"This is the general plan. Is there anything else you want to ask?"
"There is no problem at the moment, but there is a little confusion." Shen Cha took a step forward, "Let me summarize what Uncle Ning Wang meant, okay?"
"Okay." His Highness Prince Ning nodded, "Come on!"
"First of all, what we need to do now is to let our eyeliners continue to win the trust of Wanyan Ping and Wanyan Qingmu, but this process must be gradual and cannot be rushed. In this process, we must find every opportunity to persuade Wanyan Ping and Wanyan Aoki, don’t go all-in, don’t you worry about running out of firewood, and don’t you ruin your chance of making a comeback just by getting excited?”
"Yes." His Highness Prince Ning nodded, "Continue."
"And a series of matters preparing for a comeback are left to our people?" Seeing His Highness Prince Ning nod again, Shen Cha continued, "But this is actually not very easy, no matter Wanyan Ping or Wanyan Qingmu, they should have prepared their own escape route. The so-called Cunning Rabbit Three Caves, they are all very shrewd people. If it is confirmed that we and the Yelu family supported Wanyanxi to rise to power, they will not choose to be tough after the first failure."
"You mean that they have already chosen their retreat, right?"
"Yeah!" Shen Cha nodded, closing his eyes and recalling, "I remember my people once told me that Wanyan Qingmu also had several properties in the city. No one knew about it before the siege. Later, because of They found the secret room in the palace and discovered the tunnel inside the secret room, which led to the outside of the palace."
"I know this, Xiaocha told me this." Song Jue took a step forward, "The secret passage leads to a villa of Wanyan Qingmu. This villa is used as a theater. On the surface, it is for listening to music. The place for opera, listening to books, and juggling is actually a place for collecting information. Half of the people in this garden are craftsmen, responsible for finding out information for Wanyan Qingmu. However, although this courtyard belongs to Wanyan Qingmu, , but the real master behind it is the Qinglian Sect. The information Wanyan Qingmu gets from here must be passed on to the Qinglian Sect. Among them, the one who helps the Qinglian Sect and Wanyan Qingmu make the handover is Wanyan Ping Her aunt. At the same time, it was also her aunt who wanted to blow up Wanyan Ping through a secret passage filled with gunpowder."
"Understood." His Highness Prince Ning nodded, "In other words, they have actually prepared a way out, but we don't know it yet?" Seeing Shen Cha nod slightly, he sighed softly, "Although it's not what I thought, it's not a big problem."
"It's not a big problem?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "How do you say it's not a big problem? We don't know where they found a place, whether they will live in this place permanently, or whether they are in three burrows. We can't even arrange ourselves in advance. There are people watching nearby, isn’t this a big problem?”
"Then do you think the two brothers from the Yelu family and the pair of brothers can think of the problem you are thinking of?"
"Relying on them to solve it?" Shen Cha shook his head gently, "This is not good. The initiative is not in our own hands, and we will always be controlled by others. I don't like this feeling very much."
"Actually, there is a compromise that can meet both Chenchen's idea and Xiaocha's requirements." Wu Qingruo looked at His Highness Prince Ning and then at Shen Cha, "You two can think about it first. Don’t mess around, think about what can be done.”
Shen Cha half-squinted her eyes and thought about the letters that A Piao and A Rou had sent to her before. She remembered the contents of the letters clearly. Some of the news was what they urgently needed at the time, and some were just gossip. In these gossips, they mentioned some points that they didn't pay attention to at the time.
For example, almost ten months ago, A Piao wrote lightly in a letter that Wanyan Ping ran away secretly one night without taking anyone with her or calling anyone in advance. After receiving the greeting, Ah Piao and Hei Lu'er were frantic with anxiety, but they didn't dare to search in a big way, so they could only sneak out their manpower to search.
Fortunately, Yiqing Prefecture did not have any regulations such as curfew at that time, so the manpower they sent did not attract attention. About half an hour later, they were in a relatively remote alley in the southwest of Yiqing Prefecture. Traces of Wan Yanping were found.
Because they were among the people who searched, they paid special attention to the place where Wanyanping finally disappeared, which was an inconspicuous small courtyard at the end of the alley.
Shen Cha suddenly opened his eyes and realized immediately that the small courtyard at the end of the alley should be the escape route and the final destination that Wan Yanping had prepared for himself.
However, the only thing she dared not confirm now was whether the yard was still there after the fire.
"What comes to mind?" His Highness Prince Ning saw Shen Cha's expression and asked curiously, "Tell me and listen."
Shen Cha explained his guess, and then sighed softly and said, "But I'm not sure whether this courtyard is still there. As far as I know, Wan Yanping has a family in Yiqing Mansion. There are at least two private residences, one is the former palace, and the other is this courtyard. However, the palace has been burned down in the fire three months ago and is currently being rebuilt. I am afraid it is not suitable to use it as a secret place. As for that small courtyard, I really can’t guarantee it.”
"If you say so, I have a bold guess." His Highness Prince Ning blinked, "Is there a possibility that perhaps all the escape routes they prepared have been destroyed in the fire? "
