Ning Yuanzhou saw Wang Yue almost confessing his love to Ruyi, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Wang, what you said proves that you might be related to the royal family. To be honest, who in the world doesn't want to be born into the royal family? Only people from the royal family want to become ordinary people."

Wang Yue was speechless, so he said helplessly, "Since it was Ruyi who proposed it, I agreed to it, but let's make a promise, if the matter is accomplished, you can't trap me in Anguo."

When Ruyi heard that Wang Yue actually agreed, her eyes softened when she looked at Wang Yue. She now felt Wang Yue's sincerity, but she was a little flustered in her heart.

She has never encountered any emotional problems in her life and doesn't know how to deal with them.

Seeing that Wang Yue agreed, Ning Yuanzhou said solemnly, "Brother Wang, I swear on the souls of the deceased from Liudaotang that if Brother Wang helps me complete the mission of this mission, I will guarantee Brother Wang's safety. Even if I die, I will die before Brother Wang."

Seeing Ning Yuanzhou being so serious, Wang Yue couldn't help but take it seriously. After all, he had watched the drama, and the characters in the drama were impeccable.

Moreover, through his observations over the past few days, from Ning Yuanzhou's reaction to his brothers, he felt that he attached great importance to Liudaotang. He still needed to slowly investigate Ning Yuanzhou's attitude towards strangers.

But Wang Yue couldn't say it out loud. Since the other party had sworn so much, he had to express his opinion. He said solemnly, "If you don't betray me, I won't betray you!"

……

"no!"

After listening to Ning Yuanzhou's suggestion, Du Changshi, who was on a diplomatic mission, shook his head like a rattle and firmly opposed it.

Ning Yuanzhou said solemnly, "Lord Du, I don't know whether you are the King of Danyang's man, the Queen's man, or the Prime Minister's man, but you must know that if the mission fails, the two countries may be at war again, and the people will suffer."

Seeing Ning Yuanzhou say this, Du Changshi said anxiously, "I understand what you said, but pretending to be a royal family member is a capital crime. Even if we succeed, we will be questioned when we return."

Ning Yuanzhou said firmly, "As long as I can ensure that this trip goes smoothly, I can take full responsibility for this crime. You can put all the responsibility on me."

He was thinking about how he was shot from behind by someone when he was accompanying the emperor on an expedition. He was now tired of the power struggles among those in power and wanted to retire from society.

Originally, he wanted to retire after completing the mission, but now there is one more task, which is to help Wang Yue find out the cause of death of the summoned queen, and then retire from the world.

Therefore, even if we were to question him, he would have already run away and he has no relatives, so there would be no point in questioning him.

Seeing Ning Yuanzhou said this, Du Changshi raised his own question again, "What about Wang Yue? It's much easier to tell whether a person is a royal family than to tell whether a person is a woman."

Seeing Du Changshi say this, Ning Yuanzhou clapped his hands several times in a row, then said with a smile, "Brother Wang, come out and let Lord Du see if you look like him!"

Wang Yue walked into the house first, followed by two maids. He looked at the two people carefully. One of them was Ruyi, and the other one was the princess, right?

Ning Yuanzhou made this arrangement deliberately because he wanted Lord Du to see Wang Yue and Yang Ying so that he could judge whether Wang Yue looked like a member of the royal family.

Lord Du looked carefully at Wang Yue, who was dressed in the prince's attire, and was almost shocked. It took him a long time to regain his mind and stammered, "Lord Ning, where did you find the royal family? Which country are they from?"

He and Ning Yuanzhou thought the same thing and felt that Wang Yue might be a member of the royal family of some country?

Wang Yue was speechless. He didn't expect that people in this world were so perceptive. He said unhappily, "Master Du, let me reiterate that I am not from the royal family. I am the leader of Ping'an Village. I think Master Du should have heard of me."

When Lord Du heard what Wang Yue said, he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Are you really the leader of Ping'an Village on the border of the Three Kingdoms?"

Wang Yue said seriously, "Yes, we in the village never rob people, and we do legitimate business. I guess we haven't committed any crime, right?"

Lord Du waved his hand and said, "Of course, I have never heard of you being a robber, and I don't mean to look down on you. You call it a mountain stronghold, but it's better to say that you are a family, but you live in a remote place."

After hearing what he said, Wang Yue smiled and said, "When you pass by our village, you can invite Lord Du to visit. I am really not from the royal family."

When Lord Du heard what Wang Yue said, he thought the same as Ning Yuanzhou did, and felt that Wang Yue was a member of the royal family!

If he wasn't from the royal family, who could run such a large village? And not just by fighting and robbing? Where did the money come from?

He no longer bothered with Wang Yue. According to his information, there were no princes of the same age as Wang Yue in the countries neighboring Wu State.

As for whether Wang Yue is a prince from another non-bordering country, what does that have to do with their Wu Kingdom?

He said excitedly, "If Prince Wang is willing to help, then that would be great."

Wang Yue knew that this person also believed that he was a prince of another country, so he said depressedly, "In that case, I will give it a try for now. If something goes wrong, it won't be too late to let the princess take over. However, you must listen to me about how to proceed from now on."

Seeing that Wang Yue had agreed, Yang Ying hurriedly said, "No problem, and I have to thank you for your help, Young Master Wang. When I return from this mission, I will give you all the fiefdoms that the Empress promised me. I only want the right to be the master of marriage."

Wang Yue raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that this girl would do this. He bowed to Yang Ying and said with a smile, "Princess, you are joking. No one else will take your fiefdom away."

Yang Ying was stunned for a moment, then quickly explained, "Then I will give you all the output of the fiefdom! This is the same."

Lord Du saw that Yang Ying's unhappy mood suddenly improved so much, and he knew that he might have done the right thing this time. But just in case, he said seriously, "Even so, the princess still needs to study hard. If the prince makes a mistake, the princess still has to take the blame."

Yang Ying was not online at all, and said happily, "No problem!"

She didn't think that Wang Yue would make any mistakes, because when she looked at Wang Yue, it was almost the same as when she looked at her own royal brother and King Danyang. There was an awe-inspiring aura around him.

Ning Yuanzhou saw that Lord Du had passed this test, so he said a little embarrassedly, "But what about the female official sent by the queen? She is not easy to control.

Although I will bear the main responsibility in the future, it would be better if fewer people knew about Wang Yue replacing the princess, right?"

Lord Du Ning Yuanzhou said this, then hesitated for a moment and said, "Isn't Lord Ning in charge of this mission? You can just arrange for the female official to send her back."

Ning Yuanzhou saw that Lord Du was unwilling to take this responsibility, so he said helplessly, "I have no problem here, but the guards that Qian Zhao brought all know about this matter. Lord Du, do you have any way to replace them?"

After hearing this, Lord Du understood what Ning Yuanzhou meant. He had to do one of the two things. It was not to make things difficult for him, but it was a necessary choice for him to be an accomplice.

He hesitated for a moment, but still didn't dare to drive the female official back to Kyoto. Instead, he said solemnly, "How about this? Let these soldiers escort the female official back to the capital, and say that we will use the border troops instead in the future. After all, the strength of the imperial guards is not as good as that of the border troops."

Chapter 238: Let’s go big!

Ning Yuanzhou just wanted Lord Du to choose one so that he would feel at ease. As for where the soldiers would be transferred from, he didn't care at all.

After all, with just that few people, they would probably just be a decoration once they arrived in Anguo.

He smiled and said to Lord Du, "Then I'll trouble you, Lord Du!"

Lord Du was relieved when he saw Ning Yuanzhou did not insist. He looked at Wang Yue and asked, "Master Wang, what should we do next?"

Wang Yue certainly knew that although these people said they would follow his orders, they would probably not listen to him if he didn't explain it clearly.

He said seriously, "Prince Wang, I don't know what we should do next?"

Wang Yue met everyone's gazes and said calmly, "Ning Yuanzhou, it's up to you now. Investigate all the towns before we reach Anguo from here."

Ning Yuanzhou frowned and said uncertainly, "Wang Yue, are you worried that King Danyang will take action against us?"

Yang Ying didn't wait for Wang Yue to answer. Seeing Ning Yuanzhou saying this, he asked unhappily, "Why do you suspect my brother? Why not Zhang Song?"

Ning Yuanzhou sighed and said helplessly, "Let's see who benefits from what is disadvantageous to us. Your sister-in-law and Zhang Song both hope to get the imperial edict, but your brother doesn't need it."

Yang Ying still didn't believe it. She said angrily, "Of course not. You must have made a mistake."

Wang Yue didn't want to watch the argument, so he said helplessly, "Let's just be prepared. Ning Yuanzhou, let me find out the news first. Before that, we can just travel slowly."

Ning Yuanzhou did not argue, but nodded and agreed. He was going to reintegrate the Liudaotang along the way, and this was what he should do.

Along the way, when passing Yongcheng and Zhucheng, no accidents happened, and everyone relaxed a lot.

In his spare time while studying with Ruyi and Lord Du, Yang Ying couldn't help but laugh and said, "See? I told you guys you were overthinking it."

The others were also suspicious, but Ning Yuanzhou looked serious. He ignored Yang Ying's ridicule and said solemnly, "Peizhou ahead is the territory of my uncle, the King of Danyang. I received a letter from the King of Danyang, saying that General Pingyuan of Tushan Pass is his confidant and has set up an ambush at Tushan Pass. We should be careful."

Wang Yue didn't believe such nonsense. How could the King of Danyang send a letter to Ningyuanzhou? He didn't expose it, but smiled and said, "This King of Danyang is quite interesting. We were just about to find out where his people were, but he took the initiative to tell us."

Ning Yuanzhou said helplessly, "Brother Wang, this is not the time to joke around. What do you think we should do?"

He didn't want to ask Wang Yue. In fact, he already had an idea. However, he had already agreed to be the team leader, so he just asked first.

Wang Yue has also recently collected some news from the border. He suddenly discovered that the three cities of Wu State that were captured by An State were basically within the sphere of influence of their stronghold, leaving a lot of room for maneuver.

If we want to achieve the plan, we still need the cooperation of Ning Yuanzhou and his group. Fortunately, the journey is still long, so everything can be discussed slowly.

At this moment, he heard Ning Yuanzhou's probing, so he said calmly, "This is a simple matter, just do as I say!"

Although Ning Yuanzhou had doubts in his heart, he still let Wang Yue do it. If it really didn't work, he could use his backup plan.

Peizhou, outside Tushan Pass

Prince Li's welcoming convoy listened to Wang Yue's advice and used a trick to escape, successfully passing Tushan Pass.

After passing the test, Lord Du was very happy and said to Ning Yuanzhou with a smile, "It seems that neither of us has to bear the responsibility of sending the Ming female official and those guards back.

With the Ming women officials and soldiers rushing to the capital, attracting the attention of General Zhou at Tushan Pass, it seems to be a safe bet. But without the soldiers, what should we do before reaching the border?"

Ning Yuanzhou didn't care. He said easily, "After we pass the checkpoint, we can find some young men or escorts to join the team. As long as they can escort the team's goods, it will be fine."

After hearing this, Du Changshi sighed and said, "It seems that this is the only way. Let's choose young and strong men. The escort agency is a gang, so it is inevitable that they will be interested in gold. However, the young and strong men who have just joined the army still need training. I can only trouble General Qian to train them well along the way."

Seeing that Lord Du had no objection, Ning Yuanzhou smiled and said, "Lord Du may not know that I have sent people to conduct a detailed investigation of Ping'an Village during this period. I heard that the bandits there are well-organized!"

Du Changshi didn't react at first after hearing what Ning Yuanzhou said. He thought Ning Yuanzhou had said something wrong. But he immediately realized that the bandits were in neat uniforms and it seemed that they were from some country's army. This also confirmed that Wang Yue might be the prince of some country.

He asked uncertainly, "Master Ning, are you planning to let Wang Yue pick people from the village?"

Ning Yuanzhou nodded and said proudly, "Yes, a few days ago, I asked Brother Wang to send someone to the mountain stronghold to deliver a letter, preparing to ask them to send dozens of people over to support us. The bandits there are no worse than the border troops, they just don't have armor."

After hearing this, Lord Du asked in frustration, "What kind of soldier is he without armor? Wouldn't he be seen through right away?"

Ning Yuanzhou shook his head and said helplessly, "It's better to have something than nothing. Why are you still being so picky at this time? Even if the bandits put on armor, I'm afraid they won't be able to protect the princess!

Besides, Wang Yue said that someone would send us armor, so we don’t have to worry.”

After hearing this, Lord Du was about to ask how could he not be anxious, but he suddenly realized and asked excitedly, "Lord Ning, 100,000 taels of gold! Where is our gold? We can't go without gold."

Ning Yuanzhou said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, Wang Yue has already arranged everything. He has already transferred the gold, and people from the Six Paths Hall have been following him the whole time. Don't worry, it won't be lost."

After hearing this, Lord Du asked suspiciously, "How was it transferred? Don't blame me for not believing you. This gold is really too important."

Ning Yuanzhou knew that this matter was troublesome. No wonder Wang Yue asked him to talk to Lord Du. He said helplessly, "Lord Du, you may not understand that Wang Yue's village has been doing business in the Nine Kingdoms for many years and has relationships with many merchants in Wu Kingdom. He has arranged more than a hundred people to divide the gold into more than a hundred parts and go to different cities to exchange it for silver notes. Then they will take the silver notes to the next town and exchange them for gold again, so there is no need to rush."

In fact, of course, this is not the case. Wang Yue’s counterfeit business has been going on for more than five years, relying on perfumes, incense, glass and so on, and he has a lot of gold in his hands.

Wang Yue took advantage of his special relationship and set up a bank-like business to do transactions for merchants from all over the country, so he earned more money.

Therefore, the 100,000 gold was not as troublesome as Ning Yuanzhou had imagined. Instead, a part of it would be kept nearby as the capital of Wudu Money House in the future, and the rest would be taken away.

However, it was impossible to tell Ning Yuanzhou about this kind of thing, so Wang Yue came up with an idea to fool Ning Yuanzhou and make him think that the goods were shipped out in batches.

After hearing what Ning Yuanzhou said, Lord Du muttered, "Although Wang Yue seems to be a good person, he is a bandit after all. Is it really okay for you to give him 10 taels of gold?"

After hearing this, Ning Yuanzhou asked, "He has no relationship with us, but he took such a big risk for us. We only gave him a little trust, so why can't he do that?"

Lord Du was speechless after being rebuked. Although he was a little worried, he didn't say anything else.

The group traveled quickly and soon arrived at Tianxing Gorge, but news came from Liudaotang that General Zhou already knew that the delegation had left the pass and secretly transported the gold away, and he had sent troops to chase them.

Ning Yuanzhou frowned, feeling a little worried. Seeing that Wang Yue was still letting the convoy move forward at a leisurely pace, he hurried to Wang Yue's side and asked anxiously, "Wang Yue, what should we do now? It won't be long before we are caught up."

Wang Yue calmly changed the subject and said, "Look, even when the country is in danger, the upper echelons still don't forget to fight among themselves."

Ning Yuanzhou was so annoyed that he quickly said, "That's why I want to retire from society. But no matter what, I have to put an end to your plan."

Wang Yue saw that Ning Yuanzhou was getting anxious, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements here. Maybe we can catch General Zhou."

Although Ning Yuanzhou was a little suspicious, seeing that Wang Yue had arranged everything in an orderly manner and was following the route he had planned, he didn't say anything more and just asked people to speed up.

The group entered a canyon in Tianxing Gorge. Dust was flying behind them, and it was obvious that the pursuers were catching up.

The guards arranged by Wang Yue were not worried at all. At a turn, they protected the members of the delegation in the center in an orderly manner and put them in a defensive posture.

Zhou Jian led a thousand soldiers under his command and came quickly. When he saw the delegation stopped, he said happily, "Even though you are so cunning, you have still been caught by me. Where are you going to escape to?"

Wang Yue knew that villains die because they talk too much. He stood in front, dressed in the clothes of a prince, and asked with a gloomy face, "General Zhou, you still don't dismount when you see me, do you want to rebel?"

Zhou Jian was shocked by Wang Yue's aura, and he said uncertainly, "Who are you? How dare you pretend to be a prince? It seems that I can't let you stay."

Wang Yue took out the seal in his hand and an imperial edict with a jade seal. He held it high and sneered, "I am your majesty's younger brother, Prince Li. Here are the seals and imperial edicts as proof. You came to hunt us down. Are you deliberately trying to stop us from welcoming your majesty back?"

Chapter 239: While chatting and laughing, everything was reduced to ashes!

After hearing this, General Zhou knew that Wang Yue could not continue speaking, so he shouted, "Nonsense! Where is the King of Li in Wu Kingdom?!

Kill him! Whoever kills this fake Prince Li will be promoted one level and receive 100 taels of gold!"

The soldiers under his command hesitated for a moment, then immediately rushed forward with swords in hand. Although they guessed from the aura Wang Yue displayed that Wang Yue might really be Prince Li, their prince was Prince Danyang's man, and Prince Danyang would be responsible for any problems.

Wang Yue saw that Zhou Jian and his men were stubborn and unyielding, so he smiled and said, "Since you are looking for death, don't blame me."

Ning Yuanzhou had been standing next to Wang Yue. He was shocked by Wang Yue's imposing aura and did not say anything.

Hearing Wang Yue say this, he asked in confusion, "Brother Wang, do you have any reinforcements?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was answered by a sudden loud noise from the mountains on both sides, which shook the earth.

Ning Yuanzhou couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and was extremely shocked. Isn't the power of this thunder a little too powerful?

After the violent explosion, a lot of rocks fell from the mountain where the two cars were, just enough to cut the pursuing team in half.
