Chapter 221: Disguise

"I wish you goodbye to my father." Shen Yishuo was playing chess with his Wan'er in the mansion. Who would have thought that he would be interrupted by Xiao Caozi beside his father. This young father-in-law came to convey the emperor's oral order to ask the third prince to enter the palace immediately.

Shen Yishuo had no choice but to let Yunguan keep the chess and wait for him to go back and continue playing chess.

"Shuo'er, here you come." Shen Yixiang looked worried, and the secret report he had just received made him restless and worried.

"I wonder why my father was anxious to call me?" Shen Yishuo could not guess what his father frowned and was thinking about, and he had not received any secret letters recently.

"Shuo'er really doesn't know?" Shen Yixiang felt that the third prince was suspected of pretending to be confused.

"I don't know, so please let my father tell me." Shen Yishuo didn't know why his father was worried about again.

"The Jinge envoy was robbed by bandits on his way back, and the situation was unknown." Shen Yixiang shook his head helplessly. He was very frightened when he heard the news.

"Can your father send your son to find out this matter?" Shen Yishuo speculated, and he said it was better to take the initiative than to wait passively.

"Is Shuoer willing?" Shen Yixiang hesitated for a long time who should be sent to find out the truth. He can count on him at present, except for Shen Yishuo.

"I am willing to serve my father." Shen Yishuo could not refuse. He had never opposed his father's orders. He would do whatever he ordered.

"There is no news from Jinge Kingdom at present, and I don't know if he knows this. Shuoer has to go to Liangzhou to investigate the case thoroughly. If the matter happens suddenly, it is better to deal with it." Shen Yixiang saw that Shen Yishuo's attitude was very positive, so he was willing to continue talking about this matter. He was not sure what the envoy is now.

"Father, why did the envoys and their group meet bandits? Didn't they set out first? They should have returned to Jin Ge early." Shen Yishuo remembered very clearly that Jin Ge envoys left the imperial capital the morning after the birthday party, and the others stayed for two or three days before leaving for the trip.

"This traveler stayed for a while when he passed by Anzhou, maybe it was because of this." Shen Yixiang was also very surprised. Logically, they should have left the Great Zhou long ago, but the secret report did say that the envoy was robbed by bandits the night before yesterday.

"Was the border between Anzhou and Qingzhou, was the envoys and their squad who deliberately purchased jade, and they were targeted by the bandits in Qingzhou?" Shen Yishuo analyzed that Anzhou's specialty jade, even the most used jade, was the best produced in Anzhou.

"Shuoer's words are reasonable, and there is no possibility of this, but if it is related to Qingzhou bandits, why do you have to follow Liangzhou all the way to start?" Shen Yixiang had too many questions in his mind. The behavior of the envoys and the bandits was abnormal.

"Following hundreds of miles, I just want to cover up my eyes and ears in Liangzhou? The behavior of the bandit is too abnormal. Whether it is Liangzhou, Anzhou or Qingzhou, this matter is not like the bandits' intentions that they have made a temporary decision." Shen Yishuo overturned his guess again.

"I sent you there just to investigate the secrets. I only speculate based on the secret reports from various places. I am afraid that it will be difficult to know the truth." Shen Yixiang was afraid that someone would make trouble in secret, so he deliberately provoked the relationship between Dazhou and Jin Ge, which would affect the stability of the court and the health of the people.

"Is it because this bandit was afraid of involving the previous robbery case? So he started to play tricks." Shen Yishuo recalled the case of King Huanyi being robbed and continued to speculate. He still had many things to find out about that case, "Ah? Could it be that it was the cause of the Ancient Sect Alliance?"

"I am very sad when I hear Shuoer's analysis." Shen Yixiang's eyes were filled with sadness when he heard the Anshang Sect Alliance. These four words were like a knife barbed in his heart, which made him feel uncomfortable but unable to pull it out. "Whether it is the Anshang Sect Alliance or the bandits, the behavior of robbing the envoys is not conducive to the stability of the Great Zhou and Jinge."

"Don't worry too much, Father, it may be that the bandits and their envoys recognized as wealthy merchants, just to rob money. Perhaps it was just a coincidence." Shen Yishuo was afraid that his father would become sick, so he comforted him, saying that it was probably a coincidence.

"If it were just a bandit who robbed money, they would definitely not be able to seek money and kill him. I was afraid that there would be a Dark Sect Alliance in it, so it would be hard to say." Shen Yixiang was not willing to think about it badly. Once something happened to the envoy, the Great Zhou Dynasty would naturally not be able to escape the relationship. No matter what, he would have to give King Jin Ge an explanation.

"Father, when will the envoys and his group be robbed?" Shen Yishuo forgot to ask this most important question.

"The night before yesterday was Xu." Shen Yixiang had been unable to sleep well in the past two days, as if he had a sense of emotion.

"It's so late, don't the envoy need to rest? Why are you in a hurry to go to the night? If you really are in a hurry to return, why do you have to delay in Anzhou for several days? And there is no clear news about what happened the night before. Could it be that the Liangzhou Prefect is trying to hide something?" Shen Yishuo did not know the Liangzhou Prefect, and he didn't even know what his name was.

"The prefect of Liangzhou received a report that night. Someone claimed that he saw bandits robbing the envoys, so the prefect immediately rushed to send a secret report for 800 miles, but I think this matter is strange."

Shen Yixiang didn't know what the flaw was, and he was afraid that someone would deliberately hide it. Except for Shen Yishuo who could make him trust, he didn't think anyone could take on this important task.

"This matter is indeed strange. It was obviously a journey in the middle of the night, and there were witnesses who were robbed. When reporting the case, the identity of the person being robbed was known. Has the Liangzhou prefect checked the matter clearly?" Shen Yishuo was suspicious and reasonable.

"Shuoer went to Liangzhou to check the witnesses. He mainly observed Liangzhou's prefect Liang Yinxian. Even if he had any abnormalities, don't be alerted. Everything was decided after there was conclusive evidence." Although Shen Yixiang believed that the third prince was cautious in his words and deeds, he still indifference instructed him.

"Don't worry, Father, I know what to do. If there is any movement, I will report it to you at any time." Shen Yishuo said confidently, but he was not sure that he could quickly find out the case.

"Shuoer, the envoy is related to the future of our two countries. If it is not handled well, it is easy to intensify conflicts. Although Jin Ge has been in good relations with the Great Zhou for decades, it has annexed several tribes of all sizes in recent years, and its military strength cannot be underestimated."

After Shen Yixiang finished speaking earnestly, he immediately turned into a concerned tone and said, "Hey~ Huan's injury has not yet healed, and the prince-consort still has to take care of Han'er. Shuo'er must pay attention to safety when he goes alone. I just hope you are safe and smooth. Besides, Shuo'er doesn't need to be too anxious. Just act when you see the opportunity. I have ordered the Prime Minister to take the auspicious time and tell you."

"Thank you for your care, and your sons must protect yourself and live up to your father's trust in your sons." Shen Yishuo was flattered. His father never said so many words to him in his daily life.

If you walk on a difficult and dangerous road, you will be happy. If you have any flesh and worries, I will complain alone.
