Kick the scumbag, she brought space and married the national teacher to rebel

Chu Feiyan was also curious about this space, but it was already late, so he found a place to sit down and started practicing, and would study this space when he had time.

******

In a blink of an eye, it was the tenth day of the first lunar month.

"Princess, Ke Cheng is back!" Qiu Ling said happily as she walked into the room.

Chu Feiyan looked up and saw a tall and handsome man in black clothes and a black fox fur coat following behind her. It was the deputy leader of Yueying Pavilion, Ke Cheng.

Ke Cheng's mother was originally his mother's junior sister and one of the most trusted lieutenants. She helped his mother establish the Yueying Pavilion. Her martial arts skills were not inferior to his mother's, and she was once famous throughout the world as the deputy pavilion master.

Ke Cheng and Qiao Sheng were children who grew up together at the border and had a deep relationship with each other.

"Ke Cheng, you're finally back!"

Ke Cheng approached, knelt on one knee and saluted, "Your Highness the Princess!"

"No need to be so polite!" Chu Feiyan walked around the table and helped the man up. "You've worked hard these past few months."

Ke Cheng replied, "I did not disappoint the princess this time. I wanted to come back before the New Year, but the snowstorm this year was very serious. The heavy snow closed the mountain and delayed my return trip."

"Just come back safely." Chu Feiyan said, looking at Qiu Ling and said with a smile: "This time when I come back, I will accompany Qiu Ling well."

Upon hearing this, Ke Cheng and Qiu Ling both blushed.

"Princess, you are making fun of me again!" Qiu Ling turned away in shame.

Ke Cheng looked at her gently, then bowed to Chu Feiyan and said, "I will follow your orders."

"Haha!" Chu Feiyan laughed, "Ke Cheng, you are already 24 this year, and Qiu Ling is the same age as me. You are both not young anymore. Once we eliminate the party of King Rui, I will arrange your wedding for you."

"Princess..." Qiu Ling's face turned even redder and she lowered her head.

Ke Cheng was pleasantly surprised and bowed his hands in thanks, "Everything will be arranged by Your Highness. I am very grateful."

"I haven't agreed to marry you yet, what are you grateful for?" Qiu Ling kicked him secretly, "Silly, get down to business."

"Oh, okay!" Ke Cheng took out a few secret letters from his arms and handed them to Chu Feiyan with both hands, "Your Highness, King Rui's private soldiers number about 100,000, hiding in a valley in Enping City."

"Enping City?" Chu Feiyan took the letter, then took out a map and spread it on the table to check the location of Enping City.

They found that Enping City was not far from Jinxiu City, about 500 miles away. However, this area was mostly mountainous and bandits were rampant, disturbing the people in the surrounding dozens of miles and causing unrest. Merchant caravans did not dare to pass by here. Over time, everyone was terrified when talking about it.

In the past, the imperial court had sent troops into the mountains to suppress bandits, but the terrain in this area was too complicated, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and every time a battle was fought, the troops were lost and the soldiers returned in defeat!

The imperial court had no choice but to negotiate peace with these bandits, allowing them to exist but letting them fend for themselves in the mountains and not allowing them to come down the mountains to rob and harm the people.

These bandits actually agreed and never came down the mountain to harm the people again. However, they had become notorious and no one dared to approach the mountains. Now, it has become a good place for Prince Rui and Prime Minister Du to raise their private soldiers.

Ke Cheng said: "Your Highness, I followed the clues and went into this valley to investigate. I found that this area is full of dangerous mountains and bad waters, crisscrossing streams, wild beasts, and sparsely populated. It is indeed a good place to raise private soldiers."

"Most of these private soldiers were probably deceived or brought in by various means. Let's not touch them for now." Chu Feiyan said.

"I have sent people to guard the valley and monitor their movements. We captured a man and interrogated him. We learned that King Rui had transferred 20,000 people away before the New Year. They are probably outside the outskirts of Zangjinxiu City."

Ke Cheng's eyes moved to the location of Jinxiu City. "The Imperial Concubine was sentenced to death, Prime Minister Du was dismissed from office, and the power of Prince Rui was greatly weakened. They might be desperate and launch a palace coup ahead of schedule."

"We are waiting for them to lose their patience." Chu Feiyan sneered and put the map away. "After we deal with King Rui, we will come and settle accounts with the Duke of Zhenguo."

Speaking of the Zhenguo Mansion, Ke Cheng was a little disappointed, "It's a pity that we haven't found enough evidence to bring down the Zhenguo Mansion."

"Gu Zhan is cunning and it's not easy to find any fatal flaw in him. You have tried your best. We don't need to rush." ​​Chu Feiyan comforted him.

Ke Cheng gained a lot from this trip. In addition to the fact that Prince Rui raised private soldiers, he also found some evidence about the Zhenguo Mansion, which also implicated a bigger secret. The death of his parents hid a bigger conspiracy. But before the truth of the matter was found out, he could not take action against the Zhenguo Mansion for the time being.

"You must be tired from traveling all the way, so go down and have a good rest first!" Chu Feiyan said.

"Yes." Ke Cheng cupped his hand to her, glanced at Qiu Ling again, and walked out.

"Qiu Ling, from now on, I'll give you three days off so you two can get together." Chu Feiyan said.

Qiu Ling shook her head, "Princess, there's no need to give me a holiday. You know Ke Cheng is a man who can't sit still. No matter where my subordinates go, he will accompany me."

Chu Feiyan smiled and nodded, "That's fine. Anyway, it's just the New Year and there's nothing too busy. It's rare for you to be together, so go out for a walk when you have time."

Qiu Ling's face turned red again.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I'll take my leave now." Ke Cheng took Qiu Ling's hand and left the room.

At night, it was midnight.

Chu Feiyan changed into a nightgown, and then used her mind to stuff the crow into the space, "I want to explore the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion at night, you come with me."

She did not disturb the three maids living in the east wing and left quietly under the cover of night.

It had been several months since she was reborn, but she had not found any clues about the murderer who massacred the entire Weiguo Mansion in her previous life. In addition, with the news brought back by Ke Cheng, she felt that she could no longer wait like this, which seemed very passive.

In the court, the Weiguo Mansion and the Zhenguo Mansion are the most incompatible. Zhenguo Duke Gu Zhan was a military general when he was young and had made many military achievements, but he was a narrow-minded person who was jealous of talented people. The late emperor knew that he didn't like him very much, but he respected his grandfather very much, which made him very jealous.

In the great battle seven years ago, Gu Zhan was in charge of escorting food and fodder, but he deliberately delayed the journey for more than a month. As a result, the food and fodder were cut off, leading to Pingling Pass being trapped. Without even any food to eat, the soldiers were unable to go into battle.

Fortunately, his grandfather didn't trust him and asked the emperor for an order to bring people to follow him, but he still arrived too late.

The death of his parents in the war was closely related to Gu Zhan.

Chu Feiyan rushed into the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, found the study and climbed in through the window.

She took out a night-shining pearl and began to search on the desk.

But after searching everywhere, I didn't find anything useful, so I searched on the bookshelf again.

At this moment, she noticed the sound of someone coming to the roof. Although the sound was very slight, her hearing was excellent, so she quickly put away the night pearl.
