Back at Jinling Palace, Xu Zhilan told Lan Keqing and others about the matter.

Not long after, Luo Shixun came to report, Xu Zhilan alone told him to bring more forbidden army makeup to go forward in batches, collect intelligence along the way, observe the performance of the princesses, focus on protecting the safety of Princess Luoyang, in case of emergencies, do not expose the identity of the forbidden army.

Five days passed in a hurry, and the secret agents of the Supervision Yuan sent back the news, and the officials who did not find the qualifications of the court revealed the news of the princess's micro-service trip.

On the first day of October, four teams of people set off at the same time, Xu Zhilan took Lan Keqing and Xiang'er and five mothers-in-law who cooked, plus two guards who were coolies, exactly ten people.

"Princesses go slowly, this king will go first!"

Xu Zhilan has the least number of people, and he rode a horse to attract firepower, so you have no opinion, right?

Princess Jinyang was carrying 200 taels of silver tickets, she didn't know if this money was enough to entangle? Look at Xu Zhilan wearing a royal robe, it is indeed enough to attract firepower, but it also brings trouble to the three of them! Xu Zhilan walked so arrogantly, the person who wanted to commit the crime against him must check whether there was any secret guard protection before and after him, this check, wouldn't the princesses be exposed?

To be fair, the three princesses drew lots to decide on the order in which they went first.

Princess Chongyang is gone, Princess Luoyang is also gone, and finally Princess Jinyang.

Princess Jinyang is very happy, walking at the end to facilitate cheating.

The next morning, Xu Zhao saw the first secret report from the secret agent: Jinyang 60 taels; Chongyang 80 taels; Luoyang 12 taels.

On the third day, another secret report came: Jinyang 20 taels; Chongyang 60 taels; Luoyang 12 taels.

Gonggong Liu came to Shuya Palace, passed the two notes to Concubine Mo, and left without saying anything.

"Thank you Gonggong Liu for the reminder!" After Concubine Mo thanked her, she hurriedly sent someone to inform her baby daughter, don't be extravagant.

On the fifth day, Princess Luoyang saw Princess Chongyang's tears in her eyes, and stepped forward to inquire, only to know that Princess Chongyang had no silver on her. In fact, Princess Chongyang was funded by her cousin, and she spent hundreds of taels more, but the emperor didn't pursue it, and she didn't want to explain it to Princess Luoyang. Now, there are only two ways to wait for Princess Chongyang, one is to give up going to Yangtao County, and someone will immediately take her back to Jinling with delicious food and drink; Otherwise, she would have to figure out her own way to earn money and move on! Of course, starving to Yangtao County is also considered a success. However, five days of hunger shows unrealistic!

Although Princess Jinyang was saved, her past life was really good, and when she learned about Princess Chongyang's situation, she found that there were only 4 taels of silver left!

"Zhong Aiqing, what kind of food is the cheapest?" Princess Jinyang blushed and said that the hatred for Xu Zhilan in her heart can be imagined.

The entourage embarrassedly told Princess Jinyang two words: "Sweet potato!" ”

Let's say that Xu Zhiyuan sent Xiao Jinfeng and others to visit Yangtao County secretly for many days, but they did not find any useful clues. On this day, Xu Zhiyuan heard that Xu Zhilan was back, he thought about it, was ruthless, and sent Alice to Yangtao Palace.

"Manager Lan, there is a woman from the Western Regions named Alice at the door who claims to be a friend of King Yangtao, and she has sent a letter of worship, asking to meet King Yangtao."

"Arrest her!" When Lan Keqing heard the report of his subordinates, he immediately wanted to take someone.

"Don't embarrass her, invite her in first!" Xu Zhilan felt that since Alice dared to come, she must have something to rely on.

In case of accidents, Xu Zhilan asked Xi'er to go back to the room first.

After a while, Alice, an exotic beauty with blue eyes, was invited into the palace.

"Alice meets the King of Yangtao!"

"Excuse me! Miss Alice, please be seated! Xu Zhilan beckoned Alice to sit down and asked her servants to bring fruit for reception.

"Doesn't King Yangtao want to know why my brother injured General Luo?" Alice picked up the teacup, blew it, tasted it, and smiled on her face, as if she was not afraid of what would happen to her at all.

Xu Zhilan took a sip with him, smiled and said, "This king just doesn't mention it, I believe Miss Alice will take the initiative to explain, otherwise, Miss Alice wants to ask this king, I'm afraid she won't be able to say it." ”

"I wonder if King Yang Tao can guess the purpose of Alice's trip?" Alice put down her teacup and looked at Xu Zhilan.

"There are two reasons why this king didn't ask your brother to hurt Luo Zongbing: first, Luo Zongbing was not a subordinate of this king at that time; Second, this king has never participated in the battle for the princess's throne. ”

Xu Zhilan guessed that Alice was Xu Zhiyuan's subordinate, so first show his attitude and see how Alice reacted.

Alice let out an "oh", and then listened to Xu Zhilan and said: "But now, General Luo has become the deputy general of my Yangtao County Guard, and this king naturally has to stand up for him; The king does not participate in the battle for succession, but the relationship between the princesses is still very well understood. You shouldn't be the one who is Princess Chongyang, and you won't be the one who is Princess Luoyang. This king doesn't want to know who your subordinate is, this king only wants to know the case at the border of the Western Regions a few months ago, but what did your brother and sister do with Xiao Jinfeng? ”

"The three of us are only responsible for the assassination of Zu Ling and General Luo, and the task of assassinating other witnesses, and someone else is in charge. Who did it, please forgive Alice for not being able to tell King Yangtao. Alice replied simply.

"Aren't you afraid that this king will arrest you?" Xu Zhilan deliberately said this, trying to force Alice to show her hole cards.

Alice took out a pocket-sized golden knife from her arms, handed it to Xu Zhilan, and said: "King Yangtao, Alice is the daughter of King Gui of the Western Regions. ”

Xu Zhilan took it and took a look, the strength of the small country in the Western Regions is not enough, this knife is not as beautiful as Liu Mei'er's, and the bottom of the handle should be a seal. The words were crooked, and Xu Zhilan didn't know what was written, and after admiring it for two minutes, he handed the knife back to Alice.

"This king does not know the Western Regions script, but this king believes that you are not lying. No one is dirty, and this king really can't touch you! Tell me, Miss Alice came to my Yangtao County, why did she come to me? ”

The other party is the lord of the Western Regions, and he is a post to visit, Xu Zhilan really can't do anything to the other party casually.

"King Yangtao is a cheerful person, I'll tell you the truth." Alice glanced at Lan Keqing and the others as she spoke.

"Keqing and Xiang'er are friends of life and death of this king, there is no need to shy away from it, please have something to say."

Lan Keqing understood that Xu Zhilan meant that except for her and Xiang'er, everyone else had to be avoided, so she waved her hand and drove away the subordinates, even though these subordinates were all descendants of the Qing Pavilion.

"Let's explain the killing of the witnesses first, my father really wants to cooperate with General Lu, and after several secret contacts between the two sides, some agreements have been reached. However, in the end, General Lu was recognized by Qin Yougui, of course, with Qin Yougui's temperament, most of them were mistakenly hit and framed. This is the traditional strength of the Great Chinese Dynasty, I wonder if Alice can guess correctly? Alice explained with a smile.
