Chapter 483 Miss Xu's Visit
Lin Wanrong nodded, smiling as he said, "I can't be certain, but according to my guess, they haven't escaped yet. The army is densely deployed outside the city, making escape nearly impossible. They'll only have a chance once we divert the troops."
"I see," Qin Xian'er clapped her hands and spoke in a sweet voice, "Husband, you're using their strategy against them. You're deliberately ordering Xu Wei to deploy troops and search vigorously outside the city. By making a lot of noise, you're creating an illusion, making them think you've been fooled and that our formation is broken—providing them a perfect opportunity."
"You've truly learned well, my darling," Lin Wanrong gave her a thumbs-up, praising both her and himself. "You've picked up so much of my cleverness after being with me for so long."
"Shameless," giggled Miss Qin, her face a mix of allure and annoyance. She then frowned slightly, "However, Prince Cheng is not to be underestimated. If he is determined to hide, how can we find him? What if he comes out to create chaos after our army heads north? Wouldn't that be disastrous?"
"Don't worry, he can't escape from my grasp," Lin Wanrong confidently patted his chest, his smile rather mysterious.
Seeing his expression, Qin Xian'er knew he had a plan. However, no matter how much she pestered him, Lin Wanrong only responded with a smile, not revealing anything. Frustrated, she pinched his arm until it turned blue, regretting it immediately when she saw the bruise.
Time flew by amidst their chatter, and dawn began to break. Lin Wanrong, having not slept all night and still recovering from serious injuries, started to yawn incessantly, overwhelmed by fatigue. Just as Qin Xian'er was about to take him home for some rest, the distant sound of galloping hooves reached their ears. A few moments later, several horses arrived at the entrance of the mansion. Leading them was an aged Xu Wei, his hair and beard both white.
"Little brother," Xu Wei quickly dismounted and walked up to Lin Wanrong, bowing with a fist and a look of shame on his face, "I'm sorry, I've messed up your plans."
