"Your Majesty, the other brothers are fine. We lost half of our brothers this time."
Zhou Cang looked at Wang Lin and responded with a sigh.
"I was negligent this time, and I feel sorry for my dead brothers!"
After hearing Zhou Cang's words, Wang Lin blamed himself.
"My lord, this is also unexpected. I don't blame you for your negligence!"
"But fortunately, Brother Malie and the people at Sticky Rod came to help us, and our casualties have been very small."
"..."
Seeing Wang Lin blaming himself, everyone began to comfort him.
In fact, they all knew that this time, Malie and his men were the ones who had to sacrifice the most.
As for the people at the sticky pole, they should be pretty good.
Their skills are good.
It is almost impossible to keep them.
"Your Majesty, how is the situation with Qu Yin?"
Zhou Cang deliberately changed the topic and looked at Wang Lin and asked.
"Qu Yin is the same as Wu Youzhi. They are both greedy for life and afraid of death. The difference is that Qu Yin is not the kind of competitive person. We retreated when our assassination was blocked, but he did not send troops to pursue us."
Wang Lin was still very happy when she mentioned this matter.
Because of his arrangements here, there were not many casualties.
Comparing the two aspects, it is generally acceptable.
"Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
Seeing that Wang Lin's expression had recovered, Zhou Cang asked hurriedly.
They had thought about what Wang Lin wanted to do along the way, but they couldn't figure out Wang Lin's true intention.
Logically speaking, such a high-profile action is unwise.
But at this time, Wang Lin did just that.
"Zhou Cang, do you still remember that Qu Yin went to Wu Youzhi's place?"
Wang Lin did not respond directly to his words, but asked a question.
"Remember!"
Zhou Cang nodded and continued: "They should be discussing how to deal with us!"
"Wrong! They won't discuss how to deal with us! Jingfang has already told them how to deal with us."
Wang Lin grinned, then looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "So they will never run so far to discuss how to deal with us! You know, this is also a credit! Who do you think will give up this credit? !”
"My lord, what you are saying is..."
"Then why did they gather this time?"
"..."
After listening to Wang Lin's words, everyone started discussing.
"My lord, they have other plans!"
Zhou Cang's eyes lit up and he punched in the air: "They are deliberately confusing us!"
"Hmph, that's right! That's right! What they discussed this time has nothing to do with the people in the dungeon! I already knew it when I was in the dungeon a few days ago!"
"So! We attacked them separately. It seemed that we were assassinating and deliberately falling into their trap. In fact, we already understood their intentions!"
Wang Lin grinned and then continued: "The spies we sent out have already reported back. Wu Guang's troops will arrive outside Qiushui County tonight!"
"Your Majesty, we will definitely give them a blow this time!"
When Zhou Cang heard Wang Lin's words, he couldn't help but said: "We are taking a two-pronged approach! They never dreamed that we would guess their true intentions!"
"That's right! They intend to lure us into taking the bait, so let's take the bait and show them! When they relax their vigilance, as long as they dare to take action, we can take them all down!"
Wang Lin sneered, gritted his teeth and said, "This time, I want to give the Ma family brothers and the people of Liangzhou a bad breath!"
"My lord! Wonderful! So wonderful!"
The more Zhou Cang listened, the more excited he became.
From the initial doubts about Wang Lin, to the continuous praise now.
The people around him also understood Wang Lin's intention.
They admired Wang Lin's strategy with admiration.
"Okay, everyone, spend the night repairing! Leave the rest to me and General Wu Guang!"
Wang Lin said, immediately stood up and looked out the door.
"Your Majesty, what are you..."
Zhou Cang asked suspiciously when he saw Wang Lin getting up.
"General Wu, he should be here. I will take someone to the appointed place and wait for him."
Wang Lin smiled and looked at everyone: "Don't leave the city, just rest here!"
"My lord, no, let me follow you. If Qu Yin and Wu Youzhi's people join forces, then..."
When Zhou Cang heard that Wang Lin was leaving the city, he immediately became anxious and hurried forward to stop Wang Lin.
"It doesn't matter. I have a commander here. They haven't done anything tonight. You should have a good rest. In addition, help me take care of Miss Tao!"
Wang Lin had made up his mind and refused to listen to their persuasion at all, so he waved his hands and made arrangements.
"Your Majesty..."
"Let us go with you!"
"..."
Everyone was obviously still a little worried, so they asked for help one after another.
"No need, you guys have a good rest, this is a military order!"
Wang Lin straightened his expression, then looked at the people who had been following him tonight, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go!"
"Yes! Brother Zhou!"
"As you command!"
"..."
Everyone respectfully accepted the order, and immediately followed Wang Lin and set off in a mighty manner.
Zhou Cang and the brothers he brought back, as well as everyone who came back from Qu Mansion, saw this and had no choice but to stay.
They know Wang Lin very well, and as long as he decides something, there is basically no need to refute it.
"Brother Zhou, do we really want to stay?"
"How about we follow him secretly?"
"..."
Several people looked at Zhou Cang and asked worriedly.
"No need, I think the prince is completely sure about it, so you don't have to worry."
Zhou Cang sighed, and then arranged: "We are divided into two teams and take turns to protect Miss Tao's safety!"
Zhou Cang suddenly remembered something and then made arrangements.
"yes!"
"Yes, Brother Zhou!"
"..."
Everyone took the order one after another and then dispersed.
…
at this time.
Outside Qiushui County.
A cavalry team galloped away towards the mountains and forests in the southwest.
The leader among them is Wang Lin.
"Your Majesty, the spies are here to report that General Wu's troops are less than ten miles away from us!"
A guard hurried forward and reported respectfully.
"Okay! Brothers, let's do it! Welcome General Wu!"
Wang Lin nodded, immediately urged his horse and whip, and headed straight for the official road ahead.
Within a quarter of an hour, Wang Lin had already tightened the reins of his horse and looked into the distance.
His procession had stopped.
But on the ground, the clear sound of horse hoof business can still be heard.
"Your Majesty, General Wu's troops have arrived!"
The guard commander beside Wang Lin looked up and said excitedly.
"Okay! Now, it's time to fight back!"
Wang Lin nodded with satisfaction, his eyes full of heat, staring at the team in the distance.
