Of course Zhang Song also knew about this situation, otherwise he would not have come to ask Ning Yuanzhou for help. After all, only Ning Yuanzhou had the prestige to integrate Liudaotang under such circumstances.
After listening to Ning Yuanzhou's suggestion, he pretended to be very curious and asked, "How many people are you going to take with you?"
Ning Yuanzhou thought about it for a while, and then said seriously, "Including the one that was rescued by my friend earlier, I only need to take three more."
Zhang Song originally thought that there would be at least a few hundred people, but when he heard that Ning Yuanzhou only brought three, he frowned and said, "Isn't that too few?"
Ning Yuanzhou shook his head and said with certainty, "Four people are enough. After all, if we want to go to the heart of Anguo, no matter how many people we have, we can't have as many as others."
Although Zhang Song was still a little worried, he didn't try to persuade them any further. If the plan failed, he would have other options.
……
Wang Yue, Ruyi, Yuanlu and the other two settled down in a town without any hurry.
Yuanlu didn't react at first, but after a while, he asked suspiciously, "Why don't you go investigate? What if my Ningtou runs away?"
Seeing Yuan Lu pretending to be stupid, Wang Yue said unhappily, "Don't think we don't know that you secretly left a mark. We don't need to take the initiative to look for it, Ning Yuanzhou will definitely find it."
Yuanlu didn't expect Wang Yue to find out, but he didn't want to expose it, so he said a little embarrassedly, "You all know it, so why don't you care about me?"
Wang Yue shrugged and said casually, "We need to contact Ning Yuanzhou anyway, wouldn't it be better if you can help?"
Yuanlu saw that Wang Yue spoke too easily, so he said excitedly, "You guys set up some traps? Are you going to capture Ningtou?"
Wang Yue curled his lips and said unhappily, "What good will it do us if we capture your Ningtou? Besides, aren't you a descendant of the Mohist school? Don't you know if there are any traps?"
Yuanlu opened his mouth and was about to say something, but immediately closed it, looking like a well-behaved boy.
When Wang Yue saw Yuanlu's actions, he said unhappily, "Ning Yuanzhou, since you are here today, why don't you come over and talk? Why are you hiding like this? Don't you plan to catch up with the princess's team?"
"Boss Wang is very clever. He discovered me so quickly!"
Ning Yuanzhou appeared in the yard. While answering, he looked at Wang Yue with some curiosity.
When Wang Yue heard the man calling him Boss Wang, he was shocked at first, thinking that Ning Yuanzhou had already found out the truth about him, but he immediately calmed down.
He felt that this was impossible. It was most likely that this man had heard them interrogating Lou Qingqiang at Ning Yuanzhou's home that day.
Because Yuanlu was not surprised to hear the three words "Boss Wang", he must have heard them before.
He smiled and said, "Master Ning, you are too kind. I am not that great. It's just that you showed a hint of joy, which I saw."
Ning Yuanzhou sat down not far from Wang Yue and said admiringly, "Boss Wang is not only a martial arts expert, but also very good at observing people's expressions. It's really admirable. But Boss Wang saved Yuanlu, what are your requests?"
Wang Yue did not answer, but looked at Ruyi. Seeing that Ruyi had no intention of speaking, he could only speak for himself, "It is like this. Many people in our village have received favors from Queen Zhaojie of Anguo. They are a little suspicious about her death and want to know the truth.
I heard that Liudaotang is very powerful and once went undercover in the capital of Anguo. I wonder if you can help investigate. If you can find out the truth, I will definitely report it to you later."
Ning Yuanzhou didn't expect that the other party knew that he had been undercover, so he asked tentatively, "Although this matter is difficult, it is not impossible to investigate. But you saved Yuanlu, so it's not excessive to ask for this. But, is this the only request you have?"
Wang Yue nodded and said calmly, "For now, this is my request. If the queen died in an accident, then there is nothing to say. If there are other reasons, I am afraid there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Seeing Wang Yue say this, Ning Yuanzhou smiled and said, "I can promise you, but since you said there is a possibility of subsequent cooperation, why don't you two come with us so that you can get the news first."
Wang Yue looked at Ren Ruyi and did not answer for her this time. After all, it was Ruyi's business and he did not want to make the decision for her.
Ruyi didn't waste any words. She nodded and replied with a simple word, "Yes!"
Ning Yuanzhou could tell from this that Wang Yue cared a lot about this woman's opinion, so he smiled and said, "In that case, why don't you come with us? We can talk about it on the way!"
Ruyi stood up, signaled to Wang Yue, and then said to Ning Yuanzhou very straightforwardly, "Lead the way!"
Chapter 236: Conquering the Guanshan Squad!
There were dozens of riders wandering around outside the town, looking anxiously into the town, obviously waiting for someone.
At this time, a captain saw four horses rushing out of the town and hurried to meet them.
"Master Ning, who are they?"
Ning Yuanzhou smiled and said, "Qian Zhao, these two are my friends. I invited them to help. This one is Yuanlu, so there's no need for me to introduce him."
After introducing Captain Qian, he said to Wang Yue and the others, "This is Qian Zhao, the captain of the princess's imperial guard this time."
Wang Yue and Ruyi bowed to Captain Qian, and Qian Zhao also returned the greeting. Without saying much, they walked out of the town.
On the way, he introduced Yu Shisan and Sun Lang to Wang Yueruyi.
Sun Lang was easier to talk to, but after Yu Shisan and others finished introducing him, he quickly came to Ruyi, smiled with his peach blossom eyes, and said, "Girl, how can you be so beautiful? I have a cousin who looks a bit like you."
Wang Yue held the sword in his hand horizontally in front of Yu Shisan, and then said unhappily, "If you come any closer, I will chop off your claws, do you believe it?"
Yu Shisan's smile froze on his face. He avoided the sword and explained awkwardly, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I just wanted to get to know you guys."
Wang Yue looked at Yu Shisan with a half-smile and asked in a cold voice, "Do you think I believe it or not?"
Yu Shisan felt uneasy when being stared at, so he retreated again, explaining awkwardly, "Your friend has a pretty face, and I'm good at makeup. After putting on makeup, she will definitely be more charming.
If you think it’s inconvenient for me to put on makeup, I can teach you and you can put it on your friends yourself!”
Seeing Yu Shisan's words, Wang Yue followed suit and said, "I originally wanted to learn some mechanical arts from Yuanlu, but now that you've taken the initiative to ask me, I won't refuse. When do you think we should start?"
Yu Shisan didn't expect that there were other men interested in makeup besides him, so he could only say awkwardly, "Anytime."
Wang Yue took Yu Shisan's shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's go. There is a town ahead. Let's go find some aunties selling vegetables. You can teach me on the spot."
After hearing this, Yu Shisan said awkwardly, "Don't vegetable vendors need to put on makeup?"
Wang Yue shook his head and said firmly, "They just don't have money and time. If you can turn them into fairies, that's real skill. I want to learn real skills!"
Yu Shisan's body stiffened, and he continued to argue, "They may not have the time, why not practice on your friend?"
Wang Yue patted Yu Shisan's shoulder heavily and said solemnly, "Don't worry, there is no problem that money can't solve. If there is, it's because you haven't given enough. I believe that if I pay you to put on makeup for them, the women in the town ahead will line up for two miles!"
As he said this, he called Ruyi and took Yu Shisan with him and rushed towards the town ahead.
Yuan Lu looked at Yu Shisan's back as he was restrained by Wang Yue, and said with some emotion, "Brother Yu is really obsessed with sex. After he puts makeup on the vegetable vendor in the town ahead, I'm afraid he will get angry with anyone who mentions makeup to him again!"
Sun Lang and Qian Zhao couldn't help laughing when they thought of that situation.
But Ning Yuanzhou didn't care. He asked Yuanlu solemnly, "Did they give you any trouble these days?"
Yuanlu shook his head and said with a smile, "Brother Wang and Sister Ruyi are both very nice and didn't make things difficult for me."
Sun Lang restrained his smile and asked in confusion, "No trouble? But why didn't you come back?"
Yuanlu quickly explained, "Brother Wang had something to do with Ningtou. After I left, they could only follow the delegation and wait for you to come. So, I simply didn't leave and just left a mark for the leader."
Ning Yuanzhou saw that Yuanlu was so quickly convinced by Wang Yue and Ruyi, so he asked curiously, "Do they know that I will return to Liudaotang?"
Sun Lang and Qian Zhao also looked at Yuan Lu solemnly. They were really worried that Wang Yue and Ruyi were Zhang Song's spies.
Yuanlu said as a matter of course, "Our Liudaotang has been abandoned. If we want to quickly re-activate it, who else can do it except Ningtou?"
Sun Lang didn't expect Yuanlu to say something so insightful, so he asked in confusion, "Did your elder brother Wang say that?"
Yuanlu nodded and said very seriously, "Yes, isn't he right?"
Qian Zhao smiled and said, "That's right, it seems that the leader Wang of Ping'an Village is not a simple person!"
Sun Lang said seriously, "If it was easy, how could he become the leader? Imagine that Queen Zhaojie of Anguo died five years ago, and Ping'an Village also suddenly rose to prominence five years ago. It seems that what he said is somewhat credible."
Ning Yuanzhou felt that it was not that simple, but he did not say anything. With Yu Shisan taking the initiative to get along with Wang Yue, he thought that he would be able to find out some useful information, so he could rest assured.
He is now more concerned about the affairs of the delegation, which is more troublesome.
……
In the next few days, only Wang Yue and Ruyi acted very relaxed. Whenever they passed by a village or town to rest, he would take Yu Shisan with him to put makeup on the village girls.
Yu Shisan was not very willing to teach Wang Yue at the beginning, but after doing makeup for the aunts for several days in a row, he couldn't help it anymore and let Wang Yue do it. He stood by and gave instructions, and he was no longer willing to do it himself.
His makeup is called makeup, but in fact it is similar to disguise. The focus is still the cosmetics in his hands.
Wang Yue already knew a little about disguise, and now that he met a master of makeup, he of course devoted himself to learning, and his progress was very fast. In just a few days, Yu Shisan found that Wang Yue's disguise level was almost the same as his.
He just couldn't stand it anymore, so he quickly announced that Wang Yue had graduated, and he was freed.
However, after spending a few days together, he, like Yuanlu, identified with Wang Yue very much. In particular, Wang Yue's attitude toward the common people was almost exactly the same as his attitude toward Lord Zhou of the diplomatic envoy, which made him have a good impression of Wang Yue.
In addition, Wang Yue did not learn his makeup skills in vain. He exchanged some disguise techniques with him, which made him feel that he could get along with this friend.
Seeing that Yu Shisan had been convinced by Wang Yue and had not been able to obtain any useful information, Ning Yuanzhou sent out the steady Sun Lang.
Wang Yue knew Ning Yuanzhou's intention but pretended not to know and started discussing the Five Elements, Eight Trigrams and medical skills with Sun Lang. They each had their own opinions and the discussion was heated.
Later, Qian Zhao also joined in, and the three of them connected the marching and deployment of the formation, and would perform a deduction from time to time.
The most deduced thing among the three was the war between Anguo and Wuguo. However, no matter how they deduced, they all came to the same conclusion, that is, Wuguo would be defeated. The reason for the failure was that the intelligence was not as accurate as that of Anguo, which led to the misjudgment of the emperor of Wuguo.
Even though Wang Yue's tactics and strategy were obviously better than Sun Lang and Qian Zhao's, the result was still the same.
This made several people unhappy. They were from Liudaotang, and they knew in their hearts that the people of Wu country must have thought the same way. If they could not welcome the emperor back, Liudaotang would probably be hung on the pillar of shame.
As a result, Qian Zhao and Sun Lang were no longer in the mood to discuss tactics with Wang Yue. They were thinking more about this trip.
However, Ning Yuanzhou did not have time to worry about this matter. What bothered him most now was that Her Royal Highness the Princess was pretending to be Prince Li, but it was obvious that she was not very similar.
No matter how the female officials sent by the palace and Du Changshi taught, no good results were achieved.
When Ning Yuanzhou was feeling depressed, he saw Wang Yue learning about mechanisms with Yuanlu. He said with some envy, "Aren't you guys still trying to investigate Empress Zhaojie? Why do you seem so relaxed?"
Wang Yue didn't expect that he was depressed in Ningyuan Prefecture and wanted to make others depressed, so he said unhappily, "We will wait until we get to Anguo to slowly get depressed, but I'm afraid that Lord Ning's depression will make him restless all the way."
Although Ning Yuanzhou admired Wang Yue very much, he was unwilling to talk about official business, so he forced himself to remain calm and said, "I'm not depressed at all, you're overthinking it."
Wang Yue smiled and said, "Think as much as you want. I am reminding you that anyone with a normal IQ can tell that your current Queen Li is a woman after taking a closer look. If you go there like this, I'm afraid you will be exposed as soon as you meet the envoy from Anguo."
Ning Yuanzhou originally felt that Yang Ying's pretending was not like the real thing, but he didn't expect it to be so different. He said with some embarrassment, "Boss Wang actually found out? Then I won't hide it. This is what has been bothering me recently. You two have a lot of contact with An Guo, can you help us train the princess?"
Wang Yue raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion, "I can't understand why you guys, since you want to invent a King of Li, why don't you just find a man to pretend to be him?"
Ning Yuanzhou said somewhat embarrassedly, "No one is willing to take the responsibility for the failure to rescue the emperor, but I and a few of my friends are willing to do so. But to put it bluntly, the aristocratic temperament of the royal family is not cultivated that way.
If we find an ordinary person, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it properly, and there will be problems too.
Moreover, the princess was willing to go on the mission because she wanted to have the power of a prince after returning home.”
Wang Yue didn't expect Ning Yuanzhou to be so cautious. The innate pride of the royal family is indeed not so easy to imitate.
Ruyi heard the conversation between the two, glanced at Wang Yue, and then said abruptly, "I do have an idea, I wonder if Hall Master Ning is willing to listen to it?"
Ning Yuanzhou was stunned for a moment, then asked curiously, "What's your idea? I'm all ears. If it really helps, I'll definitely keep it in mind. After completing the mission of the diplomatic envoy, I'll definitely do my best to help you two find out the truth about Empress Zhaojie's death."
Ruyi pointed at Wang Yue calmly, and then said to Ning Yuanzhou, "Take a look at Wang Yue. Does he have a familiar temperament?"
Chapter 237: Apprentice!
Ning Yuanzhou followed Ruyi's finger and looked at Wang Yue. He looked at him carefully for a while and then felt that what Ruyi said seemed to be right.
He asked solemnly, "Brother Wang, you are not a prince of some country, are you? After your friend reminded me, I feel that you have the temperament of the King of Danyang."
Wang Yue knew who the King of Danyang was. He was the second prince of Wu State who was in Jian State. Like him, he also wanted to be the emperor.
He didn't expect these spies to be so sensitive, so he said unhappily, "Don't be ridiculous. When we get to the border of the three countries, I'll take you to Ping'an Village. I'm a famous village chief. How could I be related to the royal family?"
Ruyi did not comment on Wang Yue's words. She felt that her vision was definitely correct. She thought that she should wait until they reached the border and confirmed Wang Yue's identity in Ping'an Village before making any decision.
This is also the reason why Ruyi has not opened up to Wang Yue until now. She is very satisfied with Wang Yue, but she doesn't want to see Wang Yue give birth to a child.
But she was worried that if her child accidentally got involved with a prince who wanted to restore his country, it would be troublesome for him in the future, so she didn't go to Wang Yue.
After listening to Wang Yue's words, Ning Yuanzhou had the same idea as Ruyi. He began to analyze which country Wang Yue was the prince of.
There are too many countries in the world, with nine in the Central Plains alone. It is normal for each country to change emperors from time to time, and it is hard to say which country's royal descendants they are.
Wang Yue's accent had a bit of the Chu flavor to it, which made him a little suspicious.
But Ning Yuanzhou didn't show it, and said with a smile, "In that case, I'll wait until we get to the border to see what your village is like."
Ruyi Ning Yuanzhou said so, and then he said seriously, "We'll talk about the visit later. It's still too early to go to the border now. What do you think of my suggestion just now?"
Ning Yuanzhou nodded and said in agreement, "If Brother Wang pretends to be King Li, then it will be absolutely safe!"
After all, Wang Yue had traveled through several worlds, so how could he not understand that these two people had misunderstood each other.
He finally found out the reason why Ruyi didn't want to have children with him. It turned out that she didn't want to be involved with the royal family.
He looked at Ruyi gloomily and said, "Have you ever seen a prince who wants to restore his country and loves beauty more than the country like me?"
