YM778.TV Chapter 329 - 329 WHO WOULD LEAVE, WHO WOULD STAY
When he glanced at Wu Jinhai, Yu Ming, and Wu Jingguo, none of them looked surprised by the Emperor’s suggestion. It seemed that the three of them expected that the Emperor would prefer to act with full caution rather than attack the enemy openly.
But, Bai Chen still could not understand some things of the Emperor’s idea, and that was why he broke the silence in the pavilion by saying, “I can understand that only Wu Jinhai and Yu laoban can infiltrate Dong Lang at this time because of the barrier surrounding the empire, but why should we choose one of them, Your Majesty? Why don’t we let the two of them infiltrate Dong Lang together? If they go together, it will be safer for them, right?”
Even if Bai Chen was extremely slow sometimes, he could understand Wu Shun’s suggestion that they should not alarm the enemy because they still didn’t know how strong their enemy was, but he still couldn’t understand why only one person had to enter Dong Lang quietly.
“That is because only Xiao Hai and Xiao Ming can communicate with each other using telepathy, Prince Bai Chen,” The Emperor immediately replied. “I don’t understand the principle of that ability, but I remember how Xiao Ming once told me that demons of the same kind might have the ability to communicate with each other using telepathy. Of course, Xiao Hai and Xiao Ming couldn’t cultivate that ability right away, and they had to train together for a long time before finally mastering the ability. With that ability, the two would be able to communicate with each other even if they were far apart. Do you see what I mean, Prince Bai Chen?”
It was a long explanation that had come from Wu Shun, and Bai Chen needed time to digest the entire explanation because his brain couldn’t work too fast even now.
He still remembered how Wu Jinhai mentioned that he communicated with Yu Ming during the Beast Hunting Event held in the Forbidden Forest. Just then, chaos occurred within the forest, and the event participants couldn’t easily leave the forest due to the obstructions around the forest. But Wu Jinhai managed to communicate with Yu Ming back then, and Yu Ming was also able to enter the Forbidden Forest despite the barrier.
Bai Chen didn’t know what technique Yu Ming used to enter the Forbidden Forest back then, but he had to admit that the telepathy between the two men was indeed useful in such a situation.
“So, you want one person to enter Dong Lang while the other wait outside Dong Lang, and after the person who entered Dong Lang manages to gather sufficient information, that person will report the situation to the other person waiting outside, Your Majesty?” Carefully, Bai Chen asked the Emperor as he managed to understand the situation better after taking some time to think to himself.
.....
Hearing his question, Wu Shun nodded his head. “That’s right, Prince Bai Chen,” he replied verbally. “It has been a long time since we fought the demons, and that’s why we don’t know their current level of strength. Moreover, we also don’t know how strong the Black Werewolf Clan is because we have never fought against them, and that is why we must not be reckless in this situation. Even if we might not be able to completely map out their strength, we can at least gather information about their numbers, right? That’s why we must gather information secretly before sending troops to rescue your father as well as your people.”
Once again, Bai Chen fell silent after hearing the Emperor’s words. It was understandable for the Emperor to want to take precautions in this situation. Years ago, Wu Li and Dong Lang needed to team up to defeat the demons, and sure enough, there were heavy casualties back then. If the Emperor didn’t make careful calculations, something like that might happen again, and as the ruler of the empire, Wu Shun definitely wouldn’t want to sacrifice his people, right?
More or less, Bai Chen could understand Wu Shun’s intentions, and that was why he finally nodded at the older man. “I understand, Your Majesty,” he replied. “But, how are you going to choose between Wu Jinhai and Yu laoban to infiltrate Dong Lang secretly?”
Bai Chen didn’t know about Yu Ming, but Wu Jinhai was definitely strong. However, when he recalled how Wu Jinhai had constantly boasted about his master, it seemed that Yu Ming was also strong and capable, and that was why the two of them were probably equally strong.
“I think it would be best if Xiao Hai and Xiao Ming made the decision. They know each other very well, and I’m sure they will be able to judge which of them should enter Dong Lang while the other is waiting at Wu Li,” The Emperor answered Bai Chen’s question while looking at the two men in turn.
Bai Chen also looked at the two men, and he didn’t know how the two men would make their decision after the Emperor let them decide.
Who would leave? Who would stay? How would they decide that?
At this time, Wu Jinhai and Yu Ming also looked at each other. At a glance, it seemed like the two of them were just looking at each other normally, but Bai Chen somehow thought that they were communicating without even needing to utter a word.
Right. Wu Jinhai and Yu Ming could use telepathy to communicate with each other, and Bai Chen was sure that they were discussing themselves without involving the others now.
It seemed the Emperor could also see through the true situation, and that was why he didn’t press the two men to decide.
And after the inside of the pavilion was shrouded in silence for a moment, Yu Ming finally broke the silence, “We have decided, Your Majesty. The person who will secretly infiltrate Dong Lang is…”
