After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Chapter 153 Ye Wuwei shakes off Ye Hongxia

The shopkeeper carefully asked Ye Wuwei: "Does the special envoy have any other instructions?"

“I originally came to the North to carry out a mission, but now that a hundred thousand Northern troops are heading south, I have more important things to do.

I will leave the royal city as soon as possible."

"Special Envoy, the Central Plains people entering the royal city are not strictly checked, but the Central Plains people leaving the royal city are strictly checked. Do you need me to arrange for the special envoy to leave the city?"

Ye Wuwei thought about it: This is a good opportunity to separate from Ye Hongxia.

Ye Wuyi was not worried at all that Ye Hongxia would be in danger in the North.

Ye Hongxia is skilled in martial arts and is more familiar with the North and the desert than Ye Wuwei. On the way to the North, Ye Hongxia took care of Ye Wuwei more.

"You arrange for me to leave the city tomorrow, and I will come to see you at this time tomorrow."

After leaving Wang’s Silk, Ye Wuwei went to the Beidi Palace and the Grand Prince’s Mansion to “scout” the area.

Judging from the outside alone, the defense of the Beidi Palace is far worse than that of the Chamdo Palace.

At midnight that night, Ye Wuwei changed into night clothes and sneaked into the eldest prince's mansion.

It was not known whether the guards at the Crown Prince's Mansion were lax or because the Crown Prince was not there, but Ye Wuwei easily sneaked in without any effort.

It was much easier for him to enter Qi Wushuang's bedroom without attracting attention.

As soon as Ye Wuwei came out of the inn, he realized that Ye Hongxia was following him. After he sneaked into the eldest prince's mansion, Ye Hongxia also followed him into the mansion.

Seeing that Ye Hongxia was just following him from a distance and not rummaging through the Grand Prince's Mansion like him, Ye Wuwei knew that Ye Hongxia was worried about his safety.

Ye Wuwei simply ignored Ye Hongxia and concentrated on searching.

Ye Wuwei searched the Grand Prince's Mansion for nearly two hours and left at dawn, but found nothing.

However, this result was also within Ye Wuwei's expectations.

Given the eldest prince's character, he would definitely carry such an "important" letter with him, not to mention that he would need it during this trip south.

After leaving the Grand Prince's Mansion, Ye Hongxia followed up: "Didn't find it?"

"No, I'll look for it again tonight."

Ye Hongxia believed Ye Wuwei's lies.

After returning to the inn, the two fell asleep and did not wake up until noon.

After lunch, Ye Wuwei said to Ye Hongxia again: "I'm going out to do something, don't follow me."

After what happened yesterday, Ye Hongxia thought Ye Wuwei was going to contact those spies again and had no doubts. She just gave him the usual instructions:

"Be careful."

After arriving at Wang's Silk, the shopkeeper said to Ye Wuwei, "Special Envoy, everything has been arranged."

Ye Wuwei asked the shopkeeper to get a pen and paper, and he left a note for Ye Hongxia: I have left.

"Shopkeeper, three hours after I leave the city, have someone deliver this note to a certain inn and give it to someone named Aunt Ye."

"Didn't the special envoy come to the royal city alone?"

"I came here on a mission alone, but I met an acquaintance on the way and we became companions.

If she asked, she would just say she knew nothing."

The shopkeeper agreed.

Ye Wuwei followed the "Wang's Silk" caravan out of the royal city.

The caravan of "Wang's Silk" was flying a striking flag. It consisted of more than 200 people, including handymen, bodyguards, and guards. Ye Wuwei, who had changed his appearance, was not conspicuous at all among them.

"Wang's Silk" was indeed very famous in Wang City. The team leader stuffed some silver into the soldiers guarding the city gate, and the soldiers just checked them for the sake of courtesy and let them out of the city.

Ye Wuwei observed that those who left the city alone were indeed strictly checked.

After leaving the royal city, the leader handed Ye Wuwei a horse and two packages: "This is what the shopkeeper told me to give you."

Ye Wuwei didn't even look at what was inside. He took the package, thanked him, mounted his horse and galloped away.

According to the time calculation, the Northern Army should have almost reached the border between the North and the south of the desert, but Ye Wuwei did not encounter the Northern Army on the way to the Northern Royal City. It could only be that the two sides took different routes.

Ye Wuwei set out from Chamdo to the north and deliberately bypassed Andu, entering the south of the desert from the direction of Chunyu Prefecture. Therefore, the northern army heading south must have taken the road that leads directly to Andu.

When the horse was tired, Ye Wuwei stopped to rest.

Ye Wuwei opened the package the shopkeeper gave him. In addition to water, food, pills and powder, there was also gold and silver.

Everything is well prepared.

Ye Wuyi was eating the dried meat while calculating in his mind:

The desert heart where the north meets the south is more than eighty miles long and is covered with thick sand. It is best to ride a camel, but I don’t know if the north’s army has so many camels?

If there are no camels and you can only ride horses, you will have to lead the horses for that section of the journey.

In this way, he could catch up with the Northern Army before it encountered the Qi Dynasty Army, and the possibility of the letter being exposed would be lower.

Thinking of this, Ye Wuwei quickened the pace of eating the dried meat. It was getting dark, and he had to find a camel as soon as possible so that he could continue his journey at night.

……

In the evening, Ye Hongxia received a note from an Ati beggar with the words "I have left" written on it.

When you ask a beggar a question, he won't understand a single word.

Ye Hongxia entered Ye Wuwei's room and found Ye Wuwei's two packages still there.

When the package was opened, the pass, gold bars and silver ingots were missing.

Ye Hongxia cursed: "This bastard, he has to hide from me every time he leaves."

Even though she scolded him, Ye Hongxia didn't really blame Ye Wuwei.

Ye Hongxia knew that Ye Wuwei still didn't trust her after all. If she were Ye Wuwei, she might not be able to trust him completely either.

Things had come to this point, and there was no other way. Ye Hongxia had to take the luggage left by Ye Wuwei and leave the royal city.

Ye Hongxia's way of leaving the Northern Royal City was much simpler. She "flew" out of the city gate at night.

Ye Hongxia guessed that Ye Wuwei was chasing the Northern Army, and after leaving the royal city, she took the same route as Ye Wuwei.

……

**

The day after Qi Wushuang arrived in Andu, he led two thousand black-armored soldiers to Mo Nan.

It took Qi Wushuang and his men eight days to reach the Mo Nan garrison.

The 50,000 defenders in the south of the desert were stationed on the grassland, with lakes and woods nearby.

Qi Wushuang inspected the army and held a military meeting with the garrisoned generals to deploy the next strategy.

"Tai'an will soon lead 20,000 troops from Andu and Yingdu to Monan. The 30,000 garrison troops from Chunyu Prefecture will also join us in resisting the Ati people."

Zhang Dinggong asked in surprise, "The garrison of Chunyu Mansion?"

"Yes, I have already sent a letter to General Qi. He will personally lead 30,000 garrison troops to support us. They should arrive in the next two days. Please entertain them well."

Zhang Dinggong responded loudly.

Qi Wushuang's personal arrival and the news of reinforcements greatly shocked the morale of the Mo Nan defenders. That night they slaughtered sheep and held a bonfire party to welcome Qi Wushuang.

Qi Wushuang stared at the jumping flames:

If Wu Wei were here, he would probably like such a lively scene, right?

I don’t know where he is now?

At dawn the next day, Qi Wushuang left with Qi Wu and a dozen black-armored soldiers.

Qi Wushuang went to find Ye Wuwei.

Qi Wushuang guessed that Ye Wuwei would go to find the Great Prince of the North, so he took Qi Wu and the others to the direction of the Northern Army.
