After writing the letter to Jiang Shuying, Duan Wenjun couldn't help but let out a long breath, and his heart was filled with deep worry.
The last time he was in Lingxiao County, he had a night talk with Chai Jingyun.
Chai Jingyun analyzed the situation in Dashun for him, and it had reached the point of internal and external troubles.
This is why Emperor Shun attaches so much importance to recruiting peace from a small moon island.
He really hopes that the carrot and stick policy proposed by Duan Wenjun can succeed and change Dashun's current predicament.
Nowadays, the war in the north is reoccurring. Although it is only the dispute between Mo Kingdom and Yan Kingdom for the time being, no one knows whether the war will eventually spread to Dashun.
If the war spreads, the world may not be peaceful again.
Therefore, he must hurry up and seize the time.
Because he still has too many things to do.
Just as he put the letter into the envelope, there was a knock on the door outside.
When the guard saw it was Mao San, Duan Wenjun was slightly startled, and then immediately let him in. "Third brother, is there any news?"
Mao San was not polite, walked into the room, picked up the teapot on the table and drank a few sips, and then said, "Young master, as you expected, Xiao Daqian is in our Wangjiang County."
Duan Wenjun was overjoyed when he heard this, "What, your people found him?"
Mao San nodded, "The spy scouts along the way reported that someone saw Xiao Daqian at a roadside wine shop about ten miles north of Wangjiang City. So I thought he might have entered the city through the North City Gate. . Today we went to the beggars in the north of the city and asked them to help inquire, and sure enough, someone saw Xiao Daqian entering the city and was taken away. "
"Taken away?" Duan Wenjun frowned, "But Baldy Li's people?"
"Yes, they are the people brought by Feng San, the gangster under Baldy Li." Mao San nodded, "But they were not brought back to the gambling house, but to a shabby courtyard in the north of the city."
"Let's go! Let's call Lao Mo and rescue the people right now. Maybe things will turn around for Lin Jinglei." Duan Wenjun stood up with excitement.
However, Mao San did not move, but looked at Duan Wenjun with a hesitant expression.
"What's wrong?" Duan Wenjun couldn't help asking after seeing Mao San's hesitant expression.
"The young master's house, the little beggar said, the yard may not be simple." Mao San looked troubled.
"It's not simple? What's going on?" Duan Wenjun looked confused. "Don't worry, Baldy Li's thugs are not enough for Old Mo."
"The little beggar said that there is a group of mysterious people living in that courtyard." Mao San's face became very solemn. "They often saw people coming in and out, not Baldy Li's people. Moreover, those people seemed to know Qinggong. They never He didn’t enter through the main door, but climbed over the wall.”
Hearing this, Duan Wenjun frowned.
Just after hearing the spy report, he went outside the courtyard and walked around, but didn't find anything strange.
So, he asked people to keep an eye on the yard, and rushed over to report to Duan Wenjun.
According to Duan Wenjun's understanding, Baldy Li and his men, except Baldy Li himself, seemed to be ordinary people with no cultivation level.
However, there were experts in the place where he imprisoned Xiao Daqian, which had to make Duan Wenjun cautious.
After all, Baldy Li is also a member of the Guan family.
Any concierge or coachman pulled out of Prince Rui's Mansion turned out to be top-notch experts.
As the second largest family in Kyoto, it is normal for the Guan family to have a group of experts.
So, he hurriedly called Mo Shoucheng over.
"Old Duan, Mao San's worries are not unreasonable." After listening to Mao San's narration, Mo Shoucheng said, "Recently, Wangjiang County seems to have a lot of masters coming. It would be better for you to go out less recently."
"A lot of experts have come to Wangjiang County?" Duan Wenjun was stunned when he heard this, "Why didn't I know?"
"You're not a member of the world, so it's normal not to know." Mo Shoucheng rolled his eyes at him.
"Master Mo, are those Jianghu people here because of that rumor?" Mao San stared at Mo Shoucheng and spoke.
Mo Shoucheng's face became extremely solemn, but he did not answer.
"What rumors?" Duan Wenjun asked, staring at Mao San.
Mao San walked to the door and looked outside. After making sure that no one was there, he said, "It is said that before the rebellion of the Shadow Gate in the previous dynasty, Wei Emperor Zhao Yu was actually aware of it. So he sent someone to secretly steal the treasures. It was transported out of the palace. Originally, Emperor Wei was planning to transport it to Chen State, but unexpectedly the ship disappeared near our Wangjiang River when the water was restored."
Duan Wenjun was shocked when he heard this. He had never heard of this matter.
Mao San went on to say that he also accidentally found out about this news after the Spy Shadow was formed, and thought it was just a myth.
But when he just heard Mo Shoucheng say that many martial arts masters suddenly gathered at Wangjiang, he felt that it might not be groundless.
"This matter was originally a top secret of the royal family. I only heard it mentioned by the master." Mo Shoucheng's expression suddenly became extremely solemn. "But since Brother Mao has already found out about this news, someone must have deliberately spread this information." The news is out."
"Old Mo, is this really happening?" Duan Wenjun was surprised again. "Why do you feel that it sounds as unreal as a dream?"
"No one has seen those gold and silver jewels. Who knows whether they are real or fake?" Mo Shoucheng sneered, "They are just illusory things. Old Duan, you should know that when the late emperor was in power, the four princes rebelled. Let’s do something!”
Duan Wenjun heard Duan Daxiong talk about the Fourth Prince's rebellion.
Moreover, Yun Batian also mentioned the situation at that time to him.
It was also during that rebellion, if she hadn't been soft-hearted and brought the injured rebel general into Duanjiabao, maybe Qiuyun wouldn't have been frightened and got sick.
Seeing him nodding, Mo Shoucheng continued, "It is said that the late emperor sent the four princes to go south to find the treasure of the previous dynasty. But after the four princes found it, they were unwilling to hand it over, which triggered the rebellion. "
"So, the treasure of the previous dynasty is real? Did the fourth prince really find it?" Duan Wenjun looked horrified.
Mao San on the side was also stunned.
This information can be said to be the secret history of the royal family, something they have never come into contact with before.
Mo Shoucheng did not answer his words, but continued to ask, "Then do you know how the fourth prince died in the end?"
"I heard my fat dad say that the fourth prince lit the big boat he was riding on." Duan Wenjun nodded. "The fire that night turned the entire Fushui River red, and half of the sky."
"Yes! In fact, the fourth prince does not have to die." Mo Shoucheng sighed, "But in order to prove his innocence to the late emperor, he personally lit the ship on fire."
"So, in fact, the fourth prince did not find the treasure?" Duan Wenjun seemed to understand what he meant.
Mo Shoucheng did not answer, but continued, "This matter was originally a secret, but it spread in the world. I'm afraid this is not a good thing. Wangjiang has become a place where everyone is staring."
Duan Wenjun's expression became extremely solemn.
Thinking about it carefully, many people from Kyoto have suddenly come to Wangjiang recently, such as the eldest princess, Zhang Sanfeng...
They are definitely not just here to take a look.
Then, Chai Jingyun and Guan Xing arrived.
Nowadays, masters from all over the world gather...
These seemingly unrelated things seem to be related if you connect them with those rumors.
Duan Wenjun suddenly had a feeling that the rain was coming and the wind filled the building...
