The imperial general had just read the simple contents of the secret letter, and his curious expression suddenly changed, and he seemed to be particularly shocked!
"Is this the letter you got from the demon spies in Iron Wolf Village?" the imperial general asked in surprise.
"Yes, I feel that this matter is very important, so I asked the general to help me clear up my doubts." Li Ming nodded.
"You've done a good job. This matter is indeed very important, and you can't let other people know about it! Once this matter leaks out, the person who wrote this letter will definitely find a way to cover up the evidence!" The Imperial General frowned and said.
"General, judging from your appearance, it seems that you have known for a long time that there are demon spies in the temple?" Li Ming asked doubtfully.
"This secret is not only known to the general, but also within the royal family. It has been suspected for a long time. Every time we fight against the demons, the other party always knows some of our information in advance, and they are all very core secrets. We have also started
Pay attention to the situation inside the temple. The discovery of your secret letter only confirms that there are people inside the temple and among the high-ranking priests who are colluding with the demons." said the Imperial General.
"I see... General, can't you use this secret letter to find out the information about the hidden enemy?" Li Ming asked.
"Young man, you have a good idea, but you have to know that the temple is the guardian of our empire and even the royal family. Even if we suspect that there is an enemy traitor in the temple, there is no conclusive evidence and we cannot arbitrarily doubt a certain high-level official.
Priest." The Imperial General shook his head and said.
"Are you saying that the evidence in this confidential letter is not enough and that more favorable evidence must be obtained?" Li Ming asked.
"That's it. We must find out which priest is causing the trouble in secret before we can raise questions to the temple. Otherwise, taking out this secret letter rashly will only alert the other party. It will be difficult to find any clues about him in the future.
." said the Imperial General.
"I understand..." Li Ming frowned. The effect of this confidential letter is indeed limited...
"Young man, I didn't expect you to find such evidence. Maybe you can help the general do more. I wonder if you are willing to keep the secret and continue to help the general track it down?" the imperial general asked with a smile.
"But my strength is limited. I'm afraid I don't have the ability to handle such a big thing." Li Ming said.
"Don't worry, the general will not let you take risks on difficult matters. The general is also worried that these things will be leaked too early. You only need to secretly accept my order and help the empire find out the existence of this traitor."
The Imperial General smiled and waved.
Ding... System: Congratulations to the player, you have successfully triggered the hidden plot mission [Temple Suspicion], the first step [Secret Collusion of Secret Agents], would you like to accept the request of the Imperial General to help him secretly continue to detect clues about the enemy?
?
…
accept!
Seeing the system task prompt pop up suddenly, Li Ming immediately chose to confirm.
There are definitely a lot of benefits to such a mission, and if you don't accept it, you will be giving other players an advantage...
"Very good. Your bravery has exceeded my expectations. Since you are willing to continue to help me find out the truth about the traitor, we have to explore slowly step by step. Now you have obtained this secret from the demon spies outside the city.
It can be seen that the demons have ambushed many spies in our territory. They are always paying attention to the situation of our empire and continue to obtain the secrets of the empire from this traitor. This matter must be solved as soon as possible. Therefore, this general still
I hope you will continue to investigate according to the clues in this secret letter..." the imperial general said happily.
Ding... System: Congratulations to the player. You have successfully gained the trust of the Imperial General. The mission [Temple Suspicion: Pursuing the Secret Agent] is officially launched: The General asks you to continue to investigate possible spy nests in all maps near the Imperial City.
, find ways to obtain more spy information. This mission is a cumulative reward mission. Every spy nest you discover will increase your mission reward. The more spy nests you discover, the more generous rewards you will receive.
!
Reminder: This mission is valid for one week. The timer starts after accepting the mission and ends at the end of the mission time. The rewards will be evaluated based on the number of discoveries you make. Please be sure to pay attention to the mission time and hurry up to explore!
…
Whoosh!
The system information appears again, Li Ming's taskbar shines with golden light, and new tasks appear.
This time there is no reward prompt in the mission information, only a countdown red time number that is jumping rapidly...
This is a deadline collection mission. As long as Li Ming continues to explore the wild map during the mission deadline, and the more and more detailed demon spy lairs he discovers, he will be able to obtain higher rewards.
It can be seen that outside the Imperial City of Destiny, the demons have hidden too many spy nests, spying on all the important information of the Destiny Empire!
Now Li Ming has completely understood the requirements of this mission. Iron Wolf Village is one of the spy lairs. It seems that he has to go back and lie down even if he has completed the exploration of one of the spies' lairs.
"Young man, this matter is very important. You must explore carefully. When all your findings are reported, this general will find a way to eradicate the nests of these demon spies. While looking for clues about the traitors, we can also ensure the safety outside the imperial city.
." The imperial general said with satisfaction.
"General, wait a minute, I have one more thing to do." Seeing that he was about to end the conversation, Li Ming said quickly.
"Do you have any questions?" the imperial general asked curiously.
"I would like to ask, General, have you heard of the name Hidden Sword Village?" Li Ming asked.
He saw that the general seemed to be over 50 years old. Maybe he could know something about the Hidden Sword Village that was wiped out 30 years ago.
"Hidden Sword Cottage? This is a forging family that used to belong to our Imperial Regiment. It specializes in helping the Imperial Regiment build weapons and armor. Why do you suddenly ask about them?" the Imperial General asked curiously.
"You really know about the Hidden Sword Village! That's great. The general should also know what happened in the Hidden Sword Village, right?" Li Ming asked excitedly and gratefully.
"General, I joined the army when I was young. Of course I know about the Cangjian Village, which is famous for making heavy swords and armors. However, after so many years, the Cangjian Village seems to have stopped providing weapons and equipment to the Imperial Regiment, and no one mentioned it anymore.
The copycat exists." The Imperial General said.
"The general doesn't know that the Hidden Sword Village was massacred 30 years ago, and the entire village died!" Li Ming said.
"There is still such a situation...but this kind of matter is the responsibility of the city lord. I am only managing the army and have no knowledge of the whole matter." The imperial general said in surprise.
"I understand what you mean. The murder in Hidden Sword Village is the responsibility of the city lord's palace, and the army will not interfere in this matter." Li Ming knew that the next step was to go to the city lord.
"Wait a minute. Can you tell me what is going on in the Hidden Sword Village?" the imperial general asked.
