Niu Youdao sighed and said, "There are some things that I hope Your Highness can understand. It's not that I haven't considered having Your Highness withdraw the troops in exchange for the safety of the princess and the little prince, but this method is not advisable. It is not that I am worried about the result of the war, but if I do this, it will ruin the three factions' plan. Why would the three factions have any concerns? Without any internal or external constraints, they will definitely kill us. Even if the Princess and the Little Prince come back, they will not be able to escape. By then, we will not only be the unlucky ones, but also many of the Prince's brothers will be killed! "
Shang Chaozong said, "I understand what Daoye is saying. Daoye, just tell me what to do and I will do it."
Niu Youdao said, "What I mean is that there is no other way. We can only snatch them from the enemy's hands!"
"Snatch?" Meng Shanming was shocked. "They are in the enemy's hands, so they must be under strict surveillance. The enemy can kill the Princess and the Little Prince at any time. There is no way to snatch them. How can we snatch them?" They can't just snatch two dead people, right?
Niu Youdao gave him a push. "I know what to do and I will deal with it according to the situation. But I have to make it clear that I do not have absolute confidence in this matter. I can only say that I will try my best. The Prince must be prepared for the worst! "
Shang Chaozong and Meng Shanming's hearts sank. Shang Chaozong nodded with difficulty. "I understand. Daoye, tell me what to do. I will do my best to cooperate!"
Niu Youdao pointed at Yun Ji. "Yun Ji and I will go to the Zhao army now. I have no way to contact them and they are under military control. I need the Prince to help me contact them. "
As soon as he said this, everyone, including Guan Fangyi, was surprised except for Yun Ji who knew what was going on.
Shang Chaozong was shocked. "Go to the Zhao army now? There are still a few hours before the appointed meeting time. Why do you want to go there now? "
Niu Youdao: "The appointment can be brought forward, but the reason for bringing it forward is to keep it a secret. My meeting with Zhao Jun can't be known by the three major sects, or else it will definitely ruin things. I'll be frank with you. The three major sects aren't reliable, and I've always been on guard against them. That's why I asked the Prince to come here and find out what's going on in the prince's mansion. I still don't trust them, and I have to be on guard against them. "
Shang Chaozong: "Okay, what should I do?"
Niu Youdao said, "The Prince has a large number of scouts lurking at the frontlines. They won't attract attention and can avoid the eyes and ears of the three big sects. The Prince can secretly send someone with a letter to the Zhao army and tell them that I will be going there personally to have a secret meeting with them. Tell their air defense personnel to prepare to receive me. If I go there personally, they will definitely agree! "
Shang Chaozong: "That's simple, very easy. There won't be any problems. Anything else? "
Niu Youdao: "Also, the Prince must be prepared to attack. We don't need to win, even if it's just a feint. Anyway, we must attract the enemy's strength and strengthen our defense."
Shang Chaozong: "Okay, when do we do it?"
Niu Youdao: "Observe carefully. When I go there, once the fight starts, it won't be small. As long as you pay attention, you should be able to detect it. Once I start, your side will act immediately. Remember, don't waste any time. My life is in the hands of the Prince! "
"This …" Shang Chaozong was shocked. Meng Shanming was also shocked. Only two people?
Guan Fangyi was shocked. "Daoye, you and Yunji are going there to fight?"
Niu Youdao: "Since we are going to fight, we will have to fight."
Guan Fangyi was not shocked by this. "Don't tell me that you are going to fight with just the two of you? Is this a joke?"
Niu Youdao: "Do I look like I'm joking?"
Guan Fangyi now understood what was going on. She asked, "You want to use the Heaven Sword Talismans as a cover to buy time for Yunji, so that she can escape with the princess and the Little Prince?"
Niu You said, "We can only do this for now. This is the only feasible way."
Guan Fangyi: "Then how are you going to escape?"
Niu Youdao: "That's why I want the Prince to cooperate with us to lure most of the enemy's cultivators to the frontline."
Guan Fangyi was a little anxious. "What's the use of that? You are going deep into the enemy's territory. Not to mention eight Heaven Sword Talismans, you still need to use them to buy time for Yunji. Even if you have one hundred Heaven Sword Talismans, you won't be able to escape! Now that the enemy has gathered the most powerful forces of the Kingdom of Zhao, they will be able to hold you back from such a long distance. There is no way you can escape! "
Then he turned to Yunji and asked, "Do you think this is feasible?"
Yunji shook her head. "I also think it's too dangerous. I don't recommend him to do this, but he insists."
Guan Fangyi didn't care about what Shang Chaozong and Meng Shanming thought. She warned Niu Youdao: "If you do this, my money will go down the drain. I won't agree to it, I strongly oppose it!"
Niu Youdao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Why are you always talking about money? I said I will pay you double the amount of the Heaven Sword Talismans."
Guan Fangyi glared at him. "You are already dead. How can I ask a ghost for money? Besides, you have done so many wicked things. Do you think you are qualified to be a ghost? "
Niu Youdao didn't want to argue with her. "Okay, I have made up my mind. Say no more!"
Shang Chaozong stopped him again. "Daoye, if this is the case, it's fine if Qing 'er and the others don't save them. It's too dangerous."
Niu Youdao said, "You think too much. If I am not sure, I won't take the risk for no reason. It's decided."
Guan Fangyi said, "Daoye, listen to me. If your idea is feasible, you might as well let the people from the three major sects go. The top forces of the three major sects are gathered here. They have the ability to compete with the enemy. Give them the Heaven Sword Talismans and let them go. They are the most suitable people to snatch Qing 'er."
Niu Youdao said, "Aren't you talking nonsense? Let the people from the three major sects go deep into the enemy's thousands of experts to snatch Qing 'er. Do you think they will agree? "
Guan Fangyi was really anxious. "But you can't go alone. At least bring more people, right?"
Niu Youdao said, "It's not suitable if there are more people. The enemy will be vigilant and won't let the Princess and the Little Prince get out of their control. It's useless to go. Only when there are fewer people, the enemy will let down their guard and we will have a chance to succeed. Also, more people will be a burden and more people will be killed. I can't take care of them all. To put it bluntly, those who are willing to go with me are our people. It's not necessary to sacrifice our own people to save our own people. "
Meng Shanming who was frowning suddenly said, "Daoye, your idea is really risky and not advisable. But after hearing what you said, I have a safer idea. "
Niu Youdao said, "I am willing to listen to your advice."
The others also looked at Meng Shanming expectantly.
Meng Shanming said, "If we go deep into the enemy's territory, it will be useless for us to pretend to attack them. If Daoye is really confident, I suggest we meet them at the appointed time. When the two armies are facing each other, our experts will be there. Once there is any change, our people can rush over to help them. Since Daoye has a lot of Heaven Sword Talismans to protect him, it should not be a problem for us to help Daoye escape. "
Shang Chaozong nodded. "That's feasible."
Guan Fangyi nodded. "Yes, yes. Let's do it."
Niu Youdao countered with a question, "Could it be that you wish for me to die early?"
"Uh …" Meng Shanming said, "Why do you say that, Daoye?"
Niu Youdao said, "I said, we can't let the three major sects know about this. I think you know some things. The three major sects want to get rid of me, but now is not the best time for them to do it. They don't want to make any trouble. In front of Wangye and Meng Shuai, at the moment of the decisive battle, they will have some misgivings and will not make a move against me. But if they let me die in the hands of the enemy, it will be the most suitable. "
"Do you think that when the two armies are facing off against each other and I'm surrounded, they will work hard to save me? Even if you watch and they help me, they will definitely lose. They have many ways to make you speechless. No matter how many Heaven Sword Talismans I have, I won't be able to escape until I am killed by the cultivators of the State of Zhao! We can't let them know about this. Otherwise, I am sure they will kill me with a borrowed knife! "
They looked solemn and silent.
Niu Youdao continued, "Also, when the two armies are facing each other, the enemy can't let the princess and the Little Prince escape. As long as they keep holding them, even if they put a finger on the princess and the Little Prince, I won't be able to save them."
After saying that, he walked to the hanging map and pointed at the location of the heavily guarded central camp of the enemy. "This is the reason why I wanted to have a secret talk with them in advance. The secret talk is not the purpose. The purpose is to avoid the people of the three major sects, and also to appear here. Now that I have gone there in advance, I will definitely appear here. There are so many masters here, and the army is guarding Yunji. If only the two of us go there, they won't be able to pose a threat. Only then will they let down their guard. Only then will I be able to find a chance for the Commandery Princess and the young prince to temporarily escape from their control. Nothing ventured, nothing gained! "
Guan Fangyi said anxiously, "Yes, you are right, okay? But you have to cover Yunji and the others to escape. How are you going to escape? There are too many experts there. Even the Grand Supreme Elders of the three major sects are there. You won't be able to escape! "
"This is the reason why I asked Meng Shuai about the situation at Corner Lake." Niu Youdao raised his finger and pointed at the lake on the map. "This place is only two li away from the enemy camp. After Yunji and the others escape, I will immediately use the Heaven Sword Talisman to kill my way to Corner Lake. As long as I can escape into Corner Lake, they may not be able to do anything to me. And after Yunji settles the princess and the Little Prince, she will immediately come to Corner Lake to rescue me and escape from the bottom of Corner Lake. "
He put down his hand from the map and said to Shang Chaozong, "This is the reason why I asked the Prince's army to cooperate with us. I have limited Heaven Sword Talismans and can't hold on for long. I can only escape to Corner Lake to avoid danger. Only when the Prince's army attracts a large number of cultivators to the front line will I have a chance to escape. Otherwise, with thousands of cultivators killing their way to Corner Lake, I'm afraid it will be hard for me to wait until Yunji comes to rescue me. "
"So Prince, you must remember. Once the battle starts, the army must attack in time. It can't be too early. If it's too early, it will alert the enemy. They will control the princess and the others and I won't be able to succeed. It can't be too late. If it's too late, my life will be in danger! "
The few of them stared at him in a daze and were all moved. They could imagine what kind of situation it would be when the time came. Facing the siege of thousands of soldiers and experts, this Taoist master would have to fight his way out alone.
Guan Fangyi's eyes turned red. "Didn't you say you don't like fighting and killing?"
