Chapter 821 Let’s get down to business first!

Youjiu came back with a letter.

It was a secret report from Ying Er.

Imperial City and his party, Black Crow and White Crow both suffered heavy losses.

There were dozens of people in total, but in the end only four people left the imperial city alive.

The rest were either caught on the spot or killed, or did not escape subsequent arrests.

Fortunately, Ying Er had better luck and managed to save his life.

Ying Er and the others were able to successfully escape from the imperial city, thanks to the "old man" who assisted them.

Unfortunately, the old man wore a mask on his face, and Ying Er did not see his true face.

However, the "old man" had a shriller voice and was probably an old eunuch.

The leader of White Crow respected the old man very much. This time, even though Black Crow and White Crow suffered heavy losses, the leader of White Crow had no intention of blaming the old man.

Ying Er felt that the leader of White Crow should know the old man’s background.

Also, Ying Er feels that the old man's control of Black Crow and White Crow is not entirely based on money, but rather like the method of some cult.

In addition, Ying Er also mentioned that the place where they obtained the powerful crossbow before the assassination was Mao'er Mountain.

It is estimated that this group of people wanted to pin the assassination of Cui Wenjing and his family on Yunzheng.

Before they left, the old man told them to stay dormant for the time being and develop their respective forces with peace of mind. No one was allowed to tamper without orders.

Currently, the old man has not assigned a new leader to the Black Crow.

All matters of the Black Crow and the White Crow are temporarily in charge of the leader of the White Crow.

After reading the secret report sent back by Ying Er, Yun Zheng couldn't help but secretly wonder.

Cult tactics?

This was something he hadn't thought of before.

However, if the old man is really an old eunuch in the palace, the scope will be much narrowed.

There are actually not many old eunuchs in the palace.

The eunuchs who can still stay in the palace when they are old basically have official positions.

Mu Shun can help find out who this old eunuch is.

Yun Zheng thought for a moment and then told You Jiu: "You will rest for two days, and then rush to Lingzhou in the Northwest Protectorate as quickly as possible to spy on the information about Dayue Kingdom!"

"Yes!"

Youjiu accepted the order, his eyes flashing with excitement.

We are finally going to take action against Dayue Kingdom!

It's time for the Eighteen Ghost Riders to show off their skills again.

Although they are now called the Eighteen Ghost Riders, they have many more people than before!

This is a good opportunity to build a career.

"Inquiring about information, but also paying attention to safety."

Yun Zheng reminded again, "Da Yue Kingdom will definitely be on strict guard, so be careful!"

"Yes!"

Youjiu took orders again.

"Okay, let's go back and rest first!"

Yun Zheng waved his hand gently and You Jiu left.

After Youjiu left, Yun Zheng turned to look at Ye Zi beside him, "What do you think?"

"How else can I watch this?"

Ye Zi smiled helplessly, "Obviously, the old man has felt threatened, and now he doesn't want to attract other people's attention! They shouldn't make any moves in a short time! This is not a good thing for us, but it is not a good thing either. It’s a bad thing…”

This force chose to lie dormant, and it would definitely be more troublesome for them to track it down.

But now is the time for Yunzheng to use troops against the Dayue Kingdom. This force chooses to lie dormant, which naturally allows Yun Zheng to save some time and deal with the Dayue Kingdom with peace of mind.

When this battle is over, it won't be too late to find a way to find out the mastermind behind this.

"That's true."

Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, and reminded: "But you still have to be careful! Judging from what happened last time, this man behind the scenes probably wants to anger me by assassinating you, and their target may turn to you and the children. When you go out, be sure to take extra protection.”

"I will pay attention." Ye Zi solemnly agreed, then frowned and said: "Have you ever thought about the meaning of these people irritating you? Is it just to make you go to war with the imperial court?"

Ye Zi didn't quite understand this question.

If it were the past, it would have made sense for those people to do this.

After all, Yun Zheng's power was not too great before.

If Yunzheng and the imperial court were to fight and both sides would suffer losses, that group of people might be able to take advantage of the situation and rise up.

But the problem now is that Yunzheng's power is too great.

If Yun Zheng really goes to war with the imperial court, it can be said that the imperial court has almost no chance of winning.

Once Yun Zheng wins, even if Yun Zheng is still unable to find out who is behind the scenes, as he said, if all his brothers are killed or exiled, won't all the efforts of this group of people be in vain?

"I can't quite understand it now."

Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "Just like this time, Black Crow and White Crow suffered such heavy losses, and they didn't even complain. This method of controlling people's hearts is really terrifying!"

"Yes, I'm wondering too."

Ye Zi looked solemn, "Black Crow and White Crow are so determined. If not for gold and silver, what else could they do? What can the person behind the old man give them?"

Faced with Ye Zi's question, Yun Zheng had no way of answering.

The secret report sent back by Ying Er this time revealed a lot of information.

But it also caused them great confusion.

"Forget it, let's not think about these things for now."

Yunzheng shook his head, "Since they want to hibernate, let them hibernate! Give our people some time, maybe they can find out more information."

Since the leader of White Crow probably knows the true identity of the old man, he can also start from this person.

In any case, after this incident, they now have more breakthrough points.

After you are done with the big things, let’s slowly investigate this matter!

He still didn't believe it, and he couldn't find out the identity of the mastermind no matter how hard he searched.

"That's all it can do now."

Ye Zi sighed helplessly.

Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, just be afraid of thieves missing you.

If the mastermind behind this is not found out, it will still be a hidden danger after all.

"Okay, you take a rest first, I'll go do something."

Yunzheng patted Ye Zi's hand, stood up and walked out.

Soon, Yunzheng found Wei Shuang and showed Wei Shuang the secret report sent by Ying Er.

After Wei Shuang finished reading, he looked at Yunzheng with some confusion, "Your Highness doesn't want me to find a way to find out the identity of this old man, right?"

"no no."

Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "I'm just showing you this letter to ask you to pay more attention! The security of this palace is all pointed at you."

"So that's it."

Wei Shuang suddenly realized, "Your Highness, don't worry, I will never give those little guys a chance to take advantage of you!"

"My sister-in-law said that, I feel relieved." Yun Zheng smiled, "In addition, when the Suzaku Guards were secretly investigating those officials, they also paid more attention to the news in this area to see if these people had sent anyone to sneak into Shuobei to serve as officials. ”

Although he also knows that there are too many people in this world who are good at hiding.

No matter how carefully Wei Shuang checked, he probably wouldn't be able to find anything.

But it’s always good to keep an eye out.

This group of people want to cause trouble so much, so there is no guarantee that they will not send people to Shuobei.

"Okay, I see."

Wei Shuang nodded solemnly, "I will also strictly control the people who are included in the Suzaku Guard."

"Ah."

Yunzheng nodded and smiled, "I can rest assured that my sister-in-law will handle these things!"
