Both of these strategies are feasible.
However, He Yunxiao's only concern was Li Xiangjun.
The first plan, waiting for Li Xiangjun to rescue the person, essentially puts the success or failure of the rescue in Li Xiangjun's hands.
The second plan, which involved Li Xiangjun providing cover after the rescue, essentially meant entrusting his own life to Li Xiangjun. Whether he could be caught by the Yan army after the rescue depended entirely on Li Xiangjun's decision.
However, He Yunxiao thought for a moment, if Li Xiangjun wanted to arrest someone, why didn't she do it now? Why didn't she do it while they were having barbecue on the "grassland"? Why go through all this trouble, waiting until he rescued Sister Jiang's mother first before she made her move?
In other words, if Li Xiangjun doesn't know her true identity is "He Yunxiao," what's the point of her trying to capture "Zhang Lingshan"?
From a self-interest perspective, Li Xiangjun had absolutely no reason to help him save people or to trick him into saving people and then arresting him.
At least He Yunxiao couldn't figure it out. So Li Xiangjun helping him save his mother-in-law was probably out of so-called "kindness".
He Yunxiao looked down at Xiaoxiao, then at Li Xiangjun.
No matter what, she still had Xiaoxiao as her trump card. No matter how many tricks and schemes Li Xiangjun used, Xiaoxiao could always overcome them with her strength.
At worst, after saving people, we can let Ma De quickly take Nan Zhu and his mother-in-law away first, while I and Xiao Xiao capture Yan Huang to cover our retreat.
If what Li Xiangjun said is true, and it was her grandfather Li Wanshi who kidnapped Sister Jiang's parents, then Li Xiangjun had no motive to harm him. Instead, he could use the rescue to test Li Xiangjun's character.
Currently, the personality displayed by the female lead, Li Xiangjun, is completely different from the personality described by the system.
When He Yunxiao first transmigrated, he would have had complete faith in the system. But now, no one knows better than He Yunxiao what level this damn system is at.
Not to mention that Chu Xiaoxiao's affection level has always been off, even when Nanzhu used her skill "Unbreakable Bond" on Chu Xiaoxiao, it still failed to activate! Furthermore, Ruobao's "Mutual Fortune and Misfortune" couldn't detect the Soul-Devouring Pill. Mengbao's "Hundred Poisons Protecting the Heart Pill" also couldn't kill the Soul-Devouring Pill.
You don't know until you think about it, and once you do, you realize this system has a ton of bugs.
He Yunxiao then checked Li Xiangjun's favorability rating.
It has been stuck at 10 since yesterday and hasn't moved at all.
Back then, Mengbao's favorability rating, which was also at the "extremely difficult" level with Li Xiangjun, would have fluctuated. But Li Xiangjun's favorability rating, like Chu Xiaoxiao's, just stayed stuck.
Speaking of which...
He Yunxiao's thoughts suddenly wandered.
If Mengbao and Li Xiangjun are twin sisters, who is the older sister and who is the younger sister?
Li Qingmeng, Li Xiangjun...
He Yunxiao suddenly remembered a poem:
Inscription on Qingcao Lake in Longyang County
The west wind ages the waves of Dongting Lake, and overnight, the Xiang River Goddess's hair turns white.
Drunk, I was unaware that the sky was reflected in the water; my boat was filled with dreams that pressed down on the Milky Way.
He Yunxiao smiled knowingly. Following the usual formula of novels, "Xiangjun" comes first, so Li Xiangjun is definitely Mengbao's older sister.
As for whether it is true or not, we'll have to wait until we return to Yinjing and ask the Empress Dowager.
However, you can try "Full Boat of Dreams" if you have time. It's just that it's getting cold now, and there's no air conditioning in the palace, so it's inconvenient to practice many martial arts moves without being covered by blankets.
...
Li Xiangjun offered He Yunxiao two suggestions.
One option is to wait for her to rescue the person. The other is to forcefully rescue the person, while she covers his retreat.
In fact, Li Xiangjun has already made corresponding preparations regardless of which option He Yunxiao chooses.
The former was a delaying tactic, keeping He Yunxiao in Jingtian a little longer; the latter was a risky move, forcing He Yunxiao to rescue someone, and then, in the midst of the crisis, disarming him of his last remaining suspicion. It wasn't enough to completely gain his trust; his words needed to have a significant impact on him.
Jiang Wuyou's assassination of Xiaoyue has been accomplished. Her parents are no longer of any use to me. What harm would it do to hand them over to He Yunxiao? Sending Jiang Wuyou to the palace is the Jiang family's business, and has nothing to do with me.
On the contrary, it's this He Yunxiao...
Li Xiangjun couldn't understand how He Yunxiao knew the exact location of the border map. Knowing the map was in her possession wasn't difficult, but how did she know it was hidden in that cabinet?
The exact location of this border defense map is known only to Heaven, Earth, and He Yunxiao himself. Unless He Yunxiao possesses divination and prophecy abilities, there is absolutely no way he could know where the border defense map is.
He Yunxiao had something to think about, and so did Li Xiangjun.
It wasn't until they were almost at Guanyun Tower that Li Xiangjun finally spoke, asking, "Young Master Zhang, have you made up your mind? Should I go and ask for the person, or..."
He Yunxiao said, "Please wait a moment, young lady." Then he lifted the carriage curtain and asked Ma Dekuai, "Old Ma, how long will it take you to get out of the city from Guanyun Tower?"
Ma Dekuai said very professionally, "It takes a quarter of an hour to get out of the North Gate and two and a half quarters to get out of the South Gate."
Li Xiangjun was slightly startled upon hearing Ma Dekuai's words. Given the size of Jingtian City, it would take three-quarters of an hour to ride a horse from north to south—and that was at full gallop, not a carriage. Moreover, there were people on the street, making full speed impossible. Yet this coachman dared to boast so confidently. If he wasn't exaggerating, it could only mean he was an exceptionally skilled rider.
He Yunxiao received Ma Dekuai's letter and carefully calculated the possible speed of the Yan army's deployment. Then he said, "Miss Li, you will cover for us. After we finish robbing people, we will leave the city through the north gate and head east to Weiguo. You can have the Yan army chase us south."
Li Xiangjun nodded.
After agreeing on their strategy, He Yunxiao didn't waste any time. After asking Li Xiangjun about the Yan army's deployment at Guanyun Tower, he decisively said to Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, you stay in the carriage to protect Nanzhu. I'll go into the tower to rescue people. Miss Li said there are no ninth-rank martial artists in Guanyun Tower, so I'm enough on my own."
