Su Qinghe counted that there were more people in this tent than they were, about twenty people.
She quietly slipped out, and after exploring the entire left side, she confirmed that there were eight tents in total, including the two on their side.
Roughly calculated, there are about 160 people, which means that five or six nearby prefectures and counties may have already been controlled.
Su Qinghe's expression darkened. She had now figured out the entire camp. If the number of people in each small tent was the same, then there were about 30,000 elite soldiers stationed here, which was no small number.
Su Qinghe racked her brains for a solution, hiding and sneaking around until she quickly returned to her tent and lay down.
Soon after, the patrol arrived on time. This time, the two guards outside were severely scolded and punished with military rods.
Su Qinghe blanked out her mind and quickly fell asleep.
The next day.
Su Qinghe took the opportunity to strike up a conversation with Qin Anmin and explained the situation at the camp.
"I'll try to get alone with Luo Pinzheng later, and then I'll threaten her to let me out. Sister Qin's identity is special, so I can't take you with me."
“That person probably won’t entrust the rest of the matter to Luo Pinzheng alone. Our families won’t stay hidden in Lingyan Temple forever. On the day of Jingtian, they will definitely send someone to transport them elsewhere.”
Su Qinghe would glance at Qin Anmin's expression after each sentence to make sure she had no objections before continuing.
"And our goal is to capture this person."
"Sister Qin is the captain of Tianhe County. If the people who come see that you are not here, they will definitely become suspicious. So, Sister Qin, you have to keep things stable while I am away."
Qin Anmin nodded solemnly. "Don't worry, sister-in-law."
Then, looking at Su Qinghe, she felt a little worried.
"Even if you manage to get her to release you, she'll definitely be on guard afterward. She might even send a message to her master. Do you think we'll still be able to catch her then?"
Upon hearing this, Su Qinghe smiled mysteriously, "She won't tell."
“She would poison us to threaten us, so of course I would poison her too. She was already poisoned in that pavilion.”
Qin Anmin suddenly realized and gave Su Qinghe a thumbs up. "Sister-in-law, you are truly prescient."
As she spoke, she leaned close to Su Qinghe's ear.
"There's a hidden compartment under the chair in my study, containing tokens for troop deployment. You can decide what to do with them yourself."
Upon hearing this, Su Qinghe raised an eyebrow and looked at Qin Anmin with surprise.
Is that something you can just casually talk about?
"How many troops do you have?" Su Qinghe looked at her seriously.
Having something is better than having nothing; it makes things much easier for her.
As she looked at him, Qin Anmin silently raised a fist.
Su Qinghe blurted out, "Ten thousand? That's enough."
Qin Anmin shook his head in disdain.
"Ten thousand? What are you thinking, sister-in-law? Of course it's fifty thousand!"
"Fifty thousand?" Su Qinghe was genuinely surprised.
"Tianhe County is such a small county town, how can it support so many soldiers?"
Qin Anmin looked at her strangely, "Sister-in-law, you're so smart, how could you not think of this?"
"Because of Ziyun Ridge, Tianhe County is the best-defended city in our Dawu territory, comparable to the last line of defense. Of course His Majesty values it and it is not surprising that he keeps these soldiers."
Su Qinghe smiled awkwardly; it was her fault for not being aware of the country's military defense situation.
In that case, the 30,000 elite troops in the camp would be no threat.
Su Qinghe's mood instantly improved, and she patted Qin Anmin's arm heavily.
"Then it's settled. Take care, Sister Qin!"
"Take care!" Qin Anmin said solemnly.
Without further hesitation, Su Qinghe turned around and walked towards the person in charge.
They were out for some fresh air after dinner, and Luo Pin was nowhere to be found.
Su Qinghe stopped directly in front of that person.
Seeing that Su Qinghe wasn't leaving, the man asked coldly, "What is it?"
Su Qinghe looked very cautious.
"My lord, I have important matters to discuss with Lady Luo, and I would be grateful if you could take me to see her."
The man remained unmoved. "Lord Luo is taking a nap. We can discuss seeing him after dinner."
Su Qinghe looked troubled. "This matter is of great importance to Lord Luo, and it is related to the Pregnancy Fruit. I wonder if you have heard Lord Luo mention it before?"
Su Qinghe looked at her with a puzzled expression, as if she was wondering what her status was with Luo Pinzheng.
The man's expression stiffened, and he coughed awkwardly. "I have indeed heard Lord Luo mention it. Please come with me."
As she spoke, she waved to a soldier beside her. "Get them all in the tents."
After saying that, she glanced at Su Qinghe. "Come with me."
Su Qinghe smiled and nodded, following behind the man at a leisurely pace.
Su Qinghe knew the way very well; they were just a short distance ahead when they reached the main tent, which was Luo Pinzheng's residence.
Upon arriving at the main tent, the man was stopped by the guards. After explaining his purpose, Su Qinghe was allowed to enter.
Seeing Luo Pinzheng getting dressed, Su Qinghe cupped her hands in greeting. "Lord Luo."
"Hmm." Luo Pinzheng responded arrogantly, and only looked up at Su Qinghe after he had straightened his robes.
"I heard you wanted to talk to me about pregnancy?"
Luo Pinzheng was in a good mood. Originally, she wanted to wait until Su Qinghe had control over her husband and children before asking her to reveal the location of the Pregnancy Fruit Tree. Unexpectedly, Su Qinghe came over on her own initiative.
Su Qinghe's face was full of flattery.
"Yes, now that I'm serving you, it's only right that I give you such a good thing. I just hope that Lord Luo can put in a good word for me with the official behind you."
