Sister Han is good at farming

What is the purpose of Chapter 247?

Standing on the third floor of the City Lord's Mansion, Ruan Qingqing looked at the adobe houses that had sprung up in the distance, replacing the original thatched houses, and she couldn't help but feel happy. With adobe houses and adobe beds, everyone should be able to have a warm winter this year!

She looked from the adobe house to the farther south again, and the autumn wind made her clothes rustle.

Is everything going well there?

"Chase!"

The response she received was a slightly chilly rustling sound.

"Chase!"

"Big man, what do you want from Chase? I don't think I've seen him recently."

At the stairs, Yue Linlang's footsteps made the wooden stairs clatter.

Ruan Qingqing frowned, "He should have been waiting by my side today, and he never mentioned to me before which of you he needed to exchange with. How come he disappeared for no reason?"

Since the wheat harvest, the situation has become increasingly tense. Zhuge Hong and others suggested that Ruan Qingqing should be accompanied by someone every day, and Wushang, Cai Si, Zhuge Hong, Lu Dunren, and Yue Linlang took turns to guard her.

Yue Linlang lowered her brows and thought for a while, "It seems that since the last meeting of our hall masters, Chase has been absent-minded. I wonder if he also has family in Yunqing?"

Ruan Qingqing shook her head. "He was a secret guard before. Logically, he has no family or has long forgotten his family. He has disappeared at this time..."

Her expression suddenly changed, and she asked Yue Linlang anxiously, "Linlang, when was the last time you saw Chase?"

Yue Linlang was frightened by her anxious look at the moment, "Juzi, is there something wrong? The last time I saw him was five days ago."

"Let's go check and see if your guys' fast horses are still there?" Ruan Qingqing said as she walked downstairs.

Yue Linlang seemed to think of something, and her pupils shrank suddenly, "Could that guy Chase have gone to tip off someone?"

She didn't even bother to take the stairs and jumped out from the upstairs. She landed after a few leaps and ran quickly to the stable.

When Yue Linlang saw the only horse standing alone in the stable, her heart sank and she sat down on the ground. "It's over! It's all over now!"

The horse was very excited when it saw Yue Linlang, and kept snorting at her affectionately. But after not seeing Yue Linlang stroke its mane for a long time, it immediately became unhappy, raised its two front hooves, and neighed loudly.

"Are all the horses in Linlang's stables?" Ruan Qingqing arrived following the sound of horses neighing.

When Ruan Qingqing saw the situation in the stable, her heart suddenly jumped, "Why is your Changfeng the only one here?"

Yue Linlang looked at Ruan Qingqing with a sad face, "Master, will Chase go and tell the news?"

Ruan Qingqing only felt her heart beating very fast at this moment, "Whether it is true or not, we must find a way to stop it quickly and minimize the harm."

“But Mr. Shi and Wushang have been in Yunqing for seven or eight days.” Yue Linlang was about to cry.

"Don't scare yourself first. Let's pay close attention to the news from Yun Qing before making plans for the next step. Fortunately, apart from the assassination, we haven't really taken the next step. There is still time to save everything!" Ruan Qingqing held down her heart that was almost jumping out of her throat.

Suddenly she remembered the time when Chase swore to follow her: "From now on, I, Chase, will no longer be Yunqing Murong's secret guard, but Miss Ruan's bodyguard!"

It seemed that he was only expressing his feelings, without any promise or oath involved.

Did he intend from the beginning to follow me as an undercover agent?

Why did I believe him and accept him so quickly? Why didn't I have any doubts at all?

I remember that when I drove him away, it was Yue Linlang who spoke well of him.

It was said that he led me away from danger, and when someone shouted at him to kill me, he refused. It was said that he led us to hide from the pursuit.

Come to think of it, I did ask him why he followed me.

"Miss Ruan is a true righteous person. I, Chase, am willing to follow her!"

Chase's reasons seemed to be very important to Zhuge Hong. However, since Zhuge Hong changed the subject at that time, Chase didn't think much about it.

What Ruan Qingqing couldn't understand was that since Chase was an undercover sent by the emperor, what did the emperor want?

If Chase wanted to kill me, why didn't he just save me in the first place?

If he was greedy for other things, why did the emperor want to put himself to death?

Everything is so contradictory!

"Master, what should we do now?" Yue Linlang asked as he got up.

"Let's wait and see! Apart from this, it is not appropriate for us to take any action." Ruan Qingqing said.

"Then what about your family, Mr. Shi, and Wushang?" Yue Linlang asked worriedly.

"My family doesn't need to worry for now. As long as Emperor Yunqing has something in mind for me, he shouldn't touch them. As for Shi Lao and Wu Shang, I told them before they set out to act according to circumstances and evacuate immediately if the timing is not right."

Ruan Qingqing lowered her head in frustration. "If I fail this time, it will be hard to find such a good opportunity next time."

"It's okay, there will definitely be another chance next time!"

Yue Linlang's words did not comfort Ruan Qingqing, but instead made her fall into deeper thought.

He was not very good at controlling his subordinates. For example, Shen Zhizui, whom Zhou Zheng mentioned earlier, had helped him raise food several times.

She had never heard of this before. She owed someone a favor for no apparent reason, but she didn't even know it.

As for Chase's abnormality this time, I didn't notice the clues until the last minute.

Why does this happen?

Did I trust them too much?

Are they overly results-focused and fail to understand the process of how well they accomplish their tasks?

Maybe both?

Maybe I think too simply about human nature, especially the people around me.

Ruan Qingqing took a deep breath and said to Yue Linlang, "Linlang, go and take care of your own things first! I have something to discuss with Master Zhou."

"Oh, okay!" Yue Linlang nodded woodenly.

When Ruan Qingqing saw Zhou Zheng, her first words were, "Master Zhou, the operation has been cancelled. There may be a traitor on our side."

Zhou Zheng frowned, "Who? Why are you so careless?"

"Chase, the former leader of Yunqing's Royal Secret Guards!"

"Hiss, the leader of the Royal Secret Guard, Chase?" Zhou Zheng's expression immediately became serious. "There has never been a secret guard who rebelled, let alone the leader of the secret guard. The leaders of the secret guards of all generations have been with the emperor since they were young, and they are familiar with and understand all the joys and sorrows of the emperor. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the emperor's right-hand men, especially when dealing with some things that are not easy to see in the light. How dare you accept such a person to defect?"

Zhou Zheng asked.

"At the time, I felt that I had nothing worth the other party's interest in. Besides, the emperor wanted to kill me, and I was saved by Chase. So I didn't think about going undercover."
