Chapter 664: Direct access to the heavens

Qin Chao stood blankly in front of Ning Fan. He didn't know why he was half-bent. He just felt that his whole body was dizzy and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Xiao Qin?"

"Forehead!"

Qin Chao shook his head violently, then looked at Ning Fan and asked cautiously: "Are you saying that these people are all Da Yan's masterpieces?"

"Yes, these people used Lan Yue Tower as a cover to steal our Dali's military information and related intelligence."

"The reason why Lanyue Tower can stand tall in Dali is because there is a deep protective umbrella hidden behind them. They are most likely officials of the third rank or above of the imperial court!"

"Ordinary people don't have such a lot of energy."

"Third grade..."

"Boss, this matter is of great importance. Let Mr. Qin investigate it in detail before making a conclusion!"

Mu Shao on the side listened to Ning Fan talking to Xiao Qin, and carefully reminded Qin Hei, who also had black lines on his head and looked dissatisfied: "Sishen, Mr. Qin is our immediate superior, so you must not be rude!"

"Ahem!" Qin Chao also came to his senses, waved his hands grandly, and said with a dry smile: "It doesn't matter, they are all serving the imperial court. Director Shen can be called whatever he wants."

"But, what should we do next?"

"Take him back for interrogation!"

"Strike while the iron is hot, completely smash Da Yan's intelligence network in Da Li in one fell swoop, and arrest Qi Lanyue throughout the city."

"Yes, yes... have you heard what Director Shen said?" Qin Chao looked back at the officials who came with him: "Take these people back, interrogate them all night, issue arrest warrants, and search for Yan Longwei throughout the city. At the head of Li!"

"promise!"

"Boss, what should we do?"

"do what?"

Ning Fan glanced at Mu Shao and said angrily: "I drank the wine and hugged the girl. You have been busy all day and don't go back to rest. Are you going to rebel?"

"Well……"

"Boss, if you show mercy, you will lose your head."

"Okay, brothers, you have worked hard today, go back and hold your wives and children while you wait for promotion and fortune!"

…

This night was destined to be extremely extraordinary. Lanyue Tower was the most prosperous area in Li, so the news naturally spread extremely quickly.

The entire Phoenix Terrace was busy with this big mess that Ning Fan had brought out. The top leader of the Black Mansion, the First Master, also had mixed feelings, and went to visit Du Liufeng, the leader of the Phoenix Terrace, overnight!

"Sir, what happened last night is probably like this."

"How...should we deal with it?"

Du Liufeng was also sitting in front of the desk, tapping his knuckles on the table rhythmically, and was speechless for a long time.

He has been in charge of Phoenix Station for so many years, and in the past three years, he has captured only a handful of Da Yan's masterpieces.

But a newly appointed non-staff member, in just two days, destroyed Da Yan's stronghold in Li, and even uncovered the mastermind hidden in the court.

This makes the leader feel a little dreamlike, everything is full of unreality.

"Have the identities of those craftsmen been confirmed?"

"They have all been recruited, and my subordinates have also found a lot of clues from them. Some time ago, the news about Da Yan's surprise attack on Liyang City was leaked through Lan Yue Tower."

"Xu Yan and Lan Yue Lou are on the same line. The letter the day before yesterday was obtained by Xu Yan from Fairy Lan Yue. He was about to send it out when Shen Yu discovered it."

Du Liufeng exhaled a deep breath, and there was a sharp look in his eyes: "What a Lanyue Tower, it seems that the one who can kill me is not Da Yan, but the moth hidden in the imperial court!"

"Qin Chao, I will hand over the secret service to you, and we must capture Qi Lanyue."

"promise!"

"Inform the Bai Mansion to confiscate Zheng Tu's home first, and continue to trace the people behind him. This time, I will uproot the moth in my Dali court!"

"Sir, according to Shen Yu's speculation, the person behind Lan Yue Tower is at least a third-grade official. If we act rashly, will it..."

"No problem!"

"I went to the palace overnight to meet the Holy Spirit, explain the interests and benefits to His Majesty, and ask for a handwriting."

"So good!"

"By the way, where is Shen Yu now?"

"Uh!" Qin Chao had a strange look on his face, carefully observed the leader's expression, and said softly: "Are you going to bed?"

"Well... after a tiring day, it's time to take a good rest. Shen Yu has done a great job for me this time. Bring him to see me tomorrow!"

"promise!"

…

Li Palace.

The empress was sitting in the royal study, her expression full of haggard. News of the defeat on the front line kept coming. Today she lost two cities, and tomorrow she lost three cities. In just over a month, Dali collapsed thousands of miles away.

How to resist Da Yan’s million-strong army?

"Your Majesty, the opera master has written again."

"oh?"

Mu Qingcheng rubbed her head and took the northern secret report from the eunuch. She looked a little worried. She was afraid that it would be another official document about defeat or a letter asking for help.

During this period, there were frequent battle reports, and each letter made her suffer and gave rise to a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Oh, it's a pity that I was born at the wrong time. If I could have taken office three years earlier, why would I be here today?"

"It's a great hardship to the people of Dali."

Mu Qingcheng sighed and opened the battle report in his hand. A look of disbelief appeared in his eyes. Then, his face suddenly condensed, and cold murderous intent spread from his whole body, chilling to the bone!

"It turns out that our successive defeats in Dali were not because the soldiers were greedy for life and afraid of death, nor because the commander-in-chief was unable to strategize."

"But in my court, there are people who are working for Dayan under the guise of Dali?"

"Hahaha, ridiculous, absurd!"

"Those standing on the dry shore are all Dali people who were born and raised in Dali!"

Mu Qingcheng suddenly felt a sense of desolation. She worked hard day and night to make a living for this huge court, but among the people who followed her, there were actually people who betrayed their ancestors!

How sad!

"Your Majesty!"

"The commander of the imperial guards wants to see you."

"Call!"

Mu Qingcheng's face was gloomy, suppressing the anger in her heart. Seeing the commander of the imperial guards striding into the hall, she asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"

"Your Majesty, just now my subordinates reported that the arrest department under the Phoenix Tower Black Mansion has been arresting spies in a big way in Lanyue Tower, destroying the base of Dayan Yanlongwei in my Dali, causing many deaths?"

"Really!"

"I have verified that the Black Mansion has indeed captured many people and brought them back. The bodies at the scene include those who bit through the poison sac and committed suicide, and there are also unidentified swordsmen. There should be no doubt about it."

"Okay, this time Du Liufeng finally gave me face. Pass the order, and ask Du Liufeng and Prime Minister Cheng Jinrong to see you overnight!"

"Yes!"

The attendant next to him was about to go down to pass the order, but saw a figure walking in quickly: "Your Majesty, the leader of the Phoenix Tower, Du Liufeng wants to see you!"
