Chapter 452: Walking briskly
"Have a good rest today, and win a beautiful victory tomorrow, and then we'll have a celebration banquet."
He Yanting looked at the excited people and chuckled.
Everyone laughed, complimented and made a noise for a while, and then retreated with interest.
The distance from Shengjing to the border is so far, and He Yanting rushed all the way here. He will lead the army to fight tomorrow, so he naturally needs enough time to rest. When
there was no one in the tent, He Yanting showed a trace of fatigue.
But under the fatigue, there was a deeper excitement and madness.
He had waited for this day for too long.
He once thought that he would never have the chance to stand up again and return to the battlefield.
Remembering something, He Yanting's eyes suddenly softened.
Zhiyu...
Because of her, his life was turned around.
He Yanting had been on the road for ten days, and his nerves were tense. Now that he relaxed, he suddenly realized that longing had permeated every nerve in his body.
He held the purse in front of his chest and sighed with satisfaction.
The petals that were left when he left the city had withered, and He Yanting put them in another purse.
After sitting for a while, he began to pack up.
Portraits, pendants, medicine bottles, handkerchiefs...
He Yanting nodded with satisfaction.
...
Shengjing, in the secret room of Jiang Mansion.
Song Shiwei's body was stained with blood, and his slender hands were tortured beyond recognition, but his back was as smooth as jade.
During these ten days, no matter what kind of torture he suffered, Song Shiwei did not reveal any clues about the treasure.
Jiang Zhaorong was almost going crazy: "No? Why not?!"
"Ten fingers are connected to the heart. When I pulled out her nails, wasn't her emotion the strongest?!"
Jiang Zhaorong couldn't understand why there was still no clue about the treasure after so many tortures were used on Song Shiwei.
He stared at Song Shiwei's head down, and an idea suddenly popped up in his heart.
Could it be that they are all fake?
The treasure is fake, and the letter is also fake?
No! Impossible!
The treasure is definitely real. Either I didn't hit it hard enough, or... this letter is fake!
Jiang Zhaorong picked up the letter and read it word by word.
This letter and other things were all forged by himself based on his memory. The real things are still in Jinzhou.
Could it be that emotions are just one of the conditions, and a token is also needed?
Jiang Zhaorong frowned.
Now is indeed a good opportunity to go to Jinzhou. The second prince is imprisoned, the sixth prince is also under house arrest, and Song Shiwei is in the secret room, no one will know.
He Yanting went to the border.
The emperor and Jiang Zhiyu and others should be discussing the battle against Nangong.
At this time, no one will care where he went.
Jiang Zhaorong pondered it in his heart and made a decision.
He ordered people to guard the secret room strictly, and sent Zeng Ju to guard the Jiang Mansion to make up for his merits.
He also ordered Taohong to say that anyone who came to visit should say that he went back to his hometown to visit relatives. He
also asked the emperor for a family visit leave.
In the middle of the night, one man and one horse rode away quickly.
As soon as he left Shengjing, the news from Taohong had already reached Jiang Zhiyu's table.
At that time, Jiang Kangan was discussing with Jiang Zhiyu what to do after she left the capital.
"Jiang Zhaorong left Shengjing, nominally to visit relatives, but according to her observation, it should not be the case. Moreover, Song Shiwei disappeared in the Jiang Mansion. When she knew that Xiao Yanli was under house arrest and wanted to go back to the Sixth Prince's Mansion, Taohong was sent away by Jiang Zhaorong and she has not been seen since then."
"She should have been locked up by Jiang Zhaorong."
Jiang Kangan frowned slightly: "Why did Taohong pass on the news to you? Is she reliable?"
"I made a deal with her," Jiang Zhiyu said without hiding it: "I gave her contraceptive medicine, so that she could be the only one who could give birth to Jiang Zhaorong's child, and she gave me intelligence, so that I could keep track of Jiang Zhaorong's movements at any time."
Jiang Kang'an nodded lightly: "As long as the information is reliable, Jiang Zhaorong should leave Beijing soon, and I will let Ah Fu go with him."
Jiang Zhiyu nodded: "By the way, try to tell Xiao Yanli that Song Shiwei was locked in the secret room."
Being under house arrest and surrounded by the Jinyiwei, Xiao Yanli's source of information was not so difficult to move, but compared with before, it was definitely more inconvenient.
In order to get clues about the treasure, Jiang Zhaorong must have done something to Song Shiwei, and letting Xiao Yanli rescue Song Shiwei could also stimulate them.
Jiang Kang'an nodded.
...
In the Sixth Prince's Mansion, Xiao Yanli hadn't received any news from Song Shiwei for a few days, so he thought something was wrong.
He just thought that Song Shiwei was caught by Jiang Zhaorong and locked in the room when she was sending messages or looking for clues on her own.
After hearing what his subordinate said, Xiao Yanli was stunned.
"So, more than ten days ago, Jiang Zhaorong secretly locked Song Shiwei in a secret room and tortured her?"
"Yes," the subordinate replied, "someone also saw that Jiang Zhaorong left the capital alone late last night without anyone with her."
Xiao Yanli tapped the table with his fingers.
Jiang Zhaorong would definitely not torture Song Shiwei just because she was going back to the Prince's Mansion. The only possibility is that Jiang Zhaorong wanted to get clues about the treasure from Song Shiwei, but failed.
Why did she fail?
Is it that Song Shiwei has no clues to the treasure, or is it because the clues need something else to appear?
Xiao Yanli is more inclined to the second one.
Otherwise, Jiang Zhaorong would not have to leave the capital late at night.
"Send someone to follow Jiang Zhaorong and see where he is going. In addition, send more people to Jiang's mansion to find a way to rescue him."
"Yes."
...
A few days later, everything was settled, but there was still no news from Xu Youran. Letters from
home never stopped.
Moreover, Xu Youran was surrounded by top masters, and no one was worried about her safety.
It was finally time to go to the Nanlong Camp.
The day before, Jiang Zhiyu even went to Jiang Wenjing's place. Without taking medicine, Ji Tong's recovery speed was greatly reduced, and he was still bedridden.
When he heard that Jiang Wenjing was going to the Nanlong Camp, Ji Tong's back teeth were almost broken by himself.
"Oh my, why do you look so bad?" Jiang Zhiyu sat down on the bedside: "Second brother used to say every day that if you recovered quickly, you could go with us, but now you can't even get out of bed... Tsk tsk."
Hearing this, Ji Tong looked at Jiang Wenjing, and seeing that his face was calm, he believed it a little.
Then he looked at Jiang Zhiyu fiercely.
According to his plan, during this period of time, as long as he didn't use his internal force, he would be like an ordinary person and could go to the Nanlong together!
It's all because of her!
Jiang Zhiyu sighed lightly, ignored his gaze, and waved to Bai Yan: "You look like you really want to go, why don't you let Bai Yan treat you? You can ride in a carriage for a few days, and then you can walk briskly!"
