Rakshasa King’s City, Crown Prince’s residence.
Concubine ng Tuoluo thought that returning to the Crown Prince’s residence this ti would inevitably result in inhuman treatnt. She expected to endure all the humiliations that concubines like Nini’an had faced before, and perhaps even more torture, becoming less valued than a servant girl.
However, facts proved that she was overthinking it.
After arriving at the Crown Prince’s residence, she continued to enjoy luxury and opulence, surrounded by countless servants. She was clothed in fine garnts and fed exquisite food. Even the Crown Prince would affectionately call her "darling" every ti he saw her.
The only change was that Empress Ni Shang, who was originally indifferent to her, beca even colder.
However, this did not make ng Tuoluo happy; instead, it made her even more furious.
As a loser, the Crown Prince couldn’t even bother to torture her, which showed how insignificant and worthless she was.
Therefore, ng Tuoluo began to test the waters, no longer locking herself in her room all day. She frequently stepped out of her courtyard and gradually ventured out of the Crown Prince’s residence.
After twelve hours of hesitation, ng Tuoluo felt that the final mont had arrived. She had to take action; she refused to accept a fate of failure and planned a lethal counterattack.
So, she went alone to the street market in Rakshasa King’s City.
She needed to contact the most deeply hidden spy of the Motuo Empire, to send the first, last, and only intelligence signal to Princess Na Xue.
In her view, this was equivalent to dropping a nuclear bomb on the entire Southern Barbaric Lands, capable of instantly changing the entire course of the war. (Of course, she didn’t understand the term "nuclear bomb.")
This spy was just an ordinary-looking Rakshasa Tribesperson in the Rakshasa City’s market, indistinguishable from the surrounding Rakshasas.
However, this spy had spent his childhood in the Motuo Empire, had been lurking here for many years, and had never been activated or used.
He appeared extrely ordinary, yet he was imnsely important.
Moreover, ng Tuoluo had never previously contacted this spy. There was only a particular location where soone wearing distinct attire would shout a special sales pitch.
This person was the spy hidden deepest in the Rakshasa King’s City.
ng Tuoluo easily found this Motuo Empire spy.
She approached him and cursed using a special tone, as if venting her emotions in a very normal manner.
However, the lurking Motuo Empire spy imdiately perked up and glanced at ng Tuoluo from the corner of his eye,
seeing the distinctive attire and special decorations that matched their prior agreent.
ng Tuoluo walked past him, as if shielding her eyes from the sun, using her jade hand to block the light, bending her fingers to tap the air. The sequence of the fingers, the number of taps, all carried a precise rhythm.
It must be said, in this era, using such sophisticated thods to relay intelligence was extrely impressive, almost comparable to Morse code.
It could be said that this thod of contact was so secret that it was nearly impossible to detect or decipher.
With ng Tuoluo’s interaction with that spy on the street, there was almost no eye contact, no direct interaction.
As she left the market street and after delivering the ssage, ng Tuoluo’s entire delicate body relaxed, and she exhaled a long breath.
At last, she finally sent out that crucial directive.
The thod of using bent fingers to tap the air to send directives was invented by that genius Princess Na Xue.
Of course, she couldn’t invent Morse code, so she could only transmit the most basic orders.
For instance, the intelligence ng Tuoluo sent this ti was: Go south!
She wanted to tell Princess Na Xue that the ti to move south had arrived.
But had the ti to move south truly arrived? Only heaven knew.
The reason ng Tuoluo sent this directive was that she couldn’t accept failure, couldn’t accept her own failure, and couldn’t accept Prince You Ming’s failure. She wanted to use Princess Na Xue’s power to reverse the defeat.
In her view, as long as Princess Na Xue marched south with imnse power, she could instantly reverse the defeat.
Moreover, in her opinion, Little Rakshasa King was not a suitable candidate for Princess Na Xue to choose, as he was too arrogant, not fitting to be even half a puppet.
Of course, Prince You Ming was also extrely intelligent, yet he was soone who could be bargained with.
Of course, these were so of the reasons she sent out the directive, but unfortunately, she couldn’t explain it to Princess Na Xue in detail, so she had to first ask her to move south.
...
Over half an hour later!
The spy who t ng Tuoluo had been captured and was kneeling before Little Rakshasa King.
"Are you a spy of the Motuo Empire?" Little Rakshasa King asked.
The spy wanted to deny it, but under Little Rakshasa King’s overwhelmingly powerful spiritual power, lying was impossible.
He could choose to remain silent, could conceal secrets, but he couldn’t lie.
"I didn’t expose any flaw. How did you discover ?" the spy asked.
Little Rakshasa King said, "My concubine ng Tuoluo is very beautiful. When she walked past, almost everyone looked at her face, except you, who looked down instead, trying to cover up, which made you stand out imdiately."
"Ah..." The spy was speechless, not expecting such a trivial detail to expose him.
After a good while, he said, "That was my mistake, a fatal mistake, but trying to get any intelligence out of is utterly impossible."
Little Rakshasa King shook his head and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t interrogate or torture you. The intelligence ng Tuoluo gave you should be for Princess Na Xue to move south."
