But what did he want to negotiate with her about using Qian Zhuo as a hostage?
It must be not just to save his life.
After all, if he just wanted to save his life, he could take advantage of this period of time to escape directly.
Not for saving his own life, but for the Cao clan? Now, the money of the Cao clan had all been given to Xia Houjing for stirring up the rebellion. When the news that the Cao clan had failed to rebel with Xia Houjing spread, the other clans in the city would definitely stay away from the Cao clan, and the wives and servants of the Cao clan would also run away in a hurry.
In the end, the Cao Mansion would be an empty estate.
Even if it was an empty estate, Yun Shang would try her best to take it back.
After all, there were so many victims of the avalanche in Qi Mountain. The property of the Cao clan could be turned into cash for disaster relief.
Yun Shang tapped her fingers on the table, wondering why Cao Han did this.
Although she didn't think the chances of Cao Han leaving the Jin City with his family and Qian Zhuo were very high, for the sake of caution, Yun Shang still ordered the secret guards, "The city has just undergone a rebellion and is in a great mess. Cao Han is hiding in the city. I'm afraid it's not easy to find them. Arrange some secret guards to watch around the city gates to see if there is anyone suspicious leaving the city. Those who left the Jin City must be carefully investigated one by one."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Yun Shang bit her lips. Unfortunately, Qian Zhuo lost her memory because of the poison. Otherwise, she would be able to try every means to send messages to her.
"Your Highness!" A servant hurried in.
Yun Shang frowned, "Why are you in such a hurry? Is there anything wrong?"
"Your Highness, Ning Qian and Qian Yin want to see you."
Yun Shang raised her eyes. Ning Qian and Qian Yin?
Yun Shang turned to look out of the window. It was completely dark outside. Why did they come here?
"Invite them in."
Ning Qian and Qian Yin walked in quickly and bowed to Yun Shang. Before Yun Shang said anything, they said, "My lady, We've got some news about Qian Zhuo."
Yun Shang was surprised. "You have news about Qian Zhuo?
Today, I sent my secret guards to the Cao Mansion for rescue. Just now, I learned that Qian Zhuo was taken away by Cao Han. I barely know Cao Han. He has suffered a lot in the Cao Mansion, and he is very tolerant. If he wants to take Qian Zhuo away, he wouldn't leave many clues. The secret guards haven't got any news yet. Where did you get the news?"
Ning Qian and Qian Yin looked at each other and said, "Cao Han is indeed a cautious man. When he left the Cao Mansion with Qian Zhuo, he only brought two servants who he trusted very much with him. And he made sure that they were not imposters disguised by someone else.
It's just that in order to try every means to save Qian Zhuo, we have asked our people arranged in the Cao Mansion to do something to Qian Zhuo in advance.
