In Wei Tingyu's opinion, although Liuqi is the number one enemy of Qichao, in fact, the more noteworthy one is Xichi. Sometimes it is the one who does things silently and unexpectedly that is the most troublesome.
Although there has been no war between Qi Dynasty and Xichi in recent years and they have had regular trade relations, and seem to be in harmony and friendship, but more than 20 years ago, they fought a fierce war. Although Qi Dynasty won in the end, it was a pyrrhic victory. More than 20 years have passed, and there are still some residual influences. Not to mention the common people, few people in the entire court and local officials would think that Xichi really has no ambitions. Therefore, the garrison on the border between Qi Dynasty and Xichi is extremely strict, even when there is no war, and no slack is allowed.
Although the identities of the guards around Chu Ci have not been figured out yet, there are obviously problems with them. They are blatantly displayed to confuse people. The purpose of confusing people is to protect other people. As for who this person is and how many people there are, Wei Tingyu couldn't help but frown. He closely monitored the post station, not only the people from the Xichi delegation, but also the people from Qi Chao, from officials to servants, without exception, but still found nothing wrong.
Was it hidden too deeply, using some methods that they didn't notice, or was it nothing, deliberately putting on such a scene, just to disturb people's hearts? Wei Tingyu narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of coldness. He was destined to be suspicious of some things in his life. Even if Xichi was really so bored and made this thing to play a trick on people, he would not let down his guard.
After sorting out the things at hand again, Wei Tingyu went to look for Xiaocao again. This habit has been in place for some time.
Of course, Xiaocao also got used to him coming almost every day. Because there were so many things to do, Xiaocao could not handle it all by herself, so Wei Tingyu became her important helper. Although there were more than one helper, it was obvious that he did the best and most thoughtful job because he understood Xiaocao very well. After so many years of getting along with her, he understood not only Xiaocao's temperament, but also her thoughts. Therefore, there were some things that Xiaocao didn't need to explain clearly, he could synchronize her ideas with her. This kind of resonance in ideas naturally made people happy.
After Wei Tingyu understands Xiaocao's ideas, he communicates with other people, and things are often better than if Xiaocao does it herself. After all, as a professional, Xiaocao may lack some eloquence and even emotional intelligence.
In fact, which Xiaocao didn't know, Zhen Muyao and the others teased Wei Tingyu as Xiaocao's "good wife". Wei Tingyu didn't think there was anything wrong with this statement and accepted it very well.
It was almost curfew when Wei Tingyu sent Xiaocao home. By then, it was already completely dark.
But before they reached the Wen family, they were stopped.
"Meet Princess Anguo and Commander Wei. There was an assassination at the posthouse. Someone was seriously injured and in critical condition..."
The last four words explained why they came.
Xiaocao frowned slightly, and without saying anything, immediately asked people to turn around. Fortunately, there was basically no one around at this moment.
Wei Tingyu had a solemn look on his face. Many of his men were stationed at the posthouse, as they knew the whole story. In fact, after turning around, he found that his men had already arrived, but they did not show up depending on the situation.
Xiaocao was still asking the visitor about the condition of the injured person, but he knew nothing. He only knew that the injured person was a general of Liuqie, and he was assassinated. It seemed that he was disemboweled by a woman serving wine while having fun.
Xiaocao was very surprised after hearing this and didn't know what to say. There were obviously many doubts here.
"Xuan'er, you will know after you get there. No matter what the reason is, no matter what the consequences are, Qi Chao can handle it. Don't worry."
Xiao Cao rubbed his brows. He was actually quite tired after a busy day. "I hope so."
Such an incident should have made people anxious and worried, but Wei Tingyu felt that "the dust had settled". In his opinion, it would be unreasonable if something didn't happen this time. But who attacked Liuqi, was it Liuqi's own people, or... Xichi? In Wei Tingyu's suspicion, Qichao was not included. It was true that Qichao and Liuqi were sworn enemies, but they would not attack Liuqi at this time. Therefore, it could only be an internal problem of Liuqi people. At this time, they could eliminate dissidents and frame Qichao to achieve certain goals. Or it could be Xichi. If it was them, the purpose would naturally be simpler, just to provoke a bigger war between Qichao and Liuqi. Once Qichao was restrained by Liuqi on a large scale, Xichi would very likely do something.
However, even if the speculation is very likely, it is just speculation. Without evidence, everything is in vain.
Fortunately, all of Xiaocao's medical equipment was basically in the carriage. After she became a princess, the carriage was big enough and there were enough people, so she moved more and more things into the carriage. The maids serving her could all serve as assistants, which saved her a lot of time.
I just hope that the injuries are not as serious as expected, and that the injured are lucky enough.
