Prince Lei Ting would not have wanted to control a force that allowed spies to send information out after they were plotted against.

However, the 18 Stockaded Villages were different. This was a force even his brother, the Emperor, had to be wary of.

“I don’t think there will be any bad news. Just wait.”

He thought he would receive good news in a few days. After all, it was a gift that he had carefully prepared for the 11th Stockaded Village.

He had deliberately chosen the 11th Stockaded Village because of Qi Gu’s son, Qi Ye. He was the most outstanding of the younger generation.

On the outskirts of Liufu Town…

The Cascade River ran by here. Yan Nuo inquired about this place and learned that this was where the river had burst its banks.

“Deputy General Yan, I’ve asked the villagers. The river burst its banks here,” a sergeant behind Yan Nuo said.

A few sergeants had gone to ask the villagers nearby and received the same answer—the Cascade river had burst its banks here.

However, they found one thing strange.

“Deputy General, a few embankments nearby collapsed at the same time. This is really strange.”

No one could have expected the river to burst its banks. However, he had never heard of the river embankments collapsing at multiple nearby sites at the same time.

Could it really be a coincidence?

Yan Nuo looked back at the sergeant and asked, “At the same time? How many places?”

He and Qian Jiyun had stayed near Liufu Town.

“Four,” the sergeant answered.

He would not have been suspicious if only two embankments had collapsed at the same time. He would probably dismiss it as a coincidence.

However, how could four embankments collapsing together be a coincidence?

Besides, how could there be so many coincidences? If there were too many coincidences, it had to be caused by man. It seemed like this was not a natural disaster!

“Four!” Yan Nuo took a deep breath.

Miss Jiuyue was right! These people are really out to kill Master.

How vicious are they to disregard so many lives to kill one? This is definitely not something that old woman living in the Prince Zhan Yun Residence would do.

She’s not that daring. Even if she has someone backing her and giving her courage, she will not dare do this.

“Xue Ling! There’s really someone else backing you up!”

On the other hand, Xue Ling has the guts for this. She’s afraid she’ll be too lonely in death and wants to bury the entire Xue family with her, right? Interesting.

“What else did you find?” he asked.

“Well…” The sergeant hesitated, unsure whether to say anything.

Yan Nuo glanced at the soldier and said coldly, “Tell me!”

“Yes, Deputy General,” the sergeant replied and told him everything he had heard.

It turned out that before the river broke through its banks, the villagers living nearby had heard several deafening explosions. However, they did not know what had happened and could not tell what the explosions had to do with the collapse of the embankments.

“The villagers nearby heard a very loud sound coming from the bank before the river broke through, but they couldn’t tell what it was.”

Yan Nuo turned around and looked at the sergeant in confusion.

“A sound?”

He could not figure out what the sound was right away. He would only know after inspecting the embankment collapse sites.
