Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder is Very Leisurely

Chapter 495 Cannon Fodder Concubines in the Deep Palace 58

After the main character, the military governor, left the room, the others also dispersed from this place of trouble.

Shen Chunyu was helped out of the room by her maid. She knew that everything was over. If the master knew what her brother had done before, he would definitely not let the Shen family off the hook.

Once inside the carriage, Shen Chunyu instantly slumped onto the cushions. Suddenly remembering something, she immediately instructed the coachman, "Quickly, hurry back to the Shen residence."

Only Yu Nuan, dressed in green, and Shen Yan, seated at the head of the table, remained in the room.

"Since everything is alright, Your Highness, I shall take my leave now."

“Miss Jiang, please wait a moment. I haven’t thanked you yet for helping us capture the Northern Rong people. If you need anything, please just ask. As long as it’s within my power, I will definitely satisfy you.”

"No need, Your Highness Prince Yan."

Yu Nuan resolutely refused. She didn't care about the reward for her help anyway, and she lacked nothing at the moment, so Shen Yan's promised reward wouldn't attract her at all.

After leaving the military camp, Yu Nuan had no interest in shopping and went straight back to the inn.

When the innkeeper saw that Yu Nuan and Qing Yi had returned safely, he immediately treated them with even greater respect, guessing that their identities must be extraordinary. He then instructed the inn's staff to treat the two with the utmost courtesy.

"Miss, let's leave here!" Since arriving in Liangzhou City, they've encountered nothing but terrible things. Although they haven't been harmed at all, it's still disgusting! Qingyi has a very bad impression of this place.

"Wait a minute! I haven't had a proper look around Liangzhou City yet." Yu Nuan didn't plan to leave; she wanted to see how the people on the border lived.

Yu Nuan has now gotten used to observing how the people live in each city she visits. If they are living in poverty and misery, Yu Nuan will inevitably try to find ways to help them.

Qingyi understood Yu Nuan, so she didn't mention leaving again.

In the following days, Yu Nuan toured Liangzhou City and found that the people here lived relatively well, and there were many merchants from other provinces. It seemed that Shen Yan was quite capable and managed Liangzhou City very well.

"Miss, look, there are many more patrolling soldiers in the city. It should be to prevent a repeat of what happened with Shen Jianbing."

"I had some misunderstandings about the Prince of Yan before, thinking that he had allowed the bullies to run rampant in the city. Now it seems that he was really unaware of it."

“Miss, it’s clear that the Prince of Yan is a good person. Look at how well he has managed Liangzhou City. Although it’s on the border, the people here are all smiles and full of life. They are clearly living a good life.”

"Hmm." Yu Nuanqing nodded. "By the way, Qingyi, how much do you know about this Prince Yan?"

Recalling the original owner's memories, it seemed there was absolutely no connection to the Prince of Yan. Perhaps the original owner was betrothed by her parents from a young age to become a concubine in the palace, and devoted herself entirely to the Emperor.

“Miss, I know very little about His Highness Prince Yan. Prince Yan led troops into battle when he was only fifteen years old. Back then, the Northern Rong people came with great force and invaded a lot of our land. It was His Highness Prince Yan who led the troops to fight and drove the Northern Rong king back to his homeland step by step. Prince Yan became famous in one battle. I heard that the reason why the emperor ascended the throne so easily was because he had this younger brother who held a lot of military power. His princes did not dare to compete with the current emperor for the throne.”

"Indeed, His Majesty was the rightful Crown Prince before, participated in politics early on, and had the full support of the Prince of Yan. The other princes had no chance of competing with him."

"Yes, after the Emperor ascended the throne, His Highness Prince Yan guarded the border and rarely returned to the capital, so I think most people don't know much about His Highness Prince Yan. It was because of His Highness Prince Yan's existence that the Northern Rong people dared not invade, and that's how the Qinghe Haiyan Kingdom came to be."

Yu Nuan and Qing Yi were walking and chatting when a sudden burst of hurried footsteps interrupted their conversation.

"The Northern Rong people are here! The Northern Rong people are attacking the city gate!"

A man was seen running quickly while shouting, as if he was alerting everyone. The people on the street seemed to be used to it. When they heard that the Northern Rong people were attacking the city gate, the small vendors quickly and orderly packed up their goods, and the people who were shopping on the street hurried home.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the streets were deserted, and the shops along the street closed one after another. Although they believed that with the Prince of Yan guarding the area, the soldiers of the Li Dynasty would not be defeated, they still closed their doors and hid in their houses just in case, so as not to cause any trouble for the guards.

"Qingyi, let's go back to the inn too."

When the innkeeper saw that Yu Nuan and the others had returned, he instructed them, "Ladies, please don't wander around during the war. Soldiers are coming and going on the streets, and it would be bad if you were accidentally injured."

"We understand, shopkeeper. Thank you for reminding us."

"No need to thank me, you are guests of my inn, this is what I should do." After saying that, the innkeeper shook his head and sighed, "Damn the Northern Rong people, they come to attack the city gate several times a year, and they fail every time, but they are still persistent."

Yu Nuan had heard that living conditions were harsh in the Northern Rong territory, so people could only survive by burning, killing, and looting.

On the city wall, Shen Yan looked down at the massive Northern Rong army and said to Qi Heng beside him, "Go and invite the Third Prince here."

"it is good."

Qi Heng placed the bound third prince on the city wall and shouted at the Northern Rong King on the seed drill chariot, "Northern Rong King, look who this is!"

Once the Northern Rong people were captured, they would inevitably be subjected to severe torture to find out their purpose. Unexpectedly, the Third Prince was a tough guy who wouldn't utter a word no matter what kind of torture was used. If it weren't for the fact that he was to be traded with the Northern Rong King, he would have been killed long ago.

Fortunately, the captured Northern Rong soldiers eventually succumbed to severe torture and confessed their purpose: they had come to retrieve the defense map of Liangzhou City. However, they were discovered by Qi Heng and his men before they even reached the agreed-upon location.

However, when Qi Heng and his men tried to further interrogate the spy who had given them the defense map, the soldiers indicated that they did not know, and only the Third Prince knew.

After Qi Heng told Shen Yan about this, the two began to investigate. There was a traitor in the army, which was a matter of safety for the army and even the people of the entire Li Dynasty.

“There aren’t many people in the army who know the deployment map. We’ll check everyone except the two of us. Qi Heng, go and arrange for someone to investigate secretly.”

"I understand, Your Highness."

Qi Heng knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately began to arrange for people to investigate. Shen Yan waved his hand and summoned the secret guards, saying, "Keep a record of the daily affairs of the people on the surveillance list without missing a moment."

The head of the secret guards took the list and left to carry out his orders.

However, before Shen Yan could find the traitor in the army, the Northern Rong King's army was already at the city gates.
