The daughter of a noble family is reborn, and she is doted on by her godmother.

Chapter 123 Mutiny?

The innkeeper had no interest in serving the mother and daughter, so he casually arranged for a waiter and then left.

Seeing the situation, Yun Yuke didn't press further and could only settle down with the child for the time being.

"Mother, what should we do?" Yun Qingjin asked softly after entering the house.

Yun Yuke first activated the concealment talisman to ensure that no one could hear her before speaking.

"It's very strange. I need to think about it carefully. What's going on? The current situation is really too strange. This is not the state I expected at all. It's too strange, really too strange."

"Mother, what does this mean?" Yun Qingjin asked, puzzled. Although she was also curious, she had no idea what was going on.

"Hmm, why don't we guess first?" Yun Yuke didn't seem to be in a hurry. Perhaps she had figured out what was going on, and her expression returned to its original calm and composed state.

"Okay, let's follow our requirements and start from the phenomenon to analyze the essence."

Yun Qingjin sat cross-legged on the couch, lowering her head to think for a moment.

"We are here to gather information for Teacher Zhu. After hearing about the mutiny in the Cangnan army, Teacher Zhu sent someone to communicate with them, but it was like throwing a stone into the sea; the messenger was sent but no one returned."

"That's right. What else did your teacher, Mr. Zhu, say before we left?"

"Teacher Zhu means that we should just sneak in and check the situation, but we must not reveal our identities and get stuck in Cangnan Town. Ensuring our safety is the most important thing."

Yun Yuke sat down beside her. "So, what did we see after we came in?"

"There aren't too many people in this town. The grain shop seems to be operating normally. We didn't bring too much grain, and the cloth we brought is just the most common material produced by our family. These supplies are basically what's most needed during wartime, and they're all quite common."

Yun Qingjin closed her eyes and thought for a moment, "Mother, I feel like I know something is wrong. Now that we're all on edge, let's call it wartime, shouldn't the grain shop change its prices?"

"For example, buying from us at a low price and then selling at a higher price? I saw that he didn't try to lower the price when he was buying the grain, and it seems that there is still a lot of grain in their shop, and no one is scrambling to buy it."

Yun Qingjin's two lifetimes combined totaled only a little over thirty years. Thinking back on these thirty years, although the quality of life varied, she did not actually encounter wars or famines, and the places she lived in did not involve direct contact with the battlefield.

"Mother, do you think I'm right? In a typical battlefield situation, the grain shop would probably lower the price when buying grain, right? Or maybe they would raise the price? I don't know, but I think the grain shop is very quiet. When we went to buy grain, I saw that the shop assistant was almost asleep."

Yun Yuke nodded in agreement.

“The situation of food stores during wartime is quite diverse. For example, to ensure that there is enough food to eat during a war, both the army and ordinary families need to stockpile grain. Cangnan Town was established under the influence of the Cangnan Army, so the grain in the food stores here will ultimately be mainly for supplying the army.”

“I guess those people at the grain shop probably still think of us as ordinary speculators trying to make money off the grain. We’re just an ordinary mother and daughter, and we don’t seem like a big threat. Otherwise, they probably would have just confiscated the grain and wouldn’t have given us a single penny.”

Yun Qingjin nodded.

"Then did I guess wrong?"

"No, no, no, it's not wrong. The grain shop's behavior can be explained, but the quiet and peaceful atmosphere on the street is still a bit questionable."

"It doesn't look like a war is taking place here."

Yun Yuke nodded emphatically, "This is it. The town is peaceful. Except for the sudden drill outside when we entered the house, which caused a brief moment of panic, everything else is basically peaceful. Judging from the surrounding situation... even the emperor has sent a flying chariot and added a lot of soldiers. It looks like war is about to break out."

"Moreover, there's internal strife in neighboring Uro. Your Rui and your uncle just came from Uro, where the living conditions are even worse. This news has spread, and it's impossible to keep this a secret any longer. With such a chaotic situation, it looks like war is about to break out."

Yun Yuke found it increasingly strange and muttered to herself.

"Hmm, Mother, actually I've always had a question: what exactly does 'mutiny' mean?"

Yun Qingjin had wanted to ask this for a while, but hadn't had the chance.

"Oh, didn't I explain it to you before? It's like this, simply put, it means that there is a sudden rebellion or armed struggle among the lower ranks of the army. In theory, it can refer to military struggle, but it can also be non-military struggle."

Yun Yuke seemed to have thought of something and hesitated before speaking, "Yes, the news of the mutiny was delivered to the Marquis of Ankang's residence by a wounded army messenger. At the time, everyone thought there had been an armed conflict, and coupled with the lack of news from Cangnan, everyone instinctively felt that something serious had happened; but now, the situation..."

"Mother, do you mean there's no mutiny right now? Or that the impact of a mutiny isn't that great?" Yun Qingjin guessed.

"If it's not a mutiny, if something hadn't happened... then what's the situation in Cangnan now..."

Neither of them knew what to say, so they both closed their eyes and began to observe the situation on the street outside.

After waiting for a while, Yun Qingjin shook her head.

Seeing that Yun Yuke had not opened her eyes yet, he did not speak, but instead carefully considered the things that had happened earlier.

After waiting for about an incense stick's time, Yun Yuke withdrew her divine sense.

"Mother, what did you sense? I can't sense anything beyond this town. I can only make plans around here. I can't sense anything beyond that."

"Not bad. Even if it's just around this town, your strength should be enough. Very good."

"Then, did Mother sense anything?"

"We can definitely feel the troop movements. Most of the troops are deployed near Uro, so it seems they are still on guard against Uro."

Yun Yuke quickly took a sip of water. She hadn't exercised in a long time, and she was a little overwhelmed by the sudden expansion of her divine sense.

Seeing that something was wrong, Yun Qingjin quickly jumped off the bed. "Mother, are you tired? I'll go outside and find you something to eat."

Yun Yuke didn't stop her, and nodded slightly, "Just order some food."

Yun Qingjin jumped off the couch and ran out quickly. She went straight to the inn's waiter and ordered some food.

To maintain her persona, Yun Qingjin didn't dare order too much food, only two bowls of clear soup noodles, and even launched her "child offensive".

"Madam, my mother has been traveling with me for the past two days, and she's fallen ill from exhaustion. Could you please add an extra egg to our clear soup noodles? I only have thirty coins, which might not be enough..."

The innkeeper was initially reluctant, but Yun Qingjin's voice was trembling with tears, which touched people's hearts.

Finally agreed.

"Son, come with me to the kitchen. We're a bit short-handed, so you can take it back yourself."

"Thank you so much, ma'am!"
