Yun Jiao also wanted to leave early; the farther from Huining, the safer.
She put down the child, sat at the table, and ate noodles while asking, "By the way, how did you get in touch with Lin Shishi?"
Jiang Youzhi also sat down to eat noodles, speaking softly, "Lin Shishi joined the Spy Departnt; it was soone from there who contacted ."
Yun Jiao exclaid in surprise, "The Spy Departnt? Does Great Chu still have a Spy Departnt?"
Jiang Youzhi buried his head in his noodles, "Hmm, is it so strange? Even though Great Chu looks weak and incompetent, that’s the problem of the Emperor Eritus and the Emperor, but institutions like the Spy Departnt still exist."
"After the fall of Dingjing this ti, the court lost contact with Huining’s Spy Departnt. I ca to Huining not only to find you but also to take on a public duty, to reconnect with people from the local Spy Departnt and rearrange its matters."
"This ti, the arrangents for dad and the others returning with the caravan, including travel permits, were also handled by people from the Spy Departnt."
"After all, they’ve been in Huining for quite so ti and have certain connections."
Yun Jiao muttered, "The old Spy Departnt probably wasn’t doing its job, otherwise the Jin Army would have almost reached Dingjing without news being relayed back."
Jiang Youzhi took a big bite of noodles and nodded, "That’s why I’ve already sent the forr officer from the local Spy Departnt back to Great Chu. Now Lin Shishi is in charge of Huining’s Spy Departnt."
Yun Jiao replied with an "Oh," "Lin Shishi is very intelligent; I think this ti we found the right person."
She suddenly glanced sideways at Jiang Youzhi, laughing, "I almost forgot to congratulate you for becoming the Grand Secretary."
Jiang Youzhi shook his head, "What’s there to congratulate? Great Chu only has half of its territory left, and the court is lacking personnel. All officials above rank three have been captured by Jin Country, except those serving locally. Now they’ve all been sent to Yilan City, north of Huining, each given a plot of land, living self-sufficiently."
Yun Jiao snorted, "Serves them right. They only wanted to negotiate peace at the ti and refused to resist!"
"By the way, I heard the Emperor Eritus and the Emperor are also in Yilan, locked in a dry well; is it true?"
Jiang Youzhi finished the noodles in a few bites, "Yes, it’s true."
"Jin Country feared the Emperor Eritus and the Emperor might be rescued, so they locked them in a well, everything is done inside."
Yun Jiao curiously asked, "These two foolish monarchs, is there really soone who wants to rescue them?"
Jiang Youzhi sipped his tea to rinse his mouth, "I don’t know, but certainly, the current emperor wouldn’t want them rescued."
"As for any heroic figures in Great Chu wanting to save them, that’s uncertain."
Yun Jiao chuckled, "That’s true, if they were rescued, the current emperor might not be able to sit steadily on his throne."
Jiang Youzhi stood up, "Take your ti eating, I’ll go to the kitchen to make so pancakes for the road."
After the al, Yun Jiao disguised herself again, dressing up as an ordinary-looking man.
She got up and walked to the kitchen, realizing there was an elderly couple in this small farmhouse who were sitting by the fire in the hall. When they saw Yun Jiao, they rely smiled kindly.
Yun Jiao greeted them in Jin Country dialect and went into the kitchen, where Jiang Youzhi was sowhat clumsily making pancakes, while Du Ruo tended to the fire.
Yun Jiao quickly pushed him aside, "Let do it. You go to the room and watch over You Er, don’t let him fall off the bed."
