After Zhao Gao brought Huo Du down, Zhu Qizhen looked at Meng Tian and said calmly,""General Meng Tian, bring your troops back to the camp outside the city to rest. Tomorrow, we will depart for Da Tong!”
"I will obey!"
Meng Tian bowed and replied respectfully. Then, she slowly retreated.
"Marquis of Taining Chen Ying, immediately lead the Xuan Manor troops to clean up the battlefield and reorganize the Xuan Manor army. In addition, after reorganizing the army, he ordered people to block all the tunnels leading out of the city to prevent any accidents in the future.”
Pausing for a moment, Zhu Qizhen looked at Marquis of Taining Chen Ying and ordered.
"This subject obeys the decree!"
Hearing Zhu Qizhen's order, Chen Ying also bowed and respectfully replied.
Zhu Qizhen nodded slightly and looked at the other ministers." Everyone, go back and rest.”
"We will take our leave!"
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly replied respectfully and then dispersed.
After leaving Zhu Qi Zhen's sight, these officials naturally couldn't help but discuss in low voices.
After sending everyone away, Zhu Qizhen gave Chen Ying a few simple instructions before returning to his room in the General Estate to rest under the protection of Tian Yan and the hidden guards.
Time passed, and soon it was the next morning.
Zhu Qizhen woke up from his sleep and rubbed his sleepy eyes. He put on his clothes casually and sat up." Xiao Qin, bring the washbasin and towel in!”
In the few days that he had been in Huailai City, Zhu Qizhen had already gotten used to being served.
The maid who stayed by Zhu Qizhen's side to serve him was still the same Little Qin from Huailai City.
Every morning, Xiao Qin would wait outside with a washbasin and a towel.
"This servant will obey!"
At the door of the room, Xiao Qin, who was holding a washbasin and towel, heard Zhu Qizhen's voice and respectfully replied. Then, she slowly pushed the door open and entered.
Next, Zhu Qizhen washed up under Little Qin's service.
Even her clothes were tidied up by Xiao Qin.
Immediately after, Little Qin arranged for the eunuchs at the back to bring Zhu Qizhen a delicious breakfast.
Enjoying the feeling of being served, Zhu Qizhen was in a good mood.
"Alright, let the people pack up.”
After breakfast, Zhu Qizhen gently wiped his mouth and instructed Xiao Qin.
"Yes, sir!"
" Understood!" Xiao Qin replied respectfully. Then, she led the two eunuchs to clear away the cutlery on the table and slowly retreated.
"Your Majesty, Lord Zhao is outside requesting an audience!”
Tian Yan walked to Zhu Qizhen's side and reported to him.
"Let him in!"
Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen's heart stirred as he ordered.
"Yes, sir!"
Tian Yan agreed and went to inform Zhao Gao.
After a while, Zhao Gao walked in with a serious expression.
"This subject Zhao Gao greets Your Majesty!"
Seeing Zhu Qizhen, Zhao Gao hurriedly knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully.
"Get up. Did you get any useful information from Huo Du?”Zhu Qizhen casually waved his hand and said indifferently.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Gao thanked Zhu Qizhen and stood up solemnly. He continued," After interrogating him overnight, I learned from Huo Du that the Dayuan Envoy Zhao Min, who he spoke of, went to Da Tong after learning that the Wala Tribe had been wiped out and that the other three tribes had retreated.”
"It is said that there is a traitor in Da Tong Prefecture who colluded with Da Yuan and Wala. Zhao Min rushed to Da Tong Prefecture to collude with the traitor in Da Tong Prefecture. She was prepared to take down Da Tong in one fell swoop. When our army arrived at Da Tong, she would order the rebel army in Da Tong Prefecture to launch a sudden attack on our army.”
Zhu Qizhen was not too surprised when he heard this. He continued to ask,"Did Huo Du say who the spies in Datong Prefecture were?”
"According to Huo Du, Guo Jing, the supervisor of Da Tong Prefecture, and Li Rang, the commander of Da Tong Prefecture, have been in contact with them. From the looks of it, he doesn't seem to be spouting nonsense," Zhao Gao said respectfully.”
"Guo Jing?" When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Your Majesty, is there something wrong?" Zhao Gao hurriedly greeted respectfully.
Zhu Qizhen shook his head slightly." There's nothing wrong. Do you know anything about Guo Jing and Li Rang's situation?”
"Your Majesty," Zhao Gao replied respectfully,"after I learned from Huo Du that Guo Jing and Li Rang might be spies, I went to the Brocade Guard, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of War to investigate. I have a pretty good understanding of their situation." Li Rang's daughter married Yexian's son…"
Immediately, Zhao Gao told Zhu Qizhen the basic information about Guo Jing and Li Rang.
After Zhao Gao finished speaking, Zhu Qizhen nodded and continued,"I remember that the general guarding Datong is called Guo Deng. Is he related to Guo Jing?”
Zhao Gao already knew about this. When he heard Zhu Qizhen's question, he quickly said,"Guo Deng and Guo Jing are not related. In addition, according to Huo Du, Guo Deng did not contact them. Zhao Min was planning to work with Guo Jing and the others to kill Guo Deng and seize military power.”
When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he frowned." Zhen Gang and the others should have arrived at Da Tong. Why hasn't there been any news after so long? Immediately send someone to Da Tong Prefecture to pass down the order. Have Zhen Gang lead the Six Sword Slaves and the people from the Network to protect Da Tong General Guo Deng!”
"This subject obeys the decree!"
" Yes, Master!" Zhao Gao respectfully replied and prepared to leave.
"Wait!"
But at this moment, Zhu Qizhen suddenly called out to him.
"Your Majesty, do you have any other orders?" Hearing this, Zhao Gao hurriedly stopped and bowed to Zhu Qizhen once again.
