Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 236

Chapter 236: The Walls Have Ears
After the soldiers left, the second prince got up from the ground and looked at Duan Qinwang, who was locked in the opposite cell. He sneered and said, “You said everything has been arranged. Is this how you arrange things?”

Duan Qinwang knew that Emperor Yong’an must have sent someone to monitor his every movement, so he didn’t react when he heard the second prince’s words. Instead, he went back to the corner of the cell, lay down on the bunch of straws, and pretended to be asleep.

When the second prince saw Duan Qinwang ignore him, he became angry and wanted to scold him. However, before he could speak, he saw Duan Qinwang lightly tapping the wall with his index finger.

The meaning is clear. The walls have ears.

After realizing why he was ignored, the second prince calmed down and sat on the straw in the corner of the cell. Now that things have become like this, he can only wait for opportunities and act by ear.

At the same time, Emperor Yong’an had already bathed and changed clothes in Yang Xin Palace. He sat on the main chair in the side hall and asked, “Jian Liu, don’t you need to go back to Dali Si or the Jin Yi Army’s military camp? After today’s incident, the Jin Yi Army will definitely have much more work to do, right?”

Jian Liu leaned against the huge red pillar beside the entrance of the side hall and closed his eyes to rest. After hearing Emperor Yong’an’s question, he replied calmly, “The commander didn’t ask me to go back.”

Looking at his lower face and the black mask stained with blood, Emperor Yong’an knew that there must be more blood splattered on his black clothes than on his face.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Yong’an said, “Then go and clean up the blood on your body first.”

“Thank you for the invitation, Your Majesty. But it’s unnecessary.” Jian Liu said without opening his eyes.

Seeing that he could not have a normal conversation with Jian Liu, Emperor Yong’an shrugged and said, “Then do whatever you want.”

Not long after, Qiu Yuanbo came and said, “Your Majesty, Xie Guogong requested an audience.”

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yong’an raised his head from the document he was reading. He nodded and smiled, “Go and invite Shifu in quickly.”

After Qiu Yuanbo left, Jian Liu opened his eyes and said, “Since Your Majesty has important matters to discuss with Xie Guogong, I will not interrupt your conversation.”

Before Emperor Yong’an had time to say that it didn’t matter whether Jian Liu listened or not, Jian Liu had already disappeared from there.

Looking at the space where Jian Liu was standing before, Emperor Yong’an could only murmur in a low voice, “These people really can’t wait for a moment to listen to what others have to say.”

“Who are you talking about, Your Majesty?”

When Emperor Yong’an heard this question, he smiled and said, “Shifu, you are finally here. Have you captured the Xiong Nu’s prince?”

Xie Yanghui saluted Emperor Yong’an and said, “Yes. The second prince of the Xiong Nu has been handed over to Dali Si for investigation. Your Majesty, what do you want to do to the second prince?”

Emperor Yong’an slowly tapped on the big table with his fingers and said, “It would be stupid if we didn’t make use of this second prince to our advantage.”

Hearing this, Xie Yanghui asked, “Does Your Majesty have any plans?”

Emperor Yong’an’s eyes flickered, and he asked, “Shifu, besides this second prince, have you caught anyone else?”

Xie Yanghui shook his head and said, “The rest of the Xiong Nu have escaped, but I have ordered Xie Army to hunt them down. There should be results after a while.”

Emperor Yong’an nodded and asked again, “Do you think Luandi Huiyun will save the second prince?”

Xie Yanghui thought for a while and said, “I don’t know much about the Xiong Nu, but I heard that this second prince is the strongest candidate to be the next Chanyu from all of Luandi Huiyun’s sons. However, this is just a rumor, and we should conduct more in-depth investigations to be sure.”

Emperor Yong’an agreed with Xie Yanghui’s statement and said, “Then I will let Dali Si investigate this matter. The Jin Yi Army has been at war with the Xiong Nu for more than ten years, and they should know more about the Xiong Nu than we do.”

After saying that, Emperor Yong’an looked in the direction of the entrance and said, “Jian Liu, you heard it. Zhen wants to get the report before tonight.”

Jian Liu, who was sitting on the roof, sighed and jumped down. He walked into the side hall, nodded to Xie Yanghui as a greeting, and then said, “Your Majesty, please don’t leave the palace for the time being while I go investigate this. I will send someone to protect your safety.”

Emperor Yong’an smiled and said, “All right.”

Jian Liu clasped his fists and said, “Then I will take my leave first.”

Before leaving, Jian Liu bowed slightly to Xie Yanghui and disappeared. After Jian Liu left, Emperor Yong’an said, “Shifu, you should also go back and rest. The summer banquet will be held as scheduled tonight.”

Xie Yanghui clasped his fists and said, “All right. I will see you later, Your Majesty.”

Emperor Yong’an stood up, saluted Xie Yanghui, and said, “Shifu, please walk slowly.”

After leaving the imperial palace, Xie Yanghui returned to his residence. This was the second time he had returned to this place after coming back from the western border. Most of the time, he preferred to live in the Jin Yi Army military camp outside the imperial capital city together with his soldiers and friends.

When the soldiers guarding the main gate saw him coming back, they clasped their fists and said, “Supreme General, welcome back.”

Xie Yanghui dismounted, threw the horse reins to a soldier, and then went in. As soon as he walked through the main gate, he saw Zhan Wenmin coming in a hurry.
