Chapter 743 Assassin (1/2)

Qin Yi took out the letter and handed it to Yun Shang who then unfolded it and read it. After a moment of silence, she threw the letter into the brazier.

”Is there any news?” Qin Yi asked in a hurry.

Yun Shang seemed to be relieved, but there was also a bit of doubt and shock in her eyes. After a while, she said softly, ”It's from Wang Wanzhi. She said that the seventh prince and Su Ruhai had led troops outside the Lingxi City.”

Qin Yi was stunned. It seemed that the news had nothing to do with Her Highness.

Yun Shang continued, ”Xia Huanyu claimed that he had sent out an army of more than 500, 000 soldiers. But the number of soldiers led by the seventh prince and Su Ruhai was only 150, 000.”

”So?” Qin Yi still didn't understand. She looked at Yun Shang blankly.

Yun Shang stared at the flickering fire in the brazier, and there was also a flame dancing in her eyes. After a long time, Yun Shang said softly, ”When the two armies are fighting, they tend to overstate the number of their soldiers in order to deter the enemy. But the number being claimed can't be too exaggerated, or it would be dangerous if the spies from the enemy found out the truth.”

Yun Shang suddenly raised the corners of her mouth and seemed to be very happy. ”Since Xia Huanyu dares to declare that there are 500, 000 soldiers, there should be at least 350, 000 to 400, 000. It's impossible that there were only 150, 000 soldiers. If three 350, 000 soldiers, where were the other 200, 000 soldiers going? And who is leading them? ”

The smile on Yun Shang's face suddenly disappeared, which was so fast that Qin Yi was confused.

”What's wrong? Is there anything wrong? ” Qin Yi said in a hurry. As soon as she finished speaking, she found that Yun Shang's body trembled slightly and her eyes were red.

”Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me! ” Qin Yi was also a little flustered.

Yun Shang grabbed Qin Yi's hand and said in a hoarse voice, ”I see.”

”What?” Qin Yi was stunned, her eyes full of confusion.

Yun Shang bit her lips, and suddenly loosened her grip on Qin Yi. ”I know who poisoned Lord Hua Guo, who took away Liu Yinfeng, and who killed the people in Prince Rui's mansion and took His Highness away.”

Qin Yi didn't expect what Yun Shang figured out was bout these cases. She asked with shock in her eyes, ”Who is it?”

Just as Yun Shang opened her mouth and was about to say something, she heard footsteps from the outer hall. Yun Shang was taken aback, and quickly withdrew her hand, pretending that nothing had happened. She leaned against the couch and closed her eyes, slowly calming herself down.
