A Discussion at Qingyun Palace

With Emperor Gan Chu Tianxiong's instruction, Princess Jingyi Chu Xuanxian found Chu Mo in the summaries of countless Imperial Clan family members in just one day.

In the Qingyun Palace, Consort Rong Bai Feiyan, looked at the information about Chu Mo in her hand and fell into deep thought.

After a long while, Chu Xuanxian, sitting to the side, looked at her mother who was still pondering and said with a hint of helplessness.

"Mother, what are you still looking at? I've seen these things countless times. There's nothing special about them, and the people who looked at them are all long dead. They're completely useless."

Chu Xuanxian rested her arms on the table, her head on her arms, tilted her head to the side, her small mouth pouting, and a hint of boredom flashed across her delicate and lovely face.

I hate this intelligence information the most. It's so tedious and boring. I don't know why my brother is looking for information about Chu Mo.

It would be better to find her a sword manual that she can practice instinctively and show off her skills.

Distracted from her train of thought, Bai Feiyan looked up at her daughter with a helpless expression. This girl acted impulsively and never thought things through.

The things she brought were clearly far inferior. The person is dead, but is that all there is to it with just a casual remark?

A member of the Imperial Clan Ascension Realm, only to die at a little over a hundred years old?

How did he die? What did he do? They didn't say anything.

Something's definitely up here. There's nothing there, all the intelligence has been hidden. And this girl just brings back these useless things about what to eat today and what to drink tomorrow, and says she's found everything.

If she weren't unqualified to check Imperial Clan records, there would be no need for her to do it.

Sigh! Never mind, all this silly girl does is practice martial arts every day. Hmm, her talent in martial arts is also surprisingly poor; she's only at the early stage of the Innate Realm right now.

After regaining her senses, Bai Feiyan asked Chu Xuanxian.

That's all? Nothing else?

With her head tilted and resting on the table, Chu Xuanxian looked at her mother and blinked her clear, bright eyes.

Looking into Chu Xuanxian's eyes, bright and clear, seemingly without any impurities, utterly innocent and romantic, Consort Rong Bai Feiyan slowly closed her eyes, knowing that asking was pointless.

Chu Xuanxian thought for a moment, then said in a sweet voice.

"Mother, Elder Shouge said that's all Chu Mo has to say, nothing else."

Bai Feiyan thought for a moment and murmured.

"Cangshui?"

The Imperial Clan has clearly concealed important information. More than 160 years ago, almost 170 years ago, the only thing left is the Battle of Cangshui.

The Battle of Youzhou had just been won, and his son had already discovered something else.

Thinking about it, he gave instructions to Granny Hua beside him.

"Go to the Prince of Qin's Manor and summon Miss Haitang."

"Haitang greets Consort Rong and Her Your Highness the Princess."

After waiting for a while, Haitang hurriedly walked in.

Upon hearing the voice, Princess Jingyi, Chu Xuanxian, brightened up and said happily.

"Sister Haitang."

Since her brother left, this Sister Haitang would often come to the palace to keep her company and teach her swordsmanship. Her martial arts skills were superb, and she also had a high level of knowledge about the affairs of the Martial World. She learned a lot from her.

After sitting down and exchanging pleasantries, Bai Feiyan got down to business, handing over the intelligence she was holding.

"This is the news about Chu Mo, but it's missing a lot of crucial information. Let's pass it on to Ao'er and the others so they can get a better understanding of it. I'll also try to find other sources to see if there's any other information."

After a quick glance, Haitang put down her things. This was enough. Duan Tianya had already gone to the Dong Clan Duan Tianya in You Province. All they needed to do was provide information, just know that this person existed, and that the timing roughly matched.

Haitang said respectfully.

"This matter is all thanks to Your Highness and Your Highness. Haitang thanks Your Highness and Your Highness on behalf of Your Highness."

"Oh, Sister Haitang, there's no need for that. This is just to help my brother, it's nothing, a trivial matter."

Chu Xuanxian sat there, and although she said that, she couldn't hide the arrogance on her face. Yes, she was no longer a child, and now she could help her elder brother.

Upon hearing Shangguan Haitang's words, unlike Chu Xuanxian's thick-skinned nature, who didn't care about the details at all, Bai Feiyan understood the unspoken meaning: this was enough; she had already obtained the information she wanted to know.

She was a little puzzled. Thinking back on those things, they were all very ordinary information, nothing special. But since her son had already done what he wanted to do, the rest didn't matter.

Suddenly, Bai Feiyan spoke, as if struck by a sudden thought.

"Oh, by the way, send a message to Ao'er: Li Yi has already left the palace."

Shangguan Haitang was initially confused, but then she remembered the Grand Steward of the Imperial Household.

"Li Yi, the Grand Eunuch of the Palace?"

Bai Feiyan nodded and said affirmatively.

"Indeed, His Majesty's chief attendant, Li Yi, has left the palace. As the only remaining one of the Four Great Eunuchs by His Majesty's side, Li Yi has been by His Majesty's side all these years, and he is rarely summoned even when imperial decrees are being issued."

"Li Yi must have carried an imperial decree with him when he left the palace this time. Given the current situation, he would only be going to You Province. The rewards, military expenses, and appeasement for the soldiers in You Province are still being prepared, but this man has already gone to You Province ahead of us."

"His decision not to travel with the army, and his urgency, suggests that this decree is not simple. Let's inform Ao'er and tell him to prepare."

"Ao'er stole the show in this battle, but the origins of those 50,000 iron cavalry were nowhere to be found. I don't know, nor will I inquire, but he should be prepared. Li Yi is most likely after Ao'er."

Haitang's expression also turned solemn. She nodded, understanding the meaning behind Consort Rong's words, and said in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, I, Haitang, will take my leave now."

Bai Feiyan said calmly.

"Okay, go ahead!"

She knew that Haitang still needed to send a message to You Province to prepare for what was to come. The Battle of Youzhou had just ended, and now all sides were facing a host of troubles.

In a courtyard in Zhenyou City, You Province, Zhu Wushi, the Ghost Servant, and Li Xunhuan were all by Chu Xuanao's side.

After glancing at the information in his hand, Chu Xuanao looked up at the group and said...

"So, it seems that the fact that my Dagan Imperial Clan ancestor is imprisoned within the Dong Clan is now largely accurate, and can even be considered certain."

As he spoke, a hint of frustration flashed in Chu Xuanao's eyes. There was indeed a person named Chu Mo in the Imperial Clan, but according to this intelligence, he had been dead for almost 170 years.

Back then, his cultivation level was at the Mid Ascension Realm. After breaking through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, and then being imprisoned by his Dong Clan for over a hundred years, hey, all of this really makes sense.

The details of how Chu Mo died were not elaborated upon. It seems that this person was involved in some secrets of the Imperial Clan, and may have survived before his death.

Despite being away from the Imperial Clan's Secret Realm and resource support, Chu Mo actually broke through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. It seems he had some extraordinary encounter!

Moreover, this fortuitous encounter was likely quite significant, which explains why the Dong Clan didn't simply kill the man or present him to the Great Feng court to curry favor. Driven by human greed and weighing the pros and cons, Chu Mo found a glimmer of hope.

Of course, these are just his guesses; the truth will be revealed after Chu Mo is rescued.

Chu Xuanao looked at Li Xunhuan and said.

"Xunhuan, you need to make this trip."

After his trip to Great Feng, Yuan Tiangang was injured and left behind only a few messages saying that he needed to treat his injuries first. Now, no one knows where he is.

Of Dong Xuanfeng's subordinates, only Li Xunhuan, Ling Yan, and Mingxin could rival him. The latter two were in the Capital, leaving only Li Xunhuan.

If that's the case, then it's time for the unparalleled Little Li Flying Dagger to truly be used.
