King Jin turned to look at Yi Lei and instructed: "No matter what, do not make this matter public. First, take this man to the prison and have someone guard him."

After receiving the order, Yi Lei retreated with the man in black.

King Jin looked at the map in his hand, thinking. The current situation was confusing, and they had to be extra careful. At this time, a servant came to report that several strange murders had occurred in the capital.

The King of Jin's heart sank, and a bad premonition came over him. He waved his hand, signaling his servants to leave, and then turned to the King of Chu and the King of Qin and said, "It seems that things are much more complicated than we expected. We must find out as soon as possible whether these murders are related to the conspiracy of the King of Liang."

The King of Chu frowned and said in a deep voice: "Our men have been distributed all over the capital, but these murders still happen frequently, which shows that the enemy's methods are sophisticated and secretive."

King Qin nodded in agreement: "We need a stronger intelligence network, perhaps we can look for clues from the scenes of those murders."

At this moment, the door of the study was pushed open again, and a man in plain clothes walked in. He was the head of the secret agents of the Prince of Jin's Mansion, named Zhao Qian, who was responsible for collecting intelligence and handling emergencies.

"Your Highness, I have already found out that the identities of the victims in the recent murders are different, but they all have one thing in common - they have all been active near Prince Liang's Mansion." Zhao Qian's voice was low and firm.

After hearing this, the King of Jin looked even more serious: "It seems that these murders are indeed related to the King of Liang. Zhao Qian, you should immediately send someone to keep a close eye on every move of the King of Liang's mansion and make sure to record all suspicious points."

Zhao Qian took the order and left, while the King of Jin continued to discuss countermeasures with the King of Chu and the King of Qin. They realized that the King of Liang's conspiracy was not only aimed at them, but the entire capital might be in crisis.

At the same time, Yi Lei had already taken the man in black to the prison and arranged for his confidant to guard him personally. He walked out of the prison, still full of doubts and uneasiness. Who was this man in black? Why did he have the map? These questions lingered in Yi Lei's mind.

Late at night, Yi Lei returned to his room, lit an oil lamp, and began to study the map carefully. The map was marked in great detail, not only including the defense layout of the Prince Liang's mansion, but also some secret passages and secret paths. Yi Lei suddenly thought that these passages and secret paths might be the key to the Prince Liang's conspiracy.

The next morning, Yi Lei couldn't wait to tell King Jin about his great discovery. King Jin's eyes lit up and he praised him generously, "Yi Lei, you have a very sharp observation ability. These passages and secret passages are indeed worthy of our attention."

King Jin then ordered Zhao Qian: "You take your men to the passages and secret passages marked on the map and make sure to find out their purpose."

Zhao Qian took the order and left, while Yi Lei continued to stay with King Jin to assist in analyzing maps and intelligence. They knew that time was running out and they had to find evidence of King Liang's conspiracy as soon as possible.

A few days later, Zhao Qian brought back a surprising piece of news: "Your Majesty, we found some strange runes and mechanisms in one of the secret passages. It seems to be some kind of ancient formation."

After hearing this, King Jin's face changed: "Formation? King Liang actually uses this method?"

The King of Chu and the King of Qin also showed surprise. In this era, few people have mastered the formation, and the King of Liang was able to use it, which means that he may have the support of a more powerful force behind him.

King Jin pondered for a moment and decided to go and check it out himself. He took Yi Lei, Zhao Qian and a team of elite guards and secretly went to the secret passage.

They came to the entrance of the secret passage and saw those strange runes and mechanisms. After careful observation, King Jin found that these runes and mechanisms were indeed some kind of ancient formations, which seemed to have powerful power.

"It seems that King Liang's conspiracy is far more complicated than we imagined." King Jin whispered, "We must find a way to break these formations."

Yi Lei suddenly had an idea: "Father, I remember there is a book about ancient formations in the library in our mansion. Maybe it can help us decipher these runes and mechanisms."

King Jin nodded and said, "Okay, Yilei, go back to the mansion and get the book immediately. We will wait for you here."

Yi Lei quickly returned to the Prince of Jin's mansion, found the book on ancient formations, and then returned to the entrance of the secret passage. The Prince of Jin took the book and began to carefully study the runes and mechanisms.

After some research, King Jin finally found a way to crack these formations. He followed the instructions in the book, dismantled the mechanisms one by one, and finally opened the end of the secret passage.

They entered the end of the secret passage and found a secret basement filled with various documents and maps, which was obviously the command center for King Liang's conspiracy.

King Jin's face was solemn: "It seems that King Liang's conspiracy has reached its final stage. We must take immediate action to stop his plan."

Yi Lei, Zhao Qian and the guards quickly began to collect evidence in the basement and brought all the documents and maps back to the Prince of Jin's Mansion.

After returning to the palace, the King of Jin immediately summoned the King of Chu and the King of Qin to analyze the evidence. They found that the King of Liang not only planned to seize the power of the King of Jin's palace, but also attempted to control the entire capital through the formation.

"This is no longer a simple struggle for power," Prince Jin said coldly.

The King of Chu and the King of Qin looked at each other, their faces equally solemn. The King of Chu frowned and said, "If the King of Liang really has mastered this ancient formation, once it is activated, the consequences will be disastrous. We must find a way to break it as soon as possible."

The King of Qin nodded in agreement: "That's right, the King of Liang's ambition has exceeded our expectations. We must unite all the forces we can to fight him together."

Prince Jin took a deep breath and said slowly: "Yilei, you continue to study these runes and mechanisms in depth to see if you can find some clues. Zhao Qian, you lead people to strengthen the surveillance of Prince Liang's mansion, and report any disturbances immediately."

Yi Lei and Zhao Qian responded in unison: "Yes!"

The King of Jin turned to the King of Chu and the King of Qin and said, "We need to gather all the forces and discuss countermeasures together. The King of Liang's conspiracy is imminent and can't be delayed any longer."

The King of Chu nodded and said, "I will immediately contact those officials and generals who are dissatisfied with the King of Liang and win their support."

The King of Qin said solemnly: "I will also use my connections to raise arms and resources as quickly as possible."

King Jin nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, we will act separately and gather our forces in the shortest possible time."

After that, everyone started to act, and the Jin Palace was busy. Yi Lei returned to his study and continued to study the runes. He knew that breaking the Liang Wang's formation was the top priority. Once they succeeded, they could turn the situation around.

In the dead of night, Yi Lei's eyes were still fixed on the map and runes, and various possible ways to crack the map kept emerging in his mind. He secretly vowed in his heart that he would find the flaw of King Liang no matter what and win this life-and-death battle for the Prince of Jin's Mansion.

But was this really done by King Liang? This question has always been hanging in Yi Lei's mind.
