Chapter 615 I'm back, getting ready to return to Ping County
After those people left, the two guards who were guarding the passage remained there and did not leave at all. Seeing this, Du Mingxian quietly left the space and followed the people carrying food away.
The mountain path was difficult to walk on, and she was afraid of disturbing the people ahead, so she walked very carefully.
We walked for almost a mile before we saw houses ahead.
All the houses were thatched huts, not brick or tile houses. There were quite a few houses, and a group of men were distributing food in the open space in front of them. Du Mingxian saw a man who looked very much like the village chief, who was probably the old man's second or third son.
Watching them silently get their food and eat, and finally all gather together, Du Mingxian always felt that these people were up to no good.
As darkness fell, some rooms were already occupied by sleeping guests, but one or two rooms remained unoccupied. She quietly went to eavesdrop.
"Father has arrived in the capital. As long as that child can threaten the Crown Prince, things will be much easier from here on out."
"It's hard to say. Hopefully, things will go smoothly. It would be better if the Crown Prince acknowledged the child and was coerced by us. That way, our grand plan would be more likely to succeed."
"Now we're just waiting for Dad's results. If they're really good, we'll go all out next."
"Second brother, eldest brother has already come out, why hasn't he returned yet? There are still our own people here."
"The timing is about right. I'll send someone to meet them tomorrow. They might walk the rest of the way, so it will be a bit slow."
"Ah."
When Du Mingxian heard these people using the child to threaten the Crown Prince, she slowly curled her lips. Luckily, she had switched the child early on. She really wanted to see their faces when they found out the truth.
Upon discovering that their key figures were all here, Du Mingxian quietly left. In order to save time, she put on night vision goggles and searched for a way out in the mountains that night.
Aside from going into the space at night to breastfeed, the rest of the time was spent traveling, and they didn't leave until dawn.
Looking back now, that passage was the easiest to walk through. There was a particularly difficult section in the middle, and I don't know how those people found that spot.
Du Mingxian walked onto the official road, changed horses, and hurried back to the inn where Ling Silang was staying. They hadn't left yet today.
When Ling Silang saw her return, he quickly poured her a glass of water. "Take a break first."
Wen Yibin looked at Du Mingxian holding the child in her arms, his brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly, but he didn't say a word.
After drinking some water, Du Mingxian recounted her findings: "Their key figures are all there; it should be their last stronghold. Let's just go and take it down."
“We don’t know if any of the people around us have been bribed, so we can’t notify anyone before we go,” Wen Yibin said first, fearing that the previous betrayal would happen again.
Ling Silang nodded in agreement, "You're right."
Wen Yibin stared at Du Mingxian and said, "Go back to your room and rest first. We'll take care of the rest. Just tell us where it is and take good care of the child."
“Okay.” Du Mingxian even drew a diagram for him, “The women in the village are not innocent.”
"Don't worry, I'm going to capture them all."
Du Mingxian didn't sleep much last night and was quite tired. After returning to Ling Silang's room, she went straight into her spatial dimension to sleep.
I was sleeping very soundly, but I was still woken up by An'an's crying.
I quickly fed An'an and changed her diaper. The little one wouldn't sleep; she just stared at me and laughed, revealing a toothless smile.
Her body, which had been somewhat tired, vanished upon seeing her child's smile, leaving Du Mingxian feeling nothing but happiness.
Suddenly, she heard the door outside the space open, and she saw Ling Silang walk in and turn around to close the door.
They pulled people in from outside the space.
"Would you like something to eat? Did you just wake up?" Ling Silang asked.
Du Mingxian was a little hungry. "I just woke up. An'an has had her milk. I'm going to get something to eat."
"You sit down and I'll make it for you."
"No need to cook. Just take out some of the food I made earlier."
"it is good."
Soon Du Mingxian finished eating, with Ling Silang accompanying her. "You don't need to worry about what happens next. Take Xia Yu and Xiang Yang back to Ping County first. We'll go back after we've taken care of things here."
"Xiangyang is back?"
"Yes, she's not a traitor."
"I guessed it. The person behind this is after the child. It's too easy for Xiangyang to get in touch with An'an and do this." At this point, Du Mingxian thought of that Tapo Princess.
She threw him into a corner, put a sack over his head, and no one knows if he's dead or not.
Ling Silang assured her, "Things here will be over soon, and we'll fake our deaths and leave."
"it is good."
"Anyone among us that you want to stay? If not, after we fake our deaths, we'll let them leave."
"Granny Dong should take them with her. It's not easy for one person. Also, take all the servants I bought before with her. They can be used when we get home."
"Alright." Ling Silang agreed to her request.
Du Mingxian was worried about where Xiangyang and the others were going. "Xiangyang was given to you by your father, so he probably won't take him back. But your father probably didn't expect that Xiang Guang, who is by your side, would be a traitor."
Ling Silang smiled as he thought of Lord Wen's dark face. "Then I'll tell Lord Wen about this when I see him later."
"He'd be furious."
Du Mingxian was happy.
“Return all the people the Crown Prince gave us. Chunfeng and Xiayu came with us to investigate the case. The matter of Prince Ming has already been investigated, so there is no great use for them to stay with us.”
Ling Shilang shared the same thought, "I have the same thought too."
"That's perfect. You can talk to Qiu Shu and the others about it later."
"to make."
After the two finished talking, Du Mingxian also finished eating, came out of the room, and went to see the two people she had brought into the space.
While watching the women cook at the woman's house, she also fed the two women water, and now she is somewhat worried that they might not be able to hold on.
Fortunately, the two of them are doing quite well.
Tiger's mother looked very haggard, and Princess Tapo's face was as white as paper because she had been locked up there early.
"This is the person who helped me give birth. She's not in good health. Could you take her pulse?"
"Alright." Ling Silang stepped forward to take Hu Zi's mother's pulse, checking both of her hands, and finally just shook his head, "It won't be long, be prepared."
Du Mingxian originally thought that if she brought the person out, the person would survive, but who knew that even after being rescued, the person still... still wouldn't survive.
"I wonder if the spiritual water will work on her?"
"That might require a lot, just as many as I came back to life."
Du Mingxian remained silent; she didn't have that much spiritual water right now.
Ling Silang could only offer her gentle comfort, but when he saw Princess Tharva, he was quite surprised, "Who is this?"
“Princess Dharva, by the way, she said her father, the emperor, has also come. It’s probably true.”
"The leader of the Tathagatas? This is a big deal."
