Chapter 1734: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1734: Impressive
the County Magistrate chimed in, "Yes, yes, Prefect Lu Xiang, you should trust General Huang."
Shu Yu furrowed her brow and asked General Huang, "Are you really not going to lend them?"
General Huang maintained a friendly attitude but remained firm in his tone. "I can't lend them."
"Don't regret it," Shu Yu retorted.
She glared fiercely at the others present, her anger evident. "None of you better regret this either."
After her outburst, she stormed out in frustration.
She headed straight for the Meng Family Escort Bureau. After walking a street, she noticed a familiar set of footsteps behind her.
Shu Yu turned and entered an alley. As expected, not long after, Xia Yi appeared.
Xia Yi looked around cautiously before stepping closer to Shu Yu. She asked with confusion, "What was that performance just now?"
Suddenly showing up so ostentatiously, throwing a tantrum, and then leaving again?
Shu Yu rubbed her forehead. "I had no choice. There's an insider with General Huang, and time is tight. I can't wait for him to come find us." What if General Huang couldn't break free in time and the insider came to help them? How would they handle that?
Xia Yi frowned. "I understand. Did you convey all our information to General Huang?"
"Yes, I wrote a letter and slipped it to him discreetly."
"That's good."
At that moment, General Huang had come up with an excuse to leave. His attendants had intended to follow, but Shu Yu's whispered warning to be cautious of those around him made him wary. He claimed he needed to visit the restroom and dismissed his attendants.
When the coast was clear, he read the letter Shu Yu had given him.
The first sentence Shu Yu had written revealed the identity of the insider, causing General Huang's expression to darken instantly.
He hadn't expected that the attendant by his side, while not particularly close to him, had earned his respect due to some impressive actions. General Huang had intended to give him some challenges to improve him. Who would have thought he was a traitor?
Continuing to read, he quickly learned about the capture of the Black Market by Meng Yunzheng and his group. He couldn't help but smile.
This lad had silently achieved something significant.
No wonder the Emperor had always regretted that he didn't join the imperial court. With such capabilities, not helping the Emperor was indeed a significant loss.
General Huang now felt fortunate that Meng Yunzheng's hometown was in Chenggu County. Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a powerful ally.
As he read on, his eyes brightened. Not only did Meng Yunzheng manage to take over the Black Market, but he also intended to take over the entire Chenggu County??
Well, with his capabilities, he could lend a hand.
The letter also mentioned that these rebels were planning to attack the neighboring county in the next two days, and Qi Lie would likely be involved. This might be of help to him. The letter also highlighted their possession of evidence against the County Magistrate.
General Huang's expression grew more serious. Second Prince and Third Prince deserved divine punishment. Not only had they caused trouble in Chenggu County, but they were also planning to harm innocent civilians?
After finishing the letter, General Huang used a match to burn it before exiting the restroom.
Back in the main hall, the County Magistrate came forward, smiling. "General, Lu Xiangjun is just a rural woman who doesn't understand any rules. She's taken herself too seriously after becoming a village lord. You don't need to take her words to heart. I've prepared good food and wine. Please, General, have a seat."
General Huang waved his hand. "No need. Until the bandits are dealt with, the people won't have peace. I won't stay here any longer; I'm leaving now."
