Xu Yan was so confident because she had acted as Zhou Tingna before.
She had not failed; instead, she had succeeded, leaving Zhou Tingna speechless and suffering considerable hardship and losses.
Wen Shangyin lit a cigarette and looked at Xu Yan. He inwardly praised her plan but did not show any emotion on his face. "If you succeed in transferring the supplies, where will you put them?"
If only part of the scheme succeeded and there was a mishap with the supplies, it would be a case of losing both the wife and the soldiers.
Then, all their efforts would be in vain, and they would also anger Shang Qi Su Ling, ultimately leading to their annihilation.
The group of Xu Du in the prison area was the best example of this.
Wen Shangyin's question successfully stumped Xu Yan.
Xu Yan fell silent. She lowered her eyes, bit her lip, and after thinking for a while, she looked up at Wen Shangyin with bright eyes. "This is simple. I'll have someone transfer the supplies to that forest. You arrange for people to take over and conduct a second transfer. How about that?"
This was the best solution Xu Yan could think of.
If Wen Shangyin refused, then she would truly be at her wit's end, with no other options.
Her brain capacity was limited, and this was all she could come up with; she couldn't think of anything more.
Upon hearing Xu Yan's words, Wen Shangyin met Song Lian's gaze and asked, "What do you think?"
Song Lian met Wen Shangyin's questioning look and nodded in agreement. "Then let her do it. She'll disguise herself as Su Ling and transfer the supplies. We'll arrange for people to guard the forest in advance. Once the supplies arrive, we'll transfer them and hide them."
"I don't think we need to hide them. We should set off directly and transfer them back to the imperial capital. City A is not a place for us to stay long-term; we will return to the imperial capital sooner or later. It's better to take this opportunity to 'return in triumph'."
Since they couldn't win against Shang Qi Su Ling, their only option was to settle for the next best thing and return to the imperial capital.
What Song Lian said was exactly what Wen Shangyin intended. He nodded. "I agree with you."
After saying this, Wen Shangyin looked at Song Lian. "Then, tomorrow morning, when Su Ling and the others begin their actions, we will also act. The bigger the commotion, the better, so they can see our every move and know that we are leaving."
As he spoke, Wen Shangyin stroked his chin, a plan forming in his mind. "Why don't we pack everything properly in advance, successfully transfer the supplies, and then leave immediately. By the time Su Ling and the others react, we will have already been on our way for some time!"
Wen Shangyin thought it through well and felt the plan was feasible.
However, Song Lian thought even deeper than Wen Shangyin.
Song Lian looked at Wen Shangyin. "Then we must discuss thoroughly tonight to ensure there are no flaws in the plan."
This was a matter of success or failure; it was either all or nothing.
This was not the same as going to the prison area to subdue those people. This matter was more critical. If handled improperly, it would all fall apart.
Wen Shangyin nodded and looked at Song Lian. "I'll do as you say."
Then, Wen Shangyin looked at Xu Yan. "You also don't rest tonight. Practice your abilities well to ensure there are no mistakes when you impersonate Su Ling. You must understand that you are now on the same boat as us. If you make a mistake, we will all be implicated. Not only will you die, but we will not escape death!"
Xu Yan nodded. She understood her importance in the plan.
...
At the mobile castle.
Chu Jin looked at Su Ling. "That's all of it."
Su Ling let out a cold laugh. "Since that's the case, then we'll play along with their show!"
