Quick Travel: The beginning is Shura Field

Chapter 1524: Vicious and domineering (31)

Zhuihun echoed the emperor's words and said, "Your Majesty's concerns are not unreasonable. I also think this matter is strange."

"Although the cliffs on the back mountain are high and deep, there is a river underneath. Logically speaking, if we follow the river, we won't be able to find anyone."

"Even if we can't find anyone alive, we're sure we'll find a body after such a long time of searching. But if we can't even find a body, it means that Major General Wen is probably still alive."

"That's what I'm worried about, so I can't make him the crown prince for now."

"So it is indeed inappropriate to appoint a crown prince. If the princess is really interested in His Highness the Seventeenth, according to the ranking of all the princes, His Highness the Seventeenth is still the first. I believe that the princess will also take this into consideration and will not give up His Highness the Seventeenth easily."

With Zhuihun's comfort, the emperor's worries were relieved a lot.

At night, Xiao Ye was just about to take a rest when the sound of footsteps on the roof aroused his vigilance.

Then, the footsteps on the roof disappeared, and were replaced by the window being broken open.

Xiao Ye looked at the soul-chasing man who had landed on the ground and said venomously, "With your level of infiltration, how did you become Dai Ke's personal guard?"

Zhuihun said nonchalantly: "I am a guard, my focus is on arranging troops and formations, so naturally I lack some lightness skills."

If he wasn't afraid that Zi Yi wouldn't explain clearly, he wouldn't have taken the risk to sneak into the palace.

Then, Zhuihun handed the letter to Xiao Ye: "This is the new plan of the Major General. Your Highness, please consider whether you agree to it."

Xiao Ye glanced at the text while Zhuihun's mind was working rapidly.

He is Dai Ke's man, and this idea was also proposed by Dai Ke. Naturally, he prefers Xiao Ye to agree to the new plan.

He opened his mouth, ready to make a long speech, but unexpectedly Xiao Ye simply agreed: "I have no objection, it can be implemented."

Zhuihun's words were stuck in his throat, and he was a little surprised: "Your Highness should have understood the risks of this plan. Are you sure you want to agree?"

Xiao Ye threw the letter in his hand towards the candlelight, destroying the evidence in the same way as Dai Ke did.

He seemed relaxed around Dai Ke, but in fact he learned a lot from her.

In fact, he knew Dai Ke very well.

"I can agree to this, but I want to see Dai Ke, right now!"

"Your Highness, I told you that the master has not yet arrived in the capital. Your Highness, please be patient and wait for a few days. You will see him at the banquet."

Xiao Ye said with certainty, "It's spring-like all year round in Shengguo's capital. The weather has been humid recently, and the climate is dry along the way from the northern border to the capital. The ink on the letter has not yet completely dried, which means it was written today."

"The content of the letter is very fragmented. This radical and gamble-like plan, as well as the concerns expressed below, are clearly not the work of one person."

"This plan is very consistent with Dai Ke's personality, so it means that it was Dai Ke who came up with the idea, and it was Wen Shu who was worried."

Zhuihun was forced to admit: "It was indeed the master's idea, but the letter was sent from the northern border to the capital, and the master is not in the capital."

"Impossible!" Xiao Ye denied it directly. "If Wen Shu just wanted to ask me if I agreed, she could have just handed the original to me. Why would she write another letter?"

"And judging from her description of her concerns, it's clear that she has discussed this with others in court. Even you probably don't have the qualifications to discuss this matter in such detail with Wen Shu, right?"

"So tell me where Dai Ke is, I want to see her!"

Zhuihun retreated under Xiao Ye's strong attitude: "The master will not see you for the time being. Please wait until the banquet. In addition, please write a letter in person so that I can convey your decision to the major general."

"Why won't she see me?"

"The master has his own plans, which will only take a few days. Can't your highness wait?"

Xiao Ye was hurt by Dai Ke's refusal to see him.

He wrote the letter in silence and gave it to Zhuihun.

Zhuihun left, Xiao Ye made a gesture with his hands in the air, and then several black shadows followed Zhuihun away.

Zi Yi was outside the palace to meet Zhui Hun. Sensing a slight fluctuation in the air, Zi Yi's alertness instantly increased: "Prince Xiao sent people to follow you. I can't get rid of them with you. Give me the letter and I will deliver it myself."

Zhuihun also noticed those people and tried to shake them off, but failed.

He handed the letter to Zi Yi and said, "Prince Xiao guessed that the master had entered the capital and wanted to see her, but I refused. Remember to ask the master for his opinion on this matter." "Got it."

Zi Yi shuttled through the city, using the criss-crossing alleys and his superb martial arts skills to shake off the group of people pursuing him.

In the room, Wen Shu stared at the candle on the table, feeling uneasy.

Dai Ke calmly ate his midnight snack, peeling a freshly-cooked braised shrimp in his hand: "Don't worry, the answer will come soon, let's eat something first."

Wen Shu frowned and stared at Dai Ke: "You seem very confident, aren't you afraid that he won't agree?"

"I believe he has the courage, and my proposal will only benefit him and not cause any harm. There is no reason for him to disagree."

There was a knock on the door and Wen Shu couldn't wait to open it.

Dai Ke wiped his hands, looked up and saw Zi Yi, and asked casually: "Where is Zhuihun?"

"Prince Xiao wanted to see you, so he sent someone to follow Zhui Hun. I was afraid that your location would be exposed, so I came here on Zhui Hun's behalf. This is Prince Xiao's letter."

Dai Ke opened the envelope, took out the letter inside, opened it, took a look at it, and handed it to Wen Shu.

"Zi Yi, have someone notify the stand-in later and ask them to speed up their journey to Beijing."

"Yes!"

Wen Shu looked at the contents of the letter and sat down dejectedly: "Why did he agree?"

"Major General Wen has a happy and harmonious family, so he naturally doesn't want to lose it, but Xiao Ye once had nothing, and he also knows that everything he has now was obtained through deception."

"If the emperor doubts, he will lose everything again, so there is nothing he dares not to gamble on."

Wen Shu took a breath and compromised, "What do I need to do?"

Dai Ke took the letter and burned it: "You only need to..."

The posthouse in the capital of Sheng State.

When Xiao Ye learned that the envoy of Sheng State had arrived in Beijing, he rushed to the posthouse immediately, but was stopped by a large number of guards in the courtyard.

Xiao Ye looked at the leading guard and said strongly: "I want to see Dai Ke!"

"Prince Xiao, tonight is the welcoming banquet. Please go back and prepare. Don't let His Highness down."

"I just met her once, and then I left."

Just as the guard was about to refuse, the door behind him opened.

Dai Ke, wearing a luxurious and elegant dress, appeared in Xiao Ye's sight.

Xiao Ye broke through the guards and stood in front of Dai Ke. After nearly three months of separation, the face in front of him seemed unfamiliar.

"I just ask you one question, who are you going to marry?"

Dai Ke put his hands behind his back, looking nonchalant: "I guess your country has prepared a lot of handsome men, I have to pick one, right?" With the same familiar attitude and tone, Xiao Ye sneered: "You really haven't changed."

Dai Ke felt that the time was about up, and when she walked towards the carriage, Xiao Ye wanted to stop her, but was stopped by the guards.

"The welcoming banquet will begin soon, Your Highness, please do not linger here."

Looking at Dai Ke's back, all kinds of memories of Chaotian Kingdom came to his mind, and there was hostility and hatred in his eyes.
