The vicious female supporting role is ruthless and arrogant

Chapter 398: The prince wouldn’t send you to silence me, would he?

Jun Yuyang dragged Xing Luo away and returned to the open space where the grain was stored.

Xing Luo punched the rice sack hard, "Master, those traitors are so bold, I really want to send those damn beasts to hell right now."

Jun Yuyang took a deep breath and patted Xing Luo's arm.

"Don't worry, no one can escape."

He took the tinder and shone it around the open space. Seeing that there were two more passages, he raised his eyebrows and said:

"There are two more passages, and I don't know where they lead to."

Xing Luo put his foot down from the sack, glanced at the remaining two passages and said:

"You'll know if you take a look."

They first walked towards the western passage, at the end of which was a warehouse that stretched as far as the eye could see and was filled with weapons.

Jun Yuyang sneered, "Oh, it seems that these bastards are not only trying to eat away at Daman, but are also preparing to rebel."

"Who on earth is so ambitious that he dares to have such evil thoughts?" Xing Luo frowned and thought about it.

“If there are weapons, there must be soldiers.

Let's go and see where the southern passage leads to."

The two turned and left, heading towards the south passage.

The tunnel on the south side was unexpectedly long, estimated to be about four or five kilometers.

The end was blocked by a piece of wood.

The master and servant were lying on the wall, looking for a mechanism, when they suddenly heard voices coming from behind the wooden board.

"With this batch of food from the court, it will be enough for our 30,000 elite soldiers to eat for more than a month."

"Has the gold ore excavated this time been refined?"

"I've already started practicing, and the finished product will be ready in the next few days."

"Well, that's right! After the gold is refined, it will be transported directly to the northern border.

Let Northern Xinjiang buy food and send it directly to Changling Mountain."

"Sir, when are we going to attack the capital and seize the throne from that damn emperor?

Don’t worry. Now only half of the people in the court are subject to me. If I want to sit firmly on the throne of such a vast country, I need more people to submit to me.

The next batch of gold ore was refined and transported to the capital, where Minister Zhu was asked to contact his superiors to bribe the officials of the court.

It would be best if we could bribe his father-in-law.

The Wei family is a family of great loyalty and plays an important role in the court. If I could use them, that would be great.”

"Yes, yes, I will follow your instructions..."

Jun Yuyang patted Xing Luo's arm and nodded.

The two of them didn't stop for long and went straight to the north exit.

He pressed the switch on the rock, walked out, quickly exchanged his clothes with the previous yamen runner, and then ran towards the top of the mountain.

“Xingluo, judging from the position we were in just now, the passage in the north should lead in that direction.”

Jun Yuyang pointed in the direction of the city.

Xing Luo nodded, "Your Highness, can you tell whose voice is behind the wooden board?"

Jun Yuyang shook his head.

“I didn’t hear it.

However, I guess that this person should be an official from the Jiangnan region.

If he were an official in the capital, he would not have the time to come here and abuse his power.

Furthermore, officials in the capital are required to report for duty every day. As far as I know, no official in the court has asked for leave during this period."

"That is to say, it is possible that we have never even met this official."

Jun Yuyang nodded, "Xingluo, this situation is very serious now.

You take the account book and ride back to the capital as fast as you can to discuss countermeasures with my father.

I am staying here to investigate all the officials.”

"No, I don't feel comfortable with you staying here.

If anything happens to you, how am I going to explain to the Emperor and Empress?

I am your personal bodyguard and must always be by your side to protect your safety."

Jun Yuyang stretched out his hand and squeezed Xing Luo's arm, "Xing Luo, you have to do this.

Because you know the situation below, you can explain it more clearly to my father. "

"But……"

“No but…

Let's go down the mountain now. Xing Er and Zhu Jin should be back soon.

We will send you to the nearest town to buy a fast horse, and you must return to the capital within two or three days.

If you can get there before the messenger, go to the Prime Minister's residence first and ask Prime Minister Wei to cause trouble at Zhu's residence and take back Zhu Jin's mother's dowry.

Tell him Zhu Jin is with me and is safe.

Also, tell him a little bit about what's going on here, and remind him to be careful of being tricked into selling his life."

It's better to say it's a warning than a warning. However, Jun Yuyang still has some trust in the Prime Minister.

Xing Luo pursed his lips and nodded heavily.

When the two yamen runners woke up in a daze, it was already evening.

"Hiss..., why did we fall asleep?"

"Is there any poison around here that makes people sleepy?"

"What? That's too scary. Let's go back quickly."

"But we haven't gone to the city gate to check on the situation of those untouchables yet."

"It's already dark, what are you still looking at? Go back and say you're not dead yet.

In a few days, the adults will ask us to come and see it.

By then, those untouchables will surely be dead, so how could the adults bother to investigate whether the situation we reported today is true or false? "

"Yeah, okay, let's go back."

The two men got up from the ground and stumbled towards the big rock.

After Jun Yuyang met Zhu Jin, he immediately turned the carriage around and drove towards the nearest town.

When they arrived, it was already dark, but the streets were still busy with traffic.

Since Jun Yisheng ascended the throne, the curfew has been extended, which has greatly boosted the market economy.

Jun Yuyang bought a horse for Xing Luo and watched him gallop away with his own eyes.

"Miss Zhu, you haven't eaten well or slept well these days following me.

How about you rest here tonight, and I'll come pick you up tomorrow and collect some food, what do you think?"

"Do you have anything to do tonight?" Zhu Jin asked with a questioning look on his face.

Jun Yuyang didn't say anything else and just nodded.

“Okay, I’ll stay here tonight, but you must ensure your own safety.

If I don't see you by noon tomorrow, I will go to Licheng to look for you."

After Zhu Jin finished speaking, she took the jade pendant off her waist, took Jun Yuyang's hand, and placed the jade pendant in his palm.

“This was given to me by my grandmother when I was born, and it means peace and joy.

I heard that this jade pendant was given to my grandmother by the retired emperor.

Although I have had some bumps and bruises in the years since my mother's death, I'm still alive. I think it's all thanks to this jade pendant.

You take it, I hope you can return safely."

Jun Yuyang glanced at the jade pendant in his hand, then looked at Zhu Jin, and he seemed to understand what it meant.

My heart is thumping so fast it seems like it’s about to jump out of my chest.

"Well, don't worry, I will definitely come back safely." Jun Yuyang held the jade pendant in his hand and nodded in agreement.

He sent Zhu Jin to the inn, booked a room for her, ordered food and hot water, then went out and drove away in the carriage.

The victims had been waiting for them with great anticipation and originally thought they were being cheated.

But when my heart was filled with despair, I finally saw a few people carrying large bags running towards me from the woods on the side of the city gate.

Because the distance was not close, it was already early morning when Jun Yuyang and his team returned to the outside of Licheng city gate.

"Sir, we thought you weren't coming." An old man said tremblingly.

"I've said before that the court won't leave you alone, so how could I go back on my word?

"Have any yamen runners come here today?"

“No one came…”

Jun Yuyang asked the secret guards to distribute the food. Tonight's food was half more than yesterday's.

After the food was distributed, Jun Yuyang called on his secret guards to drive away.

"Xing Er, take advantage of the night and find a way to sneak into the city and investigate the situation inside.

Xingsan, you go and guard those victims to prevent them from being killed.

Xing Si, Xing Wu, go and investigate the officials in several states in the south of the Yangtze River.

Xing Luo has returned to the capital, and Xing Liu will stay with me, waiting for my orders."

The Xingzi Secret Guards are secret guards that are specifically assigned to protect the crown prince.

Without the prince's consent, no one would be allowed to see their appearance.

But the situation this time was special, Jun Yuyang had no choice but to let them come out and carry out the mission.

The next day, before noon, Jun Yuyang took Xing Liu to collect food and pick up Zhu Jin.

As soon as Jun Yuyang got off the carriage, he saw Zhu Jin sitting alone on the steps of the inn with large and small bags of things around him.

"Young Master, you're here?" Zhu Jin saw Jun Yuyang, stood up and ran over happily.

"It's so sunny outside, why don't you wait inside?"

"I bought a lot of stuff, and it's very troublesome to move it in and out."

Jun Yuyang walked to the steps and looked through the things she bought.

"Zhu Jin, what are you buying bedding for?"

“I just thought that you were always busy and didn’t get much sleep.

I want to spread this blanket in the car so you can take a nap while on the road."

Jun Yuyang wanted to say no, but it was hard to refuse the girl's kindness, so he could only thank her with a smile.

"That's very thoughtful of you. Thank you."

Zhu Jin grinned, revealing a row of white millet teeth. "I have already collected the food here.

It's almost noon now, let's eat before going to the next town to collect food."

Jun Yuyang did not refuse. He had been having trouble eating for the past few days and his stomach began to feel a little uncomfortable.

Xingliu loaded the things onto the carriage, and the three of them found a small shop and had a simple lunch before leaving.

Xing Luo traveled day and night, and finally returned to the capital in three days.

The first thing he did when he returned to the capital was to climb over the wall and sneak into Prime Minister Wei's bedroom.

"Prime Minister Wei..., Prime Minister Wei..."

“Ah…, wuwuwu…”

"Don't make any noise, I'm Xing Luo."

Prime Minister Wei opened his eyes wide, was stunned for a long time, and pointed at his mouth.

"Oh... I'm sorry, I was in a hurry."

Xing Luo let go of the Prime Minister's wife's mouth, and she quickly hid under the quilt, hugging Prime Minister Wei tightly.

Prime Minister Wei sat up and patted his wife on the back of his hand to comfort her.

"Guard Xing, why can't you tell me what's going on during the day? Why do you have to sneak into my bedroom in the middle of the night?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was rude.

However, I really can't come here during the day, and even at night, I don't dare to come in through the main gate.

Please forgive me..."

Prime Minister Wei looked Xing Luo up and down, and said with a puzzled look:

"The prince will not send you to silence me, will he?"
