Chapter 55: Helpless



This must be an attempt to get more information from her and has nothing to do with anything else.

Lu Wan is the same, he thinks he is the guardian of history, but in fact many things have changed quietly...

"Look after the general first. I'm going to go out for a while."

Lu Wan gave some instructions to the maid and went out.

After arriving at the fire scene and taking a quick look at the scene, we can basically confirm that there must be an accelerant, but there is really no such thing as gasoline in this era...

What could it be? What Lu Wan didn't think of for a while, Shen Yan, who shared the idea with him, thought of it the first time.

Because of Lu Changxin, Shen Yan was also familiar with the people around him.

Liu Shen had a serious problem: alcoholism.

"Let's see when my princess can think of this."

Shen Yan didn't tell anyone about this. She wanted to see if this guy who seemed to be very knowledgeable could find out the truth about this matter.

"It's just... if it was the wine in the room, could it be that Liu Shen committed suicide?"

Logically speaking, there is a reason why Liu Shen could stay with Lu Changxin for so many years. Liu Shen himself is a top-notch fighter, and he has experienced life and death in the army before, and has many brothers who have shared life and death with him.

In this case, it is almost impossible for others to enter Liu Shen's room. Even if Liu Shen is injured, there will inevitably be sounds of fighting.

How could he not have noticed it when all his trusted aides were around? There was something wrong with this.

"Besides the burning smell in here... I know, it's the smell of alcohol!"

On the other hand, Lu Wan also discovered the mystery.

Sure enough, some fragments of ceramic jars were found in the corner of the room, which were probably the combustible materials.

But Lu Wan didn't know Liu Shen's personal habits as well as Shen Yan did, and obviously didn't immediately think of further speculation.

Almost subconsciously, Lu Wan pushed up his non-existent glasses.

"Xiao Cui, go find out if Liu Shen has offended anyone in the army."

Xiao Cui was the first person Lu Wan met here. She was a very clever girl, but she was not well-received just because she was a military student. Even though Lu Changxin usually took good care of her, her life was not very good.

This reminded Lu Wan of his past self, so he was extra nice to her. The girl was grateful and became Lu Wan's source of information.

"You don't need to ask about this. The deputy general is very popular in the army. Everyone likes him very much."

Xiao Cui said with a smile.

The reason why she had such a deep impression was mainly because Liu Shen was the only person before Lu Wan who had never discriminated against her.

"If that's the case, why is there no one to look after Liu Shen while he's recuperating? It looks like there isn't even a corpse in this room."

Lu Wan obviously didn't agree with this statement.

One of these must be false information.

Xiao Cui was someone Lu Wan had just met, so he couldn't trust her completely. However, in such a large base, Lu Wan actually had no one else he could trust.

Wait, why was her first reaction to tell that dog prince all this and ask him for help? This is not right.

However, in reality, Shen Yan, who received this idea at the same time, also felt that something was wrong. When did the relationship between the two of them get to this point?

"What she thought was indeed reasonable. There were no bodies in Liu Shen's room or even in the surrounding rooms that were affected. Something was wrong at all."

Shen Yan also realized that this matter seemed not something that Lu Wan could solve alone.

He also gradually realized that Lu Wan was not a know-it-all. She seemed to only know about events that were so big that they concerned an entire dynasty. He was helpless with such trivial matters.

"Ying, prepare the horse for me and go to the garrison again."

Chen Yan knew that it would be very risky to leave the palace again, but in the current situation, there seemed to be no other good way.

Although he is now in a high position of power, almost second only to the emperor, the young emperor is unable to control the government, and it is almost entirely controlled by the empress dowager.

If he were caught now... the consequences would be disastrous. Moreover, there are many of his private soldiers there, and any one of them would be a serious crime of treason.

Lu Changxin...you must hold on for me.

"Master, the horses are ready.

But there should be experts monitoring the vicinity of the palace now, you..."

Ying tried to dissuade Shen Yan, even though this was already against the rules.

"I know what's going on. I'll find a way to deal with the Queen Mother. Just follow her orders."

Shen Yan completely understood what Ying was worried about, in fact, this was also what he was worried about.

But the current situation is completely beyond her control, the arrow is on the string and has to be shot.

Since the Queen Mother openly sent people to monitor, she must have discovered something. Otherwise, given her character, she would have definitely made further attempts.

"Yes, sir."

After Ying received the order and withdrew, he immediately sent someone to arrange the affairs of the palace, trying his best to leave no worries for Shen Yan.

In the palace now, no one can be trusted, and Ying naturally knows this. Some things can only be done by him personally.

There was a reason why Ying had been able to stay in the palace for so many years. He quickly arranged everything, which was enough for Chen Yan to stay away for a few days.

"Master, we are ready and can set off at any time."

"Let's go now."

There is no time to lose, the Queen Mother has already discovered the clues.

It would be best if we weren't discovered, but since we've already been discovered, if we hesitate any longer, we might not only fail to save the person, but also run the risk of being exposed.

Wouldn't that be a loss of both the wife and the army? This was not the result that Shen Yan wanted. Now that he already had the advantage of Lu Wan and could predict some major events in the future, he must not let the mistakes of the previous dynasty repeat themselves.

The two of them barely wasted a minute on the road, and managed to shorten the journey time by half.

"how so?"

The scene in front of Shen Yan shocked him. The military camp that was in good order the last time he came here now seemed to have been attacked by the enemy and was in a mess.

There wasn't even a soldier in sight, the whole place was desolate.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will go and check it out."

After saying this, Ying flashed forward and found that there was no one in the nearby tents.

This time, in order to avoid the Queen Mother's surveillance, Shen Yan did not bring many people with him, so as to minimize the possibility of exposing his whereabouts.

But this also means that Shen Yan now has no one available.

"Forget it, I will go find it myself."

Seeing that the assassins had looked at multiple tents without any results, Chen Yan rushed straight to the scoring tent where Lu Changxin was.

The appearance of Lu Changxin's tent is the same because he doesn't want to be special. If he encounters an enemy attack now, it may become a protective umbrella.
