After Mao Wu thanked him and left, the middle-aged man named Chou Yi said, "Leader, the situation is quite clear now. Those new technologies that have recently emerged..."
It must be from the book that the Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince gave to the Crown Prince.
Since we can't touch the Crown Prince, we can still think of ways to deal with the Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince.
The fourth person, who had remained silent until now, a middle-aged woman dressed simply and with an ordinary face, spoke up: "The leader should make a decision as soon as possible."
Yesterday, I saw a man from Nanyue near the Fourth Prince…
Upon hearing that people from the Southern Yue had appeared by the Fourth Prince's side, the leader became anxious and ordered, "Contact those aristocratic families and tell them that we have accepted their orders."
The middle-aged woman said, "The leader is..."
The leader gave her an approving look and nodded, saying, "That's right, just as you thought."
After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, go on up now."
Yes, Father.
Yes, Father.
Yes, grandfather.
In an instant, the superior-subordinate relationship transformed into that of one of the millions of ordinary four-person families spanning three generations in the capital.
In the backyard of an ordinary grocery store in Dongshi, in a small room against the wall, five people were sitting around a wooden table with a small oil lamp lit.
On the table was a map showing the section from the new military camp to the imperial estate that Yue Fuguang had visited that day.
The man sitting at the head of the table, with a full beard and looking quite old, was none other than Songshan, the Eastern Yi prince whom Yue Fuguang had asked the system to find.
Sitting to Songshan's left was none other than his younger sister, the future Princess Yangzi of the Eastern Yi, who would have a son with Cai Bing.
She asked, "Brother, can you be sure that this thing called potato is really planted in the private fields of the Dayan Emperor?"
They had previously received information that the potatoes were planted in Xuanwei Prefecture, and they sent people over to investigate several times without success.
Just when they were about to give up, their old friend from Dongyi, their mother's lover, sent a message: find someone with reliable information on how to buy potatoes.
Unexpectedly, they obtained information about potato cultivation for only a few hundred taels of silver.
Although it's different from Xuanwei Prefecture, which they started in, after making inquiries from various sources, the news that Potato is in the Imperial Estate is 90% true.
“Yangzi, that person’s information is still reliable. Otherwise, why would my brother and I risk returning to this perilous capital city?”
What he didn't say was that the lord seemed to have sensed the danger and urgently needed the support of their Eastern Yi royal family, which was why he had sent such important information to them through various channels.
Therefore, the information he provided is likely true.
That person also knew that their Dongyi land was small and barren, and the high yield of potatoes was far more attractive to them than to other countries.
If Songshan successfully obtains the potatoes, he will be the most favored descendant of the entire Dongyi royal family by the Sun God.
The throne of the Eastern Yi will undoubtedly belong to him.
As for that person's son, Oshima, a non-pure-blooded Dongyi, he has plenty of ways to kill him!
He then turned to a man sitting opposite him who looked to be in his early twenties and dressed as an ordinary shop assistant, and said, "Goro, you tell us what's going on."
"Yes, Your Excellency Songshan. As you command, I have investigated and confirmed that there are indeed troops stationed within the imperial estate, not the guards we initially thought."
Upon hearing confirmation of the presence of troops, Matsuyama's expression turned grim. "Goro, can you confirm the exact number of troops stationed here?"
Who is the general? What is his combat strength?
The young man named Wulang shook his head. "Please forgive me, sir. I am incompetent. The imperial estate is heavily guarded, and it is strictly forbidden for unauthorized persons to approach within two miles."
I led a group of people to guard the area for half a month, and only saw a few carriages of noblemen coming and going.
We tried to get close several times without success, and even alerted the guards inside.
So... so their defenses are much tighter now!
Wulang lowered his head as he spoke, then suddenly seemed to remember something and looked up, saying, "Oh, right! Today, the young master of Dayan and a group of nobles passed through the imperial estate without being stopped."
As for the rain that fell in a certain area of the Imperial Estate, Goro felt something was a little strange, but he quickly ignored it and didn't mention it to Matsuyama.
Sitting next to Goro was a petite woman of similar age. She added, "Sir, while we were staking out the area, we unexpectedly spotted two Dayan people sneaking around and following the convoy."
Songshan became interested and immediately sat up straight, asking, "Oh, Xiaohua, do you know who they are? Were you discovered by those two?"
The woman called Xiaohua shook her head. "Your Excellency, we hid well enough that they didn't find us. Because we had a mission and were afraid of being discovered, we didn't follow them to investigate their background."
However, the two men were ordinary-looking, and their origins could not be discerned from their clothing alone.
"Who are you looking to collaborate with, brother?"
Following that esteemed Junior Tutor, it's highly likely he's not an official of the Great Yan Dynasty. If the benefits are sufficient, those people could indeed be used by them, and perhaps both sides even share the same goal.
Matsuyama nodded smugly and said, "That's right, that's exactly what I was thinking. Goro, find a way to locate them."
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
Suddenly, Songshan's smile vanished, and he sighed slightly, "That lord is afraid of being caught by their emperor, so his help to us is limited. Even the information we receive is something we have to deal with ourselves."
"Yangzi, we siblings are unfamiliar with this place. Finding help from local forces would be the best option."
"So that's why you spent a lot of money to have Wu Xiong contact Tianxing Tower, You Tan, and Feng Yu Ge?"
Songshan nodded. "Unfortunately, for some reason, both You Tan and Tianxinglou have been very cautious lately. They've been refusing to make contact, and Wuxiong is still waiting for news."
And the Wind and Rain Pavilion was nowhere to be found!
Songshan didn't know why You Tan and the assassins from Tianxing Tower had their heads tucked in; it was because he hadn't connected the lightning strike incident in the capital with another assassin organization he wanted to hire, Fengyuge.
They were unaware that their young master and all his subordinates had been captured, which proves he was right; they were indeed unfamiliar with the place!
Speaking of Fengyuge, System 07 says it has something to say.
[Host, Luo Feng and Luo Yu are both dead!]
Early in the morning, Yue Fuguang, who was taking a class at Hongwen Hall, was fast asleep. Because she was dozing off, the teacher's voice was lowered by a few decibels, which served as a perfect background noise for her to fall asleep.
Unfortunately, my peaceful dream was interrupted by the system's announcement of my impending death.
"System, aren't you a little too adept at announcing deaths?"
She's already dead, couldn't we wait until she woke up before saying anything?
"If you keep going like this, you'll become an unlucky entity!" Let's see who dares to bind to it in the future.
The system cheerfully replied, seemingly unconcerned: "Host, you need to be scientific!"
Moonlight was speechless for a moment. "We're the most feudal and superstitious people in the entire Great Yan, and you're telling me to talk about science!"
Is this a joke? No way!
The system appears to be a product of ultra-high technology from a higher dimension, but Yue Fuguang feels that the system itself is the most unscientific existence!
