On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 1539: Door-to-Door Prophecy

The young man who brought the news quickly recounted what had happened. In the abandoned house, a large red banner hung by the Red Lotus Sect was found.

Although the matter was a bit unbelievable, since the young man had seen it with his own eyes, he could not be careless. Huo Changhe immediately arranged for someone to check it out.

The distance was not far and the secret guard was fast. He came back in a short while and brought back one of the banners.

A bright red cloth with the three large characters "Red Lotus Sect" written on it in gold paint, and a golden lotus painted on the top.

It is undoubtedly the symbol of the Red Lotus Sect.

Huo Changhe looked carefully and saw Yan Ruyu lightly twisting the lacquer characters with her fingers, leaving a little golden lacquer powder on her fingertips.

"Your Majesty, did the Red Lotus Cult act like this in the past?"

Huo Changhe thought for a moment and said, "When they were prosperous, they were indeed very pompous. Wherever they went, there were large groups of people traveling, and the people on both sides knelt and bowed their heads."

"They also often have followers carrying banners and walking around to recruit followers."

Huo Changhe frowned: "But... the Red Lotus Sect is like a lost dog now, and is naturally not as good as it was in its heyday. Why are you bringing this up now?"

Strange indeed.

Before Yan Ruyu heard what Huo Changhe had said, she asked again, "During the heyday, did you suppress them at that time? Did you get any spoils of victory?"

Huo Changhe couldn't help laughing: "When you mentioned this, it reminded me that when Yinding and Jinding were returning to Beijing, they encountered their parade on the way. The two of them even mixed in and took their clothes and banners."

"Yin Ding is a money-grubber, as you know. That thing might be thrown in the storehouse of the palace."

Yan Ruyu thought, if it was thrown in the palace storehouse, then wouldn’t it be possible that it was in her space?

After all, when the palace was confiscated and the emperor was exiled, she took away everything in the palace storehouse without even looking at it.

With this in mind, let's put this topic aside for now.

She said to the young man, "Don't panic about this matter. Didn't the prince say that the Red Lotus Sect is now a lost dog and will not cause trouble again? If they really wanted to do something, why would they go to an abandoned house?"

The young man has now calmed down and thought about it, and he agrees.

"Moreover, West City is the safest place at this time. There is a guard every five steps and a sentry every ten steps. Yamen runners can be seen everywhere."

Huo Changhe took over and said, "You are the one wearing the blue armband, a person trusted by the people and the government. First of all, you must stabilize the situation, and secondly, you must appease the people. Don't let rumors spread, which will be detrimental to the reconstruction of the old city."

When the young man heard this, he immediately felt a great sense of responsibility and also felt honored.

He straightened his back and nodded, "Yes, my Lord, my Princess, I will remember this and make sure it is done well."

Yan Ruyu warned: "Don't panic if you see it, but don't act recklessly. Ask the yamen runners for help and report it in time."

"Yes."

The young man retreated and hurried to appease the neighbors.

As soon as he left, Cui Chong rode quickly to West City and saw Song Ping. When their eyes met, Song Ping knew it must be an important matter.

Song Ping didn't say anything, turned around and took him upstairs.

Many things have been very strange these days. Huo Changhe instructed Song Ping to arrange the guarding affairs in the mansion and to follow secretly, not too far away.

After all, Yinding was too conspicuous, and many people knew that Yinding was the first guard beside King Zhennan.

Song Ping is different. He is mature, steady, capable, and very low-key. He is used to traveling around the world, and his way of looking at people and things is different from that of the guards in the palace.

"My Lord, Princess, Cui Chong is here with something important."

Cui rushed into the room to greet him and said quickly, "My Lord, Princess, the Goddess of the Sky Eye went to the government office and told the governor where the remnants of the Red Lotus Sect are hiding."

Yan Ruyu was surprised: "Did the Goddess of Heavenly Eyes go to the government office?"

"Exactly."

"Are you still here at this moment?"

"She left after saying that, but my Lord has sent someone to follow her."

Huo Changhe immediately stood up and ordered a car to be prepared, and he and Yan Ruyu quickly rushed to the yamen.

Governor Cao is arranging people to capture the remnants of the Red Lotus Sect. He is not afraid, and the detectives are not afraid either. They are even rubbing their hands in anticipation of this rare opportunity.

The key point is that this opportunity is so rare that Governor Cao can't believe it can be seized so easily.

Therefore, he wanted to ask Huo Changhe for his opinion. Moreover, he was afraid that Huo Changhe might have some plans, which he might not know about and might be destroyed by him.

"Everyone, brace yourself. When the prince arrives and says we can start the action, we will set out immediately and make sure to capture all the remaining evil cult members in one fell swoop, leaving no one alive!"

"Catch them all in one swoop, leaving no one behind."

"Catch them all in one swoop, leaving no one behind!"

Everyone was very excited. At this moment, Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu arrived.

Governor Cao hurried over and said, "My Lord, my Princess."

After inviting the two men into the front hall, Governor Cao began to narrate the entire incident.

"At that time, I was arranging the demolition of the old houses in West City, and the Goddess of the Sky Eye and her four guards came to the government office together."

"One of her guards said that there was something important and asked the yamen runner to pass it on."

"I was afraid that she would say something shocking again, so I had them brought to the front hall. As soon as they met, the Goddess of Heavenly Eyes pointed to the northwest."

Governor Cao recalled the scene at that time. The Goddess of Heaven's Eye pointed to the northwest and spoke in a flat, low voice without any ripples, word by word.

"The Red Lotus Cult retreated to the northwest, the land of swallowing the sky, the home of Mu Dong."

He said it three times in a row, which made Governor Cao feel a chill on the back of his neck.

The Goddess of Heaven's Eye left after she finished speaking, and her guards also said nothing. The five of them came like the wind and left like the wind.

Governor Cao did not dare to delay and quickly divided his troops into three groups. One group was led by Cui Chong, who reported the matter to Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu; the second group was to send people to follow the Goddess of Heavenly Eyes; and the third group was himself, who immediately dispatched the best constable to prepare for the arrest.

He told the whole story in detail, and Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu looked at each other.

"What a coincidence," Yan Ruyu said.

Governor Cao was stunned: "What coincidence? What does the princess mean?"

Huo Changhe said, "You may not know, Governor Cao, but just now, the prince and the princess were in a teahouse in West City and encountered a strange thing. Someone hung a red cloth in an abandoned yard with three big characters written on it: Red Lotus Sect."

Governor Cao was surprised: "Is there such a thing?"

"Yes, someone is hanging a banner over there, and you will know the whereabouts of the remaining Red Lotus Sect members here."

Yan Ruyu's voice was slightly chilly: "That's why I said it was such a coincidence."

"Your Majesty, let's take a look at what they are up to."

Huo Changhe nodded: "Okay. Governor Cao, let's send people off, according to the prophecy, to the northwest."

The fighting spirit of Governor Cao suddenly ignited. He was a civil servant, and such fighting spirit was rare.

"Okay, I will order my men to set off now."

He strode to the front hall door, but before he could step out, he walked back.

"However, my Lord, Princess, I do not know what the Heaven-Swallowing Land and Mudong's House are."

Huo Changhe: "..."

Yan Ruyu suppressed her laughter and said, "Do you have a map? Take it out and let me see it."

"Yes, yes," Governor Cao quickly ordered someone to bring the map and spread it out on the table.

This map is quite detailed. The area within a hundred miles around Youcheng is depicted in great detail, including some small villages.

"This map, sir, is quite detailed," Huo Changhe also noticed and admired it sincerely.

Governor Cao felt a little embarrassed, but he couldn't hide his little pride.

"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, this is the only thing I have done in the past few years that is not a small thing."
