Zhang Song said quickly, "No, it's a good thing that your Majesty is well. But An Guo has evil ambitions. If he wants Wu Guo to surrender, what should we do?"

After hearing this, the ministers fell silent for a moment. This was indeed possible!

Zhang Song saw that the ministers had listened to him, so he said seriously, "Only by letting Anguo know that we have a new ruler in Wuguo can we make Anguo lose money and have a chance to welcome His Majesty back!"

Even the ministers who were loyal to the emperor thought it made sense, so they turned their attention to King Danyang!

But King Danyang said nothing and just watched the ministers discuss. He was actually very happy in his heart.

Queen Xiao Yan clenched her fists and asked seriously, "You want to support King Danyang? Why don't you ask me what I think?"

Zhang Song replied very straightforwardly, "Your Majesty, please consider the people of the world and the emperor, and support the King of Danyang to succeed to the throne!"

Most of the queen's ministers agreed, so she gritted her teeth and said, "But I am already pregnant with your majesty's child. How can you pass the throne to someone else when your majesty has an heir?"

The ministers in the court, including Zhang Song, were speechless. If Your Majesty had children, the throne would definitely not be passed on to his brothers.

Seeing that she had calmed down the ministers, Xiao Yan looked at King Danyang and said, "King Danyang, I wonder if you can keep a good eye on this throne for my unborn child?"

"I will work diligently and live up to your majesty's kindness."

After the King of Danyang replied respectfully, he changed the subject and asked, "What if the Queen is pregnant with a daughter?"

Xiao Yan's face turned pale, and she said firmly, "We'll have to wait until the baby is born!"

The ministers were relieved after hearing this, and they bowed quickly, saying in unison, "Your Majesty, you are wise!"

……

Wuguo Imperial City, outside the Korean Palace

Ren Ruyi and Wang Yuedahu had dinner together. When it was getting dark and all the ministers had gone to the palace, they came to the outside of the Duke of Korea's mansion.

Seeing Wang Yue trying to climb over the wall, she smiled and stopped him, "You guys just stay here and I'll go in by myself."

Wang Yue was a little surprised. He didn't expect Ren Ruyi to go in alone. But he didn't say much. He just reminded her, "The girl should be careful."

Ruyi nodded, climbed over the wall lightly, and entered the courtyard of Duke Hanguo.

After Wang Dahu and Ruyi's figures disappeared, he said uncertainly, "Master, does Miss Ren just want us to have dinner with her and then stand guard?"

Wang Yue's forehead was dark, and he said unhappily, "She wanted to see if we were sincere. After half a day, she probably confirmed that we had no ill intentions, so she was willing to let us pick her up."

Wang Dahu finally understood what was going on, and he quickly said, "Master, should we go see if Zhao is at home?"

Wang Yue hesitated for a moment, then said seriously, "No hurry, let's wait until Ren Ruyi comes out."

"Why are you going to look for Zhao Ji?"

As soon as Wang Yue finished speaking, Ren Ruyi's voice suddenly came over.

Wang Yue looked back and asked curiously, "You found the map so quickly?"

Ren Ruyi casually threw the map to Wang Yue and said calmly, "You can take a look at it and then give it back to me."

Wang Yue looked at the map in his hand and asked in confusion, "How do you know I'm interested in maps?"

Ren Ruyi glanced at Wang Yue, and then casually said, "Just now in the study of Lord Han Guo, I accidentally saw a border feng shui map, which marked three villages on the border of Wu'an, which clearly formed a horn, and your Ping'an Village was one of them.

Didn't you say that An Guo had already won? This thing may be useless to An Guo, but it may be useful to you. This is my token of joining the group."

Seeing Ren Ruyi so straightforward, Wang Yue bowed to her and said, "Young lady, you are so generous! I thank you on behalf of the brothers in the village."

Chapter 231 Testing each other!

Ruyi did not comment on Wang Yue's thanks, and continued to ask, "Since we are in the same group, can you tell me what you originally wanted to do?"

Wang Yue knew that this woman was quite sensitive, so he didn't hide it and explained with a smile, "We originally had cooperation with the Minister of War, Mr. Zhou, but I didn't expect that he died some time ago. I was worried that our cooperation with Mr. Zhou would be discovered by the Six Paths Hall.

If they blame us for the emperor's defeat in the expedition, we will die unjustly."

Ruyi suddenly realized, and really asked, "So you want to capture the people of Liudao Hall and ask if Lord Zhou said anything before he died?"

Wang Yue was not surprised that Ruyi guessed it. He nodded and said, "Miss, you are wise. That's exactly what I thought."

Ren Ruyi hesitated for a moment, then said uncertainly, "You said earlier that the Liudao Hall might be frantically looking for someone to take the blame. How can you be sure that they can find the Zhuyi Guard's headquarters in Wudu?"

Wang Yue said calmly, "Since you have discovered that our three villages are in the same group, you should know that we have our own sources of information.

According to reliable information, a mysterious person went to Qingshi Lane after meeting Zhao Ji, and then disappeared. "

Ren Ruyi immediately understood what Wang Yue meant. She frowned and said, "So you guess that the Zhuyi Guard Wudu branch is in Qingshi Lane, and someone is connected to the Liudao Hall Tiqi?"

Wang Yue nodded and said seriously, "It's very likely. Now that they have made a big mistake, they need a big credit. What greater credit could there be than destroying the branch of the Zhuyi Guards?"

Ren Ruyi felt that what Wang Yue said made sense, so he frowned and said, "Can you confirm who betrayed the Zhuyi Guards?"

Wang Yue shook his head and said seriously, "I don't know, but as long as we go there and wait, we will know the result."

Ren Ruyi frowned and said uncertainly, "I think the spy won't be exposed before the Liudao Hall annihilates the Zhuyiwei branch, so there's no point in waiting."

Wang Yue thought that made sense. He couldn’t wait until someone started killing people before going, right?

He pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "So, we have the same goal again. As long as we catch Zhao Ji or his cronies, we can use it to point out who is the traitor."

Ren Ruyi suddenly turned around and looked at Wang Yue, realizing that Wang Yue was helping her and it could be considered as repaying the favor of the food and grass layout map.

She thought this way of communicating was great, so she asked seriously, "Deal, but when do we start?"

Wang Yue thought about it for a while, and then said, "I think tonight is the best time, because everyone's attention today is on the defeat of Wu State. Zhao Ji or his confidants are thinking of countermeasures right now, so this is the best opportunity to take action."

Ren Ruyi nodded and said simply, "Okay, let's take action at midnight tonight."

……

Wudu, outside Zhao Mansion

Ruyi looked at the gate of the Zhao family in the distance, frowned and said, "This Zhao Ji is so afraid of death. There are so many cavalrymen from the Six Paths Hall patrolling in front of his house. Even if we go in and capture someone, we won't be able to get out."

Wang Yue didn't expect that there would be so many more people, so he said uncertainly, "I'm afraid that Wu Huang was captured because someone betrayed him. Also, I heard that Ning Yuanzhou, the former head of the Six Great Halls, is also in the army. I'm afraid Zhao Ji is afraid that someone will avenge Ning Yuanzhou?"

Ruyi also heard the news during lunch in the afternoon. She frowned and said, "Then what should we do?"

Wang Yue saw that Ruyi was obviously showing weakness by asking him this, so he pretended not to know and said seriously, "We will just watch the door. Whoever comes out of this house last tonight is Zhao Ji's confidant. It will be the same if we arrest his confidants."

Seeing Wang Yue's careful thinking, Ruyi felt a little appreciative, so she nodded and said, "In that case, let's wait."

After the two of them discussed it, they took Da Hu to find a sheltered place and waited.

They waited from the hour of You until halfway through the hour of Xu, before they saw a man walking out of the yard, and the guards patrolling the gate saluted him.

When Wang Dahu saw this, he said to Wang Yue with some surprise, "Master, catch this guy. Just now, those imperial guards saluted him. I think he must be a high-ranking official."

Wang Yue carefully identified the man and found that he was the one who followed Zhao Ji during the day. He smiled and said, "No problem, let's follow him to his house. I don't believe there will be so many people patrolling outside his house."

Ruyi didn't say anything, but took the lead to cross the alley on the side and went to the front to follow the person who came out.

Wang Yue and Da Hu also hurriedly followed. The three of them passed through six alleys in a row before they saw the man stop at the gate of Lou's mansion.

When Ruyi saw this, he frowned and said to Wang Yue, "It seems to be here. Come in with me and let your subordinate guard outside."

Wang Dahu wanted to refute, but Wang Yue patted Dahu on the shoulder, and together with Ruyi, they climbed into the yard and quietly came to the man's study.

After he entered the study, he flipped through the books there while waiting for the noise in the mansion to quiet down.

Half an hour had passed, and just as Wang Yue and Ruyi were about to find the bedroom, footsteps were heard at the door, and then someone said, "Stay outside, and don't come in without my order."

"Yes!"

Several powerful voices responded almost in unison.

Wang Yue and Ruyi looked at each other, but neither saw any shock in the other's eyes. They both understood in their hearts that the other had guessed that this person would definitely enter the study tonight.

Come to think of it, knowing that I might be liquidated, I have to clean up some unnecessary things today.

As the door opened, a man came in holding a lantern, turned around and closed the door, then prepared to light the candle in the study.

However, after he lit the candle, he suddenly felt something cold placed on his neck.

He was about to shout out a warning in fear, but he was tapped several times on the body and could no longer speak.

Ruyi looked at Wang Yue in surprise. She didn't expect that Wang Yue, a bandit leader, could know such acupoint pressing techniques. Isn't this something only available in big martial arts sects?

However, she did not ask about Wang Yue's privacy, but asked in a low voice, "Now that we have caught him, what should we do next?"

Wang Yue hesitated for a moment, then pointed at the window behind him and whispered, "Let's take him away from there and find a safe place to interrogate him!"

Ruyi did not object. She opened the window first and climbed out. She also supported the window with one hand, signaling Wang Yue to climb out quickly.

Wang Yue jumped out carrying a person. There was a slight noise when he landed, which made him speed up and run towards the distant courtyard wall.

Ruyi judged from Wang Yue's landing movements that Wang Yue's martial arts was probably slightly weaker than hers, but only on par with hers.

After she understood what was going on, she hurriedly followed. Although she started later, she reached the courtyard wall before Wang Yue.

"who?"

Wang Yue and Ruyi had just left when two patrolling guards walked over to where they had left. One of the guards shouted in a low voice in alertness.

"Meow~!"

As he called out, a wild cat flashed out of the darkness.

The other guard breathed a sigh of relief and said in frustration, "It turned out to be a wild cat!"

Both of them relaxed a little. They worked as guards in the Lou Mansion. Although the salary was higher, the punishment would be severe if they made a mistake.

However, these two servants did not notice a problem. While they were doing this, Lou Qingqiang never came out to ask questions.

When Wang Dahu saw Wang Yue carrying a person over, he hurried forward to help Wang Yue catch the person. He was a man with supernatural strength, and he carried Lou Qingqiang as if he was carrying a chicken.

After he took the person over, he asked in a buzzing voice, "Master, where are we going next?"

Wang Yue glanced at Ruyi and found that Ruyi was also looking at him. He didn't want to expose the stronghold of the mountain stronghold. After hesitating for a moment, he smiled and said, "Let's go to the home of Ning Yuanzhou, the former head of the Six Paths Hall. I think people from the Six Paths Hall will not take the initiative to go to Ning Yuanzhou's home."

Ruyi thought it made sense, so she asked in confusion, "Do you know where Ning Yuanzhou's family is?"

Wang Yue pointed to the east and said seriously, "Go east and cross two streets and you will arrive."

Ruyi nodded and said solemnly, “Then we have to do it as soon as possible. I’m worried that once Zhao Ji knows that his confidant has been arrested tomorrow, he will get into trouble.

Although Zhao Ji doesn't know about our existence, he will suspect Ning Yuanzhou, and then we will be caught in the trap."

Wang Yue nodded and said quickly, "Then let's go over and interrogate him as soon as possible. After we find the evidence, we will go to Qingshi Lane."

Ruyi agreed to Wang Yue's idea. He walked along the wall and ran towards the distant block.

……

Wudu, Ningfu

Lou Qingqiang didn't even have to endure a few rounds of interrogation before he took the initiative to confess the traitor in the Zhuyi Guards. He immediately asked in a flattering manner, "Sir, I have told you everything. Can you please just treat me like a fart?"

Wang Yue didn't expect this man to be so cowardly, so he smiled and said, "There's no rush for this. I heard that you arrested and killed Minister Zhou. I wonder what treasures you got from him? But I heard that he has a fortune worth billions. I wonder if you can give us half of it?"

When Lou Qingqiang heard this, he thought that this was for money, so he quickly said, "My lord, please understand. Minister Zhou died before we could interrogate him for long. We also took his body and forced him to press his handprints, and then we sealed off his house.

But we really don’t know where he hid the money, and the amount we were told doesn’t match up at all.”

Chapter 232: The kill was very quick!

Wang Yue raised his eyebrows. This piece of news was very important. It seemed that all the money from transactions over the years had been hidden by Minister Zhou.

But it might not be easy to hide it so that Liudaotang can't find it, and there is only one place.

That is what is in Wang’s Trading Company, with only one bill left!

Even if Minister Zhou is dead, the money is theirs!

Wang Yue was very happy, but still pretended to be uncertain and said, "So that's how it is. It seems we have to look for it carefully. However, none of you Six Paths Hall Cavalry have found it, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to find it.

By the way, if you want to survive, you have to do me a favor and find some clothes for the cavalry and accompany us to Qingshi Lane."

How could Lou Qingqiang dare to object at this time? He nodded and said, "This is easy. There are a lot of such clothes in the warehouse of my house. Sometimes when I need to do private things, I ask the guards in the house to wear the clothes of Liudaotang Tiqi and follow me. You just need to go with me once."

Wang Yue saw that Lou Qingqiang didn't seem to be lying, so he smiled and said to Dahu, "Dahu, take some people with you."

When he said this, he winked at Dahu, asking him to act according to the plan.

Da Hu nodded, asked nothing, and left immediately. He was a bandit and was very familiar with this kind of business.
