Chapter 244 What's going on
Shen Yiran looked at the three people in front of him, cleared his throat, and said, "I chose to tell the truth at this time because I hope that after you know the truth, you can make a better choice in the face of what is about to happen."
When the three heard this, their thoughts immediately returned. They all understood that the road ahead was long and full of difficulties, but as long as they worked together, they would be able to overcome the difficulties and embrace a new life.
Yu Gongyu then asked: "Brother, what should we do next?"
Ren Jingzhi hesitated for a moment and said, "We have to find a way to reach a consensus with the Western Region Army and strive for peaceful coexistence."
"Will they be willing? Since Bai Yuhao fled this time, they will definitely raise an army to attack again." Yu Gongyu was worried.
"Of course he won't agree. He has to discuss it with their third prince." Ren Jingzhi responded after thinking.
At this moment, Lin Bei's voice came from the door: "Greetings, Third Prince."
"Lin Bei, please pass on the message that I have something urgent to discuss with Brother Ren." Bai Yuchuan said anxiously.
"But the masters are discussing something." Lin Bei's voice was full of embarrassment.
"Lin Bei, let the third prince in." Ren Jingzhi ordered.
Lin Bei received the order, opened the tent curtain, and said, "Third Prince, please!"
Bai Yuchuan hurried into the tent, looking anxious and solemn. He first saluted Ren Jingzhi with a fist, then quickly looked around the tent, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Ren Jingzhi saw his concerns and said, "Brother, you can talk as you please. We are all family members."
Bai Yuchuan then hurriedly said to Ren Jingzhi: "Brother Ren, I came here to discuss an extremely urgent matter. It concerns the survival of our Western Region. I hope Brother Ren can lend me a helping hand!"
Ren Jingzhi was also shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Third Prince, sit down and tell me slowly, what's the matter?"
Bai Yuchuan sat down as he was told, took a deep breath, calmed down, and slowly spoke: "Brother Ren, you also know that Bai Yuhao is cruel and ambitious by nature. In recent years, he has often sent troops to invade your border, causing the two armies to go to war."
Having said that, Bai Yuchuan couldn't help but clench his fists, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.
"Now, the situation is getting more critical. I just received a secret report from my father that Bai Yuhao is trying to usurp the throne! My father's health has been poor in recent years, and I'm afraid he will be in great danger after this incident."
Bai Yuchuan's voice trembled slightly, his eyes full of worry and anxiety, "My father told me in the secret report that I must find a way to rescue him and fight for the throne with that rebellious son to ensure the stability of our Western Region. Brother Ren, you are resourceful and I came here to listen to your advice."
Ren Jingzhi frowned when he heard this, thinking about a countermeasure. After a moment, he looked at Bai Yuchuan and said solemnly: "Third Prince, this matter is indeed difficult. However, if you trust me, I have a plan.
I can lead troops to help you fight for the throne, but the condition is that if you ascend the throne in the future, you must ensure that the two countries live in harmony and there is no war on the border. This will benefit both our dynasty and the Western Regions. What do you think? "
Bai Yuchuan's eyes lit up when he heard this. He stood up without hesitation, clasped his fists and said loudly, "Brother Ren, this is a great idea! I hate the endless war. If I can get your help and ascend the throne, I will keep my promise to ensure peace on the border between the two countries and the people can live and work in peace!"
At this moment, Shen Yiran, who had been listening quietly, spoke up: "I have a way to minimize casualties."
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned, and then they all turned their eyes to Shen Yiran, their eyes full of confusion and expectation.
Ren Jingzhi hurriedly asked: "Ran Ran, what good ideas do you have? Tell me quickly."
Shen Yiran paused for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and said seriously: "Now our military camp is experiencing an epidemic. Although it has been brought under control through everyone's efforts, everyone has seen the power of the epidemic.
We might as well bring the epidemic in this military camp to the Western Regions, try to infect Bai Yuhao and his cronies with the epidemic, and then threaten them with the antidote to make them voluntarily give up the throne.
This way, we can avoid large-scale fighting, reduce casualties on both sides, and help the Third Prince ascend the throne smoothly."
When everyone heard Shen Yiran's plan, they looked at each other in bewilderment, and the tent fell into a brief silence. Everyone was thinking about the feasibility of this plan.
Ren Jingzhi was the first to break the silence, frowned slightly, and said with some concern: "Ran Ran, although this plan is brilliant, is it too cruel to use the epidemic in this way?
Moreover, it is not easy to accurately infect Bai Yuhao and his cronies with the disease without affecting innocent people. "
Yu Gongyu also nodded and agreed: "Yes, sister-in-law, once the epidemic spreads, it will be difficult to control. If it harms too many innocent people, it will not be worth it."
Shen Yiran sighed softly and explained, "I know this plan is risky, but the current situation is critical. If we really resort to fighting, the casualties will be heavy.
As for precisely controlling the spread of the epidemic, I am somewhat confident. I can prepare a special medicine to attach the epidemic bacteria to it. As long as Bai Yuhao and his cronies come into contact with this medicine, the symptoms of the epidemic will be triggered.
Moreover, I can prepare an antidote, and once they surrender, I can detoxify them in time, so that the harm can be controlled to the minimum extent."
After hearing Shen Yiran's detailed explanation, everyone's doubts gradually dissipated.
Bai Yuchuan's eyes flashed with determination. He looked at Shen Yiran, clasped his fists and said sincerely, "Madam, you are right. I can't care about many things now. As long as I can avoid large-scale casualties, save my father's life, and save my Western Region from danger, I am willing to give it a try!"
Ren Jingzhi saw that everyone had no objection, so he nodded and said firmly: "In that case, let's act according to this plan. However, during the implementation process, everyone must be careful and cautious, and the primary principle is to reduce casualties and achieve the goal."
Afterwards, everyone began to make arrangements in a hurry. Shen Yiran personally prepared the special medicine.
Bai Yuchuan carefully selected a team of elite soldiers from the 20,000 captured Western Region troops and sneaked into the Western Region Kingdom.
Along the way, everyone was very careful and did not dare to slack off. Bai Yuchuan was nervous and full of expectations. He knew that this operation was related to his own fate and the future of the Western Region.
Finally, they arrived safely near the Western Region Kingdom's palace.
Relying on his familiarity with the terrain of the imperial palace, Bai Yuchuan led everyone to avoid the heavy guards like a civet cat and found the place where Crown Prince Bai Yuhao and his cronies often appeared.
The palace was heavily guarded, with patrolling soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding gleaming weapons, shuttling back and forth. The tall palace walls looked even colder in the moonlight, revealing an indescribable majesty.
According to the plan, Bai Yuchuan and his team cleverly smeared the medicine containing the epidemic germs on some common objects on the route that the prince and others had to pass.
For example, the handles of the palace gates and the stone benches in the garden are arranged very concealedly, as if these objects were just their original appearance and there was nothing unusual about them.
After everything was ready, everyone evacuated quietly and observed the development of the situation in secret.
