Chapter 904 Well-trained Robbers (2/2)
Luo Qingyan sneered, ”Robbers? According to the Liu Yinfeng letter, the robbers were well-trained and seemed to know that he was good at arrays. They were divided into two groups from the beginning. One group rushed straight to him, and the other group fight with the soldiers who were escorting the relief materials all the way, so that the soldiers could not form an array. I've never heard of such brave and resourceful robbers who know both themselves and their opponents well. ”
Hearing Luo Qingyan's words, Yun Shang realized that the so-called robbers were most likely disguised by Xia Houjing's men.
Xia Houjing was really a scheming man. She had thought that Xia Houjing would take the materials away in the name of disaster relief after Liu Yinfeng sent them to Liucang City. Then he would ask the soldiers he gathered to disgu
ve been issued. His Ladyship also wrote a letter to her second brother urging him to return to the Jin City, but I don't know whether or not the letter has been sent. When His Lordship comes back, I'll ask him.”
[Yun Shang nodded slightly and said, ”The relief materials escorted by Liu Yinfeng have been robbed. And the seventh Prince will marry the daughter of the richest man in Liucang City as his concubine in a few days.”
Hearing this, Lady Hua Guo frowned. ”Robbed”? The robber must be the seventh Prince, right? ”
Yun Shang had to admire Lady Hua Guo. Judging from Yun Shang's simple words, she knew that it was the seventh Prince who had done it.
”The letter from Mr. Liu only said that those robbers were well-trained and seemed to know that he was good at setting up arrays. They deliberately aimed at him and destroyed the formation of the team, making him unable to form an array. Then they took the materials away.” Yun Shang replied softly.
Lady Hua Guo paused for a while and said, ”That's it. The seventh Prince is by no means simple. He could even hide his strength for so many years and get rid of Xia Houyan on the quiet. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Qingyan, he would have been the Crown Prince. He must hate Qingyan very much. You must be careful.”
Yun Shang answered in a low voice and said, ”But it is not wise for Xia Houjing to rebel blatantly. In this way, he will become a traitor everyone hates.”
Lady Hua Guo let out a cold laughter and said, ”Now he is a traitor. But if he succeeds in taking the throne, he will become a respected emperor. Since ancient times, the stronger one will rule the world. Back then, when the current Emperor was still a prince who was just a son of an imperial concubine, he killed his father and brother. The former Emperor and the former Crown Prince died miserably, and everyone cursed him for his cruelty. But the result is that the story has not been recorded in the history. Now people sing the praises of him as the State of Xia is peaceful and prosperous under his rule. I'm afraid that few people still remember the tragedy in the Taiji Palace.”
