My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 131 Meeting in Secret
In a quiet inn in Futu City, Wenxin Hou Qinyan, whose pseudonym is Xu Yanqing, was talking secretly with the accompanying secret guards.

"What do Mr. Cui's people say? Have you ever found the burial place of Jiang's body?"

It turned out that as soon as he entered Ling'an City, Qin Yan contacted the spies left by the old Duke Cui. He learned from Miss Cui that the Jiang family was the weak spot of "Wei Chen", so Qin Yan tried every means to find someone. Find out where Jiang's body is.

The secret guard shook his head, "I searched everywhere to no avail. My subordinates guessed that it must have been hidden away by King Yong."

"It's expected." Qin Yan accepted the result calmly.

King Yong and himself must have the same idea, and both want to take advantage of Jiang's weakness as a bargaining chip in future negotiations with Jiang Chen. After all, this is the only person the other party cares about.

As he marched westward, Qin Yan also heard about the frequent looting and massacres at the border. If he had not met Jiang Chen earlier and stopped his revenge, I don't know how many innocent people would have been brutally murdered.

"Miss Cui Wu said that two spies were taken away by the Xirong people along with Jiang Chen. Are those two people still alive now?"

"They are still alive and have been following Mr. Jiang Chen. These two people later appeared in some cities and secretly left secret messages, which were discovered by the Cui family's spies."

"That's great," Qin Yan said with joy on his face, "quickly send someone to speak to Old Duke Cui's people and ask them to secretly contact the two spies and send a message for me. I want to see Jiang Chen. , the time and place are decided by him.”

The secret guard looked hesitant and said worriedly: "Master Marquis, is this too risky? Mr. Jiang Chen is now working for the Xirong people, helping the tyrants to persecute so many people. If he reports you to the Xirong people, wouldn't you? A sheep entering a tiger's mouth?"

"I don't care about that anymore. He is the son of Prince Yixian. I believe he will not be willing to be slaughtered. If I lose the bet, I have betrayed the divine grace and have no shame to return to the court to see His Majesty. It is better to die loyally." Good name."

Qin Yan said calmly that from the moment he left the capital, he had put life and death aside.

"Yes, Lord Marquis, I understand." The secret guard said no more, turned around and left.

Qin Yan opened the window, looked at the people coming and going in the unfamiliar city, and sighed: "It's an eventful spring." For several days, Qin Yan was active in Futu City as a grain merchant. Several big merchants in the city When they heard that another big grain merchant had arrived and that he was from the Xu family in Shengjing, they all enthusiastically posted a message to entertain him.

Qin Yan refused to refuse anyone who came, and "drunk and dreamed" with the local gentry every day, promising huge profits, and secretly found out a lot of news about the border and Xirong government from their mouths.

I heard that three months ago, the second prince of Xirong Khan had a new young counselor from Dayong, known as Governor Yu.He then guessed that the so-called Governor Yu must be Jiang Chen.

His mother Jiang's maiden name was Jiang Yu. He took the surname Yu in memory of his deceased mother.

Another half month passed like this, just when Qin Yan was feeling bored, news finally came from the secret guard.

Jiang Chen agreed to meet him, and the date was set at "Wanchun Tower" five days later.

This is a famous fireworks place in Futu City. Since Jiang Chen made an appointment with him in the name of buying grain, the choice of "Wanchun Tower" is in line with the preferences and rules of local businessmen.

Before going to the banquet, Qin Yan took a closer look at his current appearance: he has a clear face, plain appearance, shrewd words and deeds, and looks like a businessman through and through. Even his own family may not recognize him if they see him.

He nodded with satisfaction. His identity and whereabouts were not exposed along the way, thanks to the help of the Xu family.

In this Xu family's grain caravan going west, except for him and a few secret guards who pretended to be other people's identities and got into it, the rest of the entourage were all genuine Xu family members.

No one ever became suspicious.

In the 23rd year of Qianyuan, on April [-], Qin Yan came to the "Wanchun Tower" as scheduled and rushed to a banquet where he didn't know whether he would live or die.
