Chapter 502: Chapter 468, Nemesis_2

“The other passage leading outside has been found, with no signs of anyone having gone out.”

“After we entered, Xu Kezheng knew something was wrong, originally intending to transport the weapons out through this passage, but who knew… he was intercepted by Miss Yan.”

Xiao Yeyang stood outside the Stone Tomb, silently listening to Ang Yi’s report. He had shown no reaction until this point, but at these words, his expression finally shifted.

Not only was Xiao Yeyang sighing with emotion, so was Ang Yi.

Thinking about Xu Kezheng, gritting his teeth and writhing in agony over the matter, Ang Yi felt somewhat heartbroken but also a bit secretly pleased.

Who would have thought that the leader of the Hidden Guard of the Prince Residence, Xu Kezheng, would be outwitted by a young girl, alas, the thought alone made one feel dissatisfied on his behalf.

...

Xiao Yeyang: “I know of Fan Kun, he’s always been sly and cunning, we must capture him as soon as possible.”

Ang Yi nodded, “Now that we have control over the two exits, he certainly won’t be able to escape.”

Xiao Yeyang: “Don’t be careless, even the imperial uncle failed to capture him in the past, allowing him to escape.”

Later, after gaining a rough understanding of the situation at the military factory, Xiao Yeyang left and returned to the courtyard where Daohua was staying. Learning that Yan Wentao had found a woman from the village to tend to her within the house, and seeing through the window that Daohua seemed to be resting rather peacefully, he then proceeded to the next room to write a letter to the emperor.

De Fu stood by, grinding ink, unable to conceal his excitement.

Having seized such a large iron mine and a military factory from the prince turned out to be another great achievement for the master.

But thinking about it, the prince was rather unfortunate, first having the gold mine discovered in advance by Miss Yan, and now his private iron mine and military factory were exposed because of her. It seemed like Miss Yan was the prince’s nemesis, wasn’t she?

However, on the other hand, while Miss Yan might have been the nemesis of the prince, she was certainly the lucky star of the master.

Xiao Yeyang meticulously recorded the cause, process, and outcome of the events, then emphasized the suffering Daohua had undergone throughout the ordeal, making sure the emperor would not overlook Daohua’s contribution before summoning a Hidden Guard to deliver the tightly sealed letter, “An urgent missive, speed it to the capital!”

After completing these tasks, it was already 5:00 AM (Mao Shi). Xiao Yeyang, too weary to retire to his bed, simply took a short rest in the chair.

At the start of 7:00 AM (Chen Shi), Daohua awoke.

Xiao Yeyang, hearing the stir, also ceased sleeping and went directly to her room, where, seeing the dark circles under Daohua’s eyes, he asked with a furrowed brow, “Didn’t sleep well last night?”

Daohua nodded listlessly, admitting she had overestimated her ability to cope emotionally, having had nightmares all night long.

Xiao Yeyang, recalling the massacre of the villagers at the military factory by the prince’s men, stepped forward to comfort her, “You arrived in time, and although many villagers were injured, their lives were saved. The ordeal is over, try not to think about it anymore.”

Daohua nodded, “Mm.”

Xiao Yeyang turned to the woman in the room, “Go and bring some hot water; the young lady needs to wash up.”

The woman hurriedly nodded and quickly left the room.

Xiao Yeyang, looking at Daohua’s unkempt hair: “Come, let me comb your hair for you.”

Daohua looked at him incredulously, “Do you even know how?”

Xiao Yeyang: “I certainly can’t do a lady’s hairstyle, but you’re currently dressed as a man, and I can manage a gentleman’s hairstyle well enough.”

Seeing doubt on Daohua’s face, Xiao Yeyang promptly pulled her to a stool and had her sit, then picked up the comb and began.
