Junior sister took first place again

Ji Tang sat in the bright tent, holding an exquisite jade pendant in his hand. It was a secret token of communication belonging to a frontier tribe that had surrendered to the Ji family.

After a moment, she whistled softly, and a man in black flashed out from the shadow of the tent, took the jade pendant, and disappeared into the night.

Then Ji Tang stood up and walked to the hanging map, his eyes scanning back and forth on the map, and his fingers tapping lightly on several key locations.

The two siblings probably knew that there were too many spies in the army, so the security around them was extremely tight. They only used the people they brought with them, and strangers were completely unable to approach their tent.

Ji Tang had no choice but to look for another opportunity and arranged several people to sneak into the border tribes, posing as herdsmen and merchants, to collect information on Princess Zhaohua and the Fourth Prince's every move.

After working hard for a few days, Ji Tang finally figured out the truth behind Ning Zhao's disappearance.

The emperor actually asked her to come and find the military token!

Pinning their hopes on something so illusory, it seems the royal family is really at the end of the road.

It is unclear what the Fourth Prince is doing.

But since he came to the border, considering the current actual situation, Ning Yuan’s purpose is not difficult to guess.

After figuring out what the two had done, Ji Tang instructed one of his confidants and the generals under the command of the general stationed there to keep an eye on the Fourth Prince.

She herself brought several people to help Princess Zhaohua find the military token.

Until now, Ji Tang still has no idea about this illusion.

Therefore, this mysterious-sounding military token may be one of the clues.

And even if she guessed wrong, she would not suffer any loss if she found the military token.

After all, the troops given by the Ji family and having an army of your own are two completely different things.

If you can't get out of the illusion and want to do something big here, it would be more convenient if you have a group of people who belong to you alone.

It has to be said that Ning Jiasheng was very satisfied with the cooperation with this group of small tribes.

Although their forces were not large enough, they were vulnerable to real cavalry.

But it is precisely because of this that they each have their own way of survival.

Although she cannot openly confront Shang Jiyuan's forces, this group of people can be considered local tyrants in this area, and they are particularly useful in helping her monitor Ning Yuan.

Ning Jiasheng often met with these elders openly, and Xue Wuying thought she was trying her best to find the military token.

In fact, Ning Jiasheng didn't pay much attention to this matter.

The group of elders also unanimously felt that pinning their hopes on the military talisman was too unreliable and was just a superficial pretense.

In terms of actual achievements, the most important thing is to help the Fourth Prince regain military power as soon as possible.

Compared with the general's usurpation of power and dictatorship, they still support the orthodoxy of the royal family more.

If Your Majesty can secure the throne, their contribution this time will be considered as great wealth and honor.

Moreover, it sounds good in name.

However, the elders did not know that the relationship between Princess Zhaohua and the Fourth Prince was not as harmonious as they seemed on the surface, and Ning Jiasheng had given them wrong hints before.

Therefore, no one ever mentioned the military token in front of the Fourth Prince.

Therefore, Xue Wuying felt that this group of people were quite aware of the current situation, and was even planning what rewards he would give them after he took the throne.

Because of this beautiful misunderstanding, both parties actively cooperated with each other and the progress was greatly accelerated.

Ning Jiasheng smiled secretly, keeping his achievements and fame hidden.

However, no one expected that in the end there was a Ji Tang who was trying his best to find the military token.

And, she actually found a clue.

"Imperial Mausoleum?"

Still in the tent, Ji Tang suddenly stood up and looked at the man in black kneeling below.

The man replied humbly, "The lineage of the King of Chu has held this military token to guard the border for generations. When the previous King of Chu passed away without an heir, his last words required that a large-scale burial be carried out, and that he be buried in a beautiful place with clear water and mountains."

"So, rumors spread that the military talisman was buried with him in the mausoleum. Countless people flocked to search for his tomb, but they found nothing. The matter gradually died down."

"But according to the latest clues I've gathered, the previous King of Chu wasn't actually a member of the royal family, but rather an adopted son of the then-King of Chu. Therefore, I infer that the military talisman is most likely hidden in the imperial tomb of the Chu lineage here."

"However, the imperial mausoleum is rife with traps and dangers. Despite our best efforts, we can only advance to the outer reaches of the central coffin chamber. Only a member of the Ningguo royal family can unlock the inner chamber."

After hearing this, Ji Tang paced back and forth in the tent, thinking for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said with determination:

"Disclose this news to the princess, gather the men, and capture her as soon as she approaches the imperial mausoleum. Before I come out, Ning Yuan and the others must not notice anything unusual."

"Subordinates take orders!"

Before the man in black finished speaking, he disappeared like a ghost.

Ji Tang stared at the map, a gleam of determination flashing in his eyes.
