Chapter 608 It’s Too Late



"What special force?"

Qian Jue looked puzzled, and the big man explained, "I heard this when I went to the place where the mission was delivered. That person just happened to take the mission, which was to kidnap people with good skills and turn them into immortal special forces for the superiors."

"It seems that the target of that person's mission is a general."

As soon as these words came out, Yu Yiluo subconsciously thought of Jin Ting'an who went to Qiang State. She stood up and said, "Cousin, come with me."

Qian Jue stood up and followed Yu Yiluo.

"Are you worried that the general they're talking about is General Jin?"

Yu Yiluo nodded. "Get out some paper and pen. Write a letter to the Crown Prince asking if my uncle has returned to the capital from Qiang. Also write down what happened here and ask them to be extra careful and take precautions."

Qian Jue did as he was told. After writing the letter, Yu Yiluo called a large bird, rolled up the note and tied it to the bird's legs. Only then did the bird deliver the letter.

After the two finished everything, they walked back to Mu Xue. Several big men had already vomited blood and died, lying on the ground.

Mu Xue told them the news they later found out and comforted Yu Yiluo.

"Luo'er, don't worry. General Jin is brave and good at fighting, and with Princess Xitong accompanying him, there's no danger."

"I have already sent a letter to ask if my uncle has returned to Beijing. If he has, then this matter about my uncle is just speculation."

Yu Yiluo looked at the pale Third Prince and said with pursed lips, "We gained nothing by going to Li Country."

The third prince reached out to hold her hand, a relieved smile appearing on his pale face.

"Royal brother is fine, Luo'er don't worry."

Feeling the coldness of his fingertips, Yu Yiluo walked closer to him, "You're still being stubborn, your hands are so cold, we're late."

"It's not too late, isn't it okay?"

The Third Prince raised his hand and touched her head with his other hand. "Royal brother, you're really alright. Luo'er has resolved the Li Kingdom issue so quickly and returned. That's already impressive."

"I know everything. The Empress's sister-in-law uses wild beasts to test medicine every day, so she must have been injured. Rest well today. Tomorrow I will be with the Empress's sister-in-law, so that the wild beasts will not hurt her."

The Third Prince and Mu Xue looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Night falls.

Yu Yiluo and Mu Xue went to sleep in the simple straw hut they built. Mu Xue was worried that Yu Yiluo would not be used to the sleep, so she took out all the clothes she brought to cushion her and gave her all the blankets.

"I'm fine."

Yu Yiluo moved to Mu Xue's side and said softly, "Third Sister-in-law, let me help you apply the medicine."

Mu Xue was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Yu Yiluo's big, dark eyes and smiled.

"Luo'er, take a rest quickly. I'm not injured."

Knowing that she was still being stubborn, Yu Yiluo raised her hand and touched her back. Mu Xue frowned as she felt the pain.

"Don't be so stubborn. You don't even dare to sleep on your back."

Seeing that Yu Yiluo already knew, Mu Xue sat up.

There were indeed too many wounds on her back. She had originally planned to apply medicine, but she was worried that Yu Yiluo would scare her, so she didn't apply it. She didn't expect Yu Yiluo to know everything.

"Third sister-in-law, please take off your clothes quickly so that you can rest after applying the medicine."

Yu Yiluo urged Mu Xue, and Mu Xue undressed at her urging.

The scars on the back crisscrossed each other, looking particularly prominent against the snow-white back.

Yu Yiluo clumsily applied the medicine to Mu Xue and frowned, "Why is the injury so serious?"

Mu Xue put on her coat and whispered, "I originally prepared a lot of medicine to deal with these beasts, but I was worried that the medicine would affect the effect of the Yanling Grass on them, so I didn't dare to use it."

"Luo'er, don't tell your royal brother."

If His Highness knew that she had so many injuries, he would definitely give up.

at the same time.

In the palace, the emperor's face changed drastically after reading the contents of the secret letter sent from Yueqing.

Li Yunhe stood below and knew from the emperor's expression that this matter was of no trivial importance.

The emperor slammed the secret letter on the table and looked at Li Yunhe.

"Something happened at the Yueqing gold mine."

No wonder the gold hasn't been shipped to the capital yet, something went wrong."

He handed the letter to Li Yunhe. After reading it, Li Yunhe bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. General Jin has gone to Qiang Country and has not returned yet. The matter of the Yueqing gold mine can be handed over to me."

The emperor rubbed his brows and said, "Early tomorrow morning, you will secretly set off for Yueqing to see if the person in charge of the Yueqing gold mine and Jin Ming have really rebelled."

The secret letter said that the two secretly transferred all the gold nuggets extracted from the Yueqing gold mine to other places.

Jin Ming is Jin Ting'an's confidant, it is impossible for him to betray him for no reason. There must be some hidden story behind it.

"I obey the order."

"Be careful on your way."

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely find out the truth behind this."

He paused and looked at the emperor.

"I wonder if there's any movement across the border?"

The emperor shook his head. "Everything is normal. Do you think this is related to those who were expelled from the border?"

"The gold refined from the Yueqing gold mine is shipped to the capital every three months. This is a considerable sum. Therefore, whoever took this gold must have intended to use it to start a rebellion."

The emperor pondered for a moment, tapping the table. "That's why I'm willing to risk exposure and transport this batch of gold."

"That's right, so maybe the business as usual at the border is just an illusion."

"I will order the soldiers at the border to investigate this matter."

Li Yunhe sighed, "Your Majesty, it's too late."

It would take some time to send the order from here to the border. If it was true as he guessed, those people would have controlled the border by the time they transported the gold from Yueqing.

Because they knew that once the loss of the Yueqing gold was exposed, the emperor would send someone to investigate.
