Mr. Jade works

Chapter 1226: Incoming and Outgoing

    

fire!An Xue Tang walked to the door and kicked it open with her foot.At once, they saw the old woman huddled in a corner, trembling.Wang Rui subconsciously looked at An Xuetang. Seeing An Xuetang smil...Ninger frowned, silent for a moment, she countered Shou'er, "For Shuangshuang's origins, you truly haven't ever doubted"

"... "

Shouer paused, "What do you mean You suspect something is wrong with Shuangshuang"

Ning'er stopped her steps, her expression grave. "She's been able to live in the palace until now without being discovered by anyone. That palace maid who raised her must truly have that much ability And why hasn't Master Wang's people found any information about that palace maid after searching for so long Have you never doubted the truthfulness of Shuangshuang's words"

Ninger's words left Shou'er speechless. She had initially doubted Shuangshuang's words, but seeing how much the Princess trusted Shuangshuang, she didn't think much of it anymore.

Now that Ning'er mentioned it again, she frowned slightly and pondered for a moment. Upon reflection, the origins of Shuangshuang were indeed rather unclear.

Speaking of this, Ning'er thought about today's events again, "These days, Mr. has been teaching Shuangshuang, and she is even more sensible than when she first entered the mansion. And she knows that we are imprisoning Fu'er, and she also knows that the Prince's Mansion is now heavily guarded. I don't think she could have innocently overheard the cook intentionally leading her to the big kitchen."

Shou'er was stunned. "You...you suspect Shuangshuang is intentionally cooperating with the cook"

"Hmm."

"...Shour's heart ached a little. Deep down, she still believed in Shuangshuang, so this morning's events hadn't made her consider what role Shuangshuang might have played."

After a moment of silence, Ning'er continued, "Now that she is taking the initiative to approach Fu'er, I'm not at ease. I'll have someone keep an eye on her."

Shouer pursed her lips, "Should we tell the Princess about this If the Princess knew we had someone watching Biubi, she probably wouldn't agree."

"No, Your Highness is more cautious than we are. She will agree to this."

"Shou'er nodded slightly. "Then we should still go to ask the Princess first."

After exchanging a glance, the two hurried back to Jingtangyuan. Ning'er didn't hide anything and immediately voiced her thoughts.

An Xuetang listened quietly for a long time, and Ning'er and the others didn't urge her. The room was silent for a while.

After some time, An Xue Tang nodded and said to Ning'er, "Ning'er, do as you say and arrange things carefully. Don't let Shuangshuang notice anything unusual."

Shuangshuang already felt like she was living off the generosity of the Beijang王府, and if they found out about their suspicions regarding her origins, she might just demand to leave.

Ning'er knew what their princess was worried about and immediately bowed, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, Ning'er knows what to do."

"Well."

An Xuetang pursed her lips and continued to massage Feng Ming. She was thinking about going to Youlan City to find Mo Yunjing, but now that Feng Ming was in this state, Fu'er over there could very possibly affect Feng Ming's life. She was really quite worried.

If Shuangshuang gets close to Fu'er with a purpose, she really can't figure out these complicated relationships!

Having lived two lives, she had never felt such a profound sense of powerlessness, no matter how difficult the tasks she had faced before.

……

Meanwhile, in the distant city of Youlan, Mo Yunjing didn't know if he sensed An Xuetang's worries. Suddenly, a nameless irritability surged within him.

Putting down the paper in his hand, he looked up at Yunliu, "Has the letter been sent"

"My lord, it has been sent out. We sent it off last night and it should reach the Lady by day three."

His letter could also be delivered to Ninger's hands, and he didn't know if that heartless little thing had thought of him.

Mò Yún Jǐng hummed in response. Just then, Hàn Yún came over. "I didn't disturb you, did I"

Yunliu raised an eyebrow. "If I'm interrupting, perhaps Lord Han should wait outside"

Han Yun let out a light chuckle, "That's impossible."

After finishing, he looked towards Mo Yunjing and instantly withdrew the smile from his face. He said solemnly, “The people from Qingyun Pavilion have spread the word, but after observing for these hours, no suspicious individuals have appeared.”

Mo Yunjing's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and after a moment of silence, he said, "If they can't even receive news from the Qingyun Pavilion, it seems their hiding place must be in the deep mountains and forests."

His voice was extremely faint, carrying a chill that both Han Yun and Yun Liu knew masked the anger burning within him.

Han Yun and Yunliu exchanged glances. Han Yun nodded slightly, "I have the same suspicion. If Qiongyun Pavilion's news didn't reach them, there are only two possibilities. Either they are hiding in deep mountains and forests with no way to receive external information, or... they're all dead."

After saying that, Han Yun successfully earned cold stares from Mo Yunjing and Yunliu.

He quickly waved his hand, "Don't mind me, I was just talking nonsense."

Mo Yunjing narrowed his eyes slightly, "They won't die, with so much explosives in their hands, even if they face a strong opponent, as long as they use the explosives, it is impossible to escape."

Even if they can't escape, they will surely ignite all the explosives at the last moment. They will certainly not let the explosives fall into the enemy's hands. Under the premise that they cannot be saved, they will surely be destroyed.

But the destructive power of explosives is so great that once they are ignited, there will be no trace left behind.

The only possibility is that they've hidden themselves, and very well.

Han Yun and Yunliu also thought of this possibility, the two breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the person was still alive and the explosives hadn't fallen into enemy hands, they needn't worry so much.

Several people fell silent for a moment. Han Yun looked at Mo Yunjing, "The people from Qingyun Pavilion are looking for them now, rest assured, as long as you give us a few more days, we will surely find some clues."

No matter how anxious he was, there were no clues to be found at the moment. He could only take it slow. Mo Yunjing gave a cold and indifferent hum.

He turned and walked to the military sand table, continuing to stare at the hills, rivers, fortresses, and routes on it.

He had marked out the most likely route the Red Army would take next, and he had also made arrangements for the strongholds of Youlan City. The only thing he was uncertain about was whether the Red Army would dare to risk everything and come over that hill.

That hill stood between the lands of Chi and Tianba, but almost no one who entered it ever came out alive. Neither Chi nor Tianba had dared to send anyone in over the years, let alone attempt to have an army of tens of thousands cross the hill to attack the other side's camp.

But that also means that people from both countries on either side of the hill had no defense at all, not even a single soldier stationed there.

Once the enemy manages to breach the hill, we will deliver a decisive blow.

But now the garrison of Youlan City is not large. If we were to send some troops to guard the hills, it would be too dangerous for the other fortresses.

Seeing Mo Yunjing's gaze fixed on that mountain, Han Yun's eyes lit up. "This mountain is known for being impossible to get out of once you go in. If we could hide within it, wouldn't that be the safest option So..."to him in a coaxing tone, he obediently calmed down."Hmph," she snorted at Mo Yunjing with a displeased expression. "This time, I'll spare you for my niece, A Tang's sake. But, Mo Yunjing, once we ret...
