Chapter 1050 Yingying as bait, catching an Emperor Liang

On the second day.

According to the agreement, Cui Zheng gave Chuntao to Su Mingzhe, and Su Mingzhe sent someone to send the Cui family back home.

Before seeing them off, Su Mingzhe borrowed Sun Feihu's power to help the Cui family change their identities as Liang State pass holders to avoid other people's attention as much as possible.

Cui Zheng was naturally delighted to see Su Mingzhe was so honest, and her reluctance to use Chuntao as a bargaining chip was also suppressed.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

During the day, Su Mingzhe used soul-stealing techniques to train the "Yi Nu Army", and at night he would drag Chun Tao to play games.

At the beginning of the previous plane, Su Mingzhe's "Soul Capture Technique" was still a single-target skill, and could only increase the number of people by about forty or fifty in a day.

The specific situation also depends on whether the other party’s spiritual beliefs are firm.

Later, as the world was unified, Su Mingzhe continued to perform the "Soul-stealing Technique" and his level continued to improve.

When quantitative change leads to qualitative change, single-target skills will be upgraded to group skills.

Nowadays, Su Mingzhe, relying on his powerful mental strength, can 'easily' subdue five thousand soldiers with just one move.

Of course, some people are strong-willed.

For this group of people, Su Mingzhe is also willing to spend more effort to subdue them.

After all, people with strong wills have higher growth potential.

But if he is a "stubborn one", Su Mingzhe will have to be "ruthless".

Now, after a few more days of reinforcement, Su Mingzhe finally had complete control of the army.

This day.

The daily practice is over.

Chun Tao helped the man take a bath, and after he changed into dry clothes and lay on the bed, she revealed a trace of worry:
"Sir, according to the itinerary, Madam and the others will enter the three towns of Hebei, right?"

"Yes, yesterday the carrier pigeon sent a message saying that we are almost entering Wei Bo territory. According to the rules for entering the city, we should be able to reach Boling today."

Su Mingzhe explained the situation to Chuntao and took a bite of Rouge.

When Chuntao heard that her old master was about to return home safely, she couldn't help but sigh:

"I've heard that there are as many soldiers and bandits as castor beans in Liang State. I didn't expect that Madam and the others would be so lucky..."

"You think too much."

Su Mingzhe does not think that Liang State under Zhu Wen's rule would be a good place.

According to Chuntao's idea, although Su Mingzhe let the Cui family leave, he secretly spread the news and used Cui Yingying's reputation as "the most beautiful woman in the Tang Dynasty" to attract various demons to take action.

When the Cui family was in crisis, Su Mingzhe was like a god descending from heaven, saving the damsel in distress and easily bringing the Cui family back.

At that time, in the face of the life-saving grace, Cui Zheng would have to reconsider even if she wanted to disagree with their marriage.

Of course, this was Chuntao's idea.

Now, the Cui family and their entourage actually arrived safely in Wei Bo Boling, which was somewhat beyond Chun Tao and Su Mingzhe's expectations.

Chuntao thought their plan was going to fail.

Su Mingzhe sneered:
"When the forest begins to become silent, it is not because the mountain animals and birds have flown away, but because more powerful birds of prey are about to appear..."

"Is that right?"

Chuntao couldn't quite believe it.

the next day.

A carrier pigeon flew into the military camp.

As Su Mingzhe's "confidential secretary", Chun Tao was the first to see the secret letter. She was immediately shocked and found the man:

"Sir, my lady and her team were robbed by a group of bandits as soon as they arrived in Wei Bo, Hebei. The team suffered heavy casualties!"

"It's just as I expected!"

Su Mingzhe took the note calmly and looked at it. He found that the message was written in black and white on ordinary paper. He then comforted Chuntao in a gentle tone and told her not to worry.

Before the team set off, Su Mingzhe and the captain who was seeing them off made an agreement that if everything went well, they would put it in black and white.

If there is a danger to life, then write in blood on white paper. If it is an extremely urgent danger, then write in blood on yellow paper.

With this secret agreement, Su Mingzhe is no longer afraid of information leakage.

Calmed the frightened Chuntao.

Su Mingzhe walked out of the commander's tent, and his personal soldiers informed his cavalry to get ready for battle.

Soon, a hundred soldiers boarded the warship that had been prepared long ago and sailed downstream.

Until late at night.

The warships have arrived at the Luoyang West Ferry.

Su Mingzhe arranged people to guard the warships, and all the cavalrymen went ashore in pairs and headed towards Wei Bo.

Wei Bo, one of the three towns in Hebei Province, is 700 miles away from Luoyang.

The Cui family of Boling has lived near Weizhou, Weizhou, Weizhou for generations.

Cui Zheng and his group of people unexpectedly got into trouble in Wei Bo. They were stopped at their doorstep!

Two days and two nights later.

Su Mingzhe, with a hundred cavalrymen, followed the trail and met the terrified Cui family members in the deep mountains and old forests of Taihang Mountains.

"Mr. Su, you are finally here!"

When Hongniang saw the man appear, her face was full of surprise.

Although, Hongniang had already known that they would be chased this time.

However, she still couldn't feel at ease because she was worried all day long.

Even Cui Yingying, who was always quiet, was delighted to see the man appear.

At this time, six days had passed since the group was intercepted.

When they were escaping, everyone threw away all their luggage and valuables in order to reduce weight.

During these few days, the group relied on hunting to make a living.

After a few days of malnutrition, everyone's face began to turn yellow and dull.

Cui Yingying and Hongniang were relatively better because they were young, but their complexions were not very good either.

"No one is hurt, right?"

Su Mingzhe took the opportunity to hold Cui Yingying's soft and boneless little hand, fumbled with it for a while, and when he saw Cui Zheng coming, he reluctantly let go.

"Master Su!"

When Cui Zheng saw that it was really Su Mingzhe who came, she suddenly relaxed.

During these six days, Hongniang and Cui Yingying both knew that Su Mingzhe had secretly sent people to protect them, so although they were panicked and scared, they were still able to sleep.

Only Cui Zheng was kept in the dark. When she was escaping, she was afraid of being caught up by the bandits. Losing the lives of her family was a small matter, but if both mother and daughter were raped, that would be real hell.

Now that Su Mingzhe had really arrived with his men, Cui Zheng finally felt relieved.

"Don't be afraid, Madam. We encountered those bandits on the way here, and we have wiped them all out!"

After Su Mingzhe comforted him, he frowned and asked what had happened.

Why the team was ambushed near Boling.

"Alas, it's all family misfortune!"

When asked, Cui Zheng sighed and remained silent.

It was the matchmaker who spoke quickly:
"Master Su, it was Emperor Zhu Wen of Liang. When he learned that the young lady had returned home, he sent people to capture the members of the Cui family of Boling and demanded that the Cui family offer the young lady to the palace. The Cui family feared that the entire family would be exterminated by Emperor Liang, so they tried to trick the lady into entering the palace. The lady found out that something was wrong and immediately withdrew from Weizhou with the young lady, but they were still ambushed by Liang troops disguised as bandits."

"So those bandits were Liang's army in disguise, no wonder they were carrying bows and crossbows!"

When Su Mingzhe heard that the so-called bandits were actually sent by Emperor Liang, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He took the initiative to release the news that Cui Yingying sent her father's coffin back to her hometown, with the original intention of just luring out some local powerful forces.

Now that he had provoked the then-strongest Emperor Liang, Su Mingzhe felt that the plan he had made not long ago had to be redeployed.
