What are we looking for in Chapter 598?
"Oh? Miss, do you want to go for a walk?" Lu Yue pouted, "But I just walked around and came in from outside. I'm exhausted and don't want to move at all."
"Then you should stay in the camp and rest for a while."
Lu Yue was immediately delighted: "Great! Great! Then I'll stay in the camp."
Ye Qing'an and Qingdai left the tent and walked a distance before Qingdai turned back to look in the direction of the tent: "Miss, are you just going to leave Lu Yue in our camp like this?"
"If Lu Yue approached Miss with a purpose, wouldn't she take this opportunity to ransack the camp?"
Ye Qing'an's lips curled up: "I've already put all the things that can't be shown to others into the Cloud Dream Realm. Even if she looks for them, she won't find anything."
"Besides, you were the one who packed everything in the camp. If someone had touched it, how would you have known?"
“Yes, I can.” Qingdai nodded. “Just to prevent things from being moved without our knowledge, I’ve made some special marks on many things.”
"That's good. If Lu Yue really makes a move, that would be perfect, giving us a chance to catch her red-handed."
After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, she took a few steps forward, but suddenly stopped.
"Hmm?" Qingdai looked somewhat bewildered. "What's wrong, Miss?"
Ye Qing'an looked up at Qingdai: "I suddenly remembered, I remembered that there was something shameful in my camp."
"what?"
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes: "Clothes."
Qingdai suddenly realized: "After Miss disguised herself as a soldier of Siyou Kingdom and infiltrated the army, the soldier's clothes she changed out of were still hidden under the bed in the tent."
"What should we do?" Qingdai hurriedly turned around: "This servant will go back now."
"No need," Ye Qing'an quickly pulled her back. "It's alright."
Ye Qing'an shook his head: "That's perfect. I was looking for Qiao'er for something similar."
"We can take this opportunity to test the waters..."
Ye Qing'an had already spotted Qiao'er, who was bending over on the grass not far away, seemingly searching for something.
Ye Qing'an raised her eyebrows and walked over.
"What are you looking for?"
Qiao'er seemed startled, her whole body trembled, before she raised her head: "Miss Ye... Miss Ye."
Ye Qing'an nodded, lowered his head and pretended to look at what Qiao'er was doing, but whispered in Qiao'er's ear: "If anyone asks you about me or threatens you to tell you about me, just tell them that you saw me wearing a soldier's uniform and coming out of the tent before."
"The time was after His Highness the Crown Prince and his army left on the day of the battle."
"If you ask for specific details, you can make up whatever you want, or you can just say you don't know."
"Huh?" Qiao'er looked bewildered, not knowing what Ye Qing'an was up to.
"Just do as I say."
"Yes."
After giving his instructions, Ye Qing'an left directly.
Back at the camp, they saw Lu Yue leaning against the table reading a book.
Ye Qing'an chuckled: "What are you looking at?"
“It’s a book about strange and unusual folk tales.” Lu Yue’s face was full of surprise: “I didn’t even know that you had such a book here, Miss Ye. And I haven’t read this book before, and it’s quite well written.”
Ye Qing'an chuckled: "Actually, I'm just like you. Since I was little, because I wasn't very talented, no one forced me to learn anything. My mother taught me to read and write, but she didn't force me to learn anything or like anything."
"I enjoy reading all sorts of books for leisure, I read all the good ones."
“This book…” Ye Qing’an glanced at it: “I just finished reading this book a few days ago. If you like it, you can take it and read it.”
"Okay."
Qingdai tidied up her things until after dinner, when Lu Yue excitedly ran out again.
Qingdai walked to Ye Qing'an's side and lowered her voice: "There are no signs of disturbance in the rest of the room, but this bookshelf..."
Qingdai glanced at the bookshelf: "Almost all the books on the shelf show signs of being moved. I wonder if Lu Yue really just wanted to find a book to read, or if she was looking for something else."
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "What are you looking for? Why are you only looking at the bookshelves?"
Ye Qing'an tapped her fingers lightly on the table, then suddenly stopped, turned her head and looked at Qingdai.
Qingdai seemed to have already thought of it: "Previously, when I asked the people in Huohuang Pavilion to inquire about Ye Mei, they brought in those messages in the form of books."
"I didn't hide the fact that I brought books for the young lady."
Ye Qing'an narrowed his eyes: "So, it's possible that Lu Yue was looking for the books that the soldiers who went to collect grain brought me?"
"It's not impossible."
Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips: "If that's the case, then that would be extremely interesting."
Ye Qing'an deliberately leaked the news and quickly received a response.
The following afternoon, Ye Qing'an met Liu Enze in the camp.
This was the first time Ye Qing'an had met Liu Enze after she learned that Liu Enze was Ye Mei.
Ye Qing'an still had a smile on his face: "Where have you been, sir?"
Liu Enze smiled and said, "I had nothing to do, so I took a walk in the dense forest."
"In the dense forest?" Ye Qing'an's eyes widened slightly. "There are secret passages of the rebels in that forest. It's not safe. Did you go there by yourself, sir?"
"Ah."
"Please don't be so careless next time. What if something happens?"
Liu Enze's gaze swept over Ye Qing'an's face, then he lowered his eyes and straightened his sleeves: "Miss Ye should know that I have recently been investigating spies in the army and interrogating soldiers who participated in the last battle against the rebels."
“Hmm…” Ye Qing’an lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly: “I have heard about it.”
Liu Enze nodded: "It's good that you've heard about it. Does Miss Ye know what I found out during the interrogation?"
Ye Qing'an looked increasingly guilty, only lowering her head to look at the grass at her feet: "This... naturally I don't know. Besides, this concerns military secrets, so you probably wouldn't tell me, would you?"
"There's nothing confidential about it."
Liu Enze looked nonchalant, but his gaze never left Ye Qing'an.
"People in the advance team said that while they were marching, a strange face suddenly appeared, using threats and inducements, and almost took the entire advance team hostage."
"Really?" Ye Qing'an coughed lightly. "Who is this person? How dare they be so bold?"
Liu Enze smiled and said, "At the time, I was also wondering who this person was who dared to be so bold. So, I had the soldiers in the advance team describe the person to me, and then I had an artist draw a portrait of that person."
"After the portrait was drawn, I took a look and found that the person looked seven or eight parts like Miss Ye..."
