The Golden County Magistrate

After a while, Cao Yu regained his normal expression and said calmly: "If you want to see His Royal Highness Prince Yi, just go by yourself. What does it have to do with me?"

He Dun coughed lightly and said: "If I go, I'm afraid I will be driven away before I even enter the door."

Cao Yu said with a stern face: "That's between you and His Royal Highness Prince Yi. What does it have to do with me? Get out of the way quickly. I still have to hurry!"

He Dun did not move away and said: "Master Cao, please forgive me. I have no intention of delaying you. I just ask you to say to His Royal Highness Prince Yi on my behalf that I will never cause trouble like Prime Minister Song."

After saying that, he made way.

Cao Yu was startled when he heard this. He looked at him deeply and then lowered the curtain.

The carriage drove forward again. He Dun watched it gradually go away, and the humble look on his face disappeared.

The bait has been thrown. Whether it will be hooked depends on the follow-up.

In the carriage, Cao Yu's body kept shaking as the carriage moved, but his eyes were gently closed.

He Dun's words showed that he knew that the backer behind Song Zhixian was His Royal Highness Prince Yi.

As for how he knew it, it was either torture or Song's arrogance and using Prince Yi to scare people.

This guy has many weaknesses and is easy to control.

But it is precisely because of his many weaknesses that he is prone to complications, and he is indeed not a suitable candidate.

He Dun's words meant that he wanted to join Prince Yi.

This person has few weaknesses, and Cao Yu even thought that this person was the type who thought he was noble and difficult to absorb, so he did not consider winning him over.

Now it seems that he has at least one weakness, which is power-seeking.

Therefore, after being eliminated, he would ask for Prince Yi's help.

"He Dun, He Dun, are you really worthy of His Royal Highness Prince Yi's trust?" Cao Yu murmured.

…

After the fleet sailed for two hours, the sky gradually darkened.

Xueyan patrolled below the deck. Her people and soldiers from Chen Yan's camp were guarding the entrances to each cabin.

In addition to the Fengling Guards, she also brought 200 guards on this trip north, naturally as the Chamber of Commerce's guards.

In addition to miscellaneous tasks and scouts on the shore, there were more than 40 of her people on each ship.

In contrast, Chen Yan did not arrange so many people. In addition to the people who secretly escorted on the shore, he only brought a total of 50 soldiers, half of whom were in his small building ship.

The remaining half, five or six people on each ship, two of whom were on the deck, so there were only three to four people patrolling in the cabin where the gunpowder was placed.

Xueyan patrolled for a while, winked at the men at the door of one of the cabins, and then dodged and went in.

The subordinate understood and stood at the door to keep watch for her, paying attention to the sergeant of the Nafu Camp who had walked to the other side of the passage.

Xueyan slipped to the innermost corner, took out a few disassembly tools from her arms, and prepared to start.

The reason why Tang Yun sent her this time, in addition to her calmness and composure, the most important reason was her craftsmanship.

Chen Yan's "secret weapon" made Tang Yun extremely curious.

The ability to destroy mountains is simply a miracle!

If you can master this secret weapon, it will not only solve the disaster, but may also be used in war, which has great strategic significance!

Xueyan has an excellent craftsmanship foundation, can easily understand the operating principles of various instruments, and even have the ability to imitate them.

If she can secretly learn the structure, principle and even how to make the secret weapon, the value will far exceed the huge amount of silver paid this time!

However, Chen Yan cannot know about this, so Xueyan can only keep it in her heart and act quietly.

But the sergeant of the Nafu Camp had been patrolling the cabin where the secret weapons were stored, and now she finally found an opportunity to sneak in.

The boxes were all locked, but Xueyan didn't care, because she was good at breaking locks.

But after a while, the locks didn't seem to be opened at all.

Sweat dripped from Xueyan's forehead, and she wiped it off. Just as she was about to continue, a voice suddenly came from the side: "Miss Xueyan, do you want to drink some water and rest first?"

Xueyan didn't notice anyone beside her at all, and was shocked. When she turned around, she saw a sergeant from the Nafu Camp looking at her with a smile.

"When did you come in..." Xueyan was shocked and said subconsciously. She glanced at the door and saw her men leaning against the door softly, with their eyes closed. They had fainted without knowing when!

"I came in when the girl started to pick the lock." The sergeant said with his hands folded on his chest, leaning on a shelf next to him.

Xueyan's body trembled violently, and she felt something was wrong.

The last time Tang Yun went to investigate the Nafu Camp, all the Fengling Guards she brought were captured, and she was one of them.

But there was no real battle at that time, so she didn't know the strength of the soldiers in the Nafu Camp.It was a profound experience.

But this time, the other party was able to knock out her men who were watching at the door without her noticing, sneak up to her, and then she was shocked until he started talking.

This skill is incredible!

If the other party regards her as an enemy, it would be effortless to kill her!

A layer of cold sweat seeped out of her back, and her mind kept turning. Finally, she gave up quibbling and said dejectedly: "I was wrong. Can you please let me go this time? I promise that there will never be such a thing again in the future."

The sergeant shook his head: "It's not up to me to decide this matter. The adults will decide. Please move to the adults' boat!"

Not long after, in the small building boat.

In the study, Chen Yan was leaning on the small couch, flipping through a picture album, very leisurely.

Xueyan stood nervously aside, with sweat in her palms.

It would be fine if Chen Yan scolded her, but since she came in, Chen Yan has not looked at her once, his eyes have always been fixed on the album, which makes her extremely nervous.

Finally, Xueyan couldn't help it: "Master Chen, if you want to scold me, please do so. I did something wrong and I deserve to be scolded."

Chen Yan looked up at her in surprise as if he had just discovered that she was here: "Oh, I almost forgot that you are still here." He looked back and forth between Xueyan and the portrait in the album in his hand, feeling a little regretful.

This painter's level still has a lot of room for improvement. It's okay when there is no comparison, but once compared with the real beauties, the problem of disproportion is immediately exposed. The heroine in this album is really not as attractive as Xueyan.

Xueyan was relieved to see that he was finally willing to talk, and said humbly: "I was curious for a moment, and I couldn't help but want to secretly see what your secret weapon is..."

Chen Yan smiled ambiguously and interrupted her: "You want to see my secret weapon, do you need to do it secretly? Just say it directly, I am happy to show it to a beauty like Miss Xueyan."

Xueyan was stunned, and then said happily: "Really?! Then when can I see your secret weapon?"

Chen Yan said with a sigh: "So you are so eager, although it's not time to go to bed yet, but it's okay, I will fulfill your wish, let's go to the bedroom, you will soon be able to see my secret weapon!"
