The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

Xu Daoyuan glanced at Yingyang's expression and thought to himself that His Majesty's guess was correct. Yingyang really hated the fake princess to the core, so the next words would be easy to say.

Add fuel to the fire, exaggerate the situation, sow discord further, and finally defeat Ying Yang, and the cooperation will surely succeed!

So, Xu Daoyuan said seriously:

"At that time, His Majesty, thinking of the brother-sister relationship, invited the virtuous prince and his wife to Vietnam to celebrate the festival, but he discovered that the virtuous prince's wife was someone else.

But His Majesty did not act rashly, but suppressed the matter on the grounds that he did not want to lose friendship with the Xia Kingdom. After a secret investigation, he found out that this virtuous princess was really not simple!

She is actually Zhao Xuan, a disciple of Zhao Xiaoman, the once-mighty chief escort of the Wuwei Escort Agency. She also won the championship at the martial arts conference held by the Tiandao League three years ago. She is also Huang Huacai, the notorious leader of Yanwang Village, who was recruited by the Xia Kingdom half a year ago!

She is cunning, ruthless, and yet possesses exceptional martial arts prowess! If it weren't for her, who else could possibly harm the King?!"

Ying Yang remained unmoved upon hearing this, and was not provoked by Xu Daoyuan's words. Instead, he held the arrow in his hand and remained silent.

He had heard his father mention Zhao Xiaoman's name in the past, and he also heard news from the Xia Kingdom some time ago that Zhao Xiaoman was suddenly attacked when she led a team to the Yue Kingdom more than ten years ago, and died in battle to protect her master.

It is understandable that the Xia Kingdom can now accept Zhao Xuan as the virtuous princess. If he can really join forces with the Yue Kingdom to destroy the Xia Kingdom, he will definitely not let Zhao Xuan go!

Xu Daoyuan couldn't help feeling a little nervous when he saw Ying Yang kept his head down in deep thought.

Before he went on this diplomatic mission to Rongdi, His Majesty gave him a death order that he must persuade the King of Rongdi to cooperate at all costs. Otherwise, the inside story that many important ministers did not know would not be revealed to him so easily.

Xu Daoyuan knew very well that if the mission failed, His Majesty would never let him go. He could then die to atone for his sins, but what about his parents, brothers, children, and his family?

Your Majesty will definitely not let any of them go!

When Xu Daoyuan thought of this, his hair stood on end and cold sweat broke out on his back. He couldn't help but lean over again and salute Yingyang.

"Your Majesty, before I came here, His Majesty told me that if you still have any concerns, I should tell you that after this is accomplished, all the cities and lands occupied by the Rongdi tribe, as well as the people's property, will belong to you. The Yue Kingdom will not covet them. I can sign the alliance with you right here and now!"

Ying Yang then looked up at Xu Daoyuan and placed the arrow on the table beside him.

When Borggu heard what Xu Daoyuan meant, that the Emperor of Yue was willing to cede such a large piece of meat and cooperate with the Rongdi tribe, his heart skipped a beat. Why did he feel like he was dreaming?

He subconsciously reminded Ying Yang.

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

But Ying Yang had his own plans and smiled at Xu Daoyuan.

"It seems the Emperor of Yue is truly determined to go to war with the Xia Kingdom, no matter the cost! Very well, I will join in the fun!"

Xu Daoyuan looked at Ying Yang in surprise.

"Does the king agree?"

"The Emperor of Yue has offered so many benefits. If I refuse, wouldn't I be betraying the Emperor's kindness and seeming ungrateful?"

Borggu looked anxious and wanted to say something, but Yingyang waved his hand at him. He was very annoyed by Borggu's fearful nature.

"I have made up my mind, Uncle Wang, there is no need to say more!"

Boggu had no choice but to stand up and bow to Yingyang, saying, "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Ying Yang raised his hand towards Xu Daoyuan.

"Master Xu, please take a seat. You have come from afar, so please try some of my fine grassland wine first. We can discuss the specific details of our cooperation after we have eaten and drunk our fill!"

Xu Daoyuan burst into tears of gratitude and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

I can finally go back and report to His Majesty!

?

It is said that Zhao Xuan and Huang Shuo disguised themselves as peddlers along the way. Even though they had enough money in their pockets, it was difficult to hire an ox cart, let alone a horse carriage. They could only rely on their own two legs to rush to Jing'an Prefecture. It was not suitable to perform light skills during the day.

Huang Shuo was carrying the load and panting heavily from exhaustion. Even his simplest mind started to curse at Guo Da for his bad idea.

"Xuan'er, is it really okay for us to pretend to be peddlers?"

Zhao Xuan thought about it and gave Huang Shuo a very fair answer.

"It would be great if we could just keep investigating in Mingshan Village, but going to Jing'an Prefecture and the relief house to gather information seems like a burden."

Zhao Xuan looked at her father, who was sweating profusely, and then looked at the two heavy baskets of goods.

"Dad, you don't have to carry these two baskets of goods. We are not short of money, so it doesn't matter if we lose money."

When Huang Shuo heard this, his face turned dark. He immediately stopped and looked at Zhao Xuan angrily.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?!"

Huang Shuo threw the load into the grass by the roadside, who cares!

When the two arrived at Jing'an Prefecture, it was already dusk. They first found an inn to stay in, packed up and went to the first floor to eat.

Huang Shuo ordered two dishes at random, stuffed two copper coins into the waiter's hand, and then asked a question.

"Young man, do you know the exact location of the Fuze Relief Home?"

The young man clenched the copper coin, his eyes lit up, and the signature smile on his face immediately turned into a sincere smile.

"Sir, you've definitely asked the right person. I was once an orphan in the Fuze Orphanage. Two years ago, the director arranged for me to become a civilian, and I found a job at this inn to support my family!"

"What a coincidence!"

Huang Shuo murmured.

The young man smiled and waved his hand.

"Unfortunately, there are many people like me who came out of the orphanage and tried to make a living on their own, including the waiter at the restaurant next door."

At this point, the young man asked enthusiastically.

"I wonder why you asked about the Fuze Relief Home?"

Zhao Xuan quickly took over the conversation.

"I have a long-lost brother. My father and I have been searching for him for years. We suspect he may have been taken in by the Fuze Relief Home in Jing'an Prefecture."

Huang Shuo wiped his face and finally showed some sadness.

"My poor son! Could you please tell me the name of your dean? We want to ask him tomorrow."

This situation seemed very normal to the young man, as there were many people who came to the orphanage to look for their relatives on weekdays. He nodded without thinking, with a look of respect on his face.

"Our director is a very kind man, his name is Li Chongxi. The relief center is at No. 1 Anli Street. Turn right from the inn, pass two intersections, turn right again, and walk about a mile to get there."

The young man said this and suggested to Huang Shuo and Zhao Xuan:

"How about this? I'll ask my boss for a day off tomorrow morning and personally take you two guests to the relief home. I'll also bring some delicious pastries to the director as a token of my appreciation. I haven't seen him in ages!"

"Thank you so much, bro!"

"No thanks, no thanks!"

The young man waved to the two of them and ran away happily.

"It seems that the director of this poorhouse is very popular and a very good person."

Zhao Xuan touched her chin and thought.

"So?" Huang Shuo looked up at Zhao Xuan.

"So if there's something wrong with the Fuze Orphanage, it must be hidden very deeply. This director is no ordinary person. We have to go to the orphanage to look for clues and make a long-term plan, otherwise we will be in danger!"

Zhao Xuan whispered to Huang Shuo.

Huang Shuo frowned and said nothing.

After a while, the waiter brought a tray and served food to Zhao Xuan and Huang Shuo. He also confirmed with them the specific time to go to Fuze Relief Home early the next morning before leaving happily.

Zhao Xuan was eating when she suddenly cried out "Ouch" and looked quite annoyed.

"Dad! Why did we forget to ask that eldest sister-in-law what the second child's name is?"

Huang Shuo ate his meal slowly and leisurely, looking normal.

"What's so difficult about that? Since the three brothers settled in Mingshan Village together, if we know the names of the eldest and third brothers, we can naturally find out the name of the second brother."

"Have you thought about it yet? How are we going to talk to the dean tomorrow?"

"Of course I tell the truth."

"what?!"

Zhao Xuan screamed and just as she picked up a meatball and put it in her mouth, it fell on the table with a plop. She didn't care about the meatball and whispered to Huang Shuo.

"Dad, if you really do this, won't our identities be exposed? What if the real culprit behind this gets to know about it? What will happen to us?"

Huang Shuo nodded thoughtfully.

"Yeah, let me think about it!"

"Dad, why do I feel like you're becoming less and less reliable?"

Zhao Xuan was so angry that she dropped her chopsticks and didn't want to eat anymore.
