Chapter 428 Cooperation
Youth League.
Qingzhu was studying the naval navigation map in his hand.
At this moment, Kuli reported, "Young Master, General Chen has broken through the numerous obstacles set up by Liao Jiesheng at sea."
He is currently leading 300,000 naval troops to the Ming Strait to meet with Vice Chairman Pan. What should be the next step?
Upon hearing Kuli's report, Qingzhu's lips curled up in a smile.
"Good, I didn't expect Chen Dazhuang to break through so quickly."
Qingzhu stood up.
"On my command, have General Chen and Deputy General Pan join forces and lead the army straight to Liao Jiesheng's stronghold. Also, coordinate with Xiao Qingyu's trap to capture Liao Jiesheng alive..."
A month ago, they conquered the Dongzhe tribe and killed Mu Xuzhen.
After Mu Xuzhen's downfall, Liao Jiesheng was the only leader left in the entire sea area.
Once the Xiyu tribe is conquered, the entire sea area will belong to their Qingwu Alliance.
As a result, this Liao fellow had been outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant towards them recently, and General Chao Yin's feigned surrender had caused considerable damage to the Qingwu Alliance.
If he hadn't left himself an escape route, the Qingwu Alliance might have suffered too much damage and wouldn't have been able to maintain its foothold in the sea.
"As you command, young master!"
After Kuli left, Qingzhu clenched her fingers.
This time, he would never let Liao Jiesheng escape again.
Since his unpleasant parting with Liu Shuning that day, Lu Hanting has been making the most of his time to train his private army.
The death of Prince Min made him realize that the emperor suspected him.
However, he has run out of options now, otherwise he wouldn't have let his own son die.
After noon.
Ru Feng knocked on the study door.
"Your Highness, here is a letter from the Eldest Princess!"
Upon hearing that it was the eldest princess, Lu Hanting looked surprised.
Didn't the eldest princess reconcile with the emperor? Why is she seeking him out now?
"Bring it!"
Filled with doubt, Lu Hanting opened the letter.
However, after he finished reading the contents of the letter, his eyes and eyebrows lifted slightly, revealing a smile that had not been seen for a long time.
"Like the wind, grinding ink."
A moment later, Lu Hanting put down his pen.
"You shall immediately deliver this letter to the Princess and tell her that I have agreed to cooperate with her!"
After Ru Feng left, Lu Hanting looked out at the lotus pond.
Six months ago, Wei'er jumped in to retrieve the concubine's book.
Not long after, she resolutely left the Marquis's mansion and left him.
Now, the opportunity has finally presented itself.
Looking at the lotus tips peeking out from the pond.
"Wei'er, I believe you will soon return to my side!"
Ten miles outside the city.
"Your Highness, this is something our Crown Prince asked me to give you!"
The eldest princess led her entourage towards her prefecture, but they were stopped by Ru Feng, who had been chasing after them, not far away.
The princess raised her eyes and gestured to Ling Chu beside her, who then stepped forward to accept the gift.
"Okay, you can leave now!"
The collaboration between the two was conducted in private, so it absolutely could not be made public.
After traveling for a day, the princess and her entourage finally arrived at an inn in Shanhai County, where she opened the letter.
After reading the letter, a knowing look appeared in the princess's eyes.
As expected, Lu Hanting's true love was Wei'er.
She subtly revealed her thoughts, and as a result, Lu Hanting understood her intentions.
The two made a pact: she would help him conquer the world, and he would marry Wei'er.
If I were to ascend to that position in the future, I would grant Wei'er the title of Empress.
Thus, the deal was finalized.
Seeing the satisfaction on the princess's face, Hua Yi, who was tidying up the bed in the room, asked curiously, "Princess, you seem so happy. Could it be that the princess has regretted her decision?"
Hua Yi hadn't seen Ru Feng deliver the message, so she was curious.
The eldest princess glanced at her.
"Just do your own job; everything else is none of your business!"
When reprimanded by the princess, Hua Yi knelt down in fear, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, it was my fault for being so talkative. I will never dare to do it again!"
Seeing Hua Yi's frightened expression, Granny Shi sighed inwardly.
This Hua Yi, who always took advantage of being favored by the princess to overstep her bounds, is now reaping the bitter fruit of her actions!
"Get up! Don't do this again, or else..."
Because he was not in good condition recently, Chang Gong did not realize that he had been indulging his servants.
Now that she has recovered somewhat, and remembering Granny Shi's reminder, she naturally wants to restrain these unruly servants in the mansion.
The next day.
As the princess and her entourage prepared to depart, another group of guests arrived at the inn.
Seeing the strange behavior of the group, the princess, who was about to set off, frowned and summoned Ling Chu.
"Your Highness, what can I do for you?"
The eldest princess gestured with her lips, indicating to Ling Chu to look at the people walking towards the private room.
As the chief bodyguard of the Princess's residence, Ling Chu, who had traveled all over the country, had naturally seen all sorts of people.
From their behavior and the waist tag that one of them inadvertently revealed, Ling Chu had already deduced the identities of these four people.
I'm afraid it is...
"Tell me your guess!"
The eldest princess tapped on the stairs with her hand and said in a low voice.
"Your Highness, I dare to guess that they are assassins from Xiliang!"
Upon hearing that it was a Xiliang assassin, the princess showed no surprise.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure."
He had dealt with assassins from the Western Liang Kingdom before, and one of the people he killed had such a waist tag on him.
Since he's an assassin, he must have people to kill.
Who could possibly make them risk everything to come to their Great Wei and kill people?
The eldest princess frowned and pondered deeply.
Inside the private room, a middle-aged man who appeared to be the leader of the group whispered, "Our master instructed us to wait here for the next few days to avoid attracting the attention of the authorities, until he contacts us..."
The dark-skinned man looked at the three people beside him and asked, "Did you hear me clearly?"
"Roger that!"
Seeing the others nod, the man felt relieved.
The Empress sent them to the Great Wei for Princess Yazhen.
In this way, they only need to wait for the princess to summon them.
Mei Lane.
After the emperor rescinded his decree to send her to a marriage alliance, Wu Weiwei returned to her usual busy life.
Besides accelerating the research and development of new drugs, Wu Weiwei has been planning to gradually shift her business in the past few days.
Yesterday, the Crown Prince of Xiliang sent her a letter. Because he was unable to abrogate the marriage alliance between the two, he did not use the prescription she had given him last time.
Therefore, Shao Zhan planned to help her expand her business and extend it to Xiliang.
Of course, Wu Weiwei understood that Shao Zhan would never do a business that would lose money.
According to the information she found, the situation in Xiliang is not better than that in Wei, and Shao Zhan's position as crown prince is not secure.
Although Princess Yazhen was his younger sister, she was the most favored princess of the Western Liang Kingdom and the youngest daughter of the Empress.
Moreover, she had offended Princess Yazhen.
If we cooperate with Shao Zhan, we might be targeted by the powerful Empress of Xiliang.
As Wu Weiwei thought this, little did she know that Princess Yazhen, who already regarded her as a thorn in her side, revealed a cold glint in her eyes after receiving the letter from her subordinate!
