Chapter 486 Discovering clues
Inside the Chu camp, Jun Moyuan, Lu Tingyan, Lu Tianhao, Mu Yanyu, General Zhao and others were sitting together discussing their plans.
Jun Moyuan looked solemn and spoke first, "Last night, County Master Lu and I went to the enemy camp to gather information. Liang State was not sincere in seeking peace."
Mu Yanyu was surprised and asked hurriedly, "Your Highness, are you serious?"
Lu Tingyan frowned slightly and said seriously: "General Mu, this is what Your Highness and I heard with our own ears, it is absolutely not false."
General Zhao was so angry that he slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Damn it, how dare you lie to us!"
Lu Tianhao crossed his arms and said with a determined look: "Since the enemy is pretending to seek peace, let's catch them in the jar."
Mu Yanyu nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Although this plan is brilliant, we still need to think about it carefully to ensure that it is foolproof. After all, the enemy is cunning, and we must not take it lightly."
Lu Tianhao said: "General Mu is right. We need to make careful arrangements and not give the enemy any chance to take advantage."
Jun Moyuan looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, let's discuss the specific battle plan together."
Everyone nodded with serious expressions, and a counterattack strategy against Liang State's conspiracy began.
In order to investigate the case, the Fourth Prince and Suifeng went out to gather information without any hesitation.
They went door to door asking nearby villagers, but most of them said they didn't know the situation.
Until they arrived at the last house, the Fourth Prince knocked on the door and asked expectantly.
A gray-haired old man opened the door, and the Fourth Prince hurriedly explained his purpose.
The old man thought for a moment and then said, "There was a caravan that came to our place to rest that night, and one of the caravan members was seriously injured. But I don't know if it has anything to do with what you said."
A hint of surprise flashed in the fourth prince's eyes, and he asked anxiously, "Where did they go?"
The old man raised his hand and pointed in a direction, saying, "Heading towards Mocheng."
The fourth prince clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, uncle. Sorry for bothering you."
After saying that, the Fourth Prince and Suifeng returned to the post station.
Along the way, the Fourth Prince frowned, secretly pondering the connection between the caravan and the case.
Suifeng followed closely beside him and said solemnly, "Your Highness, in my opinion, this caravan is indeed a bit suspicious! Maybe we can find crucial clues from them."
The Fourth Prince nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Suifeng. He responded thoughtfully, "Yes, that's true. Maybe it was someone in this caravan who first discovered and saved the only survivor."
Suifeng then expressed his own opinion: "Your Highness, think about it, under normal circumstances, if an ordinary caravan encounters such a dangerous situation, they will definitely choose to avoid it as soon as possible to protect themselves. However, this caravan did the opposite. Not only did they not escape, but they also rescued people. Such behavior is really puzzling."
The Fourth Prince nodded in agreement and said, "Suifeng, your analysis is very reasonable. Although this caravan seems to be full of doubts, it is undeniable that they may be the only clue to solve the mystery for us at the moment. No matter what, we must try our best to obtain useful information from them."
Sui Feng bowed and said, "Your Highness, how are we going to find this caravan when we get to Mo City? Mo City is not big, but it is not small either. It may not be easy to find them."
The fourth prince looked determined and said, "Let's go to the inns in the city and ask around. Caravans will most likely choose these places to rest. Also, we can ask the merchants and the people in the city. There is strength in numbers, so there will always be clues."
Sui Feng nodded and said, "Your Highness is wise. I will do as you say."
The two rode at full speed and soon arrived at Mo City.
They first arrived at a busy inn, and the fourth prince asked the innkeeper, "Innkeeper, has a caravan been resting here recently? One of the caravan members was seriously injured."
The shopkeeper thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Sir, I haven't noticed it."
The Fourth Prince and Suifeng asked several inns in succession, but to no avail.
The fourth prince frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "Suifeng, let's go back to the post station first." His eyes were looking into the distance, as if he was thinking about something important.
Sui Feng nodded respectfully and responded, "Your Highness is right. But in my opinion, since the caravan has arrived in Mo City, and the man is seriously injured and needs to recover, he is very likely in this city. But... maybe he will seek help from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
After hearing this, a trace of doubt flashed in the Fourth Prince's eyes, and he murmured softly: "Well, what you said makes sense. Tomorrow morning, I will go to visit my brother in person and find out the situation first." After that, he turned and walked towards the direction of the post station, his steps seemed a little heavy.
