Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 724

After Shen Wei said this, a heavy, deathly silence fell over the surroundings.

Everyone understood what Shen Wei meant.

Consort Yu only gave him one day to consider, but Shen Wei returned from the capital, which means that Shen Wei did not intend to continue negotiating with Consort Yu.

He returned to lead troops to attack Kyoto.

If the hostages in the palace were to be killed, they would have to be sacrificed.

Several people stood by, opening their mouths but not knowing what to say.

Nobody wanted to make this decision, but they had no choice.

Shen Lingjun gritted his teeth and said, "Anyway, they'll die if we don't save them. Saving them might give us a glimmer of hope. We can't just do nothing; we have to try."

Ye Huaichi also said, "Tonight we will launch a sneak attack from the weakest point in the palace guards. Even if we can rescue just one hostage, it will be a win for us."

Shen Wei nodded.

"I will launch an attack on Kyoto tomorrow, and tonight is my last chance."

Ye Huaichi immediately summoned the experts from the Eastern Depot again to discuss the plan.

Shen Lingjun also attended the meeting, but after discussion, there was still no progress.

The palace is now completely sealed off, especially the Zhenghe Palace, where the hostages are being held. It is located in the center of the palace and is guarded like an iron barrel.

Ye Huaichi planned to use a three-pronged approach. One option was for someone to disguise themselves as Imperial Guards and infiltrate the area. The chances of success were extremely slim, as there was no time for a proper disguise and they would be easily detected. He could only hope for incredible luck.

A group of people mingled with the supply convoy transporting goods into the palace. With so many people in the palace, the daily food consumption was enormous, and the convoys had to deliver food to the palace every day. Of course, it was impossible to hide this from everyone, and the convoys could only go as far as the Imperial Kitchen, still a long way from the Zhenghe Palace.

The most elite teams would force their way in, attacking from the northwest side of the palace closest to Zhenghe Palace. The speed of the attack had to outpace the speed of the news to save the lives of the hostages.

All things considered, the odds of winning are less than 30%.

Even if the odds are slim, they have to give it their all.

As Shen Lingjun was staring at the palace map, his brows furrowed and racking his brains, a servant came to report.

"Madam Shen, a man has come to see you, saying he has a way to rescue the hostages."

At this moment, Shen Lingjun didn't bother to ask who the other party was. As soon as he heard the words "there is a way to rescue the hostages," he immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Take me to see them quickly!"

She went to the side hall in the front yard and saw a man in white standing there. His face was unfamiliar, but his figure was very familiar...

The other party made no attempt to conceal their identity and immediately removed the disguise mask from their face.

"Mrs. Shen."

It's actually a talisman master's banquet!

Why is he here?

Shen Lingjun was startled and instinctively took a step back.

"Somebody come!"

A bodyguard immediately broke down the door and entered.

"lady?"
