The Crown Princess is reborn and returns to subvert the world

Fu Shoutang stopped and looked back at Cui Hao.

Cui Hao thought for a moment and said, "I agree with the terms of Miss Jiang and Princess Linglong, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to get those 500 war horses in a short time."

"Then let's wait until Lord Cui delivers the flattery to the capital." Fu Shoutang had received instructions from the Queen. Without 500 war horses for each man, he could not release Cui Hao with just the silver.

Seeing this, Cui Hao had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree, "I will write a letter and ask them to do it."

After receiving Cui Hao's letter, Tian Muyu gave Jixiang a thumbs up.

Sure enough, this Cui Hao is not as simple as he seems. They have external support outside the city.

Jixiang carefully opened Cui Hao's letter, read it carefully, and then handed it to Tian Muyu to read, "Who do you think the young master Sun mentioned above could be?"

Tian Muyu quickly finished reading the letter, "Could it be from my third brother?"

"No matter who it is, the one who can make Cui Hao seek help in the most critical moment must be an extraordinary person." She put the letter away, sealed it as it was, and handed it to the Dali Temple messenger who delivered the letter, "Send the letter according to Lord Cui's request."

The officer agreed to leave, and Tian Muyu also winked at Guard Li.

Guard Li immediately understood and left quietly with a few guards.

When Cui Hao wrote the letter to Young Master Sun, he also thought that this would expose his whereabouts. However, he had made careful arrangements, so these were not a big deal. At the same time, in order to leave the Dali Temple as soon as possible, he had no choice but to do this.

According to what Lord Cui said, the officers from the Dali Temple found an inn called Liukong ten miles outside the capital, then placed the letter at the front desk of the inn and handed it to the innkeeper.

Guard Li took people to see the shopkeeper and asked him if he knew this Young Master Sun.

The shopkeeper didn't want to tell Guard Li anything at first, until Guard Li took out his badge. Then he said helplessly that he helped forward letters for guests, which was a clever way for their inn to retain customers, and the business has been good over the years because of this.

Guard Li didn't want to listen to his nagging and just asked him to tell him who Young Master Sun was.

The shopkeeper finally shook his head helplessly and said that he didn't know any Young Master Sun, but he would write the recipient's name on the recruitment notice outside, and someone would come to pick up the letter when the time came.

Guard Li asked, "Aren't you afraid that the letter will be taken away by someone else?"

The shopkeeper hesitated for a long time before telling the secret of their store, which was that when guests needed to leave a message, the inn would give them a token of the inn, and this token would be used when they took the letter. Of course, each guest's token was different, so there would be no mistakes.

Guard Li quickly asked what the token for Cui Hao was.

The shopkeeper took out something that looked like a silver cake from a box under the counter, but now it was only half a piece. The other half was naturally in the hands of the person who had gained the trust.

Guard Li understood and ordered a guard to return to the city immediately to report the matter to the emperor and the empress. There was such a well-guarded inn ten miles outside the capital. I'm afraid that all kinds of people with special missions must have stayed in the capital for a long time.

Guard Li stayed at Liukong Inn as a guest and stayed there for three days.

During the three days, no Young Master Sun came to collect the trust.

Even the shopkeeper was puzzled, because usually when customers asked him to pass on letters, someone would come to pick up the letter shortly after he wrote the recipient's name.

The name of this Young Master Sun has been posted on the wall outside for three days, but not only has no one come to claim it, but their empty inn has also had no new guests check in for three days.

The shopkeeper thought that this was all caused by Li Shiwei and his group, so he wanted to persuade them to leave first. However, there were no other inns around Liukong Inn. If Li Shiwei wanted to wait for Young Master Sun, he had to stay here, which really made the shopkeeper embarrassed.

That day, the shopkeeper couldn't help himself, so he specially prepared a table of delicious food and invited Guard Li to have a few drinks.

Guard Li also knew his purpose, "Manager Yan, I know we have been disturbing you for a few days and affecting your business. I will take people away today, you can rest assured."

The shopkeeper was secretly delighted when he heard this, but he still said sincerely, "I'm not afraid that Master Li's presence here will affect the business of our store, but from what I've seen in the past few days, the person who tried to gain your trust probably knew that Master was here, so he deliberately didn't come to gain your trust."

Guard Li nodded. If it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t have planned to take his men away.

But I have to leave now, so this just happens to coincide with the shopkeeper's idea.

After dinner, Guard Li led the guards on horseback towards the imperial city.

At the same time, a caravan was driving several horse-drawn carriages towards the inn from the direction of the capital.

In the palace, Guard Li stood in front of Tian Muyu with his head down in disgrace. He smiled auspiciously, "Guard Li, don't blame yourself. This was never going to go so smoothly. You were right to withdraw."

"But, if that Young Master Sun goes to the inn again..."

"Silly, why is your brain so stupid now? Am I going to send you only to keep an eye on it?" Tian Muyu was a little disappointed with the pig brain of Guard Li.

Guard Li was surprised and asked, "The emperor has arranged someone else?"

"Otherwise, our goal is to find the person who connected with Cui Hao. We finally got such a clue, how could I let it be lost?!"

Only then did Guard Li start to laugh.

Jixiang was helpless, "It seems that the emperor is right. Guard Li seems to have changed suddenly."

"Let Sister Zaohua help him find a wife as soon as possible so that he can cure his stupid brain." Tian Muyu joked.

Guard Li was startled, "Your Majesty, I do not want to get married."

Jixiang gestured to Guard Li to stretch out his hand. Guard Li was puzzled, so Jixiang grabbed it and soon Jixiang's fingers were on Guard Li's pulse.

"Do you feel anything unusual now?" Jixiang asked.

Guard Li was puzzled, "Not like the usual feeling?" Suddenly he seemed to understand something and said quickly, "These past few days when I was at the Liukong Inn, I felt dizzy at night, but it would get better at dawn. I thought it was because I caught a cold."

Jixiang stopped and looked at Tian Muyu, "He was poisoned."

Tian Muyu and Guard Li were both shocked.

"Who poisoned me?" Guard Li asked anxiously. He thought of the innkeeper, but the innkeeper already knew that he was from the capital and was quite polite to him. How could he poison him?

But if it wasn't the innkeeper who did it, then who did it?

And the letter that Cui Hao wrote to Young Master Sun, could it have been taken away?

Thinking of his own dizziness at night, Guard Li turned around and continued to leave, "I'll go ask them, are they also as confused as me at night?"

"Don't ask." Jixiang stopped Guard Li, "You've been tricked before, not to mention them. Maybe they fell asleep at night and didn't even know it."

"So, Cui Hao's letter is likely to have been taken away?" Tian Muyu felt a little regretful.

"That should be the case. But this won't stop us from finding people. Those people will come to deliver silver and horses, right? Now send people outside the city to keep an eye on who is delivering these things."

Guard Li quickly said, "I'll go!" and was about to leave again.

"Your poison has not been cured yet. Let Lord Situ send someone first." Jixiang called Guard Li again, "I will go and prepare the antidote for you. Your poison is obviously different from Qian Meiluo's. I need to study it again."
