Chapter 369 The Investigation Has Been Completed
After hearing Lin Li's analysis, Chen Furong immediately understood.
"Then shall I have someone arrange it now?"
"Okay, but remember not to reveal it..."
Chen Furong glanced at Lin Li, "Okay."
At the hour of Hai (9-11 PM), Lin Haide's soldiers suddenly rushed in, shouting, "It's terrible! The enemy has launched a surprise attack and burned all our supplies outside the city..."
"Report, Prince Duan, our men have spotted enemy forces in Qingquan Town. When the army set up camp outside the city, all the fine horses were fed croton seeds, so they may not be able to arrive as planned..."
After a series of bad news, Lin Haide looked at Prince Duan with disbelief.
"This……"
Prince Duan was furious!
"What are you all doing? Investigate this thoroughly!"
After emerging from the tent, Prince Duan looked at several camps not far away, his dark eyes revealing deep thought.
"General Lin, could they have been behind this?"
"Does 'Prince Duan' refer to Chen Furong and others?"
Prince Duan nodded.
"But what is their purpose in doing this? What benefit would they gain from our defeat?"
At that time, I'm afraid the emperor will be even more furious.
"No, I heard that Chen Furong and Lu Hanting are fellow disciples. She's probably doing this because she's waiting for Lu Hanting to arrive..."
"This is outrageous!"
Prince Duan got close to Lin Haide.
"General Lin, things have already come to this point, so let's just go all the way and..."
Duan Dynasty made a gesture.
Upon hearing this, Lin Haide's eyes flickered, and then he clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Then I will trouble Prince Duan."
Lin Haide smiled.
After emerging from Lin Haide's tent, Prince Duan spat.
That old fox, if I hadn't needed his help, how could I have been manipulated by him?
Chen Furong and Lin Li weren't stupid. They knew that Lin Haide would definitely not forgive them for doing such a thing, so after the deed was done, they quickly left the camp with their men.
At this time, Lu Hanting was leading his men on their way to Qingquan Town, which was still more than ten miles away.
Through the hazy smog, Liu Yun saw indistinct figures rushing towards them in the distance. He turned back and shouted to the people behind him, "Be on guard!"
The archers behind him immediately went on alert.
However, after Lu Hanting saw the figure rushing towards him, he immediately waved to the archer.
"lay down!"
"Prince, this..."
"It's one of our own."
"Ah! It looks like there's an enemy presence..."
Lu Hanting glanced at him expressionlessly.
Just as Liu Yun was about to ask who it was, a rough female voice shouted, "Third Senior Brother, it's me, Chen Furong!"
Liu Yun scratched his head; it turned out she was the prince's junior sister.
Those are definitely our own people.
"Miss Chen, what brings you here?"
Upon seeing Lin Li behind him, Liu Yun gave him a cold glance.
Lin Li is the Empress's man. If he weren't with Miss Chen right now, he wouldn't even bother to look at him.
Faced with Liu Yun's cold stare, Lin Li smiled bitterly, realizing that he was indeed not on their side.
"Third Senior Brother, Prince Duan and Lin Haide's men have colluded. They were planning to attack the rebels last night, but Vice General Lin and I thwarted their plan..."
"so……"
Lu Hanting glanced at her sideways.
"Hehe, I just wanted to leave the opportunity to make a contribution to you, Third Senior Brother."
Chen Furong looked at Lu Hanting ingratiatingly.
"Miss Chen, you are truly a loyal friend!"
Listening to this, Liu Yun thought to herself that they could be considered fellow disciples, no wonder Aunt Wu liked to associate with Miss Chen.
"Commander Lu, you must speed things up, otherwise I fear that by the time they realize what's happening, your men might find nothing..."
As Lin Li spoke, Lu Hanting's sharp gaze swept over him.
Lin Li stood there, neither arrogant nor humble, letting him scrutinize her.
"Very well, Deputy General Lin, I am indebted to you today!"
Lu Hanting looked at the army behind him.
"Speed up!"
Treasure House.
Ye Qingyun, wearing a silver mask, appeared at the auction.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today our Jubao Tower has many items up for auction. Please feel free to bid on anything that catches your eye."
As is customary, the best and most prized treasure will be saved for last…
As soon as Ye Qingyun finished speaking, a continuous stream of complaints arose in the room.
"We all came here today for An Sheng Bao Ji Wan, but they actually saved the treasure for last. Isn't that just teasing us?"
"Yeah, that's disappointing, I won't come again!"
"Mr. Ye, could you please let us see what's so special about this divine object that saved His Majesty?"
Ye Qingyun smiled as he looked at the crowd below the stage.
"We are very sorry, but the items auctioned at our Jubao Tower will only be displayed during the auction!"
Ye Qingyun did not tolerate these people.
After all, there are many important people who come to Jubaolou for auctions, while those shouting and hawking below are generally small fry.
Inside a private room on the second floor, the princess sipped her tea, completely oblivious to the noise outside.
However, the soundproofing of the private room was very good, so not much noise came in.
Ye Qingyun told herself that Wu Weiwei would be keeping the appointment today, but she did not tell her the specific time.
At this moment, Ye Qingyun, who was backstage, couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Although she and the princess assured Wu Weiwei that she would keep the appointment, she was really unsure whether she would actually come.
However, remembering that she was still holding a card, Ye Qingyun immediately felt relieved.
"Knock knock!"
Manager Lin walked in.
"Mr. Ye, a guest has arrived at the door. She's insisting on going into the second-floor private room number '人'..."
Ye Qingyun frowned.
The three private rooms on the second floor, namely Tiandiren, are all for VIPs.
The eldest princess is currently in the "Heaven" VIP room, while the "Human" VIP room was prepared by her for Wu Weiwei. As for the "Earth" VIP room, it's currently empty.
Without her permission, the shopkeeper dared not let ordinary customers in.
Ye Qingyun looked at Manager Lin.
"who is it?"
"Liu Shuning, the daughter of Grand Tutor Liu!"
Mei Lane.
After Wu Weiwei finished her work, Ling Fu asked softly, "Miss, the auction at Jubao Tower has started. Do you want to go?"
Looking at the gold-embossed invitation on the table, Wu Weiwei suddenly hesitated.
She always felt that Ye Qingyun's behavior was somewhat strange.
If an invitation was sent, why come up with the idea of auctioning off her Jade Deer Pills?
Is she really going against me like this just because of the 800,000 taels of silver that Qingzhu gave her?
Seeing Wu Weiwei frown.
Wanqiu said, "Miss, if you really feel something is wrong, you might as well not go!"
Although Steward Qing assigned two bodyguards to the young lady before leaving, and Protector Qin will soon return to the capital, it is hard to guarantee that they will not be able to stop those with ulterior motives from harming her.
Thinking of the fate of Liu Taifu's daughter, Wanqiu still felt lingering fear.
It's just an auction; nothing is more important than the safety of our master.
Just as Wu Weiwei was hesitating, she saw Xiao Shitou rush in.
"Master, the matter you asked me to handle yesterday has been uncovered!"
