"Who is that?" Yang Chuxia also saw the person and couldn’t help but ask.
"Don’t know."
As they reached closer, the person saw Ye Zi’an get down from the carriage and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Marquis Ye, I am Luo Qi, a man of General Luo."
"Uncle’s man?" Ye Zi’an glanced at him. He hadn’t seen this person before, so he examined him closely.
"Yes, this is Luo Qi’s waist tag," Luo Qi said, holding the token that was the Luo family’s guard badge. Worried that Ye Zi’an might not believe him, he added, "I and Ye Liu and others were trained together. If you doubt my identity, you can call any of them to verify the truth."
Upon seeing the special waist tag of the Luo family, Ye Zi’an already believed him, and hearing that he was trained with Ye Liu and others purely affird it.
"Follow inside!"
"Yes!"
Entering the courtyard, Yang Chuxia took Lele back to the room, while Ye Zi’an and Luo Qi went to the study.
"Marquis, I received a ssage from the spies who are covertly stationed in Great Qi. Before General Luo returned to the court, he had soone send a ssage that if there was sothing important, I was to report directly to you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zi’an’s expression grew solemn, indicating the seriousness of what was to co.
"Is there any new intelligence?"
"Marquis, our people in Great Qi sent word that Prince Le has appeared in Great Qi, not only that, he has beco the Second Prince of Great Qi."
"What?" Ye Zi’an was shocked; if this was true, the situation was dire. "Can it be confird that it’s him?"
"Ninety percent sure it’s him!" Luo Qi stated, "Because there is so difference in the facial features, originally our people couldn’t confirm. But it happened that his younger son was recognized by our people, and he is indeed your Second Young Master. General Luo had previously sent us word to look for Second Young Master Ye Er; we all have seen his portrait."
"And General Luo also ntioned that the Second Young Master was taken away by Prince Le; so we deduce that the Second Prince of Great Qi should be Prince Le."
Luo Qi continued, "The letter also stated that the Second Prince of Great Qi won the throne in the battle for succession, but does not intend to ascend himself; instead, he proclaid to the court officials that his young son Qiyang would take the throne."
Though shocked inside, he didn’t show it on his face.
"Is there any other news?" Ye Zi’an asked again. "Who eventually ascended the throne?"
"The later news is still unknown," Luo Qi replied.
Ye Zi’an nodded, "I understand, I will imdiately report to the court, we also have to prepare so responses for Liao City here."
If the Second Prince of Great Qi is indeed Prince Le, it seems that the impending war is unavoidable.
"I take my leave!"
After Luo Qi left, Ye Zi’an sat in place for a long ti before taking up his pen to write a letter to be sent imdiately to the Capital City.
"Is he really uncle’s man?" Yang Chuxia was accompanying Lele to organize so trinkets picked up from the mountain temple, and seeing Ye Zi’an’s somber expression, she approached, "What happened? What’s the matter?"
Lele also looked at him.
Ye Zi’an did not hide anything and repeated Luo Qi’s words to the two.
Yang Chuxia replied, "The information gathered by the spies should be correct. Back when Ye Liu and others followed to Yunchuan, he left a letter at the base. In the letter, he questioned , saying what’s the point of being our son, better to be his son; as his son, he might give him a country."
