Chapter 405 [Diverting Trouble to the East]
Jiang Lili and Xin Che successfully loaded all the added medicinal herbs onto the carriage until it was full. Xin Che secured the cargo with the existing ropes on the carriage and patted the driver on the shoulder.
The driver was immediately frightened and trembled: "Sir, do you have any other instructions?"
Xin Che imitated one of the two assassins and ordered the groom in a rough voice, "The goods are loaded, you can leave."
The Xin family army has been on the road for many years and often has to go undercover and disguise themselves, so the skill of imitating voices is essential.
Upon hearing this, the coachman felt as if he had been pardoned and quickly drove away in his carriage.
Jiang Lili used the group chat camera to take pictures of the inn and its surroundings. Not knowing which inn this was, she sent it to Master Liao and asked him to check it out with the help of the Third Prince.
The two of them returned to the basement along the two-way passage, and no more accidents happened after that.
That night, Jiang Lili cleaned up the entire basement.
After walking around such a large underground warehouse, Jiang Lili felt exhausted. In the end, Xin Che half-carried her back. When they got back to the side hall of the cat room, Jiang Lili fell asleep as soon as she lay on the bed.
Xin Che tucked in the quilt for Jiang Lili. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, a look of heartache flashed across his eyes. He leaned beside her and watched over her as she slept lightly.
The next morning, Jiang Lili was awakened by a noisy noise outside. It seemed like quite a few people had gathered outside Mao'er's room. She had just sat up from the bed when Xin Che pushed the door open and walked in. He whispered to her, "The private vault was robbed. The princess's guards are leading people to search the princess's mansion. We should search here too."
Jiang Liming wondered where the noisy sound came from. She put on her clothes and got out of bed. She and Xin Che went to the outside of the cat's room. The guards who were searching were standing at the gauze door outside the cat's room. The cat's room was a place comparable to the princess's bedroom, and they did not dare to enter without permission.
The head of the guards asked through the screen door, "Manager Jiang, have you all taken care of the cat? Can you please let us in?"
Jiang Lili came over with disinfectant spray, "You can't let too many people in at once. Only five people at most. It might scare the cats."
"I'll disinfect you."
The leader of the guards had no choice but to pull out five people to cooperate with Jiang Lili.
While Jiang Lili was disinfecting them, she asked, "Big Brother, what happened in the Princess's Mansion?"
She looked timid. "Will it affect the cats in the cat room?"
The chief of the guards replied expressionlessly, "The princess has lost a valuable piece of jewelry and is currently searching for it."
"I see."
Jiang Lili laughed inwardly as she listened to this lame excuse.
After entering the cat room, he led five people to search the cat room, but found nothing unusual, so he withdrew with his people in disappointment.
"Things are about to change at the Princess's Mansion. We'll probably have to evacuate in a few days."
Jiang Lili caressed the big orange cat curled up at her feet reluctantly. She was also worried about these little guys, so she found a chance to pack them up and take them away.
Seeing that Jiang Lili looked at the cats with more affection than at himself, Xin Che reached out and plucked the cat hair off Jiang Lili's clothes. His eyes were gloomy, but his tone was quite generous: "Lili, are you going to keep these kittens by your side from now on?"
Jiang Lili helplessly spread her hands: "There are too many, I can't take care of them all. I'd better find good owners for them."
Xin Che breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Lili suddenly remembered something important: "Oh, right, didn't you send two Xin family soldiers to protect Shopkeeper Chen at the chicken market stall? Could you help me pass a message to Shopkeeper Chen?"
Xin Che nodded: "You go ahead."
Jiang Lili leaned over and whispered in his ear.
Xin Che raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Selling boat tickets to avoid the war?"
Jiang Lili nodded heavily: "War is a good time to make a fortune! And isn't our country of Mi short of manpower?"
"Wen Qiao sent me a message, she's back from her overseas cruise!"

The Third Prince’s Mansion.
Master Liao sat on a stone bench in the garden, smacking his lips as he ate the little candy man.
The tall and big Third Prince was practicing radio gymnastics seriously in front of Master Liao. The expression on his face was a little tense. He believed in every word he said and had memorized the radio gymnastics demonstration pictures he gave him by heart.
"One, two, three, four..."
Sheng Qingyun performed the radio gymnastics with great effort and accuracy: "Five, six, seven, eight..."
He has memorized the secret manual given to him by his master. Now he doesn't need to look at the manual as he has already memorized the entire set of physical training techniques.
After finishing a set of radio gymnastics, he walked over to Master Liao with a flushed face and sat down next to him. The admiration and respect in his eyes almost overflowed. "Master, you are truly a master of foresight. Last night, I sent people to hijack the carriage that left the Cheng Chunhui Pharmacy. Second Sister was really thrown into disarray!"
"And according to the information Su Rui handed over, the princess's mansion sent guards to search for something in the mansion early this morning. It should be just as you predicted, the princess's private vault was stolen!
I just don’t know who did this, could it be Big Brother?”
Sheng Qingyun felt that Su Rui, her male favorite, was really useful, and provided him with a lot of information, such as the specific number of troops under the princess's command.
He felt that he was the chosen one. He had a master to guide him and had picked up such a powerful spy. If he didn't become the emperor, who would be the emperor?
Master Liao shook his head upon hearing this: "This Master cannot calculate it."
Sheng Qingyun couldn't contain his excitement. He rubbed his hands and said, "Master, my second sister's camp and the mansion are in chaos right now. Isn't this a good time for us to take action?"
"Let's declare war on Second Sister in the name of seeking justice and payment for those foreign herdsmen in our mansion!"
Master Liao shook his head again, his expression unfathomable: "It's not our turn to take action now."
"I asked you to frame the eldest prince for the herbal medicine robbery. I'm waiting for them to start fighting so we can reap the benefits."
"Let's wait for the eldest prince to help us seek justice!"
Sheng Qingyun listened to Master Liao's words, not quite understanding them.
What the master said was the imperial decree, so he had to wait patiently for a while!
In the afternoon, after receiving the news from his spies, Sheng Qingyun excitedly found Master Liao and said, "Master, you are so amazing!"
Master Liao tilted his head and looked at him, "What's wrong?"
He now feels that Sheng Qingyun's admiration for him is worthless, as he always praises him to the sky.
"My eldest brother also wants to use the excuse of seeking justice for the foreign traders to start a war with my second sister."
Sheng Qingyun: "Now we are sending people to search for the whereabouts of you foreign sheep traders. We want to seek justice for you and protect you from the Second Princess's murderous hands."
Master Liao's tone was calm, which was inconsistent with his appearance. "Find an intermediary to contact the Grand Prince and have some of our herdsmen join him. That way, we'll have spies there."
"Within five days, the eldest prince and the second princess will start fighting."
"Have your people prepare well. We can intervene at any time."
When Sheng Qingyun heard Master Liao's estimated time, he was surprised that this first battle had come so quickly! He didn't dare to neglect it and hurried down to instruct his men.
At this time, there was a sense of impending storm in Haikui City, and the people in the city were cut off from information.
The powerful and wealthy businessmen who were more well-informed only vaguely knew that something had happened in the Second Princess's Mansion and were extremely panicked.
At this time, they were in a state of panic when they received a piece of news that someone was selling boat tickets to escape the war.
