This is really a big secret.
Mengjiatun has so many people here, it must have taken a lot of effort.
After learning the specific number of people and their location, Jiang Tuantuan took Li Jingchen back.
Li Jingchen asked: "What did you see?"
"The news is too important, let's go back and tell it."
"good."
As luck would have it, as they were walking, they heard footsteps in front of them. How could someone come to this desolate mountain? The two of them immediately realized that something was wrong. These must be people sent by the Meng family to patrol.
We can't let them find out.
Especially Li Jingchen, he is the deputy general of our dynasty, and many people know his face. So once he is discovered, everything will be exposed.
Jiang Tuantuan immediately asked Li Jingchen to go in another direction, and she stayed behind to divert their attention.
Li Jingchen disagreed, "This is too risky. What if something goes wrong with you? I will suffer for the rest of my life."
"No, if we are discovered, all our efforts will be in vain."
"Just discover it. Even if the emperor changes, he is not as important as you."
Jiang Tuantuan's eyes were filled with tears. "Alright, hurry up and leave. I have a way to deal with them. You have to trust me!"
After saying that, Jiang Tuantuan pushed Li Jingchen away and walked towards the source of the footsteps. Li Jingchen saw this and could only walk to the other side.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. The three patrolmen seemed to have heard the sound and quickened their pace towards Jiang Tuantuan.
At this time, Jiang Tuantuan immediately took out a bamboo basket and a small hoe from the space, then squatted on the ground and began to pull weeds. When the three patrolmen arrived, Jiang Tuantuan had already picked half a basket of weeds.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" The three patrolmen asked loudly after seeing Jiang Tuantuan.
"Huh? What's wrong? You can't pick the grass here."
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Tuantuan stood up with a hoe in hand, looked at the three of them innocently, and said, "I came to the mountain to look for weeds and herbs to sell to supplement my family's income. I've never been to this mountain before, and the grass is so lush, so I came here."
The patrol leader took a look at the bamboo basket. There was indeed some grass inside, but he still asked cautiously, "What are the names of these grasses?"
This was a very pointed question. Jiang Tuantuan was very familiar with these grasses. After all, he had collected them all himself. He took these grasses and started explaining them one by one on the spot, speaking very clearly.
"My family has been picking these grasses and selling them for money since I was a child, so I know a lot about them."
Seeing that Jiang Tuantuan seemed genuinely interested in picking grass, the patrolman let her go. But he still warned her, "Don't come here to pick grass again."
Jiang Tuantuan looked at the three of them with pretended fear and immediately said, "Okay, I won't come again."
He carried a bamboo basket on his back and took a hoe and left.
After Jiang Tuantuan left, one of the patrol officers said, "Is this young lady really okay?"
"I don't think so. You see, she knows all about the uses of these herbs. And why would the royal family send a young lady to investigate? She must have found this place while looking for wild herbs. Okay, stop thinking about it and let's continue."
But that person still had some doubts in his mind. If they really needed to rely on finding wild grass to sell to supplement the family income, then why did she have such delicate skin and tender flesh, and the clothes she wore did not look like those of a poor family, but rather those of a wealthy family. But since the leader said it was okay, then he would just assume it was okay.
He patted his cheek and threw the doubt out of his mind.
Jiang Tuantuan escaped the disaster successfully.
Li Jingchen waited for a long time at the foot of the mountain, but Jiang Tuantuan didn't come back. He was extremely anxious and had already planned to go back to the palace to report to the emperor and lead troops to encircle and suppress him.
"Li Jingchen, I'm back!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Li Jingchen's nervous heart finally calmed down, "I was scared to death, let's go home quickly."
"good."
After returning home, Jiang Tuantuan told Li Jingchen how he escaped from danger, and said in a very arrogant manner, "Isn't your wife very powerful?"
Li Jingchen kept silent and swore in his heart that he would never tell Tuantuan about anything again. It was really too dangerous.
Seeing that Li Jingchen ignored her, Jiang Tuantuan also felt bored. "Do you want to know what I saw?"
"think."
"Then smile and I'll tell you."
Li Jingchen used two fingers to lift the corners of his mouth and pretended to smile.
"Oh, you've been laughed at. It's really ugly. I saw that there were about fifteen households in the village. There were no elderly or children. They would cook the food that was delivered, and then..."
After listening to this, Li Jingchen's expression immediately became serious. I am going to the palace now to report this matter to His Majesty. Tuantuan, you have done a great contribution!
"Okay, let's finish lunch first, and then I'll go to the palace with you. I want to find Mingman."
After they quickly finished their lunch, they packed their luggage and got on a carriage to go to the palace.
After arriving at the palace, the two separated, one went to find His Majesty and the other went to find Mingman.
Li Jingchen arrived at the emperor's palace first. When the emperor heard that he was coming, he immediately put down his work and asked everyone to leave.
"Tell me, what did you find out?"
"My wife and I went to investigate and discovered a small village there, dedicated to cooking for the soldiers hidden behind. There were about two thousand soldiers, and their weapons were also stored nearby. The area is deep in the mountains, so it would be difficult to find without a large-scale patrol."
After hearing this, the emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "What a bold family the Meng family is! They actually dare to raise private soldiers around the capital."
"Okay, wait until tomorrow night, and you will lead your troops to wipe out all those people. Kill them by surprise. There must not be any mistakes."
"yes."
After Jiang Tuantuan arrived at Mingman's palace, Mingman went to the palace gate to greet her. "Tuantuan, you're finally here. I've been so nervous these past few days that I haven't been able to sleep well."
"Relax, this birthday is also your coming-of-age day, which is a big happy event!"
After they talked for a while, Mingman asked Jiang Tuantuan to help her choose the jewelry to wear on the day of the banquet.
Jiang Tuantuan didn't leave until the sun was about to set.
When they reached the palace gate, they saw Li Jingchen waiting there. "You've been waiting for a long time. Let's go home."
The setting sun shines on Jiang Tuantuan's face, looking so beautiful and warm.
On the way back, Li Jingchen said, "Tuantuan, I want to stay with you like this forever. I really hope time will stop at this moment."
Jiang Tuantuan immediately realized that something had happened, otherwise he would not have made such an inexplicable exclamation.
But Jiang Tuantuan didn't ask, she planned to wait quietly.
