Qin Su immediately sought out Chongyang and told him what the old woman had just said.
Chongyang immediately ordered an investigation.
Qin Su stood under the eaves, stroking her chin as she pondered something.
According to Emperor Mingyang, Yu Shuo came to Shacheng this time for the prince of Quegu, but why did he go to Huang County? Could it be that the prince is in Huang County?
It's not impossible.
Let's wait for the scouts to return before making a decision.
When Qin Su woke up, it was already the next day. She had changed into a violet short robe and wore trousers underneath. Although it didn't look like a woman's attire, it was quick and neat.
"Any news?" She called Chongyang into the room and asked Lian Tao to open the window.
Chongyang nodded heavily, "We only found that our master had appeared there. But there are no other clues."
Qin Su suppressed her anxiety, "Have the other guards not found anyone either?"
How long has it been? Why haven't they found him yet?
Qin Su rubbed her temples, feeling extremely troubled.
"No. Several of the master's bodyguards have been found one after another, but the master still has no clues."
That's strange.
Qin Su guessed that Yu Shuo had gone into hiding.
He must have his own plans, so there shouldn't be any danger.
If Yu Shuo were under someone's control, they would definitely release the news. The fact that there is no news at all is the best news.
"Are we going to Huang County next?" Lian Tao asked curiously.
Qin Su did not give an answer immediately. She looked at Chongyang and asked again, "Have you found any other clues? For example, a rather unusual person?"
Chongyang probably didn't know about Prince Quegu's affairs, and Qin Su couldn't reveal it here.
Chongyang shook his head again.
Since that's the case, Qin Su immediately decided, "Then let's go to Shacheng. Let's go to Shacheng and wait there for now."
When Qin Su left, she asked Lian Tao to leave another silver ingot. She didn't say goodbye to the old woman's family and left without a sound.
The sand city is still covered in yellow sand as always, with a unique landscape, but after looking at it for a long time, it still doesn't look very good.
Besides the endless yellow sand, there was nothing else to see in Bingjing.
Upon entering Shacheng, the guards went to find an inn first, while Qin Su led Chongyang and Lian Tao to their usual spot.
"Guest, here are your melon seeds and tea." The waiter put the items down and quickly left.
This is an inn with a fairly large area. The second floor has private dining rooms, while the main hall downstairs is where storytellers perform. The storyteller is still the same as before, and he even helped Qin Su and the others when they captured Kang Lin.
They're all old acquaintances.
After the storyteller finished telling the current story, Qin Su asked Lian Tao to deliver the reward money. Last time Qin Su came, she didn't bring Chongyang or Lian Tao with her, only Changyue accompanied her. This time, Changyue was with the Imperial Guard, and she had secretly run away, so naturally she couldn't come along.
However, Qin Su still had Lian Tao invite the person up. The storyteller's eyes darted around when he saw the reward money, and he was already thinking about how to fleece the fat sheep.
Even though he had done great things with Qin Su in the past, he still couldn't change his mercenary nature.
However, his mercenary nature became a trivial matter in the face of major issues of right and wrong.
Qin Su could forgive his minor flaws, but if it was a major problem, that was another matter.
The storyteller pushed open the door, his head bowed as if he dared not look around, but Qin Su, with his keen insight, could sense that the storyteller was quietly observing his surroundings.
Once the person approached, Qin Su spoke: "Long time no see, how have you been?"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, the storyteller immediately looked up, staring at Qin Su in disbelief.
"Miss Qin!" he called out, all the scheming and scrutiny in his eyes vanishing without a trace.
"Why is Miss Qin in Shacheng again?" He scratched the back of his head, then looked at the man standing next to Qin Su. "Did you change again? Didn't Miss Qin like the last one?"
The relatives were taken aback by the question, clearly not understanding the storyteller's meaning.
When she saw the mockery in his eyes, Qin Su understood.
It turns out this person misunderstood.
“The one who was away from Shacheng last time had important business in the capital and couldn’t come. He is my husband’s bodyguard, and he’s temporarily left with me to protect my safety.”
Qin Su offered a rare explanation.
The storyteller was taken aback. "You're already married? So fast?"
It's only been a few months? They're already married?
Qin Su smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Please sit down."
The storyteller didn't stand on ceremony and sat down opposite Qin Su. He said, "So, how should I address you now? Should I still call you Miss Qin?"
"Whatever, it won't affect anything." It's just a form of address anyway, and Qin Su didn't care much about it.
“Then let’s keep it as Miss Qin. It’s easier to say.” The storyteller poured himself a cup of tea and continued, “Speaking of which, I don’t think I’ve introduced myself to Miss Qin yet. My name is Zhuang Heyu. Zhuang means Zhuang family, and Yu means wealth and prosperity.”
Qin Su nodded and praised, "It's a good name."
"I've come here to ask Mr. Zhuang to investigate someone for me."
"Hmm? Tell me about the features." He didn't even ask Qin Su for money; the two acted like old friends.
"Help me investigate the whereabouts of Prince Chen."
Zhuang Heyu was so surprised that he dropped the melon seeds in his hand. He was stunned for a while before he said, "Your Highness Prince Chen has come to Shacheng?"
Qin Su frowned. "You don't know?"
Could it be that Yu Shuo never came to Shacheng at all? Did he go directly to Huang County?
"How much do you know about what happened in Huang County? Can you investigate?" Qin Su pressed.
“Yes, we can investigate anywhere under Shacheng’s jurisdiction. It’s just that investigations in more remote areas will be slower.” Zhuang Heyu readily agreed.
This time, I don't want money at all.
Why?
That's Prince Chen.
The heroes who have protected the city from invasion absolutely need to be protected.
He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, the brothers will do their best to investigate the matter concerning Prince Chen. Prince Chen is a hero in the hearts of everyone in Shacheng, an irreplaceable war god. We will find out the information and notify you immediately once we have any news."
Qin Su still handed over a bag, saying, "Let the brothers have something good to eat."
Hearing her say that, Zhuang Heyu felt embarrassed to refuse, but he felt that what she said sounded a bit strange.
He opened it and immediately said, "This is too much."
This is a bag of gold, but think about it, if an ordinary person were to investigate this matter, a bag of gold wouldn't be enough.
"Not much. After all, I still need to trouble Mr. Zhuang to help me investigate one more person. I don't have any definite information about this person; I can only confirm it once I find Prince Chen."
Zhuang Heyu hesitated for a moment, then cracked some melon seeds and said, "Then this is a different price. The price is clearly marked, and there's no deception."
Qin Su couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Don't worry, this is a deposit. We'll settle the rest after we find the person."
"Alright! Miss Qin is a woman of her word, and the brothers all trust you. We'll collect the first batch of information around noon."
He left with a bag of gold, leaving decisively and cleanly.
Qin Su smiled and asked Chongyang, "Do you know this person?"
