Traveling through the ancient times

Now it has been confirmed that it was Yongkang who did all this, and the top priority now is to catch Yongkang.

Judging from Qi Muhe's letter, Yong Kang is a martial arts master who is no match for ordinary guards, so Lu Mingqian plans to go to the border in person.

Seeing Butler Lu Mingqian leaving again made me feel helpless and sad!

"Your Highness, are you leaving again?" Seeing Lu Mingqian walking out with his bag, the butler hurriedly followed him.

"Ok!"

"When will you be back?"

“It is still unknown…”

"Oh, you said you just came back and you're leaving again. What if Miss Nian comes back as soon as you leave? Wouldn't you miss her again?"

"No problem. I will write to her and ask her not to go out for the time being after she comes back this time and to stay in the city and wait for me to come back."

"Really? That's great. Please be careful when you go out." The butler followed Lu Mingqian and gave him careful instructions all the way to the gate of the prince's mansion.

"Well! Don't worry!" Lu Mingqian jumped on his horse, nodded to the housekeeper, and rode away with Xingyi.

"Come back soon, Your Highness!" The butler looked at the Third Prince who was getting farther and farther away, sighed, and turned back to the mansion.

Yongkang came all the way to the border. He took out the token he had obtained earlier and thought he could leave the city directly. However, he did not expect that his portrait was already known to the soldiers guarding the border.

As soon as Yongkang appeared at the city gate, he immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers. They did not say anything. When Yongkang thought it was just a routine inspection and walked over to let the soldiers search him, the surrounding soldiers rushed up and pressed him to the ground.

This sudden change caught Yongkang off guard. Before he could react, he was caught and tied up by the soldiers.

"Let me go, why are you arresting me? I have a military rank." Yongkang still wanted to struggle.

When the soldiers heard Yongkang say that he had a military rank, they did not dare to be careless, fearing that they had arrested the wrong person and would be in trouble.

The soldier took out the portrait and brought it to Yongkang for comparison. As the saying goes, people are similar.

The soldier compared carefully and found that Yongkang was exactly the same as the one in the portrait, especially the mole on the right corner of his eye. It was very obvious. It was impossible that the mole would grow in the same place. It seemed that he was right. "Aren't you the one they arrested? Take him away!"

The people above said that this man was very skilled in martial arts, so the soldiers did not dare to be careless and tied Yongkang up tightly.

He was thrown directly into the prison at the border where spies were detained!

Lu Mingqian was still searching for Yongkang along the way when he received a letter from soldiers at the border saying that Yongkang had been captured. He immediately rushed to the border without stopping.

Yongkang was locked up alone in the innermost cell, and his hands and feet were chained to prevent him from escaping.

Lu Mingqian went directly to the prison and stood outside the cell looking at Yongkang who was sitting cross-legged inside. Yongkang was also looking at this man, and neither of them spoke.

Lu Mingqian looked at him quietly for a while, and was the first to speak to break the silence, "You are really patient!"

"What's the use of keeping calm? You guys still caught me!"

"What is your purpose in coming to Dongyi?"

When Yong Kang heard Lu Mingqian's question, he suddenly laughed as if he had heard a huge joke. "Hahaha... your question is quite interesting. Don't you know why I'm here, Your Highness the Third Prince?"

"Revenge for your father?"

Yongkang didn't respond and glared at Lu Mingqian.

"Have you come to the wrong person? It was the King of Xiliang who sentenced your father to death and exiled your entire family. Why are you looking for me?"

Yongkang suddenly exploded and rushed over to grab Lu Mingqian, but was tripped by the iron chain on his feet and fell to the ground. He stared at Lu Mingqian with bloodshot eyes, "You despicable villain, if it wasn't for framing me, how could my father be sentenced to death? My family is so innocent, how could they be exiled? It's all because of you. If I don't look for you, who should I look for?"

"In the final analysis, it's because the King of Xiliang doesn't trust your father. Otherwise, why would he sentence your father to death based on just that little evidence?"

"Even if the King of Xiliang is wrong, you are the culprit. I will kill you to clear my father's name."

"So, you sneaked into Dongyi to look for my whereabouts? Since I was your target, why did you touch Nian Chuhua?"

"It's because you have so many people around you that I can't get close to you. The only choice I have to take is her. She must be your sweetheart!" Yongkang said it indifferently, but Lu Mingqian was so angry that his teeth were itching.

"You can spy on me, and you can seek revenge on me. She has nothing to do with this matter. You should never, ever think of targeting her."

"She has nothing to do with this matter. Then what does my family and my father have to do with the royal family? Why are you blaming my father?"

"Because he is the Xiliang King's man, what relationship does he have with the royal family? You could have lived in the world, but if you touch her, you will die."

"Heh... why should I fear death?" Since Yongkang chose to come to Dongyi, he came with the determination to die once he was exposed.

"What is your purpose in lurking in Dongyi?"

Yongkang calmed down and thought about the purpose of Lu Mingqian's question. He propped himself up and sat up, looking at Lu Mingqian, "Your Highness the Third Prince, what do you think my purpose is?"

Lu Mingqian didn't say anything, just stared at him quietly.

Yongkang was the first to lose his temper, "Your Dongyi country is hiding other spies, do you want to know?"

"Tell me about it." Lu Mingqian crossed his arms and looked down at Yongkang.

"Let me go and I'll tell you."

Lu Mingqian sneered, "Don't let your imagination run wild. If you can tell me something useful, I can make your death more painful."

"You..." Yongkang stared at Lu Mingqian with hatred, and then pretended to be indifferent. "Well, now I am the fish on the chopping board, so if that's the case, then you should give me a quick death!"

"Do you want to know how your family is doing?"

"Despicable, what did you do to them?" Yongkang couldn't pretend anymore when he heard his family members.

"What I did to them depends on what you said to me? Think carefully about what to say."

Yongkang lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. Lu Mingqian asked without disturbing him. He had someone bring a chair, poured a cup of tea and sat there, waiting quietly to see what Yongkang would say.

About a quarter of an hour later, Yongkang looked up at Lu Mingqian and said, "I can tell you, but you have to promise me not to touch my family."

Lu Mingqian nodded. "As long as you satisfy me, I will naturally not touch them."

"The accountant next to your woman is from Xiliang!"

Yongkang thought that if he told the news, Lu Mingqian would nervously ask people to investigate, but Lu Mingqian just said casually, "I know!" This shocked Yongkang.

"Do you know who he is?"

"I know it too!"

"So Qi Muhe has surrendered to you? You arranged him to be with that woman?" If Qi Muhe surrendered to the Dongyi people, then it would explain why Lu Mingqian knew his identity so well. It must have been Qi Muhe who informed him, this traitor.

"You can say that!" Lu Mingqian's answer made Yongkang hate Qi Muhe even more. He thought he still regarded Qi Muhe as a good friend, but he actually turned to the enemy who killed his father. It was unforgivable.

Yongkang never thought about why Qi Muhe was in Dongyi Kingdom. It was because the King of Xiliang coveted the property of the Qi family, so he executed hundreds of people in the Qi Mu family on false charges.

Yongkang’s enemy is Lu Mingqian, and the King of Xiliang is Qi Muhe’s biggest enemy.
