Exile: Empty half of the capital and blow up the enemy's palace

Before dark, Yun Qingqing and her group came to a small town and found an inn to stay overnight.

Yun Qingqing didn't want to be disturbed, so she booked the entire backyard so that her family could have a good rest.

Everyone was tired after a day of traveling. After the rooms were arranged, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.

Yun Qingqing did not go back to her room to rest, but accompanied the elder lady to her room.

After the two sat down at the table, the elder lady took Yun Qingqing's hand with a loving look on her face and said, "A Bao, tell me what you want to say to Grandmother."

Since my granddaughter didn't go back to her room to rest, I accompanied her to the room because I must want to tell her something in private.

"Grandmother, before the Duke of Huguo's mansion was confiscated and exiled, did you receive any letters or other news from my grandfather and others?" Yun Qingqing asked the elder lady with a serious expression.

The elder lady shook her head and said, "No, your grandfather doesn't like writing letters. He only writes me one letter every three months to tell me that 'everything is fine' and to reassure me. This is the second month. If your grandfather and his family are safe, he will send me a letter next month."

When the elder lady said this, there was a hint of worry in her voice, "Abao, do you also think that your grandfather and the others might have been in trouble?"

Yun Qingqing nodded and said frankly, "Grandma, I think there are two possibilities for Grandpa and the others now.

One possibility is that my grandfather and his men pretended to defect to the Northern Desert Kingdom, hoping to use internal and external forces to capture the Northern Desert Kingdom's cities;

Another possibility is that something happened to my grandfather and his people, so they allowed people from the Northern Desert Kingdom to come to the Great Zhou Kingdom and spread news that was unfavorable to our Protectorate Mansion."

After hearing this, the elder lady's face darkened slightly. She felt that it was more likely that something had happened to the old man and the others.

Before arriving at the small tea shop, she had been comforting herself in her heart that the men in the Duke of Huguo's Mansion were blessed by heaven and would be fine with God's protection.

The old men are pretending to defect to the Northern Desert Kingdom, hoping to catch them by surprise.

But after learning today that the people of Beimo came to the Great Zhou Kingdom and bribed villains to spread the news that the Protector of the Country was collaborating with the enemy and committing treason, she couldn't help but feel worried.

The King of Beimo Kingdom has always wanted to win over the Duke of Huguo's Mansion and make them join Beimo Kingdom.

If the old man and his men really pretended to defect to the Northern Desert Kingdom, the king of the Northern Desert Kingdom would definitely not send people to the Great Zhou Kingdom to spread the news and put the people of their Duke of the Guard to death.

They would be more likely to choose to send people to the Great Zhou Kingdom quietly and bring all the people from the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion to the Northern Desert Kingdom, so that they can better control the men in the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion.

Yun Qingqing noticed that the elder lady looked unhappy and comforted her, "Grandma, don't worry. Grandpa and the others are blessed by fate, and they will be fine."

After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for her to speak and said to her, "Grandma, I want to go to the border alone to see what the situation is like with Grandpa and the others."

As soon as she finished speaking, the elder lady objected: "No, Abao, it's too dangerous for a girl like you to go to the border alone."

Although the granddaughter is very capable, she is simple-minded and does not know how sinister people are.

She was worried about her going to the border alone, not to mention that she didn't know what the situation was like there.

In addition, my granddaughter's son has a hot temper and will get angry with anyone he doesn't like.

If something happened to the old man and his friends, the granddaughter would definitely rush in alone to save them impulsively.

She only has this one precious granddaughter, and she can't let anything happen to her.

"Grandma, don't worry. I'm very capable. Nothing will happen. I'll go check on the border. If Grandpa and the others are okay, I'll come back to find you right away."

After a moment's silence, the elder lady said, "Abao, don't go to the border yet. Let Wei Dong go there first to find out what's going on. If your grandfather and the others are really in trouble, we will go and rescue them."

Wei Dong is calm and composed, and has a mild temper. It is safest and most appropriate to let him go to the border to inquire about the situation.

Yun Qingqing thought for a while after hearing this: the officials have not been dealt with yet, and the family members have not been settled yet, and she can't leave for the time being. Instead, she can let Wei Dong go to the border first to inquire about the situation.

So Yun Qingqing nodded and agreed, "Okay, Grandmother, you should have a good rest. I won't disturb your rest here. I will go to talk to the guard about this matter and ask him to leave for the border tomorrow to inquire about the situation."

After Yun Qingqing finished speaking, she stood up and left the elder lady's room without waiting for her to speak, and went straight to find Wei Dong.

Finding Wei Dong in the yard, Yun Qingqing walked up to him and said, "Guardian Wei, I want to ask you to do something."

Wei Dong bowed and asked respectfully, "What do you want, young lady?"

Yun Qingqing said, "Guard Wei, I want you to leave for the border tomorrow to find out about Grandfather and the others' situation, and then report back to me."

Wei Dong's expression was solemn upon hearing this. He nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Miss Nine. I will definitely fulfill my mission. I will set off for the border now."

After listening to what the four greedy villains in the small tea shop said, he suspected that something had happened to the general and his men, and he also wanted to go to the border to find out the situation.

Thinking that Miss Nine was so powerful and could protect everyone in the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, he could leave.

"Guard, there's no need to be so anxious. It's getting late now. Qi Chen should go to the border tomorrow."

Wei Dong insisted, "Miss Nine, I will set off for the border now."

He had to go to the border to see how the general and the others were doing. Only when he knew they were safe could he feel at ease.

Yun Qingqing stopped trying to persuade him after hearing this. She took out a 10,000 tael silver note from her space and handed it to him. "Guardian Wei, here are 10,000 taels of silver note. Take it and spend it on your journey."

Wei Dong looked at the ten thousand taels of silver note, and his eyes instantly widened. He quickly waved his hands and said, "Miss Jiu, this is unacceptable. I cannot accept so much silver."

Yun Qingqing stuffed the banknote into his hand and said, "Just take it if I tell you to. You can't go out without money. Besides, this money might come in handy."

Wei Dong didn't say anything more after hearing this.

Yun Qingqing yawned, "Guard Wei, if you see anything bad happening at the border, please inform me immediately."

Wei Dong nodded, "Yes, Miss Nine."

Yun Qingqing warned him, "Be careful. If you can't win, run away. There's no shame in running away."

"Yes, Miss Jiu." Wei Dong nodded with emotion and thought to himself: Miss Jiu is such a kind-hearted person.

After giving him instructions, Yun Qingqing turned around and left to go back to her room to rest.
