Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 640 Was this young master worried that she might be in danger?
"What? She didn't go back?" Gong Wei, who was standing to the side, exclaimed in surprise after hearing Hai Dong's words.

"This is still uncertain. No one has seen her return. However, when Master Quan woke up, he found a letter on the table in the room. When he opened it, he found that she had written it. The gist of it was that she suddenly remembered that she had other things to do and would not return for the time being. She was not sure when she would return, so she asked them to wait for her in Red Willow City."

Based on the handwriting, Master Quan and his colleagues were able to confirm that it was indeed her handwriting.

However, it's uncertain whether she left it there after going back, or whether someone else delivered it for her. Hai Dong, who had just been interrupted by Gong Wei, now spoke up and told everyone he knew.

Then, he saw that his own young master's face was even more unpleasant and darker.

Seeing that Murong Jing's expression was off, Gong Wei wanted to say something, but after thinking it over, he felt that he didn't know what to say. Just then, a guard reported that something had happened, so he quickly went out.

Although he hadn't spent much time with Hong Xiaoduo, based on what he learned from his son Tianquan and what he observed himself, Gong Wei had basically figured out what kind of person Hong Xiaoduo was.

She was definitely not like a woman from another family who obeyed her father at home and her husband after marriage, who would be unilaterally submissive to men and have men as the center of her world.

Prince Mu, since you have such good taste and have fallen for such a special girl, you certainly can't treat her as an ordinary woman.

The other person hasn't even officially accepted your feelings yet, and you can't even handle this situation, Your Highness? What are you going to do in the future!
Gong Wei was genuinely worried for Murong Jing. Even if the two of them eventually got married and became husband and wife, he couldn't expect her to stay peacefully in the inner quarters, embroidering, playing the zither, and raising children.

There's a saying that goes something like, "If you're a tiger, you should roam the mountains; if you're a dragon, you should stir up the ocean." Anyway, that's roughly the idea.

Hong Xiaoniangzi is no ordinary woman; her thoughts and actions are certainly different from those of other women.

"Master, Tian Shu and the others aren't worried at all, which shows they know her capabilities and that nothing will happen to her. Master, please don't worry," Hai Dong said cautiously, seeing that no one else was around.

Murong Jing glanced coldly at his subordinate and said, "Didn't you personally experience and witness the situation at the military camp outside the city when we arrived? With her abilities, do you think I, the young master, am worried about her being in any danger?"

"That's true, there's probably no one in this world who can hurt her," Hai Dong muttered in agreement.

Thinking back to that time, Hai Dong still gets chills. If he and his three servants had been a little quicker and more efficient, and had been positioned a little further forward, cough cough, they would probably be missing arms and legs, or some other piece of their bodies by now!

Honestly, afterwards he secretly told Yuanxi and Ziming that they were really lucky to be alive this time. Otherwise, it would have been so unjust to die at the hands of their own people!
If His Majesty finds out about this, he might very well consider appointing her to an official position. Anyone with a bit of ambition would want to recruit such a capable person!

……

Hong Xiaoduo, who hadn't returned to Hongliu City, was at a tea stall in a small town, drinking tea with a man who was nearly forty years old.

"This is what you wanted, young master. I've been here for many years and am very familiar with this place. Wouldn't it be more convenient for you to take me with you?" the man pleaded again, unwilling to give up.

Dressed in men's clothing, Hong Xiaoduo smiled and declined again: "No need, I just want to wander around by myself. But thank you anyway, Uncle Wang."

"Alright then, if you need anything, just leave your signal," Wang Dong said with a hint of regret.

The Pavilion Master has spoken, saying that this person should be treated as the owner of the Treasure Pavilion, and that any needs she has should be met to the best of his ability—money, people, and information.

They weren't entirely clear on the nature of this person's relationship with the Pavilion Master, or what connection they had. However, the Pavilion Master had never treated anyone so specially before, which meant that this person was very important to the Pavilion Master. Those of them who were working under him simply needed to follow orders.

After Wang Dong left, Hong Xiaoduo took out a silver coin and placed it on the tea table. Then, she picked up the things Wang Dong had given her, got up, and left to find an inn. This small town was only a little over a hundred miles away from Baishi City. Although the fall of Hongliu City and the events at the Baishi City military camp had caused some panic among the people, it wasn't as panicked as it was in Hongliu City. All the shops in this small town were open.

Hong Xiaoduo found an inn on the main street, registered using the travel permit Wang Dong had given her, and asked for a superior room. Seeing that it was still early for dinner and she wasn't very hungry, she decided to go into the room to rest and check on the things she had just acquired.

Hong Xiaoduo discovered that Yunwu Kingdom and Fengliang Kingdom spoke the same language with no difference in accent, and their clothing was also similar, so Hong Xiaoduo did not feel any inconvenience.

The reason Hong Xiaoduo didn't agree to let Wang Dong come along was that she felt it would be more convenient for her to go alone.

At first, I decided not to return to Red Willow City simply because I wanted to avoid Murong Jing. As a freelancer, I was not under anyone's control and was very free.

Although Murong Jing doesn't hold an official position, he's still doing official business for the emperor. I don't believe he can outlast me. Let's see how long he can stay here!
After walking along the way, Hong Xiaoduo thought to herself, "Since we're already here, we shouldn't just wander around aimlessly."

Thinking about the benefits that resolving Baishi City would bring to Gong Wei's army, she made a plan.

After contacting the people at Duobaoge, they obtained national and defense maps of various regions in Yunwu Kingdom where troops were stationed. They didn't intend to use bombs everywhere anymore; they just wanted to take away all the food and supplies from the military camps near Hongliu City.

Without supplies, even if they wanted to retake Red Willow City, they would have to find a way to wait for the supplies to arrive.

There are many advantages to doing this. First, it can delay the enemy's time to recapture Hongliu City, and it can also give the Gong family army enough time to wait for more reinforcements and supplies.

Another thing is that the grain and supplies he took will be left for the Gong family army to use later.

Furthermore, this will definitely throw the enemy into a panic.

The supplies and provisions couldn't have just disappeared without a trace. How many troops from Fengliang Kingdom had infiltrated the country without being detected?
If you're traveling alone, you can enter the space directly if you're thirsty, hungry, encounter danger, or want to rest in the wild.

If she brought someone else along, it wouldn't be so convenient, which is why she firmly refused Wang Dong's offer.

The more times I succeed here, the less pressure Hongliucheng will be under, and the safer Tian Shu and the others will be, not to mention that Brother Quan and Brother Dong are here too.

Thinking about it this way, Hong Xiaoduo felt that she was too smart, achieving multiple benefits at once!
Although the town was small and the inn was not very big, the service I received as a guest in one of the only two top-class rooms was truly exceptional.

They brought local snacks, hot water for bathing, and even free laundry services for clothes that needed washing.

After locking the door, Hong Xiaoduo simply took off her boots and socks and soaked her feet to relax.

I took a shower in my online space last night. With the current weather and temperature, I don't need to shower every day.

While soaking her feet, she looked at the map Wang Dong had given her. Not only were the routes drawn in great detail, but even the names, ages, hometowns, character, and misdeeds of the generals stationed at each location were clearly written.

"As expected of someone from the Treasure Pavilion, I'll plan this out carefully, where to start, and how to avoid taking unnecessary detours." Hong Xiaoduo used her mind to take out a pen and started drawing circles on the drawing board.

Murong Jing should have returned to Red Willow City by now, right?

Will he know if I didn't go back? Was I trying to avoid him...?
