The prince is very cruel

Guan Ning patted him on the shoulder. How could he let him do something dangerous? If he was exposed, all the concubines in the harem would be killed without a burial place.

"No, just get me an invitation."

Chen Tu took a deep breath: "Okay."

"Then I'll do it if I'm willing."

Guan Ning nodded and watched him leave.

A few hours later, everyone in Yipintang gathered together.

A map was slowly unfolded, with dense markings on it. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a map of the capital city.

"Prince, the Zhao Mansion is located here, on the side of Zhuque Street. It is the center of the capital and is seven miles away from the nearest north gate." Yu Dilong said.

Guan Ning frowned: "Seven miles?"

"Five days just doesn't work anymore."

"Prince, what's not working?" Everyone was confused.

"I plan to dig a tunnel all the way to the underground of the Zhao Mansion, so that I can take Nan Yin out of the capital without anyone noticing. But digging a seven-mile-long tunnel takes five days, so how easy is that?"

This is not the later times, but the ancient times, when everything had to be done with one's hands.

Everyone was in a dilemma when they heard this. This was obviously impossible.

Unless there are a lot of people, but if the scale is large, they will definitely be discovered by the imperial guards in the city.

From the beginning, the atmosphere fell into silence.

Guan Ning thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "Let's dig from here."

He pointed to an empty lot a few hundred meters away from the Zhao Mansion and said, "I remember this was an abandoned dyeing workshop. The original owner hanged himself, and it's rumored to be haunted. Almost no one would go near it."

"Dig a tunnel that leads to the Zhao Mansion, preferably to the backyard. On the wedding day, there will be too many guests, and the backyard will definitely be empty."

"It's feasible. A few hundred meters should be no problem. We have all the tools in our arsenal!" Sheng Qi said.

"We obey your command!" Everyone in Yipintang bowed.

"But Prince, according to this plan, if the person sneaks out, how are we going to escape?" Yu Dilong suddenly spoke.

Guan Ning said: "If we are not discovered, it will not be difficult to sneak out of the city."

"But if we are discovered, the four gates of the capital will definitely be sealed. We have to bribe an insider." He muttered.

Suddenly, someone said, "Sir, I have an idea. There's a captain on duty at the north gate. He's a gambler. I've wanted to bribe him to be our informant before, but since Zhao Tai returned, I haven't had the chance."

"We should capture him this time. He is the captain on duty. If we can turn a blind eye, we will definitely be able to escape."

Guan Ning's eyes lit up.

"can!"

"You go now. If one hundred taels isn't enough, then use one thousand. Beat him until he's willing to work for us. But remember, don't tell him what needs to be done yet!"

"understand!"

Guan Ning clenched his fists and paced back and forth: "If the tunnel and bribing the captain are successful, then this plan will be complete."

"But plans can't keep up with changes, so we have to prepare a backup plan."

spare?

Everyone in Yipintang was confused.

"The backup plan is what we will do if we can't take Nan Yin away easily and get discovered." Guan Ning said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, everyone became serious.

Discovered? The event led by the Emperor and the Zhao family was disrupted, and it happened in the capital. No one in the world could walk out unscathed.

"Then we have no choice but to fight our way out." Yu Dilong's face was solemn.

Guan Ning looked at the map on the table thoughtfully. An idea came to his mind, but he quickly rejected it.

"You guys go ahead and do it, let me think about it."

"There are still five days left. There's still time."

Everyone in Yipintang nodded and clasped their fists: "Yes!"

They had no hesitation or doubt. As long as Guan Ning said so, they would do it.

The tunnel construction officially began late that night. Relying on the strength accumulated in the past, digging the ground was not difficult, and the haunting became the perfect cover for the excavation.

Even if there were night watchmen, they were bribed in advance and simply bypassed them.

On the other hand, the attempt to win over the captain of the North Gate was also underway. With their huge financial resources, they were not afraid of that guy asking for an exorbitant price.

Guan Ning stayed in Guan Mansion and did not go anywhere. One reason was to protect Qin Yao, and the other was to think of a backup plan in case the operation did not go smoothly.
