After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

That night, Yu He was just about to go to bed when the window opened with a bang, and it seemed that someone had sneaked in.

Yuhe picked up the candlestick on the table and walked over slowly, looking around vigilantly.

"Who?"

No one responded.

Yuhe went over to close the window. The moment she turned around, she felt a cool touch on her neck.

"Who are you?" Yu He pretended to be calm.

"Hmph," a cold snort came from behind, and it sounded like a man.

Yu He's heart was pounding and she silently tightened the candlestick in her hand.

"I haven't seen you for three years. You have made some progress."

Yu He felt that the voice sounded familiar. She turned around and saw a familiar face.

"Lord Ye." The person who came was Ye Qi.

Ye Qi put away the sword and said, "I gave you Zhihuanlou so that you could open a brothel, but you turned it into an asylum."

Yu He didn't care about the sarcasm in Ye Qi's words. She was more concerned about why Ye Qi, who should be in Kyoto, appeared in Wuzhou.

Yuhe opened the window and saw that there was no one in the yard, so she quickly closed the window again.

"Master Ye, why are you here?"

Ye Qi put the sword on the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and then handed the letter in his arms to Yu He.

"Kyoto intercepted a secret report that countless refugees from Liuzhou were killed or injured on their way south."

After saying that, he looked at Yu He's face and said, "The people in Wuzhou now are the survivors of the entire Liuzhou."

Yu He looked into Ye Qi's eyes and said in disbelief, "Are they all dead?"

Ye Qi nodded, "The horse bandits robbed and killed."

"But they have no money or food, they are just a group of refugees, why would the bandits rob them?"

"Yeah, what are you doing?"

A word popped up in Yuhe's mind, "Murder to silence the witness?"

No wonder!

Yu He felt strange from the very beginning. There were obviously tens of thousands of refugees from Liuzhou, but Gu Yuan only brought a hundred people.

At first she thought that Gu Yuan's team had gotten separated and the large group of refugees had taken a detour through Wuzhou.

Who would have thought that they were all killed.

Ye Qi sighed, "It's not safe outside Wuzhou City now."

"It's not easy for me to show up in Wuzhou. You are in charge of the network in Wuzhou. Please go around for me these days."

"The most important thing," Ye Qi looked into Yu He's eyes, "is to hold back those refugees."

Yu He nodded, "I understand."

"There is one more thing," Ye Qi said, "Qian Li is trustworthy."

Early the next morning, Yuhe went to the government office and said that she had something to say to Qian Li alone.

Qian Li didn't understand what was going on, but he still did as Qian Li said and asked everyone to leave.

The two of them sat aside. Yuhe took out a piece of paper from her sleeve pocket, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Qian Li.

"Master Qian is very quick-witted. He must have guessed our identities."

Upon hearing this, Qian Li paused as he was about to look at the letter, thought for a moment, and then retracted his hand.

"I only wish to stay in Wuzhou for the rest of my life, with my wife and children. I'm sorry that I can't obey your order."

Yuhe smiled and said, "It's not what you think now, sir, this is the reality."

"My Lord, please read what is written inside before making any plans."

Qian Li's eyes fell on the paper on the table. After a long silence, he took the paper and looked at it carefully.

As he saw the contents on the paper clearly, Qian Li’s face turned paler and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

He looked at Yu He in disbelief, as if questioning the authenticity of what was written in the letter.

Yuhe smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, I also hope that is false."

"Then how did they die?"

Yu He responded to the answer Ye Qi gave her, "The local official was robbed and killed by horse bandits."

"Horse bandits?" Qian Li completely collapsed. "I think it was a deliberate murder."

Yu He said seriously, "Master Qian, please be careful with your words."

"Don't talk nonsense about things without evidence, or you might get yourself killed."

Qian Li shut up as he was told. Although there were only two of them at the moment, walls have ears and they had to be on guard.

The words on the letter, "Several suspected killers were found outside Wuzhou City" deeply hurt Qian Li's eyes.

He took a deep breath and said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Since there are killers outside the city, it means they already know that there are refugees hiding in the city.

Although their target is refugees, as long as they stay outside the city for one day, the people in the city will be in danger.

"Who gave you this news?" Qian Li asked.

Yuhe thought for a moment, "He said that you met him the night before you left Kyoto."

In an instant, Qian Li thought of the man with great martial arts skills.

If it's that person, the news is most likely true.

But if he is so powerful, why not just protect the refugees heading south? Why bother him?

Qian Li now understood that this was not a promotion to Enrong, but a promotion to exploit his value.

Qing'er's identity is his handle!

Qian Li stamped his feet anxiously, and after a long while he said, "Tell me, what are you going to do? I will do my best to cooperate."

Yuhe nodded, "The order I received was to wait."

"Wait?" Qian Li's face went blank for a moment, "Wait for what?"

Yu He explained, "In three days, a caravan from Xuan State will pass through Wuzhou."

Qian Li was even more confused, "So what?"

Yu He put down the teacup, glanced at Qian Li, and explained, "The difficulty now is not to deal with the assassins outside Wuzhou, but how to get these refugees to Kyoto."

"When they get to Kyoto, someone will help them."

Qian Li sat on the chair next to Yu He, thinking, "There are too many people, and the target is too big."

"You mean, let them separate? A small group of them go to Kyoto?"

Yu He nodded, "Yes, a caravan is more than enough to cover up a few people."

"Now there is the most important point," Yu He and Qian Li looked at each other.

Qian Li understood, "Why did they suffer the disaster of murder?"

"Right now, this matter can only be handed over to you."

When Qian Li heard this, his face was unnatural for a moment, and he muttered softly, "I think it would be better if you go."

Yuhe didn't hear clearly and frowned, "What did you say?"

Qian Li looked at Yu He's delicate features, pursed his lips, and decided to confess to her, "That boy seems to have taken a fancy to you."

Yu He immediately thought of Gu Yuan.

She frowned, looking disdainful, "Maybe you don't know which peach blossom of hers I look like."

"Ah," Qianli was stunned when he heard this, "You know?"

Yu He frowned and glared at him, "Otherwise, I also run a brothel. I can tell at a glance what you men are thinking."

Qian Li touched his nose guiltily and changed the subject, "Okay, then I'll hold them back and get some information out of them."

Yu He rolled her eyes at Qian Li and said, "Okay, I'll go back first."

As soon as Yuhe left, Mrs. Qian came out of the compartment.

Qian Li smiled bitterly and said, "Qing'er, it seems that we have been classified as part of his camp."

Mrs. Qian stepped forward and held Qian Li's hand. "It's okay. It's much better than before. Our family is still together now."
