The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

Chapter 147 The Receptionist

The next morning, the sun shone through the clouds, casting a faint light, as if to wash away the darkness and blood of last night. Princess Qianying stood in front of the window, her face slightly pale, but her eyes were bright as stars. She was still frightened by last night's experience, but as a member of the royal family, she did not shrink back from fear.

Princess Qianying strolled in the morning light, the breeze brushing across her face, bringing a breath of fresh air. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner uneasiness. Suddenly, she saw two figures in front of her, the Second Prince and Master Chenxuan who had just finished discussing something.

"Second brother, Lord Yang." Princess Qianying called softly and walked towards them.

The second prince walked up quickly and looked at Princess Qianying with concern: "Qianying, are you feeling better? Why don't you rest for a while?" His tone was full of worry.

Princess Qianying smiled and shook her head gently: "Thank you for your concern, Second Brother. I am much better now. I just want to go out for a walk and breathe some fresh air." Then she turned to Master Chenxuan and said gratefully: "I also want to thank Lord Yang for the ointment and sachet."

Master Chen Xuan smiled and replied, "Princess, you don't have to be polite. As long as you think it's useful, it's fine. If it wasn't for saving me, the princess wouldn't have been hurt. This is what I should do."

Princess Qianying blushed slightly and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, what happened to those assassins yesterday? Did anyone confess?" There was a hint of concern in her eyes.

The second prince Zhao Ziyuan's face turned a little ugly. He frowned and replied, "Those guys are very stubborn. No matter threatened or bribed, they refuse to tell the truth. At present, there are only two survivors." There was obvious anger in his voice.

Young Master Chen Xuan, who was standing by, saw this and comforted him softly, "Your Highness, don't be too angry. These people are all death warriors and will not surrender easily. If not for this, the mastermind behind the scenes would not dare to send them here to kill us so blatantly." His tone was calm and gentle.

Although these words were reasonable, Zhao Ziyuan did not feel relieved. Instead, he became even more angry. He gritted his teeth and said, "Humph, since you are a cunning fox, you will reveal your tail one day!" His eyes flashed with determination.

Master Chen Xuan nodded and agreed: "Your Highness is right, but the most urgent task at present is to rush to Qingzhou to meet with Lord Gu as soon as possible. After all, the refugees of Chu are still waiting for this batch of food to save their lives. As for the assassin, you can detain him first and investigate him slowly later."

Zhao Ziyuan nodded and said, "Brother Chenxuan is right. Let's keep them for a few more days. We'll eat something later and then get ready to set off. If everything goes well, we should be able to arrive in Rucheng at noon today."

"Okay! Let's set off without further ado." After saying that, the two turned around and arranged for everyone to pack their luggage and prepare to move on.

The troops of the two countries were galloping on the wide official road like the wind, the sound of horse hooves resounded through the sky, and a cloud of dust was raised. At this moment, a large number of people and horses suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

"Is that the convoy in front of us that of the Second Prince and the envoys from Shun Kingdom?" someone shouted loudly from the opposite side.

The second prince's chief guard immediately responded: "Exactly, who are you?"

The other party replied: "I am General Mo Liang of Yunhui, and I am here on the orders of His Majesty to escort the Second Prince and Princess Qianying."

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the second prince's eyes. He immediately raised his whip, urged his horse forward, a happy smile appeared on his face, and shouted to General Mo in the distance: "General Mo, long time no see. You came at the right time!" His voice was full of joy and anticipation.

General Mo also immediately rode forward, came in front of the Second Prince, dismounted and saluted, saying: "This humble general greets the Second Prince. I heard that the Second Prince has been repeatedly assassinated along the way. I wonder if he is injured? This time, this humble general brought 500 cavalrymen, several military doctors and a lot of medicine to support him. The rest of you will wait in Rucheng and await orders." He looked at the Second Prince with concern, and his tone revealed his worry for the Second Prince's safety.

The second prince smiled and replied: "Thank you General Mo for your kindness. Many people were injured, but emergency treatment has been done. Let's rush to Rucheng first."

General Mo nodded and replied, "Yes." He turned around and waved to the cavalry behind him to follow, then he and the Second Prince set out on the road to Rucheng.

When they arrived in Rucheng, Mu Feng did not enter General Mo's camp with everyone else. When they were still some distance away from the camp, he took the initiative to say goodbye to the Second Prince and Master Chenxuan.

The Second Prince was quite appreciative of Mu Feng's tact, but he just told them not to tell anyone what they had seen and heard in the past few days and then sent them away.

After arriving at General Mo's camp, Zhao Ziyuan asked everyone to rest for a while. After everyone had dispersed, he ordered his men to bring the only two remaining captives to General Mo.

"General Mo, we originally captured six people alive, but unfortunately, there are only two left now. These people are very stubborn and refuse to reveal anything." The second prince said with a somewhat annoyed tone.

General Mo looked up and saw two captives tied up, dirty and tattered, obviously tortured. They had many scars on their bodies and blood on their faces. But for some reason, General Mo felt that these two people looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them before.

Although it was only a moment of strangeness, Zhao Ziyuan still keenly caught it. He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at General Mo with an inquiring look, and asked: "General Mo, do you know these two people?"

General Mo paused for a moment, then bowed and said, "Second Prince, these two people do look familiar, but I really can't remember where I have seen them before... Please forgive me, Your Highness."

After hearing this, the second prince smiled faintly: "This is such a coincidence. Among those assassins before, I also felt that one of them looked quite familiar. It seems that the person behind this should be someone we know!"

His eyes were like lightning, staring at the two assassins closely, as if he wanted to see through their masks to see their true identities. The two assassins' eyes finally showed some slight fluctuations, but they still said nothing.

Zhao Ziyuan frowned slightly when he saw this, and then ordered: "General Mo, these two people are temporarily handed over to you. Imprison them in the barracks first and see if you can get anything out of them. Don't let them die easily. Let's set off after everyone has rested for a while. After all, we have wasted a lot of time and must get to Qingzhou as soon as possible."

"Yes."
