After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive
Chapter 64 The Night is as Dark as Ink
Zhou Yimo looked at Xie Xuan'an steadily, and a smile quietly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After connecting all the events together, he had a rough idea of Xie Xuanan's identity and purpose.
Zhou Yimo said calmly:
"Brother Xie, Mr. Liu is furious today and out of control. I'm sure he won't stay in the Liu Mansion tonight. Why don't we take this opportunity to steal the evidence first and then discuss the rest with you later?"
"Okay!" Xie Xuan'an thought for a moment and nodded slightly to show his agreement.
"In your opinion, what is the appropriate plan for us to make next?"
Seeing that Zhou Yimo had guessed his thoughts, Xie Xuan'an thought that his cultivation was not enough.
He was not annoyed, but was asking for advice humbly at the moment.
Zhou Yimo pointed at the map and spoke again without haste:
"Brother Xie, send two people to create some noise in this west area. It would be best if they set fire to one or two deserted, uninhabited side rooms. Make the noise a bit louder to distract their attention. After that, these two people will go and lure Governor Qian's men to Mr. Liu's mansion.
The remaining six people will come to the study to contain these ten masters so that my wife can find an opportunity to sneak in and steal evidence."
"Oh?" Xie Xuan'an narrowed his peach blossom eyes, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes, "Diverting the trouble?"
Zhou Yimo nodded, his face calm. He turned his head and asked Li Qingqing:
"Ma'am, what do you think?"
Li Qingqing had been standing by, quietly listening to their conversation.
She thought Zhou Yimo's plan was good, so she said to Xie Xuan'an:
"After these two men burn down the side rooms, there's no need to wait, immediately go and lure Governor Qian's men over. Also, once I enter the secret room, your men must find a way to evacuate completely, and don't let anyone discover that I'm your man. Don't worry about me, I'll find a way back!"
She has a space. If there is danger, she can take shelter in the space temporarily and then secretly find an opportunity to sneak out.
When Zhou Yimo heard his wife say that no one was needed, he looked at Li Qingqing intently and found that her expression was serious and did not seem like she was joking.
Thinking about what his wife had said before, he knew that she must have a solution, so he kept silent.
Xie Xuanan also felt that this plan had no flaws, and he nodded in agreement:
"Don't worry, I will make sure everything is arranged."
Zhou An and the others are discussing plans here.
Before I knew it, the sky had gradually darkened.
Zhou family in Lihua Village.
Mu Yunjing originally wanted to wait for Zhou Yimo and Li Qingqing to come back before leaving the Zhou family.
His injuries are almost healed now, and it's time to return to the Southern Protectorate.
But at this time he was a little passive.
He had separated from his subordinates before, and had no money on him except the golden token proving his identity and his own sword. He needed to find someone to get the silver first, or wait for his subordinates to find him first.
Besides, he had agreed to pay the medical fee, so he couldn't just run away secretly, could he?
But after waiting for a long time, it was already dark and Zhou Yimo and the others still hadn't returned.
He can't cook!
Xier complained that she was hungry and wanted to go to the pear tree next to Huo Huo's house.
Mu Yunjing had no expression on his face, and a willow branch pushed her down.
Xier wanted to argue.
Zhao's grandmother came over to deliver clothes and shoes, and she happened to see it and quickly comforted her:
"Xi'er, your father beat you because this pear fruit is not ripe yet. Eating it will give you a stomachache!"
Xier had tears in her eyes, but she couldn't beat Yunjing.
She knew that there were outsiders present and she couldn't talk nonsense, so she rolled her eyes at Mu Yunjing and ran to Zhou's mother's room for comfort.
Mu Yunjing: He is the third prince of the Dayuan Kingdom, now twenty-two years old, and has never even touched a woman's hand. He still has to take care of naughty children.
The couple now used his free labor very effectively.
Fortunately, when the grandmother of the Zhao family saw that the Zhou family had calmed down and learned that Li Qingqing and Zhou Yimo had not returned yet, she made dinner for the Zhou family and they managed to have a meal.
At night, Mu Yunjing was lying on the bed resting when he heard a few faint footsteps outside the yard.
He suddenly opened his eyes, stood up quietly, and was about to pick up his sword when a familiar whistle sounded outside the yard.
His shadow guard finally showed up!
Mu Yunjing was delighted.
He quickly came to the yard and opened the bamboo gate.
Dark as ink.
As soon as several figures saw Mu Yunjing, they immediately knelt down respectfully and saluted him.
"Your Highness, your subordinates have finally found you." The leader whispered, with a hint of fatigue in his voice.
Mu Yunjing was excited in his heart, but his face was calm. He nodded slightly and motioned for them to stand up.
"You've worked hard, get up."
His voice was low and powerful, revealing an unquestionable majesty, completely sweeping away his previous low-key and dull tone.
Everyone stood up.
The leader stepped forward, saluted, and said:
"Your Highness, we sent someone to inform General Zhennan when we arrived. He should be coming to see you soon, following the instructions we gave him."
The young general of Zhennan is the eldest son of the old general of Zhennan. It was Li Feng who volunteered to go to the border with him a year ago.
"Okay!" Mu Yunjing nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Where is the grain from the Ministry of Revenue now?"
The leader quickly replied, "Your Highness, the grain is still on its way. According to the latest news, it's expected to arrive at the Protectorate within three days. We've arranged for people to guard it along the way."
Mu Yunjing frowned slightly, a sharp look flashing across his eyes. He spoke in a deep voice, "Make sure the food and supplies are safe. There can't be any mistakes."
"I understand." The leader responded respectfully.
"Have you found out why the Ministry of Revenue did not distribute the grain in the first place?" Mu Yunjing continued to ask.
"Your Highness, someone has kidnapped the Minister of Revenue's only daughter and is using her to threaten him. However, her whereabouts are unknown, and the Minister of Revenue has been sending people to investigate."
"Whereabouts unknown?" Mu Yunjing pondered silently.
The Minister of Revenue had no children in his early years, but in his middle age he had a daughter who was loved by the whole family.
At first, he refused to ship the grain, so Mu Yunjing went directly to the emperor to ask for it, forcing him to ship the grain.
It turned out that someone was threatening him.
"Your Highness, should we set off back to the Protectorate immediately?" The leader saw Mu Yunjing in deep thought and continued to ask.
"Not yet. Wait until Li Feng arrives before leaving." Mu Yunjing's face was calm as he glanced at the leader. "Young Master Xie, have you set up your private property in a nearby county or town?"
"Your Highness, Young Master Xie is currently at Zuiyuexuan in Qiushui Town. He has requested to be transferred to Yuntai County as the county magistrate. He contacted us yesterday, saying he had news about Your Highness and asked me to notify General Li to rush to Qiushui Town immediately.
Because I discovered the traces of the Eastern Palace Guards on the way, I guessed that Your Highness might be here, so I temporarily changed my route and finally found you! "
Mu Yunjing's eyes tinged with anger when he heard this: "This kid is messing around! Why would he become a county magistrate instead of doing business?"
Mu Yunjing was very annoyed, but he also knew that Young Master Xie was always casual. He ordered the shadow guard to
"Forget it. Go find Young Master Xie first and send someone to protect him. Also, bring over some more banknotes tomorrow."
Mu Yunjing paused and spoke again: "Buy another water bag and send it over tomorrow."
"Yes!" Several shadow guards saluted again, jumped lightly, and disappeared into the night.
Mu Yunjing stood where he was and watched the shadow guard leave.
Only when their figures completely merged into the darkness did he slowly turn around and walk back to the house.
