The matter of papermaking must be put aside for a while, because with the tireless efforts of more than a dozen tunnel warriors, the tunnel was finally opened.
Just when Ji Jie was about to give an order to rescue Zhao Ji, Li Mu suddenly issued an order to tighten the supervision of Zhao Ji's mother and son, and sent many more guards.
It becomes very difficult to take away the people below without anyone noticing.
"Damn it, this annoying Li Mu is so shameless!" Ji Jie cursed angrily.
Qin Qing advised: "In any case, our plan has not been exposed so far. Li Mu just made such a decision subconsciously. We still have a chance!"
Ji Jie sat down and thought for a while and said, "Sister Qing is right. Let's do this. Let's leave Handan in a big way tomorrow morning and meet outside Wulu City after dark. Then we will act together. Ji Jian, you will also join us!"
"No problem. Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do everything beautifully!" Ji Jian looked confident.
Next, Ji Jie first had a tryst with Qian'er, then told him about leaving, then informed Prince Zhao Qian to arrange all this, and finally went to see King Zhao Xiang to say goodbye.
Early the next morning, the Wei envoys left the west gate of Handan City and headed straight for Wei. In the afternoon, they changed their route to Wulu City, where Ji Jian and the few soldiers he brought were already waiting.
Starting to arrange specific matters, Ji Jie ordered: "Sister Qing, you stay here with one hundred and sixty dead soldiers and are responsible for taking care of them; I will lead forty people into the place where the fake Wang Zheng is detained, and make arrangements to rob people."
The situation attracts the attention of the defenders; Ji Jian takes the opportunity and you lead people to find Zhao Ji through the tunnel, take this jade pendant to prove your identity, and then take her back here, be sure to pay attention to safety!"
Qin Qing nodded, Ji Jian replied "Yes," and the action began.
Ji Jie asked the forty people who were following him to hide in a hidden place a hundred meters away from where Wang Zizheng was being held. He sneaked in quietly and agreed that after the fire started, these people would shoot arrows at the burning place inside. The defenders who didn't know why
They couldn't figure out the situation for a while, so they could only take a defensive position and not dare to send troops easily. After Ji Jian succeeded, they quickly withdrew.
Ji Jie quickly brought down a defender and exchanged clothes with him. It only took him a quarter of an hour to reach the small courtyard where Ying Zheng was imprisoned.
Fatty'er sat in front of the oil lamp and looked at the bamboo slips intently. This boy is quite studious, but it's a pity that you are a fake. Otherwise, I would consider rescuing you together.
With a thought, dozens of torches flew out from the Sumeru Ring and were lined up. Ji Jie lit them one by one and threw them in.
"No, there are assassins setting fire..." Someone yelled, and the surrounding defenders instantly exploded. Before they could understand what was going on, the overwhelming number of arrows came from nowhere, and the person who was hit by the arrow was shot.
They all fell to the ground.
"Don't panic, shrink your defenses and stabilize your position!" A school captain gave the order, and the defenders acted according to the order. They quickly set up shields to block the incoming cold arrows.
The defenders on Zhao Ji's side spontaneously came over for reinforcements. In their view, Wang Zizheng was far more important than Zhao Ji in the dungeon. Things were just as Ji Jie expected. Ji Jian and his entourage appeared in the dungeon without anyone noticing.
In the middle, he took Zhao Ji back along the original route, destroying the tunnel while retreating.
Zhao Jun, who had stabilized his position, began to counterattack with bows and arrows. Both sides suffered casualties in the exchange of fire.
Time was almost up, Ji Jie decisively led the remaining dead soldiers to retreat from the arranged route, and the journey went smoothly.
Li Mu and Sima Shang arrived almost at the same time. Li Mu's first words were: "How is Wang Zizheng?"
After receiving the news that Wang Zizheng was safe and sound, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Sima Shang said: "It was a false alarm. Fortunately, the guards were strengthened..."
"No!" Li Mu thought that things shouldn't be so simple. When it came to robbing people, why did they only set off a handful of fire and shoot arrows from a distance? This was so unreasonable. He turned around and asked, "Zhao Ji was attacked over there.
Yet?"
"Marshal Qi, no!"
"It's bad, this is an attack from the east to the west!" Li Mu ran towards the small courtyard where Zhao Ji was imprisoned.
Outside Wulu City, three groups of people gathered together. Except for the forty dead soldiers who followed Ji Jie who suffered some casualties, everyone else was fine.
"Sister Qing, you and Ji Jian take everyone to the west, I will be responsible for breaking up the rear!"
"How many people are left for you?"
"I can do it by myself!" Ji Jie saw Qin Qing's unwilling expression and said anxiously: "Hurry up, no one can escape if it's too late! Since I was able to escape from Zhao State unscathed last time, this time
It can be done once, as long as you run to the territory of Wei State, you will be safe!"
"Well, be careful!" Qin Qing made this decision with great difficulty.
"Take care, Your Majesty!" Ji Jian has long developed the habit of obeying orders. As long as what Ji Jie says, he will have no objection and complete it to the letter.
Zhao Ji looked grateful. After getting on her horse, she said to Ji Jie: "I will not forget the promise I made. Master, be careful. You must come alive to see your slave!"
Ji Jie smiled bitterly. I have no intention of flirting with you at this time. Let’s go!
In the dungeon, Li Mu and Sima Shang were dumbfounded. The place was completely empty, and there was no trace of Zhao Ji anywhere. A round hole left on the wall explained the problem.
"Quickly, chase!" Li Mu ordered, and several soldiers filed in. After a while, they came back. The tunnel in front was blocked and they could not move forward.
Sima Shang shattered the square table with one palm, gritted his teeth and said, "It must be someone from Wei who did it. I will lead people to chase them immediately. They can't run far!"
"General Sima, be more careful and remember the lessons learned last time!" Li Mu warned. Being able to implement such a perfect plan meant that the Wei people had already arranged their retreat and set up an ambush on the only way to be chased.
Li Mu overestimated Ji Jie. He only had a few people at his disposal, so how could he have the experience to set up an ambush? Even if he had, they would have only ambushed him.
Along the way, Ji Jie collected many large and small stones and put them all into the Sumeru Ring. He stopped in front of a valley that Qinqing and the others had just passed, and climbed up to a high place using his hands and feet, preparing to surprise the pursuers.
s attack.
Sima Shang ran at the front. When he saw the valley, he promptly sent scouts to investigate, but he was still so cautious.
The scouts reported that there was no ambush, and the large group of troops moved in. As soon as they entered the valley, they heard a roar coming from above. He shouted: "No, there is an ambush. Don't panic, everyone, find a place to hide!"
The stones he picked up were not enough to kill so many Zhao soldiers. Ji Jie knew this very well, so he used most of the stones to build a stone wall to block the way of the pursuing soldiers.
"Destroy the stone wall for me and continue chasing..." Before Sima Shang could finish his words, a crossbow arrow hit his right arm, causing him to fall off his horse in severe pain.
