After King Jin returned to the temporary camp, he handed the ancient book to Xia Yaze. After Xia Yaze took the ancient book, he read it carefully without blinking, not even missing a small detail.

As time passed, Xia Yaze's face became heavier and heavier. He frowned and said slowly, "Prince Jin, the contents of this book are too shocking. The book says that the mysterious sect is carefully planning a super-large rebellion that is clearly aimed at the royal family. They want to cause chaos in the world and even want to overthrow the entire Lufeng Dynasty from the root."

After hearing this, Prince Jin said decisively: "The situation is urgent. We must hurry back to the capital and report this important intelligence to the emperor so that he can make a decision as soon as possible and take measures to deal with this potential crisis."

Xia Yaze frowned and said worriedly, "The people from that mysterious sect will definitely try every means to stop us on the way back."

The King of Jin looked determined and answered firmly: "No matter what happens on the road, we must be alert and ready to fight at any time. Set out on time at dawn tomorrow! Bring the important intelligence back to the capital safely."

As night fell, everything was quiet. King Jin and Yi Lei gathered in the tent to discuss how to deal with the enemy.

Yi Lei came up with an idea: "I think we can act in two groups. I will lead one group to attract the enemy's attention, and you will lead the other group to find an opportunity to quietly return to the capital. This way, we can disperse the enemy's forces and ensure the safe delivery of intelligence."

King Jin nodded, expressing his satisfaction with the plan, and then instructed Yi Lei: "Well, this is a good idea. But your mission this time is not easy, you must be careful and cautious, don't underestimate the enemy, and don't rush forward rashly. The most important thing is to protect yourself, understand?"

The next day, just after dawn, when the sun had just come out, King Jin and Yi Lei acted separately according to the plan. Yi Lei led his troops forward in a swagger, constantly making noise along the way, trying to confuse the enemy and lure them into the trap.

The King of Jin, with Xia Yaze and several loyal generals, marched quietly without making any noise. Yi Lei's team made a big show in the open to attract the enemy's attention and let them chase them. The King of Jin and his men took the opportunity to bypass the enemy's heavily defended areas, skillfully shuttled through the mountains and forests, and quietly advanced towards the capital.

Sure enough, not long after, Yi Lei's army was ambushed and attacked by a group of people in black clothes. However, facing such danger, Yi Lei was not panicked at all, but very calm. He took the lead in commanding the soldiers to fight desperately and launched a thrilling life-and-death struggle with the enemy.

During the battle, Yi Lei cleverly used various tricks to confuse the enemy. He occasionally released some false information to the enemy, successfully interfering with the enemy's judgment and causing chaos among the men in black. After several rounds of fierce fighting, Yi Lei successfully shook off the enemy and met up with his father safely.

The King of Jin and his entourage remained alert and advanced cautiously, cleverly avoiding the enemy's eyes and traps, and arrived safely in the capital. Once in the capital, the King of Jin immediately went to the palace to see the emperor and reported the precious ancient book and other important information to the emperor.

After reading the intelligence, the emperor's face instantly became extremely gloomy. He frowned, and his eyes revealed a trace of worry and uneasiness. Then, he summoned the princes to the imperial study to discuss countermeasures.

When the princes arrived at the imperial study one after another, everyone's face was filled with a serious and heavy expression, as if they felt the huge pressure that was about to come. The entire imperial study was dead silent, with only slight breathing sounds coming one after another. The tense atmosphere filled the air, making it almost impossible to breathe.

The King of Jin stood in the center of the room, exuding a calm and resolute temperament. He slowly raised the yellowed ancient book and the crucial information in his hand, and then handed them to the emperor and other princes one by one. After everyone had carefully read them, the King of Jin took a deep breath and said in a low and firm voice: "The situation is now precarious. The conspiracy of the mysterious sect has developed to a level that cannot be ignored! If it is not stopped in time, I am afraid the consequences will be disastrous. Therefore, we must take decisive action quickly to curb the spread of its evil deeds."

The emperor nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with what the King of Jin said, and waved his hand to signal him to continue speaking. After receiving permission, the King of Jin took a step forward and continued, "The top priority at the moment is to send a group of smart and capable people to secretly investigate the detailed background and internal situation of the mysterious sect. We must dig deep to find out their hiding places and their core leaders. At the same time, we must also comprehensively strengthen the security and protection inside and outside the capital to ensure the safety of the lives and property of the royal family members and the general public. Find out the insiders and outsiders..."

The princes all nodded in agreement, expressing their approval of the King of Jin's proposal. The Emperor took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Seventh Brother! Your plan is brilliant. In that case, I'll leave it to you to handle! Remember to thoroughly investigate this case and protect the peace of our capital."

After the King of Jin respectfully responded to the order, he did not dare to delay and immediately began to make careful arrangements. He carefully selected a group of brave and resourceful men from among his many followers, and sent them to various places in the rivers and lakes to quietly conduct secret investigations.

All of these selected people were the confidants of the King of Jin, who were not only skilled in martial arts but also quick-witted. On the other hand, the security inside and outside the capital was also strengthened, and patrol teams shuttled through the streets and alleys day and night to ensure the personal safety of the royal family and the people.

Despite this, the shadow brought by the mysterious sect still hangs over the entire Lufeng Dynasty like a dark cloud. Both the emperor and the King of Jin know very well that this thrilling struggle is just the beginning...

The capital city has been quite unstable recently, especially after nightfall. The night patrol team has repeatedly detected people with strange movements roaming around the city, but every time the patrol team tried to approach them, these people disappeared in an instant like ghosts.

The King of Jin was very worried when he heard the news. He felt that the situation was not good. After careful consideration, he decided to lead a team of people to patrol the city at night to ensure the safety of the capital.

Late one night, the King of Jin led several trusted guards through the streets. Suddenly, a burst of urgent horse hoof sounds rang through the night sky. Everyone was excited and immediately galloped in the direction of the sound. Not long after, they saw several dark shadows gathering at the foot of the city wall, seemingly discussing something in a low voice.
