Zhan Wuhui was afraid that King Zhenbei had really misunderstood something, so he had to speak honestly.

"She asked me to find someone."

If it's just looking for someone, it's not a big deal.

What's more, he already knew about Mu Yunyao's trip to the north and had some guesses in his mind.

And the emperor did not hide it from him, otherwise, he would not have given her the token so that she could contact Zhan Wuhui to mobilize troops.

But now Chu Yi still feels that there is something wrong with this.

"Who are you looking for? Who can make things so difficult for you?"

Zhan Wuhui saw that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he could only pull out a small portrait given to him by Mu Yunyao from his sleeve and handed it over resignedly.

The story began with the day he went to see Mu Yunyao and then returned.

After he returned that day, he heard some things he shouldn't have heard and left in a hurry.

But later, after receiving reports from spies that the Chu family had set their sights on her and sent her the invitation with ulterior motives, she went to see Mu Yunyao again.

Zhan Wuhui told her about the dispute between the Chu family and the palace and some things that could be said.

It also shows that what the Chu family did was their business, and had little to do with King Zhenbei, and it was not instructed by the prince.

Then, Mu Yunyao asked him to check someone.

The girl named Chu Li'er was once sold to the Jiaofang Bureau, and was later redeemed by Mu Junsheng and brought back to the mansion.

Later, she sold herself to the prime minister's mansion, but was sold out because she destroyed the marriage between the Mu and Li families.

Mu Yunyao told him directly that this person was in her hands now.

And she suspected that this person might be related to the Chu family.

Zhan Wuhui asked her if she had any evidence, but Mu Yunyao said it was all intuition, which made him feel helpless and amused.

But the result of the investigation made him unable to laugh.

This Chu Li'er is indeed a member of the Chu family. Not only that, he and Chu Ling'er are brothers from the same mother.

However, unlike Chu Li'er who was lucky enough to be adopted by the royal palace, Chu Li'er was kidnapped when she was very young.

Then, as the investigation deepened, he realized that her so-called abduction was actually deliberate, and the Chu family did it in order to achieve some unspeakable goals.

Therefore, they also found out many people lurking in Beiyun City.

These people have close secret contacts with the Chu family.

However, they have not been able to find out the leader, so they thought of using a trick to lure him out.

Mu Yunyao agreed to use herself as bait to help him lure out the person behind the scenes, and her only request was that Zhan Wuhui help her find someone.

After listening to Zhan Wuhui's explanation of the cause and effect, King Zhenbei said nothing.

But he was shocked by the scroll in his hand.

He looked at the person in the painting, and then looked at Zhan Wuhui.

It took her a while to react and she slapped him hard on the shoulder.

"I was wondering why you were so strange, bringing this with you in the barracks."

After saying that, he looked at Zhan Wuhui again, as if he thought of something and asked.

"This girl came to see you, but you used her to do so many things. Have you ever thought about what you would do if she knew?"

Mu Yunyao is not a person who repays evil with kindness. If she knew that she was being fooled, she would definitely not let this person have an easy time.

Zhan Wuhui rubbed his brow and expressed his guess.

"Godfather, I think she must have guessed something."

She asked me to find someone just to test him.

Chu Yi was not too surprised to hear this. After all, with Mu Yunyao's intelligence, it was not surprising that she could guess it.

"Bless yourself."

Chu Yi patted his adopted son's shoulder with a look of gloating.

Zhan Wuhui also looked helpless. His adoptive father really just wanted to watch the fun and didn't mind making any trouble.

Mu Yunyao rested in the military tent for two hours, and then sent someone to ask Zhan Wuhui to fight.

Zhan Wuhui knew he couldn't escape, so under Chu Yi's teasing gaze, he put on his mask again and left the tent.

Mu Yunyao had just drunk a cup of tea when someone came to report.

"Princess, General Zhan is here."

"Please come in."

Mu Yunyao put down her teacup, straightened her clothes and said to the person who reported it.

"Yes."

Zhan Wuhui had heard the conversation inside clearly from outside the tent, but he still waited until the person inside came out to invite him in before following them in.

Just before entering the door, he subconsciously touched the mask on his face, and felt more and more nervous.

Seeing Zhan Wuhui coming in, still wearing his iconic mask on his face, Mu Yunyao's eyes were filled with disappointment.

But it only took a moment for everything to return to normal.

"General Zhan, please take a seat."

Zhan Wuhui bowed and just as he sat down on a chair next to her, Mu Yunyao spoke.

"When will General Zhan fulfill his promise to me?"

Zhan Wuhui was also silent. To be honest, he was not afraid of going to war, but in this scene, his heart was beating wildly.

He clenched his fists tightly and took a deep breath.

Seeing him like this, Mu Yunyao sighed secretly in her heart.

I guess I pushed him too hard.

She had actually just asked someone to secretly inquire about it, and now knew everything she wanted to know.

But it was obvious that Zhan Wuhui was not ready to recognize each other.

"I was too anxious. It will take more than one or two days to find someone. General, just do your best.

If my brother doesn't come back to the city, he will be worried sick. Please, General Zhan, arrange for someone to send me back."

Zhan Wuhui felt relieved when he heard her words, but at the same time, he felt a little jealous.

Shen Yu is just a cousin. He is not a serious brother.

It's better for him because he is a son from the same mother. We don't have to worry about it not being his turn.

However, he had no right to say these things now, so he lowered his eyes slightly before speaking.

"I have learned about this and will make arrangements right away."

After leaving Mu Yunyao's tent, Zhan Wuhui felt relieved but also a little disappointed.

Zhan Wuhui used the excuse that he had something to do in the camp and assigned the task of sending Mu Yunyao back to Wei Qing, and also selected two hundred people to accompany him.

King Zhenbei looked at the man hiding in the tent in a daze and shook his head.

"Do you really have the heart to disappoint her?"

As a woman, she put aside her marriage and came here from thousands of miles away, which shows how much she cares about her brother.

Zhan Wuhui rubbed his forehead and said, "It's not that I don't recognize you as my foster father, but now is not the best time.

We all know why His Majesty asked me to go to the southwest. It would not be a good thing if she was involved."

Chu Yi sat opposite him and looked at Zhan Wuhui with a rare serious expression.

“No regrets, the fate with some people is very shallow. If you keep rejecting fate when it approaches you, it will only make the fate thinner and thinner.

Originally, we had no blood relationship with you, but now reality has proved that at least your mother and sister still care about you.

You keep pushing people away, and that’s very hurtful.”

Chu Yi paused and sighed.

"Besides, this Miss Mu is not an ordinary person. In my opinion, if she were born a man, she would definitely be no worse than you and me. She is different from ordinary women in the harem. You think you are doing good for her, but is it what she really wants?"
