spies
"Can you capture those people and lock them up separately without alerting others?"
Su Fangli raised his hand and pointed at a few people.
ah?
Ye Zhihui turned and looked at Su Fangli. She was hunched in a corner, her shoulders slightly hunched. Her eyes were distinctly black and white, her face was bright and lively, and she was particularly beautiful when she was openly mischievous.
Well...it's not impossible.
All thoughts and hesitations were thrown out of his mind. Ye Zhihui agreed without even asking the reason: "Okay, I'll arrange it."
Some of the people there were already in the camp, and Su Fangli had noticed them before. Some of them had sneaked in with the refugees this time.
The timing is right now. Since a group of people have suddenly appeared in the camp, capturing a few of them will not attract too much attention.
Su Fangli was confident in Ye Zhihui's work. She glanced at Ye Zhihui who had already walked away, then turned and walked towards the camp gate.
It's winter now, so there's no need to worry about floods. But in summer or autumn...
Su Fangli paused slightly.
How come you really plan to live here permanently this time? You actually think so far ahead.
"You want to go out?"
Su Fangli turned around and found that He Chenghuan had come over without her noticing.
He was wearing a dark cloak, and as he strode forward he seemed to be carrying a biting chill.
Su Fangli was stunned by his serious expression and couldn't help but take a step back.
The cloak, still warm, covered her with a strange fragrance.
"Are you cold?" the voice above asked, "It's better not to go out."
He seemed to understand Su Fangli's silence and explained, "Some alien spies entered the city yesterday. Although they are not close to here now, they should be arriving soon."
"Actually, we've arrived." Su Fangli looked up.
He Chenghuan didn't understand: "What?"
Su Fangli: "Actually, they are here, but they should have been caught by now."
He Chenghuan looked surprised.
He knew that Ye Zhihui had just arrested a few people, but he didn't expect that this was Su Fangli's intention?
How did she find out?
"What did you find?" He Chenghuan asked.
After leaving out what he couldn't say, Su Fangli said briefly, "If I'm not mistaken, there must be spies from foreign races and spies from the capital or Yunchuan City. We haven't interrogated them yet, so we're not sure."
He Chenghuan: "Did you calculate this too?"
Su Fangli: "Yeah."
He Chenghuan wanted to say something but stopped himself. After hesitating for a long time, he finally chose to believe Su Fangli.
"So when do you plan to go for the trial? How about now?" It's cold, so it's better not to wander around outside.
Su Fangli nodded, and He Chenghuan walked in front and took her to the place where people were imprisoned.
They have their own method of interrogation in their camp.
When Su Fangli and the other man arrived, the interrogation was already mostly over.
When those people were first caught, they still felt lucky, but now when they saw He Chenghuan coming, they really felt in their hearts: it's over.
Su Fangli first walked to a cell.
The person inside was very young, and the star chart above his head was very clear.
The Moon is in the Ninth House, conjunct Uranus. The Ninth House is the house of foreign lands, and if a planet is in this house, it indicates a strong connection to foreign lands. Especially if the Moon is in this house, it often indicates that the individual was born in a foreign land or has a family history of migration.
Therefore, for Su Fangli, the Dongchang people, who were a foreign ethnic group and difficult for others to distinguish, were very easy to identify in her eyes.
In this person's horoscope, the moon is in trine with Mercury, which means that he is very good at collecting information. In addition, his foreign roots mean that he is undoubtedly a spy who has come here undercover.
The man in the prison was still trying to defend himself: "I was born and raised in Yunchuan City, not some alien spy as you say. If you hadn't spread the news that Yunchuan City was going to go to war, I wouldn't have risked coming here to seek refuge. But how do you treat us refugees?"
His words were so confident that the other interrogators lost their confidence and kept looking at Su Fangli and He Chenghuan.
Su Fangli had no grudges against the aliens; he was simply trying to protect himself and avoid chaos in the area he was in. Having captured this man, he didn't want to do anything else, so he turned to look at He Chenghuan and said, "He's a spy from the aliens, but he hasn't done anything yet. Don't hurt him."
"Okay." He Chenghuan agreed happily and waved to the interrogator.
The two walked to the next room.
This room is occupied by a middle-aged man in his forties.
He huddled in the corner, motionless and unresponsive no matter what the interrogator said or did.
Su Fangli looked at the man's horoscope.
Mercury is in the twelfth house and is in opposition to Pluto. This person is very good at concealing his thoughts and is accustomed to using espionage methods to act.
Mercury corresponds to information and intelligence, Pluto symbolizes power struggle, and the twelfth house is the house of secrecy and concealment. This combination perfectly fits the fate of secret investigation.
But there was no indication of a "foreign land" in his horoscope, so he must be a spy sent from Yunchuan City or the capital.
The two looked at them one by one, and Su Fangli nodded. All the abnormal star disks she noticed in the camp were here.
She took He Chenghuan out of the cell and found a quiet corner where no one was.
"I'm more inclined to believe they were sent from the capital," Su Fangli said. The Yunchuan City Lord's Mansion was deserted, and since Lord He Chang had already fled, he naturally wouldn't bother planting spies.
He Chenghuan: "I think so too."
Plus, he found a lot of letters from the capital in the secret room of the City Lord's Mansion...
After thinking for a while, He Chenghuan said again: "I think it's the Imperial Master."
National Master?
This was the first time Su Fangli heard the word "national master" from He Chenghuan.
They had not been close before, and Su Fangli did not want to get involved in the royal feud, so she did not ask any more questions.
But she had divined for herself so many times, and many of the results indicated that this national teacher was very likely the opportunity for her to return to the modern era.
"You said before that the Imperial Master had changed the fate of your missing fiancée?" Su Fangli asked.
He Chenghuan: "Yes. I also heard from other people in the Imperial Astronomical Observatory that the Prime Minister's daughter was originally destined to be a phoenix, but for some reason, her fate was covered up and can no longer be discovered."
Su Fangli was surprised: "How could the Imperial Master have such magical powers?"
Even He Chenghuan, who did not believe in ghosts and divination, had to admit that the Imperial Master had some real skills to reach his current status and power.
He recalled his past in the Imperial City and said, "In the beginning, the Imperial Master wasn't as powerful as he is now. He was just a small Imperial Astronomical Observatory. But who knows what happened later, he predicted several natural disasters and palace tragedies in succession, and his reputation grew..."
The two looked at each other in silence for a long time.
"I have a plan, but there's one thing I need your approval for." Su Fangli said, "I'd like to borrow your identity as my fiancée."
"What?" He Chenghuan was stunned.
His heart beat so fast that he couldn't hear anything else.
Until Su Fangli continued: "This proposal is not appropriate. It doesn't matter if you refuse. I will think of other ways."
"How?" He Chenghuan asked.
"Spread the news that the former prime minister's daughter is in Yunchuan City." Su Fangli said.
He Chenghuan was surprised: "Are you sure they will believe it?"
"Of course I would believe it." Su Fangli chuckled, "Have you forgotten? It was the Lord of Yunchuan City who first released the news."
He Chenghuan suddenly realized something, but quickly continued to ask, "What are you planning to do? Are you really going to wait in the city?"
Su Fangli thought about it.
The current situation is chaotic and it is a cold winter. She can't stay in the city forever and has to find another way.
How about... opening a shop?
"If this news is released, many of the former prime minister's former subordinates will come to join us. What do you think?" He Chenghuan said.
When there are so many people, it is inevitable that some with ulterior motives will sneak in. Not only will this be of no benefit to their plans, it is likely to lead to even greater disasters.
Su Fangli didn't care: "It's okay, I have my own way to judge." You can know a person's face but not his heart, but she is different now. She can directly see a person's horoscope, which is more accurate than other identification methods.
She continued, "I plan to open a shop in Yunchuan City to tell fortunes and gather information." The aliens' target is the capital, and they will not stay in Yunchuan City for too long. Once they leave, Su Fangli can start her own plan.
He Chenghuan was stunned: "Doesn't that mean you have to stay in the store every day?"
"No, I can use other methods to tell fortunes." Su Fangli shook his head.
"You said before, what was the name of the national teacher?" She suddenly remembered something and asked.
He Chenghuan immediately replied: "He Xuanli."
Su Fangli: "What's your surname? He?"
He Chenghuan: "He is the surname bestowed upon him by the late emperor. If I remember correctly, the Imperial Master originally only had a Dharma name, and later changed his given name and surname."
"Do you still remember when it was changed?"
He Chenghuan thought for a long time before speaking uncertainly, "I only remember that less than a year after the Imperial Master changed his name, my father became seriously ill, and I was also placed under house arrest in the Eastern Palace because of...some things."
Su Fangli nodded.
She recited the questions in her mind and drew a few tarot cards.
This change of the national surname is very subtle, and it is hard for Su Fangli not to think that it is borrowing the country's fortune.
"What kind of person is the Imperial Master?"
He Chenghuan thought without hesitation: "A charlatan."
Su Fangli immediately caught the disdain in his tone: "So, it seems that you have a strong opinion about charlatans?"
He Chenghuan then remembered that the woman in front of him was actually a "charlatan".
There was a moment of awkwardness on his face.
"Not all of them." He cleared his throat and said unnaturally.
Su Fangli didn't dwell on this. After she said something to He Chenghuan, she returned to her room.
In order to avoid being displaced, the refugees she brought back were all very hardworking.
Not only did he complete all the work assigned to him, he also took the initiative to apply for materials from Ye Zhihui and built a house to live in during the winter.
The house is not big, but it has all the necessary facilities.
Su Fangli sat at the table writing and drawing.
This was not the first time she opened a fortune-telling shop, but in order to avoid working in the shop, the method and process of fortune-telling had to be changed.
Question - draw a card - solve the card, this process can be done in the form of drawing lots. But there is a problem: if the lot is drawn and there are fewer cards in the "deck", what should be done?
A few days passed like this. One evening, when Su Fangli had finished drawing the Tarot cards for opening the shop, she heard a notification coming from outside.
"Master? Master, are you free now? The Master invites you."
