"I trust you! I trust your Chu family! However, this matter cannot be rushed. According to the intelligence you provided, the tentacles of Prince Rui's faction have not only reached into the court, but have also planted spies in several large armies."

Therefore, the most important thing now is to slowly remove those nails; otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Si Nantian said with a frown.

"Your Majesty, I know. If there is anything that requires the help of my Chu family, please do not hesitate to give the order! My three elder brothers and I will dedicate ourselves to protecting the legitimate imperial line and the Great Yan dynasty, even unto death!"

Chu knelt on the ground, her voice resounding.

When Si Nantian saw Chu Lan like this, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes. He waved his sleeve, signaling Chu Lan to get up.

"Chu family, there's no need to be so nervous! You don't need to make any big moves after you go back."

If the dark web has the ability to uncover more culprits, then go ahead and investigate.

I will pay you money according to the rules of your dark web.

I trust the Misty Rain Pavilion, and I trust the dark web too!

Si Nantian said gently.

Previously, the Misty Rain Pavilion had secretly provided the imperial court with a lot of intelligence about neighboring countries, which greatly helped the Great Yan Kingdom. Therefore, he believed that the dark web would also be of assistance to him.

"Then thank you very much, Your Majesty!"

With a smile on her face, Madam Chu curtsied and continued, "Your Majesty, I wonder if Your Majesty would be willing to bring the Dark Web under the control of the court?"

"Bring it under the court? Chu family, you just mentioned Misty Rain Pavilion and the Dark Web. Wasn't that to test my attitude towards your Chu family?"

"I've already made it clear to you that I trust the Chu family completely! Why are you still going to hand over the dark web? Do you not trust me? Are you afraid I'll take action against the Chu family?"

Si Nantian frowned, his face full of displeasure.

This Chu family member has already said that he trusts the Chu family, yet he's still pulling this stunt. Isn't this clearly a sign that he's afraid of the Chu family taking action against him?

Is he the kind of person who goes back on his word?

"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't trust you, but I've always had this idea!"

The dark web has now successfully established an intelligence network in the Great Yan Kingdom and surrounding countries.

But ultimately it is a non-governmental organization; although powerful, it has reached its limit.

However, joining the imperial court is different. The dark web can obtain more resources and support, and better serve the Great Yan Kingdom.

At the same time, the dark web can take this opportunity to become formalized and standardized, avoiding some unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts.

"Your Majesty, I believe this will be a win-win situation."

Chu Lan explained.

Si Nantian's brows gradually relaxed after hearing Chu Lan's explanation. He pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Chu, your idea makes a lot of sense."

As a non-governmental organization, the dark web does have its limitations.

Joining the government can provide the dark web with broader development space and enable it to better fulfill its role.

"Chu, do you have any thoughts on the Dark Web joining the imperial court?"

Si Nantian asked with interest!

“Some things, after the Dark Web is brought under the control of the imperial court, can be given the opportunity to establish a special department, which can be named ‘Shadow Guard’.”

The Shadow Guard will primarily be responsible for tasks such as spies, assassinations, and monitoring officials within the imperial court.

Within the Shadow Guard, we can establish special positions, such as the 'Shadow Guard Commander,' who is responsible for overall coordination and directing all actions of the Shadow Guard.

'Phantom Assassins' are specializing in assassination missions. They appear and disappear like ghosts, making them impossible to guard against.

There are also 'Eagle Eye Agents', who are spread all over the world with numerous informants, and can quickly collect and transmit all kinds of intelligence.

They can also establish a Xuanmen organization within the Shadow Guard, specifically to solve problems involving various demons and monsters.

This way, our Great Yan Kingdom won't be powerless to resist when faced with monsters like the Sky-Swallowing Python appearing in the world again.

There's also the research and production of weapons and concealed darts, as well as various poisons and antidotes... all of which can be handled by establishing specialized departments within the Shadow Guard..."

"Your Majesty, these are some of Chu Lan's ideas. Although they are not yet mature, I have almost figured out the basic framework!"

"Your Majesty can summon your trusted ministers to discuss this!"

Chu Lan's eyes shone as he spoke these words.

Upon hearing Chu Lan's detailed and comprehensive plan, Si Nantian's eyes flashed with a mixture of shock and admiration.

He looked intently at Chu Lan, as if he saw in her the shadow of the brave and fearless female general who once fought on the battlefield.

"Chu Lan, your talent and wisdom are truly astounding."

Si Nantian exclaimed in sincere admiration.

"No need to consult with the court officials, I approve your proposal! But I have one condition!"

"What are the conditions?"

Chu Lan asked in confusion, "I've already handed over the Dark Web to the imperial court, what's wrong with this old emperor? Not only is he not grateful, but he's also making demands on me?"

Sigh! It's so hard to be a good person!

"My condition is that you, Chu Lan, will be the commander of the Shadow Guard!"

Si Nantian said with a smile!

Upon hearing this, Madam Chu smiled confidently: "Your Majesty, besides Chu Lan, is there anyone more suitable?"

"Hahaha...Good! Chu Lan, I love your spirit of being a woman who is not inferior to men!"

Only someone like you can be worthy of being a daughter of the Chu family!

"Do a good job! I'll grant you a plot of land, and you'll secretly oversee the construction of the Shadow Guard headquarters. The craftsmen and all expenses will be covered by me!"

"good!"

Chu laughed too, a carefree and unrestrained laugh.

"Mother, are you finished talking?"

Just then, Sheng Wanwan's soft, babyish voice came from inside.

Si Nantian and Chu Shi looked over.

Then Sheng Wanwan stuffed the last bite of peach blossom pastry into her mouth and patted the crumbs off her hands.
