Hong Ying hurriedly reached for the letter, then quickly delivered it to Dongfang Xinglan.
Dongfang Xinglan reached out to take it, opened it, and saw that the letter contained only twelve words: Lord Qin, tomorrow evening, et at Dragon Valley Ridge.
Looking at the twelve words on the letter, Dongfang Xinglan slightly frowned and handed it to Hong Ying.
"Your Highness, has Commander Song co to Jianyuan State?!" Hong Ying's expression changed slightly: "Could it be that they discovered our escape?"
Her speech was rapid: "Your Highness, I think it's better not to et. What if he's not fleeing, but has sided with the Crown Prince and brought the Heavenly Observation Bureau Inspector along..."
As the maid closely serving Your Highness, Hong Ying knew clearly how terrifying the Ancestral Affairs Office, managed by the Heavenly Observation Bureau, was in the hearts of Eastern Royal Family mbers!
Especially their 'Everlasting Song', which could tornt Dongfang Clan mbers with royal bloodline endlessly through the night.
Although Your Majesty valued Your Highness greatly, the Ancestral Affairs Office hadn't punished Your Highness much. But now, Your Highness has raised an army under the na 'Crown Prince's lack of morality, raise an army to pacify the rebellion', how could the Ancestral Affairs Office let Your Highness off?
"Your Highness, allow this subordinate to go investigate first." Hong Ying knelt on one knee: "If any mishap truly occurs, I am willing to ease your worries."
"Your task is to head north to receive the refugees." Dongfang Xinglan calmly looked at Hong Ying: "This matter is more important, you mustn't err."
Hong Ying raised her head: "Your Highness's safety is more important than anything."
"I have discretion over this matter." Dongfang Xinglan raised a hand to stop her: "Having co to this point, I won't let everything we've gained go to waste because of such trivial matters."
"Luo Ning." Dongfang Xinglan looked outside the room.
A female official hastily ran in: "Greetings, Your Highness!"
"You lead three thousand people to dig three feet around Dragon Valley Ridge, and as long as you find Heavenly Observation Bureau Inspectors, kill them without rcy."
"At your command!"
"Wei Lan!"
"Present!"
"Investigate all major towns in Jianyuan State, and imdiately arrest anyone from Shengjing with suspicious movents or those who harbor them... use severe punishnt!"
"At your command!"
"Hong Ying, go tell Chang Long to issue a bounty." Dongfang Xinglan stood with hands behind her back: "Anyone who discovers and captures Heavenly Observation Bureau Inspectors or suspects thereof will be rewarded with a Hundred Households, silver taels, and three Source Pills!"
Listening to Lord Qin's series of orders, Hong Ying breathed a sigh of relief: "This subordinate accepts the orders!"
Under such thorough investigation, there can't possibly be any more Heavenly Observation Bureau Inspectors coming, right?
After all, that group of troublemakers from the Heavenly Observation Bureau are quite recognizable due to their aura.
And as long as there are no Heavenly Observation Bureau Inspectors, Your Highness's powerful status as one of the Eighteen Martial Saints will surely keep the Southwest safe!
"Get on with it."
"This subordinate takes her leave."
Only Dongfang Xinglan remained in the main hall, she turned around to silently look at the map again, her eyes flickered.
If Song Zhong really encounters problems, many plans will have to be changed.
Fortunately, she had made contingency plans beforehand.
After all, delivering intelligence from such a dangerous place as Shengjing has a high possibility of being discovered.
Above all, she wouldn't trust anyone from this Dynasty.

"Zhiyu, wake up and get ready to eat."
Inside the carriage, Zhiyu sat up at the sound of 'eat', even before opening her eyes, then slowly blinked them open.
But her half-asleep appearance made her eyes look uneven in size, quite adorable.
"Food... Master... food food.."
A groggy Zhiyu climbed into Lu Jin'an's embrace, comfortably leaned against his chest, and yawned widely: "Master, what are we eating?"
"Let's see what local specialties they have here, and I'll make you a cake as well!"
"Cake!" Zhiyu woke up imdiately, looking up to laugh: "Master is the best!"
Lu Jin'an gently combed her ssy dark hair, then placed her between his legs to help her tidy up.
Zhiyu happily swung her little white feet: "Master, Zhiyu wants bun hair, two!"
"Alright..."
"Master, where have we reached?"
Lu Jin'an looked up toward a distant city and spoke softly.
"We've entered Jianyuan State."
"I don't know, but Zhiyu knows it's really far, right?"
"Indeed."
Lu Jin'an smiled: "Even the New Year is over."
