On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

This is also Lin Zhen’s biggest headache.

That group of Persians hid among the people, especially among the common people. There were only one or two Persians in a village, and the rest were ordinary villagers.

Once the imperial court began to arrest Zoroastrians on a large scale, these Persians would flee, and even use the common people as shields. In the end, not only would they fail to catch the mastermind, but the common people would become their scapegoats, and once the storm died down, they would continue to jump out.

Lin Zhen's face was gloomy. He turned his back to everyone and stared at the map.

And the place he was looking at was the most complex, chaotic and difficult Hejian County.

"General He is right. If we are to take action, we must wipe them out with lightning speed and not give them any chance to react."

He Mingyuan's pair of slender triangular eyes narrowed slightly into a slit, and rays of light burst out from them.

"We need to first find out where their lair is, then quietly mobilize a large force and lay a tight net to monitor their every move and uncover which officials in the imperial court are secretly colluding with them. At the same time, we need to send a group of reliable and resourceful men, disguised as beggars or displaced civilians, to blend in with the civilian population. We need to identify the mastermind behind this incitement and demagoguery, and continue to monitor their movements. When the time is right, we can agree on a time to launch a general offensive against the cultists in multiple locations, leaving them no chance to react."

Lin Zhen agreed with this method. It could be said that this was the simplest and most efficient method at the moment. He nodded and said domineeringly, "If handled properly, we can decide the outcome in one battle and ban the gods from Daqian!"

"That's right!" He Mingyuan echoed.

At this point, Lin Zhen frowned again and said worriedly, "But what if the people rise up in rebellion?"

He Mingyuan heard this, the murderous intent in his eyes became even stronger, and he sneered bloodthirstyly.

"Oh, you worry too much, my Lord. We have to suppress those dishonest people several times a year."

After saying that, Zhou Ze and Zheng Sanshan also laughed heartily.

"That's right, hahahaha. How can they oppose national policy? Whoever opposes will die!"

"How can a mere tens of thousands of cultists stop my Jinwu Guard army?"

Seeing the resolute expressions and confidence of several veterans, Lin Zhen couldn't help but feel a fire of determination in his heart. He gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"Okay, let's do it! I'll go to the palace and ask His Majesty for permission to avoid being criticized."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ze stood up and said, "Then I will mobilize the troops immediately. If we can capture these cultists as soon as possible, we can restore order to the world."

"Brother Zhou will lead the army, and I will be responsible for sending smart and capable soldiers to the people."

Lin Zhen bowed deeply to the three generals and said earnestly, "I'm counting on you all."

......

On the other side, deep inside the palace, in the Council Hall.

Murong Yan held the secret report in her hand, her fingertips trembling slightly from excessive force, her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were full of disbelief.

She could never have imagined that this secretive and powerful religious force had quietly infiltrated the people, and its growth rate was like wildfire. There were nearly 100,000 cultists in several important towns in southern Xinjiang alone. They worked hard during the day and worshiped the holy fire filled with evil under the cover of night.

This is shaking the foundation of Daqian!

Its heart is awkward!

If it were just that, it would be fine, at least there is an army to suppress it.

However, what chilled Murong Yan to the bone was that during the roundup of Liu Hanyang, the Hundred Cavalry Division dispatched over a hundred elite soldiers, but in the end, less than ten returned! Even the 300 elite cavalrymen of the Dragon Sovereign Battalion were slaughtered by the Zoroastrians without a single one left.

This is horrible.

At this rate of development, within two years, Daqian will be filled with Zoroastrians, and the army will not be able to suppress them.

Maybe they will take this opportunity to overthrow Daqian and turn it into a theocracy.

This was the first time Murong Yan had faced such a thrilling crisis since she ascended the throne.

This is much more terrifying than Lin Zhenxian holding a large army and intimidating the imperial court!

She put down the secret report in her hand and almost subconsciously ordered Murong Wushe beside her: "Quick, summon Lin Zhen to the palace."

"As you command." Murong Wushe was about to leave when he saw another eunuch walk in. "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's Guardian Lin Zhen is requesting an audience outside the palace."

Murong Yan said anxiously: "Hurry up and announce it!"

"As ordered, summon the Crown Prince's Guardian Lin Zhen to the palace for an audience!"

Lin Zhen's figure hurried past the palace gate, his steps filled with a hint of urgency. Seeing this, Murong Yan stood up involuntarily, her eyes filled with anxiety and anticipation as she looked straight at Lin Zhen.

"Lin Zhen, you..."

"Hush!" Lin Zhen quickly made a hushed gesture, his brows etched with alertness. Then, he bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Murong Yan looked confused and didn't understand what was going on, but she still sat back on the dragon chair and cleared her throat: "Ahem, Lin Zhen, what brings you here?"

"Your Majesty, I see that the weather is fine today, with a gentle breeze. Why don't we take advantage of this beautiful weather and go out for a walk together?" Lin Zhen kept winking at the people around him.

Murong Yan suddenly realized that Lin Zhen was worried that there were eavesdroppers on the other side of the wall.

A gentle smile blossomed on her lips, and she nodded gently: "Well, my dear, what you said is very much in line with my opinion. I also want to go out for some fresh air. Let's go together."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Murong Yan stood up.

Huanhuan beside him looked at Lin Zhen with complicated eyes, with a bit of resentment, and as if with a bit of pain of having her loved one taken away, but she still suppressed her emotions and supported Murong Yan as she walked out of the hall.

Lin Zhen followed behind. This was the first time he stood behind Murong Yan. His eyes lingered involuntarily in front of him. It was a pity that she was wearing heavy and complicated clothes, so he couldn't make out any outline. He only knew that she was tall, about 1.7 meters tall.

Her slender legs were hidden in the dragon robe. The breeze blew by, gently lifting her hair, which drifted slowly towards Lin Zhen with a faint fragrance. He took a breath of it, and it was fresh and intoxicating.

The Council Hall, as an important part of the imperial palace, stands tall and majestic, but not far away is the once magnificent Huaqing Hot Spring.

So Murong Yan and Lin Zhen walked around Huaqing Pool, one in front and one behind.

The water in the pond has long lost its former clarity and has a faint stench. The rockery and strange rocks in the pond have also been eroded by time and are covered with moss, adding a sense of desolation.

Murong Yan, this poor guy, didn't even bother to clean up the mess out of his own pocket.

"Hanhuan." Murong Yan instructed softly, looking at her tenderly, "Go keep an eye on the surroundings."

"Yes."

Huanhuan stopped, turned around and gave Lin Zhen another fierce look.

It was probably because Lin Zhen had completely crushed Gu Beichen, so she hated him so much.

Another poor woman designed by the author.

However, in a place where Lin Zhen didn't notice, Huanhuan gently raised her hand and summoned a young eunuch. She opened her red lips and whispered a few words. After hearing this, the eunuch's expression became stern, and he hurriedly took the order and left, leaving behind a mysterious back.
