Xiao Ling also looked at Wang Wanru with an unpleasant expression: "We are both in this town, and we were played around like this!"

Zhao Ji shook his head: "If not, this journey is too quiet!"

The emperor's inn was extremely quiet at this moment. Everyone kept their mouths shut and no one wanted to break the silence.

At this time, in the emperor's inn, orders were issued one after another, asking the guards in the town and the spies in the secret to take action.

At this time, Zhao Ji approached the emperor and said in a deep voice: "Now the two of us must join forces, otherwise we will be calculated by others!"

The emperor also understood in his heart, he nodded: "Indeed!"

When Zhao Ji and the emperor joined forces, their strength became extremely powerful.

At this time, the guards in the town and the spies in the secret were also taking action.

They were all looking for the identity of the person behind the scenes, but what they didn't expect was that this person behind the scenes had been hiding in the dark for a long time.

As night fell, the atmosphere in the town became increasingly tense. The conspiracy between Zhao Ji and the emperor in the inn did not escape the people who were watching secretly. In the deep night, their enemies were like ghosts in the dark night, quietly observing their every move.

Inside the inn, Zhao Ji and the emperor both looked very solemn. They had already made a plan and were just waiting for news from the guards and spies.

At this time, Wang Wanru was forced to join the fight in fear and reluctance. Her face was pale and her eyes were filled with panic that could not be concealed.

Zhao Ji glanced at her and said coldly: "Now we are forced to walk on a dangerous road. If you can't stand firmly on our side, then we can only regard you as an enemy."

Wang Wanru's face changed when she heard this. She knew that Zhao Ji was not lying. She could only grit her teeth and force a smile to try to ease the tense atmosphere.

Outside the inn, guards and spies were moving in secret. Like night hunters, they were quietly searching for the enemy's traces. Although their steps were light, their eyes were firm and sharp.

They knew that what they were looking for was not just a person, but a conspiracy that could directly affect the emperor and Zhao Ji. Therefore, they did not dare to be careless.

In the night wind, the guards and spies moved around the town like ghosts, searching for the enemy while waiting for orders from Zhao Ji and the emperor.

While Zhao Ji and the emperor were plotting in the inn, they were also paying close attention to the movements outside. They knew that they had to catch him before the enemy made a move.

This is a race against time and a battle of wits. They must break the enemy's conspiracy, otherwise they may fall into an irretrievable predicament.

A tense atmosphere enveloped the entire town and also the hearts of Zhao Ji and the emperor.

However, they did not back down. Instead, they became more determined.

Zhao Ji looked at the emperor and said in a deep voice: "No matter how cunning the enemy is, we can't let him succeed!"

The emperor nodded slightly, his eyes firm: "Let's face this challenge together and protect our town together!"

At this time, the guards and spies in the town felt deeply pressured. They knew that the days ahead would be difficult, but they did not give up.

On the contrary, they became more determined.

In the deep night, Zhao Ji, the emperor, and all the guards and spies were united together to fight against the hidden enemy.

The enemy's plot was like a storm in the dark night, but they were not swallowed by the storm. Instead, they held on in the storm, waiting for the moment when the storm passed.

According to the clues provided by Wang Wanru, the mysterious man was contacting her using pigeons outside the city, so Zhao Ji and the emperor were waiting here.

They waited for a whole night until dawn, but still did not see the mysterious man.

During this period, Zhao Ji and the emperor exchanged many views and speculations about the conspiracy, and they agreed that this mysterious man might be related to the power struggle that the emperor had always supported.

"If our enemies are supported by external forces, then we must find out those forces in order to deal with them," Zhao Ji suggested to the emperor.

The emperor nodded in agreement, his eyes gleaming with determination: "We must face it firmly and not let our throne be threatened in any way."

In a corner of the inn, Wang Wanru listened to their conversation quietly. She had mixed feelings, both worried and expectant. She hoped that Zhao Ji and the emperor could successfully resolve this crisis, but she was also well aware of the responsibilities she shouldered.

As the sky gradually brightened, the streets of the town began to become active. The guards stepped up their patrols, and the spies also searched for possible clues among the crowd.

At this moment, a figure quietly appeared outside the window of the inn. He was dressed in black, his face was wrapped in black cloth, and only his eyes were looking through the curtain at the three people in the inn.

Zhao Ji noticed the gaze, he turned and looked out the window, meeting the man's eyes.

In just a moment, the man's figure flashed and disappeared into the night.

"We seem to have been discovered." Zhao Ji said nervously to the emperor.

The emperor frowned and said, "We must act immediately to find out the truth about the person behind this."

Zhao Ji's eyes were firm: "Yes, Your Majesty. I will personally track down this mysterious man. Please wait for my news here with Miss Wang."

The emperor nodded in agreement and watched Zhao Ji jump out of the inn and disappear into the night.

The emperor and Wang Wanru stayed in the inn in silence. They were both thinking about Zhao Ji's words and the true identity of the mysterious man.

In a corner deep in the town, a figure was waiting. He seemed to be waiting for Zhao Ji to track him down, while also planning his next move.

Zhao Ji followed the trail of the man in black, and his heart was constantly surging. He understood that he was heading towards an unknown abyss, and the man in black was the key to uncovering the truth.

During the tracking process, Zhao Ji's mind was racing. He was considering various possible situations and how to deal with the mysterious man and the forces behind him.

When the first rays of morning sun shone on the town, Zhao Ji found a dark alley. The man in black was standing there with his back to him.

"Who are you?" Zhao Ji stepped forward and asked in a deep voice.

The man in black did not answer his question, but instead asked: "What truth do you want?"

Zhao Ji's eyes turned cold: "I want to know the truth, who is the person behind you?"

The man in black smiled but did not answer his question: "You know very well that my existence is only to stir up disputes in the town. Your purpose should be to find out the power behind me."

Zhao Ji took a deep breath: "How did you know? Who is the force behind you?"
