Zheng Quchi suddenly raised his eyes, his brows furrowed: "I have already told you the exact location of Qiu's detention, so why do you still need a map of the entire Fuxian garrison?"
Seeing her reluctant expression, Ya knew she would refuse.
Therefore, he simply laid it all out in advance: "What I do with this camp map is none of your concern, but if you refuse to agree, then you and I will have to part ways. Not only will the Mo family make things difficult for you in the future, but Yuwen Sheng will probably no longer trust you."
Zheng Quchi looked at him with a sudden, icy gaze.
She finally understood. Ya wanted her to escape the Mo family by chance one day, but he wouldn't let her associate with Yuwen Sheng and the others. He wanted to completely extinguish her desire to be under Yuwen Sheng's protection.
"Okay," she replied calmly.
Yes, there is no way to have it all. She wants to get rid of the Mo family's entanglement unscathed, but she also wants to gain the trust and protection of Yuwen Sheng of Ye Kingdom. Perhaps if she hesitates in the end, she will lose both.
She had only one choice from beginning to end.
After sending the child away, Zheng Quchi couldn't sleep. She walked silently to the top of the mountain and looked out at the forest shrouded in night. The deep darkness made her feel scared, and she was restless all night.
After waiting for two days, Zheng Quchi finally met Mu Ke. She hurriedly chased after him and asked, "Uncle Mu, did you help me deliver the letter to Brother Wei?"
As soon as she opened her mouth, she asked about this matter.
Mu Ke turned around, delighted: "Ah Qing? Oh, you mean the letter? You must have already given it to him."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Quchi's eyebrows furrowed in tension, and he asked seriously, "Uncle Mu, what do you mean by 'should'? Didn't you give him the letter?"
Seeing that her expression was not quite right, Mu Ke suppressed his smile and explained to her, "When I went there the other day, he happened to be out of the camp on business. I waited all day but did not see him. Since I had important business to attend to, I could only give the letter to the garrison commander first, and ask Wei Yao to give it to him when he returned."
I see.
“But he didn’t come to see me,” Zheng Quchi murmured.
Mu Ke hurriedly asked, "What exactly happened? Is there anything important written in this letter? Otherwise, Uncle Mu will go and ask Wei Yao on your behalf when you return to the camp whether he received the letter?"
Zheng Quchi is thinking.
If Wei Yao really received her letter, why didn't he come to see her? Was he not waiting for her to come and confirm it in person?
No, he should be able to understand her current situation and the danger she is in.
If he didn't receive the letter, what about hers?
Unable to find an answer, Zheng Quchi continued to press, "Uncle Mu, you just said you gave the letter to which garrison commander?"
"His name is Feng Qing, and he's the commander guarding the north gate. Hey, Qing, where are you going?"
Halfway through his sentence, Mu Ke saw Zheng Quchi turn around and leave. He chased after her for a few steps, but could only see her back as she ran further and further away.
"I'll be right back."
Zheng Quchi was anxious to confirm the matter, and she didn't care whether it would arouse Ya's suspicion.
If the letter ended up in Wei Yao's hands, that would be fine. But if it fell into the hands of someone else and its contents were read... She ran, but since she couldn't ride a horse, and Gui Su Ling was quite a distance from Chang Xun Po, she could only go to the warehouse to borrow a cargo horse as an emergency measure. As long as she hitched it to a cart, she could carry people...
Although it's slower than riding a horse, it's still faster than walking.
——
Changxunpo Garrison Camp
Just two days ago, at dusk, before Muke left, he handed a letter to a guard to deliver: "Remember, as soon as Guard Wei returns to camp, give this letter to him, understand?"
"I see."
As soon as Mu Ke left, Feng Qing was stopped by a gentle and clear voice: "Feng Qing, what are you doing standing there? And what are you holding in your hand?"
Feng Qing immediately turned around, only to see a woman with a fair complexion and a graceful appearance like an orchid walking towards him. When he met her stunningly beautiful eyes, his cheeks couldn't help but turn slightly red, and he had to quickly lower his head to hide it.
“Gongshu, this is a letter that Muke asked me to deliver to Wei Jinwei.”
A glint flashed in Gongshulan's eyes.
Muko?
In truth, he was just a lowly official, but she believed his identity was unclear, and he even had considerable influence in front of Yuwen Sheng and his group.
He often came to the camp, and she had seen him occasionally when she was taking a boring stroll in the camp, but he was very indifferent to her and would often leave after only a few words.
Since he can enter the garrison camp at any time, what can't he say to Wei Yao in person, instead of having to write such a letter to Wei Yao?
No matter how you look at it, there seems to be a problem here.
Ever since Yuwen Sheng warned Gongshu Lan not to interfere with the research and development of the camp's craftsmen, she could only act as an outsider, connecting with anyone she could talk to and serving as their eyes and ears.
Her freedom is limited, and the people she can contact are also limited. If she wants to get closer to Yuwen Sheng, perhaps she should start by getting to know the people around him. It would be even better if she could find some of their weaknesses and secrets to use for her own purposes.
She said gently to Qingfeng, "You seem quite busy. If you're still thinking about this while on patrol later, it might cause some delays. I happen to have important business to attend to with Guard Wei. Why don't I deliver this letter to him for you?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Qing hesitated, "This... isn't a good idea?"
"Feng Qing, don't you believe me? I just wanted to help you. You've taken such good care of me all this time, but I have nothing to repay you with. If you don't even trust me to handle something this small, then forget it."
