The old butler saw Yun Meng quickly bowing and said excitedly: "Princess, you are back. I missed you so much."

The old butler started speaking in a sentimental tone, with his eyes turning red.

That expression made Yun Meng feel a little embarrassed, as if she had indeed been gone for a long time this time.

After comforting the old housekeeper, Yun Meng quickly got to the point and asked, "How is the arrangement of the retreat going?"

"Everything has been arranged almost completely. The old and weak, those who are unable to fight, and the children have been sent to the Northwest in batches.

With the escort agency secretly taking care of us on the road, I think nothing will happen. Now, all the people left in the farm and the shops are strong and capable of fighting.

As long as we retreat, they will follow us and help escort our relatives along the way."

The old butler took out a list and said, "All those listed here have identity problems, and some of them have been solved secretly.

Do you see if there is anything missing?"

Yunmeng took the list and looked at it. There were not many people with identity issues, but there were quite a few too.

More than 20 suspicious persons were found in the farmhouses, shops, and among the guards.

After secret follow-up investigations, it was determined that the identities of 19 people were questionable and they were executed directly.

As for the remaining people whose identities are uncertain, whether to execute them or make other arrangements will require Yunmeng's approval.

Yun Meng thought about it and realized that these people had been following the Prince Qi's Mansion for many years, so it would not be appropriate to execute them directly.

So Yunmeng followed the old butler and quietly left the Prince of Qi's Mansion and came to the courtyard outside the city where these suspicious people were imprisoned.

There are seven people in total, five boys and two girls. The two girls are born in their own families, so there shouldn't be any problem. However, there are always unexpected events in this world.

Yunmeng used his magic to look at the seven people and found that there were problems with the two women. It was not that their families had cheated on them, but that the two women had cheated.

Normally you can just cheat if you want, but the lover they found is problematic. The lover wants to collect intelligence through the two of them.

These two silly women were sold, yet they helped others count the money. Yet they were very pleased with themselves and thought they were very smart.

Yunmeng felt that the two women deserved to die, but their families should understand why they died.

Even if I die, I will die with a bad reputation.

The old butler thought it was no problem.

One of the women even gave birth to a child for her lover and asked the honest man to raise it. This is too much.

If it's not made clear, then the honest man will have to help others raise their son for the rest of his life.

As for the lovers of the two women, Yunmeng provided two addresses, and naturally someone went to capture the so-called lovers.

Yunmeng doesn't need to keep an eye on these things.

The identities of three of the remaining five men were questionable, and the reason why the other two were in doubt was also because of these two people.

These two people are not doing their job properly, and they actually learned from others to do tomb robbing work. But tomb robbing must be done secretly.

The father of these two men was a reconnaissance soldier. After he was discharged from the army due to disability, he passed on his skills to these two boys.

These two men did not use their abilities for their work, but instead devoted themselves to cleaning up the tomb.

They were able to confuse the people who were secretly watching them, which showed that they had really learned the skills from Zi. If they were sent to the front line, they might really earn a name for themselves.

Yun Meng valued talent, so he asked the old housekeeper to arrange the man to the border to train under Lord Yun for a few years, and he would become a good man in the future.

As for tomb robbing, this skill is probably lost.

The old housekeeper was very upset after hearing this, and was also speechless about those two boys. They were just making trouble because of poverty.

One of the remaining three men was a man of Emperor Yong'an. After Emperor Yong'an's death, this man defected to the young emperor and became the right prime minister.

Their task is to keep an eye on the manor under the name of Prince Qi's Mansion. If there is any big move by Prince Qi's Mansion, there will definitely be unusual movements among the people in the manor.

But the Right Prime Minister never expected that the people in the Prince of Qi’s mansion had not made any move yet, so he checked himself first.

All suspicious persons were pinned down, leaving them no chance to pass on messages.

By this time, most of the people in the village had left, and the Right Prime Minister had not received the news.

The identities of the remaining two are much more interesting. One was bribed by Dongqing Kingdom and became a traitor, secretly monitoring the movements of the Prince of Qi's Mansion and the State of Yan.

Another one turned out to be a spy planted by the Zhou family. The Zhou family had long had ambitions towards the Prince of Qi's Palace.

Yunmeng felt very disappointed. When the old princess was alive, she took good care of the Zhou family, and the Zhou family benefited a lot from it. Even when the Prince of Qi was alive, he also took good care of the Zhou family.

As a result, he had already had ambitions towards the Prince of Qi's Palace.

I think that when the Prince Qi's Mansion was in the most difficult time, the servants who came as dowry from the Zhou family left. It was also at the suggestion of the Zhou family that they went back to their master's home.

However, the Zhou family did not expect that a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the Prince Qi’s Mansion actually made a comeback.

Although his reputation to the outside world is still poor, his military strength is high.

In troubled times, money is not the most important thing; high military strength is the most important thing.

After dealing with the problematic people, Yunmeng followed the old housekeeper to take a look around the farm. The crops were growing well, but it was a pity that they didn't seem to have a chance to harvest them.

Yunmeng didn't think it was a pity. If they didn't collect them, someone else would. As long as they didn't rot in the fields, it would be fine.

The last farm we visited was a pig farm. The pigs raised there were very fat and a restaurant had already placed an order.

The older ones have all been sold, and now what's left are the piglets. The old housekeeper feels very painful looking at the piglets.

It would be a pity to kill them, but it would be inconvenient to carry them with them. They have to walk a long way, and if they really want to carry the piglets with them, they won’t be able to travel fast.

"Keep raising the piglets. After the people leave, I will arrange for someone else to dispose of them so they won't be wasted."

Yunmeng whispered something at the side, and the old butler immediately smiled and said, "It's a good idea to sell it. If he wasn't afraid of alerting the enemy, he would have arranged for someone to sell it long ago."

It’s also good to sell it after they leave, it’s good.

After taking a walk around, the two returned to the city through the secret passage. On the way, they talked about the shop again. The goods in the shop were being cleared out and there was not much to replenish.

When they evacuate, not only will the shop be empty, but there won't be much left.

The only troublesome thing is the pharmacy. Everything else is easy to clear out, but the pharmacy is difficult.

The most important thing is that the pharmacy also provides body-hardening medicine to Prince Qi’s Palace. It really cannot stop. It cannot stop.

Moreover, they also had to prepare body-hardening medicines for use on the road. Due to the war, these medicines were not only expensive but also difficult to obtain.

If the pharmacy closes, it will be even more difficult to get the body-hardening medicine.

The old butler sighed when talking about this. They were all problems. Before the princess came back, the old butler had to deal with all these problems. It was so tiring.

Now that Yunmeng is back, the old housekeeper hopes that Yunmeng can find a solution.

“A herbal medicine shop has opened in the northwest, and body-hardening medicine is also being collected. We just need to ensure that there are medicines to use on the road.

As for the missing parts, you ask someone to make a list and I will find a way to fix them.”

"Okay." The old housekeeper's face was full of smiles. It turned out that the princess had the solution.
