"What? Chief Sang, do you mean to search even my body?" Wang Zhuo asked in a sinister tone, almost gritting his teeth.

Sang Mo nodded and replied without any pause, "Yes, Master Wang, you also know that if this gift from the emperor is lost, we will all lose our heads. We cannot fail to find it."

"You you..." Wang Zhuo was so angry that he couldn't say anything else. If he was really tortured like this by them in the Bachelor's Mansion today and searched him in the end, how could he have the face to go out and see people.

"Don't worry, Master Wang. We may find it soon." Sang Mo comforted with a smile.

Wang Zhuo waved his hand and let them continue to work. Ji Ping led a few people to the banquet hall to search.

Hu Ziping stood at the door with an uneasy expression. Seeing Wang Zhuo's forbearing look, he felt very uncomfortable.

Just when he was about to go over and look at those people, he heard Wang Zhuo calling him.

"Chief Hu, please help me pass a letter to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan."

Wang Zhuo's tone was strained, as if he had used up all his strength. Li Junhao must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

When Hu Ziping heard Wang Zhuo's words, he became excited. Has Master Wang finally decided to take action?

"Yes." Hu Ziping walked over, bent over, helped Wang Zhuo up from the chair, and went to the study with him.

This was exactly the result he wanted. Wang Zhuo did not write the letter behind Hu Ziping's back, and the content of the letter made Hu Ziping very excited.

They finally didn't have to lie dormant for so long, and Wang Zhuo finally decided to bring all the plans forward.

After the carrier pigeon was released, Hu Ziping finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the banquet room to continue helping Sang Mo and the others look for the jade ring.

He didn't realize that as soon as the carrier pigeon he released flew out of the wall of the Bachelor's Mansion, someone quickly jumped up and caught it in his hand.

Then he quickly ran to Deputy General Niu who was sitting in a restaurant not far away and carefully held the carrier pigeon in front of him.

"Deputy General Niu, this person just flew out from the Bachelor's Mansion." the guard added.

Deputy General Niu had already reached out and carefully took the small bamboo tube off the pigeon's leg. Because it was too small and not sealed with Wang Zhuo's private seal or wax, he didn't have to worry about being discovered by the recipient if he opened it.

So he carefully opened the bamboo tube and took out the note inside. As expected, it was still written in code. Unfortunately, they had not yet deciphered the code, so he just copied down the contents.

Soon he carefully rolled up the note, put it into a small bamboo tube, and asked the guards to release the pigeon.

After struggling for more than half an hour, Yan Nangui and Sang Mo finally found the jade ring at the entrance of the banquet room, so they said goodbye to Wang Zhuo with a sense of relief and returned to the Dali Temple.

Deputy General Niu has placed the contents of the letter carried by the carrier pigeon on Yan Nangui's desk, along with an unsigned letter.

Sang Mo picked up the transcribed content and asked, "Why, haven't you deciphered these codes yet?"

Yan Nangui shook his head and picked up the envelope in confusion. "I initially suspect that it is a mapping of the content of a certain page of a book, but I haven't found out which book it is yet."

"What's so difficult about this? Can't you just sneak a peek at Wang Zhuo's study?" Sang Mo said nonchalantly.

Yan Nangui opened the envelope with a "swish" sound, "Do you think I didn't expect that there are secret guards in Wang Zhuo's study, and it's impossible to get close to him..."

After he finished speaking, he opened the letter inside, and the words on it made him stop talking immediately.

Sang Mo also noticed his abnormality and leaned over to take a look. He saw a sentence without a beginning or an end, "In the Analects of Confucius, the chapter on benevolence, pray for peace."

"What does this mean?" Sang Mo asked, and then he realized that Yan Nangui had turned around and started looking for "The Analects of Confucius" on his desk.

Sang Mo seemed to realize something, "Who gave this tip? Are you asking for peace?"

Yan Nangui quickly found the book with curled edges, turned quickly to the Li Ren chapter, and then compared the contents of the copy he had just read one by one.

Soon, Yan Nangui let out an excited sigh, "Yes, that's it."

Sang Mo followed closely and checked what Yan Nangui had copied down on another piece of paper. "Wow, it looks like the Crown Prince gained quite a lot from his trip today."

Yan Nangui also nodded and said excitedly, "Chief Sang, please report this situation to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately. I will translate all the letters I received before and deliver them to the East Palace in person later."

Sang Mo lowered his eyes and glanced at the contents on the paper again before nodding, "Is Qiu An a person's name? Who is he?"

Yan Nangui shook his head without comment, but there was no doubt that this person had helped him a lot.

After seeing Sang Mo off, Yan Nangui did not translate the letters first, but called in a guard.

"Where did this letter come from?"

The guard looked at the letter and then he seemed to remember something and said,

"It was handed over by the gatekeeper, Old Li, who said it was given to him by a little beggar. The little beggar said it was a very important item and must be given to Lord Yan, and then he ran away."

Yan Nangui nodded and let him go out. He then read the letter again. The handwriting and paper were very ordinary, but the two words "ask for peace" made him ponder for a long time.

When Sang Mo returned to the East Palace, it was already past dinner time, but he did not delay for a moment and hurried to see Li Junhao.

He was in a good mood during dinner that night, so he ate a little more and is now digesting the food in the yard.

Seeing Sang Mo coming over, he asked without waiting for him to salute, "Did Wang Zhuo send a letter to Yan Bei?"

Sang Mo opened his eyes wide in disbelief, "Your Highness, are you good at predicting this? Can you even guess something like this?"

Li Junhao smiled and shook his head. "With your look, everything is written on your face. How can I not guess it?"

"Your Highness is wise. Not only did he deliver the message, Lord Yan also found a way to decipher the letters between them. In the letter just now, Wang Zhuo was already impatient and asked His Highness the Prince of Yan to take action in advance."

Sang Mo couldn't wait to tell Li Junhao what happened in detail, and then added, "The two words 'Seek peace' on the letter are very strange. We suspect that it is a code name that person gave himself, and it is also his wish."
