Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

Chapter 269 Meeting Tianquan

The place Yun Fuling was going to was outside Jinzhou City, which was not very close.

It was naturally impossible for Yun Fuling and the other three to walk over there on foot.

It’s a pity that I didn’t bring the horse with me when I came out of Rugui Tower.

From Ruguilou to Li Yuan's antique shop, it almost spans half of Jinzhou City.

Now let’s go back to Rugui Tower to get the horse. The distance is not very close.

Fortunately, there are many carriage and horse rental businesses in Jinzhou City. You can rent a horse or a carriage by just finding a rental agency on the street.

Li Yuan thought that Yun Fuling and the others needed horses for transportation, so he told Yun Fuling this before they left.

So after Yun Fuling finished her noodles, she took the opportunity to ask the old man running the noodle stall.

The old man has been setting up a stall here all year round, so he naturally knows the surrounding situation very well.

Yun Fuling had just consumed noodles at the noodle stall, so the old man was naturally happy to show her the way.

"Go down this street and turn north at the second intersection."

Yun Fuling thanked the old man.

After the three of them finished their noodles, Yaoguang paid the bill and walked along the street towards the cattle and horse market ahead.

Before reaching the cattle and horse market, there is a large dental shop on the side of the street.

Yun Fuling didn't want to go through the trouble, so she just found a broker and rented three horses.

In just a quarter of an hour, all the formalities were completed.

This shows that the horse rental business in Jinzhou is already very mature.

Yun Fuling and the other two rode on the rented horses, went out of the north gate, and went straight to the place Zhao Xuesi mentioned.

It was a forest.

After Yun Fuling found the place, he took out the flute given to him by Zhao Xuesi and blew three times, two long and one short, as a secret signal.

After a while, there were rustling noises in the forest.

Seeing the person coming, Yun Fuling widened her eyes in surprise, "Tian Quan!"

Tian Quan was also surprised when he saw Yun Fuling.

"Princess, why are you here?"

Yun Fuling did not answer his question, but asked, "Why aren't you with the prince?"

Although Tianquan is no longer a secret guard, but has become Xiao Jingyi's personal bodyguard, his kung fu is very good. Following Xiao Jingyi, Xiao Jingyi's safety is naturally guaranteed.

Unexpectedly, Tianquan was not with Xiao Jingyi.

Although Yun Fuling was worried about Xiao Jingyi before, she wanted to find him as soon as possible.

Yun Fuling felt that there was no problem with Xiao Jingyi's safety.

Firstly, Xiao Jingyi himself is skilled in martial arts, and he has fought on the battlefield before, so he knows how to avoid danger.

Secondly, Tianquan is by his side, and there are probably not many people in this world who can defeat Tianquan and hurt Xiao Jingyi.

Third, Xiao Jingyi has the drop of space spiritual water given to him by Yun Fuling.

With this drop of space spiritual water, there will be no problem in keeping your life.

However, now that she knew that Tian Quan did not protect Xiao Jingyi closely, Yun Fuling's heart sank involuntarily, and she suddenly felt a little more anxious.

She took a deep breath, barely controlled her emotions, and said in a deep voice:

"I received news that the prince and Commander-in-Chief Zuo were missing, so I rushed to Jinzhou to look for the prince."

"I just met Zhao Xuesi. He had been seriously injured and unconscious, and was rescued by the Shadow Blade Division."

"He told me that there was a group of people here, so I came here."

Yun Fuling's words were like bombs, making Tianquan's head buzz and he was extremely frightened.

He knew that Yun Fuling would not lie to him about such a big thing.

Moreover, the appearance of Yun Fuling also proved the truthfulness of her words.

The situation in Jinzhou is complicated and full of crises. If Xiao Jingyi hadn't disappeared, Yun Fuling would not have been able to get here so quickly.

In fact, Tianquan had some doubts in his heart before, but he never dared to think about it that way.

When Yun Fuling saw Tian Quan’s confused look, she realized that he still didn’t know about the disappearance of Xiao Jingyi and Zuo Yan.

"What on earth is going on with you?"

"You are the prince's personal bodyguard, why don't you follow the prince?"

Tian Quan came back to his senses and replied, "It was the prince who asked me to stay here and keep a close eye on the situation in Xiaoyue Bay."

Yun Fuling was surprised and asked, "Is this Xiaoyue Bay?"

The place where the Wen family smuggled goods was in Xiaoyue Bay.

Tian Quan raised his hand and pointed: "Go through this forest, and on the other side of the forest is Xiaoyue Bay."

"This place is high, and from here, we can see clearly what's happening over at Xiaoyue Bay."

"The prince discovered that the Wen family was doing smuggling business with the Japanese. The golden paste was most likely brought by those Japanese, so he has been investigating the smuggling matter."

"There was some movement in Xiaoyue Bay a few days ago, so the prince and Commander-in-Chief Zuo disguised themselves as civilians, hoping to sneak into the escort team, investigate those Japanese people, and get evidence of smuggling and transporting the gold paste."

"The prince ordered us to monitor the movements of Xiaoyue Bay here, and to pick him up with Commander Zuo after they get the evidence."

After hearing this, Yun Fuling asked, "When was the last time you saw the prince?"

Tian Quan counted on his fingers and replied, "It was the tenth day."

"It was that night that the prince and Commander-in-Chief Zuo disguised themselves as civilians and followed the escort team in an attempt to sneak onto the ship."

On the tenth day, Zhao Xuesi was found in Jinyu Tower, seriously injured.

It was also the day when Xiao Jingyi and Zuo Yan discovered Wen Zhao meeting with the Japanese and a mysterious man wearing a cloak and mask in Jinyu Tower.

According to Zhao Xuesi, Xiao Jingyi and Zuo Yan later followed the Japanese man and left.

Presumably they followed all the way to Xiaoyue Bay and found that the goods were being loaded onto the ship, so they left a message for Tianquan and the others and took the opportunity to blend in with the laborers.

Yun Fuling thought for a moment and asked, "On the tenth day, did you see clearly whether the prince got on the boat?"

Tianquan shook his head.

"Although the terrain here is high, if there is any movement in Xiaoyue Bay, we will find it."

"But it was too dark at night. I could only see the figure vaguely, but not the face clearly."

"I only know that the prince and the left commander did sneak into the civilian population that night, but I don't know what happened afterwards."

"We have been waiting for news here according to the prince's instructions."

"But we have been waiting until now, and we still haven't seen the prince and the left commander come back."

"I was worried that something might happen to the prince and Commander-in-Chief Zuo, so I sent people to Jinzhou City to inquire about it."

"It's just that I haven't found out any news about the prince and the left commander."

"I was worried about delaying the prince's important event, so I didn't dare to tell the Shadow Blade Division too clearly, for fear that the news would leak out and affect the prince's plan."

"As for Mr. Zhao San, I thought the prince had something else to tell him to do, so I didn't bother with it."

So Tianquan never knew that Zhao Xuesi was seriously injured and unconscious.

Yun Fuling didn't know what to say for a moment.

This is the consequence of not communicating information in a timely manner.

Obviously, everyone is here to do the same thing, but they are divided into several parts and each does their own thing.

There is not even the most basic timely feedback or exchange of information.
