“Everywhere was in chaos.” Xu Wanting said that when the flood came, she and her brother were on the river because they had a large boat. “There was something very strange.”
She said, "The flooding in Nanyun Kingdom was more severe than in Dayin Kingdom, but their navy was very powerful. Logically, they would have taken advantage of the fact that the southern border was undefended and attacked Dayin Kingdom to seek refuge, but they did not. Later, we sent our brothers to inquire and found out that a group of people claiming to be from Dayin Kingdom had repelled Nanyun Kingdom several times and even captured their emperor."
For some reason, Li Ruo's heart suddenly skipped a beat. "Good job catching them! Are those naval troops the army of Dayin?"
“It doesn’t seem so,” Xu Wanting said. “That’s strange. I originally wanted to go and investigate again, but my brother was worried about my safety, so he sent me here.”
After seeing Xu Wanting off, Li Ruo immediately went to find Xie Xiao.
Xie Xiao raised an eyebrow. "Haven't we seen each other for the past few days? What, you missed me?"
"Want to think about it?" Li Ruo said, "I want to borrow Fifth Master from you."
"Heh, so you're looking for another man." Xie Xiao chuckled nonchalantly. "What are you looking for him for?"
"I want him to help me investigate the newly emerged naval force in the southern border of the Great Yin Dynasty..."
Before long, the fifth leader immediately sent someone over.
Xie Xiao wanted to say something, but if it wasn't as they guessed, saying it would only increase their disappointment, so he kept quiet.

"Now?" Li Ruo was inexplicably nervous. "I have to prepare some kind of gift, right?" After all, she was his mother. "Wait for me a moment."
When Li Ruo came out of his room, she had a box of ginseng in her hand before she and Xie Xiao went to the back.
Xie Xiao smiled. "For my sake?" It seems he still holds some weight in her heart.
Li Ruo didn't answer his silly question, but asked, "How's the investigation into your brother's case going?"
Xie Xiao's eyes darkened slightly. "We'll have results soon."
Li Ruo knew he already knew what was going on, so she stopped asking.
As they were talking, they arrived at the room where Xie's mother, Madam Su, lived.
