The furnishings in the Jin Palace were the same as before. Su Lijin walked into the palace calmly and saw a small lily of the valley on the table.
Did that person get the message?
Su Lijin's previously tense heartstrings finally relaxed. After disguising herself properly, she walked into the secret passage.
A group of people dressed similarly to her were already waiting there. When they saw Su Lijin appear, they all greeted her, "Master Nano."
Su Lijin nodded slightly, and then she saw four people wearing the same jade tokens as hers on their waists. They must be the other leaders.
As expected, Ngudo and Kai did not show up.
"This is a serious matter. Send someone to urge Lords Ngudo and Kai."
She spoke indifferently, as if she was already accustomed to such things. Then she looked at the man in black beside her with lowered eyebrows and said softly, "How is the matter I asked you to investigate going?"
"Your Excellency, I haven't found anything yet."
The secret guard quickly knelt down, stole a glance at her, and then said, "It seems someone has cleared all the clues behind the deaths of Concubine Lan and Concubine Hua. I, your subordinate, can only do my best to investigate."
Who has such great ability?
She couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. In her previous life, they had been able to help that bastard Xiao Zhaolin take her away without anyone noticing. This showed the power behind it. Even they couldn't find out...
"Master Nano sent us here. What's the matter?"
Suddenly, a gloomy Mongolian voice came to her ears. Su Lijin turned her head and met a pair of cold eyes.
The man was eight feet tall, with a thumb-thick scar on his face and fierce eyes. The man following behind him looked like a pale-faced scholar, but his eyes were calculating and cold, and it was obvious that he was not a good person.
Ngudo and Kaye!
"The two adults are finally here?"
When Su Lijin saw Ngudo and Kai, a cold light flashed in her eyes, but she suppressed her murderous intent and said calmly, "I received news that the virtuous king was conspiring with the Daliang emperor to capture us all in one fell swoop, which is why they sent us to attack the Marshal's Mansion."
The other four leaders obviously did not expect this to happen and were immediately in an uproar.
Others were just wondering about the authenticity of the news, but some people were staring at her back with suspicious eyes.
When did the virtuous king ever conspire with Your Majesty?!
What's going on with this leader... This matter must be reported to His Majesty immediately so that His Majesty can make the decision!
Others were talking about it.
"The people of Daliang are truly cunning! Have we been exposed now?"
The other four leaders did not speak. They looked at Su Lijin with some surprise and speculation in their eyes. They turned their heads and looked at Engudo again, obviously waiting to see what would happen next.
Ngudo stared coldly into Su Lijin's eyes, his eyes clearly showing disbelief: "Lord Nano, why haven't we received such news?"
"I'm lurking in the palace, so I naturally have my own intelligence channels."
Su Lijin looked at him calmly, "We have been betrayed by the virtuous prince. If you don't leave with me now, you will be courting destruction! The most urgent task now is to leave this stronghold immediately."
"Your Excellency's own information channel?"
Ngudo snorted coldly, looking at her with increasingly suspicious eyes: "Your status in the palace is just a little maid, aren't you? How could you have known such a secret? I think Lady Nano has ulterior motives..."
"Who has ulterior motives?"
Su Lijin had already guessed that things might not be that simple, so she feigned extreme anger and drew the sword from the man in black, pointing it at Engudo. "As soon as I got the news, I was worried that you would be exposed, so I sent for you two, but you haven't shown up yet. Do you have any sense of solidarity as comrades? How can those personal grudges compare to the great cause of the Khan?"
Upon seeing this, Ngudo and the other two's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the hands of the followers behind them also pressed on the hilts of their swords, ready to strike.
"Don't worry, Master Nano. We understand your feelings, but it's normal for Ngudo to have objections to something like this without any evidence."
Seeing this, Siwei, who had been silent before, hurried forward to try to smooth things over: "Where did you get this information from, sir?"
"To be honest, I have always been by the Queen's side. The virtuous prince and the Queen are childhood sweethearts. I think you all know that."
Su Lijin sheathed her sword and said half-truthfully, "I heard the news in the Queen's Palace that day. They agreed to attack us today. If we don't retreat now, it will be too late!"
"I don't want to waste any more time. Those who are willing to go with me should leave immediately. If you don't want to leave, then stay here! I just hope you will remember what the Khan has instructed you to do. If anything goes wrong... don't implicate your fellow soldiers!"
The expressions of the men in black present were somewhat confused. For a moment, they couldn't figure out whether what Su Lijin said was true or false... But if it was just a matter of evacuating, it didn't seem to do any harm to them.
"Then we three brothers will listen to Master Nano."
The three leaders of the Chadu family already had a good relationship with Nano. After carefully weighing the pros and cons, they did not think that the evacuation would have much of an impact, so they were the first to stand in front of Nano.
Soon, they, Nano's men, and Swei, who had acted as a peacemaker earlier, followed Su Lijin.
Seeing this, Ngudo's face suddenly became even uglier, but he was still unwilling to give in.
"If you want to leave, then go ahead! You're playing tricks on me... this woman can't have any good intentions!"
"May the two gentlemen wish you the best."
Su Lijin ignored him and just glanced coldly at Ngudo and Kai, then led the group of men in black away towards the exit of the secret passage.
