Chapter 382 Dare to make a bet with me?
"Could their bringing the prince here be related to the internal power struggle within the Eastern Zhou royal family? And who are their collaborators?"
Jing Lei couldn't figure out this problem, and as of now, no one could give an answer.
Those who can deal with the Ink King are probably related to the various factions in the capital.
But nowadays, no one can say for sure how many factions are in power in the capital.
Although Prince Jin seems to have collapsed, he is not entirely without the possibility of getting back up.
However, his power has clearly weakened. Many of the ministers who originally sided with Prince Jin are now either observing the situation or have found new backers.
Since Prince Jin broke his leg at the autumn hunt, the various factions in the capital have clearly been in disarray.
At this point, which side is determined to completely destroy the Ink King?
"Your Highness, we still don't know what the situation is like in Heng County. We need to go back," Chu Yueli reminded him.
Although Chu Yueli was confident with her two aunts and Lei Ting around, nothing is absolute and there might be unexpected events.
"Tell Lei Xiao to have his men send these three corpses, along with all the items seized today, back to the capital as soon as possible and hand them over to Ye Huai'an of the Dali Temple for processing. The rest of you, immediately follow me back to Hengxian City."
"Yes!"
That night, they rushed towards Hengxian County without stopping. As dawn approached, Lu Beimo ordered the team to stop and rest for an hour before continuing their journey.
Huo Qing tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.
"Third Aunt, is something on your mind?" Chu Yueli was lying not far from her.
An hour is a very short time, and everyone tries to get some sleep, but Third Aunt keeps tossing and turning.
Huo Qing glanced at her sideways, then looked apologetic: "Ali, did your third aunt disturb you? Don't worry, your third aunt won't move around anymore."
"No, I probably can't sleep either." Surrounded by soldiers, Chu Yueli didn't dare to speak loudly, and the two of them lowered their voices: "Third Aunt, what are you thinking about?"
"I'll be back in Heng County tomorrow, but resting here now... I'm feeling unsettled." Huo Qing lowered her eyes.
"Is Third Aunt worried about Second Aunt and Aunt Anran?"
"Ah Li..." Huo Qing was somewhat surprised. Why did this little girl seem to be able to hide anything from her?
“I know that after what happened to Uncle, you have always been somewhat afraid of the battlefield. It’s not that you’re afraid of going to the battlefield yourself, but that you’re afraid of the people you care about going to war.”
After Huo Qing moved into the Duke's mansion, she stayed with Miao Yucui.
The two of them took care of the Duke together, prepared delicious food together, practiced martial arts, horsemanship, and archery together, and went out to play together, inseparable.
In just half a month, their relationship had developed to be even closer than that of biological sisters.
With her elder sister going to the battlefield, how could her younger sister not worry?
The shadow in Huo Qing's heart was simply too great.
"Third Aunt, don't panic. In my estimation, the ones who went to attack Heng County this time are mostly just some mountain bandits from the surrounding area."
"Why are the bandits attacking Hengxian County?" Huo Qing only knows how to fight; when it comes to strategy, she and Sanlang are both clueless.
“Yes, weren’t the bandits driven away? Why are they attacking Hengxian County for no reason?” A clear voice broke into their conversation.
Chu Yueli felt somewhat helpless.
Gossip, ah, it turns out, really is human nature.
Since they were both girls, Ye Zi was sent by Mo Wang to protect them, so she slept not far from the two of them.
Chu Yueli turned and glanced at her, then smiled and said, "Want to make a bet with me? If I say they're bandits, then they must be bandits. If I'm right, you can be my friend from now on, okay?"
