Chapter 1426: The Cang Hai Trading Company
he was young, he wasn't foolish at all.At first, he couldn't quite tell how valuable the garment was. But when he saw the shopkeeper's excited expression, he guessed that the clothes he had brought we...Just how far is this place from the capital
To tell you the truth, he has no idea either!
He had never left this town in his life. He couldn't even say how far it was from the capital.
"At this moment, he pondered deeply the words his companions often spoke. "My good sir, I do apologize, but this old man has never left this town, let alone ventured to the capital. Therefore, how far it is from here to the capital, this old man truly does not know."
"However, I've heard that if one is in a hurry to get to the capital, it can be done in three months."
Three months……
Yun Wu went over the map of Tianba Kingdom in his mind, roughly guessing where they were.
He hummed in response, then took out a silver note and handed it to the doctor. "Thank you, Doctor. This is your payment. Please use your best medicine for our injuries. We need to recover as soon as possible."
The physician hesitated for a moment before finally stepping forward and taking the silver note from Yun Wu’s hand. “Rest assured, young master,” he said. “I will use the best medicine. If there is nothing wrong with you, I will go down now to make medicine for all of you gentlemen.”
Yun Wu was about to nod, but then he thought of something and asked again, "Doctor, do you know where the Cang Hai Trading Company in this town is"
Having mentioned the town's biggest shop, the doctor now knew what to do. He pointed in a direction:
"As it happens, the Cang Hai Trading Company you're looking for is just down this street."
Yun Wu nodded slightly, "Thank you, doctor."
After the doctor left, Yunwu turned to the two brothers who had come with Xunzi, "The Crown Prince's affair cannot be told to the Princess Consort."
But the people who seek out Tang Valley are An Xue Tang's people. To put it plainly, they only take orders from An Xue Tang. Now Yun Wu means for them to keep their true master a secret from her.
This is a bit awkward.
Neither of them spoke, but Yun Wu could guess what they were thinking. It was just that this matter had to be kept from their princess, or things would really get out of hand.
Yun Wu looked seriously at the two of them, "The Princess dotes on the Crown Prince very much. She truly treats him as family. Now that the Princess is with child, if she were to know what happened to the Crown Prince, her emotions wouldn't be stable. Once she gets agitated, no one can guarantee it won't affect the fetus in her womb, so... even if I begged you, you absolutely cannot let the Princess know."
No matter what happened to the Prince, we must absolutely not let the Princess Consort know.
Even if I were to speak, it would only be after the Princess gives birth to her children.
The two people in Xintang Valley weren't completely oblivious. After Yun Wu's reminder, they also considered this point.
Once their queen becomes pregnant, no one can bear the responsibility.
Not to mention that the King of Beijiang would not spare them by then, even when their Valley Master wakes up, they will definitely make them pay for what they have done.
Therefore, Yunwu is right. We cannot tell the Crown Princess about the Young Master's misfortune at this critical juncture.
Then the two fell silent for a moment, and both nodded in agreement to Yun Wu. But one of them asked:
"You don't have to tell the Queen, but we haven't sent any news back in a long time. If this continues, with her nature, she'll definitely start to suspect something."
Yun Wu nodded in agreement, "That's right, so I need to do something about it."
After he finished speaking, he took out a jade pendant. “I deliberately asked the doctor about the Cang Hai Trading Company earlier because that company belongs to our royal family. Through them, we can send messages out.”
“I'm going to write two letters, one to the Princess in the capital, informing her that we have arrived in Niangyun City. Because our planned route had some issues, we couldn't return to the capital smoothly, so we came to Niangyun City first. Niangyun City has our eldest brother Yunyi, and it also has soldiers who can protect the prince.”
"In the letter to the Princess, besides mentioning that the Crown Prince has been settled well, the most important thing is to tell her and my fourth brother about the traitor in the王府. I have always believed that the planned route would be discovered because a traitor in the王府 knew about the Princess's plan and set an ambush ahead of our path with such accuracy."
"The other day, we couldn't appear in town, so there was no one to send a message. Now that we've found the Canghai Trading Company, the news of the traitor from the Prince's Mansion must be sent back as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'm afraid that if it's too late, something will happen."
After all, the traitor is by the queen's side. If they don't hurry and warn the queen, what if that traitor has a chance to do something harmful to the queen They would be unable to atone for it even in death.
After Yunwu finished speaking, the two brothers of Xuntang Valley nodded in agreement, "It's indeed necessary to inform the Princess sooner."
"There's one more letter to be sent to Yulan City. The young master has met with an accident, so we cannot tell the princess, but the king must be informed."
When this matter was brought up, Yun Wu clenched his fists tightly, choked back tears, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. He trembled slightly as if he could barely contain himself.
Although he knew the prince would be worried and distracted after what happened to the young master, there was no way to keep it hidden. He, as a personal guard, understood better than anyone how much the prince cared for his son.
On a matter of life and death, he couldn't keep it from their prince.
Their prince wouldn't allow him to keep it a secret either.
No matter what the prince might do after hearing this, he had to report it truthfully.
Xun Tanggu's two brothers also felt that this was something that had to be told to the King of Beijang, so they both agreed with Yunwu's approach.
Three people reached a consensus and, knowing time was of the essence, Tanggu's two brothers immediately prepared paper and ink for Yunwu.
……
Beijing, Beijng Palace
According to An Xue Tang's instructions, Yun Si had already arranged for people to go out and also involved the Qingyun Pavilion.
It was just a coincidence that Yun Si had only sent people out five days ago when Yun Wu's letter was brought back by a rider from the Cang Hai Trading Company.
He glanced at it, his hands clenched.
This letter was personally written by Yunwu, and it is in Yunwu's handwriting.
Although the letter said that the prince was safe and sound in Nianyun City, he knew things were not as they seemed.
If the young master truly arrives safely in Nian Yun City, he will definitely write a letter to the Princess reporting his safety.
But right now, only Yun Wu's letter has arrived. The likelihood is that the young master... is in grave danger.
Thinking of this, Yun Si's body tensed up. He could guess what would happen, and the Princess wouldn't be a fool either, she would surely be able to guess as well.
At present, with only Yun Wu's letter, it is probably insufficient.
He simply couldn't imitate the Prince's handwriting. Now, what was he going to do
Yun Si hesitated for a long time holding the letter in his hand. Finally, he seemed to have thought of something, hurried to the table, ground ink, picked up Yun Wu's pen, and wrote a letter.
But this letter was not for the princess, but for himself. It explained why the prince had not written back.
After the letter was finished and had dried, Yun Si finally walked towards Jingtang Garden carrying it.e sore before they came to their senses. The two looked at each other, both with an incredible disbelief in their eyes.The shopkeeper pursed his lips, swallowed hard, and said, “This... this is all An...
