During this period, the army of the Ming Empire was virtually invincible.

Whether it was the Imperial Guards led by Guo Zhen or the armies of Mu Ying, Lan Yu, and others, they were all wreaking havoc throughout the Jin Kingdom!

Unstoppable!

On the other hand, the Jin Kingdom was completely powerless to fight back!
Although Emperor Wanyan Shouxu of the Jin Dynasty had repeatedly sent large armies to fight against the Ming Dynasty during this period, the military strength of the Ming Empire was simply too great.

Plus.

The Ming Empire also possessed a dinosaur army and a large amount of modern weaponry, so... when facing the Jin army, it was almost a dimensional reduction attack.

In less than half a month, the Jin state suffered heavy casualties.

the most important is.

Basically, all the cities in the north of the Jin Dynasty had been occupied by the Ming Empire, and dozens of cities had been lost!

Meanwhile, the territory of the Jin Kingdom shrank by about one-fifth!

The entire Jin Kingdom was in a state of panic.

Of course.

Apart from the Jin Kingdom, the entire nation of the [Comprehensive Martial Arts World] paled in comparison.

To know.

Looking at the world as a whole, the Jin Dynasty was actually quite powerful, with its cavalry, infantry, and artillery all being quite sophisticated.

Moreover, the Jin dynasty occupied northern China for a long time, and basically no other state in the Central Plains dared to fight against it.

But now.

Despite its immense power, the Jin Dynasty was utterly routed by the Ming Dynasty's army, leaving it utterly powerless to resist.

Simultaneously.

Other countries in the Central Plains also dispatched spies to investigate this mysterious army.

……

At this moment.

Within this northern capital city.

After about half a month of construction, Beidu City has been completely transformed.

It's no exaggeration to say that...

At that time, Beidu City resembled a modern metropolis.

All roads in the entire northern capital city were paved with cement, and in addition, so-called surveillance equipment was installed throughout the city.

Of course, some water and electricity facilities were also popularized.

It can be said that Zhu Ying's goal was quite clear: to build Beidu into a truly modern city!

During this period, spies from many countries also went to the northern capital.

After all, Zhu Ying had caused quite a stir.

In less than half a month, they had captured dozens of cities in the Jin Kingdom. Naturally, the monarchs of various countries were quite interested in Zhu Ying's Ming Empire army.

Whether it was the Song Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty, or the Tubo, Dali, Yuan and other countries, they all sent spies there. Of course, there was also the Ming Dynasty in this world!

After spending a lot of time arriving in the northern capital, these spies followed the refugees into the city. Originally, spies from several countries wanted to sneak in, but the city had a lot of surveillance facilities and was heavily fortified.

Therefore, all the spies who wanted to use their lightness skills or sneak into the capital city under the cover of darkness were discovered by the army of the Ming Empire!

Moreover, once it is discovered that a spy has broken in, any spy caught will be beheaded and displayed to the public!

then.

In the time that followed, the spies from these countries became smarter. They no longer used their light-footed skills to force their way in, but instead disguised themselves as refugees and infiltrated the northern capital.

just.

There is absolutely no possibility of entering Beidu City silently.

Anyone who wants to enter the Northern Capital City needs to provide their personal information.

Furthermore, the guards would take photos of the refugees entering the northern capital and create identity cards. Only after obtaining these identity documents could they enter.

now.

Outside this northern capital city,

The four secret agents of the Ming Dynasty's Dragon Guard Manor, namely Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow, have all arrived.

"Good heavens, this is the former northern capital of the Jin Kingdom? How did it become like this?" Cheng Shifei looked puzzled upon seeing the scene before him.

Meanwhile, Shangguan Haitang remarked, "The changes are truly remarkable. I visited Beidu last year, and the city walls weren't this high then..."

"And what's that on the city wall? It looks like a mirror!"

Although the four secret agents of Heaven, Earth, Black and Yellow were highly skilled in martial arts, they were not familiar with modern technology. Shangguan Haitang described the camera as a mirror.

At this moment, Duan Tianya, who had been silent for a long time, said to everyone, "We still need to be careful. I heard that recently, many spies from various countries have tried to enter Beidu City, but they have all been discovered."

"A considerable number of spies have already been beheaded and their heads displayed to the public."

As Duan Tianya finished speaking, Gui Haiyidao hesitated for a moment, then said coldly, "How is this possible? How did the guards discover the spy's infiltration?"

"Looking at the city walls, there weren't many patrolling soldiers."

Duan Tianya shook his head, his eyes blank, and said, "I don't know, but we still need to be careful."

"Since we can't force our way in, we should disguise ourselves as refugees and enter the city of Beidu."

Duan Tianya was quite cautious.

He knew very well that since this mysterious army had been able to conquer dozens of cities in the Jin Kingdom in a short period of time, it must have some strength. Therefore, in order to alert the enemy, Duan Tianya chose to disguise himself as a refugee.

Not long after.

The four secret agents of Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow had all completed their disguises and blended into the crowd of refugees, slowly walking towards the city gate of Beidu.

At this time.

Cheng Shifei suddenly turned to Duan Tianya beside him and said, "Look, the flags above Beidu City are indeed Ming!"

"How is this going?"

Upon seeing this scene, Shangguan Haitang quickly looked towards the city wall of Beidu. When she saw the character "Ming," she was naturally taken aback.

"It really is the Ming Dynasty! Why is this happening? What kind of force is this army, and why are they impersonating our Great Ming?"

Duan Tianya then said to the crowd, "Keep your voices down, don't worry about that now. The most important thing is to get into the city and find out what's going on!"

That's all.

The four secret agents of Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow had already arrived near the city gate. However, just as they were about to enter the Northern Capital, they were stopped by the guards of the Ming Empire.

"Come on! Let's take a picture!"

A soldier from the Imperial Guard spoke to Duan Tianya.

"Taking a picture? What is taking a picture?" Duan Tianya looked at the guard with a puzzled expression. At the same time, Duan Tianya was also prepared to fight, fearing that the guard would find out his identity.

"Everyone entering this northern capital city must obtain identification documents. Do you have any identification documents?" The Imperial Guard continued to press Duan Tianya for answers.

The latter quickly shook his head, responding with utter ignorance, "ID? What's an ID? I've never had one..."

At this moment, Cheng Shifei, standing behind Duan Tianya, suddenly said to the guard, "Brother, we come from other places and are unfamiliar with the rules here. Please make an exception for us!" However, the Imperial Guard soldier replied with a livid face, "To enter this Northern Capital, one must naturally abide by the rules here!"

"If you don't need to obtain an ID card, then please leave."

Duan Tianya glanced at the other three, and after thinking for a moment, he hurriedly said, "Alright, in that case, let's proceed."

"But... how do I obtain this identification document?"

Done.

The guard then said to Duan Tianya, "Go to the room next door to take the picture, it'll be done soon!"

Despite his reluctance, Duan Tianya had no choice but to follow the guards' instructions and slowly enter the room where he was to be photographed, in order to successfully enter the capital city of Beidu.

Upon seeing this, the other three also followed Duan Tianya.

now.

Inside this room, many homeless people are queuing up to have their documents made.

It was quite noisy.

At this moment, Shangguan Haitang suddenly said to Duan Tianya, "Look, the person on the left looks like Lu Youjiao from the Beggars' Sect!"

Upon seeing this, Duan Tianya's expression immediately turned to surprise.

"It sure is him!"

"Could it be that the Song Kingdom is also coming to this northern capital to gather intelligence?"

Duan Tianya became visibly nervous.

"What should we do then? Should we betray this guy, or kill him?" Cheng Shifei whispered in Duan Tianya's ear.

Upon hearing this, Duan Tianya quickly waved his hand, stopping the idea from becoming a source of trouble.

"Absolutely not."

"If we make a move now, we will definitely alert the enemy. Although Lu Youjiao's martial arts skills are average, he is still a member of the Beggars' Clan. If we provoke the Beggars' Clan, it will not be a good thing for my Dragon Guard Manor."

"Furthermore, both the Ming and Song kingdoms are Central Plains states and have a relatively good relationship, so we absolutely cannot take action against them."

Duan Tianya decisively stopped this idea from causing trouble.

Not long after.

The guard in charge of taking photos suddenly said to Duan Tianya, "You! Come here! Take a picture!"

Although Duan Tianya didn't know what taking photos meant, he still approached the guard in order to enter the Northern Capital.

"Look at the camera!"

After the guard finished speaking, Duan Tianya's face showed a hint of doubt.

"Lens? What is a lens?"

Faced with Duan Tianya's persistent questioning, the guard did not show any impatience; after all, he was already used to it.

"This is the little lens! In a moment, this little lens will show a white light. Don't close your eyes! Don't be afraid, there's no danger!"

After the guard finished speaking, he originally wanted to reassure Duan Tianya not to panic, but... after hearing these words, Duan Tianya became even more nervous.

even.

Duan Tianya clenched his fists, as if he would take action immediately if he sensed any danger!

"Crack!"

Just then, the guard pressed the camera button, and with a flash, Tianya's appearance was naturally captured.

Because the entire process was extremely fast, Duan Tianya simply couldn't react!

"What...what did you just do?!"

Duan Tianya immediately tensed up and questioned the guard in charge of taking the photos. However, the guard seemed to be used to being questioned. He did not explain but instead used the printer to print out the photos that had just been taken.

"See for yourself."

"This is your photo!"

When Duan Tianya received the photo, he was shocked. He never expected that the so-called camera could capture him so realistically!
"It's exactly the same!"

"How is this possible!"

"How did you do that?!" Tianya asked incredulously.

But the guard waved his hand and said, "Now that the photo has been taken, stop talking nonsense and hurry up and make your ID card!"

"Next!"

Before long, the other three people had also finished taking their photos. Shangguan Haitang was also very surprised when she saw her own photo.

"Wow, this is so realistic! It looks exactly like the reflection in the mirror!"

"This is amazing!"

Shangguan Haitang couldn't help but sigh, while Cheng Shifei beside her reminded her, "It's still best to be careful. This Beidu City is too strange!"

soon.

After obtaining the identification documents, the four people successfully entered the city of Beidu.

However, once they entered the northern capital, they were immediately shocked by the scene before them!

Within this northern capital city, there are not only cement roads, but also numerous streetlights, and even four-wheeled cars!

All of this has shattered everyone's understanding.

"This...this is too bizarre!"

"This is completely different from the Central Plains! How can a four-wheeled iron sheet move continuously on the road without a horse pulling it?"

"Who knew these lights could actually emit light!"

"My God, this is like another world!"

Just as everyone was captivated by the modernity of Beidu City, Duan Tianya suddenly discovered an acquaintance!
"Look!"

"Isn't that the Thousand-Faced Gentleman? What's he doing here!"

Duan Tianya remembered the true face of the Thousand-Faced Gentleman, so he instantly recognized Cao Zhengchun's subordinate, the Thousand-Faced Gentleman!

Cheng Shifei, however, remained quite calm and said, "It must be that Eunuch Cao sent him to investigate the situation in Beidu City!"

"Now that the forces in Beidu City have captured several cities of the Jin Kingdom in just a few days, Eunuch Cao must also want to obtain their intelligence."

And this time.

The Thousand-Faced Gentleman also saw the four secret agents, but he did not fight them. One reason was that he knew that with his current strength, he was no match for them.

Of course, the most important point is that the Thousand-Faced Gentleman's main purpose in coming here was to gather intelligence. Therefore, the Thousand-Faced Gentleman only glanced at the four secret agents before heading straight into the capital city.

Upon seeing this, Duan Tianya, Guihai Yidao, and the others naturally did not clash with the Thousand-Faced Gentleman. In a sense, they all shared the same goal.

The most urgent task is to find out the situation inside the northern capital!

"Investigate separately. Remember, don't alert them. Be extremely cautious!" Duan Tianya warned the other three.

Although Duan Tianya was well-informed, he felt uneasy as he entered Beidu City, feeling as if Wushuang was watching him. So he suggested that the four of them split up to investigate the situation.
