Chapter 377 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (One Hundred and Twenty-six)
Liang Sheng: "This Ji Mingjie is both timid and arrogant. He brought enough people with him this time, and the old concubine also gave him a few Wu people to assist him. He thinks he is fully prepared and will not be caught by me."
Cui Li: "In fact, he acts impulsively and is far less foresighted than the current King of Ji. His ascension to the throne may not be a bad thing for our Liang State."
Liang Sheng: "More importantly, he has little affection for the Wu clan, nor does he believe in their culture. He believes that the Wu clan is always playing tricks and deceiving the world."
Cui Li: "You even found out this? Ji Mingjie must have hidden it very well, not daring his father and others to discover his intentions."
Cui Li understood immediately that it was impossible that only Ji and Qi had sent spies to Liang. Liang must also have intelligence networks in other countries.
Liang Sheng: "Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. The current Wu clan leader is over seventy years old. She doesn't like Ji Mingjie and values Ji Mingyue more. I think the old clan leader had already noticed the death of the green worm. But I was surprised that Ji Mingjie came in person."
Cui Li: "Maybe he really values his sister Ji Mingyue, and by the way, he also wants to test the strength of our Liang State."
Liang Sheng: "Tonight, he will receive the great gift I send him."
Cui Li looked at him curiously, but Liang Sheng kept it a secret, smiling without saying anything.
Cui Li: "Brother Sheng, please tell Li'er!"
Liang Sheng couldn't stand Cui Li's coquettishness and said it in a few words.
Late at night, when the Dali Temple was undergoing a shift change and the defense was unoccupied, a group of men in black approached the Dali Temple.
Armed with weapons, they sneaked into the cell quickly and agilely.
"The princess is imprisoned in the deepest cell. Everyone, split up."
A group of people acted separately, some stayed outside, and some rushed in to rescue the princess.
The leader stood outside the cell. Through the huge gap in the wooden cell, he saw the woman imprisoned in the deepest part, tied to the rack, with her head bowed and unconscious. He hurriedly whispered, "Princess, wake up! Wu Meng is here to save you!"
Seeing that the princess did not respond, he quickly chopped open the cell door with a knife and rushed in to rescue the princess.
Wu Meng stood two meters away, his face under the mask showing excitement.
Suddenly, the woman looked up at the group of men in black, and said with a smile: "You are finally here. I have been waiting for a long time."
The leader, Wu Meng, felt his pupils shrink and he immediately shouted, "It's a trap! Retreat!"
The woman quickly raised her foot and pressed the switch on the ground. She suddenly disappeared in front of everyone, followed by a wall of arrows.
"Chief, be careful!"
Several men in black stepped forward to block Wu Meng and protected him as he left.
The sound of soldiers fighting could also be heard outside.
Wu Meng gripped his weapon tightly and retreated quickly.
A quarter of an hour later, the three people escaped from the layers of blockade.
"Chief, you go back first and inform the Crown Prince. The two of us will cover your retreat."
Wu Meng heard the pursuit and sighed, "Take care! If you're still alive, contact us using the agreed signal."
"Take care, Chief!"
Wu Meng saluted them as a warrior of the Wu clan, jumped onto the house, and quickly disappeared in front of the two men.
The two looked at each other and took another route.
Wu Meng sensed that there were no pursuers behind him, and realized that the two men had led the pursuers away. He identified the direction and finally dared to return to the prince's residence.
Ji Mingjie was waiting for news. Seeing that Wu Meng was the only one who returned, he hurriedly asked, "Wu Meng, where is the imperial sister? Where did the others go?"
Wu Meng knelt on one knee and said solemnly:
"Your Highness, we've fallen into a trap! Our spies had previously reported that the princess was imprisoned in the Dali Temple. When we arrived, we discovered that the prison cell wasn't actually occupied by the princess; it was a trap set by the Daliang Emperor! Only three of us escaped. The other two were there to distract the pursuers. I wonder if they're dead or alive now."
On this trip, Prince Ji brought with him more than a hundred people, all of whom were elites who could fight ten people at a time. However, as soon as they arrived at the capital of Daliang, they lost thirty-four people!
Lost the first battle!
