Hsu Fengnian stood by the window. He turned his head and waved at the confused Wang Yunshu. After he came closer, he said softly, "Go and tell your sworn brother that for your sake, I'll allow him to lead the army into the city. There's a good opportunity for him to earn military merits without doing any work."
Wang Yunshu rubbed his hands vigorously and said eagerly, "Your Highness, can I also join in the fun?"
Hsu Fengnian smiled and asked, "Do you have the status of a soldier?"
Wang Yunshu also confessed. He blushed and said, "Yes, yes, yes. My father wants to save face. He thinks that I'm not doing my job properly. He takes me out to meet his colleagues during festivals, which makes him lose face. So, he asked my sworn brother for the position of a small squad leader."
Hsu Fengnian said playfully, "A small squad leader? That's a position that can only be obtained by killing barbarians at the border. "
Young Master Wang was horrified. He laughed dryly and didn't know how to salvage the situation.
Hsu Fengnian didn't care about it. He waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and discuss with your sworn brother. When the time comes, you don't have to come to Peach Cheeks Restaurant. Let the Jiao Wuyi army split into two. You and him will go to Qing Rong Temple and Lian Tang respectively. If the city gate asks, say that it's Governor Song Yan's order. If anyone asks, say that it's me who asked you to go."
Wang Yunshu said goodbye and ran out of Peach Cheeks Restaurant with the retainers and evil slaves in the corridor.
In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Cao Zhun and Snowsuit, who were a little further away, looked at each other in dismay. They didn't know what was going on.
Xu Yanbing walked to the window and looked at Shitaki-in. He smiled and said, "Congratulations to Your Highness for your enlightenment while playing the zither."
Hsu Fengnian nodded and lamented, "The world only knows that there are big mistakes in the False Realm, but it seems that there are also good times when there are mistakes."
Xu Yanbing shook his head and said, "His Royal Highness's fake realm is like a painting that a collector would like to borrow for a look. The collector would uncover a corner of the painting and then quickly take it back. This kind of fake realm is obviously less harmful than the artist's own painting going astray. Furthermore, what His Highness has comprehended this time is not the Profound Finger of Inquiring Immortality, but the Vast Azure Heavenly Phenomenon. This was due to His Highness' twenty years of studying, as well as what he had seen and heard in his three travels. Reading ten thousand books, traveling ten thousand miles, was the reason why scholars passed down from generation to generation, and had to travel ten thousand miles. Only by doing so would one be able to accumulate sufficient strength and achieve success at a certain point in time. However, what Xu Yanbing said is all theoretical. His Highness was able to comprehend the essence of the Heavenly Phenomenon even after experiencing the False Realm and falling Realm. Even Xu Yanbing admits that he is unable to do so. "
Hsu Fengnian smiled and said, "Uncle Xu, you are someone who is about to transcend the mortal world and enter the divine world. Don't put in good words for me, a second-level internal force half-baked guy."
Xu Yanbing dismissed it with a smile.
Hsu Fengnian muttered in his heart. The realm he had just touched upon was too ethereal and mysterious, but it did not seem to be the Profound Finger or the Heavenly Phenomenon. It was as if with a hook of his finger, he could make some objects that seemed to be close to him but were actually thousands of miles away break through the air and arrive. However, this kind of realm was fleeting and was not reliable. As for how to grasp the details, it would depend on his future opportunities.

Ever since the betrayal of Black Carp in Hwangnam County and the secret cooperation of Hanshang, an old spy with a high position in Beimang, the spy network in the county was rotten. The more experienced a person was, the easier it was for them to be exposed.
The spy circle had a habit of catching pairs. There were catching pairs between friends and enemies after their identities were exposed, and there were also catching pairs between people of the same camp. However, the latter was usually only the important literary spies who had reached a certain position had the qualifications to be 'watched' and protected by military spies. Many literary spies did not know who had died for them in their entire lives. Often, they would only be informed of someone's death when they had to evacuate in an emergency. Hanshang was undoubtedly an important part of Beimang's infiltration into Beiliang's granary. With a literary spy like Hanshang, whose martial arts cultivation did not match his identity, naturally, there would be the old bastard that Hsu Fengnian had mentioned lurking at the bottom of the quagmire. However, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. No one knew what surprises would be in the three nests.
In this secret assassination, the Eagle Guard was mainly responsible for Qingrong Temple, where there were relatively few spies. The Peregrine Falcon was to peck at the fat meat of the entire lotus pond. There were orders from the higher-ups that they could not kill by mistake but not by mistake. These two groups of Beiliang killers were very powerful and required a lot of energy, material, and manpower to deal with. Therefore, these two groups of men of sacrifice not only wore soft armor and short knives, but also carried bows and crossbows. Shitaki-in was the least valued of the three groups. Some of the "miscellaneous people" with low ranks were thrown here. Both the Peregrine Falcon and the Eagle Guard were sent here. The competition between them was inevitable.
Hong Shuwen and Ren Shanyu were in this group. Ren Shanyu was only one of the two small leaders. There was also an old man whose name had been forgotten. He was used to calling him Old Tree Stump. It was said that he had been a man of sacrifice in Beiliang for many years. However, until today, he had never been to Beiliang Palace, let alone seen the General at close range. He had the air of an old-fashioned man of Jianghu.
