Chapter Sixty-Eight: Counterintuitive Strategy
After Wang Yuejiao came back from eavesdropping on the spies' conversation, she went to the barracks to report to Qi Ying what she had overheard about the enemy.
Qi Ying gave a thumbs up and praised: "Yes, I can understand Japanese so quickly."
Wang Yuejiao held the "Japanese Comprehensive Guide" and said happily: "Of course, this "Japanese Comprehensive Guide" is very detailed and easy to learn."
Qi Ying sighed: "You are right. It didn't take me long to learn Japanese. My master Hengzhi really took great pains to write this book."
"Stop talking about this," Wang Yuejiao said angrily, remembering the contents of the spies' conversation: "I don't understand why they want to kidnap me?"
After hearing this, Qi Ying covered her mouth and laughed. Wang Yuejiao complained with wide-open almond-shaped eyes: "Are you still laughing to take pleasure in your misfortune?"
Qi Ying stopped laughing and explained: "According to my analysis, the main reason is that you wanted to go out of the city that time, Chai San blocked you from leaving the city, and your quarrel attracted the attention of the spies."
"Oh?" Wang Yuejiao asked in surprise: "What happened to me when I went out of the city to provoke spies?"
"Why is everything okay?" Qi Ying asked back: "Do you know why the Japanese pirates wanted to capture Ma Jun alone? Why didn't they kill him directly?"
Wang Yuejiao shook her head to express that she didn't know, and said anxiously: "Just tell me."
Qi Ying explained: "The Japanese pirates captured Ma Jun alive to lure you out of the city to capture you. The Japanese pirates wanted to capture you to lure me out of the city to rescue you and then surround and kill me. I ordered Chai San not to let you go out because I was worried that you would fall into the trap and secretly
Run out of the city.
Fortunately, Chai San stopped you, otherwise you would have fallen into the hands of the Japanese pirates. The spies must have seen you and Chai San arguing. When they saw that you could not get out of the city, they sent four men in black to pretend to be citizens.
The city has come to kidnap you.
You heard the content of their conversation later. Their ultimate goal was to lure me outside the city and kill me, and kidnapping you was just one of their pawns."
Wang Yuejiao was furious, and said with dignity: "I will not let them succeed, never."
After Qi Ying confirmed that Cui Qiao was the spy, he sent militiamen to watch Cui Qiao and discovered that San Gu had secretly communicated with Cui Qiao by stuffing a note under the stone lion's feet.
Qi Ying discovered the spy Sangu again. It turned out that this inconspicuous old sweeping woman wearing gray clothes who often appeared around was the spy.
He calculated that including the four men in black, there were seven spies in total in Taizhou City. Qi Ying was not sure whether there were other spies.
He sent a messenger to Tiantai Mountain to contact Tang Xuan for conspiracy, and finally got in touch. He used Huang Dajie and Cui Qiao to play the piano

When he was there, he deliberately leaked fake military information so that Cui Qiao could hear it.
Cuiqiao believed it was true and sent Xiaohua to convey false information about the enemy. Xin Wulang also believed it and ordered Bai Xiang to lead troops to Jiao Valley to set up an ambush and eliminate Tang Xuan.
Qi Ying found out that Bai Xiang had indeed left the camp with his troops, so he led the militiamen out of the west gate and followed the Japanese soldiers. In order to prevent the spies from leaving the city and spreading the news, Qi Ying led his troops out of the city and ordered Ji Jin to close the four city gates to prevent the spies from escaping.
Go out. Ji Jin didn't open the city gate until the Japanese camp was taken away.
After the explosion of gunpowder in Jiaogu, Qi Ying and Shang Tao blocked the Japanese army's retreat, and what followed was a scene in which the entire White Elephant army was annihilated.
Cuiqiao couldn't figure out for a moment why the White Elephant army was wiped out. It was the wolf soldiers who should have been wiped out.
The cruel results only forced her to quickly find a way to clean up the defeat. She knew that the losses in this battle were not over yet, and there would be more losses if she didn't work up the energy to clean up the mess.
Huang Dajie took a white cloth strip to help her bandage her finger. While bandaging it, he said with concern: "This injury hurts so much. Why are you so careless?"
Cui Qiao was not in the mood to care about her finger injury and said anxiously: "Sir, let's go together to welcome Qi Ying's triumphant victory."
Upon hearing this, Huang Dajie said happily: "Okay, okay."
The two led the government officials toward the city gate and met the victorious militiamen.
Bai Xiang was locked in a prison car and taken to the government office. Both sides of the street were lined with soldiers and civilians. They took rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs and threw them at Bai Xiang until he was covered in dirt.
When Qi Ying saw Huang Dajie coming, he raised his hands and reported: "Report to your lord, more than 2,000 Japanese pirates have been annihilated, and one Japanese general has been captured."
Huang Dajie said with great joy: "Well done, well done, I will report to the court one day to ask for your credit."
Cui Qiao stood aside and said with a forced smile: "It's great to congratulate the coach on his return with victory."
Wang Yuejiao suppressed the anger in her heart, pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, and said, "Yes, some people are so happy that they almost cry."
Bai Xiang was taken to the government prison. Qi Ying left Ji Jin to guard Bai Xiang and warned: "Don't let anyone get close to him, especially don't let Cuiqiao get close to him."
Ji Jin ordered: "Yes, don't worry."
In the evening, there was a grand celebration banquet at the government office. On Huang Day, Cui Qiao and Qi Ying sat at the same table. Wang Yuejiao was persuaded by Qi Ying to sit at another table, fearing that she and Cui Qiao could not control their anger.
Huang Dajie was cheering for a drink. Qi Ying was also responding cheerfully. Cui Qiao interjected and asked: "How does the instructor think we should deal with the Japanese general Bai Xiang?"
Qi Ying replied: "Wang Yuejiao is eager to save her cousin, and she has made great contributions on the battlefield. I suggest sending a messenger to

It was the Japanese chief who replaced the white elephant with Ma Jun."
Huang Dajie waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, such a powerful Japanese general cannot let the tiger go back to the mountain."
Qi Ying was a little drunk. When Huang Dajie objected, he had to explain: "Don't worry, sir. Tomorrow I will cut off Bai Xiang's meridians in public and disable his martial arts. He will be disabled and can no longer use force."
Huang Dajie felt that there was no danger in removing the tiger's claws and he could safely put it back. He also nodded in agreement that the idea of returning Ma Jun was feasible.
Cuiqiao was shocked and felt that it was extremely bad that Qi Ying wanted to abolish Bai Xiang's martial arts. Bai Xiang could not become a useless person because of the love his father Xin Wulang cultivated for many years.
The wine table was having a good time drinking, and Cui Qiao excused herself because the weather was hot and wanted to stand at the door to enjoy the breeze. Huang Dajie wanted to send her to the door, but she declined and said: "My lord, just stay and drink. I will come in after cooling down for a while."
Huang Dajie no longer insisted on going out together, and asked him to cut a plate of watermelon and wait for Cuiqiao to come back to cool down the fever.
Cuiqiao walked to the gate of the government office and eagerly waited for the third aunt to appear. As expected, the third aunt was waiting nearby. When she saw Cuiqiao coming out, she hurriedly took a broom and swept the floor.
Sangu asked in a low voice while sweeping the floor: "White Elephant has been captured, Master Ji, what do you want me to do?"
Cuiqiao fanned the wind and said softly: "Qi Ying is going to abolish Bai Xiang's martial arts tomorrow. It will be too late. Tell Xiao Hua to go out of the city to find the master to ask for the invisibility technique. This is the last chance to save Bai Xiang. The prerequisite is to bet on the top of the well."
The board has arrived today."
Third Gu said worriedly: "This chance is too small."
Cui Qiao said coldly: "No matter how small the opportunity is, you have to give it a try. If the white elephant is destroyed, the loss will be too serious."
Just when the city gate was about to close, Xiaohua hurried out of the city. She rushed to the Haimen Guard and arrived at the fortress gate in the middle of the night. She hurriedly beat the Haimen Guard at the fortress gate.
Xin Wulang got up in the middle of the night to see Xiaohua. When he learned that Qi Ying was going to destroy Bai Xiang's meridians tomorrow, he shouted anxiously: "Jiujiutianzi, have you found the manhole cover? If you don't come back, Bai Xiang will be destroyed."
Just when Xin Wulang was stamping his feet in anxiety, a soldier happily came to report: "Master, Jiujiutazi is back with an old man."
Xin Wulang was ecstatic, dancing and shouting: "It's great to be back in time, please let Jiujiutazi come in."
Xiaohua took the secret tube of invisibility and hurried back to Taizhou City that night. She was the first to enter the city after the city gate opened in the early morning.
Chai San, who had just opened the city gate, was yawning. When he saw Xiaohua rushing into the city, he wondered to himself: "What has this little flower been busy with all night?"
