Chun Tao's words gave everyone a fright!
Especially Wu Tianlang. He thought that Chun Tao had changed her mind at the last minute and wanted to withdraw from this operation!
" Chun Tao…" Wu Tianlang wanted to say that since he wanted to quit, he had to keep it a secret.
Before Wu Tianlang could say anything, Chun Tao continued,"Imperial Concubine, Chun Tao wants to replace sister Dongmei and stay in the Horse Posthouse!”
What was that?
Wu Tianlang was stunned!
No one expected Chun Tao to say that!
One had to know that if one stayed in the posthouse, the chances of surviving were very small. If they were not careful, they might even be punished for deceiving the emperor and bring disaster to their families.
Hearing Chun Tao's words, Yang Yuhuan was very touched. She stepped forward and stroked Chun Tao's shoulder, saying,"Chun Tao, you should know that it's even more dangerous to stay in the palace and pretend to be me.”
"That's right, Chun Tao, don't fight with me!" Dong Mei also said. If the emperor were to fly into a rage, even your family might be implicated!”
Chun Tao smiled and said to Dong Mei,"Sister Dongmei, it's because of this that I feel that I should stay!”
"Oh?" Dong Mei was puzzled.
"Have you forgotten, Sister Dongmei?" Chun Tao smiled bitterly. Before Chun Tao entered the palace, she was an orphan. She had no parents. It was an old granny who made tofu that adopted me. After the old granny passed away a few years ago, I had no ties in this world! So, Sister Dongmei, Imperial Concubine, if the Emperor is furious, you can only blame me!”
When everyone heard Chun Tao's words, they were all infected by her righteous spirit!
Wu Tianlang didn't expect Chun Tao to be such a brave person!
"Chun Tao! You're so brave!" Wu Tianlang gave him a thumbs up.
One had to know that when faced with the test of life and death, the vast majority of men would shrink back. Now, a weak woman was actually generously risking her life on behalf of her companion. How could this not be touching?
Dong Mei was even more touched. Her eyes were filled with tears, and her voice trembled with excitement."Chun Tao, let me pretend to be the Imperial Consort. I'm older than you by a year, so I can be considered your elder sister.”
However, Chun Tao said," Sister Dongmei, my height and body shape are closer to the Imperial Concubine's. Just now, Old Weng also said to let the impersonator pretend to have typhoid fever and try to buy some time. If I pretend to be the Imperial Concubine and cover my face, it will be difficult for others to tell. So, Sister Dongmei, don't fight with me!"”
When Wu Tianlang heard this, he took a closer look and realized that Chun Tao's height and body shape were the closest to Yang Yuhuan's! The rest were all petite, only the spring peaches were plump.
Seeing that everyone was still hesitating, Chun Tao said to Yang Yuhuan,"Imperial Concubine, the current situation is urgent, so it's better not to worry about this matter! Hurry up and arrange other tasks!"
Yang Yuhuan wanted to say something, but when she saw the determination in Chun Tao's eyes, she could only swallow her words!
"Good, women are really not inferior to men! Chun Tao is really good!" Wu Tianlang praised," Then let's confirm who will stay in the Courier Station to accompany Chun Tao. This is also a difficult task. At the critical moment, we need two people to cooperate in order to hide it!”
"I'm willing to stay and accompany Chun Tao!”
The one who said this was Xia He.
Just like that, the people who stayed in the posthouse were confirmed!
The people who went out had to be divided into two groups. One group was to pretend to be the imperial concubine and meet up with the Wei Nation monk Abei Nakamaro at the boundary stone at Mawei Slope before heading east. The next path was the real Imperial Concubine. According to Yang Yuhuan's plan, she would escape west and then south to Shu Prefecture to avoid disaster.
The only ones left were Wu Tianlang, Dong Mei, and Qiu Ju!
Dong Mei volunteered to head east.
This was a path of life and death.
Wu Tianlang looked at Dong Mei with an indescribable feeling in his heart. Actually, among all the missions, Dong Mei's mission was probably the most difficult.
Wu Tianlang even felt that Gao Lishi's considerations were too complicated!
If they missed this trip, wouldn't it be fine to let Dong Mei follow them to Shu Prefecture?
Thinking of this, Wu Tianlang said to Yang Yuhuan,""Imperial Concubine, I feel that it is unnecessary to travel east with the help of the Wei Nation monk.”
Yang Yuhuan did not know what to say.
But Yang Yuhuan knew that Gao Lishi's arrangement was reasonable. If news of her escape were to spread, the Great Tang would think that she would flee to the Shu Prefecture, and there would definitely be pursuit and obstruction along the way.
If he had Abei Nakamaro's side to cover him, he could reduce the number of people he had.
Yang Yuhuan thought so, but she couldn't say it.
Because she couldn't bear to see Dongmei take such a risk for her.
"Wu Tianlang! Ah Weng's many years of experience are not as much as you know! He considered this because he knew the current situation. Besides, as long as he could make the Imperial Concubine a little safer, whatever Dongmei did would be worth it! So, don't stop me!”
"Alright, Dongmei, let Qiuju go with you. We can take care of each other along the way! "Yang Yuhuan said.
Qiu Ju also nodded, indicating that she was willing.
However, Dongmei was unwilling." Imperial Concubine, let Qiuju follow you. You need someone to look after you!"”
"Don't you still have me?" Wu Tianlang quickly said. He hoped that Qiu Ju could accompany Dong Mei. He really couldn't bear to let a woman put herself in danger!
"You?" Dong Mei looked at Wu Tianlang and smiled. Dong Mei thought of the time she had spent with this man in the afternoon. She thought to herself, how many men in this world can be relied on? After all, they are all animals that think with their lower bodies!
Wu Tianlang saw Dong Mei looking at him suspiciously and thought that this girl was afraid that he would bring the Imperial Concubine along. A man and a woman alone would definitely be restless.
Dong Mei stopped laughing and said seriously," Wu Tianlang, our mission is to ensure that the Imperial Concubine can escape safely. So, the three of you should stay together and take care of each other."”
Since Dong Mei had said so, there was nothing else for everyone to say!
Wu Tianlang was reluctant, but he had no choice.
"Hey, Dongmei, do you know where that Boundary Stone is?”Wu Tianlang was afraid that Dong Mei wouldn't be able to find the Boundary Stone on Mawei Slope.
Dong Mei smiled." I know. I've seen it before. It's about 2,000 meters to the east. It's fine. It's just a main road from east to west. There's no mistake."”
Wu Tianlang was also worried that Gao Lishi and Abei Nakamaro had made a mistake in the time and place they had agreed on.
"Don't worry, everyone, don't worry!”Dong Mei said.
Wu Tianlang's mind was in a mess. Perhaps he was disturbed by his emotions.
"Alright then, let's stay in this room tonight and wait for tomorrow morning's action!" said Dong Mei. Just in time, I'll put on makeup for everyone!"
When Wu Tianlang thought of taking action at midnight, he remembered that he should ask Wang Daniu for help!
"Imperial Concubine, you guys put on your disguises first. I'll go and meet up with my men outside. We have to set up a few big fires at the third watch so that we can take advantage of the chaos to escape!”
"Tianlang, be careful!" Yang Yuhuan said with concern.
Under the flickering candlelight, Yang Yuhuan's charming face was slightly sad, and there was an indescribable beauty…
