Chapter 48 Master Lu Arrives

After the others left, Mu Qingqing sat in the chair in a daze. This was all she could do. She didn't know if she could turn the situation around.

Banxia and Qinghe looked at each other and said, "Miss, Akatsuki is really useful. They noticed the abnormality so quickly!"

Mu Qingqing felt a chill all over her body. Yes, there was still this matter that had not been resolved. Mu Qingqing quickly sorted out all the reported information and checked it bit by bit.

I didn't expect that there really were some things about Kuixian, such as the county magistrate colluding with officials in the capital and embezzling money, but there was nothing else.

But it doesn't matter, this is enough.

The heavy rain in the capital has not stopped, and the same is true for the surrounding areas.

King Han was looking at the heavy rain outside, while the soldiers around him were still talking about attacking the bandit's lair.

"King Han, now is a good opportunity. The bandits will definitely not be prepared when it rains heavily."

"We are in danger too. If we are washed down the river, I'm afraid few of the soldiers will survive!"

The river was too turbulent and if you fell in, you would disappear without a trace. The bridge was also very slippery and the guardrails were damaged.

If the soldiers eat their meals, I'm afraid it will be too late to rescue them.

"King Han, the timing is perfect now. If we miss this opportunity..."

Everyone was waiting for King Han's order, hoping that it would be decided whether to attack or not.

King Han knocked on the window and frowned. The heavy rain in recent days had left them with little food left. They had no way of replenishing their supplies and even feeding the soldiers became a problem.

But if we attack the bandit's lair now and something unexpected happens, wouldn't that soldier's life be in jeopardy?
The morale of the soldiers was low, including the lieutenants and counselors. This was not a solution.

"We'll wait one more day tomorrow. If there's no sign of weakening, we'll start attacking the bandits the day after tomorrow!"

"Yes, King Han!"

The terrain where everyone was located was relatively high, but the ground still felt very damp. The residence was temporarily provided by Kui County, so at least it wouldn't leak.

On the second day, the rain did not abate as expected, and the soldiers had to prepare to attack the bandits on rainy days. Although the soldiers had complaints, King Han was strict in his military discipline, so there was no panic.

The soldiers began to prepare for tomorrow, but King Han frowned, feeling vaguely uneasy.

Chen Yao stood behind him and said, "Your Majesty, it is really unwise to attack the bandits tomorrow. It is better to delay it for a few days and wait until the rain stops before attacking."

"I know, but how can those people let me wait any longer?"

"And they are right about one thing. Kui County is already poor and has no extra food to supply us. If the military runs out of food, I'm afraid the soldiers will starve."

King Han muttered to himself, wondering what went wrong, or what he had missed!
When it was time for dinner, people were still talking about the plan to attack the bandits tomorrow. King Han rarely interrupted and listened carefully.

When it was time to rest at night, King Han couldn't fall asleep with his eyes open. In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard a noise outside.

It seemed that someone was talking to Chen Yao. King Han put on his clothes and opened the door. "Chen Yao, who are you talking to?"

The two heard the noise and looked back.

Master Lu quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it was Miss Mu who asked me to come!"

She was soaked to the skin, and even wearing a raincoat was useless; her body was sticky, her face was pale, and she was shivering all over.

King Han quickly asked Master Lu to come in, "Master Lu, come in quickly, Chen Yao will prepare some ginger water."

"Okay, Your Majesty."

Master Lu didn't hesitate and walked straight into the room.

Prince Han poured her a cup of tea and watched her drink it. "Master Lu, you said Miss Mu asked you to come to me? Is there something urgent?" Master Lu came back to his senses and put down the cup. "Akatsuki has received news that the county magistrate of Kui County is corrupt and has embezzled all the money allocated by the court every year. The bridge has not been repaired for several years. I am afraid that the heavy rain this time will wash the bridge down."

"So, don't attack the bandit's lair in the rain. It's better to wait a few more days."

Since Akatsuki knew that the magistrate of Kui County was corrupt and committed injustice, and Mu Qingqing learned from General Mu that the prince was attacking the bandits, they integrated the two pieces of information and quickly analyzed that the bridge might be washed away.

King Han unconsciously wanted to know if this was Mu Qingqing's analysis? How could a girl be so powerful?

King Han thought in surprise and couldn't help asking, "Master Lu, you said that Mu Qingqing asked you to tell me this? Does she have other advisers around her?"

Master Lu naturally understood what King Han meant. She shook her head and said, "No, Qingqing doesn't have any other advisers around her."

"But I think Qingqing's words are credible!"

The head of Hanwangdi thought for a while and said, "I will ask Chen Yao to check the county magistrate's private treasury and accounts. There should be some clues."

"As for the attack on the bandit's den, I will postpone it for a few more days."

As soon as these words came out, Master Lu realized that King Han believed it, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Qingqing is different from ordinary women. She will definitely be a great help to the prince in the future!"

Prince Han suddenly thought of what Mu Qingqing said that day. Her confidence and assertiveness made him look at her with new eyes.

Chen Yao brought you ginger water, two side dishes and rice.

Master Lu rode all the way from the capital and was in such a hurry, he must not have eaten well.

The dishes are relatively simple, one meat and one vegetable, but they are all hot.

Master Lu didn't complain at all, he just picked up the bowl and started eating.

I haven't seen anyone since this morning, and I've run out of dry food. I've been hungry for most of the day.

Master Lu ate voraciously, which was different from other women's movements. She looked quite generous.

Prince Han thought of Mu Qingqing. They were very similar, especially in character.

No wonder the two of them could become master and apprentice. Master Lu also protects Mu Qingqing very much.

King Han sent Chen Yao to the county magistrate's mansion. Chen Yao was shocked at first, but then he calmed down and said, "Since it was found by Xiao's search, I will go and take a look."

At the same time, his impression of Mu Qingqing changed a lot. It turned out that Mu Qingqing was not completely useless.

Master Lu was not in a hurry to go back, but found a hotel in the county town to stay in. She wanted to watch it with her own eyes and must not let anyone get hurt.

Mu Qingqing has Banxia and Qinghe by her side, and Qingqing also promised her that she will not cause trouble recently, so she is still relieved.

The next morning, King Han called his deputy general and counselor into his room and said, "I have thought about it and I think we cannot send troops now. We still have to wait a few days."

After these words came out, those who were sure of the victory looked at each other in bewilderment. Some people couldn't help but say, "King Han, the matter has been decided. If you regret it now, will it cause instability in the army's morale? And what about the soldiers' food and fodder?"

King Han's eyes were slightly cold as he glanced him up and down. This man had advocated attacking the bandit's lair several times, and now he had no choice but to think about it.

The man felt frightened by being stared at, and felt annoyed. He was too impatient. Why did he do this?

King Han withdrew his gaze calmly, "Yesterday, the spies reported that rocks were washed down by heavy rain on the mountain. The rain outside is still heavy. If a soldier is crushed to death, I will have to report to the court."

After some persuasion, seeing that King Han had made up his mind, the crowd gave up and went back to appease the soldiers.
