Zongwu: Start as Jinyiwei, invincible and powerful!

Of course, there's nothing wrong with this.

Zhou Meng whispered, "The Queen Mother's kidnapping is a shame for the royal family. The palace certainly didn't want the news to spread. If they had no other choice, why would they let us know about it?"

"You can think about these things later. For now, our top priority is to search for the Queen Mother. Gather the brothers immediately and search the entire city for her."

Lin Fan actually understood what Zhou Meng said. At the beginning, it was estimated that only a few senior executives knew about this matter.

Lin Fan had some guesses in his mind that perhaps in this world, the Queen Mother was still kidnapped by the Izumo envoys and taken to the State Guesthouse.

However, Lin Fan planned to first confirm whether there was an envoy delegation in the capital.

At this moment, the system prompt sounded again in Lin Fan's mind.

[Ding, the sign-in task has been triggered. Please go to the State Guesthouse to sign in. The sign-in reward is unknown! ]

Ok?

It seems that my guess was right.

Hearing that the sign-in task was triggered again, Lin Fan couldn't help but feel a little moved, but he didn't show it on his face.

There is no need to rush to sign in at the State Guesthouse.

"I understand, Uncle Zhou."

Lin Fan agreed and left Zhou Meng's room. He immediately summoned ten Jinyiwei warriors under his command and began a large-scale search in Yong'an City.

Of course, it was not only Lin Fan and his Jinyiwei who were taking action, but all the Jinyiwei who remained in the capital also took action.

In addition to the Embroidered Uniform Guard, people from the Huolong Villa, the Six Gates, the East Factory, and the West Factory also took action at the same time.

In an instant, the entire Yong'an City was filled with panic!

However, after working from morning till night, the five major departments worked together but still failed to find any trace of the empress dowager.

In the evening, after a quick dinner, Zhou Meng once again ordered the Jinyiwei of his five small flags to continue the search all night.

"Uncle Zhou, I don't think it's a good idea for us to just search around like a headless fly."

After the others left, Lin Fan stayed and whispered to Zhou Meng.

Zhou Meng sighed and said, "I know what you said, but what can we do? Regardless of whether we can find the Queen Mother or not, we must show our attitude of doing our utmost to search and rescue her."

Lin Fan deliberately asked in a guiding tone, "Uncle Zhou, have there been any outsiders in the capital recently?"

Zhou Meng thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Not long ago, an envoy from the Izumo Kingdom escorted Princess Izumo to the capital. It is said that they want to form an alliance with our Great Zhou."

Lin Fan said with suspicion on his face, "It's not surprising that something bad happened to the Queen Mother sooner or later, but it happened right after the Izumo delegation arrived. Could it be that someone from Izumo did this?"

Zhou Meng was shocked and confused when he heard this: "No way, Chuyun is just a small country. They are busy trying to curry favor with the Great Zhou. How dare they do such a treasonous act?"

Lin Fan said, "It's better to be safe than sorry. Perhaps everyone has the same idea as you, Uncle Zhou, and therefore neglected to search the diplomatic mission's residence."

"We've searched every other part of the capital, but we haven't found the Queen Mother. Furthermore, the city gates have long been sealed, so the thieves have no chance of getting her out. Why don't we give it a try? We might even achieve great success."

The reason why Lin Fan guided Zhou Meng and asked Zhou Meng to take others to the State Guesthouse was mainly because he didn't want to attract too much attention.

With this conversation between him and Zhou Meng, his visit to the State Guesthouse would not seem too abrupt and would not cause any unnecessary trouble.

Moreover, Lin Fan already had a plan in mind. He would wait until he checked in at the State Guesthouse and then act accordingly.

As a member of the Imperial Guard, Lin Fan had the emperor's order. As long as he did not expose the identities of the fake Li Xiu and Wu Huan in person, even if Wu Huan and the others discovered their whereabouts, they would not rashly attack the Imperial Guard.

If there are masters like Duan Tianya, Gui Hai Yidao and Cheng Shifei in the State Guesthouse at that time, he can also take advantage of the situation and get some credit for free.

If given the chance, Lin Fan certainly wouldn't mind getting promoted, getting rich, and holding power.

If there were no other court masters in the State Guesthouse, he would retreat immediately to protect himself.

If there was no chance to take credit, Lin Fan would not put himself in danger.

Zhou Meng naturally didn't know what Lin Fan was thinking. After hearing Lin Fan's words, his eyes changed for a while. After a while, he said solemnly:

"Okay, bring your people and follow me to the State Guest House. But you must be cautious and don't act impulsively."

"I know, Uncle Zhou," Lin Fan nodded slightly and had no objection to it.

After the agreement was reached, Zhou Meng took Lin Fan, another flag bearer named Lin Xiao, and twenty Jinyiwei strongmen, and headed towards the State Guesthouse under the cover of night.

"Everyone, separate and act accordingly. In half an hour, regardless of whether you have any gains or not, all will gather here."

When they arrived outside the State Guesthouse, in a shadowy place at the foot of the wall, Zhou Meng whispered instructions to the people behind him.

"Yes," everyone responded in a low voice, then dispersed and disappeared into the darkness.

"Be careful," Zhou Meng patted Lin Fan on the shoulder and reminded him before they parted.

"I will. Uncle Zhou, be careful too," Lin Fan responded to Zhou Meng, clasped his fists in salute, and then dived into the darkness.

Lin Fan quickly arrived at the wall of the State Guesthouse and used the gecko wall-climbing skill to easily climb over into the State Guesthouse.

As soon as Lin Fan's feet touched the ground, the familiar voice of the system sounded in his mind again.

【Ding! Sign in successfully! 】

[Congratulations to the host, you have obtained the Breath Concealment Technique! Note: After using this technique, you can conceal your own aura, and no one within a radius of 100 meters can detect it!]

Yes, this reward comes just in time!

Lin Fan was delighted and chose to use the reward without hesitation.

In an instant, Lin Fan successfully mastered the luck method of the breath-hiding technique.

The art of concealment is a special secret art of luck that does not require the accumulation of skills.

Lin Fan mastered the method of luck, and his breath-stealing technique was cultivated to perfection, and he could use it at will.

Lin Fan pondered for a moment, activated the invisibility technique, and sneaked deep into the State Guest House.

Lin Fan, who was in the state of invisibility, easily avoided the guards in the State Guesthouse and quickly found the room where the Queen Mother was imprisoned. He poked a hole in the window paper and saw the situation inside the room.

Similar to the plot of The World's Number One, the Queen Mother was placed in a large jar.

And next to the Queen Mother, there was another large jar.

Inside the jar was a young man who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a handsome face and bright eyes.

The Queen Mother called the young man "Young Master Cheng".

If nothing unexpected happens, this person must be Cheng Shifei, but I don’t know whether Duan Tianya and Gui Hai Yidao have arrived.

Lin Fan looked at the young man and thought to himself.

Lin Fan carefully checked and found that there were no guards around, so he gently opened the door and entered the room.

In the room, the Queen Mother and Cheng Shifei stopped talking and looked at the person when they saw someone coming in.
