After marrying Prince Mobei, the beauties were crazily criticized and favored crazily

Chapter 348 The Praying Mantis and the Oriole 19
"Have you seen Bai Shui?" Luo Xiyao asked.

Jin Qiyue shook her head, "When I came out, Bai Shui hadn't returned yet. But the spies got the news about Bai Shui and were rushing back."

Luo Xiyao was caught after crossing the river with Baishui, the boats were not allowed on the river at that time, they also begged the boatman in various ways, and the boatman agreed to take the risk of sending them off at night.

Of course, it's not for nothing to take the risk, they gave double the usual ship fare.

"When I crossed the river with Baishui, the local yamen did not allow the boat to sail, but at that time I thought it was because they did this to arrest us, but now it seems that I think too much about myself." Luo Xiyao looked at the thin man , "When Seventh Brother sends someone to send you news, you must ask the other party to bring the news back. Tell Seventh Brother that King Zhu Fang has contact with Bai Yanwen, and he probably has the Eastern Qi Emperor's credential in his hand."

Luo Xiyao pursed her lips and said, "If I were King Zhu Fang, I would not return empty-handed after I have dispatched troops. If he had an agreement with Emperor Dongqi, he would not harm the people along the way. At that time, as long as people check along the way, Then you will know what is going on in Zhu Fang's town. If you don't kill people, you don't kill people, but it doesn't mean you won't rob gold and silver. Even if you have the credentials of the Eastern Qi Emperor, King Zhu Fang will use the excuse that the general's military strength will not be affected. If Dong Qi wants to use the road to attack Mobei, he won't hold on to such small things. It's just hard to say how much Zhu Fang can do for Dong Qi."

"Is it that simple?" Jin Qiyue frowned, "Are they treating us as fools?"

Luo Xiyao said: "They can build ships."

"what?"

"Shipbuilding." Luo Xiyao waved her fingers, "There are so many trees on the bank, can't you just cut them down and build a boat to cross the river? They didn't fight against Dong Qi with swords and guns. The boat was built just to confuse us and give us The army that is really borrowing the way is just buying time. If you don’t believe me, go and see, Bai Yanwen is leading the army to hold us back, and also to hold back Seventh Brother. Bai Yanxin will definitely take advantage of the night to cross the river and join the real Eastern Qi army.”

"Ah?" Ding Zhen felt that his head was already full of mud, the second prince and the third prince are so powerful?The people Luo Xiyao spoke of seemed to be the same as the ones he knew...they were too different.

Luo Xiyao murmured: "Yes, Bai Yanxin did that mainly to confuse me. What about Bai Yanwen? Bai Yanwen really wanted the golden thread Gu, because without the backing of the Ping family, the Eastern Qi Emperor obviously valued Bai Yanxin more. Ning Xin When he died, he stole the treasure map in Bai Yanxin's hand. Did Bai Yanwen really not know? He knew! Because of this, he handed over the treasure map in his hand to Emperor Dongqi in order to win him back. Cao Kuan did not follow Bai Yanxin, which is the evidence that the Eastern Qi Emperor began to doubt Bai Yanxin. If this is the case, then Bai Yanxin cannot be the supervising army, and the real supervising army is someone else. Maybe Bai Yanxin is attracting Rong Hui The eldest princess' target...Emperor Dongqi is really scheming, as expected."

Jin Qiyue circled the table a few times like a donkey pulling a mill, "No, don't wait any longer, I'll send the news when it gets dark."

The wind is a bit strong tonight, the tent is obviously far away from the Anning River, but Luo Xiyao can hear the sound of the river rushing.

She looked at the thin man lying on the ground with his eyes open, and knew that he was waiting, and he would not act until midnight.

On the contrary, Ding Zhen had a big heart and slept soundly.

Suddenly, the sound of armor colliding came from outside the tent, followed by the sound of messy footsteps.

"Assassins! There are assassins!"

Suddenly, someone raised their tent.

Luo Xiyao picked up the candlestick next to the pillow and threw it over, "Bold! Who Renye broke into my princess's tent and simply ignored me! Where are Bai Yanwen and Bai Yanxin? Get out!"

"Hasn't Princess Helan heard? There are assassins." Cao Kuan lifted the curtain with one hand and held the hilt of the sword with the other, and the noise outside the tent was clearly transmitted into the tent.

Jin Qiyue got up and lit the candle, and the dim yellow light illuminated the small tent.

"What are you arguing about?" Ding Zhen rubbed his eyes and yawned, his dazed gaze collided with Cao Kuan's icy eyes, and he instantly sobered up, "Commander Cao?"

"An assassin broke into the camp, and the soldiers are arresting it. I was worried that an assassin would sneak in and hurt Princess Helan, so I came to have a look."

"Look?" Luo Xiyao raised her eyebrows and snorted coldly: "Now that you've seen it, you can leave, right? What? Commander Cao is worried about assassins hiding in my tent? Ha! There is no screen in this tent, And there is no wardrobe, you can see where the assassin can hide, point it out and let me see."

Cao Kuan came here when people were setting up the tent. It can be said that he came in and inspected the tent earlier than Luo Xiyao. In order to prevent Luo Xiyao from doing anything secretly, the arrangement of this tent is extremely simple, and one can scan it thoroughly at a glance.

The candlestick is at the corner of the bed, as long as the candle is lit, the shadow under the bed can be illuminated, it is really hidden, and one can see through it at a glance.

"Zhu Fang is staring at the opposite bank. Although the imperial court has ordered boats to be banned from crossing the river, no one knows whether Zhu Fang will have a water master who can swim over." Cao Kuan said, "Princess Helan has a special status. What happened, aren't we unable to argue? Don't think that we are imprisoning you, Princess Helan should understand that we are protecting you."

"Really?" Luo Xiyao narrowed her eyes suspiciously, "You said everything, who knows if there are any assassins? If you really want to protect me, why do you have to be caught by the river? You are the one, ghost It's you too. Commander Cao, don't think that I don't trust you, we are not on the same page now. I only trust the people around me, and I want him to go out and have a look."

"Skinny man." Luo Xiyao raised her chin, "Go and see if Bai Yanwen and Bai Yanxin are there? If they are in the tent, you can ask the assassins if they have sneaked into their side to assassinate them. If they are not there, I will You have to ask Commander Cao carefully, where did the commander and the supervising army go at night?"

Jin Qiyue immediately understood what she meant, he stood up and clasped his fists and said "yes", then he straightened his clothes and walked in front of Cao Kuan, "I also ask Commander Cao to step aside, the concubine ordered the little one to meet the prince of Dongqi, Commander Cao Don't make things difficult for the little ones."

"Princess Helan!" Cao Kuan said in a deep voice, "It's dangerous outside, once you go out, don't regret what happened."

Luo Xiyao tilted her head, her eyes widened innocently, "If something happened to my people in your territory, who would I turn to if I don't look for you? Commander Cao is really good at telling jokes! Even if there are assassins, isn't the outside already arresting them? Why? There are so many assassins who don’t want to kill, so they insist on killing my servants? Thin man, go quickly! I want to see, who is this assassin going to assassinate?”

"Yes." The thin man squeezed away from Cao Kuan and strode towards Bai Yanwen's tent, not ignoring Bai Yanxin, but Bai Yanwen's tent was closer, "Princess Helan asked to see the second prince."
