021. "How are you going to get there?"
Xu Jing smiled and said, "Fly over there."
"Don't mess around! Don't use magic recklessly in the ancient plane. If the higher-ups find out, you'll die a horrible death."
"Don't worry, the mountain man has a clever plan."
The next day, Xu Jing finished explaining everything and left. He took the customs clearance document and went to the local escort agency in disguise.
Liu San from the escort agency introduced Xu Jing to a business opportunity. "The Zhou family in the east of the city wants to escort a batch of goods to the capital. Escort Xu, are you willing to take this job?"
"Is it a lot of money?"
Liu San held up five fingers. "Count to these."
"Okay, when are we leaving?"
Liu Sandao said, "I'll leave in five days. Where can I find you then?"
"Don't bother, I'll just go to Zhou's house and meet up." Xu Jing took off his card and said, "I'm leaving first. See you later."
"Okay, go slowly on the road."
021 was dumbfounded. "Is this what you came up with? Aren't you afraid of getting robbed on the way to Beijing by taking a ride with the Zhou family?"
"With me here, they won't dare to rob." Xu Jing took out a token and waved it in front of 021. "Come on, have you bribed all the bandits along the way?"
"Otherwise, why would I go to such lengths to conquer Qingfeng Village? Isn't it just for the green card?" Xu Jing said with a smile, "They say a cunning rabbit has three burrows. It depends on whether Xie Liangchen can adapt."
"What are you trying to say to me?"
"You'll find out soon enough."
People's hearts are fickle, and some people often betray their original masters for the sake of immediate interests.
The person was talking about calamus.
Ever since moving into the Ling family, Changpu has willingly become a hardworking and dedicated wife.
Ling Yuan was a bit dull, but at least he knew how to care for others. He would do his best to satisfy her needs.
Changpu transformed from a maid in the palace into Lord Ling's wife. She felt so elated that she felt like she was in heaven without realizing it.
It would be fine if Ling Yuan was all in her heart and eyes, but human hearts are not easily satisfied.
She began to become obsessed with gold, silver, power and status.
Chang Pu was not satisfied with being the wife of the captain of the guards, she wanted something more.
So she instigated Ling Yuan to compete with Ling Xiao for credit, determined to train Ling Yuan to become a talent and make him the prince's confidant.
This alone was not enough. Upon hearing that the emperor had issued an edict to appoint Prince Qin as the crown prince, Changpu was overjoyed.
The King of Qin is now the Crown Prince, so Ling Yuan will also rise in status along with the Crown Prince, and he will also rise to prominence.
These days, countless ladies of noble birth and humble beauties have come to fawn over her. Originally content with nothing but gold and silver, Chang Pu's standards have now been raised. She despises vulgar things and has instead become fascinated by jade and night-shining pearls.
At this time, Cao Rong, the spy of Prince Chen's Mansion, came to deliver gifts.
Before coming, Cao Rong found out about Changpu's preferences and specially gave her the East China Sea Pearl.
As expected, upon hearing that someone had given the East China Sea Pearl, Changpu's eyes lit up and she hurriedly called for the servants to bring the person in.
After Cao Rong exchanged greetings with Chang Pu, she presented her with a treasure. As expected, Chang Pu couldn't let it go and couldn't take her eyes off it.
"Mrs. Ling, I have something to say but I'm not sure if I should say it or not."
"Please tell me what you want to say."
"A few days ago, my husband went to Rumeng Pavilion to drink. He saw Lord Ling pulling and tugging with a woman, whose name seemed to be Luzhu. I wonder if Madam Ling knows about this?" Cao Rong said, but her eyes were fixed on Changpu, not missing any expression on her face.
"Nonsense." Chang Pu blurted out without thinking. "He was sent out by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to do something. How could he have time to go to a brothel? Your husband must have seen it wrong."
"Maybe he's blind and really misjudged me." Cao Rong jokingly said, "I wonder when Lord Ling and his wife will have their wedding banquet. I'm looking forward to drinking in your wedding wine."
Changpu's face fell at this point. Lingyuan was good in every way, except for not giving her a formal status. She was nothing now, without a formal marriage or an engagement ceremony. She was just a nice name, Madam, but in reality, she was nothing.
Cao Rong noticed Changpu's expression was off, so she pretended to slap him in the face and said, "Look at what I said. It's really wrong. Please don't take it to heart. Lord Ling has feelings for you. Who knows, maybe we can get married in Lanzhou City in a few days when Lord Ling finishes his business and comes back."
"He won't come back!" Changpu put the Dongzhu back into the box and said angrily, "He took his troops to the capital."
"Oh?" Cao Rong asked in surprise, "Did he go to the capital with the Crown Prince to receive his reward?"
Chang Pu was not stupid either. She looked at Cao Rong sharply. "What do you want to know?"
"Mrs. Ling has misunderstood. I just feel sorry for you." Cao Rong took Changpu's hand, patted it, and sighed, "Look, a beautiful girl like you has to follow Lord Ling without any status. I feel sorry for you. If you don't get married with him in Lanzhou, what will happen if he meets a girl from another family in the capital and changes his mind?"
"He dares." Changpu's attention was immediately diverted. She said viciously, "As long as I'm here, he won't be able to marry anyone else."
"Then you better hurry up. If you're late, it will be too late."
"Vanilla, pack your bags immediately, hire a car and come with me to the capital."
Cao Rong said with a forced smile, "Then I wish you all the best."
"Okay, okay. Thank you, Sister Cao, for the reminder."
After Cao Rong left Ling Mansion, she immediately wrote a letter to Prince Chen by carrier pigeon.
Before the carrier pigeon could fly out of the city, it was shot dead by Bai Lu, an archer from the Prince of Qin's palace.
Bai Lu returned with the blood-stained carrier pigeon to report.
Xu Jing said, "Immediately notify Ning Shuo to find Ling Yuan and have him take over Ling Yuan's command. Ling Yuan should return the same way and not leak the news. Tell Xiangcao at the Ling Mansion to hold Changpu for now and don't let her out."
"Yes, I obey your command."
021 sighed, "Cao Rong never dreamed that you still had a trick up your sleeve at Ling Mansion. Her letter can't be delivered."
"Who said it can't be sent out?" Xu Jing smiled and whistled towards the sky.
A carrier pigeon flew over. Xu Jing pulled out the letter box from the blood-stained pigeon and stuffed the prepared secret letter into the box. After hanging it on the pigeon, the pigeon flew away.
021 was once again stunned by Xu Jing's outrageous actions. "What did you do?"
"I just compiled a map of our army's route for Xie Liangchen." Xu Jing said with a smile: "He is allowed to dig a hole for me, but I am not allowed to dig a hole for him?"
The route map passed through various bandit dens. If King Chen wanted to assassinate him, he would definitely set up an ambush in the bandit den marked on the route map.
The route that Cangwu and his substitute take will pass through the above-mentioned points along the way. The assassin can assassinate while busy suppressing bandits.
In this way, Xu Jing would not have to suppress bandits to gain merit when he was the crown prince.
Prince Chen can help him clean out some disgusting bandit dens. He is simply a great benefactor sent by God.
021 was speechless. "You're too mean! If Xie Liangchen knew about this, he'd be pissed to death."
