Han Siwen and Wang Hua hurriedly stood up and stood at attention: "I just followed your majesty's will and don't dare to take credit!"
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said: "You all sit down and don't act so politely. You were not very good birds when you were pro-army in the Han Dynasty. Don't let the officials become big now and people will feel uncomfortable."

Han Siwen and Wang Hua looked at each other and then sat back down!
Han Siwen asked: "Your Majesty, where is Cao Ling now?"
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Han Siwen, smiled and said: "You still have to compete with him, but this is not bad. He sent a message back in October, saying that he was taking people to the west of the Ural Mountains to escape. It¡¯s freezing cold, and there¡¯s been no news for two months now. If everything goes well, he should have climbed over the Ural Mountains!¡±

Han Siwen didn¡¯t say the rest, but the meaning was already very obvious!
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this. The message he sent back said that the spies of the Rakshasa people were caught. From those spies, he learned that there is a Rakshasa village on the west side of the Ural Mountains.
