144. What's The Problem With You?

It was late at night.

In Han Tingxuan's room, Shadow Two was reporting.

"Sun Qiuyi is not suspicious at all. He trusts Zhang Luobing very much and likes Zhang Qiushui very much. Zhang Luobing is already a part of their plot, but only a small part. Sun Qiuyi didn't tell Sun Qiuzhong and Sun Yuan about Zhang Luobing.”

Han Tingxuan nodded. "Fire it up to speed up. Spread the news about I will head off to the State of Qi the day after tomorrow.”

"Yes!" Shadow Two accepted the order and left. However, he arranged for someone else to spread the news because his job was supposed to protect Han Tingxuan all day long.

Yun Shen and his brother, Yun Luochuan, were responsible for training talents.

And these people would be assigned to posts all over the Heavenly Empire once they completed the training. Some would blend in pharmacies, some would disguise themselves as staff in hotels, some would work as spies in some big families. They could be any sort of place with a different identity.

The Zhangs were sent to the State of Qing more than a month ago after they passed through the training.

Han Tingxuan needed them for the plan. So he made up a story for them. They then just make a story.

Not to mention Sun Qiuyi, even if Sun Qiuzhong or Sun Yuan sent someone to find out the truth of the story, they would believe it was the truth.

Of course, if Sun Yuan could dig deeper, they might have discovered something wrong.

After the Zhang brothers arrived at the State of Qing, they had not done anything special. Therefore, no one could find anything wrong with them. If they were to trace back to the background of the Zhang brothers in the City of Capital where the relationship was the most complicated. Even if the Sun family helped, they could not guarantee how accurate the information was!

Furthermore, it was already well known that Han Tingxuan often visited Bamboo Lane.

The truth was that he only occasionally went to Bamboo Lane at night and he never brought anyone back home!

Usually, after he went to Bamboo Lane, he would later sleepover at the palace.

He and Mo Yanzhi came up with this idea once Tian Yusu bought the story.

In this way, things like Nangong Yu could be avoided.

Ever since the rumors that he had been visiting Bamboo Lane were spread out, no one from the Nangong family had come to talk to him anymore. But it was not sure if they had given upon marrying Nangong Yu to him.

It was a good thing no one else disturbed him since. It meant that their plan worked, although it was impossible to keep distant from every obstacle as Prince Chen’s husband.

It was an accident that the Zhang brothers came here for a purpose.

However, Han Tingxuan decided to use these two people after a thorough investigation. Otherwise, even if they trained the brothers, no one could guarantee that there would an accident.

But if there were any accidents, the result would be devastated! When Han Tingxuan made that decision, he had to be extra careful.

Up until now, things had progressed in the best direction they expected.

Then, Han Tingxuan went to bed, but he found it difficult to fall asleep. He realized that as time passed, he missed his male wife more and more.

On the other side, Tian Yusu and Han had been in the State of Song for more than two days.

Almost as soon as they arrived here, two groups of 'mysterious people' came to loop him in!

Those two groups of mysterious people hinted that they posed a slight dissatisfaction towards Han Tingxuan and their appreciation towards Tian Yusu himself.

Just now, another group of people came to express their purpose even more directly. They kind of said that Tian Yusu should be the emperor.

After sending those weirdoes away, Tian Yusu, who stayed at an inn, seriously wondered if he should accommodate himself in the county office.

At least, there would be less trouble!

But… instead, Tian Yusu's lips slowly curved again. What Han Tingxuan had said turned out to be true. Since he was in a different place, he would attract supporters.

Regardless of whether they were sent by Sun Yuan or not, Sun Yuan's people should not be far away!

Just as Tian Yusu was thinking this, someone was knocking on the door.

"Who is it?" Tian Yusu asked directly.

"Me," Han said outside.

Tian Yusu paused, and then hurriedly opened the door. It had been days since Han ignored him that day. Why did he take the initiative to visit him?

He opened the door but Han didn't have any intention of coming in. Instead, he said directly outside, "It’s been four days. I have to go back."

The corner of Tian Yusu's mouth twitched. "Is that all you want to talk to me?”

Han said lightly, "Mmm, as the social protocol says," after saying this, Han was about to leave.

The corner of Tian Yusu's mouth was tightly pursed. When Han turned around to leave, he grabbed his arm, "Don't leave!"

Han was stunned because he didn't expect Tian Yusu to grab him directly and to say no to him. He frowned. "Why do I need your permission? I'm not at your service.”

The corner of Tian Yusu's mouth tightened into a line. He took a deep breath and tried to make him sound friendly and nice.

"Han Tingxuan has his reasons to send you here. My fellowmen are working under the secret tunnel leading to the State of Qing. Perhaps, a big thing is happening in this place too. Are you sure you don’t want to stay and take care of it?”

He was confused. "Why should I stay?"

Tian Yusu smiled bitterly. "Do you think Han Tingxuan completely believes in me? You’ve seen it very clear how many people came to meet me? What if I accept their suggestion?”

Han instantly frowned. "You can’t!"

Tian Yusu's lips slowly curved. "So, are you sure you don't want to watch me here?"

Han hesitated for a moment as if he didn't know what to make a decision. A moment later, he said unwillingly, "Fine, I'll stay."

Tian Yusu sighed with relief and felt that he was pathetic. Since when did he need to use a trick to make one stay? He was such a failure.

But he did not have a choice since the person he wanted to make stay was a young man with high martial arts, who might disappear at any time when he was mad.

As he cared about that young man, he had to be extra careful.

After Han left, Tian Yusu sighed.

At this moment, a shadow guard came over to report that he had found a trace along the east mountain of State of Song.

Tian Yusu immediately asked, "Did you find an underground tunnel?"

"I am not sure yet, but there are many traps on the east mountain of State of Song."

Traps… Tian Yusu said calmly, "Bring our people back before they discover us. I will root out the entire group this time!"

"Yes!" The secret guard accepted the order and left.

Tian Yusu thought about the next step. How could he and Han Tingxuan gather here to take out everyone after Han Tingxuan rushed the enemy to rebel?

Could Han Tingxuan succeed in the first step?

He never doubted it! Otherwise, Han Tingxuan couldn't send him here!

However, Tian Yusu had so many things to learn about the State of Song and the officials here. He could not let go of a bad one, but he could not mistake anyone good.

However, since the enemy had already recruited soldiers in the State of Song, if the governor had no idea of it, he must be a fool.

Who was the governor of the State of Song? If he remembered it correctly, it was Leng Huzhou who was neutral.

Leng Huzhou was in his forties. For many years he had been running the state, he had never made a big mistake at work.

It was a question if he remained neutral as he used to be.

With that thought, Tian Yusu decided to personally visit Leng Huzhou! And he would bring…

After thinking about it, an idea crossed over his mind. He went straight to Han’s room.

"Han, are you here?"

Han looked out of the door. Didn’t they just talk? What was he doing here again?

"What is it?"

Tian Yusu smiled slightly. "I plan to go to visit the governor here. But my fellowmen have already gone to work. I don’t have anyone to help me. Would you like to help me?”

Han thought about it and nodded, “Fine.”

After closing the door, Han and Tian Yusu walked outside. Although they stayed at an inn, they rent the entire inn. Therefore, there was no one else besides them.

The two walked out of the inn but didn't go directly to the governor. Instead, they talked on the street.

Of course, Han also noticed that when Tian Yusu bought things, he would always mention the local county officials and the governor.

In the end, he bought a lot of things, but Tian Yusu got incredible information.

Governor Leng Huzhou had been sick for more than half a month. The county leader Niu was taking over state affairs.

"He is sick." Tian Yusu squinted slightly. "Han, do you believe it?"

Han didn't answer but asked, "Are we going to see him or not?"

"We will go, but not now," Tian Yusu thought for a moment and said, "Han, let's go back today."

Han had no objections. He did not think it was a good idea to go visit the governor now either. What if governor Leng's problem, would alert the governor.

"Ok."

Tian Yusu said softly as Han agreed, "Do you want to buy some snacks outside?"

Han paused and shook his head. "No need."

Tian Yusu was a little helpless, but said, "Han, Qing Yi is just my subordinate. Do you know?"

Han asked indifferently, "What does this have to do with me?" Then he walked away.

Tian Yusu squinted and grabbed his arm. "Han, it doesn't matter? Then tell me, what is wrong with you?”

Han suddenly frowned. "What is wrong with me? There is nothing wrong with me.”

Tian Yusu said with a faint smile, "Really? Han, since the day you saw me and Qing Yi together, you've been unhappy until now, right? Have you never thought about the reason?”

Tian Yusu was extremely beautiful, and his small smile made him more charming. Han even skipped a few heartbeats, and then looked away awkwardly.

Tian Yusu pressed, "Han, I know you're avoiding me. But is this all you want?"

Han licked his lips tightly. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Tian Yusu sighed. "Han, you…"

“Your highness.” Just as Tian Yusu was about to say something, someone said in surprise. Then, a fat man ran over.

At the moment, Tian Yusu and Han had already been at the entrance of the inn, and the county leader Niu He had been waiting here!

Tian Yusu's expression became slightly cold as he saw this person and the displeasure flashed in his eyes. When he checked Han, Han disappeared.

Therefore, Tian Yusu was even more unhappy. He finally grabbed a chance to have a heart-to-heart talk with Han and things were getting better between them. But this damn county leader interrupted them.

"This is Niu He at your service.”

Tian Yusu looked at him indifferently. "I see. County leader Niu."
