Chapter 698: Chapter 708: On the Mettle of Women

Yuwen Luanfei was taken aback, coming to a new understanding of the world.

"So it turns out, aside from women, eunuchs also cannot be trusted, huh."

...

Just like that, the large-scale excavation work began.

Although Bai Junjun wanted to reveal that Eunuch Zou had also been studying military equipment—after all, she had seen many military drafts at Eunuch Zou’s residence—

if she told Yuwen Luanfei, the affairs of His Majesty would be exposed.

In the chaotic times of today, books like Affairs of His Majesty, which assist the emperor, are like the Dragon-slaying Treasure Blade, coveted by everyone.

But it was not the original intention of the Mohists for any royal power to obtain this book, so Bai Junjun had no choice but to remove all traces leading to the Affairs of His Majesty.

As long as the other princes remain unaware, she can later retrieve the book with the help of Yuwen Jun.

It’s better than all the princes knowing about it and everyone trying to snatch the book!

The little schemes within Bai Junjun’s mind were unknown to Yuwen Luanfei.

Speaking strictly, he also had his own plans.

Although Yuwen Luanfei would buy information from Thousand Miles, that place is not truly his own, and since it could provide him with information, naturally it might do the same for others. For such organization that only recognizes money, Yuwen Luanfei truly wished it did not exist.

It’s just that Thousand Miles is too well-hidden for him to have the time to deal with it.

Now, Bai Junjun and Li Wenli had essentially helped him solve a big problem.

Yuwen Luanfei only wanted to recruit them under his command.

However, at this time Yuwen Jun also knew not to rush things.

While he needed to stay here and supervise his subordinates in cleaning up the aftermath, Bai Junjun and Li Wenli took their leave first.

After all, they still needed to figure out where Eunuch Zou had gone!

Speaking of which, although their Special Abilities were formidable, they were unable to precisely locate a dead person.

Now, the two could only rely on their wits to solve the problem.

Upon returning to the Imperial Capital City, they found the entire Capital City was under martial law; the entire city was in lockdown with entry permitted but no exit allowed, unless one had a permit from the Government, otherwise one would be treated as a spy.

At this time, Yuwen Luanfei was still at Famous Scholar Mountain supervising the excavation, and it was clear that this order had been issued by Wenren Pingting.

It must be said that Wenren Pingting really had the courage to control the Imperial Capital with the speed of lightning catching one’s ears unguarded.

However, her actions were indeed correct.

Because no one knew just how many undercover agents Thousand Miles had in the Imperial Capital; without promptly sealing the city gates, the information could very well be taken out by someone.

Speaking of these informants from Thousand Miles, wasn’t Dongsheng Tavern one of the biggest ones?

Glancing at each other, they both saw confirmation in the other’s eyes.

Having been in the Imperial Capital for so long, they had yet to visit Dongsheng Tavern here; they were also curious about how the business of Shopkeeper Yan’s Imperial Capital branch was doing and what the food was like.

With that thought, they no longer hesitated, boldly making their way there.

...

Dongsheng Tavern was located in the most bustling area of the Imperial Capital City.

At that moment, the tavern was packed with noisy patrons, all of them spitting stars as they discussed something or other.

Bai Junjun and Li Wenli naturally blended into the crowd of the inn, listening in on the gossip.

"I heard that some rebel soldiers have secretly infiltrated us these last few days."

"Rebels? Can it be? Didn’t all of Prince Heqing’s descendants die out? Where did these rebels come from?"

"Ptui ptui, what are you talking about that condemned man for at a time like this?"

"Well, if you talk about rebels, it’s only Prince Heqing, right?"

Hearing this, Bai Junjun couldn’t help but question the people nearby, "Why is it only Prince Heqing who is considered a rebel? What about the other princes?"

"They’re naturally the Royal Family’s forces, they fight for justice."

"For what kind of justice?" Bai Junjun asked again.
