"Don't worry, Your Highness. Huang Rong won't be able to escape this time." The few of them replied in unison. They were all experts among experts. Last time, they had let Huang Rong escape from the encirclement. Although Wan Yanliang did not blame them, they still felt that they had lost face. They wanted to regain their face this time.
Among the three of them, Ouyang Feng had an old grudge against Guo Jing and Huang Rong. From his point of view, there was no reason for him not to do his best. Qiu Qianren's desire for fame was the most important. He had completely pledged his allegiance to Wanyan Liang. For the sake of glory, splendor, wealth, and rank, he would do his best to show his worth. As for Murong Bo, who appeared as Old Monk Li, he was actually the least concerned of the three.
"It's still unknown whether Tang Kuo Bian is in Huang Rong's hands or not. Your Highness shouldn't be fooled by her bluff." Ouyang Feng didn't want Wanyan Liang to agree to give Huang Rong the antidote. After all, it would be easy to find out that he had given Wanyan Liang a fake antidote.
"I had the same suspicions at first," Wan Yanliang shook his head and pointed to a strange mark on the notice, "However, this mark is the Tang Kuo Family's Clan Leader's Seal, which is in Tang Kuo Bian's hands. It's impossible for an outsider to copy it. Furthermore, Tang Kuo Bian has been missing for the past few days and I've sent out all my men to no avail. It seems that only by falling into Huang Rong's hands will he be able to fool our eyes."
"I see!" The others suddenly understood. But even Wanyan Liang didn't know that Tang Kuo Bian had told Song QingShu about the Clan Leader's Seal and a series of other secrets before he died so that Song QingShu could better disguise himself. Even the sly Wanyan Liang couldn't see through it.
"But why did that brat Huang Rong set the time for tomorrow and told us the location?" Even though Huang Rong had been someone's wife for many years, the mischievous young girl from back then had left a huge psychological shadow in Qiu Qianren's heart, so he couldn't change his mind for a while.
"It's very strange. They gave us a day's time. Doesn't that give us more time to prepare?" Wan Yanliang pondered for a moment. "But it's still beneficial to us …"
"Huang Rong is full of tricks, there must be a trap," Ouyang Feng's face darkened. Thinking of the suffering he had suffered under her hands, his expression became extremely ugly, "She purposely told us the time and place in advance, I'm afraid she purposely wanted us to set up an ambush there. When the time comes, she can change the location at the last minute and restrain a large number of our men without wasting a single soldier."
Wanyan Liang nodded and said, "What Mister Ouyang said makes sense, but I can't not make arrangements for that place …" After pondering for a moment, he made a decision and said, "Let's do it this way. First, we'll set up an ambush in the vicinity. Then, we'll secretly leave a few troops behind for emergencies."
Following this, Wanyan Liang gathered his subordinates and began to discuss how to set up their defenses and how to cast their net. After a whole day, he had come up with a plan to deal with all the problems that could arise the next day. He thought that his plan was flawless.
…
The next day, Wanyan Liang appeared at the appointed place at the appointed time. However, his expression was very ugly because he had already waited for two hours without seeing even a shadow of Huang Rong.
"So it really isn't here …" Wanyan Liang's heart was not as angry as it showed on his face. In reality, this was all within his expectations. If Huang Rong really appeared here, he would be disappointed. A stupid woman, no matter how beautiful she was, would not be able to conquer her.
"Whoosh!"
Just as he was deep in thought, the sound of something cutting through the air could be heard. Wanyan Liang looked up and saw a cold arrow flying towards him. However, he did not show any signs of panic. The imperial bodyguards beside him had already reacted and raised their swords to cut down the arrow.
Wanyan Liang's gaze shifted to the direction where the arrow had come from. Some of the imperial bodyguards had already rushed in that direction, but he did not hold out much hope. If the other party was so easily caught, then all his previous plans would have been in vain.
"Reporting to Your Highness, there is a piece of cloth on the arrow!" One of the sharp-eyed imperial bodyguards had already noticed the words on the arrow.
"Present it!"
Wanyan Liang looked at the words on the cloth and couldn't help but sneer, "As expected!"
On the cloth, it was written that the location of the transaction would be changed to another place. The time limit was half an hour. Calculating the distance between the two places, half an hour was just enough time to get there.
"Let's go, let's change the location." Wanyan Liang waved his hand and turned his horse around, rushing towards the new location. As for the problem of soldiers surrounding the new location, he was not worried at all. Last night, his subordinates had already considered this situation, so he had divided his troops into more than ten groups and had them spread out across the Kaifeng region. This was to ensure that no matter where Huang Rong appeared, there would be troops surrounding her in the shortest amount of time possible.
"Compared to this prince's scheming, you are still too inexperienced." Wanyan Liang's lips curled into a sinister smile. He had already set up an inescapable net in the Kaifeng region, ensuring that not even a fly would be able to escape. In addition, Ouyang Feng and the other experts were always by his side. As long as Huang Rong appeared, she would not be able to escape even if she grew wings. Thinking that he would finally be able to taste this world famous beauty, Wanyan Liang could not hide his excitement.
After a few hours, Wanyan Liang could no longer smile, because he had already been led around in a big circle by Huang Rong. He had already followed the directions on the arrow to five or six different locations, but Huang Rong still had no intention of appearing. Every time, it was a cold arrow with information about the next location.
The only thing that Wanyan Liang was glad about was that these places were still within the control of his subordinates. After moving to two more places without stopping for half a day, the only ones who could still follow Wanyan Liang were Ouyang Feng and a few other Grandmaster Level masters. Only his personal guards could follow Wanyan Liang.
Wanyan Liang's personal bodyguards were all carefully selected elite warriors, and with the special characteristics of the Jurchen race, they were also elite cavalrymen. This was why they could not leave his side even for a moment.
However, Wanyan Liang did not mind. After all, the Kaifeng region was the territory of the Jin Kingdom, and Huang Rong's side could not have too many people. If he wanted to keep her here, just the people by his side were enough. Moreover, as long as the location was confirmed, the nearest soldiers would be able to arrive in the shortest time possible.
Of course, Wanyan Liang was still very unhappy about being led around like a monkey. He secretly swore that once he caught Huang Rong, he would not stop until he had f * cked her until she could not get out of bed for three days.
"Downwind Pavilion?" For some reason, when Wanyan Liang saw the latest information about the location, he had a feeling that this was the place!
The Downwind Pavilion was located at the intersection of several major roads, and could be said to be accessible in all directions. It was an excellent place to escape after an incident. However, Wanyan Liang secretly sneered. Yesterday, his aides had studied the map of the vicinity of the Kaifeng city several times, and this place was one of the places they speculated that Huang Rong would choose. He had already set up an ambush within a radius of dozens of miles, and as soon as he gave the order, all the escape routes would be surrounded by an inescapable net. Not to mention people, even birds would not be able to escape.
Of course, this place was too accessible, and there were also several other possible locations for ambushes, so Wanyan Liang could not really completely surround this place. Because of the terrain, it was impossible to send people to guard the mountain behind the Downwind Pavilion. However, there was no need to guard it, because the mountain seemed to be boundless, but in fact, it was a dangerous place. At the top of the mountain was a cliff, and no matter how good one's Lightness Skill was, if he fell, he would be smashed to pieces.
However, none of this was known to the locals, and Wanyan Liang only knew about it when he looked through the county records and maps of the Kaifeng city.
"Even a wise man will make a mistake!" Wanyan Liang thought to himself. It seemed like even the heavens were helping him. He had heard that Huang Rong was quick-witted, but it seemed like she was going to fall here.
When the group of people arrived at the Downwind Pavilion, they saw a beautiful woman burning incense and playing the zither. The sound of the zither was low and mellow, and seemed to carry a hidden bitterness. Hearing it made one's heart skip a beat and feel intoxicated. Wanyan Liang's group of people had come with a murderous intent, but as soon as the sound of the zither entered their ears, their murderous intent lessened.
"Although Huang Rong is hateful, she is indeed beautiful. No wonder Ouyang Ke was so infatuated with her." Thinking of Ouyang Ke, Ouyang Feng felt a sense of loss.
Qiu Qianren, who was standing to the side, also secretly clicked his tongue, "That girl Huang Rong was already exceptionally beautiful, but after getting married, her figure became even more outstanding."
Looking at the woman in the pavilion, Wanyan Liang's eyes flashed with passion. He waved his hand to signal his subordinates to stop, then he took a few steps forward and said, "The ancients said that music lingers in the air for three days, but I have never believed it. Today, after listening to Madam's song, I know that the ancients were right! However, I can feel that there is a hidden bitterness in Madam's music, and I don't know what it is about. Perhaps I can help Madam. "
Huang Rong was secretly surprised. When she was playing the zither, she couldn't help but think of the complicated relationship between her and Song Qingshu. She didn't expect that this King Jin was proficient in music and could hear her thoughts from the music.
However, she quickly suppressed her surprise and replied coldly, "The music of the zither is like a person's heart, and it can't bear the slightest bit of dirt. Once it is stained, it will lose its clarity. This zither was first stained with my troubles, and now it has been stained with your murderous intent and desires. The heart of the zither is no longer pure, so how can it play with such clarity? This zither is better off not having it! "
As soon as she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and the strings of the zither in front of her broke.
