While Yang Feng was busy having children, Cheng Yu arrived at the Liangzhou camp under cover of night and met Duan Jiong.

"Great! His Majesty has finally decided to take action against these parasites?"

Upon learning of Cheng Yu's plan, Duan Jiong's expression lit up with joy.

Duan Jiong, the most renowned general in the Han Dynasty, had fought against the Qiang people for many years and naturally understood the detestable nature of these local strongmen.

To put it bluntly, in Duan Jiong's eyes, only by killing all the Qiang people could Liangzhou be truly stable.

However, neither the emperor nor the officials in the court would allow him to do so, so Duan Jiong transferred all his hatred to the powerful Qiang people.

Duan Jiong then looked at Cheng Yu and asked in a deep voice, "Zhongde, you must have a plan for coming here today, right?"

"Indeed! Eliminating these Qiang chieftains is easy, but I have other matters to attend to here!"

As Cheng Yu spoke, he took out a map drawn by the Detective Division.

"General Duan, please take a look..."

"Hmm~, this looks like a map of the Lesser Yuezhi?"

Duan Jiong took a closer look and his expression changed.

“Indeed, the Yuezhi now number over 500,000, constantly threatening the two prefectures of Dunhuang and Zhangye. Currently, all the tribes are busy with trade and have no time to deal with them. I believe this is the best time to eliminate them!”

Duan Jiong looked at the various information marked on the map, his gaze falling on the territory belonging to the Eastern Qiang, and then said:

"By taking down the Lesser Yuezhi, we can completely sever the connection between the Eastern Qiang and the Western Regions, placing them within the encirclement of our Great Han!"

Cheng Yu said, "That's right. If the Eastern Qiang want to expand further in the future, they will have no choice but to fight against the Western Qiang tribes!"

Duan Jiong laughed and said, "Well done, as expected of Zhongde, your plans are indeed far-reaching. Now, tell me your plan in detail!"

"A pretext of disrupting the trade is enough... As long as the Yuezhi make a move, the Eastern Qiang and Western Qiang will follow suit, and once they do, Beigong Boyu and the others will also act accordingly..."

Cheng Yu then explained his plan to Duan Jiong in detail, including luring the snake out of its hole and framing the culprit.

"Alright, Zhongde, go ahead and do it. Leave the rest to me!"

At this moment, Duan Jiong looked at Cheng Yu with admiration. Such a ruthless person was just to his liking.

Soon, Cheng Yu left the Liangzhou camp and returned to the secret outpost of the Investigation Division.

As soon as Cheng Yu sat down, Steward Jin Cheng came up to him with a happy expression.

"Shangguan, just as you predicted, Beigong Boyu and the others have really made their move!"

Cheng Yu closed his eyes slightly and asked in a slow voice, "What did they do?"

"Reporting to your superior, they buried armor, fine iron, and several letters in the governor's mansion through a secret passage..."

"Ha! They really hate Liu Yan to death!"

Cheng Yu couldn't help but sneer, then asked, "Where are those people?"

"Reporting to the superior, they have all been captured without exception!"

Cheng Yu nodded: "Alright, lock them up first, and release them after Liu Yan dies!"

"promise!!"

"Have the people around Liu Yan investigated this thoroughly?"

"In response to your question, Liu Yan currently has a total of forty men with him, most of whom he brought from Jiangxia. Only about ten of them came from Jizhou!"

"Jizhou?"

Cheng Yu suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Could it be that Jia Wenhe's men are in there...?"

The official hesitated, saying, "This... that shouldn't be the case, there's been no news from our people in Jizhou!"

Just then, a secret agent from the Investigation Department walked in hurriedly.

"Shangguan, an urgent message from Jizhou!"

Cheng Yu's expression shifted: "Oh? Who sent the letter?"

"It's...it's Jia Xu, Shangguan!"

After saying that, the spy lowered his head.

Cheng Yu frowned, then took Jia Xu's letter.

The letter contained very little information, only a few names, and Liu Zhong, who was standing next to Liu Yan, was also among them.

"Phew, this Jia Wenhe is truly omnipresent...!"

After reading the letter, Cheng Yu felt deeply wary of Jia Xu's cunning schemes.

The person in charge couldn't help but ask, "Sir?"

"Hmm, it's alright!" Cheng Yu waved his hand, then handed the secret letter to the person in charge: "Make a note of these names!"

"promise!!"

The official took the letter, glanced at it carefully, and then burned it.

On the other side, Bei Gong Boyu waited until late into the night but the person he had sent did not come to report back. He became extremely anxious and wanted to send someone again, but he was worried about being exposed, so he had to give up.

The next morning, with Li's help, Yang Feng walked out of the house feeling refreshed.

Upon seeing Yang Feng, Yang Yan, who was practicing with a spear in the courtyard, quickly stepped forward and bowed in greeting.

"Your child greets your father!"

Yang Yan felt no discomfort at all when Yang Feng came out of his mother's room; on the contrary, he was quite pleased.

The mother and son had always been lonely and destitute. Since meeting Yang Feng, he had always regarded Yang Feng as his father. Now that his mother had found a good home, he was naturally overjoyed.

"Uh~!"

Yang Feng was taken aback when he heard Yang Yan suddenly address him as "father".

"Ahem~, my son, no need for such formalities, please continue your practice!"

"yes!!"

Yang Yan showed no extra expression on his face, and then returned to the courtyard to practice the marksmanship that Yang Feng had taught him.

Seeing that Yang Yan, despite his young age, was already performing with such skill, Yang Feng, standing to the side, couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
