Grandpa Chen was initially reluctant to accept the offer, but seeing Chu Xiao present, he smiled and said, "Chu Xiao, you go pick up Mr. Mu first. I have some personal matters to attend to."
Chu Xiao didn't ask any more questions and turned to walk outside.
However, he caught a glimpse of the ancient painting in the foreigner's hand out of the corner of his eye, and a sense of doubt crept into his mind.
Didn't Mr. Chen say that Chinese antiques shouldn't be sold abroad? Why are you cooperating with foreigners?
But now is not the time to think about these things.
Mu Zhicheng has been detained by the police for a day and a night. He must be hungry and angry. I have to go and get him out of there as soon as possible.
As he got into the car, before he could even start it, a piece of white paper floated out of the copper basin on the passenger seat.
He picked it up and saw that it was a long letter:
"Gods, Yue Zhao has successfully subdued the bandits. The bandit leader is a good friend I haven't seen for many years, and also the son of the former Minister of Personnel during the Great Gan Dynasty. I have brought him back to Liang City."
"The spy in the Liangcheng garrison has also been caught. He is the deputy general of Zheng's army. He not only told His Majesty about Yue Zhao's ability to communicate with the gods, but also informed the court that Yue Zhao was hoarding weapons and plotting a rebellion."
"His Majesty dispatched the elite cavalry with 100,000 troops to Liangcheng several days ago, intending to take over the military power of the Huo family army. Yue Zhao is unwilling to accept this."
Chu Xiao was taken aback.
One hundred thousand elite cavalrymen came to seize power?
The struggle for imperial power in ancient times was always bloody and brutal. From the Wuguan Rebellion to the Xuanwu Gate Incident, every change was a battle fought amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Qin Yue Zhao had just driven away the Northern Barbarians and hadn't even had a chance to catch her breath before someone else took away her fruits. No wonder she was upset.
After gathering his thoughts, he replied to Qin Yuezhao's message:
"Princess Yue Zhao, don't be anxious. Who is the commander who came to seize power? What is his personality like? What are his strengths and weaknesses?"
"Do you know which of his deputy commanders and soldiers have any influence?"
Liangcheng Border, General's Mansion.
The master bedroom was brightly lit, and the charcoal stove was burning brightly, but the atmosphere inside was extremely cold.
Qin Yue Zhao sat motionless at the desk, waiting for the god's reply.
Chen Wan'er walked in carrying a bowl of vegetable porridge.
"Your Highness, you haven't eaten a single grain of rice since you returned. Please have a bowl of porridge first."
Qin Yue Zhao shook her head.
"I have no appetite at all. You can eat by yourself."
Despite saying that, Chen Wan'er still placed the rice porridge in front of her.
"Your Highness, your body won't be able to take it if you don't eat, drink, or sleep like this."
"If you collapse again, how will we deal with Huangfu Shaohua when he arrives? Wouldn't that play right into some people's hands?"
Qin Yue Zhao sighed deeply.
"Then you can leave it there for now, I'll eat it later."
Just then, a soft rustling sound came from the treasure basin, and an A4 sheet of paper floated out gently.
