Sure enough, as Taoist Master Xingyue expected, Prince Ping was really cautious.
"Master Taoist, after Prince Ping checked into the inn, he stayed behind closed doors. We didn't dare to approach easily, for fear of disturbing others. However, not long ago, we saw the master and two people sneaking around. I left the inn and went around to the backyard of the general's mansion. The subordinates didn't know what he meant and didn't dare to make the decision on their own, so they rushed over immediately and asked the master for instructions."
Ma Yuanyi reported everything he saw in a low voice.
"Is there anyone following?"
Taoist Master Xingyue asked.
"I didn't dare to follow them too closely. Those two are good at martial arts. Our brothers can only watch from a distance."
Ma Yuanyi replied.
"Okay, well done. Ambassador Dong, let's go take a look together!"
Taoist Master Xingyue made a quick decision.
"As you command!"
Dong Er immediately responded.
Soon, the two of them quietly approached the general's mansion under the leadership of Ma Yuanyi, taking advantage of the darkness.
"Taoist Master, Dong Shi..."
The brother in charge of surveillance opened his mouth, but was immediately stopped by Ma Yuanyi's gesture.
"Say it quietly!"
The brother quickly lowered his voice and told what he saw. In fact, it was nothing, because he didn't dare to follow him in, so he saw that the master never came out.
"Oh, it looks like the conversation was very interesting!"
Taoist Master Xingyue said lightly and glanced at Dong Er and Ma Yuanyi.
"Let's go and have a look."
As he spoke, Taoist Master Xingyue crossed the high wall in the backyard of the General's Mansion like a ghost.
In the huge general's mansion, the lights were dimming at this time. Perhaps due to the impact of the war, there were teams of sergeants patrolling from time to time.
However, it was too easy for the three of them to avoid these sergeants.
Not long after, the three of them quietly crouched down in the study room of the General's Mansion.
Although Lei Hu may seem rude, he is actually both civil and military. He is one of the rare generals under Ping Wang's throne, and he is also an important chess piece that Ping Wang hides behind.
This small study room is exactly where he receives guests privately.
"General Lei, do you understand the prince's hard work?"
In the room, the master's voice sounded a little cold.
"My foster father is sitting in Jingxiang, and he originally had plenty of troops. If it weren't for the sudden rise of the British King's army, it would not be difficult to defend Xiangyang and prevent the imperial army from going south. I didn't expect it..."
It can be heard that this person is Lei Hu, and there is a lot of emotion in this tone.
"Now that the matter has come to this, what else can be done? Your Majesty does not go to Changsha, Ezhou, or Wuling County, but comes to General Lei alone. What does this mean? I won't tell you. The general should understand."
The person who said this was another person. When Xingyue Taoist heard it, he could tell that he was ruthless.
"Then I dare to ask Master, where is my adoptive father now?"
Obviously, the master did not tell Lei Hu where Prince Ping was staying.
"Your Majesty is fine for the time being. General, you can rest assured. However, your Majesty doesn't want to show up in public this time. I ask General Lei to make a quick decision regarding Shizhou!"
The master did not tell the whereabouts of Prince Ping, but coldly forced Lei Hu to make a certain decision.
Shizhou?
Taoist Master Xingyue, who was hiding in secret, frowned upon hearing this.
Shizhou was the seat of the great chieftain of the Miao territory. It was clearly subordinate to Wang Hua and had been autonomous for generations without being controlled by anyone. Over the years, Prince Ping has had a very good relationship with him, and they often gave each other a lot of money and silk. If Prince Ping wanted to go to Shizhou, he would have asked to stay away. However, from what the master said, it seemed that Prince Ping had other plans. ?
"My foster father has been as kind to me as a mountain, how dare Lei Mou repay me? However, this matter of Shizhou is very important, please let me think twice!"
Sure enough, I heard that Lei Hu did not make a quick decision as the master said, but always kept his own thinking.
