Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

Fang Yue knew very well that in order to uncover this conspiracy thoroughly, he had to remain silent and investigate secretly.

At the critical moment of setting up the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Locking Array, these people must be captured in one fell swoop to eliminate future troubles once and for all.

He suppressed his anger and said to Zhao Rui and Li Feng: "Your Highness, General Li, the situation here is urgent. First comfort the people and treat the injured. I will find out the truth as soon as possible."

After saying that, he began to command the soldiers to carry out rescue work in an orderly manner.

After the situation on the scene stabilized, Fang Yue returned to his tent and immediately summoned his trusted generals.

The more years these generals followed Fang, the more loyal they became, and each of them was meticulous and skilled in martial arts.

Fang Yue informed them in detail of his findings at the explosion site and his suspicions about Zhao Rui and others, and then said:

"This is by no means accidental. There must be a bigger force behind this. We must act carefully and investigate secretly to find out who is behind this and their conspiracy without alerting the enemy."

The generals took orders and took quick action.

Along the way, the generals disguised themselves and blended into the market, asking around for unusual movements in the martial arts world recently, especially news related to the assassin organization.

The other team was responsible for monitoring the every move of Zhao Rui, Li Feng and Wei Jinzhong, and paying close attention to their contact with the outside world.

Another group of generals relied on their connections in the military to conduct an in-depth investigation into the recent allocation of resources within the imperial city, especially clues related to the high explosives used in the explosion.

After several days of secret investigation, news came one after another from generals.

The general in charge of investigating the assassin organization discovered that these assassins did come from a mysterious organization called "Blood Shadow Hall", which was famous for undertaking difficult assassination missions and acting in an extremely secretive manner.

For this assassination, the Blood Shadow Hall received a huge reward, and the way the reward was delivered was extremely complicated. After being passed through many hands, it finally pointed to a mysterious man in black.

Unfortunately, the clues end here and the identity of the man in black is mysterious and difficult to track down.

The general who was monitoring Zhao Rui and others brought important clues.

They discovered that Zhao Rui had been meeting frequently with a mysterious man in black robes recently. Each meeting was held in an extremely secret location, and the surrounding area was full of secret sentries.

Although he couldn't get close enough to hear their conversation, judging from Zhao Rui's respectful attitude towards the man in black robe, this person was definitely not an ordinary person.

The generals investigating resource allocation also made important discoveries.

By carefully checking various material records, they discovered that a huge amount of high explosives had recently been secretly taken out from a secret warehouse in the imperial city.

The official in charge of warehouse management disappeared mysteriously shortly after the explosives were stolen.

All signs indicate that this was all a carefully planned conspiracy.

Fang Yue put these clues together and gradually formed a rough outline in his mind.

He realized that the power behind this conspiracy was not simply a power struggle within the royal family, but was likely to involve infiltration by external forces.

And that mysterious man in black robe is most likely the key figure connecting the various forces.

In order to further find out the truth, Fang Yue decided to take action himself.

He used his superb stealth skills and sneaked into the place where Zhao Rui and the man in black robe often met late one night.

Sure enough, not long after, Zhao Rui and the man in black robe appeared at the agreed location. Fang Yue hid in the dark, holding his breath, trying to listen to their conversation.

"Master in black robe, Fang Yue has already become suspicious of us. What should we do next?" There was a hint of anxiety in Zhao Rui's voice.

The black-robed man sneered and said, "What are you afraid of? Even if he suspects us, what can he do to us without solid evidence?
The Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Locking Formation is about to be completed, and we don't have much time left. You must continue to prepare according to the plan, and the next operation must be successful. Don't let Fang Yue ruin our great cause."

"But Fang Yue is very powerful and has many confidants around him, so it is difficult for our assassins to get close to him." Zhao Rui looked embarrassed.

"idiot!"

The black-robed man shouted angrily, "I will send you some more masters. This time, we will start at the launching ceremony of the Heaven Sealing and Earth Locking Array. At that time, all the masters of Wei will be present. In the chaos, Fang Yue will not be able to escape.

As long as Fang Yue dies, the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Locking Formation will not be able to be activated smoothly, and the Great Wei will be within easy reach."

Hearing this, Fang Yue's mind suddenly became clear, and at the same time he realized the urgency of the situation.

He didn't dare to stay any longer, so he quietly left the ambush site and returned to the tent.

As soon as he returned to the tent, Fang Yue immediately summoned his trusted generals and informed everyone of what he had overheard.

After hearing the news, the generals were all filled with righteous indignation, and they all requested to take immediate action against Zhao Rui and others to stop their conspiracy.

Fang Yue raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Don't act rashly. Although we already know their plan, if we act now, we will not have enough evidence to convince everyone.

Secondly, the forces behind them may have other plans.

We must take advantage of their own tricks and make them think that the conspiracy is still under control, and then we will catch them all at the launching ceremony of the Heaven Sealing and Earth Locking Array."

Since these people decided to wait until the formation was completed before taking action, he was happy to do so.

He also needs it during this period of time, otherwise it would be very easy to get rid of these people now.

But who knows what other conspiracies these rats hiding in the dark may have.

Fang Yue continued, “During this period, we must not only be prepared to deal with their assassinations, but also further explore the forces behind them.

The hidden forces behind this may be complicated, and we cannot just be satisfied with catching these jumping clowns in front of us." He looked at the general in charge of investigating the assassin organization and said, "You should keep in close contact with the 'Blood Shadow Hall' and try to get more information about their employers, including other possible accomplices.

At the same time, try to find out what other potential pawns they have in Wei, and maybe find out some traitors hiding in the dark who are providing them with conveniences."

He also instructed the generals responsible for monitoring Zhao Rui and others: "Pay close attention to the financial transactions of Zhao Rui, Li Feng and Wei Jinzhong to see if they have other secret financial support. This may help us find more behind-the-scenes culprits.

In addition, by observing their contacts with officials in the DPRK, we may be able to find some people whose positions have wavered and who have been wooed by them.”

Then, Fang Yue said to the generals who were investigating the allocation of resources: “Continue to dig deeper into the source of that batch of explosives to see if you can find evidence of collusion with external forces, such as whether the production site of the explosives is related to foreign forces.

At the same time, keep an eye on the movements of other important materials inside and outside the Imperial City to prevent them from using other means to create chaos during the ceremony."

After making all the arrangements, Fang Yue looked at everyone solemnly and said, "We must make this operation foolproof.

The Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Locking Formation is the last hope for Wei to resist the tide of demons, and it must not fail because of these conspiracies.

We must not only ensure that the formation is launched smoothly, but also completely eradicate this evil force and ensure long-term peace and stability in the Wei Kingdom."

The generals looked determined and responded in unison: "General, rest assured, we will not fail in our mission!"

During the intense preparation days that followed, all parties took action at full speed.

The general who was in charge of contacting the insider of "Blood Shadow Hall" sent a message, and the insider informed them.

The action of "Blood Shadow Hall" this time is not only for the high reward, there seems to be a more ambitious plan behind it, involving the infiltration and destruction of multiple important strongholds of Wei Dynasty, and is not limited to the assassination of Fang Yue and the destruction of the Sealing Heaven and Locking Earth Array.

In addition, the insider also mentioned that the "Blood Shadow Hall" was colluding with a bandit force on the southern border of the Wei Dynasty, preparing to create border riots on the day of the ceremony to disperse the Wei Dynasty's military forces.

After Fang Yue learned about this, he immediately arranged for a team of elite troops to go to the southern border to secretly monitor the movements of the bandits and contact the local garrison to have them step up their vigilance and be ready to respond to possible attacks at any time.

At the same time, he asked the general to continue to maintain close communication with the insider to obtain more information about the potential pawns of the "Blood Shadow Hall" within the Wei Dynasty.

The general in charge of monitoring Zhao Rui and others discovered that Zhao Rui transferred a large amount of funds through a secret bank. After layers of investigation, it was found that the funds eventually flowed to a mysterious overseas organization.

Moreover, they also noticed that Zhao Rui had frequent contacts with several officials in the court in charge of intelligence work. The recent behavior of these officials was very suspicious, and they seemed to be secretly collecting some intelligence about the military deployment and defensive weaknesses of the Wei Dynasty.

Fang Yue took decisive action. He temporarily transferred these officials from their original positions on the pretext of investigating other cases, and arranged for his confidants to take over their work.

At the same time, he asked the surveillance generals to continue to dig deeper into Zhao Rui's connection with overseas organizations, trying to find more accomplices of this overseas organization in the Wei Dynasty.

The generals who were investigating the allocation of resources brought good news. They successfully traced the source of the production of explosives, which turned out to be a secret workshop located in the northwestern mountainous area of ​​Wei. The sponsor behind this workshop was none other than the Demonic Shadow Society.

They also discovered that in addition to explosives, the workshop was secretly producing a hidden weapon that could interfere with the flow of vital energy, which would be used to deal with the masters of the Wei Dynasty during the ceremony.

Fang Yue immediately dispatched a strong team, which quickly destroyed the workshop, seized all the hidden weapons produced, and arrested the relevant personnel.

At the same time, the conspiracy of the Demon Shadow Society and Zhao Rui and others to assassinate the Queen of Wei, Zhu Linlang, is proceeding in full swing.

They knew very well that once the empress died, the Wei Dynasty would be leaderless. This would undoubtedly be a great opportunity for them to overthrow the Wei regime and realize their own ambitions.

As a member of the royal family, although Zhao Rui appears to be loyal to the Wei Dynasty, he has actually already secretly colluded with the Demon Shadow Society and has become their right-hand man within the Wei Dynasty.

He used his identity and status to continuously provide intelligence and convenience to the Demon Shadow Society, helping them to deploy spies in the Wei territory and plan various conspiracies.

With the secret assistance of the Demon Shadow Society, Zhao Rui began to prepare intensively for the assassination of the Wei Empress Zhu Linlang. He knew that this was a gamble with extremely high risks but also extremely rich rewards. Once successful, the Wei regime would fall completely into their hands.

Zhao Rui dispatched a top expert from the Demon Shadow Society, named Shadow Assassin, who was good at hiding and killing with one strike. Shadow Assassin accepted Zhao Rui's secret order and began to sneak into the imperial city secretly, looking for the best time to assassinate the empress.

The shadow assassin was like a ghost in the night, shuttling silently in the imperial city, looking for the opportunity to kill with one strike. He knew that this mission was not only about his own life and death, but also about the success or failure of the entire plan of the Demon Shadow Society and Zhao Rui. Therefore, he took every step very carefully, and controlled every breath just right, for fear of attracting any unnecessary attention.

At the same time, Fang Yue also realized the huge threat facing the empress. He strengthened the guards in the imperial city and personally led an elite force to patrol day and night to ensure the safety of the empress. He also ordered that any suspicious person must be strictly interrogated and no clues that may threaten the safety of the empress must be missed.

However, the Shadow Assassin's concealment skills were so superb that he seemed to blend into the night, making it difficult for Fang Yue's guards to detect him. He waited patiently, looking for the perfect opportunity to assassinate.

Finally, on a stormy night, the shadow assassin found his chance. The empress was busy with state affairs and was still reviewing memorials in the imperial study late at night. At this time, there were only a few guards patrolling outside the imperial study, and because of the bad weather, their attention was also distracted.

The shadow assassin took this opportunity to quietly approach the imperial study. He used his superb skills to easily avoid the guards' sight and sneak into the imperial study.

At this time, the empress was concentrating on reviewing the memorials, and had no idea that danger was approaching. The shadow assassin approached her silently, the dagger in his hand flashing with cold light, ready to give the empress a fatal blow.

However, at this critical moment, Fang Yue suddenly appeared behind the Shadow Assassin. He had noticed the Shadow Assassin's presence at some point and had been following him in secret, waiting for the moment when he would reveal his flaws.

"Bold assassin, how dare you to plot against this!" Fang Yue shouted angrily, and the long sword in his hand was instantly unsheathed, pointing directly at the vital points of the shadow assassin.

Seeing this, the shadow assassin had to give up the plan to assassinate the empress and turned around to fight with Fang Yue. The two figures moved quickly in the imperial study, with swords flashing and sword energy running wild.

After a fierce battle, Fang Yue gradually gained the upper hand with his profound martial arts and extraordinary wisdom. Although the shadow assassin was extraordinary, he gradually became powerless under Fang Yue's pressure.

"Who are you? Why do you want to assassinate the empress?" Fang Yue asked while fighting, trying to get more information from the assassin.

The shadow assassin remained silent, only waving the dagger in his hand more frantically, trying to make a final struggle. But Fang Yue did not give him any chance, his long sword was like a dragon, and every move was deadly.

Finally, after a crisp sound of metal collision, the shadow assassin's dagger was knocked away by Fang Yue's sword.

Fang Yue took the opportunity to step forward, kicked the shadow assassin to the ground, and subdued him.

"Tell me! Who is the mastermind behind you?" Fang Yue asked sternly, with his sword against the shadow assassin's throat. If he made the slightest move, he would be killed. (End of this chapter)
