Jiang Wan made a quick decision: "Take a team of guards and go to Wangyue Tower."
The second floor of Wangyue Tower.
Pei Xuan, dressed in black, sat upright at the table, his jade-like fingers lightly tapping the teacup.
"How's the matter going?"
The person who answered was dressed in a smart outfit and had regular features.
"Your Highness, I have already spread the false news that I am being hunted by enemies. I expect that General Song will be able to find me by following the clues within half a month."
"very good."
Pei Xuan frowned slightly, his eyes deep and cold.
"I transferred you from the Secret Guard to get close to Song Ziyu, become his confidant, and keep an eye on the General's Mansion's every move."
"This is your ultimatum. From now on, you will be the successor of the Shen family sword, named... Shen Ci."
Shen Ci lowered his head: "Yes, Your Highness."
Pei Xuan waved his hand: "Say goodbye to your subordinates."
Shen Ci accepted the order and retreated with several men in black.
He Xingyun, who was sitting to the side, spoke up.
"Both the First Prince and the Second Prince want to bring the Song family under their control. In any case, Song Ziyu also favors the Crown Prince, so why don't you..."
“No.” Pei Xuan lowered his eyes: “Father is suspicious and cannot tolerate princes having too much personal interaction with military generals. It is too early to develop his own power now.”
Moreover, although Song Ziyu held considerable military power, he was not a righteous man.

But now the Dayong army is weak and its generals are few, and only the Song family army can stabilize the morale of the army and the people.
Therefore, Shen Ci was sent.
It served both to monitor the general's residence and to protect it.
"The inner quarters of the General's mansion have been rather unsettled lately. Song Ziyu has been demoted because of family matters, and his reputation in the court is getting worse and worse."
He Xingyun analyzed.
"If this continues, the Song family will suffer losses, which may affect Your Highness's plans."
Pei Xuan's eyes darkened.
In retrospect, it seems that Song Ziyu's downfall was all because of his wife who had returned home.
Suddenly, a commotion arose in the street.
Pei Xuan narrowed his eyes, held the fan handle, and lifted the beaded curtain to look down.
In the dark alley, Shen Ci was sparring with several of his men when a young girl walked quickly over and pointed at them.
"How dare you! Attempt an assassination in broad daylight! Men, seize these bandits!"
The spring breeze, like a pair of scissors, lifted the girl's light blue veil, revealing a beautiful and refined face.
Pei Xuan's eyes darkened.
…It's her again.
