Chapter 170 The Secret of Wan'an Mountain
"Later, the people from the Imperial Observatory turned the stone lamppost next to the tombstone, and the tombstone moved to the side, revealing a hole.
Looking down from the cave entrance, there seemed to be steps paved with bluestone.
We went down along the stairs. The cave was quite deep. After walking along the stairs for dozens of steps, we felt the huge space.
Then I heard someone talking in front of me and the sound of iron being hammered.
We sent our best men to sneak over first. After a cup of tea, they came back to report that there were forty or fifty people inside.
It looked like a workshop, and the people inside seemed to be forging weapons."
Having said that, Yang Jin looked up at Li Yueyao.
"As soon as I heard this, I felt that this group of people must be the Nanli spies. We are ready to advance and capture them on the spot.
I suddenly remembered that before leaving, Lord Shangshu had told me not to act rashly because they had thunder bombs.
So I followed the advice of my colleagues at the Imperial Observatory and used the aphrodisiac incense."
Li Yueyao suddenly interrupted, "Those Nanli people are the best at using drugs. I'm afraid your incense won't be able to charm everyone."
Yang Jin nodded and said, "Your Highness is right."
“The incense knocked out most of the people, but the leader was very alert.
Seeing the person in front of me suddenly fall down for no apparent reason, I immediately realized that he might have been poisoned by the incense.
So he shouted loudly, asking the remaining people to escape.
We gave chase and fought the last dozen or so.
Just when they were about to capture the man, someone suddenly took out a thunder bomb and detonated it.
The light in the cave was dim and there was little shelter, so our people quickly retreated.
But the thunder bomb was too powerful and it blew up part of the cave, trapping several of our men underneath."
Yang Jin sighed when he said this.
Feng Shenyu looked at Yang Jin and said comfortingly, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone in the Ministry of War."
Yang Jin lowered his head and waved his hand, saying, "The best outcome for soldiers is to die on the battlefield. Now that they can die for their country, it can be considered a worthy death."
Then he continued, “We have completely taken control of the cave and are searching all around it.
Finally, many prisoners were found in a nearby cave, including Huan Shaoqing.
We followed the military doctor to check and found that Huan Shaoqing's condition was not optimistic.
So I will bring Huan Shaoqing back first, and Yu Huaian will handle the aftermath later."
Li Yueyao asked, "Where's that bearded barbarian? He's the boss from Yongtongmen. Has he been caught?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness. We didn't go out through Yongtong Gate last night, but through Shangdong Gate.
The warrant presented to the city gate was for the camp outside Beijing.
Moreover, the city is under the personal command of our Lord Shangshu.
After we succeed, we will send a signal at Wan'an Mountain and the people near Yongtong Gate will go and catch the spies who have been monitoring us.
This naturally includes Boss Man, Hua Qingfeng, and the rest of the gang."
Feng Shenyu nodded after hearing this.
"Once we catch them, we'll intensify the interrogation and make sure we pry their mouths open."
Yang Jin said, "Right Prime Minister, rest assured. These people in the city must already be in the prison of our Ministry of War."
Li Yueyao added, "We've been looking for a man named Jin Yucheng. Check to see if he's among the two groups of people we've recently arrested."
"Your Highness, I will go back and intensify the investigation."
After saying this, Yang Jin prepared to get up and say goodbye.
After Yang Jin left, Li Yueyao said to Shen Zhengming:
"Don't notify Huan Shaoqing's family yet. His old lady is old and there might be an accident.
When he wakes up, I will send someone to take him back to the mansion."
"I would like to thank Your Highness on behalf of Shaoqing Huan." Shen Zhengming said.
Li Yueyao waved her hand.
Feng Shenyu said, "Although Huan Zian has been found now, we still need to continue investigating the matter in Gusu.
The headquarters of the Gusu Wang family is right there, so you people from the Dali Temple still have to go there. This time, you will be mainly responsible for investigating the illegal activities of the Wang family.
I will still write a handwritten letter to the governor of Gusu, asking him to assist your Dali Temple in handling the case.
But the mission objectives of the people you send out need to be changed, so you will be responsible for the arrangements."
Shen Zhengming agreed: "Yes."
After Shen Zhengming left, Feng Shenyu said beside him, "With such a big commotion in the capital, I'm afraid the Wang family has already received the news."
Li Yueyao thought for a moment and said, "Someone, go and ask Prince Shou'an to come over."
"I don't know if Xiaoyuer made a quick decision and controlled the person." Li Yueyao said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I've already informed him about the Ministry of War's visit to Wan'an Mountain yesterday.
The group of people in his house will definitely not be able to escape, and as for the rest, he only needs to capture Wang Lang, and the rest of the Wang family will not be able to escape either."
Li Yueyao was surprised when she heard this: "When did you arrange this? How come I didn't know about it?"
Feng Shenyu looked at Li Yueyao and smiled: "When you are resting."
"Aren't you resting with me?" Li Yueyao was puzzled.
“I slept with you. After you fell asleep, I sorted out the things and finally found this loophole.
I sent someone to inform him."
Li Yueyao nodded after hearing this, picked up the tea that she had specially made for herself on the table, and drank several sips.
Then he touched his stomach and said, "I'm hungry."
Feng Shenyu smiled, stood up and helped her walk outside.
"After such a busy morning, any normal person would be hungry, not to mention that you have a double body now, so you will get hungry even faster."
When I came out of the flower hall, the heat outside hit me in the face.
The heat seemed to form waves in the air, blowing in waves with the breeze.
The two had to avoid the sun and walk in the shade under the corridor.
"When Young Master Huan was carried in, I saw Nanny Qin had brought in some food to supplement His Highness's meal.
But I was interrupted by the situation at that time."
Li Yueyao laughed and said, "I didn't even notice."
The two of them arrived at the restaurant, and Nanny Qin quickly brought them lunch and served them while they ate.
Li Yueyao now starts to feel sleepy after eating.
I went directly to the bedroom from the restaurant. There were ice basins in the corners of the bedroom, and it felt chilly as soon as I entered.
Li Yueyao lay comfortably on her couch with a green jade mat beneath her. Even at the hot noon, she pulled the blanket from the couch over her body.
Feng Shenyu lay down with Li Yueyao.
"Your Highness, go to sleep. I'll watch you sleep."
Li Yueyao heard this and asked, "Why? You don't want to sleep?"
"I'm not too tired. I have to go see Li Huaiyu later. I'll watch you fall asleep before I leave." Feng Shenyu said with a smile.
Li Yueyao was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. She listened without saying a word and fell asleep.
Feng Shenyu was stunned for a moment when he saw Li Yueyao falling asleep in front of him.
He waited until Li Yueyao's breathing became even before he tiptoed out of the bedroom.
Coming out, Feng Shenyu looked at Cuilan at the door and said, "Send Cuiyu over."
Soon Cuilan came over with Cuiyu.
"Meet the Right Prime Minister."
"Your Highness used to take a long time to fall asleep, how come you fall asleep so quickly now?
Isn’t this a bit wrong?”
Feng Shenyu was very worried about this.
Cui Yu listened and replied respectfully: "The physical constitution of pregnant women is different from that of ordinary people. It is normal for Your Highness to be sleepy at this stage.
Imperial Physician Zhao comes to check His Highness's pulse every day. His Highness is in good health, so don't worry, Right Prime Minister."
Feng Shenyu felt relieved after hearing this.
Just then Qian Lou came over and looked at Fengshenyu and asked, "Your Highness, have you rested?"
"Yeah." Feng Shenyu replied.
"Prince Shou'an is here and in the study."
After hearing this, Feng Shenyu turned around and walked towards the study.
When he arrived at the study, Feng Shenyu saw Li Huaiyu, dressed in black and full of murderous intent.
"Did you just kill someone?" Feng Shenyu asked.
