Chapter 255 Farewell

Chapter 255 Farewell

Ning Fengzhe held his breath and concentrated, trying his best to observe the road ahead and guess the terrain. After a lot of thought, he finally got a clue.

Considering Xier's plan, he smiled slightly and gave a conclusion.

"Take this road."

"There will be an ambush on the road, and then there will be a battle array. If you are not careful, you will be surrounded by them. Wait for my carriage to go first, and you will follow closely. Follow my orders."

Thinking about Lord An's instructions, Lou Xiu Yu gave him face and responded respectfully at first.

"Yes."

After that, he said what was in his mind.

"I have something to say, and I hope Lord Ning will think twice."

"This steep mountain road may lead to a higher place, occupying the advantage of terrain, and with the neighboring mountains, it forms an encirclement. In my humble opinion, this is a place of ambush from all sides given by God."

"If they had taken this mountain road and faced us head-on, we wouldn't necessarily be at a disadvantage. But if they chose this main road, we would be surrounded and unable to escape!"

"After careful consideration, this mountain road is the best option. The road is narrow and rugged, so please abandon the carriage and walk instead."

Ning Fengzhe also gave face and responded as he was told.

"Master Lou has a great idea."

After the compliment, he smiled and refuted.

"I have three questions. Lord Lou, please answer them."

"First, they arrived early and chose the mountain road. They were not here for fun, so they couldn't be unprepared. Lord Lou, if they were ambushed and fell off the cliff on such a narrow and steep road, how should the guards rescue each other?"

"Secondly, they chose the main road, and according to the time, they must have reached their destination. We are going up the mountain road, and lighting the lamp will reveal our whereabouts. If we climb the mountain on foot, we will not reach the top and be ambushed from all sides. They will retreat when they see that the situation is not good. If we don't light the lamp, there is a risk of falling, which will not only endanger the lives of the adults, but also may alert the enemy. Let me ask you again, Lord Lou, do you light the lamp when you are walking on a dangerous road at night?"

"Third, this is the plan of my third sister. I know very well that she is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see the guards take the dangerous mountain road. Finally, Lord Lou, do I know her better, or do you know yourself and the enemy better?"

Lou Xiu Yu was speechless for a moment.

I have to say that Lord Ning is very thoughtful and is not just worrying about nothing.

Ning Yunxi planned it, and they got into the game, but they were a step late and missed the right time, making it difficult for them to gain the advantage of the terrain.

His mind calmed down for a moment, and he looked out into the distance and sighed.

"Master Ning is right, but... it's a pity that we can't use this precious land given by God."

Ning Fengzhe was calm and composed, and took the situation at ease.

"Master Lou, please rest assured that Xi'er will definitely choose the dangerous path and we will definitely not be trapped."

"In fact, Xi'er's plan is easy to understand with a little thought, and the situation can be broken in a blink of an eye."

Lou Xiu Yu bowed in greeting.

"Master Ning, please enlighten me."

The unrestrained mountain breeze brought a cool breeze to his face. Ning Fengzhe gently stroked his hair and let it flow down his back.

He turned his eyes and stared, raised his sleeves, and gave precise instructions, taking into account every detail and being meticulous.

"Xi'er will choose this main road and set up an ambush on the road to stop us from moving forward, forcing us to retreat and take the small road."

"If the ambush fails, there will be a battle formation. Either they retreat upon hearing the news and take a small road; or they get caught in the battle formation and can surround us from all sides."

"This plan was originally intended for Lord Feng. She is not good at arranging battle formations, so she can only retreat to a small path or even down the mountain. The advantages of the terrain are self-evident. They occupy the high ground, block the main roads, and fire arrows at them. No matter who they are, they will definitely not be able to return."

"The original intention of the ambush was to think that if Lord Feng didn't come, we wouldn't have to mobilize a large number of troops and use clever formations to deal with the two powerful officials of the Tongshitai."

After hearing the explanation, Lou Xiu Yu understood clearly. He felt as if the clouds had been cleared and the sun had appeared. He was filled with awe.

"Lord Ning is very far-sighted and has great foresight. I am humbled by your kindness."

He smiled with relief, his face radiant.

"How could Princess Yuexi have expected that the person who came was not Lord Feng, but Lord Ning?"

"With Lord Ning here, we will definitely be able to break through the formation and catch them off guard!"

Ning Fengzhe lowered his eyebrows and nodded, showing respect.

"Lord Lou, your praise is too great. I am ashamed to accept it."

He raised his lips slightly, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Now that that's been explained, can we get going?"

Lou Xiu Yu took the initiative to give way and politely invited.

"Yes, you can. Lord Ning, please go first."

Ning Fengzhe looked into the distance and gave instructions to the coachman.

"Walk."

Thinking of Zhuang Shao's miserable defeat, his brows curled up in a cold and arrogant manner, as if he had already secured victory.

After walking for about a cup of tea, Ning Fengzhe stopped the carriage.

"Not far ahead is the ambush site."

Lou Xiu Yu responded respectfully and turned to give orders to his men.

"okay."

"Someone, scout the way."

Several guards went out to explore the way, and came back after a while.

"Reporting to the Lord, there is no ambush ahead."

Lou Xiu Yu was shocked in disbelief.

"how could be?"

"Did you read that correctly?"

As he spoke, he looked around, pretending to be casual, and glanced at Ning Fengzhe lightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Without waiting for the guard to respond, Ning Fengzhe said in a deep voice.

"In that case, keep moving forward."

With doubts, Lou Xiu Yu walked to the next suitable ambush place.

After further investigation, it was found that there was still no ambush.

He couldn't help but ask.

"Excuse me, Master Ning, what is going on?"

Ning Fengzhe remained calm and gave a reason.

"When they see a carriage ahead of them from a high place, they will guess that it is Lord Feng coming."

"The ambush was useless and the guards lost their men in vain, so they withdrew the ambush, not wanting to waste time."

Lou Xiu Yu smiled suddenly and felt relieved.

"I see. Lord Ning is indeed very insightful."

Thinking that he was about to reach the battle formation, he was secretly looking forward to it.

I have often heard rumors that Ning Yunxi is unparalleled in strategy, but I have never truly seen it. Today, I finally have the opportunity to broaden my horizons.

As a result, after waiting all the way, he didn't see any situation, and he was puzzled.

"Master Ning, where is Princess Yuexi's formation?"

Ning Fengzhe smiled disdainfully, his eyes arrogant, as if he had the situation under control and knew it well.

"I think the person who implemented the plan was so stupid that he forgot to set up the battle formation."

Lou Xiu Yu was shocked.

"Princess Yuexi is so ignorant of people that she would hand over such an important strategy to a foolish person?"

"If it were me, I would definitely hand it over to Lord Fang. Even if my plan fails, Lord Fang would be able to turn danger into safety with his own strength, or even turn defeat into victory."

"How could Princess Yuexi not trust you?"

"Is there a hidden dispute between them over who is the number one strategist?"

In fact, Ning Fengzhe had already realized that he had miscalculated.

He didn't say it explicitly because he didn't want to admit that he was defeated by Zhuang Shao.

He looked up at the night sky, his eyes calm and composed, without revealing a single expression, only smiling coldly in his heart.

Haha... he was just lucky. He had the right timing and location. Even if he succeeded, it would be an unfair victory!

And I, though defeated, am still honorable.

Now there is no way to evacuate.

Alas, it is a pity that I have not fulfilled my ambitions and have to die here.

Xi'er, you and I are brother and sister, and we will never see each other again...
