Chapter 178 Exploding Paradise!
Liang Ming saw that Long Xuanji trusted him so much.
He was not surprised at all.
Who would have thought that he, who seemed upright and trusted by the emperor, would even dare to fight with Han Li, who terrified the Qi army.
But for money, he was eventually controlled by Qin Chuan!
He recalled the arrangement Qin Chuan had given him and said, "I haven't figured out the specific time and place yet."
Long Xuanji was obviously disappointed.
Liang Ming changed the subject; "However, General Long, since my people can get the secrets of Han Li, they can naturally find out when he will go and where he will go! General Long only needs to train the troops in the camp and wait. I believe it will not take a few days!"
"Then I'll leave it to you, sir!"
Long Xuanji's attitude was obviously much more respectful than before, and even the way he addressed her had changed.
"General Long, you are too polite. Everything you and I have done is for the great cause of Qi! In order to fulfill your majesty's ambition to unify the world, I, Liang Ming, am willing to give everything!" Liang Ming patted his frail chest.
"Well said!" Long Xuanji was very satisfied.
After being captured, she felt that the whole world had become dim.
She herself did not expect that there would be such a sudden turn of events. Not only did she meet the man who helped her escape from the clutches of the devil, but now she also met a loyal minister like Liang Ming.
She felt that luck was now moving towards her and towards their Qi State.
After coming out of Liang Ming's tent, even though it was already late at night, Long Xuanji still felt that the whole world was full of light.
She was not sleepy at all and started to practice martial arts.
But what she didn't know was that Qin Chuan and Qingyue hadn't gone to bed either.
The two men had just finished packaging a batch of explosive packs and were already sweating profusely from exhaustion.
During a short break, Qingyue drank some water, looked at Qin Chuan, who was wiping his bare arms with cold water, and asked, "Hey, Brother Chuan, in the letter you wrote to Liang Ming, why didn't you let Liang Ming directly tell Long Xuanji the specific time?
Wouldn't it be easier to catch her this way?"
Qin Chuan put down the towel and said, "If I tell you the time directly, wouldn't that make Long Xuanji think that it's too easy to get this information? The easier it is, the more suspicious it will be.
Secondly, our main task at the moment is to fight against the Qi army, not to capture Long Xuanji.
If he is captured, the Qi army might realize that the longer they delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for them, and they might even decide to attack the city.
In this way, our preparation time will be greatly reduced.
It would be better to let her know about this opportunity first.
When the time is right, it won’t be too late to tell her.”
Qingyue nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, the two of them did not continue talking and started a new round of preparation.
Seven days passed in a flash.
Long Xuanji and Park Sheng were both getting restless.
The two found Liang Ming.
Pu Sheng said coldly: "Master Liang, didn't you say before that within three days, the undercover agents in Xiliang City would be able to find out the situation of Long Lei and Granny Yinhua? Now seven days have passed, why is there still no result?"
Liang Ming naturally wanted to give them an answer, but he had been waiting for Qin Chuan's order for seven days. He also asked Qin Chuan if he could tell Long Xuanji and others about Long Lei's situation.
But Qin Chuan asked him to wait for orders.
Now, all the money that the seven powerful families paid for hiring a killer has been delivered, and he and Qin Chuan will split it 50-50.
Qin Chuan still didn't give him any orders.
Facing their questioning, Liang Ming shook his head again and said, "This matter cannot be rushed. Let's wait for news. I think it won't take long."
"Can't wait any longer!"
The figure of Bai Ying appeared again, and looking at his bloodless face, there was still a gloomy look: News came from the court yesterday that the Xirong Kingdom and the Wusun Kingdom are also ready to make a move. If we don’t take Xiliang City as soon as possible, I’m afraid that these two countries will take advantage of the emptiness of our Qi State transferring 300,000 troops to the south to plunder our Qi State’s border!
His Majesty orders us to start the war as soon as possible and capture Xiliang City!
Don't worry about the lives of Long Lei and Granny Yinhua for now, think of a good time to start a war!"
Look at the silver and make the decision.
Except for Liang Ming, Long Xuanji and Park Sheng both had expressions of ecstasy on their faces.
Whether for revenge or to establish a career, they all wanted to start the war as soon as possible.
"Lord Baiying, I think the sooner the better. Let's get ready tonight and attack the city tomorrow!" Park Seung spoke first.
"Okay, let's cut the Gordian knot. Attacking the city tomorrow is the best option!" Long Xuanji agreed.
How could Liang Ming agree? He immediately stroked his beard and said, "I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow. There's heavy fog tonight, and there's no guarantee that the fog will dissipate tomorrow! Although we have a large number of troops, if our vision is blocked, our advantage will be greatly reduced!
Why not wait until tomorrow to see if the fog has cleared? It won’t be too late to take action then! ”
As for Liang Ming, no one present had any doubt at all.
It can be seen how well this guy hides himself.
Long Xuanji walked out of the tent and looked at the thick fog, where one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. He felt that Liang Ming was right.
"In that case, let's wait and see the weather tomorrow. If there is no more fog tomorrow night, we will attack Xiliang City the day after tomorrow morning and try to capture Xiliang City within half a day!" Bai Ying immediately ordered, "Long Xuanji, Park Sheng, listen to my orders!"
"The general is here!"
"When the war starts, Long Xuanji will be in full command, with Park Sheng as his assistant! Anyone who refuses to cooperate will be killed without mercy!" Bai Ying ordered.
Although Bai Ying was an envoy sent by Qi Yunxiao and liked the feeling of controlling power, he also knew that when it came to marching troops and fighting, Long Xuanji was more powerful.
The title of the female war god of their Qi State was not called out casually, but was earned through dozens of victories in wars.
Although Park Sheng also wanted to achieve great things, he was still very convinced of Long Xuanji's military command ability.
Only by letting her come to command can their Qi army unleash its maximum power.
"Here!"
After hearing the order, Long Xuanji became excited.
She immediately summoned all the soldiers to discuss specific tactics.
While they were discussing, Liang Ming sent his confidant to pass on the news of their war on the pretext of finding out the current situation in Xiliang City.
At this time, Qin Chuan was counting silver in his mansion.
Yesterday, the seven wealthy families were responsible for the money for hiring a killer, and he and Liang Ming split it 50-50.
The reason for the 50-50 split was that Qin Chuan naturally wanted to stabilize Liang Ming first and then snatch it back after he had used him.
Even if it is only 50%, the seven major clans, Yuwen Yan and other forces are all wealthy and powerful.
The commission for hiring a killer is often hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of taels.
The total amount reached 4.2 million taels.
Even if it's split 50-50, he can still get 2.1 million taels!
Of course, he will get all the silver in the end!
In order to facilitate transactions, the seven wealthy families sent over silver notes from the Baotong Silver Bank, which was affiliated with several countries.
This type of silver note is recognized by all countries, so there is no need to worry about not being able to exchange it for silver.
Qin Chuan had just put away the banknotes when Qingyue knocked on his window: "Brother Chuan, it's urgent!"
"What's the matter?" Qin Chuan opened the doors and windows.
"According to the news from Liang Ming, the Emperor of Qi doesn't want to endure it any longer. They will start attacking the city as early as the day after tomorrow morning! Should we prepare as soon as possible?" Qingyue said anxiously.
If it were a few days ago, Qin Chuan would still be a little anxious.
But now he is not in a hurry.
There had been heavy fog for several days in a row, and Qin Chuan had taken advantage of the fog to secretly bury the prepared explosives in Xiliang City.
If the Qi army came, they would surely be frightened out of their wits, causing heavy casualties!
For absolute confidentiality.
Qin Chuan took advantage of the heavy fog to do this, and even Shen Yang was completely unaware that the city was filled with explosives.
As long as Qin Chuan finds the hidden fuse and lights it.
The area outside Xiliang City will instantly become a paradise of explosions!
Seeing Qingyue's anxious expression, Qin Chuan patted her shoulders and said, "Have you forgotten everything we did during the foggy nights? After doing this, we don't need to make any preparations."
"Then should we tell General Shen Yang and the others?" Qingyue asked.
"The fewer people who know about this, the better. He won't tell anyone. Otherwise, the mysterious undercover agent who helped Long Xuanji will see Shen Yang's confidence and might inform the Qi army of this news. If they think there is a trap and don't come to attack the city, then all our preparations will be wasted!" Qin Chuan replied.
After one night, the fog disappeared.
After nightfall again, the fog did not appear again.
Seeing this, Long Xuanji, who was sitting in the commander's seat, made a prompt decision: "Come here, send a declaration of war to Xiliang City, and attack the city tomorrow morning!"
