Alliance: A Great Compassion Mantra, I make the whole network autistic

Chapter 752 Pursuit
When the young traveler asked in the armory, a soldier who was wiping his weapons whispered to him: "I once accidentally saw a batch of weapons being quietly taken away late at night. They said it was a routine inspection, but I don't think it's that simple."

All the clues came together and pointed to a person who should not have been a suspect - the queen.

When the four of them reunited and exchanged their information, Su Ye looked solemn, "We must act with caution. If there is a conspiracy behind the queen, it may involve more than just the safety of the royal city."

"No matter what, we must first see the queen with our own eyes and see her true face." The young traveler looked determined, as if he had made up his mind mentally.

Qi Meng sighed and looked at Youying, "Then let's go to the center of this chess game and see what kind of calculations the final chess player has."

The night wind blew, bringing with it an unknown chill. The palace was still brightly lit, but in this light, the shadows seemed even thicker. The four set out on the road to the queen's residence, and every step seemed extremely heavy, because they knew that what was waiting for them ahead would be the unveiling of all the secrets, but it could also be a deeper trap.

"Are you ready to face the toughest challenge?" Su Ye asked softly, more as a reminder to himself.

"Always prepared." The young traveler answered, his tone full of determination and his eyes shining with an unyielding light.

As they were walking, a patrolling guard saw them passing by and couldn't help but whisper, "I heard that those bright sentinels are investigating something important in the palace. It's really exciting!"

"Isn't it? Especially that young traveler. I heard that he turned the situation of the battle around by himself. I really want to know who he is." Another guard took over, his words full of admiration for the young traveler.

Their conversation drifted into the ears of the four people, easing the tense atmosphere a little. Qi Meng smiled slightly and said to the young traveler: "It seems that you already have a fan."

The young traveler scratched his head sheepishly, but the smile in his eyes grew even brighter: "This shows that our efforts are noticed by others."

Finally, the group arrived at the Queen's residence, which was heavily guarded. The guards looked solemn, and they obviously knew what they were here for. After stating their identities and undergoing a strict examination, they were allowed to enter the Queen's private reception room.

The interior was decorated ornately, but the atmosphere was unusually heavy. The queen sat at one end of the long table with a cold face and eyes like bottomless lakes as she examined the four uninvited guests in front of her.

"What brings you here so late at night?" The queen's voice was cold but majestic, making it difficult to understand.

Su Ye took a step forward, his voice steady and firm: "Regarding the recent assassination, we have reason to believe that it is related to the palace. Your maid and private study seem to be hiding some secrets, and we hope to get an explanation."

The queen's eyes flickered slightly, and then she opened her red lips and said, "The light sentinels are indeed perceptive, but are you too rash to point your suspicion to the owner of the palace?"

"We are only seeking the truth, no matter where it lies," Shadow added calmly, his eyes fixed on the queen's face, trying to capture any subtle changes in her expression.

At this time, the queen smiled gently, and the smile seemed particularly mysterious under the light: "Then please follow me and let me show you my innocence."

She stood up and led them through a series of dim corridors, finally stopping in front of a seemingly ordinary wall. The queen reached out and touched a hidden mechanism on the wall, and a stone slab slowly moved away, revealing the entrance to a secret room.

"This is where I store my books, and it's also a quiet space for me to think about problems," the queen said, stepping into the secret room and motioning for everyone to follow.

There were various books and scrolls in the secret room. On the table in the middle were letters spread out. The queen pointed to them and said, "These are anonymous threatening letters I have received in recent months. The letters mentioned that if I don't act as requested, it will be detrimental to my dear king and the palace."

Everyone looked at each other, obviously not expecting such a reversal. The young traveler picked up a letter and read it carefully, frowning: "Why wasn't this information made public before?"

"I am worried about causing unnecessary panic, and I am also secretly looking for the mastermind behind this." The queen replied, with a trace of barely perceptible pain in her eyes. "Now, your arrival may be the turning point."

After leaving the secret room, the sky outside the palace had already turned pale, and the four people's moods were like the light of dawn. Although there were still many fogs, there was more hope that the clouds would clear and the sun would appear.

"This meeting gave us more clues, but also brought new mysteries." Su Ye pondered, his eyes far-reaching.

"That's right, at least now we know that the real enemy is hiding deeper and more cunning." Qi Meng added.

The young traveler looked towards the morning sun in the east and said firmly: "No matter what kind of power is hidden behind this, as long as we, the Light Sentinels, are united, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome."

“And the manipulating hand will eventually be exposed.” Shadow’s words sounded like a preview of the future.

As the first rays of sunlight filled the palace, the four stood side by side, their shadows stretched out, drawing the outline of indomitable spirit and determination on the ground. The tranquility of the palace was broken again, but this time, it was the power of light that was surging, ready to uncover all the haze and return true peace to this land.

Every corner of the palace seemed to be filled with an atmosphere of uneasiness. Even in the daytime, the feeling of undercurrents could not be dissipated. Su Ye, Qi Meng, You Ying and the young traveler gathered in a secret room. A map was spread out on the table, marking the key locations inside and outside the palace.

"According to the information provided by the Queen, those threatening letters are most likely the source of all the chaos." Su Ye frowned and tapped the table lightly with his fingers. "But we can't completely rule out her suspicion. After all, the most dangerous place is often the safest."

"Indeed, we need more evidence." Qi Meng nodded in agreement. Her eyes were sharp, as if they could penetrate the thick fog. "Those letters should be sent to a handwriting expert. Perhaps some clues can be found from them."

"And I want to further explore that secret passage." The young traveler suggested, his tone full of eagerness. "If it is true as the guards said, it can lead to the outside world, then if we control its other end, perhaps we can follow the clues to find the enemy's lair."

"I agree." Shadow's deep voice sounded, "I will assist you and keep an eye out for any signs of covert activities. Since the enemy can arrange such a thorough ambush, there must be other undiscovered bases." Just as the four were discussing the plan, a servant rushed in in a panic, his face pale: "Oh no, the queen suddenly fainted, the royal doctors are doing their best to treat her!"

This news was like a bolt from the blue, interrupting the meeting. Su Ye stood up suddenly, his eyes sharp: "Let's go and check the situation. If the queen is really innocent, then her attack may mean that the enemy can't wait to take action."

When they arrived at the queen's bedroom, the scene was in chaos. The royal doctors gathered around the bed, frantically performing first aid. Su Ye pushed the crowd aside and saw that the queen was pale and her lips were blue, obvious signs of poisoning.

"What's going on?" he demanded, his anger barely concealed in his tone.

An elderly imperial physician wiped his sweat, looked up and answered: "It seems to be a chronic poison that has been invading for a long time and suddenly broke out this morning. We are trying our best, but this..."

"Investigate, thoroughly investigate all the sources of food and drinks!" Su Ye ordered the guards around him, then turned to Qi Meng and You Ying, "This is most likely a warning from the enemy, intended to stop our investigation or divert attention."

“Then we must speed up our pace.” The young traveler said firmly, tightening his grip on the iron rod in his hand. “Whoever wants to harm our friends must face the wrath of the Sentinel of Light.”

"Split up and find out all the clues as soon as possible." Su Ye quickly assigned tasks, "Qimeng, you and I will track down the weapons that were transported away late at night; Youying and young traveler, you continue to explore the secret passage and pay attention to the queen's safety."

After splitting up, they began to search everywhere in the palace. Qi Meng and Su Ye questioned the guards and tracked the carriages, and finally found the missing weapons in an abandoned warehouse on the edge of the royal city. There were vague traces of suspicious people entering and leaving the warehouse, which was obviously a temporary base.

At the same time, the young traveler and the shadow discovered an underground organization disguised as a caravan at the end of the secret passage. They not only hid weapons, but also secretly spread rumors of subverting the royal power. All clues pointed to a mysterious organization code-named "Shadow Parliament".

Night fell again, and the four of them gathered again to exchange the information they had obtained. Su Ye clenched his fists, and his voice trembled with suppressed anger: "'Shadow Council', how dare they be so arrogant, we will uproot them!"

"But first, we have to ensure the queen's safety." Qi Meng reminded, her eyes revealing deep worry, "If she is innocent, her life safety is now our greatest responsibility."

"That's right, and the queen's coma is also a threat to the stability of the situation." Shadow added, "We need to find a way to detoxify. Maybe those anonymous letters can provide some clues."

The young traveler nodded, his tone full of determination: "No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we must reveal the truth and protect the peace of this land."

When the meeting ended, the moonlight was like water, quietly shining on their tense and determined backs. Just as they were about to set out on their journey again, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door, and a guard hurried over with a happy face: "Good news, the queen has woken up! And she is willing to provide us with information that we didn't know before. She said it's time to reveal all the secrets."

The four of them smiled at each other, and at that moment, their hearts were filled with unprecedented hope and strength. They knew that the calm before the war was just the prelude to the storm, but as long as they worked together, nothing was invincible.

"Hurry up, let's go see the queen right away." Su Ye said impatiently, his eyes flashing with determination. The four of them quickly rushed to the queen's bedroom. The guards and maids they met on the way all cast surprised glances at them, and whispered to each other with praise for these young warriors.

"Look, those are the Sentinels of Light! These are the ones they are talking about, they are so heroic." A guard whispered to his companion, his tone full of awe.

"Yes, I heard that they uncovered many hidden corners of the palace last night. I wonder what big moves they will make now." The guard next to him said, his eyes flashing with curiosity and anticipation.

When they arrived at the queen's bedroom, they found that the queen had sat up. Although her face was still pale, the determination in her eyes was moving. Seeing Su Ye and others, she smiled and nodded. That smile revealed a strength that could not be ignored in her weakness.

"Everyone, thank you for arriving on time. I know you have many questions. Now, let me tell you everything." The queen's voice was weak, but it was clearly heard throughout the room.

"For a long time, the 'Shadow Council' has been trying to control our country, and I, as the queen, have always been a thorn in their side. These anonymous letters are evidence that they are trying to coerce me." She pointed to the pile of letters on the table, her tone heavy.

"But I never gave in, so they had to resort to more direct measures, including the recent assassination and the poisoning of me last night." When she said this, a trace of grief and anger flashed in the queen's eyes.

The young traveler took a step forward and said firmly, "Your Majesty, we, the Sentinels of Light, swear to protect your safety and we will also completely eradicate the Shadow Council."

"Thank you very much." The queen bowed slightly, then pointed to an inconspicuous small box on the table. "I obtained this from a secret channel. It is said to be a very rare antidote, but the production method is only known by the core members of the Shadow Council. I originally planned to use it as bait to lure the snake out of its hole, but now it seems that I must use it to save my life."

Su Ye took the box and said in a deep voice: "We will definitely find a way to detoxify and uncover all the secrets of the 'Shadow Council'. However, before that, please be sure to strengthen your own security protection."

"Don't worry, I've made arrangements." The queen said with a smile, her eyes revealing her trust in the Sentinel of Light.

Leaving the Queen's chamber, the four of them had mixed feelings. The young traveler looked at his companions and said seriously, "We can't delay any longer. We must split up and find the formula for the antidote while destroying the 'Shadow Council'."

"I agree. Qi Meng and I will track down the clues of the antidote, and the young traveler and Youying will continue to investigate the 'Shadow Council' in depth." Su Ye made a quick decision, with determination in his eyes.

"Then let's start now." Qi Meng nodded, with fighting spirit flashing in her eyes, and turned to leave.

As the night deepened, every action in the palace was given urgency and mission. Passersby talked about it, and their amazement, admiration, and even worry turned into an invisible force, pushing the sentinels of light forward.

"Look, they are the warriors that the queen talks about who can change destiny." A palace maid whispered to her companion, her eyes full of admiration.
