The concubine escaped and cried when she met the prince again

Chapter 303: Departure to Beinan Mountain at Night

After hearing what Shen Ruolan said, Lieutenant General Xu looked at her in confusion, but thinking of General Su's instructions, he still followed Shen Ruolan's words and circled several checkpoints.

Shen Ruolan confirmed the rescue plan again and again. After making sure that there was nothing serious, she said to Deputy General Xu: "Get ready, we will set off tonight."

When Lieutenant General Xu heard that they were leaving tonight, he hesitated for a moment and asked Shen Ruolan, "Madam, why do you choose to leave tonight?"

Shen Ruolan said, "I heard from the villagers that in the past two months, there have been people hanging around outside Fuzhai. So, to ensure that nothing goes wrong, we'd better set off overnight."

Deputy General Xu thought what Shen Ruolan said made sense, so he bowed to her and said, "Yes, I will prepare it right away."

Shen Ruolan looked at his back and warned: "Remember, don't let the news leak out. Let everyone be ready to go at any time."

"Yes," replied Lieutenant General Xu.

After Shen Ruolan arranged for Deputy General Xu, she found Ji Han and asked, "Ji Han, how many explosive packs have been loaded?"

Ji Han reported to his master: "My Lord, there are nearly three hundred of them."

When Shen Ruolan heard that there were nearly 300 of them, she roughly estimated in her mind and said, "Prepare 60 of them and set off at night."

"Yes, master." Ji Han replied.

"Go call Shen Jing over." Shen Ruolan continued to instruct Ji Han.

"Yes, master." After Ji Han finished speaking, he turned around and went out to find Shen Jing.

Not long after, Shen Jing came to his sister's room and asked, "Master, are you looking for me?"

Shen Ruolan looked at him and asked, "How is everyone's archery practice going?"

Shen Jing said: "It's a little better than before."

Shen Ruolan: "Pick out 500 people and set out to Beinan Mountain at night."

After Shen Jing heard what his sister said, he looked at her with sparkling eyes and asked, "Master, can I go with you?"

Shen Ruolan glanced at him and said, "Well, don't tell everyone about tonight's mission for now."

"Yes, I understand." After Shen Jing finished speaking, he hurried out the door.

Shen Ruolan explained the matters concerning the soldiers and generals, and then found her grandfather and said, "Grandpa, I have to go out for a few days. I'll have to trouble you to look after the two children for me."

She wouldn't trust anyone else to leave her child with except her grandfather.

What made her even more distressed was that this time when she went out, her two children would be completely deprived of milk.

She had originally planned to let them eat until they could walk, but now they are two months away from turning one, and the children will not be able to walk until they can eat.

Shen Qi looked at his granddaughter, sighed and said, "Lan'er, whatever you want to do, just go ahead and do it. Grandpa will help you take care of the children."

His granddaughter was destined to be extraordinary, and some things could not be stopped even if one wanted to.

So, he has now come to terms with it. As long as his granddaughter is willing, he will just support her silently.

Shen Ruolan looked at her grandfather with a grateful face and said, "Well, thank you very much, Grandpa."

"Silly girl, why are you thanking grandpa?" Shen Qi said, looking at his granddaughter and saying, "Lan'er, no matter what you want to do, please remember to ensure your personal safety. Got it?"

Shen Ruolan said to her grandfather with a serious face: "Grandpa, I will."

After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she chatted with her grandfather for a while before making arrangements with Aunt Liu, Ji Ning and others, instructing them to help her take good care of the children while she was away.

That night, after dinner, Shen Ruolan led everyone down the mountain.

At the entrance of the village, Jiang Qing was waiting with a dozen people.

When Shen Ruolan came down the mountain and saw Jiang Qing, she looked him up and down and asked, "Why, Madam, are you going with us too?"

His health had just improved a little. If he really went with her, it would be hard to say whether he could come back alive.

Jiang Qing looked at Shen Ruolan and said, "It's not convenient for me to go with you. My body doesn't allow it, so let Ma Mao and his men go with you. If you have anything to do, just send them."

The reason why he came forward was the same as that of General Su, so the best way was to let his subordinates follow Shen Ruolan and give her a helping hand in secret.

Shen Ruolan glanced at Ma Mao and the others, then said to Jiang Qing, "In that case, let's go."

After she finished speaking, she took the lead and walked forward.

Ma Mao and others hurriedly followed.

Du Fang looked at the backs of Shen Ruolan and the others as they walked away, and asked his master, "Master, do you think Miss Shen and the others will succeed?"

Jiang Qing looked at the dragon-like team and said to his subordinates, "If the news is correct and there are no troops from Xia Country in there, then they still have a good chance of winning this time."

After all, there are only about a thousand people in the entire Beinan Mountain. Shen Ruolan has 500 people of her own, plus Deputy General Xu's 500 people, a total of 1,000 people. As long as they have no external aid, rescuing people will not be a big problem.

Du Fang looked into the distance and said, "I hope the Xia army is not here."

Otherwise, once a conflict breaks out and the Xia army intervenes, Shen Ruolan’s situation will not be such a good ending.

After Jiang Qing and the others could no longer see Shen Ruolan and her team, he said to his subordinates, "Let's go back to the house."

"Yes," Du Fang replied.

In Shen Ruolan's yard, Shen Hui paced back and forth and said to his grandfather: "Grandpa, just let me go. I promise nothing bad will happen."

Shen Qi was coaxing his two little great-grandsons. Seeing his grandsons repeatedly clamoring to go with his granddaughter, he looked up and glared at them, scolding them: "If you don't listen, get out of here and go back to Medicine King Valley!"

On the surface, Lan'er's case was a fight between two bandit chiefs, but in reality it was a secret rivalry between the two countries of Beixia. If the people from their Medicine King Valley really went there, they would never be able to clear themselves of the guilt even if they jumped into the Yellow River.

Shen Hui wanted to say something, but Shen Yizi at the side pulled him aside and said, "Third brother, it's right to listen to grandpa."

Grandpa cares about Cousin Lan more than any of them, so he must have his own reasons for choosing to stand by and watch.

Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, Shen Hui had no choice but to sit on the chair with a depressed look on his face.

Four days later, Shen Ruolan, led by Lieutenant General Xu, and her group finally reached the outskirts of Beinan Mountain.

Shen Ruolan looked at the mountains not far away. According to the terrain they had walked along, Beinan Mountain was actually not far from their Fuzhai. However, there was a primitive mountain range in between, so they did not dare to cross it directly from Fuzhai. Otherwise, they would reach this place in two days at most.

Deputy General Xu said to Shen Ruolan, "Madam, those bandits live in this mountain. Should we go in today or continue to observe?"

According to General Su's plan, when they arrived here, they rushed directly into the mountains to rescue people.

Shen Ruolan thought for a moment and said to Deputy General Xu, "Let someone cook first, and we'll talk about it after everyone has eaten their fill."

"Yes, ma'am." When Lieutenant General Xu heard the cooking, he realized that he was very hungry and he really needed to eat enough to have the strength to work.
