The two guards opened their mouths, and then sighed: "Is this fate? We have only arrived in the capital not long ago, and the young master is about to get what he wants!"
"Congratulations, young master!"
Xiao Yueze was excited, but he quickly restrained himself. He took a deep breath and his expression returned to calm.
"I'm still quite sure now, so I can't jump to conclusions yet."
He didn't want to finally see a ray of light in the darkness, blow it gently and then extinguish it.
"I asked you to ask the guy, did you find out anything?"
The two guards lowered their heads after hearing this, looking ashamed, "That guy is very strict, so we didn't ask anything."
Xiao Yueze was not surprised. If the mouths of Wangyunlou people were so easy to pry open, the general would not reuse them.
"There are so many people in Wangyun Tower. If one of them fails, just replace him with the next one."
The two guards nodded.
"Then what are you going to do next, Master? I'm afraid it won't be easy for Master to find out the whereabouts of the general from Princess Xuan."
"My subordinates think so too. Princess Xuan is surrounded by secret guards. To prevent her identity from being exposed, we must not act rashly."
Xiao Yueze was noncommittal.
He is the son of Xiao Guogong of Yun State. He came to Jing State without telling his father. If he is discovered, not only Jing State will take the opportunity to attack, but Yun State will not let him go.
So no matter what he does, he must think about the consequences and cannot act recklessly.
After thinking about it, Xiao Yueze pondered for a moment and said, "Tomorrow we will go to see the miracle doctor Situ. He travels between Yun State and Jing State and knows the situation in Jing State better than we do."
"Perhaps I can ask his opinion before it's too late to act."
The two guards had no objection.
At dawn the next day, Xiao Yueze went to Situ Yan's residence alone.
He looked at the old yard in front of him with flashing eyes, raised his hand and knocked on the shaky wooden door.
Xiao Yueze waited for a while before footsteps came from inside.
"Who?"
Situ Yan raised his head and glanced at the dawning sky. Who would come to him at this time?
He opened the door and saw a face as gentle as jade.
Situ Yan looked at Xiao Yueze doubtfully, "Did the young master come to see me for medical treatment?"
Xiao Yueze shook his head, but opened his palm to him with a jade pendant on it.
Seeing the jade pendant, Situ Yan's eyes widened, "You are..."
He immediately stopped talking, looked around cautiously, and stretched out his hand to pull him into the yard.
Situ Yan looked at him seriously, "Mr. Xiao, why did you come to Jingguo?"
"How could Duke Xiao agree to your coming here?"
When he saw Xiao Yueze was silent, his brows twisted into the character "Sichuan".
"As expected, you came here secretly without telling Duke Xiao. Did you intercept my letter to Mu Xingchuan?"
After being exposed by Situ Yan, Xiao Yueze did not deny it, but directly admitted it.
"After I read it, I sent it to Mr. Mu. Mr. Mu didn't know about it."
"What did General Mu Xinghe learn? It's the Five Elements Bagua. The general used to praise him for learning the essence. If he wants to know, can you hide it from him?" Situ Yan said sharply.
Xiao Yueze did not refute, but quietly listened to his reprimand.
"Stop saying these useless words, and hurry back to Yun Kingdom before Xiao Guogong sends someone to find you!"
Xiao Yueze looked at Situ Yan's slightly stunned face and still stood motionless.
He spoke calmly, "I have already met the person that the miracle doctor Situ mentioned. The reason why I came to see the miracle doctor today is for her."
Situ Yan was still pushing him with his hand, but when he heard what he said, Situ Yan immediately raised his eyes and met his eyes.
He hesitated for a moment, "What do you want to say?"
"I think the miracle doctor's guess is right. Princess Xuan may know the whereabouts of the general."
Xiao Yueze's voice was a little more firm, but he had a guess that he hadn't told Situ Yan yet.
This idea was so ridiculous that he thought Shen Luoxi might be the general.
At that time, he heard that the emperor had eliminated the general, and despite his father's objections, he rode his horse to the general's mansion, which had become ruins.
He no longer wanted to recall how he felt when he saw the body that was burned beyond recognition. Before he intercepted Situ Yan's letter to Mu Xing, he could not sleep peacefully one night.
Obviously, as long as he waits for another half a year, his father will agree to let him go to the military camp...
So after seeing the letter, he rushed to Jingguo without thinking.
Seeing the seriousness written on his face, Situ Yan swallowed back the persuasion that was on his lips.
"You have changed so much now," he said with emotion.
Xiao Yueze smiled and then asked: "Can the miracle doctor tell me about Princess Xuan?"
Situ Yan sighed and told him all the information he knew. Seeing that he listened carefully, Situ Yan added, "If you want to get close to Princess Xuan, I advise you to be careful."
"If you are accidentally discovered by His Highness King Xuan, your end will be..."
Before Situ Yan finished speaking, Xiao Yueze also understood what he meant.
"Don't worry about this, the miracle doctor. I have a sense of discretion. I wonder if the miracle doctor has tested Princess Xuan?"
Situ Yan nodded, his eyebrows full of melancholy, "Of course I do, but there is nothing wrong with her answer. I have also investigated in private. Princess Ke Xuan grew up in the capital and was raised in a boudoir."
"In any case, she has no chance to meet the general."
Xiao Yueze said lightly "Yeah", but his heart started beating wildly.
If someone else had said this, he would have thought it was perfunctory and not necessarily the truth. However, Situ Yan had been friends with the general for many years and was one of the people who knew the general best.
His guess may be true...
Prince Xuan's Mansion.
Shen Luoxi drank tea comfortably and realized that Cang Yunxuan's guards had not come over today. The effect of Ruanjin Powder had expired.
She didn't take it seriously and did whatever she had to do.
A moment later, Cang Yunxuan walked into her yard as expected.
Xueyu was startled when she saw his gloomy face, and Shen Luoxi motioned her to step back with his eyes. She raised her eyes to look at Cang Yunxuan, and did not get up to salute. Instead, she raised her red lips and pointed to the stone beside her. stool.
"The prince's complexion is much better than before. It seems that he has had a good rest these past two days."
The veins on Cang Yunxuan's forehead bulged, and her thin lips pursed into a thin line, "You go and wait outside the yard."
The guards took the order and immediately exited the courtyard.
Cang Yunxuan looked at Shen Luoxi coldly, "Shen Luoxi, although you are my princess, you should stick to your duties. I remember that you have helped me, so you don't need to worry about the past."
"But you have repeatedly ignored me and acted more and more wantonly. If you continue like this, you will definitely cause a huge disaster. I will never allow you to ruin my plan!"
Shen Luoxi listened quietly. After he finished speaking, Shen Luoxi spoke quietly, "With all the things happening now, the person who will ruin the prince's plan is not me, but the prince."
"The prince and I had an agreement, but the prince couldn't even say 'keep his word'. Since the prince has many dissatisfactions, there is no need to continue the cooperation."
