Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

Chapter 901 Criticism
The War King went through the events of the Southern Desert in his mind and was about to retrieve the bell he used to contact Tang Wan.

Just then, Zhan Yi came and knocked on the door again.

The War King sat down again and said, "Come in."

Then I saw Zhan Yi walk in carrying a box.

Zhan Yi carefully placed the box on Zhan Wang's desk and said, "This was retrieved from Miss Tang Er's place by our people."

He should have retrieved it a while ago, but he had been busy with one thing after another, so his subordinates hadn't delivered it to him. He had just left when the item arrived.

Upon hearing Zhan Yi's words, Zhan Wang lowered his head and opened the box. He saw a short note written by Tang Wan at the top, which told him that these were three hundred peace charms.

When the War King saw the letter in his hand, he smiled bitterly to himself. He had thought that two or three hundred more would be enough, but after hearing what the Chief Minister Lin said today, he was afraid it wouldn't be enough. He would have to trouble Wan'er again.

Thinking of this, the War King waved his hand gently, signaling Zhan Yi to leave.

After Zhan Yi left, Zhan Wang took out the bell he had carefully kept.

After the bell rang, the War King asked, "Busy?"

"I'm drawing a talisman," Tang Wan replied with a smile.

Before the War King could say anything, Tang Wan asked, "Are we running out of talismans?"

At this time, the War King rarely rings the bell for himself.

The War King was slightly taken aback. Before he could even speak, she had already guessed.

This could be considered a tacit understanding between the two of them, right?
The War King set aside his smugness and replied honestly, "It's not quite enough. How much do you have on your end?"

When Tang Wan heard him ask this, she said, "Wait, let me count."

The bell fell silent. The War King didn't urge him; he simply waited quietly.

After a while, Tang Wan's voice rang out again: "I have two hundred and ten cards on hand now."

This is what I drew without much stopping all morning.

The War King paused slightly with his fingers and said, "With these and what we retrieved this morning, it should be about right."

"That's good," Tang Wan said. "I'll have someone deliver it to the gatehouse; you can come and pick it up anytime."

The War King hummed in agreement, then added after a moment's thought, "If, if possible, Wan'er could draw a few more, just in case."

Tang Wan readily agreed.

The War King wanted to say "Thank you for your hard work," but felt that those three words were too inadequate.

He paused for a moment before saying, "Once this busy period is over, you should take a good rest."

Tang Wan responded softly, without saying anything more.

Although she is a professional talisman drawer, she has been quite tired these past few days, drawing more talismans each day than she has done in the past few years.

I rarely draw talismans on such a large scale. Even when I was leaving the Northern Desert and leaving some spares for Boss Wan, I never drew this many at once.

After a moment of contemplation, the War King recounted how one of the Southern Desert envoys had slipped out the previous night and gone to Jishan Hall.

He didn't go into detail, but he touched on the key points, especially mentioning the previous connection between Jishantang and the Feng family. In addition, people from Nanmo are now flocking there. The two events colliding together are probably not a coincidence.

After listening, Tang Wan was silent for a moment before saying, "Judging from this, Nan Mo and Feng Yongnian must be in cahoots."

“That’s what I think too,” Zhan Wang said. “But we don’t have any solid evidence yet. The Feng family is about to close in. Once we get Feng Yongnian, we’ll know the truth in one trial.” Tang Wan hummed in agreement and then added, “Be careful too. If the Feng family is really a remnant of the Black Witch Clan, their methods are probably not simple.”

“I know,” said the War King, “that’s why your talismans are especially important.”

Actually, he wanted Wan'er to participate, but since they hadn't been arrested yet, it would be fine to wait a few days. He needed to think about what kind of identity would be appropriate for Wan'er to appear in.

Tang Wan was unaware of the War King's concerns, and she didn't say anything more, only saying, "Leave the matter of the talisman to me, don't worry."

There was a moment of silence in the bell, then the War King suddenly said, "Wan'er."

"Hmm?" Tang Wan asked, somewhat puzzled.

The War King paused for a moment, then denied it, saying, "It's nothing. You're busy, I'll call it a minute."

Actually, he didn't mean anything by it; he just missed Wan'er a little, but he was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

The two hung the bells on their heads, and Tang Wan continued drawing her amulets. She wanted to draw more, just in case.

Just as the War King was about to cut the bell, he suddenly remembered that Tang Bojun had said earlier that a suspicious person had also been found at the Tang residence.

There were too many people at the time, so he didn't ask in detail, but now he can finally find out.

So the War King quickly spoke up, "By the way, Wan'er, your father said today that suspicious people were also found at the Tang residence. What exactly happened?"

Tang Wan recounted her investigation of the servants in the Wang family's courtyard yesterday, including how she initially found nothing unusual about the person's appearance, but later discovered a very faint gray aura between the man's eyebrows, which was somewhat similar to that of the wet nurse, thus concluding that the man was somewhat unusual.

After listening, the War King remained silent for a moment before asking, "Has this person's identity been verified?"

When Tang Wan heard the Prince of War ask this, she replied, "Not yet. Steward Li checked his entry records and found that he was newly bought last month. His origin is listed as Baoding Prefecture, but the guarantor can no longer be found. Father's idea is not to alert him yet, but to see who he is in contact with."

Moreover, the information currently available is likely all false.

Tang Wan paused for a moment, then added, "However, I've already placed a tracking talisman on that person. If he makes any unusual moves later, the tracking talisman will help me find him and prevent me from losing him."

The War King thought for a moment. Although Wan'er's talisman was useful, time was of the essence. So he said, "Your father is right. But time is of the essence right now. If we wait for him to contact us, who knows how long we will have to wait."

Tang Wan understood his meaning: "You want to arrest them directly?"

"Hmm," said the War King. "Since this person is acting strangely, keeping him alive would only be a hidden danger. After capturing him, we should interrogate him overnight; perhaps we can find out the whereabouts of the other spies."

Just because the wet nurse couldn't find out the whereabouts of the others doesn't mean this person can't. Besides, everyone has different information, so there might be some useful clues.

Tang Wan thought for a moment before saying, "That works too. That person lives alone in the easternmost room of the back wing. If Your Highness wants to arrest him, we can do so tonight. However..."

"But what?" the War King pressed.

Tang Wan directly voiced her thoughts: "But if he really is a spy from the Southern Desert, he's probably very tough, and ordinary methods might not be able to get him to talk."

Tang Wan paused for a moment, then said, "However, if needed, I can use the Truth Talisman to help you."

Upon hearing Tang Wan's words, the War King also recalled Tang Wan's ability.

He had also seen the Truth Talisman before, and it was indeed very useful.

He just didn't know whether he should let Wan'er step in.

After all, this is the capital city. If people knew about Wan'er's abilities, I'm afraid those busybodies would gossip.

Although Wan'er might not care, she was afraid that other members of the Tang family would have something to say.
