Chapter 272
The next day.
The convoy set out early in the morning.
There was no danger on the following road.
Until the border city of Da Chu.
Ying Yi and Wang Chi left the team.
Their identities were very sensitive. It was okay to enter Da Chu unknowingly, but if they were discovered by many people, it would be regarded as a provocation.
As for Li Yun, she followed the convoy.
Soon.
The convoy stopped at a restaurant of the Rong family.
Rong Xinxue's industries in Da Chu were spread across major cities in Da Chu. This was not only a place to make money, but also a place to listen to news.
As soon as she entered the restaurant, Rong Xinxue made an excuse to come to the top floor of the restaurant.
A moment later, a figure appeared in the house.
"Miss."
As soon as the figure entered the door, he saluted Rong Xinxue respectfully.
Rong Xinxue whispered, "What happened in Da Chu these days?"
"Yes, Miss."
The spy reported all the important things in Da Chu these days truthfully.
Rong Xinxue listened to the Rong family spy's report, and her inner uneasiness became stronger.
"You said that Chu Xiaotian has been digging up old accounts in the past two days and has placed many Rong family merchants under house arrest, intending to confiscate smuggling and selling ironware and private salt?"
Rong Xinxue frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that something big was happening.
The spy nodded.
"Miss, you are right. Although Chu Xiaotian is under the banner of optimizing the market, he plans to divide merchants into different levels. The higher the evaluation, the greater the authority."
"But secretly investigate the bad records of Rong family merchants when they are doing business."
"But for the time being, it's just an investigation. It seems that Chu Xiaotian is worried about something and has been hesitant to take action."
Hearing the spy's words.
Rong Xinxue's heart sank to the bottom.
Everyone is a wise man. Chu Xiaotian must be waiting for something if he hasn't taken action yet.
"Smelting, purification..."
"Su Chaqing, have you really mastered the two technologies?"
Rong Xinxue looked unhappy.
However, she didn't intend to stop there. Her purpose of this trip was to rescue Pei Xiaoxiang. As for whether Su Chaqing had mastered the technology, it was indeed very important, but now the situation was turbulent and she couldn't wait for more thinking.
Rong Xinxue took a deep breath, "I know."
"Don't worry, Chu Xiaotian doesn't dare to act rashly. If the industry is gone, it's gone. It's good to be alive."
"Yes, Miss."
Rong Xinxue narrowed her eyes slightly.
She was indeed surprised by Da Chu's sudden move, and she was also worried about the future development of the Rong family.
However, it was absolutely impossible for Da Chu to take advantage of this to control the Rong family.
The Rong family has existed for thousands of years, which is not comparable to ordinary merchants.
The Rong family has existed until now without any resistance. With only iron and salt, it would have been swallowed up without a trace left.
"How is the Princess of Chu?"
Rong Xinxue asked.
The spy said in a deep voice: "Miss, the Princess of Chu is in a bad situation now. She will be interrogated in three days, but it seems that she can't escape death."
"Even the Pei family of the Great Chu has been sanctioned by the royal family. Many people have been imprisoned and may be tortured at any time."
"Well, I know."
Rong Xinxue nodded and signaled the spy to leave.
She frowned.
Either of the two things is enough to make her anxious.
Now put together, she doesn't know what to do.
Pei Xiaoxiang was not defiled by the beggar, but this is no longer important. The entire Chu State has become a laughing stock of the other six countries because of this incident.
Not to mention outsiders, even the civilians Pei Xiaoxiang had protected and helped would regard her as a shame and wish to chop her into pieces.
Rong Xinxue just felt it was a difficult situation.
If Su Chaqing failed to develop the smelting and purification technology, then she would still have hope on this trip. She could use the prestige of the Rong family and her own industry to exchange for Pei Xiaoxiang's safety. But if Su Chaqing mastered it, let alone whether Pei Xiaoxiang could be rescued, even if she might have to sacrifice herself.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
Just as Rong Xinxue was worried, a voice rang in her ears.
It was Ying Yi's voice.
Rong Xinxue looked around involuntarily, and did not see Ying Yi's figure, and felt a sense of loss in her heart.
But knowing that Ying Yi was by her side, her inner hesitation and worry disappeared at this moment.
"Thank you..."
Rong Xinxue whispered softly.
