Chapter 197 It's best if he doesn't catch this vixen.
"No rush." Wu Muyou put the spirit snake back into the scepter, stood up, and his brown eyes swept over Hu Lieyunxiao indifferently.
"What does the Great Wizard mean by this?" Hu Lieyunxiao asked, somewhat puzzled.
How could we arrive at Haimu City and not fight?
Wu Muyou said, "The Regent will be holding a banquet at the City Lord's Mansion tonight, which is the perfect opportunity for us to rescue people from the prison."
"Hijacking someone?" Hu Lieyunxiao was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what he meant.
Yes.
The princess's reinforcements and Hai Mu City's troops were all trapped in prison.
If they can be rescued first, then the Dragon Flame Army will be no threat.
He nodded immediately.
“The Grand Wizard is right. We’ve just arrived in Haimu City, and the Regent might not know yet. We can take advantage of his relaxed vigilance to rescue our brothers from prison!”
"How could the wizard know they had a banquet tonight?" Hu Lieyunxiao asked suspiciously.
Wu Muyou looked at him as if he were an idiot, "Naturally, it was the spirit snake that detected it."
Hu Lieyunxiao clicked his tongue in amazement.
I almost forgot, this Wu Muyou can control birds and beasts to gather information.
Fortunately, I didn't hide the treasure map from him.
Otherwise, they would be exposed immediately.
*
As night falls, the lights are on.
The city lord's mansion was brightly lit, and the sounds of silk and bamboo instruments filled the air.
The dungeon was eerily quiet.
Hu Lieyunxiao, dressed in black, sneaked into the prison cell. Seeing only two guards at the door, a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
This regent is either excessively arrogant or simply not in his right mind.
Even if there is a banquet in the mansion and the mining is something to celebrate, it is still inappropriate to leave only these few guards to watch over the prison.
They probably really didn't know their troops had arrived.
The wizard is right. Now is the time for them to let their guard down. They must not miss this golden opportunity!
He pressed himself against the wall, held his breath, and chopped down the guard at the door with a karate chop.
They stripped one of the men of his clothes, changed him, and then swaggered into the prison carrying a wine jar.
There were only three soldiers inside, sitting around a table.
"Who are you?" One of them stood up warily and looked Hu Lieyunxiao up and down.
Hu Lieyunxiao placed the wine jar on the table and said with a smile, "Everyone in front is drinking and having fun. The Regent was worried that you guys might be tired, so he specially ordered me to bring some wine to help you brothers relax."
The three soldiers immediately lowered their guard.
"The Regent truly cares for his subordinates; even we remember it."
Hu Lieyunxiao sneered inwardly and poured wine for the three of them. "Drink up."
One of the soldiers hesitated and said, "But there are only a few of us guarding this place now. What if we drink and mess things up?"
Hu Lieyunxiao froze for a moment, then laughed, "How could that be? Do you think the Regent's guards are all pushovers?"
With so many wanted criminals here, do you really think we'd leave just a few of you to watch over them?
"There are plenty of hidden guards!"
He patted one of the soldiers on the shoulder and handed him a bowl of wine.
"Drink with confidence. If the Regent was worried, he wouldn't have asked me to bring you wine. This is the finest wine from the banquet earlier! You won't get another chance to enjoy it."
The aroma of wine filled the air. The soldiers sniffed the air, slapped their thighs, and said, "You're right! The Regent must have a backup plan!"
"Let us drink this cup to our hearts' content!"
"It's just a small jar, enough to satisfy a craving, it won't interfere with anything!"
They were all known for being able to drink a lot without getting drunk.
After saying this, the three soldiers felt relieved and began to drink.
"Hey, brother, sit down and have a drink with us," one of the soldiers called out to Hu Lieyunxiao.
No sooner had they finished speaking than the three of them collapsed onto the table with a thud.
"This wine...is problematic..."
Hu Lieyunxiao looked at the three unconscious men and sneered, "This wine was drugged with sleeping potion; I am not worthy to enjoy it."
After saying that, he pulled the key from one of the soldiers' waists and released all the soldiers imprisoned in the cell.
"I am the invincible general appointed by His Majesty—Hu Lie Yunxiao. All of you, follow me quietly!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers all obeyed and followed him out of the cell.
Zhai Rongyu removed the invisibility talisman and walked out from the shadows of the prison cell.
She flicked the ribbon at her waist, and the three unconscious soldiers raised their heads, stood up from the table, and stood to the side, respectfully saying, "Princess Yongning."
He doesn't look like he's been drugged at all.
Zhai Rongyu smiled and responded with an "Mm," her dimples spreading slightly at the corners of her mouth.
As Ah Xu predicted, they will come to kidnap people at this time.
[But is Hu Lieyunxiao a nepotism hire?]
How did someone with that kind of brain become an "unbeatable general"?
I suspect this title is somewhat inflated; he might have paid for it himself.
Yes, it must be.
Zhai Rong, her dark eyes gleaming, left the prison cell and headed towards the banquet venue.
After dealing with General Nansang, we still need to meet with Cang Zhihe and Liu Taiqing.
I wonder what kind of opera they'll be performing tonight.
I'm starting to have some expectations.
……
Outside Haimu City, at the Nansang military camp.
The guards outside the camp stared in disbelief as Hu Lieyunxiao walked into the camp, followed by a pile of bamboo.
"This...this..." The soldier rubbed his eyes.
"This bamboo has become a spirit?!"
"General!" he immediately called out to Hu Lieyunxiao, his face ashen.
Hu Lieyunxiao patted him on the shoulder in high spirits, "You've worked hard on duty today!"
He turned around, waved his hand, and said with great pride, "Now that I have brought back so many troops, you can take turns keeping watch at night, which will make things easier for you!"
Soldier:……
He looked awkwardly at the pile of bamboo, then at Hu Lieyunxiao, whose face was beaming with joy. He opened his mouth and closed it again and again, but couldn't utter a single word.
Either the general has gone mad, or he has.
The general is an invincible general, so it's more likely that he's gone mad.
No, I can't let the general know I've gone mad.
The soldier immediately puffed out his chest and said righteously, "Thank you for your concern, General! It's nothing, it's all I should do!"
Hu Lieyunxiao nodded in satisfaction and entered the military camp.
"Great Wizard! I have brought all your brothers back for you!" he said with great pride.
Wu Muyou stepped out of the tent and saw a pile of bamboo behind Hu Lieyunxiao; his face immediately darkened.
Hu Lieyunxiao was still oblivious, smugly saying, "I didn't expect it to go so smoothly this time!"
"I think that damned regent is nothing to fear!"
"Successfully?!" Wu Muyou gritted his teeth and tore off the talisman from Hu Lieyunxiao's back. "Take another good look!"
Hu Lieyunxiao turned around and saw a pile of bamboo behind him, rubbing his eyes in disbelief.
"what happened?!"
"how so!"
He ran over and pushed hard, and the pile of bamboo fell to the ground with a clatter, filling the entire open space of the camp.
Hu Lieyunxiao's face turned white, then green, then white again, and finally flushed bright red.
He ran up to Wu Muyou, snatched the talisman from him, and crushed it to pieces in his hand.
"It must be that damned Zhai Rongyu!"
"I didn't expect her to come to Haimu City too!"
Hu Lieyun was furious, his eyes almost spitting fire.
Alright, he'd better not let this vixen catch him!
Otherwise, don't blame him for settling both old and new scores!
