You Jiu brought back a letter.
It's a secret report from Ying Er.
During the trip to the Imperial City, both the Black Crows and the White Crows suffered heavy losses.
There were dozens of people in total, but only four left the imperial city alive.
The rest were either caught or killed on the spot, or did not escape the subsequent manhunt.
Fortunately, Ying Er was lucky and managed to survive.
Ying Er and his companions were able to successfully escape from the imperial city thanks to the "old man" who picked them up.
It’s a pity that the old man was wearing a mask, and Ying Er did not see his true face.
However, the "old man" had a shrill voice and was most likely an old eunuch.
The leader of the White Crows respected the old man very much. This time, even though the Black Crows and the White Crows suffered heavy losses, the leader of the White Crows had no intention of blaming the old man.
...
...
Ying Er felt that the leader of the White Crows should know the old man's background.
Also, Ying Er feels that the old man controls the Black Crow and the White Crow not entirely by money, but it is a bit like the methods of some cults.
In addition, Ying Er also mentioned that the place where they obtained the powerful crossbow before the assassination was Maoer Mountain.
It is estimated that this group of people wanted to pin the assassination of Cui Wenjing and his family on Yun Zheng.
Before they left, the old man told them to lie low for the time being and focus on developing their own forces, and no one was allowed to move without orders.
At present, the old man has not appointed a new leader for the Black Crows.
All matters concerning the Black Crows and the White Crows are temporarily under the control of the leader of the White Crows.
After reading the secret report sent back by Ying Er, Yun Zheng couldn't help but feel secretly confused.
Cult methods?
This was something he had not thought of before.
However, if the old man is really an old eunuch in the palace, the scope would be narrowed a lot.
There are actually not many old eunuchs in the palace.
Eunuchs who are able to stay in the palace even when they are old basically all hold official positions.
We can ask Mu Shun to help find out who this old eunuch is.
Yun Zheng thought for a moment, and then instructed You Jiu: "Rest for two days first, and then rush to Lingzhou in the Northwest Protectorate as quickly as possible to gather intelligence about the Great Yue Kingdom!"
"yes!"
You Jiu took the order, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
It’s finally time to take action against the Otsuki Kingdom!
It's time for the Eighteen Ghost Riders to show their skills again.
Although they are now called the Eighteen Ghost Riders, there are many more people than before!
This is a good opportunity to achieve success.
"Get information, but also be careful about safety."
Yun Zheng reminded again, "The Great Yue Kingdom will definitely be on high alert, be careful!"
"yes!"
You Jiu took the order again.
"Okay, let's go back and rest first!"
Yun Zheng waved his hand gently, and You Jiu took his leave.
After You Jiu left, Yun Zheng turned his head and looked at Ye Zi beside him, "What do you think?"
"How else can this be seen?"
Ye Zi smiled helplessly, "It's obvious that the old man has felt threatened and doesn't want to attract other people's attention! In the short term, they probably won't make any moves! This is not a good thing for us, but it's not a bad thing either..."
This force chose to lie dormant, and it would definitely be more troublesome for them to track it down.
But now is the time when Yun Zheng is sending troops to attack the Dayue Kingdom. This force chooses to lie dormant, which naturally allows Yun Zheng to save some worry so that he can deal with the Dayue Kingdom with peace of mind.
It won’t be too late to find out the mastermind behind this after this battle is over.
"That's true."
Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, then reminded: "But you still have to be careful! Judging from what happened last time, the mastermind behind this may want to provoke me by assassinating you. Their target may turn to you and the children. When you go out, be sure to bring more guards."
"I'll pay attention." Ye Zi promised solemnly, then frowned and said, "Have you ever thought about the meaning of these people angering you? Is it just to make you go to war with the court?"
Ye Zi didn't quite understand this question.
If it were in the past, it would make sense for that group of people to do this.
After all, Yun Zheng’s power wasn’t that great before.
If Yun Zheng and the imperial court were to suffer losses on both sides, that group of people might be able to take advantage of the situation.
But the problem now is that Yun Zheng’s power is too great.
If Yun Zheng really went to war with the imperial court, it could be said that the imperial court would have almost no chance of winning.
Once Yun Zheng wins, even if Yun Zheng cannot find out who the mastermind is, as he said, if all his brothers are killed or exiled, wouldn't all their efforts be in vain?
“I don’t quite understand it now.”
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "For example, this time, the Black Crow and the White Crow suffered such heavy losses, but they didn't even complain. This method of controlling people's hearts is really terrifying!"
"Yes, I wonder too."
Ye Zi's face was solemn. "Black Crow and White Crow are so devoted to each other. If not for gold and silver treasures, what else could it be for? What can the people behind that old man give them?"
Faced with Ye Zi's question, Yun Zheng had no answer.
The secret report sent back by Ying Er this time revealed a lot of information.
But it also brought them a lot of confusion.
"Forget it, let's not think about it for now."
Yun Zheng shook his head. "Since they want to lie dormant, let them lie dormant! Give our people some time, maybe they can find out more information."
Since the leader of the White Crows is likely to know the old man's true identity, we can start with this person.
In any case, after this incident, they now have more breakthrough points.
After I finish the important things, I will slowly investigate this matter!
He just didn't believe it and couldn't find out the identity of the mastermind no matter how hard he tried.
"That's all we can do now."
Ye Zi sighed helplessly.
I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it.
If the manipulator behind the scenes is not caught, it will remain a hidden danger.
"Okay, you take a rest first, I'll go do something."
Yun Zheng patted Ye Zi's hand, stood up and walked out.
Soon, Yun Zheng found Wei Shuang and showed her the secret report sent back by Ying Er.
After reading it, Wei Shuang looked at Yun Zheng with some confusion, "Your Highness, don't you want me to find a way to find out the identity of this old man?"
"No, no."
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "I just showed you this letter so that you can pay more attention! The safety of the palace depends on you."
"So that's how it is."
Wei Shuang suddenly realized, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will never give those villains a chance to take advantage of me!"
"I feel relieved with what my sister-in-law said." Yun Zheng smiled, "Also, when the Suzaku Guards are secretly investigating those officials, they should also pay more attention to this information to see if this group of people has sent people to infiltrate Shuobei to serve as officials."
Although he also knew that there were too many people in this world who were good at hiding.
Even if Wei Shuang checked more carefully, he might not find anything.
But it's always good to be more careful.
If these people want to stir up trouble so much, there is no guarantee that they will not send people to Shuobei.
"Okay, I understand."
Wei Shuang nodded seriously, "I will also strictly check the people who are admitted into the Suzaku Guard."
"Um."
Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, "I'm relieved to let my sister-in-law take care of these things!"
