Prince Bao's back was facing her as he looked at the cavalrymen from afar. His purple robe was fluttering in the wind.
Standing here, his field of vision suddenly widened. The entire grassland was in front of him, and he could clearly see that the cavalrymen had split into five groups, each rushing in a different direction at an extremely fast speed.
"You're the eldest daughter of King An's family?" Prince Bao turned his head around, his eyes shining as if he could see through her heart.
"Leng Qing greets Imperial Granduncle." Leng Qing curtsied.
Prince Bao waved his hand. "What do you want to say?"
"Grand Uncle, the Head Chief of my residence said that there is a traitor in the cavalry," Leng Qing said calmly.
Contrary to her imagination, Prince Bao's expression was calm when he heard this. "Oh, there's a traitor? How can he be so sure that there's a traitor? "
Leng Qing shook her head.
"Little girl, what do you think?" Prince Bao smiled.
His tone was kind, not as harsh as the rumors said.
However, Leng Qing did not relax. She said slowly, "I don't think it's possible. Everyone here has to go through many layers of checks before they can enter. With so many layers of checks, it's impossible for a spy to sneak in."
"If there really is a traitor among us, then we have to be careful." Prince Bao shook his head and laughed. "These elites are going to enter the palace to meet the emperor. What will happen if they go crazy when they meet the emperor? How many heads will roll on the ground!"
"… Yes." Leng Qing was starting to believe Chu Li.
The Head Chief was meticulous, how could he not think of this? He even decided to tell Prince Bao about it. It was obvious that it was very likely to be true.
Prince Bao sighed. "Your Head Chief is called Chu Li, right?"
"Imperial Granduncle also knows about the Head Chief?"
"Of course I have." Prince Bao smiled and said, "The youngest rank-one, how could I not know! … The Yi Public House really dares to mess around. High Duke Xiao is in isolated cultivation, and the Young Master of the Xiao Clan is also a powerful figure. He actually dares to confer a First Rank! "
"Grand Uncle, what about the traitor …?" Leng Qing asked hesitantly.
Prince Bao said, "Let's do it this way. Call Chu Li over and ask him about it. We can't underestimate the youngest Rank-1. Who knows, he might really have some amazing discoveries. Keep it quiet and don't make it public."
"Yes." Leng Qing nodded.
Prince Bao said, "This matter cannot be made public. Girl, you know the severity of this matter."
"Yes, Grand Uncle, I understand," Leng Qing said softly.
"Go." Prince Bao waved his hand.
Leng Qing retreated cautiously.
Even though Prince Bao was amiable, she still felt a layer of cold sweat on her back. Standing in front of him, she could not help but feel nervous.
She approached Chu Li and said a few words to him. Then, she looked at him worriedly.
If it was a false alarm, Chu Li would definitely suffer.
Chu Li strode to the front of the building and climbed up.
All the girls saw this and discussed in low voices, not knowing what was going on.
Lu Yurong frowned. While talking to Leng Ying, she looked up at the tall building.
Prince Bao stood in front of the railing with his hands behind his back. His purple robe fluttered in the wind as he stood with his back facing Chu Li. His aura was like the mountains and the seas as it pressed down on Chu Li.
Chu Li activated the Omniscient Mirror and became clear-headed. He ignored the oppressive aura and gave a fist salute. "Chu Li greets Prince Bao."
"I've heard a lot about you." When Prince Bao turned his head around, his immense force vanished without a trace. It seemed like it was just Chu Li's imagination.
"I wouldn't dare." Chu Li gave a fist salute and smiled.
Prince Bao asked in a deep voice, "You're saying that there's a traitor in the cavalry?"
Chu Li smiled.
On the surface, Prince Bao looked calm as if he was not anxious at all. However, Chu Li could see that Prince Bao was the complete opposite.
This matter involved too many people. If it was true, there would be many officials who would fall. Even as Prince Bao, he could not help but feel afraid when he thought about it.
"If I'm not wrong, there's a traitor!"
Prince Bao frowned. "What evidence do you have? These people were selected through many rounds of selection. It's almost impossible for there to be a traitor!"
Chu Li said, "Prince Bao, do you know what I do in the High Duke's Public House?"
"Glory's Will Courtyard? I heard that you're in charge of finding traitors?" Prince Bao said slowly.
Chu Li nodded. "Although I'm young, I'm quite experienced in finding traitors. I don't rely on evidence but my intuition. If I'm not wrong, this spy should be a Grandmaster!"
"Impossible!" Prince Bao said in a deep voice.
Chu Li smiled. "Why is it impossible?"
"If it's a Grandmaster from another dimension entering the Fairy's Capital, he'll definitely be discovered by the Imperial House Protectors and be monitored!"
"But what if he can hide his cultivation level?"
"An Innate Master can still hide, but a Grandmaster is like a candle in the night. How can he hide!" Prince Bao shook his head and laughed. "The techniques of hiding in the martial arts world are not reliable. They won't be able to hide from the masters of the Fairy's Capital. The Imperial House has a special detection technique."
Chu Li said, "This master can hide from them. As for the method, you'll have to ask him. … That's all I have to say. It's up to you whether you believe me or not, Your Royal Highness."
Prince Bao slapped the railing and weighed the pros and cons.
If something went wrong during the Hunting Ceremony, it would shake the Imperial House and the Imperial Court. It was not a small matter. If he mobilized a large number of people and it turned out to be a false alarm, he would be ridiculed by others.
After a while, Prince Bao said slowly, "Although it's suspicious of us mobilizing a large number of people, there's always a contingency. We can't be too careful! … Which one is it? "
"A cavalryman from the Red Army," Chu Li said.
Prince Bao stared at him deeply.
Chu Li smiled.
"Alright, I'll believe you this time! I hope that you, the youngest First Rank, won't let me down!" Prince Bao said in a deep voice.
Chu Li smiled. "I won't let you down, Your Royal Highness."
Prince Bao nodded and said in a deep voice, "Call the Red Team back!"
"Yes!" A middle-aged cavalryman downstairs replied.
The middle-aged cavalryman leaped onto his horse and urged the horse to gallop away. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
Everyone was discussing.
Leng Qing was summoned to the pagoda. Lu Yurong, Consort Lu, and Leng Ying followed.
"Qing Er, what did you say to Prince Bao? Why did you summon the Head Chief over?" Song Liuying frowned.
Leng Qing looked around and shook her head.
"You little girl, hurry up and tell me!" Song Liuying said impatiently.
Leng Qing said faintly, "Mother, I can't say."
"You …" Song Liuying frowned.
Xue Ningyu smiled. "This must be Prince Bao's order, right?"
Leng Qing nodded.
Lu Yurong smiled and said, "Let me guess, Chu Li must have noticed something wrong?"
Leng Qing looked at her with her bright eyes and sighed. Chu Li was right. Lu Yurong's observation was really sharp.
Lu Yurong said, "This problem must be serious, so it's better not to make it public. What's Chu Li's best at?"
"What is it?" Leng Ying asked curiously.
Lu Yurong smiled. "Young Ying, do you know what Chu Li did in the High Duke's Public House?"
"I don't know." Leng Ying shook her head.
Although she was curious about this Head Chief Chu, she did not worship him. She did not want to understand him in detail.
Lu Yurong said, "He was the chief of the Glory's Will Courtyard. The Glory's Will Courtyard is where the High Duke's Public House specializes in finding traitors. So, you know what Chu Li is best at?"
"Catching traitors?" Leng Ying said.
Lu Yurong nodded. "If that's the case, Chu Li found out that there's a traitor among the elite soldiers?"
Her clear eyes fell on Leng Qing's face.
Leng Qing pursed her red lips and did not say a word.
