Chapter 860 She is not from Beili
Zhan Chi was stunned.
"General Zhan, Miss Ye and the others will leave the city tomorrow. Why don't you go to Xianhai Tower and inform her?" Li Mu urged.
Zhan Chi came back to his senses, a dark smile on his face as he said, "Let the little girl go back to Kyoto? Why?"
"Hmm? On what grounds? The Emperor has given his order. What grounds do you say?"
"Oh, there is no imperial edict. This general knows whether your oral instructions are true or false." Zhan Chi sneered.
"Of course it's true. How could I have the guts to falsely convey the emperor's order?" Li Mu was anxious at the time.
"How do I know if you dare? I need to ask the person who delivered the order myself."
"The people have already gone back."
"So there's no one left?"
"The secret guard who delivered the message has already gone back."
"Lord Li must have been deceived." Zhan Chi laughed.
"What?" Li Mu was confused.
"Back then, the little girl was seriously injured, Old Chen's nationality was revoked, and the emperor expelled Old Chen and the little girl. The whole Kyoto city knew about it. How could he issue such an oral order now? Lord Li must have been deceived." Although Zhan Chi did not understand the situation, he knew that the emperor's oral order was definitely not a good thing.
Could it be that he has forgotten what happened ten years ago?
"This..." Li Mu was stunned for a few seconds: "But that secret guard is indeed by the emperor's side, and he even has the emperor's gold medal."
"Has Lord Li confirmed the gold medal in his hand?" Zhan Chi asked.
Li Mu shook his head.
"Without even verifying the token, how can we be sure the other party isn't making false statements?"
"That's impossible."
"The most unlikely scenario is that the Emperor will issue an oral order for Ye Qianning to return to Kyoto."
"Why……?"
"They are not from Beili. The Emperor knows this better than anyone else. If the Emperor really wanted Ye Qianning to return to Beili, he would have issued an imperial decree, not a verbal order."
Li Mu was a little confused, and it seemed that what Zhan Chi said made some sense.
Since they are not from Beili, they are not under Beili's control. Oral instructions are of no use to outsiders.
"But……"
"Lord Li, don't worry. There are many people in the world who know how to disguise themselves. Be careful that someone might take advantage of you. Otherwise, you might die without knowing how you died." Zhan Chi interrupted him.
Li Mu shuddered all over, thinking back to the secret guard just now. He really didn't look closely, not even the token.
Tsk, it’s all my fault for being too careless.
"Lord Li, you're usually so smart, why are you so confused today? If you only knew what happened ten years ago, you'd know the Emperor wouldn't let her return to Beili so easily." Zhan Chi said, reaching out and patting Li Mu's shoulder heavily, "Use your brain a little more."
“…”
Li Mu's shoulders slumped, and he took a step back. "There is indeed something strange about this matter. I will investigate it thoroughly."
"Investigate carefully. This general is leaving first."
"Where are you going again?"
"Xianhai Tower."
“…”
Why didn’t you die in Xianhai Tower?
Zhan Chi walked out of the room, his face instantly turned cold, and his eyes became gloomy and sharp.
Calculating the time, the news of the little girl's return had been reported back to Kyoto for a long time. After learning that she was still alive, the emperor immediately sent someone to give him an oral instruction. What did he want to do?
Ever since he entered Dayu City, he wanted the little girl to go back to the capital with him. At this moment, he hoped that the little girl would never go to Beili.
Xianhai Tower.
Xianhailou has been closed since the day it was sold. The cooks, servants and the shopkeeper have a rare moment of leisure and sit on the first floor leisurely drinking tea.
The shopkeeper was cracking melon seeds and looking at the pedestrians at the door. Most of them were carrying luggage and preparing to leave the city.
