A post-apocalyptic female soul travels back to the War of Resistance against Japan

"Why would the Emperor send his most trusted confidant just to help Duke Anguo find his youngest son?"

"It seems the Emperor values ​​Duke Anguo highly. Could it be that he intends to win him over?"

Prince Gong, Ye Qingzhao, sneered and took out another secret letter, saying, "Take a look at this and you'll understand what's going on."

After Ren Xue finished reading the secret letter in her hand, she stared wide-eyed at Prince Gong, Ye Qingzhao, and said in disbelief:

"The letter says that His Highness the Crown Prince has disappeared!"

Ye Qingzhao nodded and said, "That's right. The Emperor sent Eunuch Yuanfu and Duke Anguo to search for his youngest son. But that's just the official story. The most likely explanation is that they are secretly searching for the Crown Prince."

"But it seems this news came too late; we didn't have time to do anything," Ren Xue said regretfully.

Ye Qingzhao didn't feel any regret. The Crown Prince was just a nine-year-old kid and posed little threat to him.

Ye Qingzhao suddenly thought of something and instructed, "Since the Blood Fiend Gang is in trouble, have Bai Sha take this opportunity to move everyone to Lin'an City!"

"Have them meet up with the people in Lin'an City beforehand, and train them all. They must ensure that all the city gates are open when our army arrives."

Ren Xue immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Master."

"What about the Flame Wolf Gang?" Ren Xue asked worriedly.

Ye Qingzhao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about them for now. Just keep an eye on them and make sure they don't interfere with our plans!"

Just as Ren Xue was about to say something, there was a knock on the door. "My lord, something has happened in Crimson Flame City, and there is also an urgent report from Phoenix Perch City!"

Seeing how anxious the people outside were, Ye Qingzhao knew something serious must have happened, so he quickly told Ren Xue to open the door.

After the man entered, he quickly cupped his hands and said, "My lord, a letter has arrived from Crimson Flame City. At the same time, Wild Wolf Mountain in Phoenix Perch City has not replied to our messages for two days."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzhao's expression changed drastically. He took the letter that was handed to him and quickly opened it to read.

This letter was from Magistrate Hu Junying of Chiyan City. After reading the letter, Ye Qingzhao couldn't help but clench his fist and slam it on the desk!

Ren Xue hurriedly asked, "What happened, Master?"

Ye Qingzhao tossed the letter to Ren Xue, "Read it yourself!"

Ren Xue quickly picked up the letter and read it, then exclaimed in shock, "How could this be? The Third Young Master has actually been arrested by the authorities!"

Ye Qingzhao steadied himself and asked his subordinate, "You just said that there's been no news from Wild Wolf Mountain for two days. What exactly happened?"

The subordinate cupped his hands and said, "To prevent any accidents, they send a letter every day to let us know they are safe, but we haven't received one for two days now. Something must have happened to Mr. Huang."

Ye Qingzhao said angrily, "Go and investigate immediately, find out everything. How did the Third Young Master get arrested? Where is he now?"

"Yes!"

Ye Qingzhao stood up, walked around the room with his hands behind his back, and the more he thought about it, the more something felt wrong. This won't do!

He couldn't just sit and wait for his fate, so he immediately returned to his desk, dipped his brush in ink, and quickly wrote a letter.

He blew on it briefly to make sure it was almost dry, then immediately put it in an envelope and handed it to Ren Xue along with another letter, saying:

"Immediately send someone to deliver these two letters back to Danzhou and give them to the eldest son."

"Yes!"

After the two left, Ye Qingzhao couldn't help but ponder. All these changes had caught him off guard. Where exactly did things go wrong?

He had everything planned perfectly, but who was it that managed to capture the third brother, Huaiwu?

Suddenly, he remembered Duke Anguo and Eunuch Yuanfu's group, and he immediately shouted outside, "Someone come here!"

Ren Xue, who had left not long ago, returned again.

"Master, is there anything else you require?"

"Immediately send someone to check if Huaiwu is with Duke Anguo and Eunuch Yuanfu's group."

Ren Xue was startled and couldn't help but ask, "Does Master suspect that the Third Young Master was captured by Duke Anguo and his men? But we haven't heard any news about it before!"

"This time, when Bai Sha suffered such a setback, he didn't even tell me if the Third Young Master was in Duke Anguo's caravan?"

"Master, I will go and find out right now." It seems that their information is not arriving in time in many places.

Ye Qingzhao thought even more deeply. If the third son was captured by the Duke of Anguo and his group, the Emperor would surely summon him to the capital. At that point, it was anyone's guess which direction things would take.

No matter how anxious and confused Prince Gong's side was, Cheng Ying and her group saw the city gate of Lin'an at three or four in the morning, which was the Yin hour.

A quarter of an hour later, they arrived at the city gate, and someone immediately ran up from the lower carriage to report.

Those who were awake still looked at the city gate in front of them with great uncertainty, but the bright three characters "Lin'an City" on the plaque above the gate made them have no choice but to believe that it was real.

My perception of the speed of this strange vehicle has increased to a whole new level.
