So, what on earth was there in the Yong'an Village that made Cao Han take such a big risk to go there with Qian Zhuo?
What did he want to do by taking advantage of the secret hidden in the Yong'an Village?
Yun Shang thought for a while and called the secret guards out. "Follow them and don't let them find out. Just follow Cao Han and Qian Zhuo. Don't make a move for the time being."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Yun Shang curled up her fingers in her sleeves and said, "If what we expected is true, I'm afraid the thing hidden in the Yong'an Village is unusual."
Yun Shang was a little interested. If there was really something important hidden in the [Yong'an Village, she actually wanted to go there in person.
After all, it was related to the Dragon Mountains and the luck of the State of Xia. It was not to be ignored.
But...
Now that the rebellion had just come to an end, and everything was waiting for Luo Qingyan to sort them out. There were still a lot of things to deal with in the palace and in the city. If she left, Luo Qingyan would not be able to rest for a long time.
Knowing what Yun Shang was thinking, Ning Qian smiled and said, "I'll go to the Yong'an Village. I'm really curious about what's hidden there. It seems very interesting."
Yun Shang looked up at Ning Qian without saying anything for a long time.
Ning Qian raised her eyebrows, "Speaking of which, I haven't exercised for a long time. If you don't give me something to do, I'll be rusty."
Seeing that Ning Qian was eager to have a try, Yun Shang didn't know how she should feel. "If you want to exercise, you should ask Lord Wang for his permission, right? And if there was really something hidden in the Yong'an Village, this trip would not be peaceful, or even very dangerous. You are pregnant now. You can't take such a risk."
Qian Yin also smiled, "Yes, don't think about it anymore. Your Highness, you don't know that just now when I went to pick her up to come to the Imperial Palace together, Lord Wang followed us and gave us her a lot of advice."
"That's why I want to go out for a walk. If I staying in the jin City, Wangjinhuan will nag me all day long. It's so annoying."
"You are pregnant. You'd better be careful. I'll go." With a smile on her face, Qian Yin said, "Now my child has grown up, and I don't need to feed him myself. I just need a wet nurse to take care of him. And like Ning Qian, I haven't gone out to exercise for a long time."
Yun Shang smiled, "You both want to go, but I won't stop you if you can persuade your family and get everything settled."
Ning Qian smiled, "In fact, I don't think I'm in much danger this time.
The person who will do something on Dragon Mountains is only the one who covets the throne of the State of Xia. In addition, he must have some power. In the world, there are only two people who meet these two requirements. Xia Houjing and Cangjue Qingsu.
Xia Houjing is dead, Cangjue Qingsu is poisoned, and we are fighting with the State of Yelang, so he can't make a move now. As your highness said, Cao Han is cunning and good at endurance, but his strength is limited after all, so he is not a threat.
The only thing we need to be vigilant about is the Yong'an Village. If there is really something important hidden there, it must be heavily guarded."
After saying that, Ning Qian looked at Yun Shang and said, "Something happened to Qian Zhuo on the way back, but there must be a lot of secret guards with her.
It's impossible for Qian Zhuo to do everything by herself. Although those secret guards don't know the whole situation, they must know something. Why don't you find those secret guards and ask them carefully?"
"Then tell me what Qian Zhuo has experienced and done in the Yong'an Village.
Did anything special happen on the way there? If there was anything special, tell me too."
Shi Qi replied in a low voice and said, "On the way from the temporary imperial palace to the Yong'an Village, someone had been following us all the way, but they just followed us without making any move. They didn't stop until we entered the Ganhe County."
Ganhe County was the county where the Yong'an Village was located.
"Before we departed, when we checked the route, we also knew about the general situation of Ganhe County. The city was built near a mountain, and it was at the foot of a mountain called Zhuizi Mountain, forming a circle at the foot of the mountain.
There is only one official road in the county, and there are many mountains around. According to the information, there are a total of thirteen thousand people in Ganhe County, more than 7000 of whom live in the city.
But when we arrived at the Ganhe County, we found that the people living there didn't match the information."
Hearing this, Yun Shang lifted her eyelids, "Didn't match the information? Is it more or less?"
"Less." Shi Qi didn't hesitate at all. "And it's very straightforward to feel it, because most of the people in the county are old and weak women and children. There are very few young and strong men, and even not many women between twenty and thirty-five."
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and asked, "Where have those people gone? Did you ask
them?" "Of course I did." Shi Qi replied, "The people in the city seemed to be on guard against strangers like us. When we went to ask, it was not very smooth. Later, we found out that it was because of the barren condition of the Ganhe County, young and strong men and women all went to other places to make a living and earn money."
