Chapter 556 The General is Shot
Hu Bugui paused for a moment before bursting into laughter. "Brilliant, truly brilliant. With Yujia's beauty and wisdom, she's bound to be a force to be reckoned with among the Turks. Sending messages through Heliye over such a long distance, coupled with the allure of a golden blade and Yujia's personal commitment—how could they not believe it? Anyone who gains Yujia's favor will surely risk their life to come to her rescue. General, this is a masterstroke."
Lin Wanrong gave a faint smile. "Now we'll see just how charming Yujia truly is." He waved his hand and continued, "Brother Hu, you'll handle this personally. Timing is of the essence; make sure there are no slip-ups that the Turks could notice."
"Rest assured, General. I'll take care of it," Hu Bugui replied, excitedly nodding his head before turning to leave. Seeing Old Hu walk away so effortlessly, Gao Qiu became anxious and grabbed Lin Wanrong's sleeve. "Brother Lin, what about me? What should I do?"
Lin Wanrong blinked. "Do I really need to spell it out? Of course, you're going to administer the poison. Who else could pull it off but you?"
Old Gao nodded with satisfaction. "What about after the poison? Can I go up front with Old Hu to take a look?"
"Absolutely not," Lin Wanrong shook his head emphatically. "There's something far more critical for you to do right now. If the Turks from Ejina and Ha'er Helin mobilize, we're likely to encounter them if we don't change course. To avoid unnecessary casualties, we need to alter our path."
Understanding the urgency, Gao Qiu hastily nodded. "How should we change it? Speak quickly, Brother Lin!"
Noticing a beautiful Turkic girl glancing over at them, Lin Wanrong waved and lowered his voice. "We will abandon Yiwu for now and advance northward into the heart of the grasslands!"
