Mu Xiyue thought for a moment and said, "If we can determine who the leader of these private soldiers is, we should first arrest him. Without a supporter, the private soldiers will naturally lose their morale. Also, try to find the leader of these private soldiers and arrest or kill him. Soldiers without a leader are just scattered soldiers, and are more likely to be recruited."
Mu Xiyue paused and continued, "If we really can't recruit them, the terrain over there is suitable for a siege. As long as we guard the other exits and only leave the opening on the side of the big crack, it won't be difficult to prevent them from escaping alive."
Xiao Yibai and Qi Heng had both thought of the methods Mu Xiyue mentioned. These private soldiers were huge in number, and perhaps they didn't even know that they were just other people's private soldiers. It would be best if they could recruit them.
Xiao Yibai said, "We have also considered recruiting them. Just like you said, if we can determine who the master of these private soldiers is, we can first control that person. However, it will be difficult to obtain sufficient evidence to accuse them before these private soldiers are taken down. The person who can support so many private soldiers must be of extremely high status. He may even have a master above General Zhenyuan."
Mu Xiyue understood the meaning behind his words, "So the only one who can be General Zhenyuan's master is a prince. There are only a few princes who are strong enough to make General Zhenyuan follow them."
Although the Second Prince's men had been wiped out long ago, he was only stripped of his title, and his property was not confiscated. The Second Prince's grandfather and father-in-law were originally charged with corruption, bribery, and weapons trafficking. It was impossible for the Second Prince not to have a share of this money, and this valley had existed for at least two years, so the Second Prince might also be the master behind it.
"The First and Fourth Princes are the Empress's legitimate children. I don't think the First Prince is very scheming; he's a bit impulsive, arrogant, and conceited. I think he's less likely to keep private soldiers than the Second Prince. The Fourth Prince is like a smiling tiger, even more secretive and scheming than the First Prince. I've only met the Third Prince twice, and we didn't talk much. He seems like an optimist, as if he doesn't compete. However, his smile gives people a sense of distance. This kind of person may be a dormant venomous snake."
Qi Heng gave Mu Xiyue a thumbs up and said, "Miss Mu, your analysis is spot on. Have you ever considered that the person next to you might be a possible case?"
Mu Xiyue gave him an idiotic look. "It's clear from the blacksmith's disappearance that it couldn't be Xiao Yibai's fault. Otherwise, why would he go to so much trouble to investigate him? It can't be to impress the Qilin Guards who follow him! The most important thing is that Xiao Yibai has no ambition for that position."
Xiao Yibai pursed his lips and chuckled, "Yueyue understands me."
Qi Heng asked again, "There are more than five princes. The Sixth Prince is already sixteen, and he has spent half of the past two years traveling. Miss Mu, don't you think he has a greater chance? He also has a younger brother, the Seventh Prince, who is fourteen years old and can help him in the capital. The Sixth Prince's eldest uncle is the General of Zhenxi, and his second uncle is a businessman. He is a well-known wealthy businessman in Tianqi Kingdom."
Mu Xiyue knew that Qi Heng didn't really doubt the Sixth Prince. She rolled her fingers lightly and said, "The Sixth Prince's possibility is even smaller than Xiao Yibai's. I have more contact with the Sixth Prince than the other princes. The Sixth Prince's eyes are very clear. He is not an ambitious person."
Mu Xiyue has been in the apocalypse for five years, and she can tell whether a person has ambition or not.
Mu Xiyue's analysis was very logical, and Xiao Yibai nodded slightly. "Yueyue is very good at judging people. Father's shadow guards are already investigating which prince is involved in this matter. It won't take more than two weeks. Father also wants to capture a few of the private army leaders alive, as they are very important witnesses."
Mu Xiyue nodded. "Indeed. When are you leaving for that place? I'll go with you. We'll find a way to sneak into the private army camp, or get as close as possible. As long as they're within ten feet of me, I'll help you capture them alive."
Qi Heng had never seen Mu Xiyue's abilities before, and he was curious about how this girl could boast like that. The leader of a private army camp would always be accompanied by guards. The most important thing was that, despite the large size of the valley, so many people were crammed together that a single roar could instantly fill it. How could they capture them?
Xiao Yibai naturally believed that Mu Xiyue had this ability. He agreed with a smile, "Okay, Qi Heng and I will leave in four days at the earliest. The people who go there to investigate will be back in the capital in two or three days. After they come back, we will refine the plan and report it to father, and then we will set off."
They had almost finished chatting, so Qi Heng went back before dinner time.
Mu Xiyue told Xiao Yibai about her encounter with Prince Rui at the city gate yesterday evening. "Do you think Prince Rui is mentally ill? He stopped me and said a lot of sarcastic things to me. Do you know the security situation in Prince Rui's mansion? If I go to Prince Rui's mansion at night, is it possible to avoid the guards?"
With no one else in the study, Xiao Yibai no longer had any concerns. He found Mu Xiyue's angry look quite amusing, so he reached out and pulled her into his arms to sit down. "Prince Rui is indeed mentally ill. What do you want to do in the Rui Palace? I have people there. If you want to avoid the guards, it depends on which courtyard you want to go to."
Mu Xiyue was held in his arms and couldn't break free, so she let him hold her. She reached out and touched his Adam's apple. "I want to go to his warehouse. I can still deal with one or two guards in plain sight quietly."
"I'll take you there in the evening." Xiao Yibai didn't ask her what she was going to do in the warehouse of Prince Rui's Mansion. The two of them couldn't bring much stuff, but if she wanted to go, he would take her to play.
It's inevitable that a loved one will be restless in his arms, and Xiao Yibai naturally held her lips. This was not their first kiss, and Mu Xiyue was not shy. She enjoyed this kind of intimate interaction.
Although her response was awkward, it only made Xiao Yibai pursue it more passionately. Her lips were sucked a little painfully, and she opened her mouth slightly and hummed softly. Her teeth were pried open and her tongue was wrapped around. Everything was driven by instinct, lingering and passionate.
Xiao Yibai felt as if his body was burning with heat and restlessness. He parted his lips and held her tightly in his arms, breathing softly in her ear, each breath slow and suppressed.
Mu Xiyue felt a little breathless because he hugged her too tightly. It was just that the kiss just now was a little intense, and her body felt a little weak. She didn't have much strength to push on Xiao Yibai's shoulders.
"Yueyue, don't move anymore. Let me hold you for a while."
Xiao Yibai's voice was a little hoarse. Mu Xiyue was not a little white rabbit who knew nothing. The changes in his body made Mu Xiyue very embarrassed.
Xiao Yibai felt the person in his arms become stiff, so he chuckled softly and let go.
"Did you get scared? Sorry, I can't control my emotions around you."
Mu Xiyue pretended to be calm, "It's okay, it's a normal physiological reaction."
