Chapter 1594 The Person Behind Her
Chapter 1594 The Person Behind Her
When Yan Ruyu saw Hua Can's face fall, and then saw that she looked haggard and there was still blood on her lips, she knew that she was having a hard time.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked bluntly and sternly: "Hua Can! Who are you?"
Hua Can was stunned: "I..."
"What does Mr. Mo ask you to do?"
"I just came to encourage Dachao Village."
"Then why don't you go outside the Great Wall? What is there outside the Great Wall that makes you so resistant and afraid? Are you afraid that Mr. Mo will know that you have failed your mission and hunt you down?"
"No, it's not..."
"Who are you, Taoist Xuanqing?"
Hua Can was stunned again: "Master Xuanqing? I don't know."
"I don't know. Then why did he say that you told her the prophecy?"
"Prophecy? What prophecy?" Hua Can was even more confused.
"Is there anyone else under Mr. Mo who can predict the future?" Yan Ruyu asked.
"No," Hua Can shook his head. "Mr. Mo has many talented people under him, but none of them can predict the future. I have never heard of them."
"You are so confident. Are you some great person? Is there anything you don't know?"
Hua Can was a little dissatisfied: "I am indeed not a great figure, but my Palace Master..."
Before he finished speaking, Hua Can realized that he had said too much, so he stopped talking and pursed his lips.
"My husband has always valued me. I do know that."
Yan Ruyu keenly grasped those two words: Palace Master.
She remained calm: "Then tell me, why don't you go outside the pass?"
"I told you, if I go, without the Gu food, I will die, and your subordinate will die too."
Hua Can suppressed his anxiety and forced himself to remain calm: "How about this, let's negotiate a condition."
Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows slightly, waiting for her to continue.
"I will help you deal with your subordinates. If you let me go, I will never appear in front of you again. We don't owe each other anything and we can just part ways. How about that?"
"No matter what," Yan Ruyu sneered and refused, "You first deceived my man, then harmed him, and in the meantime, you also let my prince and so many of his men fall into the trap. After so many times of framing, you just say you owe each other nothing and just call it quits?"
"Why?"
Hua Can bit his lip and said, "Then tell me, what do you want me to do in exchange for you letting me go?"
"I'm warning you..."
Before she could finish her words, Huo Changhe raised his wrist and a hidden weapon flew out, hitting her arm. She cried out in pain and her face turned pale.
"Who are you warning?" Huo Changhe said in a cold tone, "How dare you warn the princess? You are not worthy!"
There was a hint of fear in Hua Can's eyes, and he didn't dare to say anything more.
"Answer whatever the princess asks."
"I can't go outside the pass. I need Gu food, otherwise I will be bitten to death by the backlash."
Yan Ruyu guessed that this was the reason. She had a poisonous insect and the food she ate should not be ordinary. If she was asked to go with the people from Dachao Village, she would be completely unprepared.
Or maybe there was nothing she needed outside the pass.
If that happened, the backlash would be extremely painful, so she said that she would rather die than go.
Yan Ruyu turned and walked away. Hua Can hurriedly asked from behind: "What do you want in exchange for letting me go?"
"Wait!"
Walking out of the cell, Huo Changhe gently embraced Yan Ruyu and looked at her worriedly. Seeing that her face looked unhappy, it was not like when she was in Dachao Village, he felt a little relieved.
"Are you okay?"
Yan Ruyu shook her head: "Did Your Majesty notice that she once said, my princess..."
"Indeed, she is probably not Mr. Mo's person. She just pretends to be one, or rather, makes us think she is."
Huo Changhe's analysis won Yan Ruyu's approval: "Yes, I think so too."
"She should know that we are at loggerheads with Mr. Mo, so she wanted to take advantage of the situation and mobilize the Dachao Village to trick us into coming into the village. She also asked the man disguised as Fengxiao to trick me into coming, and took the opportunity to catch us all in one fell swoop."
Huo Changhe gritted his teeth and said angrily: "How vicious!"
Yan Ruyu gently held his hand and said, "We need to find out which princess this is. The person who knows Mr. Mo and doesn't allow anyone to impersonate him must be an extraordinary person. Unfortunately, Hua Can only knows this much, and it's useless to ask any more."
"What is also certain is that she has nothing to do with Taoist Xuanqing."
Speaking of this, Yan Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Taoist Priest Xuanqing is fighting alone. Apart from the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple and the Goddess of Heavenly Eyes, he has no relationship with other people or forces.
This makes things much easier.
Huo Changhe looked back at the prison: "What do you want to do with Huacan? It's not appropriate for her to die in prison, and it's not appropriate for her to be taken to the execution ground."
"Then wait till tonight, or tomorrow night, and kill her directly," Yan Ruyu said with a cold expression. "As for the person behind her, if she doesn't want to talk about it, then she won't talk about it. We can find out anyway."
Huo Changhe held her hand and walked forward: "Then leave it to me. As for that princess, I also need to write a letter back to Beijing, and check the surrounding countries."
Yan Ruyu followed him slowly. The two of them walked slowly, their shadows on the ground lengthened and leaned against each other.
"What's the situation in the capital?"
"There's no news recently," Huo Changhe looked at the shadows of the two people, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, "I wonder if the great scholar has any news."
The great scholar is a man of the Sixth Prince Yongwang, and has been helping out in Huo Changxu's shop. Now he is a happy printer, printing books every day. You can have a sneak peek at them.
Every day is busy, fulfilling and happy.
A place for him to live was reserved in the new palace, but he later lived in the shop, where he both ran the shop and read books, which was also a good thing.
Speaking of which, Yan Ruyu hadn't seen him for a while.
"Go and take a look?" Huo Changhe asked.
"it is good."
When the two arrived, Huo Changxu was not there. He went to the academy to deliver paper samples.
The great scholar was there, wearing an apron in the backyard, arranging the movable type printing blocks and humming a tune.
He is living a happy life now. He occasionally gets together with Miaomiao and has a few drinks. When he has something to do, he works. When he has nothing to do, he reads books or goes to the nearby storytelling venue to listen to stories.
I have to say, other people's storytelling is much better than his.
Huo Changhe coughed, and the great scholar turned around and noticed them, and quickly put down the things in his hands.
"Hey, Lord and Princess, come, come and sit down."
He wiped his hands and moved a small chair over: "The Second Young Master is not here. He went out to deliver samples. He said it won't take long. Your Highness and Princess, please wait a moment."
"We're not looking for him, we're looking for you," Huo Changhe said.
The great scholar quickly said, "What do you want, my Lord?"
"Is there any news from the capital?"
The great scholar shook his head and said, "No, the master has not sent any letter recently. Don't worry, Your Majesty, if there is any, I will not hide it and will report it to you as soon as possible."
Huo Changhe nodded and was about to speak when a white shadow came over and landed on the treetop with flapping wings.
The carrier pigeon is white, strong and has a red ribbon tied around its claws.
Daru and Huo Changhe looked at each other, and both recognized the carrier pigeon.
