Chapter 219: The Deposed Crown Prince is Captured Alive
Ye Chutang took the letter from Nan Xiao.
When she saw that the person behind the scenes was the deposed crown prince, she was not surprised at all.
"The whole family of the dog emperor, from the old to the young, is rotten!"
After cursing, she asked, "Did Nan Xiao catch Zhao Chengyu?"
Qi Yanzhou shook his head. "No, Zhao Chengyu is very cautious and is hiding in the military base in Bingzhou. It is difficult to get close to him. We can only find a way to lure him out."
The idea is good, but it is difficult to implement.
Because the garrisons in Bingzhou and Dingzhou were both staunch royalists.
Ye Chutang returned the letter to Qi Yanzhou, "Have you thought of a solution?"
"After nightfall, they broke in and robbed people."
Qi Yanzhou's men are highly skilled in martial arts, so as long as they can find a way to delay the garrison, it will not be difficult to capture the people.
"If you do this, the commotion will be too big, and it will be difficult for your people to escape unscathed. There will be casualties."
It's not worth sacrificing subordinates because of the dog emperor's family!
"Atang, do you have any other ideas?"
Qi Yanzhou knew that Ye Chutang could let the "ghost thief" capture Zhao Chengyu alive.
But he wouldn't bring it up so as not to embarrass her.
Ye Chutang smiled and said, "It's very simple. Let the subordinate with the best Qinggong skills carry a mouse and pretend to be infected with the disease. Then he will appear in front of Zhao Chengyu and tell him that if he burns the city, he will also die."
In fact, she could also send the "ghost thief" to the military base and kidnap the deposed prince.
This is safer and has better results.
But she is now the center of everyone's attention and it is impossible for her to disappear without anyone noticing.
Sun Chu, who came back with the food, heard what Ye Chutang said.
After he handed the dish to Aunt Xu, he volunteered.
"My body is almost well now, let me go."
Qi Yanzhou refused, "No, my people..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Sun Chu.
"Only those who have escaped from Dayang Town can scare Zhao Chengyu."
Ye Chutang nodded in agreement, "That's true, but do you know Zhao Chengyu?"
“I don’t know him, but I know that the most heavily guarded place is where Zhao Chengyu is.”
After Sun Chu finished speaking, he looked at Qi Yanzhou.
"Mr. Qi, please help me to play a trick and have your subordinates give me a fast horse."
Qi Yanzhou did not agree to Sun Chu's request and reminded him, "Dayang Town is nearly fifty miles away from the garrison near Lai County. In your current physical condition, can you ride a fast horse for such a long time?"
Sun Chu's injury was in his shoulder blade, and when he pulled the reins he had to use force with his arms, which would pull on the wound.
"Of course, it's just a minor injury, no problem."
As he said this, he looked at Ye Chutang.
"Don't worry, I value my life very much and will never run away."
Ye Chutang stood up, took out a silver needle, and gave Sun Chu a few injections on the wound.
"These stitches will reduce the blood flow to your wound."
After saying that, she rummaged through the bag containing medicine and took out a bottle of external medicine from the space.
"This ointment can soften the blood scab and prevent the wound from cracking. Apply it."
Sun Chu widened his eyes and looked at Ye Chutang accusingly.
"Such a good thing, why didn't you take it out earlier?"
"Softening the blood scab will slow down its shedding. Do you think that's okay?"
"Of course it's not good at all!"
Sun Chu waited for Ye Chutang to take out the silver needle, then went into the inner hall, took off his clothes and applied the ointment.
"I will leave Dayang Town first and pretend to leave to attract the attention of those soldiers."
After Qi Yanzhou finished speaking, he put down his belongings and left the pharmacy.
When Sun Chu came out after applying the medicine, he could already hear the shouts of the soldiers outside the town joining forces to deal with Qi Yanzhou.
"Shoot arrows to the east, don't let him get away!"
Hearing this, Sun Chu took the token handed to him by Ye Chutang and left from the west side of the town gate.
Half of the troops were on Qi Yanzhou. He easily dealt with the soldiers who attacked him and left with his light feet.
After he walked far enough towards where Nan Xiao was, he shouted, "Come out!"
Nan Xiao had been following the exile team closely, so he naturally knew Sun Chu.
He immediately came out of the jungle.
Sun Chu handed Qi Yanzhou's token to Nan Xiao.
"Give me the best horse. I will go to the Bingzhou garrison and capture the deposed prince."
As he said this, a wicked smile appeared on his face, with excitement on his face.
Since you can’t avoid family, country, the world, and power struggles, just get involved and enjoy the process!
Nan Xiao led a Ferghana horse out of the dense forest and handed the reins to Sun Chu.
Sun Chu jumped onto the horse swiftly.
"drive!"
The sound of horse hooves rang out, raising a cloud of dust, and the man and horse disappeared into the night.
Today is the eighth day of the first lunar month. The light of the crescent moon is dim, barely illuminating the white dirt road.
Sun Chu was a martial arts expert, had excellent eyesight, and was familiar with the route, so he rushed all the way to the Bingzhou army's base.
The Arabian horse ran fast and reached Lai County in just quarters of an hour.
It just so happened that the yamen runners were carrying two unconscious beggars into the city.
Because there was an "epidemic" in Dayang Town, the nearby Lai County was under martial law, with people allowed to leave but not enter.
Sun Chu looked at the situation and knew that there must be something fishy going on with the bailiffs bringing beggars into the city.
But he had more important things to do, so he did not follow to find out what was going on. Instead, he turned his horse around and bypassed Lai County to go to the Bingzhou army's base.
The official guarding the city saw Sun Chu on horseback and shouted, "There is a plague in Dayang Town. Lai County may be affected. If you don't want to be infected, leave quickly!"
The official said this in order to use passers-by to spread the news of the epidemic and pave the way for burning Dayang Town.
"Got it, thanks for letting me know!"
Sun Chu said this and left quickly.
Passing by a cornfield that was wilting due to lack of water, he dismounted and caught a vole.
A quarter of an hour later, he arrived near the Bingzhou army's base and dismounted.
The area around the station was bare and looked white under the silver light of the moon.
There were people watching in the watchtower, so no one could approach the base quietly without being discovered.
Unless, there is no moonlight!
Sun Chu originally wanted to wait until midnight, when the moon had set, before taking action.
As it turned out, the weather was favorable and a dark cloud came and blocked the moon.
He took the opportunity to enter the camp, found the most heavily guarded tent, and waited for the opportunity.
Soon, someone opened the curtain of the tent and came out.
Sun Chu took the opportunity to throw the dead vole in.
Zhao Chengyu's panicked voice sounded, "Someone, throw the rat out!"
The soldiers guarding the tent were attracted by the shouting.
Sun Chu immediately flashed into the tent and grabbed Zhao Chengyu's neck.
