I will go. The military camp should make a plan first, and when the time comes, troops will be sent to attack each palace gate. The soldiers will be busy dealing with them, and apart from the emperor's secret guards and eunuchs, there should be no one else in the Hall of Diligent Governance. My skills are more than enough to handle it."
Those involved in the operation not only had to traverse the tunnels, but also had to kill the dog emperor in the shortest possible time.
However, too many people cannot go, otherwise, if something goes wrong in the tunnel, they will not be able to reach the Hall of Diligent Governance at all.
Therefore, one must possess superior physical and internal strength, and be a master among masters.
Although many of the martial arts practitioners brought by Ye Guhong were skilled, Wen Zhiming didn't know much about them and couldn't be sure if they could get through the tunnel. The journey was dangerous, and it wasn't good to let everyone risk their lives.
Wen Zhiming was confident in his skills, and since he was the only one accompanying Yue Jiaoman, even if he felt uncomfortable in the tunnel, he could get out in time and wouldn't be blocked by the crowd halfway.
"But that's too dangerous."
Upon hearing that Wen Zhiming had gone alone, Meng Lingge was filled with worry. The soldiers had to deal with the Tiger Flying Army, but the Emperor must still have many secret guards and eunuchs around him.
Those bodyguards must be quite skilled.
Wen Zhiming hadn't slept a wink since they entered the capital; even an iron body couldn't withstand such torment.
Ye Guhong laughed heartily and said to Meng Lingge, "Little girl, it would indeed be dangerous for my disciple to go alone. But how could you forget about this old man? For such an important matter, of course, we, master and disciple, must join forces to be invincible."
“Master, you should still…” Wen Zhiming was about to speak up to stop him and arrange a safe job for Ren Guhong.
"What, you've grown wings now and look down on your master?"
Ye Guhong interrupted him, "Master is indeed the number one martial artist. For such a lively event as storming the Hall of Diligent Governance, no one can be missing except Guhong Lueying. It's settled then. Master will handle the guards for you, and you will go straight for that scoundrel's life!"
Ren Guhong's tone left no room for doubt. Wen Zhiming knew that his master loved to join in the fun. It would have been better if he hadn't known about this, but knowing about it and not letting him go was worse than killing him.
Besides, with his master's help, his chances of winning are indeed greater.
He could only reply, "Master, please don't be reckless. If you feel anything is wrong in the tunnel, tell me immediately so we can get out and think of another way."
Ye Guhong said with great enthusiasm, "Don't worry. Master is most attached to worldly affairs and wouldn't volunteer unless he was absolutely certain. You just need to mind your own business."
After hearing this, Wen Zhiming said no more.
Turning to Yue Jiaoman, he said, "There's no time to lose. I'll trouble Senior Yue to dig the tunnel as soon as possible. As for your junior sister, I'll have your princess take good care of her."
Meng Lingge nodded and said, "The girl beside me has extremely superb medical skills. Lushui, take Miss Yue down to treat her injuries."
Below the tunnel lies Yue Jiaoman's domain. Now that they have a falling out, if she harbors resentment and tampers with things in the tunnel, Wen Zhiming and Ye Guhong will both be in grave danger.
Only by keeping Yue Jiaoluo under control can Yue Jiaoman be prevented from harboring any malicious intentions.
Yue Jiaoman wanted to suggest sending her junior sister out for medical treatment first, but Meng Lingge had already made arrangements. She couldn't refuse, so she could only watch as Lvshui helped Yue Jiaoluo out.
Now that things have come to this, she has no choice but to believe Wen Zhiming and Meng Lingge.
"Thank you, Your Highness and Your Highness. I will take care of it now, and it should be done in about five or six hours. Senior Ye and the King of Northern Frontier can take this time to rest for a while so that they can be in the best condition and have the best strength to deal with it."
Wen Zhiming said, "Thank you for the reminder, senior."
Yue Jiaoman left without further hesitation.
Ye Guhong stretched and said, "I've rested enough and I'm hungry. I'm going out to find something good to eat. I need to be well-fed before I can get back to work. Good disciple, we'll meet again later."
After uttering the last word, he had already reached the courtyard gate.
Meng Lingge said worriedly, "Master wouldn't really go drinking, would he..."
Wen Zhiming smiled softly, "No, Master may seem like a playful old man, but he's very reliable when it matters."
The cold light outside pierced the morning frost, and the autumn wind carried a chill.
The soldiers in the camp had all woken up, but Wen Zhiming could not rest yet. He and Ye Guhong were to use the tunnel to assassinate the emperor, while the Tiger Soaring Army's siege of the palace had to proceed simultaneously.
They also needed to make contact with the people they had previously placed in the palace to coordinate their efforts from the inside out.
We also need to prepare a team of the most skilled soldiers to attack the weakest point in the palace defenses, so that they can rush into the Hall of Diligent Governance as quickly as possible and meet with Wen Zhiming.
This is the only way for Wen Zhiming to successfully take control of the situation.
Wen Zhiming and Meng Lingge convened the generals and discussed matters for more than an hour before arranging everything.
Meng Lingge had her subordinates bring over breakfast, and after watching Wen Zhiming finish eating, she stripped off his outer robe and pushed him onto the bed.
“You haven’t slept all night. There are only three or four hours left until Senior Yue finishes digging the tunnel. You must rest now. I will stay here and wake you up when the time comes.”
Wen Zhiming was both amused and exasperated by Meng Lingge's whole series of actions. "It's rare for my wife to be so proactive. I thought there was some kind of surprise in store..."
"At a time like this, can't you be serious for once?" Meng Lingge tucked him in and said solemnly, "This is the most crucial and dangerous battle. The civil and military officials, the soldiers in the palace, and the people of the world—their future depends on this battle. And me and the child, we only hope you are safe, so you must..."
At this point, Meng Lingge's voice choked up, and she couldn't speak.
Now that things have come to this point, even though she knows that Wen Zhiming's next step is the most dangerous, she can't persuade him to stop.
We can only try our best to get him in the best possible condition so that he can survive safely.
"Don't cry." Wen Zhiming couldn't bear to see Meng Lingge cry, so he immediately pulled her into his arms. "My wife, I said I would protect you for life, and I will definitely do it. I'll rest now, right away. Just don't cry, it hurts my heart so much when you cry."
Meng Lingge leaned against him obediently and responded softly.
Wen Zhiming kissed Meng Lingge's eye, hugged her tighter, and lay down. Meng Lingge struggled slightly, "Let me get up, I have to keep track of the time for you."
"I've already told Ren Yang to wake me up in three hours. I don't want to do anything, I just want to hold you, smell your scent, and I'll fall asleep soon." Wen Zhiming's tone carried a hint of pleading.
Hearing him say that, Meng Lingge obediently lay down in his arms.
He murmured the unfinished sentence to himself.
Stay safe.
