On the wedding night, the prince asked me to see an andrologist

Chapter 513 Wait for them to come
Ning Muqing quickly left the private house while it was still dark.

During the time when she returned to the station outside the city, she gathered herself and calmly thought about what to do next.

She doesn't care about Chu Lixuan's mission.

What she wants to do is to find out the real leader of Chen Guo's caravan and test whether he has the antidote for the poisonous needle.

Chu Lixuan was hit by a lot of poisonous needles, but because of their small size, each needle was not contaminated with much poison. The dead soldiers of Chen State were accustomed to hiding tens of thousands of poisonous needles in their wrist guards. Here, it is triggered by mechanisms, making it difficult for the enemy to evade.

Chu Lixuan sealed his meridians immediately after being poisoned. With his skill and physical fitness, it was not a problem to resist for several days.

But if it is delayed for a long time, the toxin will spread sooner or later.

The sooner you get the antidote, the safer it will be.

Ning Muqing thought about it in her mind, stabilized her mind, and returned to the caravan.

After a nap, the fourth prince already knew her identity and looked for Ning Muqing. He said that Chu Lixuan was nowhere to be seen.

Ning Muqing knew from the fourth prince that he had disappeared since he separated from Chu Lixuan last night.

Then he is most likely to go to two places now.

Ning Muqing thought for a moment and returned to Yan Fugui's mansion. At this time, the mansion was surrounded by the four princes.

The door was closed tightly.

There were more than a dozen government officials holding torches at the door and guarding the wall tightly.

"..." The sound of rustling footsteps came from behind.

Ning Muqing's eyes flashed, and she suddenly turned sideways to avoid the attack, holding the dagger hidden in her sleeve against the opponent's throat!

The man suddenly became stiff and did not dare to move, "Princess?"

"why you?"

Ning Muqing saw Chai Yan's face clearly and was startled, and quickly realized something.

"Did Chu Lixuan ask you to wait here?"

Chai Yan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately clasped his fists in salute, "I've met the princess!"

"No need." Ning Muqing asked directly, "Who asked you to stay here?"

"Back to the princess, I am following the instructions from His Highness Prince Ning and are waiting for the princess here." Chai Yan replied respectfully.

Ning Muqing frowned, "What did Prince Ning say? Where are they?"

Chai Yan shook his head, "I don't know the whereabouts of the prince. I just received an oral instruction to wait for the princess here. If the princess does not come, I will go to the county government office to meet with the fourth prince early tomorrow morning. If the princess comes, The prince ordered his subordinates to tell the princess something."

Ning Muqing was confused, "What are you talking about?"

"The prince said that there might be something strange happening in the Yan family, so he asked the princess to be careful and not to alert others!"

Ning Muqing's eyebrows twitched, "That's the only thing? Did he say anything else?"

Chai Yan shook his head silently.

Ning Muqing narrowed her eyes slightly, "When did you receive the oral order? Have you met Prince Ning? How can you be sure that the oral order is true?"

Chai Yan said in a deep voice, "I have never seen the prince in person, but it is written by the prince himself and has a seal as a letter. It cannot be fake!"

The seal Chu Lixuan carried with him was given by His Majesty in the palace. It can be used as a temporary military talisman. It can not only prove his identity, but also dispatch troops and generals. Seeing the seal is like seeing a prince.

No one can steal the seal from his hand, and the seal alone cannot be forged, so the authenticity can be determined.

Ning Muqing gave up her doubts and nodded, "I understand. Are there any other Chai Yans around here?"

"No more. The rest of the staff have been transferred to the county government by the prince to protect His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." Chai Yan said.

"He just left you here alone?"

Ning Muqing's mouth twitched, "He is so confident, can you guard me here?"

Ning Muqing felt a subtle discomfort in her heart.

Chu Lixuan knew her whereabouts very well and could even tell her beforehand. He asked Chai Yan to guard her where she would appear one day in advance.

What was revealed behind this was that Chu Lixuan had an extremely clear understanding of her patterns of action.

Going deeper, it can be said to be an understanding of herself.

Because character determines action.

Without sufficient understanding and mastery, it is impossible to predict a person's behavior. And the opposite.

But she wasn't even sure where Chu Lixuan was now. She only had a few guesses, let alone staying in advance.
There is a feeling of losing.

Chai Yan was a little confused, "I don't know what the prince thinks. I just acted in accordance with the prince's order. Please forgive me, princess."

"Forget it." Ning Muqing was not angry at Chai Yan.

She waved her hand and said, "I'm keeping an eye on you. Go directly to the county office and meet the fourth prince. If he asks you something, just answer him truthfully. There's no need to hide anything."

Chai Yan clasped his fists, "Yes, I'm resigning!"

Ning Muqing was soon left alone in the alley.

The sky was completely dark, and the moonless and starless night sky looked gloomy. Only the torches of the Yan family not far away were bright, surrounding the house in a complete circle. From a distance, it looked like a fire snake entwined.

In contrast, it was not bright inside the house. Only a few rooms had lights on, and the rest was dark.

Under the order of Shen Shilang, most of the servants of the Yan family were taken away and imprisoned.

"Yan Fugui's" family members, including his wife, son and daughter, were transferred to other places for detention after their examination showed no problems.

The body of "Yan Fugui" has been transported back to the Yamen and will be examined by the widower.

Now, except for two or three servants doing odd jobs, the only people left in Yan Jia's house are the people from Chen Guo's caravan. It is quiet and deserted.

No wonder Chu Lixuan said with certainty that there would be something strange happening in the Yan family tonight.

He has cast the net and is waiting for the rabbit to rush out!
Ning Muqing stood in the shadow of the alley, looking at the Yan family from a distance, but thinking about it in her heart.

They moved all the unrelated people of the Yan family, leaving the Chen Guo caravan alone, and ordered the government officials to strictly block it and guard it day and night.

If the Chen Guo caravan had something secret in their minds, they would definitely feel uneasy in the face of this situation. Even if they didn't want to forcefully break through and escape, they would definitely take action.

As long as you take action, you will be exposed.

Even if the Chen Guo caravan can keep their composure and hold still, they won't be able to afford it for too long.

Chu Lixuan could, through the fourth prince, blockade the Yan family and prevent the Chen Guo caravan from leaving on the grounds of "thoroughly investigating the cause of the county magistrate's death."

The caravan can wait for a day or two.

What about four days, five days, or even ten days and a half month?

Can they afford to wait?

The longer it takes, the worse it will be for the caravan.

And don't forget, their "delivery time" has been set long ago. Now that the Yan family is blocked, the situation has changed drastically. If the "delivery" is missed or another accident occurs, only the people in the caravan will have a headache. .

In this way, the positions of both parties are reversed.

Originally, Chu Lixuan wanted to carefully detect their actions, but now Chu Lixuan was just waiting for their actions!
According to Chu Lixuan's judgment, the time for the caravan's operation will be tonight, because some things should be done sooner rather than later.

But he himself did not guard here. Instead, he sent a message through Chai Yan, leaving the Yan family to Ning Muqing to keep an eye on.

Where did he go?

A suspicion flashed through Ning Muqing's mind and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

"Since the troops are divided into two groups, let me try to see if your guess is accurate."

She fastened the mask on her face and silently approached the Yan family along the shadows.

A gust of night wind blew by, and the officer in charge of guarding was blinded by the wind. He lowered his head and rubbed it subconsciously, and the torch in his hand was blown away.

The moment the light suddenly dimmed, Ning Muqing climbed over the wall and jumped into the courtyard lightly.

The government officials were short of manpower and the Yan family's area was quite large. They could only guard the outside of the house, but not many people were on duty inside.

Ning Muqing easily sneaked into the courtyard of "Yan Fugui". When she saw a team of two government officials guarding the door, she decisively gave up and turned around to walk to the guest courtyard.

The guest house is where Chen Guo's caravan stayed.

The yard is very large and filled with goods brought by the caravan. The boxes look just like the real ones.

Ning Muqing had no interest in these goods, and he knew without even thinking that these were all deceptions, a cover for the caravan to act as if they were real.

There are quite a few people in the caravan, more than twenty people. Most of them live in this guest house. The remaining few errand boys live in the inn outside. They should not be important people.
