$299: He Shouldn't Talk Too Much
, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!
Su Xinyi was thoughtful. She knew Mu Xing's temperament. Although he was a bit lonely sometimes and liked to do things alone and silently, he would remember what she said to him when it came to big things.
Now, following the caravan halfway and turning back, this must be something big.
In the evening, Mu Xing came to see her.
Su Xinyi was surprised when she saw Mu Xing in the backyard. She was a bit thinner than during the Chinese New Year.
Facing the surprised look on the Crown Princess's face, Mu Xing didn't care. He said slowly: "When we were walking halfway, we found a few people from Nan Qi. Master Deng and Master Li felt something was wrong, so they asked me to follow them quietly, and then I found out that there were Tatars who were accompanying them and took them all the way to the depths of the desert.”
Su Xinyi immediately remembered the traitor, frowned slightly and looked at Mu Xing, "Did you find anything?"
"The deeper we go into the desert, the fewer people there are. I followed rashly, fearing that I would not come back alive. The two young masters asked me to come back to deliver the message. They asked people to guard the place where they met the Nanqi people, waiting for them to return. Catch the person again," Mu Xing said.
Su Xinyi was quite surprised and thought that the two cousins' method was good. It was also the most appropriate method in times of emergency. "Does anyone else in the caravan know?"
Mu Xing said: "Only Pang Daren knows, the others have not informed for the time being and found an excuse to fool them."
Su Xinyi thought that if Pang Lan knew about it, he would be more sure. He looked at Mu Xing and said: "There is a traitor in Zhangping Mansion who is working with the Tatars. I am afraid that this matter is related to this. You are really coming back this time." It's so timely. It's been a hard journey. You go and have a rest first. I'm afraid His Highness will ask you again."
Mu Xing was not surprised. He glanced at the Crown Princess and said slowly, "I can lead the way this time."
Su Xinyi was happy when he heard this, "Can you still run away?"
Mu Xing:......
He shouldn't talk too much.
Before leaving, Mu Xing looked at the Crown Princess. He hesitated before speaking: "The caravan is not very stable now. The Crown Princess should be more careful. If the two young masters want to be convinced, they must have a legitimate identity."
Su Xinyi did not expect that Mu Xing, the most lazy person to take care of things, would actually say such things to her, so she asked, "Do the people in the caravan have second thoughts?"
Mu Xing didn't nod or shake his head, he just smiled and said: "Anyway, when I leave the country this time, there are always people who say something sarcastic."
Su Xinyi knew in his mind that there could be a traitor in Zhangping Mansion, and it was not impossible for one or two people in the caravan to be bribed. At the beginning, the caravan was relatively complex, with three parties, and it was difficult to say that everyone was reliable.
Mu Xing said everything he needed to say and left very relaxedly.
Su Xin thought about not being able to take people to find the enemy Wang Ting, but she didn't expect that she would be in trouble even if she stayed in Zhangping Mansion.
She had discussed the caravan with the Crown Prince and King Rong before, and it was originally intended to be reorganized. Now it seemed that this decision was the right one, but she didn't expect that problems would arise before they took action.
When Yan Junchu came back in the evening, he saw that the lights in the room were still on. He quickened his pace and entered the door. He saw Su Xinyi wearing a middle coat leaning on the table and writing something unknown. He raised his head when he heard his footsteps. To see him.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" Yan Junchu walked over and sat next to Su Xinyi and asked.
"I'm waiting for you. I have something I want to tell you." Su Xinyi said directly.
Yan Junchu nodded, "Tell me what it is. Do you feel better today?"
Su Xinyi nodded hurriedly, "Much better, just a minor injury. It will be almost the same tomorrow."
Yan Jun didn't believe it at first, but he didn't say anything. Anyway, no matter what he said, A Yuan felt that she was too strong to care about this small injury. This shows that her life before returning to the Duke's mansion was indeed not very good.
Su Xinyi looked at His Highness with a tired look on his face, and wanted to finish the matter quickly to let him rest, so he repeated what Mu Xing said to him.
Yan Junchu's expression suddenly became stern, "No wonder we couldn't catch anyone in the city. This is because we are out of seclusion."
"His Highness arrested someone?" Su Xinyi did not expect His Highness to move so quickly.
Yan Junchu nodded slightly, "Now that the two countries are at war, it is natural to capture the person first if there is evidence, so as not to miss the important event."
"The person your Highness said you didn't catch..." Su Xinyi looked at His Highness and asked worriedly.
"Lu Qin, the prefect of Zhangping, colluded with the Tatars and leaked the movements of our army, resulting in the death of several people in He Tang."
Su Xinyi's face turned dark when he heard this, and he couldn't help but cursed, "These dog officials!"
Yan Junchu patted Su Xinyi's hand and said, "Since the news from Mu Xing is related to this matter, you rest first and I will ask carefully. Only people from the caravan waiting may not be able to succeed with one strike. I have to send someone past."
Su Xinyi knew that His Highness would do this, so he nodded, "Your Highness, just go, but it will take time to go back and forth. I don't know if I will miss His Highness's business."
Yan Junchu squeezed Xin Yi's hand and said, "If we make a mistake, we have to catch the person first. Lu Qin has found letters involving court officials, but there are still some things that don't add up. Now I listen to you. You know something is wrong, don’t worry, go to bed early.”
Su Xinyi sent the prince out. His highness's steps were hurried, and his back quickly melted into the night.
Su Xinyi could not wait for His Highness to come back that night, and she slept a little uneasily. She had a faint headache when she woke up in the morning. She cheered up, and just after breakfast, Han Qingling came to change her dressing.
This time it was very fast. Han Qingling looked at the Crown Princess' wound and relaxed a lot.
Han Qingling was in a hurry to leave after changing the medicine. Su Xinyi asked and found out that she was going to check the wounds of the injured soldiers. After hearing her words, she didn't delay her time and let her go.
Han Qingling left, but she didn't see the Crown Prince, but Prince Rong came.
When Prince Rong saw Su Xinyi, he was so surprised that he suspected he was dreaming. Why was Su Xinyi in Zhangping Prefecture?
Su Xinyi twitched her mouth at Prince Rong's look of seeing a ghost, and asked directly: "How is the prince's food and grass collection?"
Prince Rong came back to his senses and stared at Su Xinyi and said, "I can't believe you actually came with me. How could my father agree?"
Su Xinyi didn't bother to talk about this, and only asked about the food and grass.
Prince Rong: ...
"Hundreds of thousands of troops' food and grass, do you think I'm a god who can collect them with just a wave of my hand?" Prince Rong wiped his face and said.
Su Xinyi looked at the darker and thinner Prince Rong, and really couldn't say that he didn't try his best, so he said: "I didn't expect that the prince would be so serious this time. Your Highness will definitely be happy when he knows."
Prince Rong said: "That's right, I really worked too hard this time. You don't know that collecting food is such a hard job. It is said that Jiangnan is the granary of Southern Qi. This time I actually found that many granaries in prefectures and counties are empty. I was so angry that I wanted to pick up a knife and chop people."
Su Xinyi was shocked. He didn't expect there would be such a thing. "Really? How dare they?"
"What are these dog officials afraid of? I see that when they make money, they are really bolder than the sky. I have written a memorial back to Beijing, and my father will definitely see it." After Prince Rong finished speaking, he suddenly didn't know what to say.
What can he do if he knows?
Now that the Tatars are knocking on the border, the war in Zhangping Prefecture is urgent, and I'm afraid they won't be able to take care of those bastards.
How could Su Xinyi not think of what Prince Rong could think of? The two looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh.
Prince Rong instantly felt that he had found a confidant, and he complained to Su Xinyi. He talked about how he went to the countryside to collect grain in person, how he dealt with cunning and treacherous grain merchants, and how he didn't know that people could be so bad, with so many tricks, and that there were so many ways to do business.
Su Xinyi had never heard of many things, and she was very interested in listening to Prince Rong's talk. One talked and the other listened, and they waited for the prince to come back unknowingly.
Yan Junchu had already received the news that Prince Rong had returned, and he had brought a large amount of grain and grass. Now the grain carts were placed outside the city, and the people of Zhangping Prefecture were boiling.
The people in the city were boiling because of the grain, because the sluggish atmosphere after the Tatars robbed the grain was instantly swept away.
Prince Rong turned around and saw his elder brother, and stood up happily, "Brother, you are back. Did you see the food I brought you?"
Yan Junchu smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work this time. The people of Zhangping Prefecture will also thank you."
Prince Rong smiled proudly, with his hands on his waist, "Of course, I don't know how much hardship I have endured to get these food. Brother, you don't know, my younger brother really suffered this time..."
Su Xinyi couldn't help laughing. Yan Junchu walked to her and sat down. Facing her playful smile, the corners of his lips also curled slightly. Prince Rong did solve part of his problem this time. Although these food and grass are not enough, the current difficulties can be alleviated a lot, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.
Prince Rong hadn't finished complaining to his elder brother. When he looked up, he saw his elder brother and Su Xinyi's smiles were exactly the same. He choked back his words. What did he want to say?
Yan Junchu felt that since Prince Rong was here, he couldn't be idle. Lu Qin hadn't interrogated him yet, so he could go over and continue the interrogation.
"Let me try Lu Qin?" Prince Rong looked at his elder brother's expression seriously. He was not joking, it was true.
Yan Junchu nodded, "Seventh brother, Lu Qin still has something to explain. At least he refused to say the mastermind in the capital. Now the presiding judge is Yang Jin's subordinates. It is not easy to torture him. I can't take care of him for the time being, so I can only trouble you, seventh brother."
Prince Rong had never been a presiding judge. Hearing his elder brother's serious tone, he felt proud. Look, he can't do without him, so he agreed in one breath.
Su Xinyi:...
How come Prince Rong is getting easier to fool? If it were before, he would definitely jump up and give up. Now he didn't object at all and just agreed?
Perhaps Su Xinyi's gaze was too obvious, and Prince Rong stiffened his neck, "What's that look in your eyes?"
