Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1416

Yun Shang was deaf and dumb, so it was not appropriate for her to check what had happened.

Two secret guards walked over together. Yun Shang vaguely heard the voice over there. After a while, the secret guards came back. "The leader of the trade group said that some of their servants stole the goods in the trade group and planned to run back with the goods they've stolen while they haven't gone far in the desert."

"They have stolen goods?"

"It should be just an excuse to cover up the truth. I have acute ears. I heard that someone in the trade group was whispering that the servant hooked up with the supervisor's concubine and the two eloped."

Yun Shang frowned, picked up a stick and wrote, "Did they run away?"

"They ran away, but the supervisor has sent someone to chase them." The secret guard whispered, "I guess they think people will be less vigilant in the desert. Besides, we've just entered the desert today and haven't gone far. It's easier to run back."

Yun Shang shook her head and wrote quickly, "Send a secret guard to chase them. Either deal with them in secret, or find the place where our people are hidden and lock them up."

Liu Man looked up at Yun Shang, lost in thought. She lowered her voice and said, "Your Majesty, are you afraid that the stealing and elope are both fake? Or there is something wrong with the whole trade group and we have revealed our identity, or they have recognized Your Majesty and secretly sent someone away to report?"

Yun Shang nodded, and said coldly and harshly, "In this critical period, I'd rather kill one thousand by mistake than let one go. You send a signal to our men in front of them tomorrow to let them know about it. Then we find an excuse to separate from them. Then we ask our people to keep an eye on them. If there is anything unusual, then..."

Yun Shang raised her hand and made a gesture on her neck.

But if it was as she expected, she really didn't know how they had revealed their identity.

With a serious look on his face, Liu Man said, "I see."

After a pause, he continued, "How about I ask someone to put some knockout drops on them? We will only put a few knockout drops. We'll leave tomorrow morning and walk ahead."

Yun Shang thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

There was still a noise over there, and the secret guard went to inquire about it again. "They said they had run far away, and the people they sent didn't catch up. It's very dangerous in the middle of the night in the desert. They didn't dare to chase further, so they have to come back.

The supervisor said that wolves were hiding somewhere in the desert in the middle of the night. There were not only wolves, but also snakes and scorpions. Even if they escaped, they might not be able to walk out alive."

Yun Shang nodded. As she expected, they wouldn't bring him back. If they did, how could they send a message?

It was late at night, and the sound over there gradually faded away. After a while, the desert quieted down again.

After making a gesture to Yun Shang, Liu man quickly disappeared from where he stood. Not long after, Liu man came back and ordered everyone to pack up and prepare to go on their journey.

The sky was faintly white. The secret guards were well-trained, and they quickly packed up their things and set off.

They changed their positions with the trade group disguised by the secret guards in front of them, and surpassed two more trade groups. At noon, they stopped and rested.

"The trade team led by Liu Meng fell behind on purpose and got close to that trade group. That trade group really came to inquire about us. After Liu Meng secretly inquired about it, the supervisor of the trade group said that they suspected that we were spies from the State of Xia. They were afraid that we were going to inquire about the situation of the Wu Er'he City and take the opportunity to attack, so they sent someone to report..."

Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, "They suspect that we are spies from the State of Xia? Why does he suspect that?"

"It's said that the gold ornaments on our waistband are placed in the wrong direction. In the State of Yelang, the gold ornaments of ordinary people should be on the left side of the waistband, and only the gold ornaments of a specific kind of people are placed on the right side of the waistband."
