After saying that, Chen Xin, like the person he pretended to be, seemed to have a bit of a brain problem and said, "Sir, can I ask you a question out of curiosity? I heard that this cannon is only found in South Vietnam. Where did the Khan find such a treasure?"
The captain, who had been treating everyone like brothers, suddenly turned serious. "This isn't something a soldier like you can know. Don't ask too many questions, and watch your tongue."
Wei Xian hurriedly nodded and admitted his mistake, "Yes, yes, yes."
After the captain left, the burly elder brother from the guard team lectured him with a look of utter stupidity: "Are you stupid? You could have said this in private, but you dared to say it out loud? If he hadn't been in a good mood today, you would have been in trouble!"
The people around him also echoed: "That's right, next time you have to be more careful with your words. It's okay to talk casually to us, but these officials are overthinking it. Don't offend them with just a few words, not to mention that you may even risk your life."
Wei Xian scratched his head, looking surprised like a fool, as if he wouldn't have noticed anything was wrong if they hadn't reminded him: "Ah, I don't know either!"
Seeing his honest appearance, the eldest brother became less wary of him: "Forget it, forget it. Remember next time, we can't casually ask these adults about our daily conversations. Something bad will happen."
"Thanks for the tip, big brother!"
Having successfully infiltrated the enemy, Chen Xin and Wei Xian, carrying the long-sought-after royal seal of Hudu and their secret weapon, accompanied the Northern Desert army to Qingliang Valley. Next, they would witness how Hudu Khan personally broke the alliance. Once this was established, it would be time to dismantle the Northern Desert from within. It would be exciting to see whether the Northern Desert, which had finally unified its various tribes, would fall apart again because of a small seal.
At the same time, the letter that Chen Xin and his companions had sent before their departure also appeared in the Qingliang Palace, led by the Black Crow Messenger. It was the fifth day since Wang Yanzhou and the Qingliang Valley army had left Qingliang Valley. It was also the time when they had fought against Tianshu Tower and achieved their first bizarre victory.
After Qiu Liang left with Wang Yanzhou and the others, Jiang Wanying took over Tang Chen's security duties. The tasks Qiu Liang normally needed to do, such as inspecting the pigeon loft three times a day, naturally fell on the shoulders of the eldest lady of Bugui Peak.
"Madam Wang, there is a letter." Jiang Wanying shook the letter in her hand and put it on the table. She then took the little kid who was unable to move and just wanted to find Sister Shuang'er to play happily from Tang Chen's arms.
Tang Chen slowly opened the letter box and asked, "No one has delivered a letter in a while. Where did you get it from?"
Jiang Wanying recalled the crow's appearance and said, "It was taken from a crow. The crow's feathers were extremely bright, more beautiful than the ones I've seen before."
When it comes to bird-raising skills, Chen Xin is one of the best, and the most beautiful one is, "Could it be from Chen Xin's side?" Thinking of this, Tang Chen couldn't help but speed up his movements.
After reading the note word for word, mentally organizing the language and making sure he hadn't misunderstood or overinterpreted it, Tang Chen's expression turned serious. Then, Tang Chen put away his serious expression, smiled, and after picking up the little boy and teasing him for a while, he said, "Nurse, take him to the Second Madam's place first. He's so restless, like he's missing something when he can't see Shuang'er for a moment."
The wet nurse also said: "Young Master also likes Miss, so I will take Young Master there first."
Tang Chen handed Wang Guiyi's toys on the table to the wet nurse and said, "Go and tell the Second Madam that we will go to her for lunch later."
"yes."
After everyone in the room had left, Tang Chen stood up and locked the door. Jiang Wanying saw Tang Chen's expression change and then became silent, and she couldn't help but feel curious about the contents of the letter she had just burned. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Tang Chen let out a long breath, leaned against the door, and said weakly, "Not only has something happened, but it's a big one. You're good at Qinggong, so please help me call Wang Qin over. As for the news from Jingji, don't let Shuyi know for the time being. I'm afraid she'll worry."
Jiang Wanying nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know my limits."
"Thank you very much."
Jiang Wanying's eyebrows curved. It was just an equal exchange. She should avoid saying thank you if possible. "Why are you being so polite? I'm not working for you for free. We agreed that you shouldn't renege on your debt. I'll remember everything."
Tang Chen couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of you, go quickly."
At this time, Wang Qin would usually take a look around the kitchen and then go to other places in the mansion to check the situation, so it didn't take long for Jiang Wanying to find the person.
When Wang Qin saw that Tang Chen asked Jiang Wanying to come to him, it was almost the same as if she came in person. He thought that something important must have happened, so he hurried over.
"Greetings, Madam. What instructions do you have?"
Tang Chen signaled him not to be too nervous and asked, "How's the situation at Caolu lately? Are they doing well?"
Wang Qin said that those people were all important people in the valley. Although he could not walk around in the thatched cottage, he would still keep a close eye on them when he had the chance. "I have sent things there a few times recently, and I have paid attention to them. There seems to be nothing wrong."
Tang Chen then asked, "Then, did Uncle Lin and the others say when they will be back?"
Wang Qin replied, "Mr. Lin said earlier that he would stay at the Zhou family for a while. What I meant was that he would come back after the Qingliang Valley incident was settled."
Tang Chen glanced at Jiang Wanying, thought for a moment, and said, "Well, you can say that it was the prince who said that he received a sudden news that Uncle Lin and Aunt Zhou were coming back. They don't like to be crowded with others, so he asked Shu Yang and Yao Chen to pack up and bring them to the palace to live for a while."
Wang Qin was slightly taken aback. Normally, according to the rules, guests like these, whose identities needed to be kept secret and who also required special protection, would be accommodated in a hot spring villa, where outsiders were not allowed to enter at will. Why was he being placed directly in the palace this time? "Madam, do you mean to arrange for him to be placed in the palace? Aren't guests like this usually accommodated in hot spring villas?"
