Chapter 221 They are coming
Forget it, I won’t make excuses for this inn. The location is indeed a bit deserted, but fortunately the food they cook is not bad.
Perhaps this is why this inn can be opened here.
[Host, host, the system has detected important information for you. There are thirteen princes in the Karl Empire. Among them, Lan Heng Guangster remains neutral, but has been missing for three days.]
This prince...did he disappear on his own initiative, or was he forced to disappear?
Su Mohui didn't know, but if you think about it carefully, it is very likely that he disappeared on his own initiative.
This was not just her random thoughts. She was looking at the simple character information provided by the system and thinking about it.
This Lan Xuan is the fourth child. His mother is the one that Emperor Karl values the most. His maternal family also has a certain amount of power. He himself is also smart and clever.
But being born into a royal family, being too smart can sometimes be a bad thing.
So there is one thing, Su Mohui felt that this Lan Xuan was done in a straightforward manner.
In my personal experience, the system gave me only one record, which said that Lan Xuan was only one and a half years old when he first learned to read. He called out "Father" and "Mother" with joy.
But his mother taught him that no matter what happened, he needed to hide his edge and not be the first to stand out.
After all, the second prince born to the queen could read at the age of two, which made people think that this child was quite talented. Once when he had a cold and fever and went to see the imperial physician, he was inexplicably delayed for most of the day.
In the end, the second prince was burned to death, and Emperor Karl was only sad for a few days and then stopped caring about him.
So it was not until he was over three years old that little Lanxuan uttered the first complete word "Father".
Based on this incident, Su Mohui judged that it was most likely that Lan Xuan disappeared on his own initiative, but there might also be some manipulation by other princes.
As she thought this, Qi Mo and the other two ate their meal while listening to what the big men said.
It was not until the sound of horse hooves could be heard outside the inn that they regained half of their composure.
There were not many tables of guests dining in the inn to begin with. Including the two tables of Su Mohui and Zhang Yi, there were only four tables of guests dining in total.
At this moment, the people at the other two tables were curious about the noise coming from outside the house, and they all stretched their necks unconsciously, wanting to see something.
However, at Zhang Yi's table, a person who had been silent all this time could no longer hold back. He walked over to the creaking door and stuck his head out to look.
The table where Su Mohui and the others were sitting was right next to the window, and Xuanyuan Shaoze could see what was happening outside the inn just by turning his head.
It was likely that a large army was coming, he thought, and turned his gaze to the window.
Unexpectedly, he made eye contact with the major general in the lead. Their eyes met, and in just one second, he turned his head away.
"Is this enough? If not, add some more." He picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it.
Although he was a prince and had been eating delicacies from land and sea since he was a child, he was sometimes chased around the country by people from the Xipan Church and had eaten food even worse than this, so he was not picky.
Shen Jiaan had just put down his chopsticks when his eyes lit up again when he heard this. "I think their buns are good. Give me some more. You can take some away if you can't finish them."
Qi Mo laughed and called the waiter to bring two more baskets of buns.
There are only six in a basket, but they are as big as my palm and Shen Jiaan has a big appetite, so he can eat as much as he wants.
They did notice the movement outside, but they just glanced at the large group of people passing by tacitly and then got busy with the things at hand.
But the four of them all had the same idea in their minds: since they were here, they would probably meet later.
"Boss, the group of people outside are from the Luoshen Empire. I saw the flag on their carriage..." The big man lowered his voice and whispered in Zhang Yi's ear.
Zhang Yi naturally noticed the commotion outside and frowned even more, but he didn't say anything. "Eat like you're eating. Let's eat first and talk about other things later."
Shen Jia'an finally got the buns he had been longing for and was enjoying his meal when he noticed Su Mohui looking thoughtful.
Xuanyuan Shaoze was also thinking about something, and his hand unconsciously clenched the cup.
It was not until Qi Mo packed a basket of buns that they looked up. After just one glance at each other, they saw a smile on Su Mohui's face.
"Let's go." She spoke first, pulling Shen Jiaan up and walking towards the door.
The main group had passed by for quite some time, and their movement at this time did not attract anyone's attention. They just thought they were ready to continue their journey after eating and drinking.
The four of them moved in the direction of the main force, turning their heads from time to time to see if anyone was following them.
Fortunately, the journey went smoothly and they quickly caught up with the main force.
"Greetings, Your Majesty..." The leading major general was about to dismount and salute the newcomer when he saw Xuanyuan Shaoze's gesture. He lowered his voice and said, "Sir, you are here."
Xuanyuan Shaoze nodded, walked a little further away, and asked the major general to come over and talk.
Su Mohui also noticed Ren Siyuan and Sun Fan in the team at this time, and nodded to them with a smile.
Just then, the major general turned around and gave the order to the main force, "Everyone, rest where you are and continue your march after a cup of tea."
The two men quickly dismounted and came in front of Su Mohui and the other two, bowing slightly, "Greetings, my Lords."
The major general said that when you are out, you should keep a low profile as much as possible.
Now that Su Mohui was disguised as a man again, it was not convenient for them to shout "Miss Su", so they just followed the major general's way of calling her.
Su Mohui first praised them and then got straight to the point: "We just met a few people at the inn..."
She briefly recounted the story of Zhang Yi and his group, then stated her own plan: "If you encounter them on the road, don't make a fuss yet. Wait for the Major General's instructions before proceeding."
As she spoke, she looked towards where Xuanyuan Shaoze was, only to see him nod at her before she continued.
"Besides that, you also need to pay special attention to a slightly tall man with two moles on the back of his hand. If you encounter him, help him as much as possible..."
That’s right, Su Mohui was talking about Lanxuan Guangster. The information provided by the system also mentioned his last appearance, which was on the edge of the Karl Empire.
When a prince who is alone outside encounters the large army of the Luoshen Empire who comes to receive the letter of surrender, there should... be some sparks, right?
She thought so, but considering that Qi Mo was introducing his own voice stone to them, she didn't say anything.
Until Xuanyuan Shaoze took out a few things and handed them to the major general, they waved goodbye to Ren Siyuan and left the range of the main force.
Xuanyuan Shaoze looked at the smile on the little girl's face, but did not expose her little thoughts. He gave her a few more serious instructions before leaving with the three of them.
In this way, the route of the large force will deviate from the original plan and be changed to another route.
Just as Su Mohui thought, if they took this route, their chances of meeting Lan Xuan Guangster would be greatly increased.
As for Zhang Yi and his people...
