Chapter 203 - 158, Fall off a horse
The bustling streets were crowded with people coming and going. The common folk carried pole loads, and ox carts trudged through the snow out of Luocheng City, rushing to return to their rural farms before sunset.
The smell of ox dung mixed with the shouts enlivened the winter day in Luocheng.
Chen Ji stood amid the ceaseless crowd, silently withdrawing his hand into his sleeve, hiding the parchment brought by the West Wind.
A chill crept up his back. The Spy Department was the Inner Court’s personal guard, generally moving unhindered with the King’s Command Flag in plain sight. Why would they need to disguise their identities and secretly pass messages?
Now, the West Wind had lowered his hat and hurried away, signaling that the Spy Department had moved into the shadows...
They had to be cautious; the Liu Family might act recklessly and ruthlessly.
In Mr. Feng’s eyes, only Chen Ji remained visible, making him the Liu Family’s natural target.
Chen Ji had thought that after eradicating the military town of Dragon King Village, the Spy Department would have concrete evidence of the Liu Family’s rebellion. All they needed to do was deliver this evidence to the Imperial Capital, and the Liu Family could be eradicated.
Once the Longevity Army arrived, the Liu Family would vanish like smoke and ashes.
However, the Liu Family had no intention of sitting idly by, and the Spy Department’s secret reports couldn’t even leave Henan Province.
No wonder Mr. Feng was so brazen... The Liu Family was ready to break ties!
