Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 604

Everyone hurried to keep up with Yun Shang and went down the mountain. The road was slippery and Yun Shang was on the verge of collapsing several times, held up by Qian Liu and Qian Zhuo.

When they reached the mountain foot, it was already dawn and the road ahead was already very flat. Qian Liu and Qian Zhuo were relieved and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with the Jin city?"

Yun Shang frowned all the way. Hearing Qian Zhuo's question, she said in a low voice, "near the peak of the mountain in the south of Mount Kirin is the Qian Fo Temple. I should have been more careful. I didn't ask anyone to control the monk in the Qian Fo Temple in the first place. When we occupied the top of the mountain, the last guard lit up all the tents. In order to warn the other seven places, the soldiers who fought recklessly the last minute proceeded to the southeast. There might also be people of the eldest princess of the Qian Fo Temple, and even in the Qian city. As for the fire in the mountain, it was reported to a spy of the eldest princess. The spy must have arrived at Jin city that night and reported the situation here to the eldest princess."

Qian Zhuo still didn't understand why Yun Shang said that, "Your Highness, the eldest princess will know it sooner or later. Didn't your highness say that if we all take all the hidden soldiers of the eldest princess, the eldest princess will have no way to retreat and can only become a rat in the net, being caught by us?"

"Yes, she will have no way back, but if we want her to be a rat in the net, we have to set the net up as early as possible. Otherwise, if her messenger got into the Jin City before us and informed her of the current situation, she would surely make the final struggle. She will have no choice but to kill the emperor and seize the throne in the presence of all the civil and military officials and thousands of people!" Yun Shang looked pale, perhaps due to coldness or fear.

Qian Liu and Qian Zhuo were also surprised. They were silent for a while before Qian Liu said, "Your Highness, what you mean is that we only need to get ahead of the eldest princess and make preparations before her spy arrives at the Jin city. So we can prevent the thing from happening."

Yun Shang bit her lips and said, "we should not only arrive at the Jin city first, we should also intercept the spy from the eldest princess. Tell the imperial guards in the Jin city to get ready."

Qian Liu bit her lip as if thinking of something. After a while, she turned around and knelt down before Yun Shang, "Your Highness, please send me the token of the imperial guards, and let me finish this task. The imperial guards' token is very important. I know that. I promise I will protect the token with my life."

Yun Shang stopped and looked at Qian Liu. After a long silence, she nodded her head. "Okay. I'll arrange ten secret guards for you. Three guards are faster than you. They will arrive at every town in advance and prepare food and horses for you. The four secret guards will follow you and protect you and the imperial guards' token. The other three secret guards along the way will look for the spy of the eldest princess and wait for an opportunity to kill him."

Qian Liu nodded. Yun Shang continued, "I'll give you my token as Lady Rui as well. After you return to the Jin City, you go to the Lord Hua Guo's mansion and find Lord Hua Guo. You need to make this clear to him. You also need to give the imperial guards' token to him and ask him to send the imperial guards to find the whereabouts of his majesty."

Qian Liu said yes to each of them. Yun Shang sighed slightly and handed the imperial guards' token and her own token to Qian Liu. "I know you are worried about my health and don't want me to take risks. I'll remember this favor."
