Jiang Wuyou's favorability rating has increased from 115 to 125.
[Jiang Wuyou's favorability has reached 125, and the system reward item "Key to Jingtian City" has been obtained.]
Luoyue Pass? Jingtian City?
One is the strategic northern pass of the State of Qi, and the other is Jingtian, the capital of the State of Yan.
If we add the small wooden box that revealed Sister Jiang's identity, then all the items obtained from Sister Jiang will be related to the Yan Kingdom.
Thinking about it carefully, the "Yan Kingdom Border Defense Map" that appeared on Ziruo's wife is also related to the Yan Kingdom...
The story features two female protagonists and four props, all of which are connected to the State of Yan.
He Yunxiao had a bad feeling. Was a war about to break out?
"Xiao'er, loving you is something Wuyou will never regret in this lifetime."
Jiang Wuyou gazed at He Yunxiao with seductive eyes and flushed cheeks, her eyes full of affection.
He Yunxiao swallowed hard.
With her popularity at its peak, it would be a lie to say that Sister Jiang, caught up in a moment of passion, wasn't alluring. At this moment, she was like a ripe peach, ready to burst with sweet juice at the slightest touch. He Yunxiao, already deeply attracted to Sister Jiang's body, was finding it increasingly difficult to resist.
He Yunxiao may have been lustful, but he also knew that a gentleman's lust should be tempered with propriety. He knew when it was appropriate to be lustful and when it wasn't. He also knew who he could be lustful towards and who he couldn't. All of these things required careful consideration.
With the priorities clear, compared to the battle with Qi Yan, his own petty lustful thoughts had to take a back seat.
"Sister, let's get down to business. Is war about to break out between Qi and Yan?"
Upon hearing the word "war," Jiang Wuyou's momentary impulse dissipated. She nodded slowly and heavily to He Yunxiao.
"Xiao'er, as early as two years ago, the Yan Emperor ordered Yan spies who were stationed in Yinjing to gather intelligence on Qi's border defenses. Now, it is estimated that they have figured out the entire border defense deployment in northern Qi."
He Yunxiao was shocked. Good heavens, this Yan Emperor is basically using a full-map X-ray vision cheat!
Although He Yunxiao had not received any formal military training, he could guess the consequences of the war between Qi and Yan based on common sense. "Yan has been plotting for a long time, while Qi is unprepared. In addition, Yan has obtained Qi's border defense map. Once the war starts, I'm afraid no one can stop the Yan army for a while, and they can drive straight into the heart of Qi and threaten it directly."
Jiang Wuyou said, "Given the Yan Emperor's personality, he would never start a war unless he was prepared to attack Yinjing."
He Yunxiao exclaimed in surprise, "The current situation is that Qi is strong and Yan is weak, so why is the Yan Emperor still so powerful?"
Jiang Wuyou smiled bitterly, "Xiao'er, although Yan is weaker than Qi, the Yan Emperor's word is law, and the entire Yan state is united under his leadership. The Yan Emperor is like an emperor in the world, and countless people are willing to risk their lives for him. Although Qi is stronger than Yan overall, neither the Princess nor the Prime Minister can control the court on their own. If Qi and Yan go to war, the outcome is uncertain."
Because of the original owner's lack of knowledge about the Yan Kingdom, He Yunxiao never expected the current situation in the Yan Kingdom.
He Yunxiao looked at Jiang Wuyou in front of him and was suddenly overjoyed. He immediately reached out and hugged her, chuckling foolishly.
Jiang Wuyou nestled in He Yunxiao's arms and said reproachfully, "Wuyou only offered some basic and clumsy opinions, and you still laugh at me, my husband."
He Yunxiao laughed and said, "My wife, I'm not laughing at you, I'm happy. In the entire Qi Kingdom now, you are probably the one who can see the situation most clearly. As long as you organize this intelligence and hand it over to Meng Qingqian, you may not only be able to redeem yourself, but you may also become a great hero of Qi Kingdom."
Jiang Wuyou sighed, "Xiao'er, do you know Meng Qingqian?"
"Never seen it before."
"Then what makes you think she should believe us? What if I'm just a pawn of the Yan Emperor, here to feign surrender?"
"I believe in my wife."
Hearing He Yunxiao's words, Jiang Wuyou smiled. She leaned against He Yunxiao's chest, shifting her body to a more comfortable position. Regardless of the external situation, at this moment, nothing brought more joy and happiness than the trust of a loved one.
"Xiao'er, you believe your sister, but Meng Qingqian doesn't."
"It's alright," He Yunxiao said confidently. "I know one of Meng Qingqian's trusted subordinates. We have a pretty good relationship. She'll definitely believe me. We can have her persuade Meng Qingqian later."
"A trusted subordinate?" Jiang Wuyou asked, puzzled. She had been gathering intelligence on Yin Jing for so long and had never heard of Meng Qingqian having any trusted subordinates. She did know of a guard named Jian Ling who always stayed by Meng Qingqian's side.
Is his name Jian Ling?
No. Her name is Li Qingmeng.
"Li Qingmeng? Who is she?"
"She is Meng Qingqian's trusted subordinate."
Jiang Wuyou frowned and said, "Meng Qingqian's confidante should be a person of high position and power. How come I've never heard of this Li Qingmeng before?"
He Yunxiao asked in surprise, "My lady, you've never heard of this before?"
“Never,” Jiang Wuyou said definitively.
"That's strange," He Yunxiao said, puzzled. As the Emperor Yan's secret envoy in Yinjing, Sister Jiang should have heard of Li Qingmeng.
Could it be that the antidote is hidden so well that even Sister Jiang doesn't know about it?
But... this dog antidote is quite high-profile, isn't it? How could Sister Jiang not have heard of it?
Upon hearing about the girl who provided the antidote, He Yunxiao immediately recalled something even more important.
“My lady, since you’ve revealed your identity to me, I’ll just be direct. Yesterday, I secretly discussed with Li Qingmeng about redeeming you. The original plan was to secretly tell you that the mole in the Ministry of Justice had been discovered, so you could inform them and cause them to panic and flee, thus facilitating their capture. But now it shouldn’t be that complicated. Just write down the names of the Ministry of Justice’s spies for me.”
He Yunxiao shamelessly rubbed against Jiang Wuyou's face. It was pink and translucent, smooth and soft, warm and gentle, and felt quite comfortable to rub against.
Jiang Wuyou said helplessly, "The Ministry of Justice... doesn't have it."
He Yunxiao: ?
"Then why did Li Qingmeng discuss with me taking action against the Ministry of Justice?"
"Perhaps they're all not very bright, which makes me suspect there's a mole among them..."
He Yunxiao thought about Huang Buren for a moment, and like father, like son, so he nodded and said, "Indeed."
In the dead of night, two sneezes echoed from the Ministry of Justice's residence. One was Huang Qinghe's, and the other was also Huang Qinghe's.
“Xiao’er, actually, the Yan Emperor has set up at least two independent spy networks in Yin Jing. I only have control over one of them, so I’m not sure if the Ministry of Justice has any Yan spies.”
He Yunxiao wasn't stupid either. As soon as he heard "two sets of spy networks," he immediately understood why Jiang Wuyou had said earlier, "Given the Yan Emperor's personality, he would never start a war unless he was prepared to attack Yinjing."
People who maintain two intelligence networks to check and balance each other, as a backup, would never fight a battle they are unprepared for and have no chance of winning.
