Li Xinzhai lowered his voice and reminded: "Stop sighing, you're disturbing me."
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Almost at the same time when Li Xinzhai was preparing for the surprise attack, Wang Ruo and Mo Yu, who were evacuating from the vicinity of the granary to the outside of the town, also met up with Wang Nianqing who was waiting outside the town in a very short time.
Wang Nianqing saw two vague shadows rushing out of the town one after another. She initially thought they were other people, but when they appeared at the agreed location, they came out of the shadows with a look of shock on their faces. "Why did you come out so quickly? What happened?"
Wang Ruo replied, "We know the exact location of the artillery, but there are experts secretly guarding them, so we can't find an opportunity to attack them."
Wang Nianqing looked at the number of our top masters and frowned slightly: "How many people are there on the other side?"
Wang Ruo continued, "Judging from their aura, there aren't many. I'd estimate only five or six, but they're all very capable."
Wang Nianqing held his forehead and analyzed, "If we're talking about experts, our people are top-notch. However, judging by what you've said so far, they must be masters of internal skills. So, if we want to destroy those cannons, we need to carefully plan and act accordingly."
Mo Yu wasn't good at making plans, so he didn't participate in the discussion, just standing quietly to the side. It wasn't clear if he was listening to them or just daydreaming about life. After a while, as if he suddenly remembered something, he suddenly interrupted, "How's Xinzhai doing?"
Although she didn't like being interrupted, Wang Nianqing remained calm and magnanimous, saying, "I haven't come out since I went in with you guys. There's nothing happening in town right now. They're either still searching for Xie Zhuangshui's residence, or they've found it and are looking for the right time to strike."
Wang Ruo smiled and said, "If you're worried, why don't you go in and take a look? With your skills, you shouldn't alert the people from South Vietnam."
After hearing this, Mo Yu, unusually, stopped asking questions and didn't rush to act on his own. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief and returned to where he was standing just now. He said, "Let's think about how to destroy those cannons first. You guys continue, I'm listening."
Wang Ruo saw this, as if she had witnessed something extraordinary. She said in shock, "What's wrong with this guy today? If we gave him a chance normally, he would have rushed to Li Xinzhai long ago."
Wang Nianqing didn't regard Wang Ruo as an elder either, and said bluntly: "Do you think everyone is like our wife? Everything has its priorities, and urgent matters must be completed first."
Wang Ruo smiled and shook her head, saying, "Okay, okay, okay, you're the only one who can say okay. But, have you ever said this in front of Tang Chen?"
Wang Nianqing shuddered, and the hairs on her body stood up immediately. After clearing her throat with two dry coughs, she hurriedly said, "Ahem, where were we just now..."
Ten days ago, after taking into account the current advantages and disadvantages of Qingliang Valley and comparing it with the current situation of Xie Zhuangshui's South Vietnamese army, Wang Yanzhou and his team came up with a solution that was not really a solution.
In fact, strictly speaking, it should be the suggestion put forward by Tang Chen. Generally speaking, it is very simple and crude, but if it can be achieved, it can indeed fundamentally alleviate the current predicament of Qingliang Valley.
Tang Chen suggested: either destroy those cannons first; or capture the leader first and control Xie Zhuangshui before they leave the town to raid Qingliang Valley; or, carry out the first two ideas at the same time.
After much discussion, they decided to adopt Tang Chen's third plan. After a fair drawing of lots, Mo Yu and Wang Ruo were assigned to the artillery, Li Xinzhai and Hua Wuxin were to "control" Xie Zhuangshui, and Wang Nianqing and his secret guards were to support the four men in front.
Yan Shaoqing originally wanted to come out to get some artillery, but after being caught by Yasi Bu Si, he and Zhong Qin unsurprisingly continued to assist Wang Yanzhou in handling various affairs in the valley.
While Zhong Qin was delivering the official document to Wang Yanzhou for approval, Wang Yanzhou was busy with the work at hand while asking about the recent situation in various places and the status of the group of people who were out on the mission.
"Is there any news from South Vietnam?"
Zhong Qin replied, "Not yet, but everyone has safely arrived at the town where the South Vietnamese army is located during the day. I think they have already taken action."
Wang Yanzhou warned again, "Notify those of us who remain outside the valley to make all necessary preparations for the arrival. Regardless of whether this mission succeeds or fails, we must ensure their safe return."
"clear."
Wang Yanzhou glanced at the man in front of him, who looked just as exhausted as himself, perhaps even more so, and said with a hint of apology, "They've all left. Now it's just you and Shaoqing in the valley. I'll have to trouble you to take care of the palace."
Although Zhong Qin was very tired, she was actually in good spirits and could still smile. "While we're away, Young Master Yan will be in charge of Qingliang Valley. I'm really happy to have some free time. After these two days of work, I'll apply for some rest and recuperation."
Wang Yanzhou smiled and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you. By the way, where are Chen Xin and the others?"
Zhong Qin rubbed her knuckles while saying, "A letter came a few days ago saying they've already taken the official route. Based on the current speed, it should arrive in a few months."
Wang Yanzhou nodded and couldn't help but sigh, "If we can get there before the New Year, that would be the best. I've never had such a busy New Year's Eve before."
Zhong Qin also sighed, "Yes, it's almost Chinese New Year again. They say auspicious snow means a good harvest, and the plum blossoms in Meiwu are already in bloom. But this year, there's no snow yet."
…Everyone in the valley was doing what they could to deal with the South Vietnamese, while Tang Chen, who offered simple and crude opinions, could only spend the whole day in the secluded and peaceful world of the palace. To be honest, she was a person who loved pleasure, but this kind of "compromise" was completely different from the kind of comfort she wanted.
Apart from staying in the palace to take care of her pregnancy, Tang Chen couldn't help anyone else. This was what was bothering her the most at the moment. Tang Chen had originally thought about chatting with A Yuan, expressing her feelings to her and exchanging ideas. But seeing her cute and innocent look, she couldn't bring herself to bring it up.
The weather has been getting colder recently, but A Yuan has noticed that Tang Chen likes to go out and stroll in the yard more and more. She can't help but remind him, "Madam, the weather is getting colder now. Why don't we go out less often? What if we get cold?"
