Chapter 256: Rescuing My Brother-in-Law (7)
After meeting Yulong, I returned straight to the lodgings.
My plan was to take Woo Je-jun and Sima Xin with me to raid Bingdong and rescue Miao Shan.
Originally, I planned to attack immediately, but after hearing Yu Long’s opinion, I decided to reorganize our forces before moving out.
‘Bingdong is a facility under the Left General’s jurisdiction. What’s more, now that they’ve even locked up the scholars, security there must be extremely tight. It would be far safer to strike from within.’
‘You’re more cowardly than you look. A mere imperial guard? Give them a good whack and they’ll run crying…’
‘We have intelligence that twenty Golden Guard soldiers, all at the Peak level or above, are guarding the place. The two unit commanders are Supreme Masters. Moreover, the Left General’s retainers are right next door. Underestimating them could lead to a major setback.’
‘Well, there’s that saying about preparing for the worst…’
Safety complacency is unacceptable.
With preparations complete, we decided to begin our operation from within the left admiral’s compound.
The plan was simple.
We would begin at nightfall, the hour of the Pig, subdue the estate’s masters without a sound, then enter the ice cave at midnight to rescue Miao Shan.
After that, we’d lead everyone out of Nanjing through the escape route the Hao Gate kids had prepared, and it would all be over.
Seeing the end in sight, a sigh escaped me.
‘Getting married really is no easy feat.’
