The princess traveled through time for a year to help the prince build his kingdom and then left

At noon, Qi Mansion in Yuncheng.

After Li Yong settled the few subordinates he brought with him, he returned to Qi Mansion.

He came to the main courtyard and discussed the next plan with Qi Zhendong.

Qi Zhendong knows the Southern Country very well, which is a great help to him.

Although he brought some people with him, they could not be used unless it was a critical moment.

All of his men had followed him for many years, and he didn't want to be exposed for the time being. So he came to Qi's house alone.

This time when he came to Yuncheng, Li Yong actually shouldered two important tasks.

One is to find out the true condition of the Southern Emperor's illness, and the other is to kill Gu Yidao.

Before leaving, Chu Tianxing had told him:

“Although Gu Yidao is a highly skilled martial artist, as long as you find his woman and child as hostages, you won’t have any problem in arresting him. If you have any problems with manpower, you can look for Qi Zhendong.”

Qi Zhendong also received instructions from Chu Tianxing sent by carrier pigeon that morning.

When he saw Li Yong, he quickly expressed his attitude:

"Regarding the matter of finding Gu Yidao, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also given instructions, asking me to fully cooperate with you and provide you with enough manpower.

Just tell me how many people you need."

After hearing this, Li Yong's expression became serious, but he still responded respectfully:

"Thank you, Master Qi. I will be more than welcome. I need about 30 people."

"Okay!" Qi Zhendong immediately sent someone to make arrangements.

Three quarters past noon, at the Prince's Palace of the Southern Kingdom.

"Still no news about Gu Yidao?"

Xiao Yifei has sent many people to look for Gu Yidao in recent days, hoping to recruit him for his own use, but to no avail.

Xiao Yifei looked at the secret guard who reported the news with displeasure.

At this time, a counselor offered a suggestion:

"Your Highness, please calm down. I do have an idea.

Why not send someone to spread the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is eager to recruit talented people and has issued a reward of 100 gold coins just to see Gu Yidao."

"Is Gu Yidao short of money?" Xiao Yifei asked suspiciously.

"Gu Yidao fled all the way to Yuncheng, so I guess he must be very short of money."

"Well, that makes sense."

Xiao Yifei immediately sent people to spread the news in the city.

Half an hour later.

Restaurants, teahouses, inns, markets... people in Yuncheng are talking about the story of "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spending a hundred gold coins to recruit talented people" everywhere.

At noon, at the He family mansion.

Qin Rubing's people naturally also got the news of "a hundred golds to recruit talents".

Everyone started discussing this immediately.

He Fugui directly asked Gu Yidao, "Master Gu, do you want one hundred taels of gold?"

Gu Yidao sneered.

"Why not? It would be a waste if you don't want it!"

He Fugui rolled his eyes and said, "How about I disguise myself as you and go meet Xiao Yifei?"

Everyone laughed.

Qin Rubing also smiled, "Yes, of course!"

Everyone looked at Qin Rubing in surprise.

"Just rob the money?"

"No, Princess, are you trying to take advantage of my trick?"

"Are you going to let Mr. Gu be an undercover agent?"

Everyone was talking and guessing.

Yanhong sat next to Gu Yidao holding the child. She looked at Qin Rubing and whispered to Gu Yidao, "Do whatever the princess asks you to do."

Gu Yidao bowed to Qin Rubing and said, "The lives of my family of three were given by the princess. I am willing to obey your orders."

Qin Rubing said: "What I mean is that you can go there and do nothing else but get the money back."

Gu Yidao bowed again and said, "I can go by myself."

Qin Rubing smiled and said, "I will dress up as Yanhong and accompany you."

What? Everyone was shocked.

Zuo Qingyun was the first to say, "No, it's too dangerous."

Han Yijian also spoke up to stop her, "Princess, you must not put yourself in danger."

He Fugui also shouted, "I can play the role of Yanhong. Don't worry, Princess. I can play any role well."

Qin Rubing said to Ye Yi at the door:

"Go to the gate of the prince's mansion and deliver a letter saying that Gu Yidao agreed to bring his woman to meet the prince.

The gift for meeting is doubled to two hundred gold.

Ask him to book the best private room in Yuncheng's largest restaurant, Yunyi Restaurant.

The time is tomorrow at noon."

"Yes." Ye Yi obeyed the order.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Are you really going? Is the princess short of money?

Qin Rubing then made some careful arrangements.

At the time of Shen, at the Prince's Palace of the Southern Kingdom.

Xiao Yifei received a report from the guards, "Just now a man came to the door and said he was here to pass on a message for Gu Yidao."

After hearing the message, Xiao Yifei immediately ordered his men:

"Hurry up and go to Yunyi Restaurant and book the largest and most luxurious private room on the third floor. This prince will use it for lunch tomorrow."

Afterwards, he arranged for his personal secret guard to mobilize the Imperial Guards.

At three quarters past three in the afternoon, at Qi Mansion in Yuncheng.

There was such a big commotion in the city that Qi Zhendong also got the news.

He discussed with Li Yong and decided to go to Yunyichu tomorrow.

They mobilized about thirty people.

What if the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?

At noon the next day, in a restaurant in Yuncheng.

The entire restaurant was surrounded by three layers of walls inside and outside.

The first and second floors of the restaurant were open for business as usual, but the third floor was tightly surrounded and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

The first and second floors were packed with people coming to watch the fun.

"What do you think Gu Yidao looks like?"

"I've never seen it before. Does it look scary?"

"I'm here to see Gu Yidao's woman. I heard she's very beautiful."

Everyone was chatting at once, their eyes looking towards the restaurant entrance.

The three-story corridor was full of guards. At the end was a large private room, which contained only Xiao Yifei and a bodyguard with high martial arts skills.

The two of them were craning their necks, staring intently at the long corridor, looking towards the stairs at the end.

Suddenly, there was a strange noise on the roof.

Qin Rubing and Gu Yidao climbed down from the roof and entered the private room through the window.

The sudden appearance of the two people scared Xiao Yifei.

His bodyguards rushed forward and protected him with their bodies.

The guards at the door rushed forward and were about to rush in, but were stopped by Xiao Yifei.

Xiao Yifei said to the two politely:

"Would you allow me to send someone to conduct a routine check on the two of you?

For example, weapons and poisons must be kept by my people for the time being."

Gu Yidao glanced at Xiao Yifei with disdain and said nothing.

Qin Rubing, who was dressed as Yanhong, said calmly, "Okay."

Xiao Yifei winked and a guard and a maid came forward.

The two men carefully searched Gu Yidao and Qin Rubing.

Apart from Gu Yida's big sword, nothing else was found.

Xiao Yifei asked someone to take the sword away, and then he relaxed a little. He held out his hand and said, "Please take a seat, both of you."

Gu Yidao looked at the door of the private room and said only two words: "Close the door."

Xiao Yifei took a deep breath and nodded to his men at the door, who closed the door from the outside.

Gu Yidao didn't sit down, but asked directly: "Where's the money?"

The corners of Xiao Yifei's mouth twitched. It seemed that he really came here for the money.

He slowly raised his hand and waved to the bodyguard behind him.

The bodyguard carried a box in one hand, put it on the table, and opened it, revealing two boxes full of gold bars.

Qin Rubing looked at the box, the bright yellow color was dazzling, and she smiled with satisfaction.

This scene happened to be seen by Xiao Yifei, who smiled with disdain.
