Rebirth as Princess Jin again

Situ Jin said solemnly: "Now we only know this person's goal, but we cannot predict his final intention. Now we don't even know where the tea came from, let alone deal with this matter."

Su Quan's expression suddenly changed and he asked nervously: "Your Highness, where is the batch of gold shipped back from the Western Regions now?"

"We should be approaching the boundary of the capital now." Situ Jin replied casually. Suddenly he seemed to realize something and said in a deep voice: "My father-in-law is worried that what they do in the capital is because of the gold."

Su Quan frowned and said: "It is always right to prepare early. Although the Emperor now has great trust in His Highness, if someone takes advantage of His Highness's affairs to put pressure on the court, the Emperor will only take advantage of the situation in order to calm down the public anger. If the forces in the East Palace are suppressed, it will be just what those people want."

Situ Jin pondered for a moment, but rapid footsteps suddenly sounded outside.

"what happened?"

The shadow came in and reported: "Your Highness... something happened to that batch of gold!"

The sky was already dark, and a dazzling red light suddenly rose in the dark night sky.

Situ Jin's eyes trembled, this was a distress signal sent by the secret guard transporting the gold.

And looking in the direction of the red light, it was the direction of the suburbs of the capital.

It was An Yi's distress signal. He had received news earlier that the batch of gold was about to enter the capital. To be cautious, he asked An Yi to take people to pick them up outside the city.

Upon seeing this, Su Quan immediately summoned the secret guards in the mansion and ordered: "Follow His Highness!"

Situ Jin immediately got on his horse and galloped away from the city.

Just after leaving the city, a second red signal rose in the sky.

Situ Jin felt a chill in his chest, and his hand holding the reins tightened.

The first call for help is extremely critical, the second call for help is even more disastrous.

The whip in Situ Jin's hand fell hard, and the horse underneath him suddenly seemed to have wind in its hooves and galloped forward. Seeing this, the secret guards behind him raised their whips and followed.

Under the dark night, everything outside the city was completely silent. Only the clatter of horse hooves broke the tranquility.

Mu Ying, who was following Situ Jin, looked at the red light gradually disappearing in the night sky, feeling even more anxious.

The secret guards this time were all carefully selected by the prince. Now that there are so many calls for help, it means that the situation has reached an extremely critical point.

Anichi has been on many missions and has never failed. What kind of powerful enemy did he encounter this time that forced him to send a distress signal twice in a row?

However, before Muying could recover his thoughts, a third red light rose again in the dark night sky above his head.

Situ Jin's eyes were as deep as the dark sky, but his heart was already aching slightly and he didn't dare to think about it.

Mu Ying felt a chill in his heart. The third time was basically a sign that the entire army would be annihilated.

When they arrived at the scene of the accident, it was pitch black under the ink-black night, with no light visible and no sound heard. Only the smell of blood remained in the air so strong that it had not had time to dissipate.

Situ Jin hurriedly ordered people to light torches, but wherever he looked, corpses were piled up like mountains. The green grass under the corpses had long been stained with blood, and there were no survivors.

The gold-carrying vehicles were neatly placed not far from the corpse. Muying stepped forward and lifted off the straw covering them, and opened the box. It was empty inside.

These carriages were all specially made. If the shafts of the carriages were pressed down, they would leave deep marks. The thieves must have expected this and were worried that if they were discovered, they would follow the tracks left by the wheels to find their hiding place.

They abandoned these carriages and only took away the gold. These people came well prepared and did not leave any clues for them.

"Your Highness... Your Highness" a faint cry came from the pile of dead bodies.

Muying followed the sound and looked for it, peeling open the thick corpse and pulling out An Yi who had been seriously injured inside.

An Yi supported his seriously injured body and said with shame: "Your Highness, this subordinate neglected his duty and lost the gold. I beg Your Highness to punish me."

Situ Jin stepped forward to check An Yi's wounds and said bitterly: "They came prepared, I don't blame you!"

Muying handed Anichi over to his men to treat his injuries: "Your Highness, what should we do now?"

Situ Jin closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and coldly ordered to the secret guard behind him: "There is so much gold to hide, no matter how careful the plan is, it is impossible to scatter people without leaving any clues. Come on, look around here."

"If you discover their whereabouts and follow them quietly, be sure not to disturb them at will. Those people's martial arts skills are not inferior to yours. If you act rashly, you may lose more than you gain."

"Also, give these bodies a good burial!"

Looking at the corpses of his former comrades, Muying felt sour in his heart. They were all orphans left behind by the war. They suffered a lot in order to have food to eat. They had tasted the warmth and coldness of the world at a young age. If it hadn't been for General Xiao's kindness, he would have used his own Yueyin feeds them, and they have long become the humblest victims of the war.

They get along day and night, and they are closer than family members. The people who were alive in the morning have now become cold corpses. He hates those who killed them. If he could, he would definitely kill the enemies of these brothers with his own hands.

Situ Jin led his people to search in the mountains all night, but the gold seemed to disappear out of thin air.

The capital has been scorching hot for several days in summer, and the soil on the road has dried up to the point where thick dust has been raised. The robbers have also processed the wheels, so how can they find any traces?

However, there were not only no traces on the road, but also no traces in the forest. Everyone was puzzled.

But there was another extravagant scene in Prince Yu's Mansion.

In the flower hall, the sound of silk and bamboo can be heard endlessly. The beautiful and enchanting dancer twists her slender waist while listening. Coupled with the fine wine and delicacies, the owner's joyful mood is revealed everywhere.

Situ Yu sat crookedly on the soft couch in front of him, raised his wine glass and looked at the two people below.

"Come and drink to our success this time!"

Kong Wencai raised the wine glass in his hand and gestured to the person above him. Chen Xiao on the opposite side also raised his glass in agreement.

The three of them drank the wine glasses in their hands. Situ Yu signaled his servants to fill up their glasses, and he raised a glass to Kong Wencai alone.

"This time it was all because of Brother Wencai's wit and courage that he was able to rob Situ Jin of this money. With this batch of gold, we can not only remove Situ Jin from the position of prince, but also recruit more talents to work for us. Be prepared for the big event! I respect you!"

However, Kong Wencai raised his glass and handed it to Chen Xiao who was opposite him, and said modestly: "This matter is entirely dependent on Chen Shilang's generous help. Without Chen Shilang's strategy, we would not have been able to transfer these golds in such a short period of time. , they didn’t expect us to hide the gold in that place.”

Chen Xiao picked up the wine glass in return and said respectfully: "I just came up with an idea. It was Brother Kong who was very brave and led his brothers through life and death to defeat the prince's secret guard, and successfully facilitated this situation."

"Okay, Minister Chen, don't be humble. You are my grandfather. When I sit on the throne, I will definitely not treat you two badly."
