Chapter 142 Departure Border
Just as Wei Ting said, according to their original plan.
At this time, the leader stood in the Tai Chi Hall with lowered eyebrows. In front of him was the emperor with solemn eyebrows.
The emperor held the document he had written in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed, the leader lowered his head, his tall figure's aura dropped sharply, and his breathing slowed down under the emperor's strong pressure.
As the emperor's personal guard, he knew that His Majesty had been in a bad mood these past few days because of this incident.
It is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. No matter how kind the emperor is, he still holds the power of life and death in the world and has a true dragon in his belly. His nerves were extremely tense at the moment. Although he did not dare to look up, he was always paying attention to the emperor's eyes.
reaction.
Finally, amidst his panic, His Majesty finally put down the document.
"You mean, there are spies assisting the third princess of Xiliang in Chang'an City?"
The emperor's pair of narrow eyes narrowed, and a dark light flashed in his eyes. His whole person was in a gloom, and he was not angry or intimidated.
The powerful aura was overwhelming in an instant. The leader was covered in cold sweat and said quickly, "Return to your Majesty, yes."
"Today, when I and the people sent by Prime Minister Wang inspected the Furong Restaurant, they discovered something strange. After investigation, this guess was confirmed. The acting shopkeeper of the Furong Restaurant came to Chang'an three years ago as an undercover agent, but he always acted cautiously.
, was not discovered. It was not until the third princess of Xiliang absconded with Miss Wang yesterday that the truth was revealed."
The emperor's index finger tapped the armrest of the chair regularly. The leader took a look and understood that this was His Majesty's thinking action.
There was anger hidden in the emperor's brows. He had already set up camp in Chang'an three years ago, and only three years later, Dai Zan was discovered because of this bold move. This simply did not take the great suffering into consideration! It is really counter-intuitive.
It’s crazy!
It was only a year and a half ago that the border became stable. Xiliang was very ambitious and had always been against Da Ku. They were repulsed and surrendered a year ago. At that time, they were thinking of counterattack!
The emperor rubbed his temples that suddenly ached, he was simply bullying someone too much!
The emperor's anger could hardly be concealed, and the leader was so suppressed by this overwhelming anger that he did not dare to say a word.
The emperor's expression was very bad, and even the look he looked at the leader had a hint of coldness, "I will set out tomorrow to investigate the whereabouts of the third princess of Xiliang. I will give you ten days."
The leader quickly said, "Yes!"
The emperor finally suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "During today's investigation, did you notice anything unusual about Wang Yun's people?"
For a moment, the scene of being scolded by Wang Yinchuan during the day, but finally turning into cooperation appeared in the leader's mind. He thought about it, and finally said, "Your Majesty, no."
"Furthermore, it was Wang Yun's people who found out about the spy. One of them was a woman who observed very carefully. If it hadn't been for her, I might not have been able to determine who the spy was so easily."
After the leader finished speaking, he was shocked. When he was scolded by Wang Yinchuan today, he became angry and wanted to criticize her in front of His Majesty, but why did he praise her instead?
The leader couldn't help shaking his body. Sure enough, women were the most terrifying.
"Woman?" The emperor frowned.
The leader briefly described her height and appearance, "Although I'm not sure why Prime Minister Wang sent a woman here, she is extremely smart."
The emperor frowned. For a while, he really didn't remember that there was any young woman under Wang Yun, and she was also extremely smart. It sounded like she was about the age of his daughter.
However, this matter is not very important. The emperor said, "Be more careful in the future, and don't let any news about the spies come to light."
The leader took the lead and quickly retreated.
By the time he left the palace, he was already sweating profusely. It took a lot of courage to face the still angry emperor. Thanks to those two people who sent him the news about the spies just before he entered the palace, otherwise
, he doesn’t even know how to communicate!

In the evening, Wang Yinchuan and Wei Ting returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Wang Yun had been waiting for their news in the study.
Wang Yinchuan told him what happened today intact, but of course, concealed the part about the rift with the leader.
Wang Yun rubbed his eyebrows, his eyes were black and blue, and he obviously had trouble sleeping and eating.
"Well, you did the right thing. Even though Your Majesty doubts me at this time, what we have to do in the future is to prove our innocence. Your Majesty is kind and won't be like this when the matter is resolved."
It is normal for a king to be suspicious, and Wang Yun did not put himself in trouble because of this. He had worked with the king for a long time and knew his Majesty's temper very well. However, what worried him the most was the current whereabouts of his daughter.
"Wei Ting, please bring Baochai back." As if overnight, Wang Yun had a lot more white hair on his temples, and his voice became a little older.
That was his own daughter, who had never even left Chang'an. Her whereabouts were unknown, and it was difficult to even guarantee her wealth and life. However, he still had hope in his heart, hoping that Wei Ting could surprise him like she did on the battlefield.
Wei Ting nodded, "The guards sent over already have information about them."
"Since the third princess of Xiliang wants to escape the great suffering as soon as possible without causing trouble, she must take this road."
Wei Ting pointed out the route on the map, "This is the fastest road to Shimenguan, the only road that must be passed, and the people sent there did see their traces on this road."
"We can leave tomorrow."
Wang Yun nodded and looked at Wei Ting with relief, "Then I'll leave all the trouble to you."
"Although this road is close, even if you work hard, it will take seven days to arrive." Wang Yun has been marching and fighting for many years and has experience. He looked up from the map and said, "Go back to your home first, and prepare more silver coins for the guards.
Clothes and food.”
"yes."
Wang Yun didn't stay long, and the two of them quickly returned to the house.
When they arrived at the Wei Mansion, Wang Yinchuan simply packed up her clothes, because she had decided to go on a long trip during the day. At that time, she sent someone to tell Butler Liu to prepare dry food quickly. Dry food and water were necessary, even if they traveled lightly.
Be well prepared.
She didn't tell Wang Yun about going together. It didn't take much to think about it, but she knew that her parents would definitely not agree. They would set off tomorrow. Wang Yinchuan had already decided and had no time to deal with them, so he had to wait until they left.
Chang'an, tell Wang Yun again.
It is easier to pack clothes for two people.
We will set off before dawn tomorrow.
Before going to bed, Wei Ting asked, "Do you really want to go?"
Wang Yinchuan raised his eyebrows, "Don't tell me you want to persuade me to quit."
Wei Ting touched his nose, even though that was his intention.
PS: I have adjusted my schedule in the past two days so that I am not so late. Please support me.
