Chapter 350: Falling into a Trap
The two were so indignant that their voices were a little loud.
When Xiao Jingfan glanced over, Chen Xing and Si Yue immediately stood up straight, and Chu Liuzheng and Feng Jing also quickly stopped talking and pretended to concentrate on eating snacks.
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
Since leaving the palace, the four of them have become more and more familiar with each other and more and more unruly. They have formed a melon-eating team and can get together to chat at any time.
Seeing that the four people had behaved themselves, he withdrew his gaze and motioned Du Qian to continue.
Du Qian had nothing else to say.
Although he felt that this matter was a bit strange, there was no rule that a husband could not remarry after his first wife died, so he sent someone to investigate and after finding nothing wrong, he ignored it.
If Feng Jing hadn't suddenly interrupted him, he wouldn't have planned to say those words.
The dead are gone, but those who remain must continue to live their lives. From Master Qin's perspective, it's a good thing that he can think more positively.
Xiao Jingfan's eyes were deep and deep. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Send someone to invite Master Qin to come to the house for a chat immediately."
"Now?" Du Qian was a little surprised. "You're tired from the journey. Why don't you take a rest for a day and continue tomorrow..."
Xiao Jingfan looked up at him, with no expression on his face, but Du Qian felt a chill on his back. He immediately shut up and sent the housekeeper to call someone.
Xiao Jingfan continued to ask: "Do you know anything about that Master Liu?"
"This person is aloof and difficult to approach." Du Qian's brows unconsciously furrowed when he mentioned this Master Liu. "I have asked Master Qin to invite him twice, hoping to make friends with him, but I didn't see him."
"This man spends most of his time at the government office. He rarely visits restaurants or teahouses, let alone prostitutes. As far as I know, there are only a handful of people in the entire city who have personal connections with him."
[This label is applied to me. I'm just a homebody and don't like to socialize. How can I be considered a loner? People just like to stay home and have fun by themselves. Isn't it okay not to go out and join in the fun?]
Chu Liuzheng found the information of Master Liu in the system and couldn't help but argue for him in his heart.
Xiao Jingfan: Staying at home?
[Wow! Lord Jiang was able to kill all those Gu masters in Sishui Town thanks to the secret cooperation of Master Liu. Otherwise, given Lord Jiang's surveillance and control at the time, Yin Lanci's men would have discovered the task before it was completed.]
[What's amazing is that this guy completely cleared himself out. Yin Lanci's people didn't suspect him at all. What a talent!]
Chu Liuzheng continued to dig and found that the more he dug, the more there was.
[Tsk tsk, this guy is also a good material for being a traitor.]
On the surface, he's very obedient and cooperative, doing whatever Yin Lanci's men tell him to do. For example, he previously stopped the Jinwu Guards from seeing Lord Jiang, simply to gain their trust. In reality, he's been making subtle moves behind the scenes. Given a little more time, he'd be able to figure out where Prince Rui and Lord Jiang are being held.
If we can get in touch with this person, the tyrant will be able to deal with Yin Lanci's hidden forces in Xiancheng with much greater success.
The tyrant himself began to think about how to contact this Master Liu without alerting the enemy.
Chu Liuzheng flipped through the pages and suddenly paused.
[Frog fun! The Grand Tutor had actually discovered he was being watched long ago. He deliberately stayed in the inn and got captured, hoping to penetrate the enemy camp and rescue Prince Rui. As the saying goes, you can't get a tiger cub without diving into the tiger's den. Grand Tutor, do you think the tyrant knows you're so brave?]
Xiao Jingfan: ...Now I know.
According to the Grand Tutor's plan, the Jinwu Guards should have discovered the note he left behind on the third day after he and Marquis Wen Zhao were captured, and used the instructions on it to find where they were being held.
Unfortunately, plans can't keep up with changes. After Yin Lanci's men repeatedly brainwashed the Grand Tutor and Marquis Wen Zhao, the Grand Tutor decided to pretend to accept their brainwashing and first meet Yin Lanci, the leader of this group of traitors, to find a way to wipe them out.
Chu Liuzheng truly felt that the Grand Tutor was very brave. He was still fighting so hard despite his age, and he didn’t look like someone being chased and scratched by an orange cat at all.
She continued reading.
[Tsk tsk, the Jinwu Guards are truly pitiful. They followed the Grand Tutor's instructions, full of hope to rescue someone, only for the Grand Tutor to change his mind without a word and expose the matter to prove his true intentions of abandoning the light and joining the shadows, thereby gaining the trust of Yin Lanci's faction.]
Although those people were skeptical, they immediately moved all of their belongings and people, leaving the arriving Jinwu Guards empty-handed.
[Oh, the confused faces of the young men are simply unbearable to look at.]
Chu Liuzheng couldn't help but light some candles for the Jinwu Guard brothers who were about to turn the ground over.
Who can stand it when one of our own people turns against us?
If it weren't for the fact that Marquis Wen Zhao's spirit was about to collapse and he was planning to perish with this group of people, dragging a few more people with him before his death, the Grand Tutor would not have told him his plan.
[Marquis Wen Zhao was now like a chicken with its blood pumped up. All he could think about was catching the rebels, catching the rebels, catching the rebels, and earning merit. He actively cooperated with the Grand Tutor's actions, and he didn't even care about losing his hair.]
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
He had felt a little strange before. How could the Grand Tutor, with his cunning, be so easily taken advantage of by Yin Lanci's men? It seemed that he had really walked into a trap.
He suddenly felt that his trip was completely unnecessary.
Couldn't you have informed him in advance?
The Grand Tutor said: There is no time, let’s do it first!
On this side, Chu Liuzheng checked Yin Lanci's whereabouts.
[Let me take a look. Yin Lanci is now... Oh, we'll be able to get to Xiancheng tomorrow. I need to go to the government office first to check on the situation.]
[Hmm? What a great opportunity! Couldn't I just wait and see at the government office?]
Chu Liuzheng was cheered up, and Xiao Jingfan was also cheered up. It would be best if they could capture Yin Lanci when he was off guard.
He glanced at Chu Liuzheng and quickly told me this matter in a reasonable way!
Chu Liuzheng was just thinking about it.
[Tomorrow is a rare opportunity. If I can capture Yin Lanci, I will immediately—eh? Wait!]
She clicked on the latest news related to Yin Lanci.
Yin Lanci received a letter from a confidant via carrier pigeon and decided to change his plan. Instead of entering Xiancheng, he would go directly to Sishui Town to meet the Grand Tutor!
[Frog fun! I was actually intercepted by the Grand Tutor!]
Chu Liuzheng was upset. His plan of waiting and waiting, which had just begun to take shape, was shattered. He really wanted to let the orange cat scratch the Grand Tutor again!
Xiao Jingfan was also speechless. He had already thought about how to catch the person, but Yin Lanci couldn't come.
After returning to Beijing, he must send a few more cats to the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
The Grand Tutor, who was discussing the next plan with Marquis Wen Zhao, suddenly shuddered and had a bad premonition.
On this side, Chu Liuzheng was reading the content of the letter sent by carrier pigeon.
[No wonder Yin Lanci changed his plans. The Grand Tutor only said half of his words, which really kept people on the edge of their seats. If I were Yin Lanci, I would go see the Grand Tutor first.]
[Speaking of which, who is this master the Grand Master talks about, who knows everything about astronomy and geography, and can predict the next 500 years from now? I follow the tyrant every day, and I'm considered his confidant, so how come I had no idea he had such a formidable figure by his side?]
Xiao Jingfan: What a coincidence, I didn’t know either.
Chu Liuzheng flipped through the pages for a while but couldn't find the answer, so he had to go back and continue searching.
[Tsk tsk, Yin Lanci really has a good plan.]
