Chapter 1915 - 450: Chen Jie’s Grand Plan: Digging a Tunnel into the Imperial Palace

Once the plan was arranged, Chen Jie looked at Zhu Chongba and said, "Brother Chongba, that Living Buddha’s first disciple, Dharma Ba, has the strength of the Molten God Second Transition, stronger than you, so be cautious."Upon hearing this, Liu Futong spoke, "Hmm, no problem, Chongba is cultivating the Xuanyuan Technique. Although he can’t fight beyond his rank, he can hold the other side for a while, and besides, Chongba has two good brothers under his command, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, who are skilled in battle formations. When they join together, they certainly can block people in the Heavenly Prison for a while."

Chen Jie listened to this and said, "Hmm, it doesn’t have to be long; if they can block them for an hour, then we will have achieved great success."

Zhu Chongba said, "Not just an hour, even two hours won’t be a big problem."

After saying this, Chen Jie continued to say to Fang Guozhen, "Third Brother, actually you are the most dangerous here; the Treasure Elephant Army Commander Boluo Timur is not someone easy to deal with!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Guozhen replied, "Jiu Si, don’t worry about me. Although I am certainly no match for Boluo Timur, blocking him for two hours or an hour is quite manageable. You guys tighten your side, and I guarantee not to mess things up."

After hearing Fang Guozhen’s words, Chen Jiusi nodded lightly and said, "Hmm, that’s good."

Liu Futong said, "Elders Chen Long, Chou Niu, and Mei Tu lead the troops of the Five Elements Flag outside the city; Brother Three, I’ll leave them to you, they can help you hold out for a while."

Upon hearing this, Fang Guozhen immediately said, "Alright, I haven’t commanded the Five Elements Flag in a long time. These troops are all veteran soldiers, with them, there will be no issues."

What Fang Guozhen said was spot on; these Five Elements Flag troops are veteran soldiers, the elite among the elite. It’s known that these are the battle-hardened soldiers who can fight hard against the Treasure Elephant Army, White Deer Army, and Grey Wolf Army at Bright Peak and survive.

Among them, many not only experienced the Battle of Bright Peak, but some even participated in the Battle of Wending Mountain with Han Shantong and Living Buddha Basiba back in the days.

It can be said that each one has illustrious battle achievements, experienced and witnessed the spectacle, the combat effectiveness of these veteran soldiers, and the power that can be exerted by forming into battle formations is terrifying.

Therefore, with these veteran soldiers, Fang Guozhen dealing with Boluo Timur is not that difficult.

Thinking this way, Chen Jie suddenly spoke up, "Big Brother, the Five Elements Flag has also arrived?"

Liu Futong said, "Hmm, yes."

Chen Jie said, "Then bring over the Thick Earth Flag people; I have use for them."

Liu Futong said, "Thick Earth Flag?"

Chen Jie said, "That’s right, I was worrying about how we retreat, I didn’t expect the Thick Earth Flag to come. In that case, let them handle the aftermath, perfect."

Liu Futong said, "That’s simple, I’ll send a message for the Thick Earth Banner Master to come."

While saying this, Liu Futong came to the window, made two hand gestures below, and soon, someone flew up the stairs. Liu Futong whispered a few words, that person replied positively, and then immediately left.

Having done all this, Liu Futong said, "Just wait a moment."

Returning to the room, everyone continued discussing specific details about the task. Though the main strategy didn’t change, everyone was most concerned about the details inside. If the details aren’t handled well, the result surely won’t be good.

Chen Jie and the others discussed for about a quarter-hour, then heard two wild cats’ cries from outside, Liu Futong stood up and said, "Yan Heng is here."

Saying this, he came to the window, opened it, retreated two steps, and the next moment, saw someone fly into the room.

Dressed in earth yellow, face wrinkled, with a large tobacco pipe on his waist, looking just like an old farmer.

At this time, he cupped his fist toward the people in the room and said, "Yan Heng greets the Venerable, Lord Dharma King."

Liu Futong started, "Yan Heng, Flag Captain, our Tiger King needs you for something."

Yan Heng quickly walked over, Chen Jie got up and poured a cup of water for Yan Heng, Yan Heng immediately said, "Thank you, Lord Dharma King."

Chen Jie said, "I’ve long heard of Flag Captain Yan Heng, it’s truly a great honor to meet today."

Yan Heng immediately said, "I don’t deserve such praise from Lord Dharma King; I’m just a tunnel digger. This flag captain title is just courtesy from brothers in the Holy Sect."

Chen Jie listened to this and said, "Ah, the Five Elements Flag also has a great reputation in Jianghu. The tale of Flag Captain Yan digging the mountain to rescue is something I’ve always admired deeply."

Upon hearing this, Yan Heng said, "Whatever it is, just say it directly, don’t speak like this, I can’t handle it."

Chen Jie saw his sincere and fearful manner and said, "It’s like this, I hope you lead people to dig a tunnel into the Imperial Palace! From here to here!"

Chen Jie pointed to a map on the table, gesturing from the foot of the Imperial City to the Palace on the map.

Seeing Chen Jie casually draw a line on the map, Yan Heng’s eyes widened. This expression can be seen, so much like an uninformed leader pointing randomly on a blueprint, then the puzzled local brother of Tumu, with a clueless face.

"Hmm, is it difficult?"

Chen Jie looked at Thick Earth’s Flag Captain, Yan Heng swallowed and said, "Lord Dharma King, I’m not trying to undermine you, but digging a tunnel into the Imperial City is not something ordinary people can achieve."

"Look here, it’s all blue slate underneath, just to prevent tunneling."

When discussing his profession, Yan Heng immediately exhibited his expertise, explaining that when constructing the Imperial Palace, they feared someone might dig tunnels for assassination, so during the building of the Imperial City, the first thing done was to lay blue slate and gravel layers underground during foundation work. Trying to tunnel into the Imperial Palace is as hard as climbing the sky.
