Chapter 1093: Chapter 916, Lesson

After Bu Gandang left, Xiao Yeyang turned to Daohua: "Alright, I have finished discussing my matter, now it’s time to talk about yours."

Daohua looked puzzled: "My matter? What matter do I have?" _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}

Xiao Yeyang walked over and sat down: "How did you come to Jianzhou Guard? And why did you come to this military camp?"

Daohua’s eyes flickered slightly: "That Yan Shouhou heard from Wei Hong’s trusted aide about you recruiting dancers here, so I knew about it and naturally had to come and see."

Xiao Yeyang pulled her into his embrace, his eyes dangerously: "So, you don’t trust me?"

Daohua turned her head away, speaking with less confidence: "I came here personally because I trust you, just to check out the situation."

Xiao Yeyang humphed, his face expressing strong disapproval: "Xiliang is still not peaceful yet, and it is a long journey from Ganzhou Guard to Jianzhou Guard. What if you were to encounter danger?"

Daohua retorted stubbornly: "With Dongli and the others with me, how could I encounter danger? Besides, I am not so easily bullied."

Xiao Yeyang rubbed his forehead: "What was uncle thinking, allowing you to come out?"

Daohua: "Because my master knows that I am sensible and won’t act rashly." She glanced at Xiao Yeyang’s expression, and seeing it lighten somewhat, she dared to speak on, "That said, I actually did encounter something this time out."

Xiao Yeyang’s gaze suddenly sharpened: "What happened?"

Daohua hastily said: "Wei Hong’s trusted aide was either bribed or threatened, and he deliberately leaked your activities here to Yan Shouhou, then lured me here to find you."

"I was targeted as soon as I left the city gate. They said they wanted to kidnap me and sell me to Xiliao. Do you know who is behind this?"

Xiao Yeyang’s expression turned very ugly: "Wei Hong?"

Daohua: "I don’t know if it’s Wei Hong, but we extracted someone’s name, a person called Madam Peony."

Xiao Yeyang’s face darkened: "I know Madam Peony. She is the mistress kept by the Xiliao merchants here for the horse trade— that dancer named Yiyi was trained by her."

He humphed.

"Definitely Wei Hong’s manipulation behind the scenes. Wei Hong said that the tribe from which the horse traders come intends to ally with Daxia, hence they agreed to sell us so many horses."

"Looking at it now, it’s likely that there’s a collusion with him, Wei Hong, and perhaps even the Xiliao Imperial Family is involved."

Daohua: "Don’t get angry yet; I still have more to say. Guess who I saw later in Jianzhou City?"

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua: "Who?"

Daohua: "Jiang, Wan, Ying!"

Xiao Yeyang’s brow furrowed instantly: "Isn’t she married to Yelu Kangda? She should be with the Xiliao Imperial Family now!"

Daohua shrugged her shoulders: "But she is here in this military camp now. I followed her here, but after entering the camp, I lost sight of her."

"Jiang Wanying dressed like a dancer, I think she is Madam Peony!"

Xiao Yeyang fell into thought; he had people watching over the military camp, but didn’t pay much attention to the dancers.

Xiao Yeyang immediately called Difu in: "Send someone to investigate this Madam Peony associated with the Xiliao merchants."

Daohua continued: "That Madam Peony gave some drug to that dancer named Yiyi; do you know about it?"

Xiao Yeyang shook his head: "Every time that dancer entered the tent, Bu Gandang sent her through a newly dug underground tunnel to the neighboring tent."

Uh...

Daohua was somewhat tearful, did she not just shoot herself in the foot?

...

The next day, De Fu came early and waited outside the tent.

Normally Xiao Yeyang would head to oversee the military town construction at dawn, but today, Wei Hong and others noticed, by the end of Chen time (9:00 AM), Xiao Yeyang still hadn’t come out from the tent.

Wei Hong entered Jiang Wanying’s tent with a smile, "The Hehuan Drug should have taken effect by now."

Jiang Wanying’s face lit up with joy, "That’s really great." Then, pausing a moment, she asked, "When will Xiao Yeyang die?"

Wei Hong stepped forward and lifted Jiang Wanying’s chin, "What, can’t bear to part with him?"

Jiang Wanying stared back at Wei Hong’s disgusting old face, coldly laughing, "I can’t bear to let Xiao Yeyang off so easily."

Hearing this, Wei Hong let go of Jiang Wanying with a laugh, "No way around it, we can only let Xiao Yeyang die in a woman’s bed so the Emperor won’t be able to hold him accountable."

Continuing, he unabashedly scanned Jiang Wanying up and down, suggesting whimsically, "Or else, considering how dedicatedly you’ve taken care of me recently, I might as well let you vent your anger."

Jiang Wanying took a deep breath, "Forget about Xiao Yeyang. Once those bandits have captured Yan Yiyi and you’ve had your fun, make sure to hand her over to me."

Wei Hong smiled and nodded, "Sure, everything as you wish." Then, his smile fading, "It’s been a while since Fan Tong went back to Ganzhou City, why hasn’t there been any message from there?"

Jiang Wanying also furrowed her brows, "Yan Yiyi doesn’t come from a distinguished background, lacking presence of a great family, maybe worried about dangers on the road, she dares not leave the city?"

Wei Hong pondered and then said, "Let’s do this, I’ll let Kuku hand over the second batch of horses to Xiao Yeyang. Surely, someone will bring the horses back to Ganzhou City. Then we can spread some rumors about how Xiao Yeyang dotes on the dancer to his wife."
