Chapter 316 Mu Yihan's plan failed
On the corner of West Street in Yuncheng, there is a small and inconspicuous inn.
The signboard at the door has been missing for a long time, revealing traces of being patched with paste.
People come and go, and when they pass by here, they are too lazy to take a look, but they never thought that this place has been bought and changed hands.
Now living here is the most noble person in Nanji Kingdom!
Mu Yihan and Ali, the master and servant, have bought the inn for several days and rested here for a long time.
The black armored soldiers who came to report all lowered their heads and followed Ali into the inn.
When the door was gently knocked, the sound of fiddling with a teacup came from a room on the second floor facing the street.
Mu Yihan sniffed the tea in the cup, then stared at the door and spoke.
"Come in!"
After receiving the order, Ah Li responded and led the people in.
"Greetings to the Grand Master." Seven or eight black-armored soldiers knelt on the ground to salute, holding their breath nervously.
Mu Yihan glanced at them and said in a light tone, "You came so late, and there are no signs of fighting on your body. So, it seems that the mission assigned to you this time must have failed."
The black-armored soldiers suddenly felt sweat pouring down their backs.
They knelt on the ground, their throats tightened. "Master Imperial Master is very good at predicting things. We, your subordinates, really failed to accomplish our mission."
Mu Yihan played with the teacup. "Well, what do you mean?"
"After receiving the order from you and Elder Song, your subordinates took the fake military token and passed through the north gate of the capital city. They came to the direction of Yuncheng with great fanfare."
"But no one robbed us on the way."
"We even took a few detours outside the city, but nothing happened. It seems that the thieves you want to catch are not interested in the military tokens. This plan... failed to lure them into the trap." One of the black-armored soldiers replied in a serious tone.
Hearing this, Mu Yihan paused, and his narrow and deep eyes narrowed, revealing a bit of thought.
A Li on the side was confused and touched his chin.
The Imperial Master has been away from the capital for a long time, and now he needs to dispatch troops. You haven't been fooled?
Impossible!
This matter is a long story, but it all starts from the secret letter that Old Song suddenly sent to Mu Yihan seven days ago. There has
always been a lot of intrigue in the court and the country. Although Mu Yihan has dealt with many officials from the six ministries, he has never been able to find out the black hand that controls the six ministries behind the scenes.
And during this period, Mu Yihan has been staying in Yuncheng for a long time, although it is to find out the mystery of flesh and blood.
But at the same time, he has a hidden purpose.
That is to deliberately stay away from the capital to test whether the black hand that has been hiding in the dark for a long time will take the opportunity to make trouble and show its tail.
There is no Imperial Master in the capital, and the little emperor is a useless little puppet.
If the person behind the scenes is really unrepentant, he will definitely take this opportunity to stir up some trouble.
Sure enough, not long ago, the news of the riot in the southern border army suddenly reached the court.
The main general and deputy general of the garrison, as well as the captains and several cavalry captains, all died inexplicably in the camp.
The army was really panicked, and without a backbone, it was in chaos, so they wrote a letter to the court to ask them to send someone with a military token as soon as possible to take over and appease the army.
At this juncture, the military token was suddenly used, which must be a trick.
Old Song felt that the time had come, and hurriedly sent a secret letter to Yuncheng. Mu Yihan then made a plan and planned to come up with a sleight of hand.
On one hand, he asked Old Song to send Qingxuan to dress up and go south first, then go to Yuncheng to deliver the real military token to him.
On the other hand, he ordered the Black Armored Army to take a fake military token, attract attention, and then go straight to Yuncheng.
Just to catch the person who wants to seize the military token, and then follow the clues to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Logically speaking, no matter whether the turmoil in the southern army is controlled by the black hand, since they know that the military token will leave the capital, they will definitely send someone to snatch it, and they will not refuse." Ali couldn't figure it out, so he stepped forward and asked.
Mu Yihan turned his eyes and suddenly put down the teacup, "Unless... there is another possibility."
"What else can it be?" Ali and the Black Armored Army looked at him in unison.
Mu Yihan narrowed his eyes helplessly, "They were hooked, but they chased the wrong person!"
