Chapter 67: Stratagem 36: Lure the Enemy with Yourself

"This is just a preliminary plan. The recent heavy rains have caused landslides in many mountainous areas. The few areas that haven't collapsed are also very dangerous. So, I think..."

"So, you want to bury them with the help of falling rocks?"

"Yes, but not here! I have already explored the terrain here during the day. It is high and solid. Unless a large amount of flint and stone explosives are used, there will not be a lot of rockfall.

Therefore, we must choose another place and lead the people there." Shen Qingge explained.

After hearing this, Xiao Heng couldn't help but frown and said worriedly: "How can these well-trained guards be deceived? I'm afraid your plan will be difficult to implement!"

"Actually, that's not the case, Your Highness. I have already thought of a plan, but you may have to suffer a little?" Shen Qingge smiled mysteriously.

"Why do you say that? Tell me!" Xiao Heng asked curiously.

"With such an experienced general and well-trained soldiers, the only way to lure them out is by using you as bait! Make them believe that you have found the antidote, your body has recovered as before, and you have stockpiled a large number of private soldiers to harm Xiao Mo!" Shen Qingge spoke calmly.

After hearing this, Xiao Heng pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Well, your plan might work, but how do we implement it specifically?"

"We will first sneak into the camp and spread false information, letting them know that you have found the antidote and are preparing to deal with the Five Princes. At the same time, we will set a trap at the chosen location and wait for them to take the bait. When they arrive, we will trigger a landslide and bury them."

Xiao Heng nodded and asked, "And then?"

Shen Qingge smiled and replied, "Once they receive the secret letter, they will definitely send troops to investigate. When that happens, you can pretend to sneak away from the base, wandering back and forth, deliberately exposing your whereabouts. They will definitely come to hunt you down, and you will fall into our trap.

However, doing so could put you in danger. Secrecy is key to success, and leaks are key to failure. The fewer people who know, the greater your chances of success! We can't guarantee there won't be spies among your vassalage team. My ability to teleport must not be known to outsiders!

Therefore, it is unlikely that many people will know and help you. Can you accept this?"

Xiao Heng thought about it and felt that although this plan was risky, it was the only feasible way at the moment. So, he decided to act according to Shen Qingge's plan, but he promised Yun Yi that he would keep the matter a secret and hoped to bring Yun Yi with him.

Shen Qingge thought for a while, and for his safety's sake, agreed to his suggestion.

The two of them teleported back into the cave, prepared their belongings, and acted separately. After all, they didn't have much time left, and they had to solve the problem before everyone woke up.

……

Half an hour later, Yun Yi drove the carriage that Xiao Heng was riding in and appeared in a canyon twenty miles west of the camp.

A master and a servant, feeling the whistling wind in the canyon, waited quietly for the arrival of the "pursuers".

On the other side, Shen Qingge had already sneaked into the enemy's tent.

At this time, Liu Wu was having a secret conversation with two of his men.

"Commander Liu, do you think we really want to hand over this Nine-Curved Mandarin Duck Pot to those good-for-nothings? Since the prince has already sent us out, and the Fifth Prince's entourage only has a few hundred guards, why would we need to go to such great lengths to hide? After we set up an ambush, we can just kill them!"

Liu Wu held the Nine-Curved Mandarin Duck Pot in his hand and wiped it back and forth continuously:

"You know shit! We're just stalking the mantis while the oriole waits behind! Xiao Heng and Shen Qingge are both tough nut to crack, otherwise they wouldn't have tricked the prince so miserably!

Let's let those idiots take the lead. If they succeed, we can sit back and reap the benefits without any effort. If they fail, don't we have a backup plan? "

"Oh... indeed, you are wise, sir. We are filled with admiration for you."

"Then we have to inform those..."

Whoosh... Snap! With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, a cloud-piercing arrow pierced through the tent and steadily hit the main table in front of Liu Wu and others.

The arrow's shaft penetrated the wood, its tail trembling slightly, startling Liu Wu and the others. They immediately stood up and instinctively retreated, looking around warily for any possible threats. Their faces were solemn, their eyes filled with tension and anxiety.

"Someone come here..." Liu Wu shouted, with a hint of panic in his voice.

Before he finished speaking, a group of soldiers rushed into the tent like a tide. They held weapons in their hands, looked nervous, and had vigilant glints in their eyes. They quickly protected Liu Wu and others in the middle.

At the same time, a noisy sound of footsteps and the clashing of weapons could be heard outside the tent. Soon, the tent was surrounded by three layers of soldiers, all holding various weapons and looking around vigilantly.

As time ticked by, a tense atmosphere permeated the tent. Everyone's heart was in their throat, ready to deal with any crisis.

However, after a while, apart from this arrow, the entire tent was quiet, without any unusual movement, and everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed.

Liu Wu took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then ordered his men to carefully wrap the arrow with a cloth and slowly remove it. After a careful inspection, he confirmed that the arrow was not poisoned. Only then did he feel relieved and removed the letter tube at the end of the arrow.

Liu Wu opened the mailbox and took out the secret letter. He looked closely and saw that the handwriting was that of Qin Wang Xiao Mo, and the signature was stamped with Xiao Mo's personal seal. He was startled and quickly unfolded the letter to read.

The letter's contents were roughly as follows: The King of Qin had received the latest intelligence that the Fifth Prince, Xiao Heng, had found the antidote to the Seven-Star Begonia and was on his way to reunite with his private soldiers, currently not far from the camp. Therefore, King Xiao Mo ordered Liu Wu to immediately lead his troops in an all-out attack, ensuring the complete capture of Xiao Heng and his private soldiers to prevent any future trouble.

After reading the letter, Liu Wu's face instantly turned gloomy. He turned the letter over and over again, carefully observing the handwriting and seal on the letter, feeling uneasy.

After repeated confirmation, it was confirmed that the letter was indeed the handwriting and seal of the King of Qin, without any flaws. But the strange thing was, why was there only a secret letter and no secret envoy?

He looked at his subordinates hesitantly, not knowing what to do for a moment.

The subordinates looked at each other in confusion and then started talking.

"Sir, it's better to believe it than not! Perhaps the secret envoy has his reasons for not showing up!"

"That's right, we only need to make one trip to confirm. But if we miss this opportunity and let the Fifth Prince escape, we will have no choice but to return with our heads held high!"
