Regarding Yan Lu's free and easy and open-mindedness, Jing Salaman had no intention of criticizing or preaching, but just reminded:
"Be careful. If something goes wrong, remember to come to me or go directly to Gu for help."
Today's Frightened Salamander has a different attitude towards snares than it did more than ten years ago.
Although I still think Luowang is a troublesome organization, I am no longer afraid of it.
As long as Gu Xun thinks about it, keeping Yan Lu is definitely not a problem.
Jing Salamander asked about this just to give Yan Lu a heads-up so that he would not be negligent and fall prey to the trap.
Yan Lu also understood the meaning of Jing Salamander, nodded slightly, and replied with a chuckle, "I don't have to worry about it. Don't worry."
Then Yan Lu asked, "Is things going well for my sister?"
Regarding this question, Jing Salamander was silent for a moment. There was no emotion or anger on his delicate and fair face, only a dead silence. Finally, he nodded slowly and said:
"Maybe... it went smoothly."
"Don't reveal all my actions here to anyone." Jing salamander then warned with a serious expression, "Remember, it's anyone!"
What this means is that even Gu Xun and Ayan can't say it.
In fact, Yan Lu didn't know anything either.
He only knew that Jing Salaman had something to do today, and it was a very important thing to do, but he didn't know exactly where he went, who he met, or what he did.
Even so, Jing Salamander specifically asked him to keep it a secret, which shows how seriously she takes this matter.
Faced with this situation, Yan Lu couldn't help but feel suspicious. He was not a very curious person, but what Jing Salamander did was indeed too abnormal.
The Amazing Salamander will be worried about his safety, and he will naturally be worried about the Amazing Salamander's condition.
However, seeing the serious look on the other party's face, it was difficult to ask more questions, so I could only press the button for now and wait until later.
"I see."
………………
Within the mountains and forests of Songhai, the hands of the Shadow Guards were moving through the mountains, seemingly searching for something.
Zhang Han stood in the clearing in the forest with his arms folded, waiting for his men to come over and report the situation. He seemed unaffected by the punishment he had received not long ago.
After a while, a member of the Shadow Guard walked over quickly, bowed his hands and said:
"General Qi, the rebels have retreated."
Zhang Han was not disappointed with this. He tapped his fingers on his arm a few times and said with a smile:
"You ran away in time...any other discoveries?"
"Back to the general, judging from the traces left by the rebels' retreat, they should have retreated in a planned and targeted manner, and they should have gone west."
"We have to wait for the tracking brothers to come back and report on the specific destination."
"Xiangxi..." Zhang Han narrowed his eyes and started thinking in his mind.
Songhai went all the way to the west, and after leaving the border of Qilu, it was the generation of Dongjun.
However, Zhang Han did not think that the target of these people was Dongjun, at least their initial target was not Dongjun.
Although he successfully planted a hidden plot against the Mo family, it should not take effect so quickly and affect these remnants of the Chu Kingdom.
But if you just want to escape the empire's encirclement and suppression and protect yourself, going west is not a good choice.
Because the emperor intended to patrol eastward, the area from Guanzhong to Beidi and then to Qilu underwent simple rectification, and the empire's rule strengthened a lot.
In comparison, fleeing directly to the north or south to the Land of Yanji or the Jingchu Generation is a good choice. The former is relatively sparsely populated, while the latter is in the midst of war and chaos, making it easy to hide.
In this case, choosing to go east was either to confuse him in order to create doubts or to have other purposes.
Zhang Han thinks the probability of the latter is higher.
So here comes the question - what do these remnants of Chu want to do?
Zhang Han quickly thought of something and ordered the members of the Shadow Secret Guard on the side:
"Take the team back!"
"Go immediately and find out for me the information about all the hard laborers from Songhai to Dongjun who came from the old Chu state!"
………………
Under the East China Sea, inside the Xuanwu cabin.
Gai Nie and everyone else were staring at Cook Ding, waiting for him to tell him about the abnormality he discovered in the Tooth-gnawing Prison.
Being suddenly noticed by so many people made Chef Ding a little nervous for a moment, scratching his head and laughing, speechless.
Robber Zhi nudged him with his elbow and urged:
"What have you discovered? Tell me quickly!"
After Thief Zhi made a fuss, Cook Ding's mood became more stable, and he coughed and began to tell:
"First of all, they forced me to reproduce the recipe of a dish, and you all know that dish..."
Before Cook Ding finished speaking, Gai Nie interrupted him directly:
"The vast sea reflects Mount Tai, and the shark's fin cooks the bear's paw."
"But the shark's fin and bear paw dish from Haiyue Xiaozhu?"
"Huh?" Cook Ding was stunned. He turned around and looked around. He found that everyone was not surprised by Gai Nie's words. Instead, they looked surprised. He couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Why do you all seem to know?"
Robber Zhi chuckled, hugged Cook Ding's arm, and asked with a smile:
"Fat Ding, what do you think they are going to do with shark fins and bear paws?"
"I couldn't guess that, but it's definitely not a trivial matter." Cook Dinghan replied with a smile.
Shark Fin Bear Palm and Haiyue Xiaozhu are bound together, and basically no ordinary people from simple family backgrounds come and go from Haiyue Xiaozhu.
"Hehe!" Thief Zhi grinned and explained to him in a timid manner, "Let me tell you."
"Shortly after you were captured, the eldest son of the empire, Fusu, was assassinated in Haiyue Xiaozhu. One of the assassins took the identity of the cook."
"Ah!?" Cook Ding was shocked when he heard this.
According to what Thieves Zhi said, doesn't it mean that the purpose of those people is... to assassinate Fusu!?
The empire is really in chaos...
Gai Nie said at this time, "From this point of view, the assassination of Haiyue Xiaozhu is indeed a power struggle within the empire."
"The people who captured the chef in the first place were the people in the net, and the ones who planned the assassination...were them."
Wei Zhuang interrupted at this time, "Do you have to keep talking nonsense on such a boring issue?"
As far as the Mo family is concerned, the truth about Haiyue Xiaozhu's assassination case is still unclear. There is a lot of suspicion in Luo Wang, but it is only a suspicion.
But for Wei Zhuang, the truth is basically a certainty, and there is no point in discussing it.
Due to Wei Zhuang's interruption, Gai Nie and others looked at each other and ignored the topic.
Because indeed... there is nothing to discuss.
With such a large empire, it is normal for power struggles to occur within the empire. Now they cannot take advantage of this, so there is no need to think too much about it.
"Hey, what about the other thing?" Pirate Zhi bumped into the cook Ding and reminded him.
"Oh!" Cook Ding, who had no clear understanding of the Haiyue Xiaozhu assassination case and was still in a daze, came to his senses and said quickly, "And I heard a piece of news."
"The group of people who guarded me later, that is, the group of people under Zhang Han, seemed to be gathering towards Dongjun again. It seemed that they were planning some big move."
"Uh... do you know anything about this?" Considering the situation of the previous message, Cook Ding added a final question.
