After Xie Yao and General Xie returned to the Chinese army's tent, not long after, Vice General Xue came.
"Princess," Vice General Xue said after he finished his salute, he hesitated, as if he didn't know how to speak.
"Speak directly if you have anything to say." Xie Yao looked in a deep voice.
Lieutenant General Xue has a very straightforward personality, so if he looks like he is constipated, he must be really in trouble.
"Princess Qi, Sun Jian and Sun Guo are missing." Vice General Xue gritted his teeth, "The general has sent people to look for them, and the results will be found soon."
Xie Yao raised her eyebrows, "A spy?"
Vice General Xue's expression tightened, "How does the princess know?"
"You guessed it. Even if you can't find them, they must be no longer in the military camp. The prince is under strict control. I just want to talk to them casually, but they don't dare to escape. The only reason is that they think
I discovered something, so I ran away with a guilty conscience." Xie Yao analyzed calmly.
Unexpectedly, I would gain something unexpectedly by just saying it casually.
"The princess's analysis is correct, the general is also worried about this." Vice General Xue frowned, as if this matter was serious.
This surprised Xie Yao.
Xie Yao comforted Deputy General Xue and said: "They are just two spies. They left as soon as they left. There has been no training during this period, and they did not get any useful information. It is no big deal."
Lieutenant General Xue didn't think so, and he still looked a little nervous, "All the soldiers can clearly see the ketchup demonstrated by the princess! They will leak the news!"
Xie Yao smiled lightly.
She thought it was some secret, but it turned out that the recipe for ketchup was leaked.
"It's no big deal! If it's leaked, it's leaked! In the future, I will try to improve the formula, but only you will know."
Upon hearing this, Vice General Xue's face flashed with joy, "Can this be improved? Then thank you, Princess! That's great!"
"What's so good?" Chu Han walked in from outside, looking at everyone with a smile on his eyes.
When Lieutenant General Xue saw Chu Han, his face suddenly turned pale, and he clasped his fists directly, "This general is not doing well, please punish me!"
"Oh? What's wrong with things?" Chu Han asked in a deep voice.
Vice General Xue then told what happened, including the part where someone initially talked about Xie Yao.
After hearing this, Chu Han directly ordered, "There is no need to find those two people and spread the news in the camp that they were captured by the king and tortured. You must know that there are those people in the camp who are also spies."
"Then, let Vice General Guo lead his men to strictly guard the exit of the military camp. Anyone who wants to leave the military camp must be caught as soon as possible!"
Vice General Xue immediately bowed, "Your Majesty, are you going to attack the east and west and catch the remaining spies? General Mo will do it now!"
Xie Yao nodded secretly after hearing this.
Chu Han decisively gave up the pursuit and instead focused on the overall situation. He used the escape of the two spies to maximize his profits and get to know as many of the remaining spies as possible. It was a textbook move.
"Princess, you are really my lucky star! I have always wanted to catch the spies in the camp, but there is no proper way. You broke the deadlock as soon as you came! This time, you did me a big favor.
"Chu Han smiled warmly and softly, and his black eyes were like stars in the night sky, emitting little bits of light.
"Your Majesty is serious, I just happened to be." Xie Yao told the truth.
She just wanted to talk to the two spies about why they thought she was the one who ordered Chu Han not to practice.
Now the answer is obvious, it was just a rumor spread by spies.
"Princess, you are humble." Chu Han said, and then gave General Xie a fist, "I would like to thank the old general for teaching and learning to my subordinates today. They must have benefited a lot from such a rare and precious opportunity.
.”
"King Han is so polite. I saw that they were very studious and it was fate to meet them in the military camp, so I said a few more words." Old General Xie smiled calmly, much like a senior expert.
"My king's affairs have been dealt with. Are you, General Xie, interested in walking around with me?" Chu Han invited.
However, Old General Xie waved his hand and said, "Forgive me, King Han. I am getting old and get tired easily, so I will go back home first so as not to disturb King Han."
"In that case, let's go back to the capital together. I can also go back to the palace to handle some military affairs." Chu Han said.
Xie Yao was beside him, quietly watching the two men being polite to each other.
During her time in Prince Han's Mansion, she had never seen Chu Han be so polite to anyone.
Likewise, she had never seen her grandfather be so polite to anyone.
After the polite greetings were completed, the three of them left the military camp.
When I got on the carriage, it was different from when I arrived. Two carriages appeared at the gate of the military camp.
One of them was from the time of arrival, and Xie Yao recognized the appearance of the other carriage. It should be from Prince Han's Palace, but the carriages from Prince Han's Palace were all in the capital, why was it here?
Chu Han got on one carriage, and General Xie got on another carriage.
Xie Yao looked at both sides, pondered for a moment, and walked towards Chu Han's carriage.
In the carriage, Chu Han saw Xie Yao coming through the gap in the curtain, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
Even though her grandfather didn't accompany her, but she came to accompany him, she still had him in her heart.
Xie Yao walked to the carriage, opened the curtain and was about to speak.
Chu Han spoke first, with gentle eyes, "It's rare that the princess has the heart to not forget about me. But General Xie is old and in poor health. I think it's better for you to accompany General Xie."
Xie Yao paused when the words came to her lips and could only take them back.
She came here originally to tell Chu Han that she wanted to accompany her grandfather and not him.
Since Chu Han had said everything, there was no need for her to speak.
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty." She said, then turned around and got into her grandfather's carriage.
Chu Han's eyes softened for a moment, and he narrowed his eyes. Why did he feel that Xie Yao had planned this in the first place?
"Your Majesty, shall we set off?" Seeing that the Prince had not spoken for a long time, the coachman asked tentatively.
Chu Han came back to his senses and said in a low voice, "Let's go."
"yes!"
The two carriages moved forward slowly, heading towards the capital.
In another carriage, General Xie glanced at Xie Yao, his old eyes deepened, "How are you getting along with King Han recently?"
Xie Yao raised her eyes in confusion, "Why does grandfather ask this?"
"Let me ask you an answer. How are you and King Han getting along recently?" General Xie asked inquiringly with a deep voice.
"Same as before." Xie Yao's answer was deliberately vague.
She didn't know exactly how she got along with Chu Han, but they must have seemed more harmonious than the one who had just married into Prince Han's palace.
General Xie carefully looked at Xie Yao's eyes and expression, and slowly shook his head, "There is something wrong with you! Something is very wrong!"
"Why is something wrong with me? Please tell me directly, grandfather." Xie Yao was inexplicably panicked after being told this.
General Xie's eyes were profound, "Your mind is neither calm nor focused."
