Ding Kui had observed that small street on the way to Ruwu Tower. With his strong mental power, he found a way to other streets in other people's houses. He just wanted to get rid of the tracking and go to the clan mansion to find Shaodian secret.

The Intelligence Department has an open contact point in the clan mansion, and non-internal personnel will not be taken to their headquarters. Ding Kui does not need to go to the contact point to find Shaodian Mi. There is no reason for superiors to go to subordinates.
The Huben Commander's Office usually arranges guards to guard the clan mansion. It has an important position in the clan mansion and is right next to the Taiwei's office. When Ding Kui came to the clan mansion, the first thing he did was naturally go to see the Taiwei and then go back to himself.
of the Office.
Qiu Qiu led more than twenty officials of Huben's command and envoy's office, and lined up in two lines in front of the office to greet Ding Kui.
It was different from when Ding Kui returned to the Internal Security Department. At that time, he was not yet an adult, and his official position was only a false one. Now that he is twenty, he is a real commanding officer.
Dare to offend him.
"He is Xia Teng and she is Duan Xiu. They are both your subordinates." Qiu Qiu pointed to the man and woman behind him and introduced them to Ding Kui.
"Xia Teng (Duan Xiu) pays homage to the Commander!"
The two of them bowed deeply to Ding Kui together.
"Very well, Duan Xiu, go and call Shaodian Mi over." Ding Kui started giving orders before he even walked into the gate of the office.
"Yes!" Duan Xiu left happily, Ding Kui used her to represent a kind of trust.
In addition to the intelligence provided specifically to the king, the remaining intelligence departments must be shared with other departments, especially higher-level departments, such as Taiwei, Huben Commander, etc.
However, Shaodian Mi cannot serve these superiors at any time, and will send the deputy director or the hall master below to deal with them. Unless he is very free or wants to see the superior, Ding Kui falls into the category he is willing to meet.
When he arrived at Huben, the commander of the envoy's office, Shaodian Mi, respectfully saluted Ding Kui.
"The official Shao Dian secretly consults with the Commander-in-Chief."
There is no personal relationship allowed here. Anyone who violates the rules of the clan will be punished by the Taiwei.
"Sit down and talk." Ding Kui raised his hand to his men, "If you have nothing to do, go out and do your work."
Who can't see that the two of them are going to discuss secrets, and those who want to flatter Ding Kui can only leave first.
Ding Kui sat firmly on the throne, looked directly into Shao Dianmi's eyes, and said, "There is someone following me in the capital."
Shaodianmi stood up as if his buttocks were on fire and said eagerly: "He will definitely not be one of ours. I dare to guarantee it with my head on my neck!"
"Haha, Brother Mi misunderstood." Ding Kui suddenly laughed, "Sit down and talk. I can tell if you are from the Intelligence Department. Anyway, I have been the commander of Huben for more than two years."
"What do you mean, sir?" Shaodianmi sat down hesitantly.
"I want to know who is following me? What is their purpose? I came to the capital this time to be engaged to the eldest princess. If the people who are following me have bad intentions, then they are going against you. I don't think you will care about it.
?”
"It's okay to follow the emperor's consort. I'll arrange the manpower immediately when I get back. I'll give you a satisfactory explanation." Shaodian Mi breathed a sigh of relief. Ding Kui couldn't tell if he was pretending.
"I know it's not appropriate to ask you about the princess, but I want to get as much information about her as possible." Ding Kui still doesn't know what Shao Dian Luan looks like, although there are always people praising her appearance in front of him.
"Well, your lord's wish is human nature. Officials really cannot talk too much about matters in the palace. In fact, the one who knows the most and can talk about it is the Department of Internal Security. It is most appropriate for you to ask them." Although Shaodianmi did not reveal the information about the eldest princess.
But he showed Ding Kui a clear path.
The Department of Internal Security is much more familiar with the situation in the palace than the Department of Intelligence. Every palace is guarded by guards. Whenever a prince or princess leaves the palace, there will be guards to follow and protect him. If I want to know about Shaodian Luan, have I contacted the Department of Internal Security?
wrong.
After Shao Dianmi left, Qiu Qiu called Xia Teng and said, "My lord asked you to invite Shao Dianyin."
"It turns out that you don't hate your subordinates, and you have things to arrange for them to handle." Xia Teng's face showed joy.
"Don't think nonsense. Your Excellency is the one who leads the army. He always has clear rewards and punishments. As long as you work hard, he won't hate you." Qiu Qiu taught Xia Teng a serious lesson, resolutely maintaining the positive image of his immediate boss.
Shao Dianyin is much more difficult to invite than Shao Dian. If it weren't for his friendship with Ding Kui, Xia Teng wouldn't be able to invite him based on his reputation.
Ding Kui also left only Shao Dianyin talking in the room, and everyone else was kicked out.
"Haha, sir, if you want to know about the eldest princess, please contact me. There is a painter who once painted a portrait of the eldest princess. Please ask him to make a copy for you."
Kui feels like a confidant.
Commander Huben cannot influence the promotion of the Intelligence Department and the Internal Security Department, but he has the power to reduce part of the budget and rewards of these two departments. If he wants to keep an eye on a person, the Lieutenant will have the opportunity to fire that person.
Ding Kui was still not satisfied with the portrait of Shao Diangluan, so he asked about her living habits, daily words and deeds, personal preferences, etc.
When others asked Shaodianyin the same question, he might consider whether to tell it or not. Now that the prince-in-law inquired about the princess, he told Ding Kui everything he knew without hesitation.
In the palace, the unhappy Shao Dian Luan was lying by the window. When he saw Shao Dian Dan walking into the courtyard, he deliberately turned his head towards the house.
Shao Diandan backed away and walked into the eldest princess's boudoir alone.
"Luan'er, why don't you go learn female beauty today?" The monarch had a warm smile on his face.
"The child is a little uncomfortable." Shao Dianluan lowered his head and said.
"Haha, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"Humph, my father is asking this question knowingly." Shao Dianluan pouted.
"You still have to learn what you need to learn. The eldest princess can't even make a robe for her husband. Where can I put the dignity of the royal family?"
"Father! Why do you have to let your child marry Ding Kui? I heard from my cousin that her parents let her choose the husband of her choice, instead of just assigning someone to marry." The child's patience is not enough.
Shao Diandan frowned: It’s the Tantai family again!
"Luan'er, do you know why the Shaodian family has been able to control the kingdom for four thousand years?"
"Would it be possible for the child not to marry Ding Kui to endanger the rule of the royal family?"
Shaodiandan was not in a hurry and continued: "Since the founding of our country, countless princesses have been married to powerful people, so that many great families have the blood of the Shaodian clan; and the most prestigious families in the country often send their best daughters to the palace as queens.
With concubines and marriages between big aristocratic families, it has become difficult to separate the royal family from the most prestigious family in the country."
"As the eldest princess, I am willing to obey my father's arrangements and contribute my own strength to the interests of the royal family, but is Ding Kui worthy of your doing this? Is what those palace maids told me true?" Sixteen-year-old Shaodian Luan
I understand what Shaodiandan said.
"There are some things that it is not convenient for my father to say, but I can tell you for sure that I chose Ding Kui to be your consort entirely for your consideration. I dare not say that he is the most suitable for you in the world, but he is Gu Neng
Find the most suitable person.
I don’t know who you heard about Ding Kui from. What the palace maids told you has indeed been reviewed by the Department of Internal Affairs. They are absolutely true. After all, you are Gu’s daughter, and Gu will not let a liar stay in your home.
around.
The relationship between the Ding family and the royal family has been somewhat delicate in the past two generations, and that young man Ding Kui is very loyal to the kingdom. Just because he dared to lead a thousand troops to sneak into enemy lines and help our army win a key battle is enough to prove that he will not be motivated by personal gain.
And disregard the righteousness.
I entrust you to him and don't worry about being alone!" Shao Diandan patiently explained to his daughter.
"But some people say that he is greedy for money and lustful." Shao Dianluan stopped talking as soon as the words left his mouth.
"Hmph, you know someone is gossiping in front of you! Will a money-hungry person risk his life and fight regardless of his own safety? Will a lustful person enlist in the army less than a month after his wedding? Ding Kui, who broke through to the fearless knight at the age of nineteen
Can you be greedy for the desires of men and women?" Shaodian Dan said with a serious face, "Who told you?"
"My dear, my dear...Father! My dear, I don't want to lie in front of you." Shao Dianluan bit his lower lip.
Shao Diandan pressed his daughter's shoulders with both hands and said in a deep voice: "Ding Kui won the top ten in the national competition at the age of sixteen. After the national competition, he traveled to the Northern Kingdom. According to secret intelligence, he went to Lu State and the Gu Yuan Empire.
Have an adventure with Prince Nanping of the Ancient Yuan Empire;
When he was eighteen years old, he rushed home from the north and married Commander Long. After that, he enlisted in the army and became the first squadron leader of the first brigade of the 201st Division of the 21st Army. He rushed to the Nanma Prefecture War Zone less than half a month after forming the army.
He has been fighting for his country till now.
Gu knows everything about his experiences from birth to now. No one you know knows him better than Gu. Do you believe my father or others?"
"My child believes in my father!" Shao Diangluan said without hesitation.
Hearing his daughter's answer, Shao Diandan smiled with relief.
"Okay, ancestor loves you so much that no one objects to Gu's marriage. Is there anyone in this world who loves you more than my father and ancestor?"
At this time, Shaodian Luan was a little hesitant. Apparently after a struggle in his heart, he shook his head and said, "No."
Shaodiandan immediately understood that the person who could make his daughter behave like this was her mother-in-law, Tantai Yue.
"Don't worry, your wedding is two years from now. On the day of your coming-of-age ceremony, there will be time for you to get to know your future husband-in-law better. You can go out of the palace to walk around in your free time. Sometimes strangers speak more trustworthy words."
The eldest princess is very smart, and Shao Diandan knows that she will find out the truth of the matter by herself, and she can understand many truths with just a few clicks.
"Okay, father, I will go and learn female beauty right now." A smile finally appeared on Shao Dian Luan's face.
"Okay, okay, don't keep the teacher waiting."
When his daughter walked out of the courtyard, Shaodiandan, who had a serious face, said to himself: "The interests of the family are above all else. That's the bad thing about the princess. She ignored Gu's advice for the interests of the family. Well, that's it for other families.
You, the Tantai family, have thought too much. Even if you are granted the title of prince and ascend to the throne, you will not be able to become the elders of the Senate."
