The first move was a great success! Prince Chun was so frightened that his soul flew out of his body.
Yan Shiyue turned around suddenly and hid beside him in fear: "Grandpa! There's someone!"
But he pinched him hard.
No matter how much, Prince Chun had been involved in the court, he came to his senses immediately, and according to his previous behavior, he pulled her back and said, "Who is it!" Then he looked at his shadow.
Yan Shiyue understood and said in a trembling voice: "Grandpa, don't be afraid, Daddy said, sons, sons don't talk about strange things!"
She immediately asked, "Who are you? What do you want to do by playing tricks on me?"
He looks fierce on the outside but is actually a coward, and he acted the role very well.
The middle-aged man had been staring at the two of them closely, the cautious look in his eyes slowly fading away, and he laughed: "I thought you were ghosts, you scared me!"
He took a step forward and asked casually, "What are you doing?"
Yan Shiyue still hid behind Prince Chun and whispered back, "What does it have to do with you?"
...
...
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I often go around the mountains. I can help you find whatever you want."
"real?"
The middle-aged man nodded, and she immediately walked up to him: "We need to find fresh Jin Kui Lian to make the medicine!"
Watching her go by, Prince Chun's heart was in suspense. He frowned and said, "Lan'er!"
Yan Shiyue turned around and smiled, "It's okay, Grandpa!"
She looked up at the middle-aged man and said, "If you help us find it, we can give you money...it's better than hunting! Really!"
"Really?" the man asked, "How much silver can you give?"
Yan Shiyue deliberately looked at his expression and asked tentatively: "One... two taels! If you can find one, I'll give you two taels of silver!"
The man said, "So many? Great!"
Then he casually asked, "What are you doing?"
Yan Shiyue showed a sad look: "My grandma was bitten by a snake. They said that we need fresh golden lotus."
Even if you look closely at the makeup on her face, you can only see that her eyebrows are painted on, but they are covered by her messy hair. Mainly, she looks like a silly country girl, and she acted the role so well that the other party gradually dispelled his doubts.
Then he actually accompanied her to find a golden lotus, and then the two of them went their separate ways.
Yan Shiyue continued acting all the way to the town, and only went back after making sure that no one was following them. As soon as they entered the door, both of them felt a little weak in the legs and collapsed into their chairs.
The fifth prince was startled by the two of them, "What happened? Why are you like this?"
Wei Xin and the other person were busy pouring tea. Yan Shiyue drank half of it, holding the cup with both hands, and said, "That place must be underground. His skin looks like it hasn't seen the sun for a long time!"
"Well," Prince Chun said, "his skin does look a little pale."
Yan Shiyue said: "Where we met him, there must be an entrance! Or it must be very close to the entrance! That's why he came out, and he has been quietly leading us out!"
"Well," Prince Chun said, "We looked around that day, and he must have seen it, so he tricked us right away."
He pressed his chest and said, "Prime Minister, you must never do this again! I am so scared that I am almost dead."
She despised him: "You are so timid."
He said, "The Prime Minister's hands are also very cold."
"So what?" she said, "I'm still young, of course I can be afraid."
Prince Chun said silently: "Your humble servant...I am of low rank."
The Fifth Prince looked at this and that. After not seeing each other for a day, Prince Chun became bolder and dared to talk back...
It was not until after dinner that the two gradually recovered.
Prince Chun said, "Even if we rush to deliver the fire-breathing gourd from the capital, it will still take several days. Besides, what if those people are underground?"
Yan Shiyue said: "Wait for the news from Shadow Guard first, we have to know ourselves and our enemies!"
Speak of the devil, and he will appear. The shadow guard searched all over the town and found two shops that were a little unusual. Looking at the rice and flour receipts in the shops, there were indeed a lot, which did not seem like the normal sales volume in the town.
The shadow guard copied the account book for half a year. Yan Shiyue calculated it carefully and said in astonishment: "Based on Jiahe's appetite, there are at least dozens of people. Well, there should be about eighty to a hundred people."
Prince Chun was concerned about another point: "They come down the mountain to buy things every ten days or so, always in the middle of the night. Right now... in four or five days, they will be almost there."
Yan Shiyue said, "How about this, we first ask the palace soldiers to come and perform a play, go up the mountain again, then go down the mountain, and then post a notice to say that the person we are looking for is the one who killed Prince Yu."
"Well," Prince Chun pondered, "then the other party should not be suspicious."
The fifth prince asked, "Will they send such a person?"
"It's possible," Yan Shiyue said, "You know, the person who is sent here is a witness, but he will also die. If they send him here, it means they have someone among us who knows that I like to be serious. Then we can leave. Then pretend to leave and talk about it later."
"I know!" The fifth prince answered quickly, "Then wait until they come down the mountain to buy things, and then surprise them! Right!"
"Yes." Yan Shiyue said: "But what if the other party doesn't send such a person?"
The fifth prince said, "Then we can leave. Doesn't that mean the other party doesn't know that you are a serious person?"
Yan Shiyue looked distressed: "I didn't expect you to be such a little brother! My Yan Qingtian's reputation has been ruined by your words!"
The fifth prince held his forehead and said, "So? What's Yan Qingtian's idea?"
"It's very simple!" Yan Shiyue said: "If they don't send us, we can do it ourselves! We can just find someone to come, no matter if they pretend to report the news or say something, and then we can leave!"
The fifth prince clapped his hands exaggeratedly and said, "Ah, Yan Qingtian is really smart!"
Yan Shiyue suppressed her laughter and nodded: "Yeah."
Prince Chun watched the two perform silently.
Are these two half-grown children treating this matter as a joke?
Prince Chun reminded weakly: "Prime Minister, should we...report to the Emperor first?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty," the Fifth Prince said with a smile, "The Shadow Guard will report to Father every day."
Prince Chun heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Then I will obey the Prime Minister."
While they were discussing this, the middle-aged man they had met today was drawing a portrait and asked people to look for the two men and ask the pharmacy in the town if there were any patients bitten by snakes.
Although he couldn't say that he knew all the people in the town, he could recognize most of them. However, he didn't know these two people, and they appeared at the right time, just when the Yulin Army arrived here.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, no one wants to give up this place that they have guarded for so many years.
