Chapter 228
Reluctantly, the two separated and worked on their own, until it was dark before Qi Yanling finally returned to the General's Mansion.

Zhao Linxiu hasn't come back yet.

Not only Zhao Linxiu, Mr. Duanmu and others have not come back yet, Nanfeng came back and told him that Zhao Linxiu asked the remaining soldiers to set up camp outside the city, and now he is still discussing with some lieutenants about something.

Qi Yanling just nodded slightly when she heard the words, and asked Zhu Xin to prepare hot water, and Zhao Linxiu could take a hot bath when she came back later.

"Miss, Meng Ying and Jiang He are here!" Not long after Nanfeng was sent away by Qi Yanling, she ran back excitedly and said to her.

"Why are they here?" Qi Yanling stood up abruptly, didn't Jiang He go to investigate the prince's privately made weapons?Why are you with Meng Ying? Did the two meet?

Before she had time to think about it, Qi Yanling had already come to the hall to meet them.

When Jiang He and Meng Ying saw Qi Yanling walking in, they both bowed and saluted, "Miss."

"How did you two meet each other? Did you find out something?" Qi Yanling didn't want to say some polite words at this time. Jiang He and Meng Ying were going to investigate the prince's privately made weapons, and it was inevitable that they would appear here at the same time. not simple.

The two looked at each other, and Meng Ying stood up and said, "Miss, this subordinate and Jiang He met by chance. I heard that you came to Xijiang, so... we came together."

Qi Yanling smiled and said, "Are you still worried that I will be in danger? How can I be in danger in Xijiang City?"

If Master Qi hadn't taken Wan Yantuo's rear, forcing Wan Yantuo to retreat, the eldest lady would be in great danger.However, neither of them said this.

Jiang He said in a deep voice, "Miss, the matter you asked your subordinates to investigate has already become clear."

Qi Yanling's spirit was shaken, this must be the main reason why they came to find her! "It's really related to the prince?"

"The prince bought private iron from the people two years ago, but the prince did not directly intervene in the affairs of the private weapon workshop. It was a person named Gongsun Yang who contacted him, and the person who sold the weapons to Xiguo and Huangyuan Gongsun Yang." Jiang He said, this is the news he found out with great difficulty, if it is not [-]% authentic, he would not dare to say that he knew about it with Qi Yanling.

Qi Yanling frowned and pondered, it seems that the prince is not so stupid, and knows to pick himself out, but, after all, it is done in his name, does he really think he can clean it?

"Then who is Gongsun Yang?" No matter in ancient times or modern times, the most confidential and profitable business is weapons. If you want to come to the prince, you just want to make money. You probably never thought that Xiguo and Huangyuan would have planned to attack Jinguo long ago. country.

Jiang He said, "Gongsun Yang was originally a merchant in Huaiyang, and his family was engaged in private railway business, but he was used by the crown prince for some reason."

Qi Yanling asked again, "Where is the workshop?"

It is a capital offense to manufacture weapons privately. For so long, even Zhao Linxiu has not found out where their headquarters is, which shows how secret this workshop is.

"In the deep mountains of the border town, adjacent to the border of Jingguo, it's very secretive. If no one guides you, you can't go in at all." Jiang He said, if he hadn't followed Gongsun Yang, killed his confidant, and replaced that confidant with him. Going in together, if you want to know so clearly, you may not be able to find out after ten or eight years of investigation.

This is almost the same as what Qi Yanling guessed before, but she still has a doubt that she has not yet answered. Who encouraged the prince to make weapons privately, who led him to sell the weapons to Xiguo and the wilderness, and the most important thing is, How did the prince build such a secret place on the border of the country of Xi.

If there is no internal response from the people of Xiguo, she would not believe it at all.

The only answer is that there are people from Xiguo beside the prince!
This can explain why the prince did such a stupid thing that did not benefit Jing Guo at all. He was not out of his mind, but was misled and used.

"One more thing..." Meng Ying looked at Qi Yanling hesitantly, faltering and not knowing how to speak.

"What's wrong?" Qi Yanling asked.

Meng Ying said in a deep voice, "Master Feng seemed to have met Ye Yunfei before leaving the capital. When the subordinates went to investigate, they found that Master Feng had lost news. I'm afraid..."

"He has seen Ye Yunfei?" Qi Yanling's eyes were slightly cold.

"Miss, although we can't find any relationship with Ye Yunfei about the private weapon making, he is the prince's confidant after all, so he must know a thing or two." Meng Ying said, because of Qi Yanling's previous relationship with Ye Yunfei, He didn't dare to speak too clearly.

If he wanted to know about the weapons workshop, he would have to ask Ye Yunfei carefully to find out. He didn't believe that guy didn't know anything about it, he's a liar!
Qi Yanling nodded lightly, and said with a faint smile, "Go down and rest, and when the prince comes back, you will tell him the matter in detail."

Seeing that Qi Yanling didn't mention Feng Zhaochuo and Ye Yunfei much, Jiang He and Meng Ying didn't say much, bowed before retreating.

They were worried that Qi Yanling would be in danger in Xijiang City, so they drove for ten days and ten nights overnight. They were indeed hungry and tired at this time, and if they didn't lie down to rest, they might collapse.

After talking with Jiang He and the others, the sky outside had completely darkened, the sky was like black silk, without a trace of moonlight or starlight, Qi Yanling held Zhu Xin's hand, and returned to the house with the faint light.

She knew that Feng Zhaochuo was in Wanyantuo's hands, but she didn't know what Wanyantuo's purpose was. Since he told her this before retreating, he obviously wanted to use Feng Zhaochuo to threaten her.

But she couldn't tell Zhao Linxiu about this, because she still didn't know what purpose Wan Yantuo had.

"Are you back?" As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Zhao Linxiu standing on the stone steps still in black armor.

Qi Yanling's eyes brightened slightly, temporarily suppressing all doubts, and quickly walked in front of him, "Have you been waiting for me for a long time? I'm going to see Jiang He and Meng Ying."

"I just arrived." Zhao Linxiu took her hand and walked into the room, "Why are they here?"

"I'm afraid I'm in danger." Qi Yanling smiled, "Let them go to rest, and you can ask them about other things tomorrow."

Zhao Linxiu saw that dinner was prepared in the room, and his tense expression softened, "I'll take a bath first, and come out to eat with me."

Qi Yanling helped him take off the armor on his body.

"Don't worry, I'll do it myself if you can't handle it." Zhao Linxiu said with a smile, bowed his head and kissed the corner of her mouth.

His stubble made her tender skin ache slightly, Qi Yanling smiled and pushed him away, "It's really like a black bear."

Zhao Linxiu smiled softly and looked at her with burning eyes.

Qi Yanling became ashamed and annoyed by her look, "Aren't you going to take a bath?"

"You help me wipe my back." Zhao Linxiu said ambiguously with his arms around her.

"You have a good idea!" Qi Yanling glared at him.
