"Who is that?" Yang Chuxia also saw the person and couldnāt help but ask.
"Donāt know."
As they reached closer, the person saw Ye Ziāan get down from the carriage and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Marquis Ye, I am Luo Qi, a man of General Luo."
"Uncleās man?" Ye Ziāan glanced at him. He hadnāt seen this person before, so he examined him closely.
"Yes, this is Luo Qiās waist tag," Luo Qi said, holding the token that was the Luo familyās guard badge. Worried that Ye Ziāan might not believe him, he added, "I and Ye Liu and others were trained together. If you doubt my identity, you can call any of them to verify the truth."
Upon seeing the special waist tag of the Luo family, Ye Ziāan already believed him, and hearing that he was trained with Ye Liu and others purely affirmed it.
"Follow me inside!"
"Yes!"
Entering the courtyard, Yang Chuxia took Lele back to the room, while Ye Ziāan and Luo Qi went to the study.
"Marquis, I received a message from the spies who are covertly stationed in Great Qi. Before General Luo returned to the court, he had someone send me a message that if there was something important, I was to report directly to you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ziāanās expression grew solemn, indicating the seriousness of what was to come.
"Is there any new intelligence?"
"Marquis, our people in Great Qi sent word that Prince Le has appeared in Great Qi, not only that, he has become the Second Prince of Great Qi."
"What?" Ye Ziāan was shocked; if this was true, the situation was dire. "Can it be confirmed that itās him?"
"Ninety percent sure itās him!" Luo Qi stated, "Because there is some difference in the facial features, originally our people couldnāt confirm. But it happened that his younger son was recognized by our people, and he is indeed your Second Young Master. General Luo had previously sent us word to look for Second Young Master Ye Er; we all have seen his portrait."
"And General Luo also mentioned that the Second Young Master was taken away by Prince Le; so we deduce that the Second Prince of Great Qi should be Prince Le."
Luo Qi continued, "The letter also stated that the Second Prince of Great Qi won the throne in the battle for succession, but does not intend to ascend himself; instead, he proclaimed to the court officials that his young son Qiyang would take the throne."
Though shocked inside, he didnāt show it on his face.
"Is there any other news?" Ye Ziāan asked again. "Who eventually ascended the throne?"
"The later news is still unknown," Luo Qi replied.
Ye Ziāan nodded, "I understand, I will immediately report to the court, we also have to prepare some responses for Liao City here."
If the Second Prince of Great Qi is indeed Prince Le, it seems that the impending war is unavoidable.
"I take my leave!"
After Luo Qi left, Ye Ziāan sat in place for a long time before taking up his pen to write a letter to be sent immediately to the Capital City.
"Is he really uncleās man?" Yang Chuxia was accompanying Lele to organize some trinkets picked up from the mountain temple, and seeing Ye Ziāanās somber expression, she approached, "What happened? Whatās the matter?"
Lele also looked at him.
Ye Ziāan did not hide anything and repeated Luo Qiās words to the two.
Yang Chuxia replied, "The information gathered by the spies should be correct. Back when Ye Liu and others followed to Yunchuan, he left me a letter at the base. In the letter, he questioned me, saying whatās the point of being our son, better to be his son; as his son, he might give him a country."
