My chat group is full of female losers

Chapter 379 Identity Exposed
Shen Yanchen was completely baffled, and finally decided to investigate herself to find out what the emperor was really up to.

As night deepened, apart from the patrolling soldiers, there was no other living creature in the military camp.

Shen Yanchen, carrying a bowl of ginseng soup that had been prepared beforehand, arrived at Chu Lu's tent with practiced ease.

"Eunuch Lu." The two guards at the tent entrance bowed immediately upon seeing her.

"Your Majesty has worked hard all day, so I've specially brought you some ginseng soup to soothe your nerves." Shen Yanchen said in a high-pitched voice, imitating the shrewish and obsequious tone of a eunuch.

The guards were very familiar with Shen Yanchen, so they had no suspicions and stepped aside to make way for him: "Thank you for your trouble, Eunuch."

"You two have worked hard too," Shen Yanchen said politely, then stepped forward.

She had already made up her mind that once inside, she would immediately reveal her identity, subdue Chu Lu, and force him to reveal the truth.

Anyway, he's already been abandoned, and the group leader isn't around, so there's nothing for me to be afraid of!

However, when she lifted the heavy curtain and went inside, she was stunned.

Inside the imperial tent, candlelight blazed brightly, and the bedding on the dragon bed was neatly arranged, but no one was in sight.

Chu Lu isn't inside!

Shen Yanchen's heart sank. She casually placed the ginseng soup on the table and immediately began to search carefully.

She quickly walked to the bedside and immediately noticed a set of clothes thrown at the foot of the bed. It was Chu Lu's military uniform that he had worn during the day, now abandoned there. This meant that he had changed his clothes before leaving.

She then looked at the desk, on which lay a huge "Topographical Exploration Map of the Black Wind Mountains." The map was not only heavily marked, but also featured a winding route drawn with cinnabar ink.

The route was also covered with tiny handwriting, with markings such as "This route is too far to escape from," clearly indicating that they were researching possible escape routes.

As Shen Yanchen carefully examined the picture, her expression gradually became serious, and a guess began to take shape in her mind.

To verify her idea, she immediately opened the chat group for female protagonists.

Shen Yanchen: "Su Lianyue, where are you now?"

After a moment of silence in the group chat, Su Lianyue lazily replied, "Where else could I be? The emperor displayed his divine might and returned victorious, so of course I had to run away. I'm currently in the mountains with a few greasy, ordinary men, it's so annoying."

Shen Yanchen pressed further, "What mountain?"

Su Lianyue: "I think it was called something like Black Wind Mountain? Does anyone remember clearly?"

boom!
Su Lianyue's answer was like a thunderbolt, leaving Shen Yanchen's mind blank.

She understood instantly.

Chu Lu, who had disappeared without a trace, had changed his clothes and found a detailed map... Chu Lu had gone to hunt down Su Lian Yue!
Shen Yanchen was initially struck by the absurdity of the situation, as it was utterly inexplicable, but then she fell into even deeper confusion.

How did Chu Lu know that Su Lian Yue had escaped to Black Wind Mountain? And why did he keep it a secret from everyone and go after her alone?

He was just a mortal emperor with no power to even kill a chicken, which makes no sense at all!

Just then, Shen Yanchen's gaze inadvertently swept under the bed, and a black hem of clothing suddenly peeked out from under the bed.

A thought struck her, and she walked over and pulled the thing out.

It was a jet-black night-clothes and a mask of a demon with blue faces and fangs.

Shen Yanchen froze, then his pupils slowly dilated.

"This, this is...!" She stared in disbelief, barely able to speak.

The things in front of them were the clothes that the group leader wore when he beat the third princess so badly that she had to flee in a sorry state!
Why would the group owner's belongings end up in the emperor's tent?
Could it be...

A startling thought suddenly pierced through her mind. She jolted awake, no longer caring about anything else, and immediately tagged Fei Wu.

Shen Yanchen: "Minister Fei Wu! Minister Fei Wu!! Minister Fei Wu!!! It's an emergency!"

Her string of mentions and exclamation marks instantly startled almost everyone. The leading ladies looked at the chat group interface with expressions of surprise and doubt, and for a moment they even held their breath.

The next moment, Fei Wu's reply arrived, her words revealing deep displeasure: "What nonsense are you spouting? You'd better really have something terrible happen to you, or you'd better be prepared for it to happen."

Shen Yanchen: "Minister! The Emperor is missing! He went alone to the Black Wind Mountains in the dead of night to hunt down Su Lianyue!"

Fei Wu frowned: "Hmm? Going to hunt down Su Lian Yue alone in the middle of the night? What's wrong with that emperor?"

Shen Yanchen: "Minister! That's not all! I also found the clothes and mask that the group leader wore when he defeated the Third Princess under his bed."

Upon receiving this message, Fei Wu, who was far away in her mansion in the capital, showed a blank expression for the first time, her languid demeanor turning dazed.

She was stunned.

In the next second, countless seemingly unrelated details were connected.

Why would the group owner care so much about a mortal emperor?
Why couldn't I find the group owner on my first visit?
Why was the group leader able to disappear without a trace, even under the watchful eyes of the surrounding female protagonists, after Xiao Jiu was killed in the palace?

Why did Changhong's attempt to assassinate the emperor fail?
Why did the emperor suddenly disappear when the group owner was beating up the Third Princess?
Why……

All the "whys" were answered at this moment.

A ridiculously simple answer.

The group leader they had been searching for, and the mortal emperor they had been using as bait, were actually the same person!

They were scammed!
They were played by the group owner from beginning to end!

"Heh...hehe..." Fei Wu let out a low, sinister laugh. "Interesting, very interesting..."

The next moment, he spoke in the group chat: "Listen up, everyone. The emperor is the group admin!"

The news caused an uproar in the group chat.

Third Princess: "What?!"

Changhong: "Impossible! How could this be!"

Si Ren: "That useless emperor is the group owner?! Are you kidding me?!"

Ignoring their shock, Fei Wu issued her final order: "I will depart for Black Wind Mountain immediately. Anyone nearby, go there right now! But before I arrive, none of you are to make contact with him!"

After all, if the group leader could easily defeat the Third Princess, he could easily defeat others as well. Therefore, approaching rashly would be pointless except for suicide and alerting the group leader. Fei Wu was well aware of this.

Seeing Fei Wu's serious expression, the leading ladies in the group naturally dared not say anything more.

"Yes, Minister!"

"As ordered!"

Having given the order, Fei Wu closed the chat group. She slowly rose, her scarlet skirt trailing in a seductive arc on the floor.

She walked to the window and looked in the direction of the Black Wind Mountains.

Her eyes were tinged with the red of blood-stained blades, and her voice was filled with a morbid, desperate scream: "Little mouse... I've finally caught your tail."

Before she finished speaking, her figure transformed into a streak of red light, soaring into the sky, tearing through the night, and flying towards the Black Wind Mountains at an astonishing speed.
