In a mansion not far from Anyi Marquis's residence, a thin middle-aged man asked a woman in a deep voice, "Do you have a woman of good looks and talent?"

The woman frowned and asked, "Are you planning to send someone to participate in the selection and then enter the palace to assassinate the Emperor of Han?"

The middle-aged man then said, "Let's not discuss whether to assassinate them or not. If we can send our Shadow Guards into the palace, it will be much easier for us to do whatever we want to do in the future."

The Shadow Guard is the intelligence agency of the State of Jin. The middle-aged man and the woman are both spies sent by the Shadow Guard to Anyang City.

The woman pondered for a moment and said, "I do have a beautiful and talented girl named Xiang'er. I originally wanted to train her to be the top courtesan of Ruoxuan Pavilion.

But if we want to send her to the palace now, we have to arrange for her to have a clean family background."

The middle-aged man immediately said, "I will take care of your identity, but it's not easy to be selected into the palace."

The woman said confidently: "If you meet Xiang'er, you won't have such worries.

As long as you can resolve the identity issue, Xiang'er will definitely be selected. I am very confident of this."

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Okay, I will get her a new identity as soon as possible and arrange for her to participate in the selection of the capital city."

The woman then asked, "Has the news that the Emperor of Han is going to lead the army in person spread back home?"

"People back home have already heard about this."

"Do you think our Jin State, and the newly allied Teng State, will take advantage of this opportunity to attack Han?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Such national affairs are not something that people like us can know about.

However, according to my analysis, our Jin State has just conquered the Wanxiang State, and it is unlikely that they will resort to force against the Han State in the short term."

The woman sighed and said, "Then our undercover mission must continue.

I don't know how long we have to hide, we can't stay in Han for the rest of our lives!"

The middle-aged man said somewhat sadly: "Since we have joined the Shadow Guard and have been sent to the Han Kingdom, there is no possibility of quitting.

Perhaps in this lifetime, we will never have the chance to set foot on the land of Jin again."
