Chapter 397 The Future Young Prince

Meanwhile, Yun Qinghan casually glanced at Huo Feng, who seemed to be still in a daze, and went back to his room to rest. If he hadn't moved too fast at the beginning and was afraid of scaring his junior brother, he would have found a way to arrange a room for them. But his junior brother was still young, and what he wanted was mutual affection. He couldn't be impatient and had to take it slow.

The next day, early in the morning, after packing up, they went to Qingsong Mountain. Fearing that the bandits were in collusion with the government, they acted quietly. They had to wait until they had thoroughly investigated whether the government was innocent or not. If they were innocent, that would be the best. If they were related to the rebels of the previous dynasty, they would definitely be dealt with together.

Arriving at the place where the secret guards were waiting, Shu Xiaoxiao looked at the seemingly endless Qingsong Mountain. It was really so long and big. Qinglian Village might not even be one-tenth of it. It was so big, no wonder it could hide so many bandits!

The secret guards had already checked out several gangs of bandits in advance, but had not found any abnormal information. Yun Qinghan had actually completed most of the investigation yesterday. He had obtained evidence on the distribution of the bandits in the mountains and their usual tracks, and even which bandit dens here were related to the nearby county magistrate.

After all, the secret guards sent in advance were not there to eat for free, but Yun Qinghan always felt that something was wrong. Since they knew what was buried in the Qianqing Palace, they could not be simple bandits. From the information he saw, although these bandits had some connections with the government, there was still something wrong. There was something wrong with their relationship everywhere.

It is understandable that these bandits pay tribute to the nearby county magistrate. After all, they give the county magistrate some benefits, and the county magistrate can also give them some protection or useful information. But why do they transport a large amount of supplies into the mountains? Not to mention that the county magistrate also wants to store his own things in the mountains?

Although this news is not very certain and was only mentioned briefly in the intelligence, Yun Qinghan feels that this is correct and makes sense. The supplies inside are not for the bandits but for the army hidden inside. Isn't this right?

The most important thing is that many young and middle-aged people from the surrounding families are not here. It is said that they have gone to work in other places, and some say that they have joined the army. But Yun Qinghan has compared them carefully, and no matter whether they have gone to work in other places or joined the army, the number is wrong. There has been no large-scale conscription in recent years, and the secret should be in this mountain.

"We will split into two groups. You continue the previous exploration. If you have any questions, we can discuss them when I come back. My junior brother and I will go into the mountains. If we don't come out today, you should not act rashly. If there is an emergency, fireworks will be used as a signal, and you can provide support at any time."

Huo Feng hesitated: "Prince, why don't I go with you?" If the two masters were together and there was no one to protect them, what would these guards do if something happened?

Shu Xiaoxiao stood at the foot of the mountain and looked up, explaining in a relaxed manner: "It's not that I don't want you to follow me. My brother and I are riding Dabai, which is fast and safe. Can you follow us all the time? Too many people will make it easier to be exposed. If something goes wrong, it will be easier for us to retreat with Dabai."

"As for our safety, even if you are worried about my senior brother and Dabai, you can't be worried about my medicine powder. I sorted out my belongings yesterday. Don't worry, there is no danger in the small Qingsong Mountain." Shu Xiaoxiao waved her hand and pointed at the mountain, her face full of confidence. Other places would be fine.

In the mountains, she has spies all over the mountains. It would be terrible if she couldn't guarantee her own safety.

Huo Feng looked at the small Green Pine Mountain in Lord Ye's mouth with a twitching mouth, and then looked at the young master with a smile on his face beside him, and felt even more worried.

Along the way, Zhenzhu didn't see it, but he saw it in himself. His own prince had ulterior motives towards Lord Ye! Along the way, he hadn't found a chance to test the prince's true intentions. Was the prince going to take action now?

Others didn't understand what he meant yesterday, so how could he not understand? What kind of colleague dared to ask the prince such a question? Wasn't he talking about himself?

But Lord Ye’s answer was even more... even more unorthodox!

Their Dingbei Marquis Mansion has three generations... Ah, no, their Dingbei Marquis Mansion has only one generation. If the prince is determined to marry Ye Houye, what will happen to the next generation of Dingbei Marquis Mansion? The marquis and the princess, even the emperor, are counting on the prince to carry on the family line. The little prince of their Dingbei Marquis Mansion!

He knew the prince's temper very well. If he was not tempted, it would be fine. The prince would not care about any number of women. But if he had really set his eyes on Lord Ye, it would be unlikely that he would touch other women!

And Lord Ye, although he is a marquis, he has no real job and no strong family background. If the emperor and the princess take their anger out on Lord Ye, and the prince is in the middle...

Hiss, he simply couldn’t bear to imagine that bloody scene!

And during the trip with Lord Ye, the Young Master was very obedient to her, and she didn't feel anything wrong. She thought they were just a simple fellow apprentice relationship. How could the friendship between fellow apprentices be so pure? Not only did they ride a white tiger together every day, but every time they ate, the Young Master almost handed the food to her mouth. She didn't notice anything wrong.

Faced with Lord Ye's carelessness, he didn't know how to react.

Now he has to go out alone to investigate. Why is he so worried?

Looking at the prince's sweet smile, he doesn't intend to hide it at all. What should I do if I become even more panicked?

The prince won't just point it out, will he? What if Lord Ye doesn't agree? The prince won't do anything extreme, but if Lord Ye agrees, that's even worse!

This... this... Watching the two people riding the white tiger away, Huo Feng really wanted to follow them! At least let him know the development!

The secret guard next to him looked at Huo Feng's worried face and was a little puzzled: "Guard Huo, the prince's skills, what are you worried about? Besides, we have Dabai, which is faster than an ordinary tiger. And we brothers are also in the mountains, what are you worried about?"

He also remembered how Lord Ye charmed the entire hunting ground, so he felt that the prince was really safe. It was not like they had not encountered more dangerous situations than this. He didn't know what Guard Huo was worried about.

Huo Feng felt tired as he looked at the ignorant comfort in front of him. He felt really tired!

Is he worried about the safety of the prince?

What he was worried about was the safety of the future young master of Dingbei Marquis Mansion! Once the prince and Ye Houye went in, would they still have a young master in the future of Dingbei Marquis Mansion?
