After Qin Yining got married, he began to understand Cao Yuqing's infatuation and pain. However, Cao Yuqing wasn't an ordinary woman. She didn't have that kind of childish attitude. Her carefree and open-minded nature made Qin Yining envious and impressed.
"It's been hard on you." Qin Yining sighed ruefully, but he didn't know what to say.
Strictly speaking, Cao Yuqing could be considered the Sun Clan's rival in love. Qin Huaiyuan had always treated Cao Yuqing with respect and hadn't done anything excessive. However, if Pang Xiao had a woman who was willing to wholeheartedly protect him, even if Pang Xiao didn't fall in love with that woman, as his wife, she probably wouldn't feel comfortable, right?
However, even though she felt uncomfortable, she couldn't afford to hate someone who knew her limits and wasn't pretentious.
Cao Yuqing seemed to be able to see through Qin Yining's thoughts. She smiled and said, "Don't think too much about it. This is part of my job. After all, I promised your father that I would be his bodyguard. Since he asked me to lend you a hand, I naturally have to do my best to complete the task that he has arranged for me. "
Even though she said that, humans weren't plants. How could they be completely emotionless?
Qin Yining knew that she was only saying this to make him feel better, so he didn't point it out.
Cao Yuqing said, "Since there are no outsiders here, let's talk about serious matters."
"Alright." Qin Yining said, "Do you know about the incident with the treasure?"
Cao Yuqing said, "I guessed that something had happened. Not a single one of the six spies I sent out replied to my letter. I discussed this matter with your father. Your father believes that it's certain that the treasure was lost. However, whether it was Qingtian Alliance's last minute betrayal or a traitor among the Silver Masked Spies, the chances of this happening are 50-50. "
When Qin Yining heard this, he said, "Then what do you think the chances of the Silver Masked Spies betraying us are, Bodyguard Cao?"
Cao Yuqing couldn't help but laugh, "You're quite direct. I'm the leader of the Silver Masked Spies, so I naturally trust my subordinates. Perhaps you don't know much about us, but I can tell you that after we were selected, we received training from a young age. In our eyes, we are risking our lives for the sake of money. But when the late emperor raised this group of people, what he taught the most was loyalty and dedication to the mission.
"To put it bluntly, although silver is used as a measure of our mission, it is not the most important thing in our lives. Don't expect us to be interested in anything after we've been trained to be tools. "
Qin Yining understood and began to worry. "Are you saying that it's unlikely that the six of them will betray us?"
"Yes." Cao Yuqing said firmly, "I don't know what the Qingtian Alliance told you, and I really don't know what happened to them, but the result is that the treasure is gone, and the people are missing. Now, without any evidence, you're concluding that the Silver Masked Spies betrayed us just by listening to one sentence from the Green Sky Alliance. Isn't this a little too arbitrary? "
When Qin Yining heard this, he couldn't help but admit that Cao Yuqing was right.
It didn't matter how much Qin Huaiyuan trusted the Silver Masked Spies.
She didn't have a good impression of the Green Sky Alliance. In the past, when they were working to overthrow the incapable ruler, this group of alliance members was like a grass-roots team, although most of them gathered together because of their hatred for the incapable ruler. However, after they took their revenge, many of the people who stayed behind were mixed in with the former "heroes".
The former Green Sky Alliance was a rebel group in the Dayan, so most of the alliance members didn't have a household register. There were even many criminals with bad character mixed in.
After the Dayan surrendered to Da Zhou, this group of people without a household register became even more marginalized.
Da Zhou's household register had to be based on the Dayan's household register. This group of "bandits" who couldn't enter Da Zhou's household register were still not recognized as bandits.
Qin Yining didn't look down on these people's identities, but she felt that such a large organization lacked management, and each of them did things their own way. These people didn't listen to her and often played tricks with her. They didn't truly believe her.
Compared to the disciplined and professionally trained Silver Mask Spies, the difference in quality between the Green Sky Alliance, which was like loose sand, was obvious.
Qin Yining thought about many things, but it only took a few breaths for the outside world.
Cao Yuqing said: "What's the situation here? Tell me about it so we can think of a countermeasure. At home, I often talk about things here with your father, and I've also been influenced by his ideas and opinions. If you trust me, if I encounter the same problem later, I can pass on your father's words to you. "
Qin Yining was overjoyed and said: "Okay, then I'll have to trouble you." He then explained in detail how they had found the treasure along the way, how they had been detained in the cave where the treasure was hidden, how they had been placed under house arrest on the mountain, how they had managed to leak the news, how they had arrived at the old capital, how they had arrived at Yang County, and how they had prepared the rice for the disaster relief in detail.
Finally, she talked about what happened after Mrs. Liao came.
"So what you mean is that the emperor has already surrounded the old capital with his men? But when I came, I didn't find these people. "
"They naturally have a military camp, and it's impossible for them to do anything too eye-catching. I think they must have set up camp in a hidden place and scattered. "
"Interesting." Cao Yuqing couldn't help but laugh sarcastically. "These people who are emperors have different brains from us ordinary people.
In their hearts, are the lives of ordinary people not important? I think this emperor, who claims to be a wise emperor, chose between the disaster victims and the treasure. Didn't he still choose the treasure? If it weren't for you and Mr.
Son-in-law racking his brains to spread the wealth and take the blame, I'm afraid this place would have been in chaos. How could that person have any spare energy to look for the treasure? "
Hearing that, Qin Yining smiled bitterly.
"People under the eaves, we can't do anything about it. Now the treasure has disappeared into thin air. I'm worried that the people on both sides might be in danger, and I don't know what to do. "
Cao Yuqing pondered for a moment and said: "In my opinion, there must be a traitor who betrayed you. And I don't think it's the people from Silver Mask Secret Detective. The subordinates we train are like tools, so they shouldn't do that. Therefore, wealth moves people's hearts. It's very likely that the Azure Sky Alliance found an excuse to hide the treasure and claim it as their own. Or, they deliberately hid the treasure to lure people to take the bait and catch them all in one fell swoop. "
"I also have this suspicion." Qin Yining sighed and said: "Although Wang Ye doesn't have any rebellious thoughts, the enemy is suspicious. However, the enemy was constantly suspicious and suspicious. Sooner or later, there would be a day when they would make their move. It's not safe for the treasure to be in the enemy's hands. If the higher-ups were more considerate of the people, we wouldn't have forced a duck onto a perch to snatch the treasure this time. "
Because they didn't have enough manpower, Pang Xiao's people were strictly guarded and monitored. Qin Yining had no choice but to use the spies outside and the people from the Qingtian Alliance.
But who knew that something would still happen.
Cao Yuqing patted Qin Yining's shoulder and said: "You don't have to worry. I will continue to investigate in the next few days. There are also some secret signals between us spies. Wait until I've checked carefully before I come back to discuss it with you. "
Qin Yining's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said in realization: "No wonder father arranged for you to come."
Cao Yuqing couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. "Your father is brilliant."
Qin Yining burst out laughing. Cao Yuqing's face heated up and she also laughed softly.
Cao Yuqing was originally very gentle and charming, and now that she was laughing so hard, even though she was dressed like a man, her every movement was valiant and valiant, revealing a different kind of beauty.
Qin Yining liked it and couldn't help but sigh softly.
No wonder the Sun Clan didn't like Cao Yuqing so much. The more he got along with this woman, the more
, the more points of brilliance you can find in yourself.
Under this beautiful skin, there was a competitive heart that wouldn't lose to a man.
Cao Yuqing sat for a while longer before she quietly left.
When Pang Xiao returned, Qin Yining and Pang Xiao sat alone in the quiet back office. Qin Yining whispered in Pang Xiao's ear about the day's events.
Pang Xiao was first stunned, and then …
He carefully asked the people from the Qingtian Alliance about the contents of the note.
With Qin Yining's intelligence, he could already recite the note after reading it twice. Therefore, when Pang Xiao asked her about it, she memorized the entire note from the first word.
Pang Xiao hugged Qin Yining's shoulder and muttered, "I'm afraid this matter is really going to jump out."
Qin Yining was a bit nervous. Are you saying that Your Majesty might already know about this matter? "
Pang Xiao analyzed carefully and finally said, "It's not necessarily a bad thing. At least now, the people from the Qingtian Alliance are very suspicious. They've already been noticed by us."
"You also think that the people from the Qingtian Alliance are more suspicious?" Qin Yining asked.
Pang Xiao said, "I'm just talking nonsense. It's not accurate. However, the people from the Qingtian Alliance are really unpredictable. Also, I still don't understand why Your Majesty is so sure that he definitely knows that the treasure is in Yang County. The roads in Yang County are really too difficult to travel. They're transporting such a heavy treasure. It's not like they came empty-handed. How did they manage to transport the hidden treasure without anyone noticing? "
Pang Xiao didn't mean anything else when he said this. Qin Yining thought of another layer.
"So, I'm afraid they've already planned this. They've already found the location of the hidden treasure. The carrier pigeons that we used to send messages became their signal. They successfully avoided outsiders and hid the treasure? "
The more Qin Yining said, the more helpless he felt.
Pang Xiao was very distressed. He held her in his arms and said, "Don't think too much. Let's see the results of Bodyguard Cao's investigation first. Bodyguard Cao is much better at spying and hiding her tracks than I am. She'll definitely find a clue. "
Sure enough, it was just as Pang Xiao said.
