The general's eldest daughter has a spatial ability
Chapter 400 Discovering Identity
Upon hearing his subordinate's words, the fat magistrate was so angry that his eyes rolled back and he almost fainted.
"master!"
"Sir, how are you?"
One after another, butterflies swarmed towards the fat pig. The fat pig magistrate paused for a moment, took a breath, and, supported by several constables, stumbled toward his bedroom.
Upon arriving at the door, they found it wide open. The steward, standing guard at the entrance, greeted the magistrate: "Your Honor, all the treasures in your room have been looted, except for that broken bed..."
Upon hearing this, the fat pig slapped the steward across the face: "Did you steal from me? How could so many things disappear from my mansion without anyone noticing? There's only one possibility: an inside job! Confess honestly, and I'll spare your life."
Upon hearing this, the steward immediately knelt down and kowtowed, begging for mercy: "My lord, I am truly innocent! I only came after hearing the commotion and haven't left for a moment. All the servants can testify for me, my lord!"
Besides, I don't have the ability to move all these antique paintings, calligraphy, jade ornaments, and other valuables from the mansion without anyone noticing. I beg you, sir, to investigate thoroughly."
The fat, shrewish magistrate thought about it and realized it made sense. He then turned to the servants who were with him and asked, "Have you seen the thieves?"
Upon hearing the magistrate's words, the two servants who had come with the steward were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and shook their heads: "Sir, we came with the steward and did not see the thieves. We were only called over by the steward because we heard noises. As soon as we opened the door, we saw your room. There was nothing there except a collapsed bed... Please spare us, sir! Please spare us!"
The fat, pig-like magistrate seemed to realize something in an instant. His eyes widened, and he hurriedly ran towards the warehouse.
Li Liuyun and Nangong Li, hidden in the shadows, said, "Let's go see what that fat pig's expression looks like; it'll be hilarious."
To Li Liuyun and Nangong Li's disappointment, the storeroom door was already open, and the fat pig let out a scream and immediately fainted. Several servants then carried the magistrate to the adjacent side room, where the imperial physician was once again in a flurry of activity!
Nangong Li seemed to have thought of something. He said to Li Liuyun, "Let's go to his study and see if there's anything useful there."
"We're only a few states away from the capital, and his audacity suggests he has someone backing him. We need to find evidence first; that way, we'll have solid grounds for action and achieve twice the result with half the effort."
So Li Liuyun took Nangong Li's hand and used spatial teleportation to arrive at the fat pig's study.
This was another eye-opener for Li Liuyun. Seeing how greasy that fat pig was, he never expected his study to be so elegantly furnished. The calligraphy and paintings by famous people, as well as the brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, were all exquisite.
Li Liuyun looked at Nangong Li: "Thank goodness you reminded me, otherwise I would have suffered a great loss. We are in a hurry, so I will put these away first and look for them slowly when we have time."
Nangong Li nodded, and Li Liuyun waved her hand, causing all the valuables in the study to disappear. Then, Li Liuyun told Nangong Li to wait for her while she went to drug the fat pig. Afterward, she used her spatial ability to arrive at the room where the fat pig was lying.
The physician and the concubines had already left, leaving only a young maidservant in the room. Li Liuyun struck the maidservant's pressure point with a pebble, causing her to fall into a deep sleep.
He then went to the magistrate's bedside, took out two pills, thought for a moment, put on disposable gloves, pried open the mouth of the still unconscious fat pig, stuffed the pills in, and gave him a sip of water without even giving him any. He then pointed his finger at the lower jaw and the pills were swallowed.
After harvesting the fat pig, Li Liuyun returned to his study. The two of them took out a geomantic map, selected their next location, and then teleported to their next stop, disappearing from their original spot. Li Liuyun checked the time; it was already past ten o'clock. In ancient times, there would be no one on the road at this hour.
Li Liuyun thought for a moment and said to Nangong Li, "It's been a long time since we've gone for a drive. After two more stops, we'll be in Southern Xinjiang. Why don't we take my car out and go for a drive?"
Nangong Li smiled and said to Li Liuyun, "It really has been a long time since I've driven. I wonder if my skills have become rusty. Sigh, it's a pity about those luxury cars in my garage, two of which are limited editions."
Li Liuyun waved his hand: "Then there's nothing I can do about it, but my car is pretty good too, it's suitable for this kind of mountain off-roading!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry to our next stop, then get the car out and I'll take you for a drive," Nangong Li said eagerly.
Li Liuyun smiled and sighed inwardly, it seemed that no man could resist the temptation of a car, not even a cold and aloof superstar.
Another hour passed, and the two arrived at a place not far from the southern border. After thinking for a moment, Li Liuyun decided to visit his uncle first.
But they definitely couldn't use their real identities, so they discussed it with Nangong Li and each took a disguise pill. The two of them disguised themselves as secret guards sent by Leng Gongli.
The two arrived at the military camp and identified themselves to the guards, saying that they were sent by the Princess Consort of the Prince of Pingnan. They then waited outside the tent for a summons. After a while, a man who looked about six-tenths like Xiao Jinhua came to the tent with the soldier who had announced the arrival.
Li Liuyun looked up and saw this person, and reflexively opened his mouth: "Second cousin..."
Nangong Li reached out and tugged at Li Liuyun's sleeve: "This is Second Cousin!"
Li Liuyun realized what was happening and quickly bowed to the newcomers: "General Xiao, we are here on the orders of the Prince and the Princess to find out the whereabouts of the Third Young Master and ensure his safety."
My princess also brought some things for me to pass on to the marshal and the two young generals. I would be grateful if General Xiao could introduce them to us.
Upon hearing Li Liuyun's words, Xiao Jinchen's brows furrowed with surprise, but being in a military camp, he remained cautious and asked, "So you're my cousin's people. Do you two have any tokens?" He completely ignored the prince in his words.
Li Liuyun thought for a moment, nodded, took out the lotus jade pendant that his mother had given him, and handed it over with both hands.
The moment Xiao Jinchen saw Li Liuyun take out the jade pendant, his pupils contracted. He then looked Li Liuyun up and down several times, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
Seeing this, Nangong Li stepped forward and shielded Li Liuyun behind him: "General Xiao, do you have any questions?"
Xiao Jinchen looked at the jade pendant in his hand, shook his head, and then handed it back to Li Liuyun: "Please follow me, both of you."
Xiao Jinchen walked ahead, and the three of them arrived in front of the marshal's tent. Xiao Jinchen stopped and turned to Li Liuyun and Nangong Li with a smile: "Please wait here for a moment, and allow me to go in and inform the marshal."
Li Liuyun nodded, and Xiao Jinchen raised his hand to lift the tent flap and entered the tent.
Inside the tent, a middle-aged man was processing official documents. Hearing footsteps approaching, he didn't even look up: "Who goes there?"
Xiao Jinchen didn't say anything, but took two steps forward to the desk and whispered, "Second Uncle, I suspect that it's my cousin and the Prince of Pingnan who have come."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Han suddenly looked up, his hand trembled, and a drop of ink fell from the tip of his pen onto the official document. He quickly put down his pen, looked towards the direction outside the tent, and whispered, "Who do you think is coming?"
