Chapter 973
Huo Zhao nodded: "It's the right thing to not go."
After saying that, Huo Zhao turned and left.
——
Before Huo Zhao even got home, his every move had already been reported to the Sixth Prince and his wife.
The princess consort frowned and said, "That princess from the Huo family is no ordinary person. For her to bring so many people with her on this trip, it must be something important."
The sixth prince nodded.
If he had previously looked down on Huo Zhao, thinking she was someone who was sheltered and lacked knowledge and courage, now he no longer had any such thoughts.
"Since we're transporting something... Your Highness, why don't we make arrangements tonight to go and see what it is?"
"good."
Although it wasn't as convenient for them to operate in Luoyang as it was on their own turf, the Sixth Prince himself was extremely skilled in martial arts, and he brought many skilled men with him, so going to take a look shouldn't be a problem.
Night fell quickly, and the two, along with a group of skilled fighters, set off.
However, after waiting outside the Shu residence for a long time, there was still no movement.
It wasn't until late at night that a mule cart emerged from the Shu residence.
"Being so cautious, it seems the goods being transported are not simple."
The sixth prince spoke in a deep voice.
If he had only wanted to take a look before, now the Sixth Prince intends to take action and snatch it away.
The Sixth Prince's Consort frowned and said, "Your Highness, this isn't our own territory after all. What if we give ourselves away..."
The Sixth Prince raised his chin: "Look, those are all people from the Prince's Mansion. Anything that they personally escort must be extraordinary."
“But Your Highness, we are here to negotiate peace. It is precisely because those people are from the Prince’s Mansion that we cannot take action,” said the Sixth Prince’s Consort. “Your Highness, this is Luoyang, not a battlefield. Please reconsider.”
Upon hearing the princess's words, the sixth prince's eyes flickered slightly.
He was momentarily blinded by his own emotions.
"...You're right, I misunderstood something just now."
Seeing that the Sixth Prince had finally given up, the Princess Consort breathed a sigh of relief: "However, although we can't take action, it shouldn't be a problem for us to follow him and take a look."
"Okay, let's go."
The group hid in the shadows, following the mule cart at a distance.
Although they were well concealed, the men escorting the mule carts were no pushovers either.
"Has the sixth prince gone mad? Why is he following us around so late at night instead of sleeping?"
"Who knows? They can't possibly think we're transporting something valuable and are afraid we'll sabotage them behind our backs, can they?"
The two exchanged a glance and chuckled quietly.
"Sigh, even the usually cunning Sixth Prince can be so foolish!"
I really want to see with my own eyes how interesting the Sixth Prince's expression will be when he discovers that they've been carrying a pig after following them all this way!
"Hey, do you think we should take a longer route?"
"Aren't you tired? You're so full of yourself!"
"I...am I alright?"
"...I'm fine too."
"Hehehehehehehehehe..."
The two exchanged another glance and deftly turned into a small alley.
When the Sixth Prince and his entourage saw that they had hidden themselves, they felt a pang of anxiety and quickly followed.
