Chapter 225 Departure for Yunzhou

Yunzhou, located to the west of the capital, has picturesque mountains and clear waters and pleasant scenery.

The city is bustling with merchants and is a must-go place for businessmen from all over the world.

Three days later, Jiang Chen and his party finally arrived in Yunzhou.

Along the way, they traveled non-stop, day and night, just to meet up with He Xiaowei as soon as possible.

Entering the city, there were bustling crowds, a dazzling array of shops on both sides of the street, and the air was filled with the aroma of various snacks. Jiang Chen took a deep breath and felt a long-lost sense of relaxation.

"Sixteenth brother, what should we do next?" Jiang Sirou asked.

Jiang Chen looked around, a hint of caution in his eyes: "Let's find the Yuelai Inn first, and then wait for Dianzhang and Miss He to arrive."

Zuo Yongyu nodded: "Your Highness, I will go and check the surrounding situation first to ensure it is safe."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

The three of them found the Yuelai Inn, which had a quiet environment and a secluded location.

"Waiter!" Jiang Chen shouted to the waiter after entering the inn.

"My two guests, are you here for a meal or to stay overnight?" The waiter came over with a smile on his face.

"Three top-notch rooms!" Jiang Chen threw the silver in his hand to the waiter.

"Come on! Dear guests, please come in!" The waiter nodded and bowed as he invited Jiang Chen and others to go upstairs.

Jiang Chen looked around. The room was spacious and bright. From the window, he could see the green mountains in the distance. A breeze blew, carrying the fragrance of flowers and plants. He nodded with satisfaction. "Very good, let's go here."

After settling in, Jiang Chen and Jiang Sirou sat in the room to discuss the next plan.

"Sixteenth brother, when do you think Dianzhang and the others will arrive?" Jiang Sirou asked with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment: "According to the itinerary, Dianzhang should have arrived in Beijing yesterday. However, to be on the safe side, we need to be more careful."

Jiang Sirou nodded thoughtfully.

And the day before, Dianzhang had secretly arrived in the capital.

The capital city is still as prosperous as ever, with people coming and going and traffic busy on the streets.

Dianzhang transformed himself into an ordinary peddler, carrying a shoulder pole and walking through the streets and alleys.

"The guards in the palace seem to be stricter than before." He thought to himself.

According to Jiang Chen's instructions, he needed to find He Xiaowei. However, it was not easy to contact her secretly in such a huge capital.

Dianzhang walked to a busy street and saw a magnificent mansion in front of him. It was Prime Minister He's mansion. He looked up and saw that the door was closed and several menacing guards stood at the door.

"It seems that I can only find a way out through the back door." Dian Zhang thought to himself.

He went around to the back alley of the mansion and found a small side door, usually used by servants to enter and exit. He looked around, made sure no one was paying attention, and then quietly approached.

At this moment, a maid carrying a bucket of water came out from the side door. Dianzhang was quick to respond and called out softly, "Little girl, please wait a moment."

The maid was startled by the sudden sound. She turned around and saw a strange man. She asked warily, "Who are you?"

Dianzhang smiled slightly, took out a jade pendant from his bosom, and whispered, "I was asked by someone to come and find Miss He."

The maid took a look at the jade pendant, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "This is... Please wait a moment, I will go and inform you."

"There's no need to alarm others. Just tell Miss He that an old friend is visiting." Dianzhang reminded.

The maid nodded and quickly turned back to the mansion.

After a while, the side door opened again and a woman in a plain long dress walked out. It was He Xiaowei.

Her face was pale, and there was a hint of worry between her brows. When she saw Dianzhang, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Dianzhang, is it you?"

Dianzhang clasped his fists and bowed, saying in a low voice, "Miss He, long time no see."

He Xiaowei stepped forward and asked with concern, "Why are you here? Are the princess and His Highness...?"

Dianzhang looked solemn as he took out Jiang Sirou's letter from his bosom: "This is a letter from the Thirteenth Princess. Please take a look."

He Xiaowei hurriedly took the letter and began to read. As her eyes moved, her expression gradually grew solemn, and her fingers trembled slightly.

"Things are so serious..." she murmured softly.

Dianzhang looked at her and said slowly, "His Highness the Sixteenth Prince and the Thirteenth Princess should have arrived in Yunzhou by now. His Highness hopes you can go with me to meet them."

He Xiaowei raised her head, her eyes filled with determination: "Okay, I understand. Wait for me, I will go to my second aunt's house in Yunzhou in an hour, you wait for me at the front door."

Dianzhang nodded. "That's very good. However, we need to act secretly to avoid attracting other people's attention."

He Xiaowei nodded: "I understand! I will make proper arrangements."

After returning home, He Xiaowei told her grandfather that she had dreamed of her second aunt yesterday and missed her very much. She wanted to go to her second aunt's home in Yunzhou to rest for a few days.

Although her grandfather, Prime Minister He, was a little worried, he didn't think much about it and sent a few guards to follow her all the way.

Late at night, He Xiaowei quietly packed her luggage and left the He Mansion through the main gate. Several guards with high martial arts skills protected her.

Dianzhang had been waiting outside for a long time, following He Xiaowei's convoy all the way towards Yunzhou.

Along the way, they avoided official roads and chose shorter paths. They rested in the mountains at night and set out again early in the morning.

Three days later, in a forest outside Yunzhou City.

Jiang Chen, Jiang Sirou and Zuo Yongyu arrived here early, waiting for Dian Zhang and He Xiaowei to arrive.

"Sixteenth brother, will they arrive safely?" Jiang Sirou asked with some concern.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, his eyes full of confidence: "Don't worry, among these guards, I trust Dianzhang the most. Apart from flattery, his other abilities are outstanding."

Zuo Yongyu looked around, vigilantly observing the movements around him: "Your Highness, there is nothing unusual around here for the time being."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

At this time, there was a sound of horse hooves in the distance.

Jiang Chen looked up and saw a horse galloping towards him. It was Dianzhang.

"They are here!" Jiang Sirou said happily.

Several people quickly went to meet him.

"Your Highness, Princess Thirteen, I have fulfilled my mission." Dianzhang dismounted and saluted.

Jiang Sirou asked with concern: "Where's Xiao Wei'er? Why didn't she come with you?"

Dianzhang said, "Their motorcade is behind and will arrive soon. However, there are several guards from the He Mansion accompanying them. Miss He's excuse for coming out is to visit her second aunt in Yunzhou."

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, "Thirteenth Sister, let's go to the Yuelai Inn and wait for her. Dianzhang, find a way to notify Miss He and ask her to come to the Yuelai Inn to find us!"

Dianzhang clasped his hands together and said, "Okay, Your Highness! Leave it to me!"

After saying that, Jiang Chen took Jiang Sirou and Zuo Yongyu and slowly returned to Yuelai Inn.

Jiang Sirou looked puzzled. "Sixteenth brother, is there something wrong with the servants in the He Mansion? Why are you deliberately avoiding them?"
