Chapter 405: Diverting trouble to the east
Jiang Lili and Xin Che successfully moved all the medicinal herbs with additives onto the carriage until it was full. Xin Che secured the cargo with the existing ropes on the carriage and patted the driver on the shoulder.
The driver was immediately frightened and trembled: "Sir, do you have any other instructions?"
Xin Che imitated one of the two assassins and ordered the groom in a rough voice: "The goods are loaded, you can leave."
The Xin family army has been on the move for many years and often has to go undercover and disguise, so the skill of imitating voices is a must.
Upon hearing this, the coachman felt as if he had been pardoned and quickly drove away in his carriage.
Jiang Lili used the group chat camera to take pictures of the inn and its surroundings. Not knowing which inn this was, she sent it to Master Liao and asked him to check it out with the help of the Third Prince.
The two of them returned to the basement along the two-way passage, and no more accidents happened after that.
That night, Jiang Lili cleaned up the basement completely.
After walking around such a large underground warehouse, Jiang Lili felt exhausted. In the end, Xin Che half-carried her back. When they got back to the side hall of the cat room, Jiang Lili fell asleep as soon as she lay on the bed.
Xin Che tucked in the quilt for Jiang Lili. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, a look of heartache flashed across his eyes. He leaned beside her and watched over her as she slept.
The next morning, Jiang Lili was awakened by the noisy noise outside. There seemed to be a lot of people gathered outside Mao'er's room. She had just sat up from the bed when Xin Che pushed the door open and walked in. He whispered to her, "The private vault was stolen. Now the princess's guards are leading people to search the princess's mansion. We have to search here as well."
Jiang Liming wondered where the noisy sound came from. She put on her clothes and got out of bed, then went to the cat's room with Xin Che. The guards who were searching were standing at the gauze door outside the cat's room. The cat's room was a place comparable to the princess's bedroom, and they did not dare to enter without permission.
The head of the guards asked through the screen door: "Manager Jiang, have you all settled the cats? Can you let us in?"
Jiang Lili came over with disinfectant spray, "You can't let too many people in at a time. You can only send five people at most. It's easy to scare the cat."
"I'll disinfect you."
The leader of the guards had no choice but to pull out five people to cooperate with Jiang Lili.
While Jiang Lili was disinfecting them, she asked, "Big brother, what happened in the princess's mansion?"
She looked timid: "Will it affect the cats in the cat room?"
The chief of the guards replied expressionlessly, "The princess has lost a valuable piece of jewelry and we are searching for it."
"I see."
Jiang Lili laughed secretly when she heard this lame excuse.
After entering the cat's room, he led five people to search the cat's room, but did not find anything unusual, so he withdrew with his people in disappointment.
"Things are going to change in the Princess's Mansion. We'll probably have to evacuate in a few days."
Jiang Lili stroked the big orange cat curled up at her feet reluctantly. She was a little worried about these little guys, so she found a chance to pack them up and take them away.
Xin Che saw that Jiang Lili looked at the cats with more affection than when she looked at him. He reached out and plucked the cat hair off Jiang Lili's clothes. His eyes were gloomy, but his tone was quite generous: "Lili, are you going to keep these kittens by your side from now on?"
Jiang Lili helplessly spread her hands: "Too many, I can't take care of them all. Let's find good owners for them."
Xin Che breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Lili suddenly remembered an important matter: "By the way, didn't you send two Xin family soldiers to protect Chen, the shopkeeper at the chicken market stall? Can you help me pass a message to Chen, the shopkeeper?"
Xin Che nodded: "You go ahead."
Jiang Lili leaned over and whispered in his ear.
Xin Che raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Selling tickets to avoid the war?"
Jiang Lili nodded heavily: "War is a great time to make a fortune! Isn't our country short of manpower?"
"Wen Qiao sent me a message, she is back from her overseas cruise!"

The Third Prince's Mansion.
Master Liao sat on a stone bench in the garden, smacking his lips as he ate the little candy man.
The tall and big Third Prince was practicing radio gymnastics seriously in front of Master Liao. The expression on his face was a little bit tense. He believed in every word he said and had memorized the radio gymnastics demonstration pictures he gave him by heart.
"one two three four……"
Sheng Qingyun performed the radio gymnastics movements diligently and in a standard manner: "Five, six, seven, eight..."
He has memorized the secret book given to him by his master. Now he does not need to look at the secret book as he has already memorized the whole set of physical training techniques.
After finishing a set of radio gymnastics, he came to sit beside Master Liao with a flushed face, his eyes full of admiration and respect, "Master, you are really a genius. Last night I sent people to hijack the carriage that left from Cheng Chunhui Pharmacy, and my second sister was really thrown into disarray!"
"And according to the information Su Rui handed over, the princess's mansion sent guards to search for something in the mansion early this morning. It should be just as you predicted, the private vault of the princess's mansion was stolen!
I just don’t know who did this, could it be my eldest brother?”
Sheng Qingyun felt that Su Rui, her male favorite, was really useful, and provided him with a lot of information, such as the specific number of troops under the princess's command.
He felt that he was the chosen one. He had a master to guide him and had picked up such a powerful spy. If he didn't become the emperor, who would?
Master Liao shook his head upon hearing this: "This Master cannot calculate it."
Sheng Qingyun couldn't hold back his excitement. He rubbed his hands and said, "Master, my second sister's military camp and the mansion are in chaos right now. Is this a good time for us to take action?"
"Let's declare war on Second Sister in the name of seeking justice and payment for those foreign herdsmen in our mansion!"
Master Liao shook his head again, his expression unfathomable: "It's not our turn to take action now."
"I asked you to frame the eldest prince for the robbery of medicinal herbs. Although we are waiting for the two of them to fight first, we will reap the benefits."
"Let's just wait for the eldest prince to help us get justice!"
Sheng Qingyun listened to Master Liao's words, not quite understanding them.
What the master said was an imperial decree, so he just had to wait patiently for a while!
In the afternoon, after Sheng Qingyun received the news from his spies, he excitedly found Master Liao and said, "Master, you are so amazing!"
Master Liao tilted his head and looked at him, "What's wrong now?"
He now feels that Sheng Qingyun's admiration for him is worthless, as he is always praising him to the sky.
"My eldest brother also wants to use the excuse of seeking justice for the foreign traders to start a war with my second sister."
Sheng Qingyun: "Now we are sending people to look for the whereabouts of you foreign sheep traders. We want to seek justice for you and protect you from the second princess's murderous hands."
Master Liao's tone was not consistent with his appearance. "Find a middleman to contact the Grand Prince and let some of the herdsmen in our village join the Grand Prince. This way, we will have spies in the Grand Prince's place."
"Within five days, the eldest prince and the second princess will fight."
"Have your people prepare well. We can intervene at any time."
When Sheng Qingyun heard the time estimated by Master Liao, he was surprised that the first battle came so quickly! He did not dare to neglect it and hurried down to instruct his men.
At this time, there was a sense of impending storm in Haikui City, and the people in the city were cut off from information.
The powerful and wealthy businessmen who were more well-informed only knew vaguely that something had happened in the Second Princess's Mansion, and they were extremely panicked.
At this time, they were in a state of confusion when they received a piece of news that someone was selling boat tickets to escape the war.
