Traveling through time and meeting fellow villagers, the secret code is right

Mingzhe nodded slightly to show his approval, "But... we need to conduct a more in-depth investigation and look for evidence."

"Brother Mingzhe, where should we start now?" Yi Lei asked.

Mingzhe thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps we can start with Prince Changhui's old subordinates to see if we can find some clues."

Yi Lei's eyes lit up, "Yes, I will immediately deploy personnel to investigate and have them secretly explore the relationship between this mysterious sect and the Dafei royal family."

"At the same time, we must strengthen the security of the palace." Mingzhe reminded.

Yi Lei nodded in response, "Leave this matter to me. I will send more people to ensure that the palace is safe and sound."

After the two discussed and agreed, Yi Lei immediately summoned several trusted men and sent them to investigate the former subordinates of Prince Chang Hui and the movements of the mysterious sect. At the same time, Ming Zhe quietly left, preparing to contact his informants in the outside world to further spy on the inner affairs of the Da Fei royal family.

Time flies, and Yi Lei and Ming Zhe's investigation slowly yields some clues. Yi Lei's men found some strange things in the old subordinates of Prince Chang Hui, as if someone had secretly traveled between Da Fei and Lu Feng. Ming Zhe's informant also sent back news, which proved conclusively that there were indeed some unknown secrets hidden in the royal family of Da Fei.

Late one night, Yi Lei was in his study room looking through the intelligence sent by his men when A Shou knocked on the door and announced that Ming Zhe was here to visit.

"Yilei, I have a new discovery." Mingzhe said in a low voice.

Yi Lei stood up and walked forward, "Brother Mingzhe, what did you find? Tell me quickly, is there anything new?"

Mingzhe took out a secret letter from his bosom and handed it to Yi Lei, "This is what my informant just sent back. It mentions a key figure - the secret envoy of the Dafei royal family, named Lin Feng."

Yi Lei quickly glanced through the secret letter, frowning, "Lin Feng? Where is he now?"

"It is said that he recently appeared in the capital and seemed to be plotting something." Mingzhe replied.

"Then we must find him as soon as possible." Yi Lei said decisively, "He may have the key evidence we need."

----------------

The next morning, Yi Lei sent several capable men to various places in the capital to inquire about Lin Feng's whereabouts. At the same time, Mingzhe also used all his resources through his own channels to find this mysterious emissary.

A few days later, there was finally news. Yi Lei's men found Lin Feng's trace in a secret teahouse. Yi Lei and Ming Zhe decided to go there in person to try to get more information from Lin Feng.

As night fell, the streets of the capital were deserted, but the teahouse was brightly lit. Yi Lei and Ming Zhe quietly sneaked in and found the private room where Lin Feng was. The two looked at each other, nodded, and then pushed the door open and walked in.

Lin Feng was sitting alone at the table. When he saw the two people suddenly break in, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Who are you?" Lin Feng asked coldly.

Yi Lei stared at Lin Feng sharply, "It doesn't matter who we are. What matters is what you know. What exactly is the Dafei Kingdom plotting, and what is that mysterious sect!"

Lin Feng raised his lips slightly, "Why should I tell you?"

"Hmph, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit." Yi Lei said as he kicked over the chair in front of him.

Lin Feng was silent for a moment, a cunning light flashed in his eyes, "You want to know the truth? Then follow me." After that, he stood up suddenly and walked towards the door.

Yi Lei and Ming Zhe looked at each other, and although they were full of suspicion, they followed closely. Yi Lei gave a subtle wink to Fu Lu Shou who was waiting in the dark. After Fu Lu Shou understood, the three of them split up into three groups. Ah Fu went to find King Jin and his men to report the news, while Ah Lu and Ah Shou went to find support and the other continued to follow in secret to protect them.

Lin Feng led them to a wasteland outside the city and stopped.

"What kind of secrets can a place like this have..." Yi Lei asked impatiently, but was suddenly interrupted by Lin Feng, who led them to a dilapidated wooden house.

"Come in, the answer is inside." Lin Feng pointed at the wooden house and said softly.

Yi Lei and Ming Zhe looked at Lin Feng suspiciously, "What tricks are you trying to play?!"

Lin Feng's face was full of sarcasm, "You were the ones who came to me and asked me a bunch of questions. Now I give you the answers but you are afraid? I gave you the chance but you are useless~"

Yi Lei angrily kicked Lin Feng, "I gave you face, didn't I? If I didn't give you a beating, you would really go crazy! Go open the door!!!"

Lin Feng knew he was at a disadvantage, so he pushed open the door of the wooden house. The house was dark, with only a flickering oil lamp, which dimly illuminated the surroundings. The wooden house was simply furnished, with some shabby furniture and sundries piled up in the corners, and a damp and musty smell filled the air.

Yi Lei looked around and walked in after feeling no threat. Ming Zhe followed closely behind him. After entering, the two of them looked around vigilantly. Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed from the corner. Yi Lei quickly drew the short sword from his waist and held it in front of him. The dark shadow was just an old man with wrinkles on his face and a look of helplessness and fatigue in his eyes.

"Don't be nervous. He was a shadow guard sent to follow Prince Changhui many years ago." Lin Feng's voice came from behind him, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was laughing. "When he received the order to hand over and return to Dafei, he was shocked to learn that the king of Dafei wanted to get rid of him. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to escape. He knows some secrets about Dafei and that mysterious sect."

The old man tremblingly took out a roll of yellowed parchment from his arms, raised his head and looked at Lin Feng. After Lin Feng nodded in confirmation, he handed it to Yi Lei as if he was holding a rare treasure, "This is the information I have collected with great difficulty over the years. I hope you will not let me down."

Yi Lei carefully took the parchment and slowly unfolded it, only to see that it was densely packed with many unknown secret information. He frowned and read it carefully word by word, secretly marveling at the detailed and accurate information.

"Is the source of this information reliable?" Mingzhe asked doubtfully.

The old man nodded affirmatively. "I risked my life to obtain this information. Its authenticity is beyond doubt."

Yi Lei pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Lin Feng, "You brought us here not just for this information, right?"

Lin Feng's mouth corners slightly raised, with an ambiguous look in his eyes, "Of course, the real secret is hidden deeper."
