Chapter 139 8 The Prince Can No Longer Hold Back

Watching the four people disappear into the darkness, Tang Yuhuai felt extremely complicated and heavy.

He knew that among the four of them, some might be able to complete the mission, or the whole group might be wiped out.

But he had no choice. As a man of the Great Zhou, he was born in the Great Zhou and would die for the Great Zhou. Seeing that his country was on the verge of collapse and a conspiracy and chaos were right in front of him, he had to report everything he saw exactly as it was.

Tang Yuhuai took a spear that he had secretly stolen from the cave and touched it carefully. Both the texture and style of the spear were modeled after the spear of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and were almost exactly the same.

Western Chu, Japan, and every force in the north are all proficient in different weapons, but the soldiers of the Great Zhou are best at using spears.

Even the drill formations he saw when he sneaked into the mountain stronghold that day were very similar to the most common military drill formations in the Great Zhou.

The possibility of an external enemy sneaking in and hiding here is extremely low, and the possibility of an internal thief is greater.

This discovery reminded Tang Yuhuai of a series of events that happened in Yunzhou. He didn't think about it carefully at the time. When he returned to the capital, he had no solid evidence and could not tell His Majesty about it...

I can only secretly guess in my heart who is the person behind the scenes?

Looking back at everything that happened here now, it was almost exactly the same as the bandit camp in Yunzhou, which made it difficult for Tang Yuhuai not to think too much!

Tang Yuhuai suddenly missed Qi Bai a little. Qi Bai was a man of both literary and martial talents, and had a quick mind. With his intelligence, he could definitely guess something at this time, instead of being like him... who could even draw a rough circle.

But there are too many names that have been crossed out. If I were to eliminate them one by one, how long would it take?

No wonder Qi Bai wrote a special letter to Beijing when he passed by Chaozhou. It turned out that there was an undercurrent in Chaozhou...

Tang Yuhuai couldn't help but wonder what kind of bandit was so bold that he dared to break into Chaozhou City and attack Bai when there were tens of thousands of defenders in Chaozhou...

It turns out there is an even bigger backer behind him!

With Qi Bai's experience, whether out of understanding or trust in Qi Bai, Tang Yuhuai first ruled out the capable Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and the third prince Zhou Yichen.

Zhou Yichen must be a good person to make Bai Xin convinced and follow him till now, and he will definitely not be too bad, and he will not secretly forge weapons!

Regardless of whether Your Majesty believes his words or not, Tang Yuhuai, as a subject, must tell His Majesty the truth about what he has seen and heard. How Your Majesty will deal with the matter and whether or not to conduct a thorough investigation are all decisions Your Majesty has to make!

Tang Yuhuai would occasionally think about this. Chu Qibai was only appointed as a centurion and sent to Xi'an, the border city. He wondered how he was doing now.

Chu Xi, who is being watched by all parties, is now most concerned about Qin Sanyuan. Qin Sanyuan's overly anxious test that day has already exposed himself.

Qin Sanyuan himself seemed to have noticed it afterwards, and quickly made amends in front of Chu Xi, saying that he was just too curious about what this prince from the capital looked like.

Is he really as gentle and cultured as the storyteller describes, and also as skilled in martial arts?

If there really are such people in this world, we must admire them.

Chu Xi just nodded with a smile to show that she understood. As for whether she believed Qin Sanyuan's explanation or not, she did not say it directly.

Qin Sanyuan was really stunned by someone who was so meticulous and didn't show it on his face. He stared at Chu Xi's face and smiled to change the subject.

Chu Xi knew that as long as she didn't express her opinion, no matter how steady Qin Sanyuan was, he would become restless. As long as he couldn't sit still, he would contact other people, such as...Qin Sanyuan's superiors.

Or the same Eighth Prince’s spy.

Chu Xiguang could tell from Qin Sanyuan's daily life that Qin Sanyuan was definitely not the leader, and the person who could really make the decision probably hadn't surfaced yet!

Therefore, when Qin Sanyuan tried to get close to her or talk to her, she would not refuse, but would instead reply to his questions without making any expression.

Chu Xi is good-looking, and from her daily behavior and conversation, it can be seen that she has a good family background and is from the capital. On the first day of entering the military camp, she defeated Bian Hangqing and Han Yaojun in succession.

In this situation, she would certainly attract a lot of attention in the military camp. There were too many people who wanted to get close to her. The only difference was... Qin Sanyuan seemed to be particularly enthusiastic.

Compared to other people who wanted to get close to Chu Xi, Qin Sanyuan was more enthusiastic and always tried to find out about Chu Xi's daily life.

If she only suspected Qin Sanyuan at the beginning, then these actions made her almost certain that Qin Sanyuan was the one.

As a bait in public, Chu Xi naturally cannot keep an eye on Qin Sanyuan, so he can only let Chu Er keep a close eye on him in secret.

Sure enough, within a day, that night Qin Sanyuan met with the people in the camp and reported Chu Xi's daily activities truthfully.

Chu Er told Chu Xi the person who contacted Qin Sanyuan, who was Yu Chengwen, one of the three deputy generals.

"Yu Chengwen told Qin Sanyuan that he must keep a close eye on his master in the next few days and can expose himself appropriately to attract his master's attention when necessary."

After listening to Chu Er's report, Chu Xi's eyes moved slightly, and the corners of his lips rose. "It seems that the Eighth Prince can no longer hold back. You should keep a close eye on Yu Chengwen these days. They will definitely find a way to take action."

Although, no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't think of any way to help the Japanese army cross the river without making any noise, but this order clearly showed that they were not going to give up the plan.

Chu Er did not dare to delay for a moment. After receiving Chu Xi's order, he left immediately and quickly found other people to contact secretly and exchanged Chu Xi's latest orders.

Another three days passed. This time, Chu Er didn't dare to make an appointment with Chu Xi as he did before. He could only sneak into Chu Xi's tent when no one was paying attention and slip the note under Chu Xi's pillow.

When he was going out, he passed by Chu Xi and signaled Chu Xi with a small gesture to go back and check.

Chu Xi's eyes flashed, and he returned to the tent during lunch break. He quickly turned over his quilt and pillow and successfully found the message sent by Chu Er.

Before Bian Hangqing entered the tent, she took off her shoes without saying a word, lay down, took the book beside her, put the note inside the book, and gently unfolded it.

Bian Hangqing's bed and her bed were one on the right and one on the left, respectively, next to the edge of the tent, with a distance between them. If Bian Hangqing did not deliberately walk closer, he would never be able to see the "secret" in the book in her hand.

The content of the note left by Chu Er was very simple, just six words -

Midnight, water well in the west.

Chu Xi was thoughtful, frowning slightly. What on earth were they trying to do with the well in the west?

Seeing that Chu Xi was still interested in reading, Bian Hangqing sighed helplessly, "Hurry up and take a rest. You are not tired at all, but you still want to read in such a short time."
