Yuwen Yue pushed open the door, the huge room was empty, the incense in the censer was still emitting wisps of white smoke. A gentle breeze blew, and the pages of the book on the bed rustled softly with the wind. Yuwen Yue returned to Qingshan House and heard that his grandfather had fallen ill with anger because he risked his life to save Chu Qiao, so he hurried to see him.
Seeing his elderly and unconscious grandfather constantly repeating "The Eyes of Heaven of the spies cannot be destroyed in my hands," Yuwen Yue felt deep self-blame. Zuo Baocang emerged from the secret passage and stretched. He looked up and saw the Marquis Northen Settler's capable subordinate, Dongfang Ji, walking towards him. Dongfang Ji always only appeared when there was something important; the last time he came to Chang'an, Luo He died soon after.
Although the two had been friends for many years, Zuo Baocang still had many complaints about him. Dongfang Ji had previously asked him to investigate the whereabouts of Luo He's killer, and was now here to get an update. Zuo Baocang told Dongfang Ji that he had found a wood bead he personally made years ago on a young girl. Dongfang Ji suspected that she was the young assassin who killed Luo He back then.
Zuo Baocang also had this suspicion, but he wanted to further verify it. If it was her, he would hand her over to Dongfang Ji to handle; if not, then Zuo Baocang decided to protect her with his life from then on, after all, she was Luo He's daughter. Yan Xun met Zhong Yu and read the family letter his father wrote to him.
He didn't expect that the Royal Court and Northern Yan's situation was already very urgent, and Zhong Yu had come this time specifically to escort him to leave soon. Even though the situation was so grim, Yan Xun still wanted to wait a little longer, until Chu Qiao agreed to go with him. Zhong Yu was somewhat troubled, so Yan Xun personally wrote a letter to his father to explain.
At the same time, various forces were all watching Yan Xun's Heir Apparent's residence. Yuwen Yue was ordered to monitor Northern Yan's every move, and the Yue Spies silently stole the family letter written by Yan Shicheng. Meanwhile, Taoye secretly intercepted Yan Xun's reply to Yan Shicheng and replaced it with their forged letter. Dongfang Ji's subordinate Jiang He had also been secretly observing; all of these developments were within Dongfang Ji's expectations.
Chu Qiao entered the Spies' Building to secretly take weapons, wanting to have a handy weapon with her when she went to Hongshan House. Suddenly hearing voices, she quickly hid behind a shelf. Yuwen Yue and the Yue Spies walked in. Yuwen Yue was holding the family letter the Yue Spies had stolen from Yan Xun.
If the content of the letter were seen by the Emperor, it would certainly cause a huge uproar, so Yuwen Yue swapped it for an ordinary family letter to present to the Emperor. Chu Qiao only saw him swap the family letter, but did not understand his intention. Dongfang Ji rushed back to Northern Yan for several days. Yan Shicheng solemnly took out Yan Xun's reply letter to show him, asking if it was true.
Dongfang Ji feigned a look and told him that it was forged by spies from Liang, the purpose of which was to make him rashly enter the capital and cause internal strife in Great Wei. Seeing that Yan Shicheng had no doubts, Dongfang Ji took the opportunity to take out his own forged letter and told Yan Shicheng that this was a letter Yan Xun entrusted him to deliver, after seeing through the tricks of the spies from Liang.
Yan Shicheng opened the letter only to find it was an urgent distress letter. Worried about his son, Yan Shicheng decided to personally make a trip to Chang'an. Dongfang Ji suggested that he must bring enough troops and horses for this trip, in case of unforeseen circumstances. Yan Shicheng wrote a memorial to the throne to inform the Emperor in advance about his visit to the capital, to avoid arousing his suspicion. Yan Shicheng was upright and unwavering in loyalty.
The Emperor could be suspicious of him, but he would never betray his country. Dongfang Ji took the memorial presented by Yan Shicheng to the Emperor and returned to his room. Looking at the memorial, he narrowed his eyes slightly. He prided himself on being intelligent and having skillful hands, but he was not content with being a mere craftsman.
He wholeheartedly wanted to assist a ruler who could conquer the world, but Yan Shicheng was not the person he wanted, so the memorial was mercilessly thrown into the fire. Dongfang Ji told Jiang He to pack their things, saying they would not return to Northern Yan again. As the saying goes, what you think about by day, you dream about at night. The Emperor dreamed that Yan Shicheng was going to chop off his head.
He awoke from the dream with lingering fear and could no longer tolerate Northern Yan, ordering Yuwen Yue and Yuwen Huai to intensify their search for evidence of Yan Shicheng's rebellion. These days, Yuwen Yue had been training Chu Qiao, personally teaching her his Icy Snow Arrow. The Icy Snow Arrow had always been unique to Yuwen Yue, and his willingness to teach it to Chu Qiao at this time was enough to show his trust and cultivation of her.
He personally taught Chu Qiao the techniques of spies for transmitting messages. Spies' secret letters were usually specially processed to prevent information leakage, using developing powder to reveal and invisible powder to conceal the secret letter's information, respectively. Yuwen Yue handed the developing powder and invisible powder to Chu Qiao, saying she would surely find a use for them in the future.
After she returned, Chu Qiao sprinkled the developing powder on the note inside the wood bead, and the handwriting appeared. Her mother told her that if she had any trouble, she should go to Northern Yan to find Master Wu; he would protect her and resolve her confusion. Chu Qiao murmured "Northern Yan" to herself, lost in thought.
