Now that Mengyue has solved the problem of transportation, she can speed up her journey. The original one-month journey will be shortened to ten days.
That is to say, ten days later, Mengyue will bring the baby back to the capital.
However, no one in the capital knew this news, and Xie Ruiyuan was not aware of it either.
What Mengyue didn't know was that her early return to the capital would cause such a shock to others and affect their arrangements.
Of course, this incident had not yet happened, and the situation in the capital was becoming increasingly tense as time went on.
Not only were there people coming and going in the three princes' palaces every day, but even in a secluded mountain a few miles away from the capital, there were carrier pigeons delivering letters.
If someone stood on the mountain and looked down, they would find an open space at a glance. Not only were there densely packed military tents, but there were also soldiers training, making it look like a military camp.
Inside the main tent, a middle-aged man with a square face and sharp eyes sat in the main seat. After reading the letter in his hand, he burst into laughter.
"General Jiang, what makes you so happy?"
"Mr. Jin, let alone me, even if you read this letter, you will definitely not remain indifferent."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man put the letter on the table. The man stood up, walked to the table and picked up the letter.
He stared at it for a whole incense stick of time, still standing there in a daze.
"What happened to Jin Xianbei? Jin Xianbei, Jin Xianbei. Do you have anything to say?"
"General Jiang, if what the letter says is true, I will leave today."
"Mr. Jin, I won't stay any longer."
"General Jiang, you also know that the eldest prince's place cannot be left unattended. I'm afraid there will be trouble."
The middle-aged man stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and nodded.
"Mr. Jin is right. So, you should leave immediately and return to the Crown Prince. Urge Shen Yu to quickly prepare the explosives as our army's trump card."
"Yes, General Jiang."
After saying that, Jin Xianbei bent down and retreated. The middle-aged man took out the letter and read it again.
"Someone come."
"General Jiang, please order us to bring Mr. Jin back."
Soon Mr. Jin came back again.
"General Jiang, why did you let someone take me back again?"
"Mr. Jin, it's like this. I've thought over and over again that it's best to prepare such a powerful weapon as explosives in the camp. If there's an accidental explosion during preparation, it will make a loud noise and attract other people's attention. You know, the Third Prince is in the capital, and General Xu will never take any chances. Only in the camp can I feel at ease and have complete control over the development of the situation."
"General Jiang is right. I overlooked it and didn't think about it that much."
"Oh, Mr. Jin, it's not your fault. You meant well."
After deciding to take Shen Yu to the military camp, Jin Xianye was in no hurry to leave. He sat down again and discussed with General Jiang how to minimize the losses and still succeed in the siege of the capital.
