When the prince of Song returned to his residence, the guards in the room saw him coming back and hurriedly saluted: "Master, you are back."

"Mu Xi, starting tomorrow, monitor every move of the Third Princess's Mansion in Wei State, and find a way to get the crossbow pattern and bring it back to the Song Dynasty to make crossbows and add new weapons to the Song Dynasty army."

"She can also frame Wei Lingxue as a traitor. The Emperor of Wei will definitely not let her go. I can then help her and become her savior. This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone."

"My master is wise."

These days Xi Lingxue has been busy at the Ministry of Industry teaching people how to make bows and crossbows. On the way home, she discovered someone was following her.

"Princess, I noticed someone following you. I wonder if it's because of the crossbow pattern or for some other purpose."

"I think it's probably for the crossbows. You guys quietly check their lair. I want to know who the mastermind is."

"Yes."

A few days later, Jiuzhou came back to report: "Princess, I found out that they live in Chenliu City, a hundred miles away from Daliang. There are probably hundreds of them, all of whom are highly skilled guards."

"Where are they from?"

"It should be the State of Song, but we can also rule out the possibility that they are from the State of Qi."

"New Year's Eve is in two days. I will go to the palace to report to my father first. I will set out as soon as I return."

"Jiu Shuang, follow me into the palace."

"Yes."

It was snowing heavily outside. Snowflakes were like countless dancing butterflies, fluttering down the sky, embellishing the sky with a beautiful picture. The earth was gradually covered by thick layers of snow, as if entering a pure white world.

But Xi Lingxue was not in the mood to enjoy the snow. She quickly brought Jiushuang to the palace. When the eunuch saw Xi Lingxue, he hurriedly greeted her, "This old servant greets the Third Princess."

"Where is my father? This princess has something urgent to discuss with him."

"Reporting to the Third Princess, the Emperor is in the main hall reviewing the memorials. I will go in and report to the Emperor."

"No need, I will go in by myself."

She walked quickly into the hall and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father."

"Xue'er, what do you want to see father for?"

"Father, I was followed by someone when I went to the Ministry of Works. They found out that there are hundreds of them in Chenliu City. I suspect they are going for the crossbows."

The emperor's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he asked coldly: "Where are they from?"

"It's either Song or Qi."

"It seems that they have already taken control of our crossbows, so they are focusing on them. They really don't know how to live or die."

"Xue'er, the emperor has assigned a hundred secret guards to you. You must lead them to quickly eliminate them. If you bring them back alive, the emperor will interrogate them strictly. This time, we must know their mastermind."

"I want to see whether they are from Song or Qi and dare to covet the weapons of Wei."

"Thank you, Father."

"Jiang Hai, prepare a carriage."

"Father, I will ride over there on horseback and may be able to return in time for the New Year."

"It's too cold to ride a horse in this cold weather. Can you handle it?"

"Father, don't worry! I have been practicing on ice since I was a child and I am used to it."

"Cold and arrogant..."

"I see you, Your Majesty."

"Send a hundred secret guards to accompany the Third Princess."

"I obey your orders."

"Xue'er, there are still two days until New Year's Eve. Father is waiting for you to come back to celebrate the New Year."

"Father, don't worry! I will try my best to come back. If I can't come back in time, please tell my mother that I went to see the master, so that she won't worry."

"Okay, stay safe."

"My son, please retire."

Xi Lingxue walked to the entrance of the hall and the secret guards were already standing there. "I am Lengsha, your subordinate. I will bring a hundred secret guards to see the Third Princess."

"Set off."

"Yes."

"Jiushuang, go inform Jiuzhou and the others to wait for this princess at the west gate."

"Yes."

Xi Lingxue and the secret guards rode to the west gate of Daliang City on horseback, where Jiuzhou and the other three were already waiting.

"Your subordinate greets the Third Princess."

"Set off."

"Yes."

Xi Lingxue led everyone and galloped on horseback into the heavy snow.

The emperor knew someone was planning to use the crossbows, and he was immediately furious, "Jiang Hai..."

"The old slave is here."

"Send someone to keep a close eye on the Second Prince's Mansion and Concubine Qi. I want to see who is the traitor who dares to betray our Wei and give our bows and crossbows to other countries."

"Old slave obeys the order."

The Second Prince and the Princess were still fantasizing in the mansion that the Crown Prince had killed Xi Lingxue.
