Traveling through time and space, being replaced by a bride, happily married into a marquis's m

Nine doors.

The Supreme Commander looked at Ling Ji and asked coldly, "Has Cheng Qingjun been exiled?"

Ling Ji lowered his head slightly and replied solemnly: "Commander, Cheng Qingjun has been exiled to a small border town and will never be allowed to return to the capital."

The Supreme Commander frowned, a barely perceptible worry flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly, "She is an elder in the sect after all. Is it too harsh to deal with her like this?"

"Commander, there is solid evidence that Cheng Qingjun betrayed the Nine Sects and joined the hostile forces. This punishment is to safeguard the interests of the sect and prevent internal strife." Ling Ji's tone was firm, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

The Supreme Commander hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Ling Ji: "Then what about the disciples under her?"

"Don't worry, Commander. Half of Cheng Qingjun's disciples have been purged, and the remaining half have been redistributed to other commanders and are under strict surveillance." Ling Ji answered promptly and concisely.

The Supreme Commander nodded slightly, his expression slightly relieved, but he said: "Regarding Cheng Qingjun's matter, do not publicize it to the outside world, so as not to cause unnecessary panic. As for the other disciples in the sect, we must strengthen control to prevent similar incidents from happening again."

"Yes, Commander." Ling Ji bowed respectfully.

At this time, a guard came in hurriedly and presented a piece of information. The Supreme Commander took the information, glanced at it, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Ling Ji, take a look at this information." The supreme commander handed the information to Ling Ji.

Ling Ji took the intelligence and quickly read it through, with a flash of surprise in his eyes: "Commander, is this true?"

The intelligence stated that hostile forces had secretly deployed a large number of troops on the border of Western Wei, attempting to capture Western Wei in one fell swoop.

The Supreme Commander said in a deep voice: "This matter is of great importance. We must respond as soon as possible. Ling Ji, you must immediately gather the masters of the sect to discuss countermeasures."

"Yes, Commander." Ling Ji turned and left, quickly summoning the masters of the sect.

The supreme commander looked at Ling Ji's back and sighed inwardly.

Just then, a spy came in to report.

"Commander, there's news from the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion, saying that the Loyal and Brave Marquis's wife Lu Yundi has returned to the mansion from the countryside..."

The Supreme Commander of the Nine Gates sat in the main seat with an expressionless face, his eyes as deep as the night, interrupting the spy: "Go on."

The spy nodded, took a deep breath, and continued, "After the lady returned home, she seemed to have made some unusual moves. According to the spy's report, the lady brought back a mysterious package."

The supreme commander frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, then waved his hand, signaling the spy to leave. After the spy left, he said in a deep voice to a deputy commander beside him: "Deputy Commander Li, go and make arrangements. I need to go to the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion in person."

Deputy Commander Li immediately responded and turned around to prepare everything.

At this time, the supreme commander recruited several spies and asked them one by one for information about the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion.

Spy A: "Commander, the guards at the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion have been strengthened recently, especially at the northern corner tower, where many sentries have been added."

Spy B: "Commander, the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery seems to have some secrets hidden in her package. I saw her quietly hand the package over to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's confidant after she returned home."

Spy C: "Commander, the atmosphere in the Loyalty and Bravery Marquis's mansion is indeed not right. I heard that the Loyalty and Bravery Marquis's wife has been secretly meeting with some mysterious people recently, and their topic seems to be related to the Nine Gates."

After hearing this, the Supreme Commander's eyes became even colder. He pondered for a moment, then said, "Okay, I understand. You go and rest first. I have something to take care of."

The spies left the room one by one, and the supreme commander sat alone in the room with a deep expression.

He picked up a purple clay teapot on the table, gently poured a cup of tea, and then tasted it slowly.

Soon, Deputy Commander Li came back and reported that everything was ready.

The supreme commander put down his teacup, stood up, straightened his clothes, and then set off for the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

Along the way, the Supreme Commander's expression was always serious. He knew the importance of this operation. As a mysterious organization in the martial arts world, the Nine Gates' influence should not be underestimated. As a noble family in the martial arts world, the actions of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion could affect the situation of the martial arts world.

Finally, they arrived at the Mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis. The Supreme Commander hid in the dark and observed the situation in the mansion. He found that, as the spy said, the guards of the Mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis had indeed been strengthened, but he still found a flaw.

The Supreme Commander quietly entered the Mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis and came to the residence of his wife Lu Yundi. At this time, Lu Yundi was talking with the old marquis, and the Supreme Commander hid in the dark, listening to their conversation.

"Old Marquis, the things in this package are very important. We must find the answer as soon as possible, otherwise there will be a storm in the world." There was a hint of worry in Lu Yundi's voice.

The loyal and brave marquis hesitated for a moment, then said: "Madam, I understand your concerns. I will deal with this matter as soon as possible, you don't have to worry."

The Supreme Commander's mind moved, and he decided to check the mysterious package. He approached quietly, stretched out his hand and was about to touch the package, when suddenly, a cold light flashed, and a sharp sword pointed directly at his throat.

"Who are you?" a voice asked coldly.

The supreme commander was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grabbed the sword blade and broke it with force.

He looked coldly at the man in black in front of him and said calmly: "I am the supreme commander of the Nine Gates."

The man in black's face changed and he immediately took a step back, but the supreme commander had already taken quick action and subdued him.

At this time, Lu Yundi and the old marquis came out, and they were both stunned when they saw this scene.

"Supreme Commander, why are you here?" Lu Yundi asked.

The Supreme Commander smiled faintly and said, "I am here to help you solve the mystery of this package. Now that we have met, let's uncover this secret together."

So, the four of them sat together in the room and began to study the mysterious package. Hidden in the package was a map with some strange locations marked on it.

After some research, they discovered that these locations were actually related to some secret strongholds of the Nine Gates.

The Supreme Commander's heart moved, he realized that the secret in this package might be related to the future of the Nine Gates.

The supreme commander looked deep in the eyes, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, as if he was repeatedly deducing something in his mind.

Lu Yundi and the old marquis looked at each other in bewilderment. They obviously had not yet fully recovered from this sudden change.

"Lu Yundi, old marquis, do you know the origin of the Nine Doors?" The supreme commander suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the room.

Lu Yundi and the old marquis looked at each other and shook their heads. The supreme commander took a deep breath and said, "The Nine Gates originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At that time, the world was in chaos and the people were living in misery. A group of like-minded martial artists secretly formed the Nine Gates in order to uphold justice and protect the people."
