"I have prepared three paths in total, just in case. I've kept all the information about the towns and cities around the three paths in my mind, including the information about the officials and the wealthy merchants. I have recorded all the spies where I have to go through.
In case of any change during the journey, I have chosen an absolutely reliable spy in every place and told them the time when I may possibly pass through that place. Whether I will pass by that definite place or not, they should deliver the news to your majesty after the time I have set. In this way, no matter what happens, your majesty will be able to know my situation and my whereabouts.
I've also arranged well in the imperial capital city of the State of Yelang. I have specially arranged six or seven spies in different places there, and they do not know one another. I will choose one of the places to settle down according to the situation then.
I have prepared all the medicinal materials and things I need in advance. There is a set of them in each place along the way. The herbs are ordinary ones and haven't been refined into poison. I have to refine them after I get there.
Almost all my belongings have been specially handled. There are all kinds of self-defense items. In addition to those being with on the way, I will also apply a layer of poisonous nail polish on my nails in case of any emergency," reported Yun Shang.
While hearing these, Luo Qingyan lowered his head but said nothing.
He found she was really well prepared. She had thought of everything, including what he didn't expect.
After finishing reporting, Yun Shang looked up at Luo Qingyan and asked, "Do you think I still have anything else to prepare?"
Luo Qingyan shook his head, "You've arranged it very carefully."
"Of course." A hint of complacency flashed through Yun Shang's eyes, "I have promised you that I will try my best to make sure that I will come back safe and sound this time."
"Okay." Luo Qingyan nodded, "And not a hair can be lost from you."
Yun Shang couldn't help laughing, "That's impossible. Everyone has to lose some hair. That is a natural rule, and I can't control it."
"Okay, then you are allowed to lose a few pieces of hair and nothing more than that."
Luo Qingyan meditated for a moment and then he sat up a little straight, "There are three or four spies that I have planted in the court of the State of Yelang. Come close to me and I'll tell you their names and general information. Maybe they will be helpful when you are there. "
Yun Shang wanted to say no. She was clear that Luo Qingyan must have put a lot of effort into the court of the State of Yelang. If they were not careful enough then, they would be exposed.
But she also knew that if she didn't obey him and noted them down, Luo Qingyan wouldn't rest assured.
Thus she nodded with a smile and went up to him.
She would keep these officials in mind whether she could use them or not. And she knew that she could not care whether things would be exposed or not in time of urgency.
Luo Qingyan whispered in Yun Shang's ear for a while in a voice that only both of them could hear.
"Do you remember them now?" asked Luo Qingyan.
Yun Shang nodded, "Yes. I've kept them in mind. You can test me now.
You see I have a good memory," replied Yun Shang with a smile in her eyes, "I've heard about one of the four people you mentioned. He has a high reputation in the court of the State of Yelang. I couldn't imagine that he could be your people?"
"As the saying goes, wise birds choose good places to perch and capable men choose the right leader to serve. It's just because he is smart that he owns today's status and knows who will be the real ruler in the world in the future. "
Although he was praising the official of the State of Yelang, there was a sense of complacency between the lines. Obviously, he was boasting.
Yun Shang couldn't help laughing. She then nodded, "Yes, the world will eventually belong to your majesty. That official is indeed smart and knows the result in advance, so he has found the best way for himself. "
