Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 477 Undercurrent

The surface of the sea looked like a piece of blue satin that had been shaken out, with a light blue veil covering the satin. The embroidery thread in the sky sewed the sea and sky together. A few seabirds flew by, and a few crisp cries were heard.

The ship docked ahead of schedule, but the three princes heading south had no intention of getting off the ship.

"Fifth brother, why did you ask Li Xiguang to go to Annan so early?"

The seventh prince Qin Mingrui turned his head slightly and looked at the fifth prince Qin Mingzhang who was playing with a golden sword on the deck.

Before they set out, Li Xiguang had already set out. The three brothers stopped and walked along the way, but Li Xiguang went straight to Annan.

The fifth prince Qin Mingzhang put away the golden sword with ease, and the sword in his hand fell casually at his side.

His fingertips stroked the red and blue sapphires inlaid on the hilt. Although the luster of the gems was not as sharp and dazzling as the blade, the bright colors were also wantonly and ostentatious, without any restraint or subtlety.

Qin Mingzhang gave a meaningful smile and said, "Do you want to guess?" with a proud tone.

The eighth prince Qin Mingyan smiled indifferently and said nonchalantly: "It's nothing more than going to inquire about the situation in advance and find out the specific distribution of local forces. What other reasons could there be?"

The seventh prince Qin Mingrui lowered his eyes and shook his head.

During this trip south, my father sent night messengers to follow them. Wherever they went, information about the next stop would be delivered to them first.

The intelligence contains every detail, nothing is left unorganized. Although it is complicated, it is not difficult to unravel and find the key information.

It is an aid, and also a training for them by their father.

When he was in Qiongzhou, he glanced at the latest changes in the situation in Annan and could detect the abnormality with his peripheral vision. The seventh prince Qin Mingrui thought that it was the turmoil caused by the news of their upcoming arrival, or it might be the arrangement of his father.

But if you think about it carefully, you will understand the connection between them.

After the three of them visited Li Ren'an in Beijing, Li Ren'an recommended his nephew Li Xiguang to them.

Li Xiguang followed Li Ren'an to Nanyue to take office at the age of twelve. In the past ten years, he traveled all over Guangdong, Annan. Although he was not a local boss, he was also a help.

But when he went to pay a visit to his fifth brother, he disappeared.

The fifth brother received a letter from Annan when he was in Qiongzhou.

This connection Annan situation is extremely turbulent -

"Fifth brother, you arranged for people to go ahead and make the situation in Annan more chaotic. Are you planning to fish in troubled waters?"

"We three brothers are princes and angels who came to Annan. You are adding fuel to the fire. Isn't this contrary to the purpose of our trip? We are here to maintain stability and clear up the situation, not to gain benefits."

The fifth prince Qin Mingzhang sneered, "Fishing in troubled waters? Seventh brother, you underestimate me too much. You two still have a lot to learn."

Qin Mingzhang raised his hand and ordered his men to bring Li Xiguang's letter.

A thin letter, beautiful handwriting, and a densely packed page.

The seventh prince Qin Mingrui took the envelope, took out the letter, unfolded it, and scanned it quickly, his expression becoming more and more serious.

The eighth prince Qin Mingyan gathered behind the seventh prince Qin Mingrui and muttered, "The characters are too small."

He read the letter and frowned.

The words are small, but the matter is not small.

Before Qin Mingrui could question it, the eighth prince Qin Mingyan asked, "Fifth brother, if you do this and things go wrong, the emperor will not let you go."

He and his seventh brother could not escape the scolding from their father.

"And even if you succeed, how will the officials in the court view you if you use such means?"
