Li Hongyu shook his head, “This is confidential, and my father never allows near the military camp, so I’m unaware.”

Several subordinates were stunned, then looked at Li Hongyu collectively, thinking, ‘Master, you just exposed your identity!’

It took a mont for Li Hongyu to realize what he had said, and he sneakily turned to look at Chu Tang, relieved internally that Chu Tang seed not to have noticed his slip.

But the next second, his expression froze. Another possibility for Chu Tang’s non-reaction dawned on him—Chu Tang might already know his identity.

Chu Tang naturally stated, “No need to look, I know you are the prince of eastern border King.”

Li Hongyu felt as if soone was spying on him from the shadows, he asked anxiously, “How do you know? When did you find out?”

Chu Tang said calmly, “I have my sources. As for when I found out, does it matter?”

Li Hongyu sized up Chu Tang, who looked calm but seed unfathomably deep. What exactly was Chu Tang’s background?

“I’m just the fool here.”

“No need to be so hard on yourself, you’re doing fine.” Chu Tang pointed at the jade pendant on Li Hongyu’s waist, “If you’d keep your pendant hidden, it wouldn’t be so easy to give yourself away.”

The subordinates again collectively looked at Li Hongyu’s jade pendant, their synchronized actions almost comical.

Li Hongyu quickly hid the pendant, “I can’t tell if you’re comforting .”

“I’m not comforting you, I’m reminding you.” Chu Tang leaned forward, looking in one direction for a while, “Take to the eastern border military camp.”

“No,” Li Hongyu refused without a second thought.

Chu Tang turned back to look at Li Hongyu, his gaze calm yet pressuring, “Why not?”

Li Hongyu stuttered, “Taking you there would be betraying my father…”

Chu Tang glanced at the arrow in his hand, “You’ve just told it was from your soldiers. Isn’t that betrayal already?”

Li Hongyu remained firm, “What I did just now was to help solve a mystery for a friend. Taking you to the camp would be true betrayal. I won’t do sothing that betrays my father.”

Chu Tang twirled the arrow in his hand slowly, “Are you forcing to use other thods?”

Li Hongyu declared firmly, “Even if you kill , I won’t tell.”

“Alright.” Chu Tang guessed Li Hongyu probably didn’t know much anyway. Better to ask soone more knowledgeable, and with that, he vanished from the spot.

Li Hongyu and his n felt a flicker before their eyes, and Chu Tang was gone.

His subordinates looked around nervously, “Master, where did he go?”

Li Hongyu said helplessly, “He’s gone. You said he was exceptionally skilled, right? Naturally, his lightness skill is also extraordinary.”

One of the subordinates, concerned, asked, “Master, what do we do now?”

“What can we do? Let’s go back,” Li Hongyu said, feeling a bit frustrated. He really wanted to befriend Chu Tang, but now their relationship had turned sour.

One of the subordinates handed Li Hongyu a gift box, “Master, we haven’t given him our gift yet.”

“We’ll give it next ti,” Li Hongyu took the gift box and flew away, his subordinates exchanged glances and followed him.

…

In the military camp.

Using the disguise of ng Shengdong, Chu Qingning entered the command tent, only to find Tang Jinghong alone. She reverted to her original appearance, “Jinghong.”

“Qingning?” Tang Jinghong stood up in surprise, placed a cushion on a seat for Chu Qingning to sit on, and moved another chair next to it for himself.

Chu Qingning placed the arrow on the table, “Can you tell which military camp or force uses this arrow?” She did not fully trust Li Hongyu.

Tang Jinghong picked up the arrow, separated the arrowhead from the shaft, revealing a blue segnt covered by the arrowhead. He sniffed it, “This is used by the military.”

“Is it from the eastern border guard?” Chu Qingning asked.

Tang Jinghong stated impartially, “It’s possible, but the eastern border has more than just guards; there’s also the border defense army, and they use the sa arrows.”

“The border army could be suspected too?” Chu Qingning pondered, “This was used to kill my fourth sister. Would the border army do such a thing?”

Tang Jinghong furrowed his brows, “Qingning, I can’t confirm the situation in the border army right now. They are close to the eastern border and are likely already infiltrated.”

Chu Qingning nodded, “True, it might be that soone stole the military’s arrows to fra soone else.”
