However, unexpectedly, Marquis Dingyuan actually had such a portrait in his possession.
This discovery makes us wonder whether there is such a possibility...
Did Marquis Dingyuan know something about the ring, and did he also know the secret of the words engraved inside the ring? Perhaps, there was a deeper secret behind all this.
Gu Qinlan held the ring tightly, her eyes moving across its round curves, savoring every texture of it.
In her previous life, she never had the chance to touch this ring because Wocan was worried that her situation in the Ji family was already precarious, so she had never seen this relic.
This ring...
Since it was her mother's precious inheritance and it remained in her mother's home instead of being brought into the mansion with her, it was obviously not a gift from Marquis Dingyuan.
The person who gave this ring to my mother, who cherishes it so much, must be an important person in her heart.
However, who exactly was this person? Gu Qinlan knew nothing about it.
So, what about Marquis Dingyuan?
Is he aware of this?
If Marquis Dingyuan had known that his mother had someone else in her heart, how would he react?
Gu Qinlan's heartbeat quickened, a chill came over her, and she couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
If Marquis Dingyuan had already known that his mother had someone in her heart, what would he do?
Gu Qinlan's breathing became rapid and her head felt dizzy. She tightly grasped the ring and said in a deep voice:
"I must write to my grandmother immediately. I must get to the bottom of this matter."
The next day, Marquis Dingyuan hurriedly left the capital with his weapons.
However, as soon as they left the city gate, they found that there were several carriages with the same decorations waiting quietly at the city gate.
Soon, the seven teams of carriages went their separate ways, each pursuing their own path...
Soon after, a group of people chased out. After discovering Dingyuan Hou's plan, they reported to the black-clothed masked man behind them:
"Master, Marquis Dingyuan is indeed cautious and has used a strategy of confusing the audience. Now it is difficult for us to determine which team is the real one."
After hearing this, the masked man in black sitting on horseback sneered and said:
"It seems that he has known some news in advance. It's really interesting..."
After a brief pause, he gently turned the ring on his thumb and said in a cold tone:
"Since they already know about this, we must not let them deliver the things alive. We must kill them all... without mercy."
I would rather kill by mistake than let him go!
As night falls, the rain drizzles and the sky and the earth seem to be shrouded in a thin layer of mist, hazy and mysterious.
At a manor on the outskirts of the capital, the place was crowded with people and bustling with activity.
"My Lord, all the weapons are ready. Shall we set out immediately?"
Dingyuan Hou was wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, sitting on his horse. He listened to his subordinates' reports. He glanced at the sky, and Gu Qinlan's words came to his mind...
"Father, first check whether the weapons you have equipped are flawless. If there is no problem, set off immediately. Make sure to disrupt their deployment before the agreed plan."
The moment your father steps out of the city gate, the mastermind behind the scenes will surely chase him relentlessly. You must deploy several teams identical to yours in advance and march in different directions to confuse the enemy.
"After they traveled about a hundred miles, you, father, took advantage of the cover of night and quietly detoured to the Changqing River, which was thirty miles away, and then went downstream along the waterway to the Huai River." "Now it is spring, and the drizzle is continuous. Even if the pursuers found the pretending teams and realized they were deceived, when they turned back, the continuous spring rain would completely wipe out your traces."
Gu Qinlan's plan caused ripples in Dingyuan Hou's heart.
He seemed never to have truly appreciated the wisdom of his eldest daughter.
This series of strategies are closely linked to each other and accurately grasp the psychology of the people behind the scenes.
Not to mention that this unexpected action will definitely make those behind the scenes panic.
The purpose of pretending to be a dispersed team is not only to hide the real route, but also to delay the time of the pursuers!
Even if the pursuers caught up with the pretend teams and discovered they had been duped, precious time would have already passed.
Traveling by water is faster than traveling by land. By the time those trackers run back and forth and lock on to the correct direction again, my father will probably have traveled halfway!
The key is……
The shipping manager of Changqing River is a close confidant of my maternal grandfather's family, so he will naturally support him.
Dingyuan Hou pondered for a moment, closed his eyes, and murmured to himself: "Your daughter... has indeed inherited your wisdom."
"My Lord? My Lord?" Seeing that Marquis Dingyuan did not speak for a long time, his subordinates called out to him anxiously twice.
Dingyuan Hou came back to his senses, a gleam in his eyes, and he waved his arm and ordered: "Set out immediately!"
At the same time, in order not to be noticed, the pursuers kept their distance and followed behind the teams, waiting only for nightfall before taking action.
however……
As night fell, when they chased to the camps of those teams, they found that the tents were already empty!
The carriages and the items on them were abandoned at the scene.
After some inspection, they found that the box in the carriage was full of stones, and they immediately realized that they had been deceived!
When they tried to catch up with the escorts again, they found that there were many small cities ahead. Once the escorts entered the city, how easy would it be to find them again?
When the black-clad agents hurried back to the capital, they were surprised to find that everyone had suffered the same fate. They were terrified and knelt on the ground, trembling all over, staring at the high-ranking being with fear.
"Good, good, good! It's really unexpected that Marquis Dingyuan actually has such courage to fool me like this!"
The man sitting in the main seat was wearing a dark robe, with his entire face covered tightly. Although he laughed, it sounded like a wolf howling in the cold wind, making people tremble with fear.
"Master...Master, perhaps, we can try to find it again?"
A small leader mustered up his courage and asked cautiously with a trembling voice.
"Looking for? Ha, we have been playing with each other for a long time, how can we let you find us easily?"
The man in black robe sneered, and a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
"So……"
"You are such a waste, so stupid, just get rid of it."
The man in black robe waved his hand lightly and spoke in a nonchalant tone.
The black-clad agents looked at him in horror. Before they could react, deadly hidden weapons flew at them from all directions and killed them all in an instant.
The smell of blood made the black-robed man take a greedy deep breath. He slowly stood up from his seat and said in a cold voice:
"Marquis Dingyuan has been in hiding for many years. He is as mysterious as a ghost. It is impossible for him to suddenly show such wisdom. There must be someone behind the scenes giving him advice. Go check it out. I want to see who is providing him with strategies..."
"Yes, Master." The guard behind the black-robed man responded, and then said:
"But my Lord, if the weapons are delivered, wouldn't Prince Duan be doomed?"
