Chapter 262: Betrayal
Yu Wuyou ate grapes, “I don’t mind treating the Emperor, but how do I see him?”
He tossed a grape into the air and then accurately caught it with his mouth.
“I can’t possibly pretend to be some minister or imperial physician, can I?”
Qin Wanwan raised her little arms, “Me, my Daddy has a way.”
Instantly, Xie Chong and Yu Wuyou both looked at her.
Xie Chong narrowed his eyes, “Which Daddy of yours?”
Speaking of which, he hadn’t asked clearly last time.
Qin Wanwan said crisply and clearly, “Father Rong!”
Xie Chong asked her name, and Qin Wanwan loudly said, “It’s Rong Zhi’s Daddy.”
Rong Zhi.
As soon as this name came out, Xie Chong was stunned for a few seconds before reacting.
“Who did you say?!”
Rong Zhi, was it the Rong Zhi he knew? It couldn’t be someone with the same name, could it?
“Rong Zhi’s Daddy.”
The little one repeated obediently.
Xie Chong: “Is it that Prime Minister in Shangjing?”
Qin Wanwan nodded with her innocent and beautiful big eyes.
Xie Chong: …
You are truly something, it really is that Rong Zhi.
“And another one?”
Qin Wanwan’s eyes rolled around.
“Can’t say.”
Alright.
With Rong Zhi around, it should be no problem for Yu Wuyou to sneak into the Imperial Palace to treat the Emperor.
“Then, do I have to leave Daddy again?”
Qin Wanwan was very reluctant, hugging Xie Chong’s neck and mumbling softly.
“It’s safer for you to go to Shangjing, and I won’t have to worry.”
Qin Wanwan responded with a dejected and “oh.”
“Then Daddy, you have to be well.”
Although the little one really wanted to stay with Daddy, she also knew that if she stayed, Daddy would worry.
“Can I make the grape wine before I leave?”
“I also need to write a letter to Father Shang, I wonder if Father Shang will also go to Shangjing?”
Xie Chong didn’t know about this either.
“Okay, we’ll leave after making the wine.”
That night, Qin Wanwan hugged her small pillow and went to sleep with Xie Chong again.
The little one was like this; knowing she was about to leave, she became particularly clingy, wishing she could stay with her Daddy whom she was about to part with all day long.
She started making wine the next day.
While busy at home, she didn’t forget about Daddy.
She made grape juice and went to find Daddy.
The situation was tense, and Wolf Xiaofeng and the others had been taken to help guard the granary.
Those people’s main purpose was to target the granary.
After arriving at the military camp, she was very well-behaved. When Daddy and the other generals were discussing matters, she quietly sat aside and played by herself.
When Daddy was free, she would stick to him.
“Daddy, are you tired? Here, drink some grape juice, eat strawberries, this tomato is also delicious.”
“Daddy, let me press your shoulders.”
She was very good and filial.
This made others look at Xie Chong with even more envy.
“Wanwan, Uncle is also tired. Can you give Uncle some food too?”
Qin Wanwan nodded, “Okay, Uncles, have some grapes.”
She was very generous; as long as Daddy had enough to eat, she could share the excess, hehe.
In the afternoon, Xie Chong sent the reluctant Qin Wanwan back.
The night was very quiet, which was even more suitable for those with ill intentions to take advantage of loopholes and do bad things.
“Hurry up, keep the noise down.”
“We have no food, and the people of Tianqi shouldn’t have any either!”
The grain couldn’t be stolen, after all, this was in Xie Chong’s main camp.
Since it couldn’t be stolen, the malicious ones thought of burning the grain or pouring water on it to make it moldy.
Since war was about to break out, naturally, they couldn’t let the people of Tianqi eat too much; it was best for them to have no food.
In the night, everything was unclear.
On the roof of the granary, several pairs of green eyes opened.
“Meow~”
The grassland cat on the roof became alert.
Seeing two people below greeting the soldiers guarding the granary, another person stealthily approached a corner of the granary and quickly moved a brick from the wall, revealing a hole.
“Quick, quick, get in.”
They were preparing to carry water inside.
Suddenly, a cat’s meow rang out.
Already extremely tense, the sudden cat’s meow startled them, and they nervously looked up.
Seeing the cat’s eyes on the eaves, one of them almost cried out.
At the critical moment, a companion with quick hands covered his mouth.
“It’s a cat.”
Seeing that it was a cat, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
“Damn it, scared me to death.”
“Go away, go away… If I didn’t have something to do right now, I’d skin it.”
“Meow!”
Just as they relaxed, the cat on the rafter suddenly let out a sharp cry.
In the darkness, the cat’s sharp cry was very piercing and eerie.
Especially after this cat meowed once, several pairs of eyes appeared one after another.
The cat’s eyes gleamed with a faint green light under the moonlight, staring directly at people, making one’s scalp tingle.
“You little beast!”
They dared not curse loudly, nor did they dare to make any move to drive it away, for fear of alerting the patrol soldiers.
“Don’t mind the cat, hurry in…”
The person at the front squeezed into the hole, but quickly retreated stiffly.
“Run, run!”
The person dropped the water bucket in his hand, his face full of fear, and scrambled back.
The others hadn’t even reacted to what was happening when a large head emerged from the hole they had opened.
The teeth, gleaming with cold light, instantly bit onto the person’s hind leg.
“Ahhh!!!”
This cry completely alerted the people in the military camp.
The remaining people were surrounded before they could even run.
The one who ran the fastest was kicked back.
Torches were lit around, and several thieves looked up in fear, seeing the border army led by Xie Chong.
“Well, we’ve caught a few mice.”
It was obvious that they had arrived so quickly because they had been waiting all along, setting a trap.
Among those caught were Tartars and two Tianqi people, one of whom was responsible for guarding the granary and therefore knew everything about this place.
“Arrest them and take them away.”
Xie Chong hated betrayal the most.
He looked at the two traitors with cold eyes.
“General, General spare my life, my family members were captured by them, I had no choice but to do this, I didn’t want to do it.”
The desire to survive made the two beg for mercy.
One was greedy for money, and the other was threatened because his family members were captured.
But no matter the reason, once unfaithful, never again.
Xie Chong valued loyalty, but he was also ruthless to traitors.
“Take them down.”
There was no emotion in his voice.
This arrest operation quickly subsided. On the surface, things appeared calm, but in reality, the undercurrent was surging.
It even affected Qin Wanwan.
The Tartars were paying attention to their opponent, Xie Chong, and naturally knew he had such a daughter.
She was his weakness.
If they could capture Xie Chong’s weakness, it would be the best.
Therefore, in the past few days, more people started to wander around the General’s Mansion.
On one occasion, after confirming that those powerful animals had left, they made their move while Qin Wanwan and Yu Wuyou were out shopping together.
