Chapter 155 The operation failed again
The unlucky official who was dragged to the wilderness found himself in an unknown place when he woke up, surrounded by darkness without any light.
He fumbled and managed to climb out of the carriage, but was frightened to the point where he peed his pants at the sound of wild wolves around him.
But instead of waiting in the carriage to feed the wolves, it is better to escape for your life.
After making the decision, the officials had no ability to discern the direction in the darkness, so they could only walk randomly, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
In this way, after walking all night, the official uniform on his body had been scraped into strips by the branches, and could not even cover his body.
The skin on his body and face was also broken by countless falls on the road.
It wasn't until almost noon the next day that the servant in the official's house found him.
When I saw him, the official's head was covered with branches and straw sticks, and his body was hung with rags that could no longer be called clothes. He also exuded the smell of urine. His miserable appearance made him look like a beggar.
The young boy who came to look for him did not dare to recognize his master at first. It was not until he slapped him in the face and cursed him a few times that he dared to confirm that the beggar in front of him was really his master. .
"Oh, sir, why have you become like this? Quick, quick, quick, put on this cloak."
Several young men hurriedly helped their master get into the new carriage. This official's unfortunate experience came to an end.
Different from the officials' embarrassment, Gu Nian and Xiao Mobai spent a rare whole day together today.
Because the Eighth Prince heard the news that Xiao Mobai was healthy, he had been busy dealing with the follow-up of this matter all day long, comforting his officials, and did not use the capital's troops for the time being.
The fact that Xiao Mobai was healthy made the Eighth Prince very unexpected, and he also clearly understood that the news in the palace was not completely accurate.
However, what made the Eighth Prince somewhat relieved was that the news in the palace was inaccurate. Fortunately, he also entrusted someone to listen to the story.
Tinglou has always been prestigious in the world. Therefore, the Eighth Prince firmly believed that the news sent by Tinglou and the others would definitely help him deal with Xiao Mobai.
The Eighth Prince never imagined that Tinglou, whom he had high hopes for, would lay traps for him one after another.
Soon, Tinglou's first trap was delivered into the hands of the Eighth Prince.
The Eighth Prince held a note in his hand, and what was written on the note turned out to be Xiao Mobai's deployment of troops in the capital.
However, these troop deployments are not Xiao Mobai's important deployments. Even if they are destroyed, it will not affect the situation.
The Eighth Prince was overjoyed when he got the note. He didn't expect Tinglou to be so useful and that he could even understand Xiao Mobai's troop deployment in the capital in such detail.
In order to gain the trust of the Eighth Prince, the information given by Tinglou was indeed accurate. But on the other hand, Tinglou had already informed Xiao Mobai that the Eighth Prince had learned about Xiao Mobai's troop deployment.
At this point, Tinglou didn't need to say anything more, Xiao Mobai would take this matter as an opportunity and lay a trap for the Eighth Prince.
Even those troops were insignificant and used to add icing on the cake, but since Tinglou provided him with this opportunity, he naturally would not let it go.
As for why Tinglou showed favor to him, Xiao Mobai didn't have time to investigate yet. He just wanted to use all his energy to deal with the Eighth Prince. When the Eighth Prince's matter came to an end, he would investigate Tinglou's matter.
As Gu Nian expected, there was only the slightest abnormality in Tinglou's movements, which aroused Xiao Mobai's suspicion.
However, Gu Nian had already made plans for this.
When the matter is settled, Tinglou can just express his wish to join Xiao Mobai. Anyway, she and Xiao Mobai are one husband and wife, and they will never be separated in the future.
Tinglou kept a close eye on the Eighth Prince, and notified Xiao Mobai in time when he made any move.
That night, a force under the Eighth Prince prepared to launch an attack on a force in Xiao Mo and Bai Jingzhong.
Outside a house in a busy city in the capital, a general with a scar on his face was hiding not far away with a group of soldiers.
General Scar and the soldiers around him sighed: "I didn't expect that the prince would deploy his troops in a mansion in such a busy city. It's really unexpected."
"Yes, this location is indeed unexpected."
The general and the soldiers around him were talking while closely observing the movements in the house.
After most of the lights in the house went out, General Scar waited cautiously for a while before gradually approaching with a group of soldiers.
After approaching the mansion, General Scar carefully asked his men to jump to the roof to observe, and saw the patrol team in the courtyard.
After observing for a while and confirming the patrol's action route, the subordinate came down to report to General Scar.
In fact, these scenes were arranged by Ye Zhao specifically for General Scar to see.
Behind them, someone was watching their movements closely.
General Scar nodded with satisfaction after hearing his subordinate's report. Start planning your next actions.
General Scar arranged for his subordinates to be divided into several teams and sneaked into the mansion.
When they first entered, everything went smoothly until a few teams went deep into the mansion, and the surrounding environment suddenly lit up.
Xiao Mobai's men held torches and lanterns and surrounded General Scar and all the soldiers.
Canglong's men took them all down without saying a word.
On the next day, the Eighth Prince learned that none of the team sent out had returned. After sending people to inquire about the news, he learned that after the team entered Xiao Mobai's territory, they never came out again.
In this situation, needless to say, the Eighth Prince also knew that the entire army had been destroyed.
After receiving such news, the Eighth Prince was so angry that he smashed the tea cup in his hand. Unexpectedly, if they were deployed in advance, the entire army would be wiped out.
The Eighth Prince just felt that his men were stupid at this time. He never expected that it was Xiao Mobai's advance deployment that led to the current result.
"How stupid! You can even be caught like this! If you go find someone, you must silence him. Don't let Xiao Mobai know our next actions."
The butler on the side received the order from the Eighth Prince and went down to deploy manpower to kill General Scar.
I originally thought that this time the matter was [-]% certain, so the Eighth Prince specially sent a general in an important position to carry out this mission. The purpose was to achieve victory and give them a good start for their next actions.
But I didn't expect that such an action could fail. General Scar knows a lot about them, so he cannot be allowed to reveal too many things in Xiao Mobai's hands. This person must not be alive.
