"A scheme within a scheme? What plan?" Yang Yuhuan asked.
Wu Tianlang and Dong Mei also looked at Gao Lishi with anticipation.
After all, this old eunuch who had lived in the palace for so many years had experienced so many ups and downs. His experience and schemes were very authentic.
Gao Lishi said," The situation is urgent now. Even if the Imperial Concubine uses this trick to escape, it's still inevitable that the soldiers will chase after us. In this old servant's opinion, we can release a few smoke bombs when we escape. We can reveal our traces appropriately to attract the eyes of the pursuers and lure them into chasing us..."
"I still don't understand what you're saying. What do you mean by smoke bomb?”Wu Tianlang asked.
"At this time, how can spreading news be compared to fighting in person?" Gao Lishi shook his head.”
"What Old Man means is…" Yang Yuhuan looked at Gao Lishi and seemed to understand a little.
Gao Lishi nodded." Imperial Concubine, this old servant has this plan: "Leave someone in the posthouse to pretend to be Imperial Concubine. This way, you can buy time. After you escape from the posthouse, you have to split into two groups and go in opposite directions. It's best if you find another person to pretend to be Imperial Concubine. If Imperial Concubine Dongmei's disguise is not seen through, then the two of you will live in peace and continue to escape. The further you escape, the better. However, once the disguise in the posthouse is exposed, the other person who is pretending to be the Imperial Consort outside has to reveal some traces to attract the attention of the pursuers. This way…"
"In this case, the Imperial Concubine will be able to escape safely!”Dong Mei said happily.
Yang Yuhuan felt that the matter was a little complicated, but it was of great importance. It was necessary to be cautious.
However, when she heard that there was someone else to impersonate her, Yang Yuhuan hesitated. After all, those who impersonated her would have to pay the price with their lives.
"Old Weng, if that's the case, someone will have to make sacrifices again.”Yang Yuhuan said.
At this moment, Dong Mei said," Imperial Consort, please don't think like that. I think if we tell Chun Tao, Xia He, and Qiu Ju about this, they will also be duty-bound!"”
When Yang Yuhuan heard Dongmei's words, she felt a wave of sadness in her heart. When she thought of how they were willing to sacrifice their lives for her, she was extremely touched.
"Alright, Imperial Concubine, Dongmei is right. Imperial Concubine, you've always been so good to everyone, and they all want to repay your kindness! This old servant met the monk named Abei Nakamaro yesterday. He even said in secret that An Lushan was coming at them menacingly and was very worried about the Imperial Concubine's comfort-"
"Abei Nakamaro? Was Old Weng talking about that Wei Nation monk?”Yang Yuhuan asked.
She had seen this monk before. He had crossed the sea from the Wei Nation three years ago to learn Buddhist scriptures. He often discussed Buddhist principles with Emperor Li Longji, so she had some impression of him.
Yang Yuhuan didn't expect that this monk, whom she had met a few times, was actually worried about her comfort. She was also a little touched.
" Sigh…" Wu Tianlang heard Gao Lishi mention this Wei Nation monk and suddenly thought of a plan.
Wu Tianlang said to Gao Lishi," Old man, I think that even if the Imperial Concubine stays in the Tang Empire, she will be in danger. Why don't you ask that Wei Nation monk? If the Imperial Concubine can escape to the Wei Nation with his help, then she will be really safe!"”
"What is it? Go to the Wei Nation?" Yang Yuhuan waved her hands when she heard that." Let's not talk about whether we can escape there. I don't want to go either! Even if I die, I will be buried in the soil of the Great Tang!”
However, when Gao Lishi heard Wu Tianlang's words, he seemed to be deep in thought.
Seeing this, Yang Yuhuan asked in fear,"Old Weng, you can't do this! How can I escape with a monk from the Wei Nation…"
"Imperial Concubine, this young man reminded me that we can use this as a smokescreen.”
"Old Weng, you mean to let that Wei Nation monk bring a person pretending to be the Imperial Consort?”Wu Tianlang asked.
Gao Lishi nodded." In that case, we can let Abeinamaro attract the attention of the pursuers.”
"But, is that Wei Nation monk willing? Was he willing to take such a big risk just to make a smokescreen?”Wu Tianlang asked again.
Gao Lishi thought for a moment." As far as I know, although Abei Nakamaro is a monk, he admires the Imperial Concubine's beauty and talent very much. He's still willing to take risks for the Imperial Concubine. As for making a smoke bomb, that's hard to say-"
"Why don't we just tell him that it's a fake Imperial Concubine and that it's real?”Dong Mei said.
"But he has seen me before." Yang Yuhuan said.
Gao Lishi spoke up," Yes, we have seen him, but if we can cover it up and buy as much time as we can, then we should buy as much time as we can. Even if he finds out about this, he will be gratified that he has done his best to save you, Imperial Consort."”
Since things had come to this, it seemed like this was a good idea.
"In that case, I'll go to the inn tonight to find Abeinakamaro and find out what he thinks.”Gao Lishi said," Then, you guys discuss who will come out and pretend to be the Imperial Concubine.”
"Then, Weng, when do you think is the best time to start?”Wu Tianlang asked.
Gao Lishi pondered and said," It's definitely the riskiest during the day. It's easy to be seen through. But now, we haven't discussed the specific countermeasures yet. Why don't we wait for me to come back? After I come back from Abeinamaro's place, we can make a decision?”
Everyone looked at each other. Although they felt that things were too rushed and there were obviously many loopholes, it was urgent and they had no choice.
" Alright, Old Man," Wu Tianlang said." Go talk to Abei Nakamaro, and we'll discuss the specific countermeasures."”
Thus, Gao Lishi turned around and left.
From his slightly hunched back, one could tell that Gao Lishi was preoccupied with a lot of things…
