Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Tang Jinghong looked down at Wan Zhilin. “Lord Wan, do you know that the current Lord of the Northern Border is an imposter?”

Wan Zhilin was stunned. He didn’t believe a word of it. “What nonsense are you talking about? If he’s not the Lord of the Northern Border, who is?”

Chu Qingzhi interrupted, “He’s really not. He’s a member of the royal family of the previous dynasty!”

Wan Zhilin’s eyes widened. He looked at Tang Jinghong and Chu Qingzhi like two lunatics. “Are you kidding? If you want me to tell you some secrets, you don’t have to make up such nonsense!”

Tang Jinghong asked, “Do you think we are so bored as to lie to you?”

Wan Zhilin looked at Tang Jinghong and then at Chu Qingzhi. For a moment, he couldn’t tell if the two of them were joking or serious.

However, he did not believe a word they said.

“No matter what you say, I won’t believe you,” Wan Zhilin said stubbornly.

“It doesn’t matter if you believe it or not.” Tang Jinghong didn’t care. He squatted down and looked at Wan Zhilin at eye level. “Lord Wan, apart from helping the Lord of the Northern Border train the secret guards, did you help him do anything else?”

“Mining silver ore.” Wan Zhilin made up his mind not to say anything else, but he couldn’t control his instinct to speak. After realizing what he had said, his expression was as horrified as if he had seen a ghost.

This time, even Tang Jinghong could not calm down. There was actually a silver mine!!!

Chu Qingzhi stood up straight. The northern border was rich in resources!

Gong Wentang stopped eating. He was shocked by one explosive piece of news after another.

Tang Jinghong looked straight at Wan Zhilin. His eyes were sharp and filled with oppression, giving the other party a lot of psychological pressure. “Where’s the silver mine?”

“On Yuntai Mountain.”

Tang Jinghong took out the map Ge Lihua had given him. After searching for a while, he found Yuntai Mountain.

Chu Qingzhi walked over to take a look. “Here.”

“Yes.” Tang Jinghong looked at Wan Zhilin and frowned slightly. There were too many secrets in the northern border. “How long have you been mining it?”

“A year.”

“Where is the silver?”

“The silver is all transported away. I don’t know.”

Tang Jinghong put away the map. “Where is Princess Yun Hua’s dowry?”

“I don’t know. After my men captured Yang Jingwen, they ignored the dowry and it went missing.” Wan Zhilin was stunned. Who exactly was the person in front of him? How did he know everything?

Chu Qingzhi suddenly became vigilant. “Someone’s here!”

Tang Jinghong slapped Wan Zhilin unconscious and dragged him behind a big rock. The few of them hid.

“We’ve almost searched the entire forest, but we can’t find the people Second Miss mentioned.”

“Could they have already left?”

“It’s impossible for someone who entered the bamboo forest to walk out. They must be nearby. Let’s search carefully.”

Chu Qingzhi walked out, crossed her arms, and looked at the two of them leisurely. “Who are you looking for?”

The two subordinates were shocked and quickly turned around. When they saw Chu Qingzhi, they were even more shocked. “Aren’t you the guest in the mansion? Why are you here?”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “I’m here to look for someone, just like you.”

The subordinate said warily, “We didn’t find them. They should have left.”

Chu Qingzhi asked, “Who asked you to come out and look for them?”

The subordinate said, “Second Miss.”

Second Miss?

Chu Qingzhi probed, “Is there another exit in this bamboo forest?”

The subordinate reached out and knocked on the bamboo beside him. “Some of the bamboo in this bamboo forest are fake bamboo. As long as you follow the fake bamboo, you can get out.”

Chu Qingzhi thought to herself that the person who set up the trap was not ordinary. She did not even realize that some were fake. If possible, she wanted to meet this person.

“Why did your Second Miss ask you to find them?”

“No why. She just asked us to kill them.”

This mysterious Second Miss was really cruel by nature. She was always on the way to kill someone.

Chu Qingzhi suddenly smiled. “I have the two people you are looking for. You can use yourself to exchange for them. It just happens that there are two of you.” contemporary romance

As soon as she finished speaking, two bamboo leaves flew past the necks of the two subordinates. In the next second, the two of them fell to the ground.

Gong Wentang walked out from behind a large rock with a pork trotter in his hand.

“Good kill!” As he spoke, he took a bite of the pig trotter to celebrate.

Chu Qingzhi said to Tang Jinghong, “Jinghong, continue digging for secrets. I really want to know how many more surprises are waiting for us in the northern border.”

Tang Jinghong nodded. “Okay.”

After waking Wan Zhilin up, Tang Jinghong continued to “chat” with him.

At the mansion of the Lord of the Northern Border.

In the study, a subordinate rushed in and reported, “Your Highness, the capture failed. Lord Wan was also taken away by them.”

“What?” The Lord of the Northern Border slammed the table, and the atmosphere in the study instantly became tense.

A thin layer of cold sweat appeared on the subordinate’s forehead. “Your Highness, we could have captured them, but they used Lord Wan to threaten us and we didn’t dare to do anything rash.”

The Lord of the Northern Border cursed, “Useless!”

The subordinates did not dare to speak. There were so many of them, but they did not manage to catch two people in the end. They were indeed useless!

The Lord of the Northern Border took two deep breaths. Ever since the two brothers came to the Northern Border, he had been having a hard time. “Then which direction did they run in?”

The subordinate replied, “They ran in the direction of the northeast.”

Northeast?

The Lord of the Northern Border suddenly changed his expression and shouted, “Prepare the horses!”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Five minutes later, the Lord of the Northern Border led a group of people to the northeast.

“Lord Wan, apart from the silver mine, what other secrets do you know about the Lord of the Northern Border?”

Wan Zhilin shook his head. “Nothing else.”

Chu Qingzhi suddenly looked over and asked, “How did you know that Yang Jingwen is Tong Yujie’s sister?”

Wan Zhilin said, “I was the one who sent his sister to An Huai Kingdom, but later on, she became disobedient, which was why I brought her back to be punished. You’re really capable. You actually broke into the water prison and saved her. No one who entered the water prison has ever come out alive.”

Chu Qingzhi thought to herself, Yang Jingwen is not a double agent, but a triple agent. Impressive! (She is the agent for the king and queen of the An Huai King as well as for Wan Zhilin.)

“Then do you know that you caused trouble for the Lord of the Northern Border?”

“What do you mean?”

Chu Qingzhi said, “The princess ran away and Yang Jingwen married in her stead. She has a secret letter that the king of An Huai Kingdom gave to the Lord of the Northern Border. If you didn’t catch her, we wouldn’t have known that.”

Wan Zhilin widened his eyes and looked at Chu Qingzhi in a daze, as if he had been dealt a blow. “What do you mean?”

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “I mean it literally. Lord Wan’s comprehension is a little poor!”

Wan Zhilin roared, “Impossible. You’re lying to me.”

Chu Qingzhi said calmly, “You’re no longer useful to us. Why would I lie to you?”

Wan Zhilin fell to the ground and lost all his energy. He muttered, “No, 1 don’t believe it.. I would never do anything to let the Lord of the Northern Border…”
