After Li Yu set off, she soon saw the brothers walking in front. Li Yu avoided them and rushed down the mountain. When she went down the mountain, her speed more than doubled since she didnât have to look for prey. After dark, she rushed to the shallow mountain behind the manor at midnight with a torch and spent two hours rushing back.
Ruyi and the others looked at Li Yu, who had rushed home in the middle of the night, and felt that something might have happened. Xiaoyu asked worriedly, âMadam, what happened?â
Li Yu looked at her big stomach and comforted her with a smile. âIâm fine! I just missed Yangyang and thought that I wasnât far from home, so I rushed back.â
âOh!â Xiaoyu heaved a sigh of relief. Li Yu looked at her and smiled. âGo and rest first! â
Xiaoyu nodded. âRest early too.â Li Yu asked Xing Hua to send Xiaoyu back.
Ruyi knew from Li Yuâs expression that Li Yu was not telling the truth. When Xiaoyu returned to the courtyard, Li Yu asked Gu Yu to guard the door. She took out the booklet she had snatched from the tall man and handed it to Ruyi.
âTake a look. I snatched this from a Qi soldier. There are also two waist tokens.
Iâll show them to you later.â
Ruyi looked at the booklet and his expression became more and more solemn. He was a little afraid and glad. He was afraid that the Qi people would silently flip over from Mount Spindle and Yunzhou would suffer. Fortunately, the Qi peopleâs plot had been discovered by his Madam and they could use this route to catch them off guard.
Ruyi returned the booklet to Li Yu. âMadam, it seems that the Qi People have found a way to cross the mountain. The city gate is already closed. The city gate will open in an hour. Go wash up first. Weâll go to the government office and the bank to report.â
Li Yu took the booklet. âAlright. Although speed is important in war, we canât enter the city without Master at home.â
âYes, Iâll get Old Madam Yun to make something for you. Eat some first.â Ruyi quickly went to call Old Madam Yun.
Li Yu returned to the house to take a look but didnât see Yangyang. Only then did she remember that he might have gone to Ruyiâs place to sleep with Seven Pounds. She took her dress and went to the bathroom. Gu Yu had already mixed the water. She glanced at Li Yu and said softly, âMadam, let me scrub your back! â
âAlright.â Li Yu stepped into the bathtub. Gu Yu washed her hair and dried it with a handkerchief before realizing that Li Yu had already fallen asleep leaning against the bathtub. Her heart ached as she looked at Li Yuâs tired appearance, but she still gently pushed Li Yu. âMadam, you should go in and sleep! You wonât catch a cold.â
Li Yu woke up and looked back at her. She smiled and shook her head. âIâve already felt much better after sleeping for a while. Help me wipe my back quickly. I still have something to do.â
Gu Yu nodded and helped Li Yu scrub her back clean. Li Yu washed up in two moves, put on her dress, and went to her room to tie her hair. After fixing it with a jade hairpin, Old Madam Yun sent the noodles over. âMadam, I cooked a bowl of minced pork noodles for you. Eat some to fill your stomach first.â
Li Yu nodded. âAlright, itâs still early! Go and rest for a while.â
Old Madam Yun knew that Li Yu didnât like to be waited on. She smiled and replied, âYes, eat slowly. I placed an egg under the noodles.â
Li Yu nodded and ate in big mouthfuls. She finished the big bowl of noodles.
Ruyi came in and reported, âMadam, letâs go!â
âAlright, letâs go!â Li Yu took the lead and walked out. Gu Yu hurriedly followed.
The three of them left the manor and drove the carriage towards the city gate.
When they arrived at the city gate, the guard had just opened the city gate a
crack and was waiting for it to slowly open. Ruyi drove the carriage in. The city guard was shocked and turned to shout at the carriage, âAre you rushing to reincarnate!â
Ruyi turned to look at him coldly. The city guard was so frightened that he stopped talking.
The carriage quickly arrived at the back door of the Four Seas Bank. Ruyi knocked on the door and shouted, âShopkeeper Chu, please open the door.â âWho is it? Itâs so early in the morning.â The shop assistant guarding the door muttered and ran to the door. When he opened the door and saw Ruyi standing at the door, he smiled and welcomed him. âSteward Zhou, please come in. My shopkeeper is still resting! Iâll get someone to call him for you.â
Ruyi cupped his hands and said, âThank you. Please hurry up. My Madam has something urgent to tell him.â
âAlright, Iâll go now.â The shop assistant ran into the courtyard. Li Yu and Gu Yu got out of the car and walked towards the main hall where Chu Feng entertained guests. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
When Chu Feng heard the shop assistant report that Madam Li was looking for him urgently, he hurriedly got up. He put on his clothes and wiped his face before rushing to the entrance of the main hall. When he saw Li Yu standing at the door, he hurriedly went forward and bowed. âI didnât know Madam was here. Sorry for not welcoming you.â
Li Yu waved her hand and said, âGu Yu, stand at the door. Other than Ruyi, no one is allowed to enter.â
âYes, Madam.â Gu Yu knelt down and agreed. Seeing Li Yuâs expression, Chu Feng knew that something big had happened and hurriedly followed Li Yu into the main hall. Li Yu took out the booklet and the two waist tokens and handed them to Chu Feng. âShopkeeper Chu, an urgent matter has cropped up. Hurry up and send someone to inform the garrison generals in Yunzhou.â
Chu Feng took the waist token and his expression changed drastically. âThis belongs to the Qi Eagle Guards. I heard that they specialize in investigating routes.â As he spoke, he flipped open the booklet again. His face turned pale. He clapped his hands and Yun Yi walked out of the darkness. He looked at Chu Feng. âYun Yi, quickly go to the garrison office and inform General Shen that thereâs an urgent matter.â
Yun Yi nodded and left the main hall. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared. Li Yu watched Yun Yi disappear with admiration and muttered to herself, âLooks like this is the qinggong on television.â
Chu Feng bowed to Li Yu. âMadam Li, where did you get Qi peopleâs secret?â
Li Yu glanced at Chu Feng and told him about meeting two Qi soldiers when she went hunting in the mountains. âShopkeeper Chu, as soon as I realized that the situation was wrong, I rushed back overnight. This is a big matter related to Great Yong.â
Chu Feng couldnât help but admire Li Yuâs sharp instincts and judgment. He bowed to Li Yu again. âMadam Li, you saved the people of Yunzhou.â
Li Yu smiled faintly. âItâs not my credit. Itâs because His Majesty is the destined person. This is why heaven protected me and guided me to discover those Qi soldiers. Otherwise, why didnât I go earlier or later?â
When Chu Feng heard Li Yuâs words, he was a little stunned. Who said that Madam Li was a farm girl who only knew how to farm and didnât know how to socialize? Let him who said it so confiden tly hear who was better at talking than her!
âMadam is right. Our emperor is the destined one. Those schemes of the Qi people will never succeed.â
When Li Yu heard this, she smiled and nodded. However, she said to herself, âI have to see if your garrison general is really capable. If heâs just an armchair strategist, I have to make preparations early..â
