The speed of the gold and silver unicorn is naturally much faster than that of ordinary mysterious beasts and horses. It took two sticks of incense to reach the main city of Wohua in only half a cup of tea.
The neat blue floor tiles, the spotlessly clean Ottawa Avenue, the towering gates, and the entire imperial capital exudes an aura of strength.
The Duke's Palace is located to the east of the imperial capital. Under the reflection of a number of official residences with different lintel heights, the declining Blood Sakura Duke's Palace looks like an old man in his twilight years.
Waiting for the female relatives were just two lanterns swaying in the cool night breeze.
Since all the servants have been dismissed, the only people left in the Duke's Mansion are a few slaves, Sequoia, a woman responsible for cleaning and cooking, and a watchman who cleans the stables and works part-time at night.
The huge Duke's Mansion seemed particularly deserted, and the meals prepared by the servants didn't even have any oil or water at all.
When Chi Xi saw it, without saying a word, he took the cooking woman to set up business.
"The eldest young master was selected into the Imperial Dragoon Preparatory Camp in July last year. He only has a leave every three months. The last time Madam sent a letter, it was when the young master returned home," Sequoia said from Hongling.
He already knew how Yue Jinghua and Ji Yun turned against each other. After hearing this, he couldn't help but look a little worried.
The matter of the young lady pretending to be young master Yue Chen might be able to be dealt with, but the Ji family is famous for its small belly. It would be better if Ji Yun was rescued by that strange woman. Otherwise, life in the Duke's Palace would be even more difficult.
.
"Uncle Hong, don't worry. As the soldiers come to cover up the water and the earth, I have my own way to silence the household department." Yue Jinghua was not worried about this at all. After eating the meal prepared by Chi Xi, Hongling arranged the room.
, everyone dispersed again.
Yue Jinghua still lives in the courtyard where she was a child. Although the Duke's Mansion has declined, it is quite large.
In the dead of night, Yue Jinghua left the Duke's Mansion alone.
She walked quickly along Ottawa Avenue, and finally landed in front of an inconspicuous small house.
It was already midnight, and the surrounding houses had already turned off their lights. Only this house still had a big oil lamp burning.
I saw a little old lady with white hair, sitting in front of a futon, with a sutra book in front of her, muttering words in her mouth, as if she was reciting sutras.
Yue Jinghua walked to the small house and knocked on the door. The old lady in the house didn't even raise her head, as if she was deaf.
"Selling beef?" Yue Jinghua asked.
The old lady in the room stopped chanting sutras, and then replied: "Where's the beef?"
"Mazzaro Farm," what Yue Jinghua said was the slogan left to her by the old Kuru.
"How much is a pound of beef?" The old lady had put down the scripture in her hand and looked outside the house with keen eyes.
Outside the house was a strange young man.
"A pair of eagle eyes," Yue Jinghua just finished speaking, and the old lady in the room couldn't wait to rush out.
She opened the door with agility, not like an old lady at all, "You are the apprentice mentioned in Old Kuru's letter, where is the token?"
Yue Jinghua took out the token left by Old Kulu. After seeing the token, the old lady's expression relaxed.
She ducked and let Yue Jinghua walk into the house.
Just after entering the house, the oil lamp in the house suddenly dimmed. Yue Jinghua felt that his feet were suddenly empty, and he had actually stepped into a teleportation array.
It turns out that Yue Jinghua went out late at night just to find the Imperial Intelligence Department and the Eagle Department where Old Kuru once stayed.
When Old Kuru was in the Imperial Capital of Ottawa, he was in charge of an intelligence department called the Eagle Department. It is said that although this department is affiliated with the Imperial Military Department, it is independent of the Military Department. The members inside are all very mysterious. Even the Imperial Military Department
It is also difficult to grasp all their whereabouts.
Yue Jinghua had no intention of getting involved with the people of the Eagle Division, but after arriving in the Imperial Capital and seeing the Ji family's spies, she knew that if she wanted to gain a foothold in the Imperial Capital, she couldn't do it without her own intelligence network.
Now that there is a ready-made intelligence department, she doesn't mind taking advantage of it.
This teleportation array was arranged very cleverly. Yue Jinghua was unprepared and was teleported directly into a dark forest.
Ten mysterious practitioners wearing eagle and dog pattern cloaks stood in the woods like ghosts.
Within the Eagle Department, there is a clear division of labor, and there are two types of people: Eagles and Dogs.
Eagles refer to people with hearing. They can always find out information that others don't know through various channels.
Dogs refer to people who are good at tracking. As long as a person is followed by a dog, it will be impossible to escape even to the ends of the earth.
The so-called Eagle Department exists like this.
During the day, they were said to be common people, traffickers, merchants and travelers, but at night, they transformed into members of the Eagle Department, gathering all the information they collected during the day.
"Is this the new successor of the Eagle Division chosen by the immortal Kuru?" After meeting Yue Jinghua, the mysterious practitioners wearing eagle-patterned cloaks made a noise of dissatisfaction.
Ever since that old Kulu guy left for a woman and hid in the darkness of the empire, the Eagles, known as the third ear of the empire, have been leaderless and have no leader. They are dissatisfied with each other and cannot choose.
Appoint suitable new leaders.
Just when the empire was planning to reorganize the Eagle Department, Old Kuru brought news that he had found a successor for the "Eagle Department".
"Kulu must have been stupid at Mazzaro Farm. This kid completely does not meet the recruitment standards of the Eagle Department. He is too eye-catching."
The appearance is too prominent and easily attracts attention.
"He has never learned the tracking technique. He will only hinder us when taking action."
Without tracking skills, it is easy to expose the target and even cause unnecessary trouble for the companions.
"Oh, you are so confident, are you interested in making a bet with me? If I quietly disappear beside you within three days and record all your food, clothing, housing and transportation, then can you
Are you going to accept me as the new leader of the Eagle Department?" Yue Jinghua made a gesture of silence, took out the token, and waved it in front of everyone.
"You're just kidding, you want to follow us, you're just a fledgling little brat." Everyone present was the core member of the Eagle Department. They had made a living by hiding and following us all their lives. They would never believe that they would capture a kid.
The girl's way.
No one noticed at all, and unknowingly, they had fallen into Yue Jinghua's trap.
Even the old lady who led the way didn't believe that Yue Jinghua alone could monitor them all.
"Then let's wait and see. If after three days, I clearly explain the whereabouts of each of you, you must unconditionally accept me as your new leader and obey me," Yue Jinghua smiled confidently.
