Qin Yuan and Qin Shu left, and Kang Yueran lay in bed, unable to sleep. Chai Shijing said that Qin Shu was most like the Duke of Zhenguo, and based on her previous understanding of Qin Shu, Qin Shu seemed to be reckless in his actions, but in fact he was very well-informed.
She thought back to the conversation just now and secretly guessed that the father and daughter were here to test her today, but she was not sure.
She turned over, closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep. There was no point in thinking too much, it was better not to think!
The guards sent by Chai Shijing and Qin Shu arrived at almost the same time, but Qin Shu did not come, but Chai Shijing did.
The guards were assigned by Wang Yu, and Chai Shijing and Kang Yueran entered the room to talk.
Kang Yueran explained what happened last night. "I think it's a test, what do you think?"
“The Zhenguogong Mansion is not involved in party disputes, so it has been trusted and valued by generations of emperors. He will not easily help us. Otherwise, after my generation, the Zhenguogong Mansion will no longer be able to stay out of the fight for the throne.
But Qin Yuan still felt sorry for Qin Shu. Qin Shu was a girl, and her willingness to help you could also be considered a personal connection between you and her. If it wasn't me who won the throne in the end, Qin Yuan could just say that Qin Shu was a girl and couldn't represent the entire Zhenguo Mansion, and he could just punish her.
Kang Yueran gritted his teeth, "This old fox!"
"There are hundreds of people in the Zhenguo Mansion, plus the lieutenant generals loyal to them in the North. One careless move could put everyone's life in danger. I'm already surprised that Qin Yuan agreed to come to you with Qin Shu."
Everyone has their own difficulties, and in the final analysis, no one can blame anyone else.
Kang Yueran hugged Chai Shijing and said, "I'm leaving tomorrow."
"Well, I've already submitted the petition requesting the imperial decree for the marriage today."
"Will His Majesty disagree?"
Chai Shijing whispered in Kang Yueran's ear, "The emperor has coughed up blood. Humph! If he doesn't agree, I have plenty of time to argue with him. But he is different. If he gets angry often, his health will get worse day by day.
If he didn't want to die early, he wouldn't have stopped me. Yueran, it won't be long before we can be together."
Kang Yueran smiled as brightly as a flower and kissed Chai Shijing hard.
The day before going to Ningzhou, Kang Yueran received a letter from Chai Shijing, saying that the marriage was settled and that Ye happened to be in the capital, so he would discuss it with Ye.
There are certain regulations for a prince to marry, so what Chai Shijing and Ye discussed and decided must be the matter of the woman, Kang Yueran.
Kang Yueran couldn't stop laughing as she looked at the letter. This was somewhat like the idea of the man staying at home and the woman staying outside.
This trip to Ningzhou was even more dangerous than before, so Ma Shun was extremely careful, ensuring everything he ate, drank, and used was clean. Before setting off, he even went to the He family to ask a shipbuilder to accompany him, fearing any mishaps might arise along the way.
To his surprise, the two ships arrived at Heilongshan Wharf smoothly.
As soon as the boat stopped, two brothers from the mountain village ran over. Seeing that it was Kang Yueran's boat, they greeted them warmly and said that strangers often appeared nearby recently. They asked Kang Yueran and others to be careful.
Kang Yueran thanked the two men and then asked them to take her to the mountain village.
The three of them entered the stronghold safely, and Kang Yueran thanked him again. If he could enter the stronghold, he was not a spy.
Hua Rongyue was very happy to see her, "You are here, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"It can't be helped. We're a bit far apart. How are you guys doing lately?"
"It's not so bad. Duke Lu didn't send anyone to kill us again. But there are spies everywhere at the foot of the mountain, watching us day and night. I don't know what they are doing."
Kang Yueran looked apologetic. "The fight for the throne in the capital is getting more intense. Duke Lu is afraid that I will use you to get information from the southwest. He also knows that he can't capture your stronghold, so he has no choice but to send people to monitor your every move."
"Then what should we do? The people we sent out before can't get back any news."
Kang Yueran smiled and said, "Since we are being monitored, find a way to pass a message to them. If it's not something serious, don't contact them for the time being. Safety comes first."
"Okay! Come with me!"
The two of them walked into Hua Rongyue's room, and Hua Rongyue took out two maps she had drawn. "Last time, that person said that they had 10,000 people hiding on Yueyang Mountain. My people went to check, and they found that there are indeed people living on Yueyang Mountain. This is the topographic map around Yueyang Mountain.
This is a topographic map of Tongzi Mountain. My people found wheel tracks at the foot of Tongzi Mountain. They waited there for more than half a month and found that some people were transporting vegetables to Tongzi Mountain, and there were more than forty trucks.
In this southwest region, nearly twenty governors have pledged their allegiance to Duke Lu. Finding three among the more than two hundred mountains is simply luck."
Kang Yueran was very grateful. "I understand. The mountains in the southwest are not only numerous but also large. It is not easy to identify two places. Thank you very much."
"What are you going to do next?"
Hua Rongyue was right, but it would be too slow to keep searching. Kang Yueran bit her lip and said, "I'm going to look for Hou Zhensheng tonight."
The Hou family is not very lively during the day, and even quieter at night.
Kang Yueran, dressed in black, slipped into Hou Zhensheng's bedroom. Hou Zhensheng was sound asleep. She pulled the quilt over Hou Zhensheng's mouth and said, "Don't scream, or I'll let you go!"
Hou Zhensheng was immediately awakened. A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, but he quickly calmed down and nodded vigorously.
Kang Yueran let go, and Hou Zhensheng spoke first, "Are you the head of Anzhou, Kang Yueran?"
"Did you guess I would come?"
Hou Zhensheng hummed, "Master Kang, could you please allow me to put on my coat first?"
"Okay!" She went around to the outside of the screen and waited.
Hou Zhensheng quickly came out and said, "Master Kang, can we go to the secret room to talk?"
