Chu Qingzhi splashed tea on the man in black to wake him up.

The man in black was still so vigilant that upon waking up, his first reaction was to escape, but when he moved, he realized that his entire body was limp. He could not even raise his finger, let alone move. “You…”

Tang Jinghong interrupted him coldly. “Which princess’s maid of the An Huai Kingdom are you looking for?”

The man in black had a familiar feeling of being unable to control himself from answering. He opened his mouth and said, “Princess Yun Hua.”

Princess Yun Hua was the seventh child of the emperor of the An Huai Kingdom. Her biological mother was the eldest daughter of the number one family in the An Huai Kingdom, and she was also the empress.

However, the emperor was very afraid of the power of the empress’s family. On the surface, he respected the empress, but in fact, he was secretly targeting and scheming against the empress’s family. However, her family had existed for 300 years and had a longer history than the royal family. It was not a family the emperor could shake, so he failed repeatedly.

Fortunately, Princess Yun Hua was a girl. Otherwise, she would have died long ago.

The emperor did not like the princess, but she was the apple of the empress’s eyes.

Moreover, this princess had a few very powerful and rich uncles. Before she was born, Princess Yun Hua was already the richest person in her generation.

Tang Jinghong suddenly felt a huge dark net enveloping the Daling Dynasty, and they were all prey under the net. “Why is Princess Yun Hua’s maid in Daling?”

The man in black’s heart trembled. If he said it, he would be a sinner of the An Huai Kingdom. However, he still opened his mouth and said, “The princess married over, so her personal maid naturally had to come too.”

If a princess of a country married into another country, it would be a huge matter that concerned the diplomatic relation of both countries. Why didn’t they receive any news?

Tang Jinghong was extremely shocked. “You mean that the princess of An Huai Kingdom married into the Daling Dynasty?”

The man in black bit his tongue hard to stop himself from speaking, but he failed. “Yes.”

Tang Jinghong stared at the man in black. “Who did she marry?”

The man in black closed his eyes and felt guilty. “The heir of the Lord of the Northern Border.”

Hearing this, Tang Jinghong was extremely shocked and felt that it was ridiculous. “The princess is marrying the heir of the Lord of the Northern Border?! Are you planning to join forces to rebel?”

The man in black let out a deep breath. “1 don’t know.”

Tang Jinghong took the tea from Chu Qingzhi and took a sip. He calmed down and asked, “What’s the name of the princess’s maid?”

The man in black tensed up again. The willpower in his mind that made him obedient could not be resisted. “Jingwen.”

Jingwen?

Yang Jingwen?

Tang Jinghong suddenly thought of Tong Yujie’s sister who they saved from Wan Zhilin’s mansion. Was she the princess’s maid?

“Do you know Jingwen?”

“I’ve seen her portrait.”

Tang Jinghong would take him to see Tong Yujie’s sister to confirm it later. Now, he still had one last question. “What’s the secret letter about?”

The man in black was just a secret guard and could not come into contact with information of this level. “1 don’t know.”

Chu Qingzhi suddenly interrupted, “Where’s your princess?”

The man in black sighed. “The princess ran away from the marriage.”

Tang Jinghong’s eyes narrowed. “1’11 bring you to meet your princess’s maid.”

The man in black was stunned. Was the princess’s maid taken by this guy?

Tang Jinghong grabbed his collar and dragged him towards Yang Jingwen’s room.

Tong Yujie was standing guard there. When he saw this, he asked, “Brother, who is this person?” Based on his killer’s intuition, this man in black was probably the same person as him.

Tang Jinghong avoided Tong Yujie’s question. “1 need your sister’s help with something. Please go and tell her.”

Tong Yujie had no reason to refuse. “Wait a moment. 1’11 go in and ask her first.”

He glanced at the man in black and could feel that his identity was not simple.

Yang Jingwen was seriously injured. After drinking the chicken soup that Tong Yujie had given her, she fell asleep.

Tong Yujie walked out and said, “Please come in.”

Tang Jinghong walked in with the man in black. “Is it her?”

The man in black found it unbelievable. “Yes.” He did not expect the princess’s maid to have fallen into someone else’s hands. That secret letter…

Tong Yujie was dumbfounded. “Brother, what’s going on?”

“I’ll tell you later.”

Tang Jinghong was filled with doubts. Could it be that Yang Jingwen went to the An Huai Kingdom after leaving the village? But how did a little girl like her do it? In addition, she was wearing a wedding dress. Wait, the princess ran away, and her personal maid was wearing a wedding dress. Then… did that mean that she married in place of the princess?

Suddenly, he felt that there were more and more mysteries that needed to be untangled.

Tang Jinghong carried the man in black out of the room.

Tong Yujie stood at the door of the room and watched them leave with a dark expression on his face. What exactly happened?

The man in black was tied up by Tang Jinghong and thrown into the woodshed. The secret guard of the emperor of An Huai Kingdom knew far more than this. They would dig deeper when they brought him back.

Li Yuanshao and Cong Chusheng stayed in their room the entire time. It was unknown if they were not curious or if they were asleep and did not hear the commotion.

Tang Jinghong returned to his room and discussed with Chu Qingzhi. After dawn, Tang Jinghong looked for Tong Yujie alone. “It’s time for you to show your sincerity.”

Tong Yujie was straightforward. He took out a few maps and handed them to Tang Jinghong. “These are the defensive map of the Northern Border, the map of the mansion of the Lord of the Northern Border, and the location of the Lord of the Northern Border’s private army.”

Tong Yujie paused for a moment and continued, “I also received a piece of information.”

Tang Jinghong tilted his head and asked, “What?”

Tong Yujie pursed his lips. “The Lord of the Northern Border intends to secretly form a marriage alliance with the emperor of An Huai Kingdom and mine the iron mine at the foot of Heavenly Snow Mountain.”

Each piece of news was more explosive than the last!

Tang Jinghong moved his fingers. Marriage alliance! Iron mine! Weapons! It seemed that the Lord of the Northern Border really wanted to rebel. “Their alliance is destined to fail.”

The princess had run away, and her maid was in their hands. The heir was also in their hands. How was this marriage alliance going to succeed?

Wait a minute, the king of An Huai Kingdom had more than one princess! And the Lord of the Northern Border had more than one son!

It seemed that they had to make a move!

Also, the discovery of an iron mine should, by law, be reported directly to the emperor and mined by the imperial court. Now, the two sides wanted to exploit it secretly and split the gains. It could be seen that the imperial court had lost their grip on the Northern border.

“What are your plans next?” Tang Jinghong wanted to recruit Tong Yujie. His martial arts skills were extremely high. With him joining, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.

Tong Yujie thought about it for the entire night last night. Tang Jinghong and Chu Qingzhi helped him find and save his sister. His long-cherished wish was finally fulfilled. Then, Chu Qingzhi helped him remove the poison that Wan Zhilin had drugged him with many years ago. As long as Tang Jinghong needed his help, he would help to the best of his ability.

He cupped his fists respectfully. “If General doesn’t mind, 1 also want to serve the country!”

Tang Jinghong reached out and lifted Tong Yujie’s arm.. “Good!”
