Traveling through the ancient times

Lu Mingqian blew on the tea leaves in the cup and took a sip. "Is that all you know? If there is nothing else, then I will ask your brother to come and reunite with you!"

"The third prince of Xiliang is in secret contact with King Jingyang of Dongyi Kingdom..." Yongkang immediately told the news, hoping it would bring safety to his family.

Lu Mingqian was right. Although it was Lu Mingqian who framed his father, it was also the King of Xiliang who ignored the advice and insisted on sentencing his father to death. So let them fight. It would be best if the fight ended in the destruction of the country and the ruin of the family.

This news was a big shock to Lu Mingqian. King Jingyang was the younger brother of the king, and thus Lu Mingqian's uncle.

Prince Jingyang has always had a good relationship with the king, and Lu Mingqian also respects this royal uncle very much. Over the years, Prince Jingyang has been abiding by his duties in his fiefdom and has offered tribute to the palace every year.

Didn't expect that all this was just an act? Or did Yongkang deliberately lead him to misunderstand the emperor's uncle, thus causing discord between his father and the emperor's uncle?

"Is there any evidence?"

"I just heard it from my father by chance before, there is no evidence."

"Anything else?" Lu Mingqian continued to ask calmly.

"No, that's all I know. You promised me not to touch my family."

"Don't worry, I am not interested in them!" Lu Mingqian stood up and left the dungeon. He needed to find out whether the news was true.

Lu Mingqian returned to the military camp and called Xingyi. "Send a pigeon to Xingwu and ask him to take some people to the fiefdom of King Jingyang to secretly investigate whether King Jingyang has any unusual movements, and focus on whether he has any contact with the Third Prince of Xiliang. This matter is very serious. Don't alert the enemy. Act in secret!"

"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."

Now the Third Prince of Xiliang has come to the border with the King of Xiliang. He is no longer a force to be reckoned with. Tada County has suffered a natural disaster, and the people and soldiers are starving. It will be difficult for him to seize power.

I just don't know what Prince Jingyang and the third prince of Xiliang are conspiring about?

Before things here were sorted out, bad news came from the dungeon that Yongkang had been kidnapped.

The spy sent by the King of Xiliang to look for Qi Muhe discovered the captured Yong Kang and rescued him.

The King of Xiliang is in need of manpower right now. Although Yongkang is a fugitive, if he helps the King of Xiliang to retake the imperial city, it would be considered as meritorious service.

After leaving the city, Yongkang wanted to go back to the imperial city directly, but was stopped by the secret agent. "The king is no longer in the imperial city. General Qilin led his troops to rebel. The king and the third prince are now with the great governor Xiong in Tada County."

"What?" Such a big thing happened in Xiliang during the days when he was away from Xiliang!

"So what is the king's plan now?" General Qilin is Qi Muhe's brother-in-law. If General Qilin knew that Qi Muhe was in Dongyi, he would definitely send someone to take him back. General Qilin must not be allowed to know about this.

"Everything can only be planned after the king recovers. His Royal Highness the Third Prince is now training soldiers in the barracks, intending to lead them to seize power."

Since the King of Xiliang has been chased to Tada County, if they want to start an army to seize power, they need military pay and food, so they need the treasure in Qimuhe's hands even more.

Since General Qilin has proclaimed himself emperor, why doesn't he let the King of Xiliang capture Qi Muhe? This will not only allow him to find out the whereabouts of the treasure, but also allow him to use it to threaten General Qilin.

And if Qi Muhe and Nian Chuhua are together, they can capture them both at the time. Then won't Lu Mingqian and General Qilin have to listen to them?

Hahaha…Yongkang was very excited about the good plan he came up with.

"Take me to see the king quickly!" The secret agent took Yongkang directly to Governor Xiong's mansion.

The spy knelt before the bed of the King of Xiliang, "Your Majesty, I learned in Dongyi that Yongfu's son Yongkang was imprisoned in a dungeon at the border of Dongyi, so I rescued him. Yongkang said he had important news to report to Your Majesty. Would Your Majesty like to see him?"

"Oh? Yongkang? Wasn't he exiled? How come he is in the dungeon of Dongyi Kingdom?"

"I don't know about this. Your Majesty can interrogate him personally."

"Go and call him in..."

The spy brought Yongkang to the King of Xiliang. Looking at the once burly King of Xiliang, now lying weakly on the bed, Yongkang felt a little gloating in his heart.

When he brings the soldiers of King Xiliang to kill Lu Mingqian and King Xiliang falls seriously ill and returns to the west, his father's revenge will be truly achieved.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, I, Yong Kang, your humble servant, pay my respects to His Majesty! His Royal Highness the Third Prince!" Yong Kang knelt respectfully before the King of Xiliang. The Third Prince also stood aside, wanting to hear what good news this man had brought.

"I heard that you have important news to tell this king?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Oh? Tell me what the news is. If you tell me well, I will forgive you for escaping without permission."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I have learned from Dongyi that the one who assassinated our Crown Prince was actually Dongyi's Third Prince Lu Mingqian. He sent someone to kill the Crown Prince and then framed my father for the crime."

Xiliang actually had expected that someone else had killed the prince, but he did not want to admit that he had killed General Yongfu by mistake, so he did not delve into it too much.

Now it was discovered by Yongfu's son that Yongkang's father was killed by him by mistake. The King of Xiliang suddenly became angry and ashamed.

"So, you are here to settle accounts with me? Did I wrongly accuse your father?" The King of Xiliang said this sinisterly, staring at Yongkang with unfriendly eyes.

"I dare not!" Yong Kang lowered his head even lower, "I have something else to report to the king."

"What's the matter?"

"Qi Muhe, the young master of the Qi family who had the good fortune to escape the execution of the Qi family, is in Dongyi State. According to the investigation of the guilty minister, he has colluded with Lu Mingqian, the third prince of Dongyi State."

Upon hearing the news about Qi Muhe, the eyes of King Xiliang and the Third Prince lit up at the same time. This was exactly the time when they needed Qi Muhe. They needed both his financial resources and his people.

"What? Qi Muhe... He is so brave. I was wondering why I couldn't find him anywhere. It turns out he went to Dongyi Kingdom." The King of Xiliang was dissatisfied. Qi Muhe actually took the treasure to Dongyi Kingdom. He must not let so much treasure fall into the hands of Dongyi people.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Qi Muhe has changed his appearance. I have known Qi Muhe since childhood. During a fight, I saw the moves Qi Muhe used and learned his true identity.

I have secretly investigated and learned that he is now hanging out with a merchant's daughter in Qunan City, working as her accountant. And as far as I know, the merchant's daughter is the sweetheart of Lu Mingqian, the third prince of Dongyi."

This news is great news for the current King of Xiliang and the Third Prince of Xiliang.

However, how could the King of Xiliang, who was always suspicious by nature, believe Yongkang's words so easily? "Since you already know their identities and whereabouts, why don't you capture them?"

"Your Majesty, I wanted to capture her, but the merchant's daughter was protected by experts arranged by Lu Mingqian. I was alone and could not fight against them. I was seriously injured in a fight and escaped by luck. I was caught at the border again, so I am in the dungeon of Dongyi Kingdom."

This statement made the King of Xiliang believe it to some extent. "I understand. I will take care of this matter. You can go down first!"

Yongkang knew that it was unrealistic to ask the King of Xiliang to send troops immediately. This matter must be carefully planned and a comprehensive plan must be made before action can be taken.

"Yes, I will take my leave!"

Yongkang was taken out by the guards and a room was arranged for him to stay in.

"Father, can you believe what Yongkang said?" The third prince fed the King of Xiliang some water and helped him lie down.

"It's almost like ten!"

"So what do we do now?"

"Go down and let me think about it!"
