"What?" Yun Shang turned to look at Ning Qian with confusion in her eyes, "What do you mean by having some clues?"
Ning Qian meditated for a moment and said, "As almost all the soldiers of Liu Yinfeng were gathered in the three places, namely, Liucang City, Siyang City and Nanyang City, for the time being, we can't really go deep into their camp to investigate. However, I ordered my men to sneak into the brothels of these three places and was only able to enter the military camp a few times. However, they didn't stay for a long time, so I didn't get much information. "
"Tell me in detail," Yun Shang asked softly.
"There are four messages from the other end of the line. First, there are not many people in the camp near the Liucang City, less than one hundred thousand in total. I suspect that some of his soldiers have been placed in other places, but we haven't found that place for the time being. Two, Xia Houjing robbed the supplies we sent to the camp, but recently there was still a shortage of food in the camp. Xia Houjing would rather starve the soldiers than send the supplies to the camp. I'm afraid he already knew there was something wrong. Three, beside Xia Houjing, there was a military counsellor who could speak the language of the State of Xia, but his accent didn't seem to be that of the State of Xia. The last message is that Mr. Liu is not imprisoned in the camp, " Ning Qian reported everything in detail.
Yun Shang nodded slightly, but there was still a bit of doubt in her eyes, "Have you got in touch with Zheng Qiming? He might have found out where the supplies were sent. "
Ning Qian shook her head and replied, "We have found Doctor Zheng, but he doesn't know where the materials are. He said that someone might have used a more pungent aromatic substance to cover the smell, so the butterflies that Dr. Zheng specially raised were disturbed by the sense of smell and couldn't find the exact location. And the weather is getting colder recently, so butterflies can't fly too far. "
Yun Shang frowned, "It's not good news."
Neither Ning Qian nor Qian Yin spoke. After a moment's silence, Yun Shang said, "Ask someone to keep an eye on them. Report the news as soon as possible and ask someone to train a group of eagles to send messages."
Ning Qian obeyed and left with Qian Yin.
Yun Shang frowned and stood in the yard for a long time. Xia Houjing would rather starve the soldiers than send the army provisions to them. He must have known there was something wrong.
But except for Liu Yinfeng and Zheng Qiming, only the closest people around her knew there was something wrong with the provisions. The people around her hadn't left the Jin City recently, so only Liu Yinfeng or Zheng Qiming could have revealed the news to Xia Houjing.
Yun Shang squinted her eyes. Did Liu Yinfeng really betray them?
But Luo Qingyan had said that although Liu Yinfeng might have something to hide from them, he should not betray them. He said that his people had found out that before this, Liu Yinfeng had a serious quarrel with Xia Houjing, hoping that Xia Houjing would give up
open and walked in. Luo Qingyan thought it was Liu Wenan, so he waved his hand and said, "It's almost ready. You go and prepare the meal first. I'll have dinner after dealing with these memorials."
Hearing this, Yun Shang curled her lips, walked to the imperial table and took the memorial in Luo Qingyan's hand. Luo Qingyan frowned and said, "Alas..." Then he raised his head.
When he saw it was Yun Shang, he changed his face and smiled, "Shang'er, you're back in the palace? Did you have a good time? "
Yun Shang frowned and wanted to say something to him, but she remembered that she had finally sent Liu Wenan away and had to seize the opportunity. She opened her mouth, but was still a little worried, so she said, "I have something to say."
Then she picked up her dress, walked to Luo Qingyan, bent over and whispered in his ear the details of Xia Houjing's identity that she had found out today.
Shock was written all over Luo Qingyan's face. He turned to look at Yun Shang and asked excitedly, "Is that true?"
"It's true. It took me a lot of time to get the information. It's absolutely right. In my opinion, his former majesty certainly doesn't know about it. Otherwise, his former majesty wouldn't have doted on the seventh Prince so much. Your majesty, do you think we should tell his former majesty about it? " Yun Shang was both surprised and excited when she knew this before. Now she knew what Luo Qingyan was thinking.
Hearing Yun Shang's question, Luo Qingyan calmed down. After a long silence, he said softly, "No, we're not in a hurry to tell his former majesty about it. Now we only have one witness, and that witness just listened to his wife's words and did not really participate in the matter of that year. If we have to deny Xia Houjing's identity as a prince with his own words, I'm afraid it's not easy. "
"But what that man said must be true," Yun Shang was surprised.
Luo Qingyan held Yun Shang's hand and said softly, "Yes, he is telling the truth, but it's not the time to expose it. Let's wait until the evidence is sufficient."
