Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1440

"In this case, Wu Duona actually dares to dig the secret passage underground and go back and forth through the secret passage. She is really bold. If she is not careful enough, the secret passage will collapse, and then..."

Yun Shang squinted her eyes, and a light flashed in her mind. She raised her hand and slowly made a gesture, "Wu Duona has been staying in that courtyard before, and I didn't even see her send her people out. Is it possible that she was digging a secret passage?"

"Digging a secret passage?" Liu Man was confused, "Why did she dig the secret passage? To come and go in the city?"

Yun Shang pursed her lips, and a guess became clearer in her mind.

What kind of trap could she get rid of all the soldiers of the State of Xia?

There was neither fire nor water.

There was only sand and soil mixed land in the Wu Er'he City.

If they hollowed out the entire area of the city properly, nothing would happen to the people that usually came and went in the city.

But if a large number of troops and horses suddenly came into the city and the weight on the land suddenly increased, then...

The whole city would collapse.

Yun Shang clenched her fists in her sleeves, if the whole city collapsed, the soldiers of the State of Xia and all the people in the city would be completely buried in this desert city.

From then on, the Wu Er'he City would no longer exist.

Yun Shang told Liu Man her guess. Liu Man couldn't help but widen her eyes in disbelief. After a long silence, she quickly made a gesture and said, "If they want all the soldiers of the State of Xia who want to attack the city to be buried under this desert in the future, they don't have to bury the whole city. They can set the same trap on the way the soldiers of the State of Xia come."

Yun Shang shook her head, "There are deserts around. The sand is flowing. They don't know how thick the sand is and how difficult to operate it. But the Wu Er'he City is different. Not all the land in the city is sand. It's much easier to dig.

On the way, the soldiers should be more vigilant. If they enter the city, they will feel that they have already entered the city and are sure that there is no large-scale army of the State of Yelang guarding the city. The soldiers will be more easily trapped if they relax their vigilance."

Liu Man bit her lips and looked up at Yun Shang. "Are you sure, Your Highness, that Cangjue Qingsu and Wu Duona are plotting this?"

Yun Shang shook her head, "I'm not completely sure. But it's very likely. In fact, it's not difficult to confirm my guess. When we arrive at the next medicine shop, you can ask someone to check if there is anything unusual in the city recently.

For example..." Yun Shang paused, "for example, some places suddenly collapsed, or some places suddenly sank."

Liu Man nodded, "I'll investigate it later."

"Lady Wanna, here we are."

As soon as she got on the carriage, Liu Man said quickly, "As you expected, there are indeed some strange things in the city recently. A corner of a family's bedroom in the east of the city suddenly sank. Later, the city lord heard the news and quickly sent people to deal with it. I don't know how he comforted the family. Anyway, nothing serious happened.

There is another road that suddenly sank in broad daylight. The city lord sent someone to tell the people that the road was out of repair and someone had repaired it.

More than 10 days ago, a cave suddenly appeared in the west of the city. The city lord said that they were sending people to dig a well to find water.

These incidents are quite sensational in the city, so many people know about them. But I think there must be more than a few accidents. Maybe the city lord has sent someone to deal with them in secret, so the people don't take it too seriously."

Yun Shang nodded and smiled. "It seems that Cangjue Qingsu is really going to bury the whole city under the desert along with the soldiers who came to attack the city."

Liu Man looked up at Yun Shang and said, "Wu Duona said that she would leave the city in less than a month. Presumably, the lower part of the city has been hollowed out. What are you going to do with it?"

Before Yun Shang could answer, Liu Man continued, "Cangjue Qingsu is so vicious. He slaughtered the city when he attacked the State of Xia. I thought he was just cruel to the people of the enemy country, but I didn't expect him to be so cruel to his own people, completely ignoring the life and death of the people."

Yun Shang nodded, "He is a man who can kill his parents, relatives and brothers without hesitation for the throne, not to mention the people in the city. At that time, even if there was an accident, he could use natural disaster as an excuse to deceive the people. After all, the location of the Wu Er'he City is special. It is a desert city. All kinds of sand and dust storms are quite fierce in winter and spring every year."

"Since you tampered with Wu Duona's tea, Wu Duona must have written a lot of letters to Cangjue Qingsu. Your goal of this trip has been achieved. You can leave the Wu Er'he City first, and then go to the camp and tell the commander in the camp what Cangjue Qingsu has planned to do, so that they can bypass the city.

Then send someone into the city and tell the people in the city about Cangjue Qingsu's plan. Let them know that Cangjue Qingsu used them as bait in order to win the battle, regardless of their lives?"
