"We have to find a way to make them expose themselves." Luo Chen whispered in Qingshuang's ear.

Qingshuang nodded, she knew Luo Chen already had a plan.

The two began to look for useful clues in the study and finally found a secret letter in the drawer of the desk.

The secret letter recorded in detail the conspiracy within the City Lord's Mansion and the evidence of collusion with foreign enemies.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang knew that this letter would be the key to uncovering the conspiracy.

They hid the letter, ready to make it public when the time was right.

Afterwards, the two of them quietly left the study and returned to the inn.

After returning to the inn, Luo Chen and Qingshuang began to discuss their next course of action.

They knew that this letter alone would not be enough to completely destroy the conspiracy, and they needed more evidence and the support of other forces in the city.

"We need to find those forces that are loyal to the city lord and unite with them to act together." Luo Chen pondered.

Qing Shuang nodded in agreement, "We can go find that guard first. He should know some people who are loyal to the city lord."

So, Luo Chen and Qingshuang found the injured guard again.

With their help, the guards contacted some officials and soldiers in the city lord's mansion who were loyal to the city lord.

In a dim guest room, Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and the guard sat around a tattered wooden table.

The guard's injuries had been treated simply, but his face was still pale.

"Are you really willing to help me?" There was a tremor in the guard's voice. It was obvious that he found Luo Chen and Qing Shuang's decision unbelievable.

"We said that as long as you tell the truth, we will help you." Luo Chen replied calmly with a firm look in his eyes.

The guard nodded and began to describe in detail the situation of the officials and soldiers loyal to the city lord in the city lord's mansion.

He mentioned several names and where they might be hiding.

"These people are the city lord's confidants. They are loyal to the city lord, but because the city lord is seriously ill, they are forced to hide to avoid persecution by the conspirators." The guard explained.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang carefully wrote down this information. They knew that these people's help was crucial in order to successfully expose the conspiracy.

"We will go find them tomorrow." Qingshuang said, with a determined gleam in his eyes.

Following the clues provided by the guards, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to search for those who were loyal to the city lord.

They walked through the narrow alleys, carefully avoiding possible surveillance.

After some twists and turns, they finally found the hiding place of one of the officials.

It was a dilapidated house that looked unremarkable from the outside, but inside it hid a group of loyal soldiers.

"Who are you?" a middle-aged man asked vigilantly, with a hint of warning in his eyes.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stated their purpose and told him about the guards.

After hearing this, the man's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly regained his composure.

"I am one of the city lord's confidants, my name is Zhao Tie. On behalf of all those who are loyal to the city lord, I would like to thank you for coming to help us." Zhao Tie said.

Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Zhao Tie discussed the next plan.

They decided to unite all the forces loyal to the city lord and prepare to launch a surprise attack in the city lord's mansion to crush the conspirators' plan in one fell swoop.

"We need more evidence and an insider in the City Lord's Mansion." Luo Chen put forward his opinion.

Zhao Tie nodded and said that he would try his best to contact other loyal officials in the City Lord's Mansion and look for an insider.

In the next few days, Luo Chen and Qingshuang worked closely with Zhao Tie and others. They began to secretly contact other loyal officials in the City Lord's Mansion and collect more evidence.

At the same time, the conspirators in the City Lord's Mansion were also preparing their plans in full swing.

They didn't know that a storm against them was quietly brewing.

With the help of Zhao Tie, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang successfully contacted an insider in the City Lord's Mansion.

The traitor was a young guard who, dissatisfied with the conspirators' actions, decided to secretly help Luo Chen and the others.

"I will open the side door of the City Lord's Mansion at the appropriate time and let your people in." The guard said in a low voice.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang expressed their gratitude for his help and made a detailed raid plan.

As the night deepened, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, led by Zhao Tie, arrived at the side door of the City Lord's Mansion.

Behind them was a group of carefully selected soldiers loyal to the city lord. All of them had a serious expression and a determined light in their eyes.

"Is everything ready?" Luo Chen asked Zhao Tie in a low voice.

Zhao Tie nodded, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, "We are ready, just waiting for your signal."

Luo Chen turned to look at Qingshuang, and their eyes met. Without further ado, they both understood each other's determination.

Qingshuang nodded slightly, indicating that everything was ready.

Luo Chen took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. He took out the secret letter from his arms and confirmed the contents again.

This letter will be the key to their actions and the irrefutable evidence that will expose the conspirators' crimes.

"Let's start." Luo Chen said softly.

Zhao Tie nodded, then turned and walked towards the side door.

He carefully unlatched the door, and a faint light shone through the crack.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang followed closely behind, leading the soldiers quietly into the City Lord's Mansion.

According to the pre-arranged plan, they quickly dispersed. Some people were responsible for controlling the guards, while the others followed Luo Chen and Qing Shuang straight to the study.

In the study, the conspirators were still plotting their plans.

Little did they know, a storm was about to hit.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang led the soldiers to approach the study quietly. They stopped outside the door, waiting for the signal from inside.

Suddenly, the door of the study was gently pushed open, and the figure of the guard appeared at the door.

He nodded to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, indicating that they could take action.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, then rushed into the study at the same time.

The conspirators were stunned by this sudden turn of events. Before they could react, they were surrounded by soldiers.

"What do you mean?" One of the conspirators stepped forward and tried to explain.

Luo Chen did not answer. He just raised the secret letter in his hand high and read aloud the contents of the letter.

The conspirators looked at each other and turned pale, for they knew that their crimes had been exposed and they could no longer deny them.

"You traitors!" Qingshuang shouted angrily, "The city lord has so much trust in you, but you secretly colluded with foreign enemies and tried to overthrow the entire city!"

The conspirators were speechless, they knew their end had come.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang handed these conspirators over to the loyal officials of the City Lord's Mansion and let them receive the punishment they deserved.

Afterwards, they found the seriously ill city lord and told him the whole story in detail.

After hearing this, although the city lord was weak, there was a determined light in his eyes.

He thanked Luo Chen and Qing Shuang for everything they had done for the city, and decided to make them his confidants to jointly maintain peace and stability in the city.

Under the commission of the city lord, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to reorganize the city lord's mansion, eliminate the remaining traitors, and strengthen the city's defenses.

Although, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang are both practitioners.

But sometimes, there are things that they are not completely unable to do.

For example, the chaos in this city.

They were quite interested.

The next day, in the City Lord's Mansion, sunlight shone through the carved window lattices and onto the smooth stone slabs, creating mottled light and shadows.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood in front of the city lord's bed, with a hint of fatigue on their faces, but more of determination and satisfaction.

Although the city lord had not recovered from his illness, his spirits were obviously much better. His gaze lingered on the two young practitioners for a moment, then he spoke slowly.

"Luo Chen, Qingshuang, I will always remember what you have done for this city." Although the city lord's voice was weak, it was full of gratitude.

Luo Chen nodded slightly and replied: "Lord City Lord, this is just our duty. We still have a lot to do now."

Qing Shuang added: "Yes, Lord City Lord, we have the situation under control, but we still need your instructions to completely eliminate the hidden dangers in the city."

The city lord nodded and motioned for them to come closer.

He began to explain in detail the next plan, including how to strengthen the city's defenses, how to appease the people, and how to deal with those conspirators who were exposed.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang listened carefully and nodded from time to time to show their understanding.

Under the instructions of the city lord, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to act.

They first visited various important figures in the city, including officials and soldiers loyal to the city lord.

In a spacious meeting room, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang sat with them, discussing how to restore order in the city.

"Everyone, although the city lord's condition is serious, we cannot lose our direction because of this." Luo Chen's voice echoed in the meeting hall, "We need to unite and ensure the stability of the city."

Qing Shuang continued, "The city lord has authorized us to handle the affairs of the city. We hope to get your support and assistance."

The officials and soldiers present nodded in agreement.

Some of them were once the city lord's confidants and were loyal to him.

Others were moved by Luo Chen and Qing Shuang's actions and were willing to join the team to maintain peace in the city.

In the following days, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang led this group of loyal officials and soldiers and began to restore order in the city.

They first strengthened the city's defenses to ensure the safety of the city.

They then began to clean up the city of destabilizing factors, including the remnants of the conspirators.

Under the leadership of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, order in the city gradually returned and the people saw hope again.

However, just when everything seemed to be moving in a good direction, an unexpected piece of news reached the ears of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

It turned out that some of the exposed conspirators were not completely controlled. They secretly contacted some forces that were dissatisfied with the status quo, attempting to stir up trouble again.

After Luo Chen and Qing Shuang learned the news, they immediately took action.

City Lord's Mansion.

At this time, Luo Chen was sitting quietly in the main seat.

A number of high-ranking officials in the city also sat aside.

"Everyone."

Luo Chen's voice echoed in the spacious conference hall. His eyes swept over everyone present, and everyone could feel the seriousness and determination in his words.

"We have just calmed down a storm, but new challenges are before us." Luo Chen paused, giving everyone present time to digest his words.

Qingshuang stood beside Luo Chen, her eyes firm and calm. She knew that the next task would be more difficult, but she also believed that they could overcome all difficulties.

"We can't let those conspirators succeed again." Qingshuang added, with unquestionable firmness in her voice.

The officials and soldiers present nodded one after another. Some of them had already witnessed the abilities of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang and were full of confidence in them.

"We need to formulate a detailed plan." Luo Chen continued, "First, we need to find out the forces among the conspirators that have not yet been controlled, and then defeat them one by one."

"At the same time, we must also strengthen patrols in the city to ensure the safety of the people." Qingshuang added, "We cannot allow any unstable factors to affect the stability of the city."

In the next few days, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang led their team and started a new round of operations.

They acted separately, Luo Chen was responsible for investigating and gathering intelligence, while Qingshuang was responsible for strengthening the city's defense and patrolling.

Luo Chen shuttled through every corner of the city. His figure was like a ghost, appearing silently in every place where he was needed.

He contacted informants in the city and obtained intelligence from them about the conspirators.

Qingshuang was patrolling on the city wall. Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and any slight abnormality would not escape her observation.

She communicated with the soldiers, encouraging them to remain vigilant and ensure the safety of the city.

With the efforts of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, they gradually grasped the movements of the conspirators.

They discovered that the conspirators were planning to create chaos at a large market in the city to attract attention and implement their plan.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang decided to take advantage of the situation and they made a detailed plan to catch all the conspirators in one fell swoop at the market.

On the day of the market, the city was bustling with activity. People came to buy the goods they needed and enjoyed the rare peace and prosperity.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang hid in the crowd, their eyes fixed on every suspicious figure.

Just when the conspirators were preparing to act, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang led the soldiers to attack quickly and captured them all in one fell swoop.

The people at the market were stunned. They had not expected that such a dangerous conspiracy would be hidden on such a festive day.

Luo Chen stood in front of the subdued conspirators, and his voice echoed throughout the market: "Your conspiracy has failed, and your crimes will be punished accordingly."

Qingshuang turned to the people, her words were full of comfort: "Please rest assured, the safety of the city has been guaranteed. We will continue to work hard to ensure that everyone can live in peace here." (End of this chapter)
