Chapter 263 Careful Planning
Chapter 263 Careful Planning
"The Qin in Qin King circling the pillar, the Xing in sparks of fire, and the He in peace and tranquility." Shen Yiyi said word by word.
"What is a spark?" The gentleman suddenly became interested.
"A single spark can start a prairie fire." Shen Yiyi replied.
Hearing this, the gentleman suddenly became excited.
He stood up suddenly, opened his arms, made a flying motion, and said softly to Shen Yiyi:
"Two little bees, flying among the flowers..."
What a stupid code… Miss Shen rolled her eyes in her heart and sighed.
Then he also weakly flapped his hands like a wing and responded softly:
"Fly, fly..." Then, she raised her arms high and said helplessly, "Are you sure you want me to slap you?"
The gentleman quickly shook his head, indicating that it was not necessary.
But he then said in a joyful tone: "Ah, Commissioner, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
As he spoke, the gentleman stepped forward and tightly grasped Miss Shen's hand, as enthusiastically as if she were a relative whom he had not seen for a long time.
"If I hadn't heard you tell me the code of King Qin's circling the pillar, I wouldn't have believed that this plan has finally been launched! Now, I can finally be put to good use!"
Shen Yiyi also grabbed his hand, shook it a few times in response, and replied:
"Okay, you should just call me Xiao Qin. Don't ever call me a special envoy again. If I let something slip, it will be a disaster."
The gentleman smiled and nodded, then pulled Shen Yiyi to sit on the glove box nearby.
"Wait here for a moment. I will prepare the bracelet for you first."
After saying that, he returned to his desk and started operating a device.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to wait, Shen Yiyi also looked around.
Half of this office is filled with sundries and tools that are not dangerous.
The other half was filled with boxes of stuff that served as chairs.
On a desk, there is a wristband preparation machine and a lot of documents.
Apparently, this is where this gentle man works.

Shen Yiyi carefully recalled the information about the gentleman in her mind.
His name was Taikodo, and he was a key chess piece that Takeda Nagayoshi had hidden in the Bastille long ago.
He was jailed on charges of hatching a sinister plan to inflict heavy damage on the army.
However, due to his noble status as a superior, he was not executed, but sentenced to life imprisonment and abandoned in the darkness of the Bastille.
If Shen Yiyi had not shown up this time, Taigu Tang might have spent the rest of his life as a prisoner in this gloomy prison.
In the detailed information provided by Takeda Nagayoshi, Taikodo is portrayed as a trustworthy warrior with noble beliefs.
He is a typical idealist who is willing to give up everything in the world, even his precious life, for the ideals and beliefs in his heart.
In fact, if we carefully examine the plan they are about to put into action, it is not difficult to find that the importance of Taikoo Hall has actually surpassed Qin Xinghe, who is disguised as Shen Yiyi.
After all, if Qin Xinghe met with an accident, Li Xinghe, Zhao Xinghe and others would soon come to replace him;
But if problems arise with Taikoo Hall, the entire plan will be paralyzed and will be difficult to continue.
Taikoo Hall has spent nearly ten long years in this dark prison.
This also indirectly shows that at least ten years ago, Takeda Nagayoshi had already begun to use the Bastille as a breakthrough point to carefully plan his grand plan to overthrow the royal rule of the Japanese Empire.
Although Shen Yiyi had many doubts about people like Taigu Tang, this did not prevent her from paying him the highest respect.
Ever since she saw the information about Taikodo and its mission from Takeda Nagayoshi, Shen Yiyi couldn't help but put herself in the shoes of the people and asked herself:
If it were me, would I be able to shoulder this heavy responsibility?
The answer is undoubtedly no.
Shen Yiyi and Taigutang are two completely different people.
Shen Yiyi would never put herself in a dangerous place like the Bastille because of her ideals.
Nor will I give up everything for an undetermined task.
Miss Shen's appearance in the Bastille today was actually caused by the push of countless people.
If it were up to her, her real dream would be to retire quickly and travel around the world to find her sisters.
However, Taikoo Hall is completely different.
He, a pure-blooded superior, possessed unimaginable privileges and honors in the country of Riyuan.
He made outstanding contributions in the army and was promoted to lieutenant colonel staff officer at the Xianghe Taita City Garrison Command. His future was bright.

But such a promising man actually rashly adopted a reckless and aggressive strategy in the operation to encircle and suppress the Orange Army, which resulted in several squadrons being lured deep into the enemy's territory by the Orange Army and completely annihilated.
In that brutal battle, the only son of the deputy commander of the Xianghe Taida City Garrison Military District, a second-generation military man who had wanted to take this opportunity to earn some honor, unfortunately died.
This incident also led to Taikoo Tang being sentenced to life imprisonment for dereliction of duty and imprisoned in the Bastille, thus starting his life of hiding.
Shen Yiyi was full of admiration for Taikoo Hall's decision, yet found it hard to accept.
You know, Tai Gu Tang is by no means a man of humble origin, he possesses a prominent social status and military power, and has never suffered oppression and exploitation.
Based solely on the ideals of fairness and justice, he resolutely gave up his originally happy life - a warm family with a lovely wife and two lovely children.
If it were Shen Yiyi, he asked himself, if he had a life like that in Taikoo Hall, he would definitely follow the rules and would not even speed when driving, let alone give up everything and be willing to spend the rest of his life in prison.
What kind of power drove him to make such a choice? Was his choice selfish or selfless? And was it worth it? Shen Yiyi could not give an answer, nor could she raise such a question in front of him.
But this did not prevent him from casting admiring eyes towards the busy Taikoo Hall at this moment.
"Special Envoy, let me report to you the current situation here."
Taigutang had prepared the bracelet and handed it to Shen Yiyi, and continued:
"Due to the Orange Army's raid some time ago, the prison's security has been stepped up. A squadron of tree armor guards was stationed outside the prison about a week before you came."
Shen Yiyi took the bracelet, put it on her wrist, moved it around, and responded:
"This is a good thing. Only when there is a surge in people can we fish in troubled waters."
Then, he took the folder handed over by Taikoo Hall, began to fill out the information, and continued to ask:
“Do I have the people, tools, and parts I need?”
Taigutang nodded:
"Everything is ready. Currently, we have more than eighty comrades in the Bastille, and we have also transported the tools and parts you requested here by various means. However..."
He hesitated for a moment and added,
"But we can't use these things for more than two days at a time, because every three days there will be an inventory and registration of tools and equipment. If they are not in the specified place during the inspection, it will trigger an alarm."

Hearing this, Shen Yiyi nodded, and after thinking for a while, she responded:
"Each use lasts less than two days, and it's only necessary to use it once at a critical moment."
After that, he finished writing the form and handed it to Taigutang, while continuing to ask:
"How is the communication between those poor members of the royal family and the military going?"
Hearing Shen Yiyi use the word "poverty-stricken" to describe those fallen nobles, Taigutang smiled knowingly and replied:
"Because of my status as a superior, they still trust me. This particularly leisurely job for me was also arranged by them."
"However, although they can provide me with some convenience, they do not believe that the plan can allow them to escape. I still need to do more work in this regard."
"They..." Shen Yiyi hesitated for a moment and then asked,
"How much did you tell them about the jailbreak plan? How many people knew about it?"
Taigutang replied: "Don't worry, the only ones who know our detailed plan are Emperor Macbeth's brother, Prince Macbeth, and former former naval commander Titanic."
"These two men are a thorn in Macbeth's side. If he doesn't fight them off, they will die in prison."
"As for the others, they just know that someone is trying to escape from prison. There are at least 800 people in the Bastille who are talking about escaping from prison, if not a thousand. It won't attract anyone's attention."
