Chapter 060 The Naive Little Princess
In the main tent of the temporary camp by the lake, two more people were added in addition to the old four.
Meng Jian looked embarrassed and scratched his cheek awkwardly.
"Well... I have some excellent wound medicine. You should know where it is..."
After receiving a cold glance, he immediately fell silent, pursed his lips tightly, and behaved like a child.
The atmosphere in the tent was a bit weird, because Chen Fang looked so miserable at the moment, and the armor on his body... well, if it could still be called armor.
There was a neat diagonal incision below the chest, and the entire abdomen was unprotected.
The remaining armor was tattered and in pieces, with deep, crisscrossing scratches covering its surface.
It's a miracle that I can still wear it now.
The main damage was not only to his armor, but also to his cheeks, forehead, and backs of his hands.
Although he had used his Qi to stop the bleeding, it still looked... a little too miserable.
After glaring at Meng Jian fiercely, Chen Fang turned and left without saying a word.
He said that breaking the rules was a big taboo, and he didn't want to get involved in this mess anymore.
Yinzhe stood in the middle, wearing a green robe and a veil, looking so cold that she seemed not to be from this world. Even if she did nothing, she had an invisible and powerful aura.
Of course, with the scars all over Chen Fang's body as evidence, the deterrent effect is even stronger.
Qin Zhaoqiong clasped his fists and said, "We have to take the necessary measures in this urgent situation. We have no other choice."
The Xuanji Guard is directly under the leadership of His Majesty, and it is a taboo among taboos for the royal heir to have contact with them.
If it weren't for the seriousness of the matter, Qin Zhaoqiong would not have chosen this path, as it would have adverse effects on both her and Xiaoliu.
Facing the eldest princess, Yinzhe just nodded slightly, remained silent and pretended to listen.
Qin Zhaoqiong didn't waste any words and immediately spoke:
"There's a dam made of cement in the underground cave at the flood discharge point, probably to conceal the sound of the iron smelting. Commander Meng personally witnessed the flood rushing out of the furnace..."
The fingers in his sleeves trembled slightly, and Yinzhe quickly completed all the associations. This is the basic quality of an intelligence officer.
She understood why the people in front of her had reached an agreement and taken the risk to contact Xuanji Guard.
But this does not explain the previous behavior. Is there anything that must be hidden from them and from His Majesty?
Qin Zhaoyue stood at the door of the tent, as if isolated from the conversation in front.
She quietly nudged Sui Mo beside her, then pointed at the figure in the center and murmured, "What's her strength?"
Sui Mo thought to himself, no matter how quiet he was, people would definitely hear him. As for his strength...
Meng Jian is a fifth-rank warrior, and the secret guards around him should be fourth-rank. The fact that they were able to beat him without any chance of fighting back suggests that they are most likely from the mysterious upper three realms.
Sui Mo didn't say anything, but made an "up" gesture with his fingers.
Qin Zhaoyue secretly stuck out her tongue. Judging from his figure, he doesn’t look very old. Is he already a third-grade rank?
Look at the way she acted when she appeared, she looked so cold and arrogant that she didn’t even care about the elder sister’s face.
“Many people already know that there is a cement dam underground, and it is impossible to block the news.
We decided to leave behind an official from the Tiangongsi to oversee post-disaster reconstruction and punish him by having him investigate the truth behind the dam."
Concealing the truth? Not a bad idea. Needless to say, Yinzhe knew the rest of the plan and nodded. "I already know."
Use "I" instead of "minor" or "subordinate".
"Your Highness, the Princess, the Xuanji Guard will take over the investigation."
Qin Zhaoqiong felt relieved. Disaster relief was her top priority, but the private casting of ironware could not be ignored. The best outcome was for Xuanji Guard to take over.
“In addition, we suspect this incident may be related to Chiyan County, where the next disaster relief efforts will be carried out.
If you discover anything during this period, how do you inform Xuanji Guard?"
Meng Jian's secret guards have already paid the price, and it is impossible for him to come forward every time a message is needed, so he asked this question.
Yinzhe pondered for a few breaths, then gave an unexpected suggestion, "I can arrange for one of my subordinates to join the team."
Her eyes were calm, like an ancient well without any ripples, but in fact her aura was locked on everyone present.
What is there between the two princesses, the children of the Meng family, and the Qingluan Guards that is worthy of their agreement that they must hide it from His Majesty?
This matter is a hurdle, and she also needs to investigate it thoroughly, and deploying a Xuanji Guard is a test.
Qin Zhaoqiong was stunned. He had only wanted a contact channel just in case, but the other party was so "generous"?
"Sir, the royal heir should not have any contact with the Xuanji Guards."
Yinzhe nodded in agreement, "Your Highness, as you said, we have to act swiftly in order to investigate the case.
According to known intelligence, the other party may have been dormant for seven or eight years, and no one knows how many weapons and armors they have smelted and forged.
And an unknown number of weapons and armor are lurking in the dark. What are their intentions? I believe I don't need to elaborate further."
Qin Zhaoqiong naturally understood this, otherwise she would not have taken the risk. She raised her head and looked towards the door.
The successful flood discharge and dredging were all thanks to the Sixth Sister, as was the discovery of the underground furnace.
"Zhao Yue, what do you think?"
Oh? Yinzhe turned and looked towards the door.
After following her secretly for a period of time, she naturally knew that the Sixth Princess was not as "notorious" as rumored in the capital.
Purifying water and treating critically ill patients, apart from the fact that he is lazy, is completely different from the rumors.
But now, facing such an important matter, the eldest princess was actually asking for her opinion.
The eldest princess is often in the army, and she is decisive in her actions and decisive in her actions.
It’s okay to have a distorted impression of the Sixth Princess, after all, there is not enough attention paid to her. But is it the same for the Eldest Princess?
Or is this related to something they are jointly concealing?
Die! Qin Zhaoyue instantly flashed behind Sui Mo.
How can she see it? She can't see a ghost!
"It's fine if the eldest sister makes the decision. My younger sister is not familiar with the world and doesn't understand these things."
Qin Zhaoqiong: ...
Meng Jian: ...
Broken Ink: ...
Who? Who is ignorant of the world?
Qin Zhaoqiong controlled the twitching of her cheeks.
It is no exaggeration to say that Sixth Sister can solve all the problems in Mingyan County by herself.
If other princesses and princes had this ability and made such contributions, they would definitely be written about in the books, and with a little effort they would be able to gain a good reputation and win the favor of some neutral officials.
But Zhao Yue was the only one who hid everything behind others, such as alchemists, magicians, unknown ancient books... Anyway, he always had an excuse.
Qin Zhaoqiong had to guess that there was no other way to find such a solution.
Did she really mean what she said when she presented it to the Imperial Study? Did she really not have any desire for the throne?
"Your Highness?" Yinzhe had turned around and faced the eldest princess again.
Since the sixth sister did not express any objection, and this matter was indeed too important, Qin Zhaoqiong nodded and agreed.
"How does the Xuanji Guard plan to join the disaster relief team?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I have my own plans."
Having achieved his goal, Yinzhe nodded and left, but when he lifted the curtain, he glanced at the Sixth Princess beside him again.
Qin Zhaoyue still hid behind Suimo and took her away for a while before speaking.
"Sui Mo, why do I feel like she's looking at me with ill intentions?
Is she trying to target me? My small body can’t handle it.”
Sui Mo, who was still being held in front of him by his arm, said: ...
She really wanted to say: How do you know that my small body can withstand it?
