Chapter 4952: Caught Red-Handed
m.Meanwhile, Wan Qingchun and Zhang Liangyu were negotiating with the Minister of War together.To storm into the Ministry of War, relying solely on Yang Ruqing's hostage situation with the Minister of...Outside the city, by the roadside.
Yang Ruoqing sat in the carriage, she had been waiting, waiting for them to arrive.
"My lady, they have arrived."
Soon, a maidservant approached and reported, Yang Ruqing's delicate brows slightly arched.
> "Let's go greet them."
Yang Ruqing lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage.
She was followed by a dozen or so maidservants. They were all from the House of Loyal and Valiant Marquis, trusted confidantes.
Standing beside her was the maid Hongxiu, with a beautiful appearance and graceful manners. She was the daughter of an official's criminal family. In the past, she had been assigned to enter a brothel, but later she was rescued by Yang Ruqing and willingly became a personal maid. She also received Yang Ruqing's teachings. Besides playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, she could also use martial arts and assassination techniques.
"Madam, look, they are in front."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Hongxiu extended a finger to point forward.
One can see that at the end of the road, there are faint sounds of hooves approaching.
Gradually getting closer, the sound of hooves gradually merged into a roar.

A cavalry squad of over fifty men rode swiftly towards them from afar.
As they approached Yang Ruqing, they slowed their pace, coming to a halt right in front of her. Their control over the cavalry was masterful.
All the people dismounted and turned over.
“Greetings, madam.” The man who spoke was a sturdy youth of over twenty, dressed in a thick padded jacket. He knelt on one knee and bowed, while those behind him all followed suit. Fifty people or so spoke at once, their voices blending into one.
"Wake up, Jiang Wu, everyone wake up!" Yang Ruqing smiled and waved her hand.
Jiang Wu'er rose to his feet. He was the elite guard of Luo Fengtang, and the rest of the cavalry were all brave men selected from the army. They formed a small unit and traveled day and night until they finally reached the capital.
“Madam, this is a letter from the General. Also, the General has ordered that we follow your every command.” Jiang Wugong said.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Yang Ruqing nodded, she took the letter but did not open it immediately. Instead, she said: "This time, the purpose of transferring you back to the capital is not to take you away from the front lines and enjoy the splendor and ease of the capital, but to entrust you with important tasks. The specifics will be arranged when you return, but from now on, you must not relax."
“Yes!”
All responded in unison.
Yang Ruoqing nodded and then got into the carriage.
Jiang Wu'er mounted his horse and, leading this cavalry unit, followed Yang Ruohua into the city.
According to the rules of Daqi City, external armies were not allowed to enter the city. When the general returned with his troops, he could only station them outside the city. This was naturally done to prevent generals who held military power from rebelling against the emperor.
Such a system is naturally extremely strict.
However, cavalry units like Chiang Wu's were exempt due to the imperial decree serving as their pass.
After the cavalry entered the city, they stopped at a nearby estate. After they had properly stabled their horses and settled in, Yang Ruqing let you go.

They were selected by Luofeng Tang. They were the elites of the army, and their families all lived near the capital city.
Before assigning them tasks, let them go home for two days first. After everything is ready, they can come back to report.
Meanwhile, Han Feiyu also received the news. The plan he had prepared was temporarily shelved, waiting for two days to gather everyone before making a decision.
However, the results of the lure-the-enemy plan had already been sent into Yang Ruohui's room by Hongxiu.
Three assassins were all killed. They were specially trained mercenaries, the kind that ordinary people couldn't afford to hire. Yang Ruqing looked at the report in her hand, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Even wealthy merchants would find it difficult to train such life-and-death awareness assassins, even with enough money. Yang Ruoqing noticed from the report that these three swordsmen used butterfly hidden weapon techniques, which were quite different from the common methods used by Daqi.
“These assassins' swordsmanship is more like a kind of knife technique, with fierce and vicious strikes, tricky angles, and ferocity. Their butterfly concealed weapons are also similar, with unique and peculiar techniques.”
Hongxiu pursed her lips. She had already removed her disguise, revealing a face as white and delicate as jade. Her ponytail was casually tied back with a red string—a result of her not bothering to style her hair much when using the art of disguise.
"Madam, I suspect these people are connected to the Orientals." Hongxiu hesitated for a moment before finally giving her conclusion.
“A person from East Asia going out to a foreign country That’s quite possible. They produce lots of assassins, many samurai with their minds warped.”
Yang Ruqing looked up thoughtfully. This person who came from a foreign country in the East seemed to have similarities with someone from an island nation in the Pacific Ocean in her past life.
All of them are so bloody and cruel, not only to others but also to themselves. They are extremely ruthless.
“Could this be a hit ordered by our competitors to take out Han Feiyu” Yang Ruqing asked.
"It's not necessarily that our competitors did it themselves. It might be someone else hiding behind the scenes. We don't have enough evidence yet, and we haven't caught their trace." Hongxiu said.
Yang Ruqing stood up, raised her sleeve, revealing a slender white arm, her eyes flashing with cold light, and said coldly: “No matter who is hiding behind the scenes, no matter how powerful they are, I will eradicate them completely.”
"My lady, our troops are now fully trained. We can finally get to them. Han Feiyu's maritime routes would be a perfect entry point."
"Controlling 80% of inland waterways, the hidden forces behind it are becoming increasingly apparent, with their tracks becoming heavier. They are not far from being completely exposed."
Yang Ruqing discovered that clues were coming from all directions, each one useful. At first glance, they seemed chaotic and disorganized. But as she gathered more, it felt like a rope was forming, connecting the clues into a single thread.

"Hongxiu, you are still in charge of Han Feiyuyu's safety. You can't let her have any problems, especially be careful about poisons and venomous insects." Yang Ruqing reminded after thinking for a moment.
“Rest assured, madam. Jade and I have learned some simple inspection methods, and every meal will be tasted for poison.” Hongxiu said.
Yang Ruohui nodded, these were all arranged properly, she didn't have much to worry about. She was waiting for the results from Xingyun over there, and also how the two grand masters, Guangji and Guangda, were doing.
On the master's side, it is currently An He who is in charge.
An Khe is one of the four major assistants under Xingyun. He is quick-witted, and on the surface, his identity is that of a wealthy second generation who enjoys eating, drinking, playing, and having fun. Few people know An Khe's true identity besides a handful.
So he's very discreet and safe over there at the moment.
Now, it all depends on that clue about the fallen star. Something seems fishy there. If it weren't for the fact that Crown Prince Qi Xingming himself brought it up, Yang Ruohua probably wouldn't have paid much attention to it.
"Then I'll go to the Feiyu Gang, Madam. If anything happens, just have a dark guard inform me." After Hongxiu curtsied, she turned and left.
