Who put the yellow robe on me?

Chapter 223: Layout of the Capital

The man stopped and looked back at him: "Your Highness, do you have any further instructions?"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "Since you are here to deliver a message, can you bring a message for me?"

A hint of vigilance flashed in the man's eyes: "Oh? Your Highness Prince Yan, please speak!"

Jiang Chen nodded: "Tell your master to wash his neck and wait for me!"

The man snorted, and without stopping, he quickly left the tent.

Jiang Chen then asked the sentry outside the tent to notify Xuanyuan Feiyan to come in.

Xuanyuan Feiyan approached from a short distance away, his figure appearing exceptionally light in the moonlight. He noticed Jiang Chen's expression and asked with concern, "Your Highness, are you looking for me?"

Jiang Chen came back to his senses, his eyes softened a little: "Fei Yan, follow that man in black just now, keep following him and don't let him find you."

Xuanyuan Feiyan raised her eyebrows, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes: "I understand, this is exactly my strong point."

Jiang Chen looked at him with trust in his eyes: "Your Qinggong is second to none among us. I believe you can complete this task."

Then he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Be careful. If anything happens, report back immediately."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Xuanyuan Feiyan saluted with his fists, then turned and disappeared into the night, like a nimble swallow, silently.

Under the moonlight, Jiang Chen felt a little more relaxed.

He took a deep breath and felt the fresh night air mixed with the fragrance of grass and trees, which made him feel refreshed.

At this time, Xianyu Linyuan walked over, his expression solemn: "Your Highness, do you need me to send someone to deal with the man in black halfway?"

Jiang Chen shook his head, his eyes deep: "No need, his life or death is not important, the key is to find out who is behind him."

Xianyu Linyuan nodded, but still had some doubts: "But, if we let the tiger go back to the mountains, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, a hint of confidence flashing in his eyes: "With Feiyan following him, we can get more information. If we act rashly, we might alert the enemy."

Xian Yu Linyuan pondered for a moment and finally understood Jiang Chen's intention: "Your Highness is far-sighted and thoughtful. I understand."

At this moment, Jiang Sirou walked out of the tent, wearing a lavender cloak, looking particularly elegant. She walked to Jiang Chen's side and asked with concern, "Sixteenth brother, what happened just now?"

Jiang Chen turned his head, his eyes gentle, "Thirteenth Sister, a man in black just came over and left some information. I've asked Xuanyuan Feiyan to follow him and find out what happened."

Jiang Sirou frowned slightly, looking a little worried: "Fei Yan is not familiar with the capital. Will it be dangerous if he follows her?"

Jiang Chen smiled softly: "It is precisely because he is not familiar with the capital that he is less likely to be discovered. The other party will not recognize him, and even if an accident occurs, they will not associate it with us."

Jiang Sirou thought for a moment and nodded, "What you said makes sense, but do we need to send someone to investigate the situation in the palace?"

Jiang Chen looked into the distance, the moonlight shining on his face, reflecting a cold look: "Not for the time being, I have other plans."

He turned and walked towards the camp, shouting as he walked, "General Zuo!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Yongyu came quickly from outside the tent, with a hint of doubt on his face: "Your Highness, what are your instructions?"

Jiang Chen stopped, his eyes determined. "Send a pigeon to the Western Regions immediately, and have Deng Yunde and Zhou Liangwei come over overnight to join us."

Zuo Yongyu's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly regained his composure and said respectfully, "Yes, I'll do it right away."

Zuo Yongyu saluted with his fists, then quickly turned and left.

Watching him leave, Jiang Sirou was puzzled: "Sixteenth brother, why did you mobilize them here?"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, with a hint of mystery in his tone: "It seems that the situation in the palace is much more complicated than I expected. It's time to set up some intelligence networks."

Jiang Sirou nodded, but the doubts in her heart were not completely eliminated: "However, the changes in the palace are imminent, and we can't delay any longer."

Jiang Chen looked at her, his eyes deep and firm: "That's why we need to be fully prepared. The enemy is in the dark, we are in the light. Any rash action will only lead to our own destruction."

Jiang Sirou was silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "Okay, I support your decision."

Jiang Chen patted her shoulder gently and smiled warmly: "Don't worry, Thirteenth Sister, after we meet He Xiaowei, we will see what happened."

Jiang Sirou took out a letter from her sleeve: "Sixteenth brother, this is the letter I wrote to Xiao Wei'er. When Xiao Wei'er sees this letter, she will follow Dianzhang."

Jiang Chen took the letter and said, "Okay, Princess Thirteen, I'll have the regulations delivered to the Prime Minister's Mansion now."

On the other side, Xuanyuan Feiyan was like a flash of black lightning, shuttling through the woods.

The moonlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows and adding a touch of mystery to his movements. His footsteps were light and silent, not even disturbing a blade of grass.

"This man in black is really fast." Xuanyuan Feiyan sighed in his heart, but he was confident in his lightness skills and would never be thrown off easily.

Ahead, the man in black sometimes accelerated, sometimes paused, as if checking to see if anyone was following him. Xuanyuan Feiyan had long seen through his tactics and always followed him at a suitable distance.

"Where is he going?" Xuanyuan Feiyan was confused, but she observed the other party's every move more attentively.

The night breeze blew by, bringing with it the fragrance of distant flowers and plants, which was refreshing. Xuanyuan Feiyan used the sound of the wind and the calls of wild birds to cleverly conceal her tracks.

After tracking for a while, the man in black finally stopped in a valley. The terrain here was dangerous and surrounded by high rock walls, making it particularly hidden.

"Could his lair be here?" Xuanyuan Feiyan hid behind a huge rock, carefully poked her head out, and observed the movements of the man in black.

The man in black looked around, confirmed that no one was following him, and quickly entered a hidden cave.

"It seems there is a secret here." Xuanyuan Feiyan felt excited and decided to take the risk to follow in and find out.

He adjusted his breathing and quietly approached the cave entrance. A faint firelight emanated from within the cave, and the faint whispers of several people could be heard.

Xuanyuan Feiyan held her breath, pricked up her ears, and tried to catch their conversation.

"Is the mission completed?" asked a low voice with a hint of majesty in its tone.

"The message has been conveyed. I believe they will take action soon." The man in black replied.

"Very good, Your Excellency will be satisfied." Another voice said with a hint of coldness.

Xuanyuan Feiyan's heart tightened. "Sir? There really is someone behind them!"

He continued to listen, but heard the man in black ask, "What should we do next?"

The deep voice replied, "Wait and see what happens until they fall into my trap. I will tell my lord about this and speak well of you in his presence."

The man in black couldn't suppress his excitement: "Thank you!"

After that, the two went their separate ways.
