The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Sirius naturally recognized Chu Luen's voice, stopped what he was doing, and turned around to look.

"It's Brother Chu Luen. What can I do for you, Brother Chu?"

Sirius was a little curious, since Chu Luen rarely sought him out.

Chu Luen glanced at the people around him, then lowered his voice: "Brother Tianlang, let's talk in private."

With that, Chuluen turned around and walked towards the grassland in the night.

Sirius was taken aback, hesitated for a moment, and then followed.

Soon, the two arrived at the foot of a small hill, a depression in the grassland with a small pond where many people usually come to fetch water.

At this moment, the moonlight was reflected on the water, creating a shimmering, dreamlike scene.

After confirming that no one was around, Tianlang cautiously asked, "General Chu, is there anything I need to do in the Central Plains?"

Chu Luen said calmly, "Brother Tianlang, you acted quite well, fooling so many people, but you can't fool my eyes!"

Upon hearing Chu Luen's words, Tianlang felt a jolt of fear!

Has my identity as a double agent been exposed?

However, although he was panicked inside, he remained very calm on the surface, without the slightest ripple.

Because if Chuluen wanted to harm him, he would never have called him here alone.

"General Chu, I don't understand what you're saying," Tianlang said with a slight smile.

Chu Luen sneered, "Tianlang, you don't really think you can cover up your actions perfectly, do you?"

Tianlang shook his head: "General Chu, I really don't understand."

Chu Luen bluntly stated, "Tianlang, you really think I don't know you've been secretly hiding treasures?"

what?

Sirius was completely dumbfounded.

What does it mean to secretly hide treasure?

He wasn't hiding treasures; he was putting intelligence in bottles and jars, burying them at the rendezvous point, and waiting for his subordinates to retrieve them.

Even if Chu Luen knew about his operation, he might not be able to find the information he had hidden inside, because he had concealed it very well. It would take a very clever method to retrieve the information from inside.

Chu Luen is a roughneck, so he might not notice.

However, Tianlang couldn't be sure, so after hearing what Chu Luen said, Tianlang pretended to be very surprised and stammered, "General Chu... how did you... find out?"

Seeing Tianlang so flustered, even breaking out in a cold sweat, Tianlang sneered: "Not long ago, just yesterday, I said to Brother Tianlang, how much money could you possibly have hidden away in all that junk?"

"You've helped the princess manage the caravan; you must have made quite a bit of money over the years, right?"

"But this eye for detail is really not impressive! I originally thought you might be hiding some treasure."

"When we dug it up, it turned out to be nothing but scrap metal."

Upon hearing this, Tianlang was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground: "General Chu! I was confused for a moment. I spent a lot of money to buy these things in Dajing! Please, Your Highness, keep this a secret and don't tell the Princess. As for these treasures of mine, you may take them as you please!"

Upon hearing Tianlang's words, Chu Luen was speechless: "Only you would treat these junks of Dajing as treasures! Let me tell you, I don't need your things! But if you want me to help you cover it up, you have to do something for me!"

Sirius quickly said, "General, please speak!"

“A month from now, my army will march south. At that time, you will help me hide one person in your caravan and take him to Dajing. If you do this well, I will not only help you keep it a secret, but I will also give you 20,000 gold coins! You will be rich for life and will never have to hide these junks again!” Chu Luen said calmly.

However, Chu Luen certainly doesn't have that much gold right now. He can only get it by plundering the homes of wealthy landlords after he takes over the southwest of Dajing.

To get people to willingly do things for you, you still need to make promises you can't keep.

Upon hearing this, Sirius was also puzzled: "General, how could I possibly know who to bring?"

Who is worth 20,000 gold?

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask," Chu Luen said. "As for who it is, you'll find out in time."

Tianlang nodded hastily: "It's just one person, General, don't worry!"

Chu Luen shook his head: "Brother Tianlang, you've been in Dajing for many years and have had a lot of contact with the people of Dajing. You've become obsessed with gold and silver and become a miser. You can't be like that!"

"Yes! I understand! Please forgive my foolishness, General!" Tianlang felt bitter inside.

Only after Chu Luen left did Tianlang breathe a sigh of relief.

However, he knew that this current method of transmitting messages could no longer be used.

If Chu Luen could discover it, then others could naturally discover it as well.

It's time to try a different approach!

……

Xiao Reba has her own troubles.

The atmosphere in Cliff City was becoming increasingly tense.

As the days went by.

The shadow of a great war is already looming over Cliff City!

The rain is coming from the wind!

The people throughout the southwest and northwest, including the soldiers and civilians building the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, now knew that 300,000 Kushan cavalry were about to march south.

After hearing about the relative strengths of the two armies, the local people were skeptical about whether they could defend the cliff city.

One side has less than 100,000, while the other side has 500,000!

Moreover, they are all barbarians with extremely strong combat power!

Meanwhile, the imperial capital.

The buzz surrounding the assassination attempt on the Fifth Prince, which nearly wiped out his entire family, was overshadowed by the intense interest in the battlefield at Juebi City.

Compared to the gains and losses of Juebi City and the entire Youzhou Prefecture, the life and death of the Fifth Prince became completely unimportant!

Everyone was only concerned about whether the Great Jing Dynasty could overcome this crisis again!

Even the Longwu Dynasty sent many spies to Youzhou County to gather intelligence!

The imperial reinforcements have also set off.

One piece of news in particular caused a complete uproar throughout the government and the public.

That was Jia Daoshi, the commander of the Imperial City Guard, who had formed a mysterious new army in the city of Juebi and declared that he would use the new army to defeat 500,000 Kushan barbarian cavalry!

This immediately attracted everyone's attention!

Since its establishment, every commander of the Imperial City Division of the Great Jing Dynasty has been short-lived, making the Imperial City Division the biggest joke in the martial arts world!

But now things have turned out differently. After this guy named Jia Daoshi took office, he made a killing in the martial arts world, almost leaving the entire martial arts world speechless!

Now, things are really messed up. They have to form a new army to confront the Kushan Empire's 500,000 barbarian cavalry head-on!

Is this guy even human?

Jia Daoshi stole the show, while Wu Quan on the other side was frustrated!

Because nobody was paying attention to his assassination attempt anymore!

It's as if his people died in vain; things are still the same as before, and even the Empress's actions are all bark and no bite.

What angered Wu Quan the most was a very outrageous rumor circulating among the people!
