At this time, who will be in the mood to care about beauty?

After changing her clothes, Lin Chujiu didn’t even eat, she was about to go back to the Meng Family, but the shadow guard appeared in front of her in the yard: “Wangfei, this subordinate found something about Meng Laofuren’s death. Please allow this subordinate to report first.” Things were more serious than they thought, it will greatly affect their future, Lin Chujiu must decide.

If this were not the case, the shadow guard will not be so anxious to stop Lin Chujiu at this time.

“Is it very urgent?” Lin Chujiu said with a hoarse tone, obviously, she cried earlier.

The shadow guard thought for a moment, then said: “It’s quite serious.”

“Go to the study room.” Lin Chujiu said without any emotion. No one knows if it was because she has calmed down.

The shadow guard knew that Lin Chujiu was in a hurry to go back to the Meng Family. So as soon as he arrived in the study room, he knelt and reported: “Wangfei, this subordinate found a spy of the emperor. And it’s more than one.”

“The emperor?” When Lin Chujiu heard this, her sad eyes immediately lit up: “Those two suicidal women are the emperor’s spies?”

“They’re not. Those two women had contact with the emperor’s spy before they died.” The shadow guard quietly looked up at Lin Chujiu. When he saw Lin Chujiu still had a calm expression, he said: “Wangfei, this subordinate suspected that Meng Laofuren’s death has a connection with the emperor.”

Lin Chujiu slightly frowned her eyebrows: “He has no reason to kill my grandmother.”

The shadow guard knew that Lin Chujiu would think so, so he continued to say: “Wangfei, when wangye went to the front line, 70% of the troops that were with him are Guo Gongfu’s old subordinates. Although those old subordinates never had contact again with the Meng Family. They admired the old lady from the bottom of their heart.”

His last sentence, the shadow guard doesn’t need to elaborate more, Lin Chujiu understood what he means.

If news came out that Meng Laofuren’s death has something to do with Lin Chujiu, then those old subordinate of Guo Gongfu will put this account on Xiao Tianyao.

Even knowing someone deliberately provokes this event, those old subordinate will still think that Xiao Tianyao killed the old lady to win over Guo Gongfu’s men.

By then, those 30,000 soldiers around Xiao Tianyao will not become his strength, but more likely resistance. And in anger, they will face Xiao Tianyao’s sword.

The reason that the shadow guard said was feasible, but… …

“Before the war starts, the emperor will not make such a move.” Lin Chujiu believes that the emperor also has a brain.

Even if the emperor wants to use Guo Gongfu’s subordinate to make calculations towards Xiao Tianyao, it will not be at this time. The timing is not right.

“Wangfei, the emperor’s intention to kill wangye never stops. As long as wangye die, the emperor will not hesitate to sacrifice a few cities.” The shadow guard was convinced that this matter was the emperor’s doing.

“Although I don’t have much contact with the emperor, I know that inside his heart, he values the east country more than anyone else. If this is the emperor’s doing, he will not let wangye lead those armies in the first place.” Lin Chujiu was not defending the emperor, it’s just, she doesn’t believe that the emperor will play a drama at this time: “Don’t get confused. Try and check this matter again, there must be flow in it.”

When the shadow guard heard Lin Chujiu’s words, he was a bit disappointed. However, he still said: “This subordinate understand.” Thinking about it again, if the emperor did such a low thing, he was not worthy to be their wangye’s opponent.

“Wangfei, there is one more thing…” In addition to reporting these findings, he also asked Lin Chujiu how to deal with these clues… …
