Reborn to choose a husband, I will lead the deposed prince to seize my ex-husband’s kingdom

Xu Mingyue would enter through the main entrance of Zhen Guo Gongfu early in the morning every day these days, and would not leave from the main entrance of Zhen Guo Gong's Mansion until after dark.

Those common people or merchants who often come and go around Li Yanzhi's mansion are often brought into the Zhenguo Duke's mansion.

Before entering the mansion, each of them felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, but after coming out of the Zhenguo Duke's mansion, their brows and eyes were filled with joy.

Because, when they entered, they were not only entertained with delicious food and drinks, but they also received a few pieces of silver after being asked questions.

Although the people in the capital don't know the reason why Xu Mingyue behaves like this, they are not only willing to do it themselves, but they are also willing to let their relatives and friends at home do it when it comes to getting money.

Under this seemingly messy inquiry, Xu Mingyue actually got a lot of useful information. For example, Xie Chongan personally visited Li Mansion before Li Yanzhi entered the palace.

What is completely different from Xu Mingyue's questioning at the Zhenguo Palace is the secret room underground in Qingyuan.

Bloody punishments and interrogations, careful investigations and certifications, and pieces of evidence that cannot be questioned, all came from here.

Xu Mingyue stayed at Wangshu Tower because she was too busy last night. When Tiantian woke up early in the morning, she informed Xu Mingyue that Xie Chongan had asked her to meet tomorrow.

After breakfast in the room, Xu Mingyue looked at the clumsy servants in Wangshu Tower and knew in her heart that it was time for Xu Jian and Lin Yan to leave the capital.

From the day Xie Qingyao entered the palace, Lin Yan knew that the couple had to leave first before Xu Mingyue. In order to allow Xu Jian to leave peacefully, Lin Yan had been comforting Xu Jian for several days.

So when Xu Mingyue appeared in the main courtyard holding a map, Lin Yan was still talking softly to Xu Jian.

It was like coaxing an old child, without showing any impatience.

Xu Mingyue spread the map in front of Xu Jian and Lin Yan: "Dad, grandma, tomorrow is the day when Guanyin Bodhisattva becomes enlightened. Tomorrow you go to Huguo Temple to burn peace incense for brother, and also for us three brothers and sisters. Let’s all pray for blessings.”

Xu Jian frowned tightly. He naturally knew where the current situation had reached, and he also understood that the capital had begun to become the most dangerous place in the world.

As for his cultivation, he should fulfill his duties as a father and block the invasion from all directions for Xu Mingyue.

"Yaoyao, daddy will stay in the capital to handle things for you."

Xu Mingyue pulled Lin Yan's sleeve, and Lin Yan began to express his authority: "Husband, Minghuai and Xiaoshu need to fight against foreigners. Only after you and I leave the capital can we bring my Xu family army to support Yaoyao and His Highness."

Xu Jian had not held an important position for several years, and the Xu family army had been reduced from a hundred thousand troops to only thirty thousand.

Xu Minghuai became the God of War in the hearts of the soldiers in Wu'an Pass, and he should be able to command all the soldiers in Wu'an County.

And those Xu family soldiers who have been loyal to the Xu family for generations, have secretly interacted with Xu Jian every year in these years, how can they convince the general who has made no achievements and was forcibly arranged by the court?

These Xu Jianjun, who are loyal to Xu Jian and the mountains and rivers, are the bargaining chips that Xu Jian has not revealed, but will surely reveal.

If this bargaining chip is revealed too late or too late, the effect will be greatly reduced.

Xu Mingyue never thought that her father would still have such a bargaining chip: "Father, how many people can you mobilize?"

Xu Jian placed his hand on the battlefield where he had fought: "Twenty thousand Xu family troops march day and night, and they can reach Nanjun in half a month."

And Nanjun is the reservation of the Xu clan. As long as you enter Nanjun, no one in the world can stop you.

Xu Mingyue sat down opposite Xu Jian: "My father will escort my mother to Wu'an County first, and then transfer to the Xu Army's garrison. It will take at least a month to return from the garrison to Nan County."

"Dad, there is no time to delay."

"Zheng Xingye's troops are in Xisu County. It is impossible for Xie Yan to send the capital guard to Xie Chong'an. Dad will accompany Yaoyao here."

Forced to no avail, Xu Mingyue directly took out a sachet from her waist: "We will try it tomorrow. If I can deliver this sachet to my father, then my father will return to Beijing for protection after leaving Huguo Temple. I."

"If this sachet cannot be delivered to my father through my hands, then my father will not be able to return."

With a smile on his face, Xu Jian high-fived Xu Mingyue and said, "Deal."

Xu Mingyue began to explain the arrangements if she could not return to Beijing: "Mother Xu will stay in the capital. Two carriages will leave from the Zhenguo Palace tomorrow morning. When the Buddha worship is completed, two carriages will return."

Even if Xu Jian and Lin Yan leave the capital, there must be Xu Jian and Lin Yan in the capital who can divert Xie Chongan's attention.

"Aniang knows what's going on, don't worry about it."

Lin Yan knew that they needed to hide their whereabouts after leaving Huguo Temple. If they were recognized, the two children in the capital would be in dire straits.

After comforting her parents, Xu Mingyue turned around and went to Xuyu Pavilion. Every time she came to Xu Mingliang these days, she did it to get money. She didn't say anything serious, so naturally she couldn't say anything serious.

Passing by the two guards monitoring Xu Minglang, Xu Mingyue suddenly turned back and looked at Xu Minglang: "Second brother, are these the new guards you bought?"

Xu Minglang nodded: "These two guards are different from others, so don't be naughty."

"Oh?" Xu Mingyue raised her head and looked at the two people carefully for a while. When she saw the two people, her heart went crazy, and she took out two substantial pieces of silver from her purse.

"Since he is someone whom my second brother trusts, I will use this money to buy you drinks. You must protect my second brother."

The person who originally intended to push for the money accepted the money after confirming that Xu Mingyue had no other requests: "Thank you, Princess."

Xu Mingyue frowned in displeasure: "I'm married, you should call me madam or princess."

As soon as these words were spoken, the two guards immediately turned to look at Tiantian: "I obey."

Xu Mingyue raised her lips slightly, waved to Xu Mingliang, and then followed Tiantian out of Xuyu Pavilion.

After the master and servant left and Ah Quan walked out of the house, the two guards kept a suitable distance and followed Ah Quan towards the secluded pavilion.

Xu Minglang got out of the window and entered Qingyuan through the secret passage of Zhenguogong Mansion.

Xu Mingyue spread out a sheet full of testimonies and a list of witnesses on his desk. The paper was too big to fit, so Xu Mingyue simply put it on the ground.

The brother and sister knelt on the carpet together, holding a red pen and circling the cards they could play one by one.

"Second brother, Xie Chongan must know several key witnesses. I am also worried that they will betray him later."

Xu Minglang sat on the carpet: "Tomorrow we will select a few people who know some irrelevant information to come back. On the day they enter the palace, we will put black cloth bags on them and hide the key witness in the middle."

"Second brother, I decided to take the risk without bringing witnesses, only evidence."

"If the emperor believes me, these pieces of evidence are enough. If the emperor doesn't believe me, these witnesses in my hands will be intercepted and killed by Xie Chongan. It will be difficult for me to turn the tables."

Xu Minglang weighed it for a while: "Take Xiaoqi, bring someone who is real, but Xie Chongan despises him."
