"My mother must have discovered Qi Le’s intentions, or soone from his side leaked sothing that my mother noticed, which is why she managed to escape halfway. Their people probably searched but couldn’t find her, and later perhaps Song Hong’s people were also tracking my mother’s whereabouts. They were afraid of leaving clues and having Song Hong’s people find my mother, so they simply gave up."
"Unexpectedly, later on, it was Song Hong’s people who found my mother and , but unfortunately, my mother was already dead, and that thing, nobody found it. Qi Le’s biggest suspicion was that my mother might have left that thing for , so she never gave up searching for my whereabouts."
"All these years, her people have been watching the Duke Weiguo Residence closely. Thanks to Song Hong’s impressive thods and his capable subordinates, Qi Le’s people in the Capital City were probably limited, so they didn’t find anything out, until my appearance."
"She must have had people secretly observe for a long ti. They should have gone to investigate in Jing County too, so she might have guessed that regardless of whether I know the whereabouts of that thing or not, at least I would not know what it represents."
"The current Emperor has always had a bad attitude towards the Grasslands. Ever since he ascended the throne, within Great Chu, he has been rigorously investigating spies between countries, especially those from the Grasslands. Discover one, and the outco is definitely miserable. Therefore, Qi Huan’s people must have suffered significant losses over the years, and the remaining ones wouldn’t dare to act rashly."
"Even though they really want to find out sothing from , they ultimately dare not use the remaining resources in Great Chu. They’ve been pondering ways all along. It just so happened that I proposed establishing a comrcial channel between two countries, and then took a position in Chicheng County as the chief negotiator, which for Qi Huan, was simply a good thing falling into her lap."
"Taking advantage of the negotiations, she arranged people to et , observe , and then test . Now it seems my performance was good enough to catch her eye, hence this letter."
"Isn’t the final request to et at the Grasslands Royal Capital? Why she wants to et her there is self-evident."
Wang Yongzhu looked at Song Chongjin with so surprise, not expecting him to see so clearly and not be fooled by the enigmas revealed in Qi Huan’s letter.
But this was for the best, otherwise she’d have to find a way to make Song Chongjin a bit more clear-headed.
She promptly asked, "So what do you plan to do?"
Song Chongjin sneered, "The candy given by this aunt isn’t sweet, it might be wrapped in poison that could claim a life! But, the matter of the Qi Family back then, it all falls on her shoulders, only she knows what truly happened back then. She wants that thing, she’ll have to exchange sothing for it! It’s so crucial that the rulers of both countries haven’t given up all these years, it must hold significant aning. Let’s see what my dear aunt can offer in exchange!"
By the end, there was a hint of killing intent in his tone.
Wang Yongzhu knew that Song Chongjin had developed murderous intent towards Qi Huan.
She couldn’t help but say, "What do you think that thing represents? Is it really that important? Making Qi Huan and two successive Emperors of Great Chu hold on tight? It can’t be the Imperial Jade Seal?"
In Wang Yongzhu’s ti and space, in ancient tis, only the Imperial Jade Seal carved from the Heshibi was so revered because it was engraved with ’Mandate of Heaven, Longevity and Prosperity’, making emperors throughout the realm regard the holder of this seal as the legitimate ruler.
Could it be in this ti and space, there’s sothing similar, just in a different form?
Song Chongjin shook his head, "It shouldn’t be, although it appears to be so kind of symbol, I’ve searched through history books and found no such record. I rather think that maybe it’s not a symbol, but a key, or so sort of token—"
Wang Yongzhu was just about to speak when Chen Xing’s voice echoed in her mind again, "Honorable lady, I cordially request your help on behalf of the Alliance. The matter is of grave importance, could we discuss it in detail—"
Wang Yongzhu was montarily stunned, but quickly regained her composure, first asking Chen Xing to wait a mont, then she told Song Chongjin, "Whatever it is, as long as it’s in our hands, we’ll see what Qi Huan is up to and what tricks she wants to play."
Song Chongjin nodded, wanting to say sothing else when a guard ca in reporting that sothing had been discovered in the front and asked Song Chongjin to take a look.
With that, Song Chongjin couldn’t stay any longer, he had to get up and go outside, but left the letter to Wang Yongzhu.
Wang Yongzhu nodded, personally saw Song Chongjin out the door, then closed the door.
"Speak then, what’s happened? Why do you need my help?" Wang Yongzhu felt uneasy, sothing that prompted the Alliance to ask for her help certainly wasn’t good.
Otherwise, with the strength of the Alliance, why couldn’t they handle it? If they can’t do it, could she manage?
She muttered to herself as she listened to Chen Xing explain the matter step by step.
Initially, it was about the Alliance’s botanical garden being attacked by the Rebel Army, damaging many precious plants, including the White Jade Pearl.
Later, when they found the White Jade Pearl at this ti, the Alliance suspected the Rebel Army, having fled from the Alliance to evade capture, hid in this backward ti and space.
Therefore, Chen Xing had proposed that if Wang Yongzhu could facilitate it in the future, maybe she could go to the place where the White Jade Pearl was discovered back then, allow them to inspect closely to find a trace of the Rebel Army.
However, just now, when Song Chongjin brought in that letter, Chen Xing was scanning Wang Yongzhu’s body, aiming to send her physical qualities to the Federation’s hospital to determine a suitable nurturing pod for her.
At that mont, the scanning device alard, surprisingly detecting the Rebel Army’s pheromone.
Bear in mind, during the Rebel Army incident, the Alliance suffered heavy losses, taking at least twenty years to barely recover to the pre-rebellion state.
The Alliance held deep resentnt against the Rebel Army, developing a scanning function that alarms upon detecting the Rebel Army’s pheromone, enabling the Alliance to imdiately respond and track them.
However, all these years later, there’s been no trace of the Rebel Army, and with technology advancing, this scanning function has been discontinued on many planets except at the borders.
Only Chen Xing, being the main brain, retained this function throughout its evolution.
Amazingly, it detected that Song Chongjin’s letter contained the Rebel Army’s pheromone, this was indeed surprising information.
However, Chen Xing, being the main brain, reacted swiftly, imdiately contacting the Alliance’s highest authority.
Reporting the situation, the Alliance promptly convened an ergency eting, mindful that the Rebel Army is extrely cunning, possessing formidable anti-tracking capabilities against the Alliance, which was why the Alliance military fruitlessly searched all major star regions without finding them.
If the Alliance dispatched a pursuit team, it might alert them, as the Rebel Army is ruthless enough that in the event of being pushed too hard, they might destroy the entire planet where Wang Yongzhu resides.
