"What news?" Yuan Buwei asked as she sat down.

"The main forces of the Xirong army are in the west of the border, which is where the Canglang King disappeared. This is the east, and only a small part of the Xirong army is stationed here. Their purpose is to monitor every move of Cangxin Town. They probably don't believe that the Canglang King is missing."

"You mean, they think the Wolf King is setting this up?"

"Yes." Song Rui nodded. "As the saying goes, if they are alive, we must see the person; if they are dead, we must see the body. King Canglang led tens of thousands of people out at that time, so why did he disappear? So the Western Rong people are still suspicious, but with so many people stationed together, there must be someone to make fire and cook, and handle daily affairs, so they went to find bandits and vagrants and let them enter the city to cause chaos."

"Those women had to work during the day and were abused and beaten by the Xirong army at night. Many died from their injuries. What's even worse is that the Xirong beasts, thinking of food shortages, threw the dead women into the pot and cooked them..." Qin Si thought he had seen the sufferings of the world, but after hearing these things, he still couldn't show his anger. "They are really too hateful."

Yuan Buwei fell silent after hearing this.

She had originally planned that if she could get those women out, she would also think about how to encourage them to cheer up again.

I don't know...

They are all gone, and even if they are still here, they are being tortured by the Xirong army.

"I have reported this to Deputy General Xu. Deputy General Xu just said that he dare not lead the troops out before the Wolf King returns."

"He is a coward. In such a huge Canglang Palace, can't we find another person who can fight?" Qin Si was so angry that he jumped up, his chest heaving up and down. "It's just killing people. I can do it. At worst, I can take people with me."

"Young Master, you can't do anything reckless. Going into battle to kill the enemy requires the deployment of troops, and the soldiers of the Wolf King only listen to his orders."

"Then...are we just going to sit there and wait for death?" Qin Si scratched his hair in anger and paced back and forth in the room, "We can just split up into several groups, or are you afraid of death?"

"Master, how could I be afraid of death?" Song Rui jumped up, his eyes sharp, "As a death warrior, we have already put life and death aside, but we can't be reckless, otherwise we won't be able to solve the problem, and let Madam and everyone else fall into danger."

"That……"

Qin Si didn't know how to refute, so he looked at Yuan Buwei: "Third sister, what do you say we should do?"

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. Why don't we move to Canglang Mansion and then arrange for Deputy General Xu to take care of the remaining soldiers." Yuan Buwei looked at Song Rui. "You and your brothers are good at collecting intelligence, so let's get the news first. It just so happens that it takes time to sort out the information. At this stage, it is enough for the Canglang soldiers to deploy their troops. Since they are unkind, don't blame us for being unjust. Anyone who invades Dazhao's territory must be annihilated in one fell swoop, and Dazhao will be at peace, and the people will be at peace!"

"Okay." Qin Si clapped his hands excitedly. "Third sister still has more ideas. Let's listen to her. What do you think, Song Rui?"

"It's not my idea. I've been with Lu Sui for a long time, and I've been influenced by him. If you really want me to go to the battlefield, I can't do it." Yuan Buwei looked at Qin Si, "Second brother, I know you empathize with the people, but fighting is not as simple as eating and drinking. We can't rush it, and life is the most important thing."

"Okay, I'll listen to my third sister."

"In that case, I'll arrange it now." After Song Rui said this, he turned and went out.

"Then I'll tell everyone to clean up the inn and move into the Canglang Palace together."

"I'll help." Qin Si volunteered.

There is strength in numbers. By the time everyone had finished packing, Song Rui had also returned.

But he didn't come back alone, he brought someone back with him.

"Who are you?" Yuan Buwei looked at the person in front of her with confusion.

"My name is Ah Cheng, nice to meet you, Madam." Ah Cheng placed one hand on his chest and bowed his head. "I am one of the adopted sons of my adoptive parents, the second one. Ah Shi is the eldest brother, Ah Ru is the second sister, and I am the third one. I have three younger brothers and three younger sisters. They adopted eight of us in total."

"So he's the adopted son of the Canglang King and his wife, so he's one of us." The doubts in Yuan Buwei's eyes were swept away, "Why didn't we see you when we went to the Canglang King's Mansion last time?"

Hearing this, Ah Cheng's eyes showed sadness. "That day, my foster father brought my younger brother and sister to testify together. I was unable to go because I had a cold. Unexpectedly, none of them came back. After I recovered from my illness, I kept asking for their news in secret. I returned to the Canglang Palace only after the supplies I brought with me ran out. As a result, I happened to meet Song Rui."

"I see."

Yuan Buwei nodded, but she always felt that there was something different in the way Ah Cheng looked at her. However, since there were other people around, she didn't ask any more questions.

With A'chen's arrangement, everyone moved into the Canglang Palace smoothly.

"Young lady."

Yuan Buwei knew that Ah Cheng would come to see her, but she didn't expect it to be so soon: "Let's talk inside."

"Before he set out, my foster father seemed to have a premonition of something, so he told me everything that happened in the capital in advance." After Ah Cheng finished speaking, he bowed to Yuan Buwei, "I didn't expect that you would come to the border in person..."

"In that case, I won't keep you in suspense. I don't want anyone to know about Lu Sui's relationship with the Wolf King for now. As for what's coming next, with you here, things will go more smoothly. As for me, I will do my part. You must find the Wolf King as soon as possible to stabilize the morale of the army."

"Yes."

Ah Cheng nodded: "I also believe that my godfather will be able to turn danger into safety."

The drizzling spring rain takes away the cold and brings gusts of fresh breeze.

In the blink of an eye, Yuan Buwei had been in the Canglang Palace for more than half a year.

The whereabouts of the Wolf King is still unknown.

The leaderless Canglang Palace began to become unstable due to the shortage of food and fodder, and the soldiers under it also became restless.

"Young Madam, this is not good, this is not good."

Yun Ling rushed in: "The soldiers had a conflict and wanted an explanation."

"I want an explanation. What explanation?"

Yuan Buwei frowned: "In the past six months, the Canglang Palace has not lacked food for them, and the monthly salary is also paid as usual."

"That's why everyone feels even more uncertain."

"what?"

Yuan Buwei frowned: "Pack up, I'll go with you to take a look."

When the two men arrived, no matter how A'chen and others tried to comfort them, they could not calm the emotional soldiers down.

"Why are you letting us sit and wait for death? We are all soldiers of the Wolf King. If he has been missing for more than half a year, why don't you let us go find him?"

Yuan Buwei heard these words as soon as she walked into the crowd.
