C540 He Had Seen Through the Clever Trick and Rebelled and He Would Go in the Opposite Direction
"But, big brother, if we still go up the mountain. . . Doesn't that mean we will do as they wish? Won't we be completely trapped by their trap? " Zhao Yongjun asked in confusion.
"Hehe, this is called knowing that there are tigers in the mountains that walk towards the tiger. Tell me, how can we retreat if we don't go up? At this moment, there should be troops waiting for us down there. As long as we go down, we will die immediately. If we think about it from another perspective, with this matter. . . This might increase the possibility of our assassination succeeding. It's just that it has become quite dangerous. " Nie Xiong said with a smile.
"What does big brother mean? Increase the success rate of the assassination! We have already been exposed, how are we going to carry out the assassination? "
" At this moment, the signal flare has sounded. Not only have we seen it, but all the people in Luochen Mountain have also seen it. What do you think is their first thought? "
"Of course it's to retreat. They will definitely think that we will retreat immediately once we know about it. " Zhao Yongjun said without thinking.
"Very good. You are right. Everyone's first reaction is to retreat. This is also the key to increase the possibility of assassination. When they think that we will retreat, we will go the opposite way. If we continue to charge towards the mountain, we will catch him unprepared. "
"Hahaha, Big Brother is Big Brother. Alright, it's already like this anyway. Let's fight it out with him. If we move faster, if we can really catch the Emperor, perhaps we might still have a chance of escaping. " Thinking of this, Zhao Yongjun said as he shook the weapon in his hand.
"Hehe, things are not as pessimistic as you think. Don't be disheartened, everyone. I only said that it will be very dangerous. I'm not saying that I can't go out. I have already studied the map of the Luochen Mountain in the Imperial Palace. If my guess is correct. . . There is a cliff that is not very high from the small path to the north. As long as there is a rope, we can go down. I think there shouldn't be any hidden troops there. I have already brought the rope. In case of an emergency, I didn't think that it would be used so quickly. The ten of you, clean up that way as fast as you can and clear a path straight to the cliff. After that, put the rope down and wait for us there. " As he spoke, he took out a rope from his bosom and handed it to his subordinates.
"Yes, this subordinate will do it right away" After saying that, these people took the rope and cupped their hands. After saying that, they began to clean up the small path.
"En, remember, the cleared path must be covered up properly. Don't be discovered by others. Everyone, remember this place well. Later, we'll break out of the encirclement and reach this place. Then, we'll follow the small path they opened up and escape. "
"Yes, your subordinate will do as you bid. " After saying that, everyone cupped their fists.
"Hahaha, Big Brother is still the best. He actually thought of a way out. This little brother admires you. " Zhao Yongjun laughed happily when he heard that.
"Hehe, this is called taking precautions. Hehe, alright. It's getting late, let's continue on our journey. Since we've been discovered, let's hurry up. I think it won't take long. The soldiers below will catch up. " After saying that, Nie Xiong took the lead and walked up the mountain. Since they had been discovered. . . He no longer needed to be as cautious as before, so he took big steps and sped up the mountain. The others also followed closely behind.
At this moment, Qu Jinpeng was extremely vexed. There was a device in this place that was obviously left behind by the World's Tyrant Manor. At this moment, the device had already been triggered, and the signal flare had already risen into the sky. It would surely alarm them. If they let this device escape. . . It would be a disaster for them.
"You, immediately inform the brothers at the foot of the mountain. Gather your attention and watch carefully. Don't let anyone leave this mountain. Light up the torches to illuminate this place. If anyone runs away, I'll chop off their heads. " Qu Jinpeng looked at a messenger beside him and said.
"Yes, I will go now. " After saying that, he cupped his hands and turned to leave.
"Wait a moment. Inform all the troops in the surrounding city that the target is outside the encirclement. No one is allowed to trespass. Those who disobey will be killed. Also, pass on my order. Immediately pull out the stronghold and move forward seven miles, shorten the encirclement and enter a state of battle to defend to the death. "
Since they had already been alerted, they could only try their best to make up for it. Even if they couldn't be killed, at least they couldn't be allowed to return to Shuntian Prefecture. Otherwise, all of their elaborate plans would go to waste. At that time, it wouldn't just be a simple failure of their plan. They might even lose the lives of many civilians in Shuntian Prefecture.
"Yes, your subordinate will go and instruct them now. " After saying that, the messenger turned around and left the mountain.
"The others, hurry up and climb the mountain. We must force them to the top of the mountain. Don't let them escape. " Qu Jinpeng looked at the rest of the people around him and quickly walked up the mountain.
At the same time, the signal flare alarmed Tianyu and the others on the top of the mountain. When they heard the sound, they all ran out.
"What's going on?!" Loong Yun looked at the beautiful fireworks blooming in the sky with a face full of doubt.
"Hehe, this Nie Xiong is really hard to deal with. It seems like our plan has been exposed. " Looking at the fireworks in the sky, Tianyu shook his head helplessly.
"It has been exposed! You said this was done by Nie Xiong and the others? That's not right. Didn't they expose themselves by doing this? How could our plan have been exposed? " Yaner asked curiously from the side.
"This must have been done by Nie Xiong, but the one who triggered the signal flare must be one of us. " Yexue said while looking at the fireworks in the sky.
"Our people?"
"Yes, it must be Nie Xiong and the others who set up a small device on the road. As long as the later people are not careful, it can be triggered. General Qu and his people must have encountered this device when they were on the mountain. That's why the signal bomb was triggered. " Yexue also shook his head helplessly.
"That means this signal bomb is telling Nie Xiong that there are pursuers behind them. " Yaner nodded and said.
"That's right. Since we know there are pursuers at the foot of the mountain, it is easy to think that all of this is just a trap. It seems that our plan is going to fail. This Nie Xiong is actually so careful even when there are no flaws in his plan. It's really too difficult to deal with him. " Tianyu looked at the path in the distance and said with a frown on his face.
"Then what should we do? If they know that this is a trap, they will definitely run away. Let's hurry and chase after them. " Loong Yun said anxiously.
"The huge Luochen Mountain has already alerted them. Even if they didn't go down the mountain but hid themselves, we still wouldn't be able to find them. We can only rely on Mr Qu's army now. Let's see if Mr Qu can catch them at these three checkpoints. Judging from the current situation, We don't need to kill him. We just need to trap him in the mountain and prevent him from returning to Shuntian Prefecture. " Tianyu shook his head and said.
