Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

The message was passed back and forth like this, and half a month passed quickly.

Half a month later, the spies who went to the empire to gather information came back one after another.

"Neither Musi nor Cangyan have announced any recruitment, nor have they increased taxes. Everything seems to be normal. But if the enemy really wants to attack us, they will definitely recruit soldiers and store food in advance. Even if Miaojiang is their vanguard, they still have to consider how to comfort the people after the war."

Mr. Ying and Xiao Zuochen looked at the sand table together and analyzed the situation.

"If they think they have a good chance of winning because of the Miao tribe's joining, then they are underestimating the enemy. There will always be loyal ministers who will remind the superiors to take precautions, and they will still do something secretly."

"Food and money are the most important. Recruiting soldiers is too obvious, but you can send someone to check the food situation."

Mr. Ying and Xiao Zuochen thought of the same thing.

"But this time we have to do it as soon as possible. We still need to set aside some time for deployment. Tai'an City has already made arrangements. The emperor's selection of candidates has revealed several suspicious people. If they can find out some information from them, it will be beneficial for us to find out."

As he was speaking, a servant came from outside to report.

"Sir, His Royal Highness Prince Yun, there is a letter from Tai'an City."

Xiao Zuochen took the bamboo tube and opened the note, which read "Cangyan Country". Xiao Zuochen handed the note to Mr. Ying and they both knew what was going on.

Soon, the spies reported that there was indeed no suspicious situation in Cangyan this year, and the price of grain had not risen. That was because their grain prices had been raised by 10% since last year. Most of this grain was sold by the government, so the foreign profits obtained this year were enough to match the money collected from a tax.

"It turns out they had planned this long ago."

"This means that Miaojiang has already colluded with them."

"Although the emperor will send people to strengthen patrols in Tai'an, I'm afraid they will still make mistakes when encountering the Miaojiang Gu worm. How about sending an elite force to Tai'an City?"

Mr. Shadow asked.

In the past, Xiao Zuochen would definitely agree, but this time he hesitated.

"Why are you hesitating? What are you worried about?"

Xiao Zuochen was not worried about anything, he just didn't understand why he should help them so much.

Mr. Ying seemed to see the concerns in his heart and comforted him.

"I know you've suffered a lot since you were a child. You've been abandoned by your family and betrayed by your friends. These are what made you what you are today. But you're a good kid with a sense of justice. Even though you've gone through a lot of difficulties, you still can't let go of your family."

Xiao Zuochen remained silent. He admitted that what Mr. Ying said was right.

"It doesn't matter. We just need to guard the northern territory. As long as we prevent the Cangyan Nation from invading, we will have accomplished our mission."

"Ah."

It has been some time since Yun Feng and the others went to Miaojiang. Yun Qian took them through a small path to avoid the patrolling people.

"Didn't you see Yun Wei when you saved me last time?"

Yun Feng suddenly became curious. Logically speaking, they should not be far apart at that time.

"I don't know. Actually, my maid saw you. She brought you back and I treated you. Don't remember the wrong person~"

Yun Qian raised her eyebrows and said with a joking tone.

"What do you mean?"

Yun Feng heard something strange in her tone and asked back deliberately.

"I'm afraid you'll want to pledge yourself to the wrong person~"

"Oh~ Don't worry, I haven't thought about it yet."

"..."

Yun Lou, who was following behind them, was speechless.

Soon, the three of them arrived outside the Holy Maiden Palace.

"What do you mean? I'm afraid we can't go back the same way we did."

What Yun Feng was referring to was naturally the route he took to escape with Yun Qian.

Yun Qian nodded.

"Although everything in the Saint Maiden Hall is controlled by the Miao elders, for the Miao people, the Saint Maiden is the god in their hearts. I have been missing for so long, they will definitely nominate a new Saint Maiden to stabilize people's hearts. And in order to prevent the Saint Maiden from escaping again, I am afraid that the Saint Maiden Hall has been surrounded by water."

Yunlou couldn't help but frown when he heard them say this.

"It's not easy for us to get in then~ But how did you determine that Big Brother and the others were in the Saint Maiden Hall?"

Yun Lou’s words stunned Yun Feng and Yun Qian.

"But, apart from the Saint's Palace, they have nowhere else to go?"

Yun Qian said this and suddenly thought of something.

"Teng family! They should be at the Teng family!"

"...I'm afraid it's even harder to get into the Teng family..."

Yun Feng curled his lips.

"If Teng Sen were here, it might be easier to solve some of the problems..."

As Yun Feng was speaking, a faint voice came to his ears.

"are you talking about me?"

Yun Feng and the other two were startled by the sound, and when they turned around, they saw that it was really Teng Sen.

"Oh my god! Why are you here?"

Speak of the devil, and he will appear. How could it be such a coincidence!

"I've been in Miaojiang recently. I was planning to go back to Tai'an to see you these days, but the spies reported that you were coming to Miaojiang to look for Yun Wei's whereabouts, so I've been waiting for you here. But your vigilance is too poor. I've been following you for two days~"

Yun Feng and Yun Lou's faces darkened. The fact that they didn't find any trace of Teng Sen meant that Teng Sen's strength was already above theirs.

Teng Sen patted Yun Feng on the shoulder.

"Okay, think positively. I have good news for you. Yun Wei came back a few days ago, followed by two secret guards. One of them was carrying a sack on his shoulder. Judging from the shape of the sack, there must be people in it. But Yun Wei has left Miaojiang and returned to Tai'an City. The two sacks were carried into the Teng family. It is estimated that they contain Yunqiao and Yunbai."

"Estimated? Shouldn't you be sure?"

Yun Qian said unhappily.

"Then the Teng family is your home. You will know once you go in."

"Why didn't you say I should go in and take a look and then let them go?"

"Yes, you have a point!"

"That makes sense! You are the Holy Maiden of Miaojiang, why don't you just go in and take the person away!?"

"I was trying to escape. If I went in, I would have been caught!"

"So I'm not running away!?"

The two of them were arguing until their faces turned red and their necks became thick. Yun Lou covered his face on the side. None of these people could be trusted. Thinking of this, he reached out to them to "separate them".

"Alright, now that we know the person is inside, let's make a plan to rescue him!"

"But we don't know the current security situation of the Teng family. It took me several years to figure out the escape route."

Yun Qian said helplessly, then looked at Teng Sen.

"Eh? Don't look at me. I haven't been back to the Teng family for many years. I don't know what it's like inside~"

"But we don't have time to observe slowly. We'd better think of a quick solution, otherwise they will be in danger too."

"I do have a quick solution, but it's a bit... mean."

"what?"

Teng Sen had a bad feeling when he saw Yun Qian staring at him.

"You haven't been home for many years. If you go back to the Teng family now, it will definitely cause chaos in the Teng family! Then we will take advantage of the opportunity..."

Yun Qian raised her eyebrows, looking determined to win.

Teng Sen's mouth twitched.

"That's a bad idea."

But apart from him, Yun Feng and Yun Lou also agreed.

"Anyway, the Teng family won't take your life, so it's settled!"

"Eh? But..."

"Come on, let's study what equipment we need to prepare."

"you..."

"Do you want to buy some more of this?"

"..."
