Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Early the next morning, Shi Siming went to court, and the secret guard went to see Mrs. Shi quietly.

Mrs. Shi saw that he had a wound on his face and asked, "How did you get that?"

The secret guard stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Madam, there were no problems at the beginning yesterday. We checked the guards in the mansion again and found the whereabouts of Princess Guangping. However, on our way back, we were ambushed shortly after leaving the Shi Mansion. We're not sure if this group of people was arranged by Lord Shi or someone else..."

Mrs. Shi recalled what Shi Siming had done in the past few days. At most, he was trying to please her for the divorce, and nothing else had changed.

That meant that they were not trying to alert the enemy. Was it someone else setting an ambush? That was unlikely, after all, no one knew that Shi Siming had another mansion in the suburbs.

So the most likely scenario is that Shi Siming had already ambushed people in secret. They went there once, and then a second time, and realized something was wrong, so they sent people to intercept them...

So Mrs. Shi asked, "Are you sure you can rescue the people?"

The secret guard also told the truth: "Madam, with their martial arts, they are definitely superior to us. If we rely on only a few secret guards, I am afraid we are no match."

He suddenly remembered something else and said, "Oh, ma'am, there's something else I need to tell you."

Mrs. Shi asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?"

The secret guard said, "When we went to check on Princess Guangping's whereabouts yesterday, we found another woman in her room. She looked only eight or nine years old and seemed very close to Princess Guangping. I wonder if we need to rescue them together?"

Mrs. Shi was stunned when she heard this. After recalling for a while, she remembered that Princess Guangping seemed to have a younger sister, who was about eight or nine years old. Could it be that Shi Siming had abducted both daughters of the King of Yunnan?

Thinking of this, my head was about to explode. But it was also true that since I wanted to threaten the King of Yunnan, tying up just one person wouldn't be enough. Tying up two would be a sure thing... However, if I had to rescue two people, it would undoubtedly make their rescue more difficult.

Madam Shi sighed and said to the secret guards below, "How many more people do you think you need? Tell me what your plans are. I'll go find someone to help you rescue them."

Then, the secret guards explained their plan to Mrs. Shi. Because they wanted to rescue two people, and to prevent anyone from rescuing them, all the windows of the house they lived in were nailed shut, leaving only the main door for entry and exit.

So the secret guards planned to attack from the front, but if they did so, they would have to find a way to knock out the maid in the yard first, and then knock out the two guards outside, so that they could rescue the two of them naturally.

But bringing two people with them still requires climbing walls and climbing over rooftops. I heard that Princess Guangping knows martial arts, which is fine, but the other one doesn't, which makes their rescue more difficult.

They needed three people to enter the mansion, one to knock out the maid, and two to deal with the guards at the gate. After rescuing the two, they would need someone to meet them outside. The extra personnel were mainly to deal with the group of people outside in the dark. In total, it would be best to have a dozen or so people ready, but they only had six secret guards, and two of them were injured when they left the city yesterday.

However, the secret guard still had a problem: "But Madam, I'm afraid these two won't want to come with us. After all, we are your secret guards. If we say you asked us to rescue them, I'm afraid they will think it's a trap and won't leave..."

After hearing the secret guard's arrangement, Madam Shi felt that it was quite appropriate, so she said, "If the situation is as you described, I can borrow someone from the Guo Mansion. I heard that Lord Guo Ziyi and Princess Guangping are quite familiar with each other."

The secret guard was worried that if this matter were to be disclosed to outsiders, wouldn't it bring disaster to the family? With a hint of concern, he asked, "But Madam, if Madam Guo tells this to Lord Guo, wouldn't that put the Shi family in danger?"

Madam Shi, however, trusted Madam Guo very much and said, "Don't worry, she's not that kind of person. I've already told her about the situation, but Lord Guo hasn't taken any action yet, which is enough to prove that she didn't reveal this to him. Otherwise, given Lord Guo's familiarity with the Prince of Yunnan's palace, he would have immediately reported it to the Prince of Yunnan and sent people to rescue her. Why would he have waited until we were here to make plans?"

Although Mrs. Shi's words sounded reasonable, the secret guard still felt that something was wrong. However, Mrs. Shi trusted Mrs. Guo too much, and he was afraid that it would backfire, so he had to do as she said.

As soon as the secret guard left, Mrs. Shi took some things and went to Guo's house. After all, she needed help from someone, so it would be better to go in person.

When Mrs. Guo heard the announcement at the door that Mrs. Shi had arrived, she was amazed at the efficiency of her close friend. Although she was a little simple, she was really fast in doing things!

Mrs. Guo thought about it, and went to the door with a smile to meet Mrs. Shi. The two of them seemed to be talking and laughing as they walked to Mrs. Guo's yard together.

When they arrived at the courtyard, Madam Guo took Madam Shi directly to the bedroom and sent the servants away. Then Madam Guo asked, "Tell me, Rou'er, is there anything you need my help with?"

Mrs. Shi didn't hesitate. After all, she had already informed Mrs. Guo of her decision, so she said bluntly, "Sister, I need to borrow six or seven people from the Guo Mansion. It would be best if they have some martial arts skills..."

Mrs. Guo was confused and asked, "Are you ready to take action?"

Mrs. Shi nodded slightly, and Mrs. Guo looked at her with admiration and said, "Since you've made up your mind, then as your good sister, I will definitely do my best to help you. I will help you prepare the people. When do you need them? What do you need them for?"

Madam Shi reviewed the rescue plan the secret guard had just shared with her and said, "Tonight at 3 p.m., meet at a dilapidated temple thirty miles east of the city. I need someone to accompany my men to the mansion to rescue them. Remember to bring some kind of identification, or send someone they know well. Otherwise, the princess and the others might suspect a scam and refuse to go with my men. The rest of you can just wait outside."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Guo nodded, indicating that she understood Mrs. Shi's meaning, and said, "Okay, I'll find someone close to me to send you a message in the name of an invitation."

The two of them made this agreement, and not long after, Mrs. Shi left the Guo Mansion.

Madam Guo sent someone to deliver a message to the Prince of Yunnan's palace. After all, Dugu Xin and Dugu Moyan did not need to attend the morning court, and Li Chu and Guo Ziyi should have just finished their court session and had not yet left the palace.

After Dugu Xin and Dugu Moyan learned the news, they immediately selected two guards, and Dugu Moyan also decided to go in person.

Later, Guo Ziyi returned home. Mrs. Guo explained the matter to Guo Ziyi, and Guo Ziyi also arranged two guards.

The next step was to deliver the letter to Li Chu. Li Chu also arranged two people. Because too many people knew him and he was afraid of being recognized, he sent Feng Shengyi and a more trusted secret guard.

Everything is ready, just waiting for action at night.
