Chapter 1225: Friend or Foe (5)
The guard took the Crown Prince’s token and letter and went to guard the General’s Residence. While the General’s Residence was quite heavily guarded, the guards in the palace were not to be trifled with either. After some effort, they managed to slip into Yuan Qing’s study without anyone noticing.
Yuan Qing’s eyes widened as he looked at the seal and letter in front of him. His palms were sweating, and it took him a long time to find his voice. "You’re saying that His Highness the Crown Prince and King Rong are both in the town?"
The guard nodded solemnly and said, "You should have read the Crown Prince’s letter, right? The Emperor of Great Yuan has entered Great Qi..."
"Wait a minute." Yuan Qing gulped and hurriedly touched the letter to read it again. Why didn’t he see the words ’Emperor of Great Yuan’ just now? Oh, Ogedei is here. Ogedei = Emperor of Great Yuan!
This was just a small town. Although it was a border fortress, there was no need for everyone to come here, right?
This really was just a small place!
Forehead covered in sweat, Yuan Qing wondered if it was too late to send a letter to his grandfather.
Seeing this, the guards felt some sympathy in their hearts, but it was better for everyone to share the pain. Considering the Yuan family had always been loyal, the guards unanimously felt that telling Yuan Qing was more beneficial than harmful. After all, this way, there would be another person to share the risk with, right?
Yuan Qing swallowed twice and immediately stood up to ask, "What are His Highness the Crown Prince’s intentions?"
"Control the innkeeper and assistant innkeeper they’re staying at and investigate their background. If the innkeeper and assistants are willing to cooperate, keep them. If not, think of a way to replace them quietly without attracting attention. Send someone to keep an eye on the inn and see what Ogedei and the others are up to." The guard thought for a moment and said, "I think that’s all."
