Chapter 478 It's all up to you
Sikong Jin rested her chin on her hand, tracing her long, slender fingers across the map for a while before speaking, "Hmm, this is indeed a bit of a headache. However, we can hold back for now and let Di Beizun's people break in first. With his cooperation, we can then take action."
"Brother, I came here tonight mainly to see your attitude. Now that you've agreed, I have no more worries. You know my biggest concern is not being able to win you over with Ji Wuge, although I admit I've had this thought for a while!"
As Sikong Jin spoke, she couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her nose again, and shrugged as if she had breathed a sigh of relief.
“We’re not some blindly loyal and corrupt people. If Ji Wuge weren’t being controlled by others, to be honest, I would have rebelled long ago! I’m not going to put up with this kind of bullshit! In Big Brother’s eyes, your lives are much more important than these so-called Great Yong Dynasty!”
Tang Jingyao's rare outburst of profanity was surprisingly pleasing to Sikong Jin. She gratefully patted Tang Jingyao's shoulder and slowly stood up. "Brother, no need for thanks. Once we rescue that Ji Wuge guy, we'll drink three hundred cups together! How's he doing now? Oh, and could you help me confirm the location of the Ninth Princess and my mother's imprisonment?"
"Don't worry, I've already asked my secret guards to check. I believe we'll get news soon. You should settle in for the next few days and wait for the right opportunity."
Tang Jingyao replied.
"Okay, I understand. By the way, brother, this operation requires a very meticulous plan, so I also need to spend some time making arrangements, so..."
Sikong Jin hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Tang Jingyao smiled, "It's alright, don't worry, I know what you're thinking! Go ahead and do your work without worry. I'll find a way to inform Ji Wuge. Also, as soon as I find out the whereabouts of the Ninth Princess and Madam Sikong, I'll send someone to tell you immediately. By the way, are you staying at the Hilton right now?"
Sikong Jin nodded, "Yes, Hilton has a darkroom, which will make things easier for me. I'll come find you after I've arranged the details."
"Alright, I'll follow your arrangements. However, you need to hurry. I estimate that Yukichi won't be able to wait much longer. His army is putting a lot of pressure on you at Hangu Pass, isn't it?"
"Yes, I know. Don't worry, brother. We definitely won't lose this time. Five days. I'll come find you in five days. Then, wait for my good news."
As Sikong Jin spoke, she pulled up the hood of her cloak, completely concealing herself under the black cloak, revealing only her black eyes. "Alright, it's getting late, I have to go back. Any news can be sent directly to Hilton."
Tang Jingyao nodded. "Okay, Ajin, be careful. There are spies everywhere in the city now. Don't let Xing Qiyu find out, or things will get messed up!"
"Don't worry, tracking me won't be easy! Let's go!"
The last sentence drifted away in the cool breeze, and Sikong Jin was no longer at the door. The lantern on the table swayed for a moment before returning to stillness.
However, just as Sikong Jin's figure disappeared, a light footstep sounded outside the door. Tang Jingyao knew who it was almost without hearing it, and quickly tucked the table into his sleeve. At this moment, Lan Zixi's slender figure slowly stepped into the room.
"Brother Jing? Why are you still busy so late?"
Lan Zixi waited and waited in the room for a long time, but Tang Jingyao did not return. She was worried and came over to check on him.
"Xi'er, why aren't you asleep yet? Where's the little one?"
"Lin'er went to bed early! I came to see if you were planning to stay up all night again?"
Lan Zixi walked towards Tang Jingyao and, with her sharp eyes, noticed the two teacups on the coffee table. She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Hmm? So late, are there guests? Just now?"
Tang Jingyao followed her gaze and glanced at her, then sighed helplessly. He had originally wanted to hide it, but since his wife was so beautiful and intelligent, he readily admitted, "Yes, a distinguished guest just visited, which surprised me quite a bit."
Upon hearing this, Lan Zixi frowned, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Distinguished guest? Who is it? A distinguished guest?"
"Guess who this is! It's someone you'd probably love to meet too."
Tang Jingyao narrowed his eyes at Lan Zixi, and said with a half-smile.
"Do I really want to see him too?"
Lan Zixi frowned and thought for a while. Soon, a glint of light flashed in her eyes, and she said with some delight, "You don't mean that guy, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Jingyao smiled, a hint of pride in his eyes, and said, "My wife is indeed incredibly clever! That's right, it's that guy!"
Of course, I know who Lan Zixi is referring to as the guy she's talking about.
"He's back! It was so dangerous, and he actually came back? Doesn't he want to live?"
Lan Zixi frowned, somewhat puzzled.
"That's him. It's good that way. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do. He's full of clever ideas. Who knows, he might actually be able to rescue them. That way, there won't be so much pressure later."
"Pressure? Brother Jing, what are you plotting?"
Lan Zixi blinked and asked in confusion.
"It's nothing. You should rest well these few days. In a few days, I will have someone send you and Lin'er out of the city to stay at your maternal grandfather's house for a few days. Don't say anything more. This is my decision. The capital city will be very turbulent in the next few days. Once you and Lin'er leave, I will have no more worries."
Tang Jingyao's tone was unusually serious and unyielding, and Lan Zixi dared not say anything more, because she saw that Tang Jingyao's expression was unusually stern, completely different from usual, and she must have thought it through carefully.
Although Tang Jingyao usually doted on and cherished her, Lan Zixi couldn't disobey him on matters of principle, otherwise...
After a moment of silence, Lan Zixi nodded gently and whispered, "I understand, Brother Jing!"
Tang Jingyao took a breath before reaching out to embrace Lan Zixi, gently comforting her, "Xi'er, I had no choice but to do this. I hope you can understand. After this storm passes, the world will truly be at peace. So, just be patient for now. That day shouldn't be too far away."
"I know, Brother Jing! I'm also proud of you for thinking and doing the same thing! They both deserve it!"
Lan Zixi smiled and gently hugged him.
"Alright, it's getting late. Go back and rest early. I still have a few memorials to review, otherwise Lin'er will start making a fuss when he wakes up!"
Lan Zixi shook her head. "No, he just fell asleep. He won't wake up so easily. I'll stay with you, Brother Jing!"
