The pampered heiress holds the script and leads her cannon fodder family to a counterattack.

Chapter 262 Intelligence Organization Destroyed

On the surface, Mu Yan remained calm, but inside, his mind was in turmoil.

The northern border is actually going to attack the Great Yao.

"The leader said that this matter needs to be considered carefully, after all, the cost is very high," Mu Yan said briefly.

The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. If you talk too much, people will easily see through your act.

Marquis Zhong'an looked helpless. "What else is there to consider? If we send troops to Dayao, and coordinate with them from within and without, the Dayao kingdom will surely be ours, and your northern tribes will definitely benefit greatly."

Qinghe had previously told Muyan that the envoy from the Northern Border was from the Chiling tribe.

The North is a tribal system, with each tribe being an independent government that governs different territories.

Not counting the Ruiguang tribe that Qin Xiaorong had previously destroyed, there are six other tribes in the northern border region, and the Chiling tribe is one of them.

Tribes occasionally fought each other, and the relationship was not very harmonious.

When they learned that it was the Crimson Feather Tribe that had contacted the War King, Qin Wanying and the others were quite surprised, because the Crimson Feather Tribe was not a large tribe, and they had thought that the War King would seek an alliance with a powerful tribe.

“Our Chiling tribe is already small in number. If we attack Dayao, it may bring us a devastating blow.”

Marquis Zhong'an glanced at Mu Yan and smiled.

"Let's think about it some more. I'll send someone to contact you again."

"I cannot linger here any longer, so I shall take my leave." With that, Marquis Zhong'an stood up.

Mu Yan frowned.

Is that all?

Nothing was discussed.

After much effort, they finally met with the envoy from the North, only to have him leave before they could even discuss anything.

Mu Yan suddenly realized what was happening.

He must have let something slip, allowing Marquis Zhong'an to see through his scheme.

However, now that things have come to this, we absolutely cannot let him go.

Mu Yan stood up and tried to grab his arm, but the other man was prepared and dodged her. He then desperately rushed out the door and ran to the outer room, shouting as he ran, "Come out, come out quickly!"

Upon hearing the voice of Marquis Zhong'an, the shadow guards waiting outside rushed in, some from outside the door and some from through the window.

Marquis Zhong'an finally felt more at ease.

As a result, the cabinets in the room were broken open from the inside in an instant, and several shadow guards came out and fought with the shadow guards of Marquis Zhong'an.

Several shadow guards also emerged from under the bed.

Marquis Zhong'an was greatly alarmed.

Unexpectedly, Qinghe had already betrayed him and even hid so many shadow guards to capture him!

Who is arresting him? Is it the Emperor's men?

Or perhaps the residence of the Marquis of Dingbei?

The shadow guards of Marquis Zhong'an were at a disadvantage. Mu Yan reacted quickly, darting over like a black shadow, grabbing Marquis Zhong'an's arm, and lifting him up. He pressed his left thumb on an acupoint on the back of Marquis Zhong'an's neck, and Marquis Zhong'an immediately felt numb and weak all over, unable to exert any strength.

This is a unique technique used by the shadow guards of the Marquis of Dingbei's mansion, which can subdue the enemy in the fastest possible time.

Marquis Zhong'an gritted his teeth, unwilling to accept the scene before him. The shadow guards he had brought were all lying on the ground, and Qinghe walked into his line of sight from outside.

Marquis Zhong'an forced out a few words through gritted teeth: "You wretch..."

Qinghe smiled faintly at him, her fox-like eyes appearing extremely alluring.

“A wise bird chooses a good tree to perch on; you, sir, should understand this principle better than I do,” Qinghe said.

The doors and windows had already been smashed, and the people in Yinxiao Pavilion were all extremely surprised when they saw the scene inside.

There is also a storage room inside Qinghe's room.

The inner room door was smashed to pieces, with the door panels lying on the ground, allowing Marquis Zhong'an to see directly into the storage room.

The door to the storage room opened from the inside, and a group of people walked out, dressed in blue official robes. Judging from their attire, they were from the Dali Temple.

The leader was someone Marquis Zhong'an recognized; wasn't he none other than Yue Xiuyuan, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review?

Even the people from the Dali Temple were in ambush?

It seems that the people sent by the Emperor are indeed here to gather evidence against him!

A smile appeared on Yue Xiuyuan's handsome face: "Lord Chen, I have recorded everything you just said, including your treasonous act of colluding with the enemy."

Marquis Zhong'an's face turned deathly pale.

I never expected things to turn out this way.

He had originally planned to use this intelligence agency to make a great contribution and become a superior person in the future.

As a result, he got himself involved.

Marquis Zhong'an was brought back to the Dali Temple for careful interrogation.

The shadow guards of Marquis Zhong'an were also arrested.

As a result, as soon as the man was brought back for interrogation, Marquis Zhong'an committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

The shadow guards were only responsible for protecting the safety of Marquis Zhong'an. They did not know the core information, and they did not bring the shadow guards with them when they entered Qinghe's room.

Le Xiuyuan compiled everything that Marquis Zhong'an said in Qinghe House and found that Marquis Zhong'an did not mention the War King.

Besides, the person is already dead, so there's no way to verify the story.

Qin Wanying frowned after learning the result.

Marquis Zhong'an is dead. He was the intelligence agency's only contact person, which means that the intelligence agency's leads have been cut off, and there is no way to find other intelligence personnel through Marquis Zhong'an.

However, everything has two sides. Precisely because Marquis Zhong'an was the only contact person, the intelligence agency could no longer operate after his death, which was equivalent to the intelligence agency being destroyed.

This time, they were unable to gather concrete evidence of the War King's treason.

However, Qin Wanying didn't expect that collecting evidence would be enough to bring down the War King.

The War King isn't stupid. It's impossible for him to drink a cup of poisoned wine just because there's solid evidence, nor is it possible for him to obediently return to the capital for trial.

In the not-too-distant future, a war is inevitable.

However, this time they obtained very important intelligence.

The War King intends to unite with the Crimson Feather Tribe to attack Dayao.

Qin Wanying found it unbelievable.

Why did the War King unite with the weak Crimson Feather Tribe to attack the Great Yao?

Why not find a strong ally?

She called Mu Yan over.

Mu Yan was the one who spoke with Marquis Zhong'an at close range on the spot; perhaps he could discover some clues.

After Marquis Zhong'an was captured, Mu Yan apologized to Qin Wanying.

He felt that he had done something wrong, that he must have misacted or said something wrong, which was why Marquis Zhong'an realized something was amiss; otherwise, he could have gotten more information out of him.

Qin Wanying and Xiao Jiye didn't blame him. They really didn't have enough information and were prone to saying the wrong thing.

Mu Yan had tried to speak as little as possible, but this still happened.

Qin Wanying, Xiao Jiye, and Mu Yan reviewed their conversation from that day.

The group tried to find some clues and deduce the enemy's true plan.

Qin Wanying held the conversation recorded by Le Xiuyuan in her hand.

[Mu Yan: "The master is here."]

[Lord Zhong'an: "I wonder what your tribe's plans are regarding the attack on Dayao?"]

[Mu Yan: "The leader said that this matter needs to be considered carefully, as the cost is very high."]

[Lord Zhong'an: "What else is there to consider? If we send troops to Dayao, and coordinate from within and without, Dayao's empire will surely be ours, and your northern tribes will certainly reap the benefits."]

[Mu Yan: "Our Chi Ling tribe is already small in population. If we attack Da Yao, it might bring us devastating damage."]

Then, Marquis Zhong'an was about to leave.

The three of them looked at the conversation repeatedly, but still couldn't figure out what the problem was.

Mu Yan recalled the scene from that day, and the scene reappeared in his mind.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, I think I know where the problem lies."
