After being trapped in the Pacification Commissioner's Office for five consecutive days, Ye Wanshu finally felt relieved when she learned that Qi Yunsheng and Liu Rouer were dead.
Next, we have to find a way to escape from here.
When he was about to go out with Caiju and Qiuli to continue to observe the terrain near the mansion, he suddenly saw Gu Tingchen leading Liu Zhang in.
"Wanwan, are you tired of staying in the Pacification Commissioner's Office? Do you want to leave again?"
Gu Tingchen smiled at her gently and said, "We'll be back to Lin'an soon. Just bear with it for a few more days."
"How come, second cousin, you dealt with King Yongning so quickly?" Ye Wanshu looked at him coldly.
Gu Tingchen pursed his lips in disdain: "He is just an unpopular member of the royal family. It is not easy to deal with him."
Just as he finished speaking, a leader of the secret guards suddenly appeared at the gate of the yard.
Gu Tingchen smiled at Ye Wanshu and walked out calmly.
With Liu Zhang guarding the door, Ye Wanshu could only stand there and watch the conversation outside silently.
However, from the changes in their expressions, Ye Wanshu had already guessed what was going on. It seemed that Fu Mingchi was indeed a good swordsman.
"Young Master, Prince Yongning escaped.", the secret guard reported angrily.
Gu Tingchen was about to explode in anger when he caught a glimpse of Ye Wanshu in the courtyard. His expression darkened slightly, "What a bunch of losers! Five hundred assassins couldn't even handle a few dozen guards, and they even let him escape."
The secret guard glanced at Gu Tingchen tremblingly and said, "Our spies reported that a large number of Yuezhou troops were spotted on the border of Yuzhou and Yingzhou, gathering towards Jikang County."
"What?"
Gu Tingchen's face was filled with irritation. "Fu Mingchi is so bold as to mobilize the army without authorization. Does he want to rebel?"
Turning his head to glance at Ye Wanshu, he gave her a calm smile and quickly instructed the secret guards, "Continue to inquire and find out how many troops the Yuezhou Army has mobilized."
After saying that, he turned around and walked in with big strides.
But he was very angry at this moment. Fu Mingchi was far away in the East China Sea. It was okay that he failed to assassinate him, but how could he transfer the troops from Yingzhou to Yuzhou so quietly and quickly?
On the way here, the spy didn't find out about this.
Seeing this bastard frowning but pretending to be calm, Ye Wanshu deliberately smiled at him.
"Wanwan, cousin knows you like Yuhua Town. Let's get married here tomorrow."
Gu Tingchen's face remained expressionless as he said to her seriously, "I heard that grandma also likes this place very much. If she were still alive, she would definitely want to see us get married in Yuhua Town."
When he said this, Ye Wanshu was completely certain that it was the sharp blade she had set her eyes on that had returned.
"What, Gu Tingchen, are you scared now?" she asked provocatively with interest.
"What am I afraid of?"
Gu Tingchen curled his lips and said, "Wanwan, cousin just doesn't want you to have any mishaps. After we get married tomorrow, we will return to Lin'an the day after tomorrow. From now on, cousin will definitely treat you well. You should prepare well."
After saying this, he led Liu Zhang away in a hurry.
"Young Master, when I went to pick up my cousin, I discovered that the young princess from the Yongning Palace was living in Taowu."
Liu Zhang advised, "Now Xue Jiu and most of the troops from the Pacification Commissioner's Office have gone out to sea. To be on the safe side, it would be better to bring the little princess to the Pacification Commissioner's Office as well."
"I heard that Wanwan really likes Princess Jiahe. Things that Wanwan likes should naturally stay with her."
Gu Tingchen waved his hand and said, "Go and fetch the little princess quickly. She'll be a great companion for Wanwan on the way back to Lin'an."
"yes."
Liu Zhang responded and left.
......
Five days passed without Ye Wanshu returning, and everyone in Taowu became anxious.
"Auntie, I want to go find Sister Ye."
Fu Yunni pulled Concubine Zhang and kept begging, "Hurry up and send someone to take me to find Sister Ye."
Concubine Zhang has learned from Yan Jin that her son has secretly mobilized the Yingzhou Army, and it may not be so easy for Gu Tingchen to take his daughter-in-law away.
"Ani, be obedient. Your sister Ye will definitely come back in the next few days."
Concubine Zhang took the little guy into her arms, glanced at everyone, and patiently advised: "For now, everyone should stay in Taowu and don't let your imagination run wild."
"Auntie is right. Wanwan is Young Master Gu's cousin after all. They have no grudge against each other. Young Master will not harm Wanwan."
Chu Yin still believed Gu Tingchen on this point.
Although it is unclear what happened to the three siblings after Wanwan went to the Duke's Mansion, the concern and love that the Gu brothers showed to Wanwan in Tongyang were by no means false.
Looking at the frantic Madam Yan and the maids, she also advised, "Didn't Uncle Tian come back a few days ago and report that Young Master Gu treated Wanwan very well and even dealt with the Qi family?"
Just as Chu Yin finished speaking, she heard a series of earth-shaking sounds of iron hooves coming from all directions, followed by the sound of fierce swords clashing in the yard.
When Concubine Zhang led everyone out of the door, she saw that the Chifeng Camp and Liu Zhang's patrol camp were already facing each other with swords drawn.
"Commander Liu, you just took Miss Ye away a few days ago. Why are you here today?" Concubine Zhang glared at Liu Zhang in dissatisfaction.
Looking at Fu Yunni in her arms, Liu Zhang smiled and said, "Don't be alarmed, everyone. I mean no harm. It's just that my cousin misses Princess Jiahe, so she sent me here to fetch her."
"What a joke." Concubine Zhang's eyes darkened. "Commander Liu, do you think Yuezhou belongs to the Duke of Rong's Mansion? Do you think you can order the Princess of the Prince of Yongning's Mansion around at will?"
Liu Zhang showed impatience: "I say, you old woman, you have no right to speak here."
