As Cheng Ying and the others watched Magistrate Zhang and the Blood Fiend Gang members depart, they couldn't help but exchange a smile!

The matter here has finally come to an end.

After Ye Wuhen and the others declined Qiao Yan's invitation, they got into the car and, once everyone was seated, they left Longyuan City without delay!

After some distance from Longyuan City, the car stopped next to a small grove of trees, and five people got out of the car!

After the five people got out, the car continued driving forward and soon disappeared from sight.

However, these five people went in the opposite direction from Cheng Ying and the others, and returned to Longyuan City.

While the carriage was moving, Ye Wuhen asked Duke Anguo, "Why doesn't the Duke allow them to use my token to carry out his duties?"

Duke Jiang Hao of Anguo said with a smile, "Your Highness Prince Rui, please rest assured. I gave them a letter and a token of my trust, which is more than enough. They don't need to take anything from you."

"Besides, we can't reveal all our cards. Just having me and Eunuch Yuanfu on the surface is enough."

"We can no longer expose His Highness Prince Rui and His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Besides, the five of them were only sent to monitor Magistrate Zhang and the Blood Fiend Gang's next move, and also to see if there were any fish that had escaped."

"Besides, I've already given instructions. If there's any emergency, they should contact the border troops in Longyuan City. If that doesn't work, they've already taken their phones with them, haven't they? They'll contact us then."

Eunuch Yuanfu also said, "Your Highness Prince Rui, the most important thing for us now is to hurry back to the palace to see the Emperor, explain everything to him, and discuss the next steps together."

"Everything will be easier once the Emperor issues an order!"

Cheng Ying and the others were taken aback, only then realizing that this was, after all, the era of imperial power, and only when the emperor gave an order would others dare to do things!

Cheng Ying, Ye Wuhen, Ye Jinxuan, Chu Qiao, Liu Haoyang, and Shi Mobai looked at each other in bewilderment. Sigh! There was nothing they could do but return to the palace first.

……

In a quiet room in Longyuan City, the Thunder Eagle Gang had an incense burner burning with a faint fragrance. Behind the desk sat a man dressed in a black robe.

His hair was meticulously combed back and tied with a black and gold hair tie. The man was holding a calligraphy brush and writing something continuously.

Fifteen minutes later, he stopped writing, put down his brush, picked up the paper he had just finished writing on, blew on it to dry it, and planned to put it in the envelope after it had cooled down.

Just as he was about to pick up another letter to look at it, there was a knock on the door.

The man frowned in displeasure, but still said, "Come in."

The man didn't even look up, continuing to read the newly opened letter. Only after he finished reading the entire letter and put it back in the envelope did he look up at the person who had entered.

The newcomer was a woman in her mid-twenties. She wore a light blue gauze dress, had a fair and beautiful face, and her large eyes seemed to look at everyone with deep affection.

This woman is none other than Ren Xue, the leader of the Thunder Eagle Gang, who has joined the Blood Fiend Gang. Legend has it that the leader of the Thunder Eagle Gang is always meticulous and a master of poisons.

Even though most of her gang members are women, the men are all outsiders and their status in the gang is not as high as that of the women. Most of them are just underlings who follow their orders, or you could say they are just thugs.

It seems that the rumors circulating this time that the Thunder Eagle Gang has sided with the Blood Fiend Gang are definitely exaggerated. Only their own people know the real story behind this.

The man glanced at the woman in front of him, then picked up another letter, but still casually asked, "Is there something you need?"

The woman then spoke, "Master, something happened today that concerns the Flame Wolf Gang."

"Oh! Go on!"

"Here's what happened: when Bai Sha was chasing the Flame Wolf Gang, he was rescued by a group of people who happened to be passing by."

Upon hearing this, the man paused in his actions and put down the letter in his hand!

"Do you know who it is?" the man asked.

The woman nodded and said, "I heard it was the Duke of Anguo and several officials, and also an eunuch from the palace."

"But we don't know his specific identity yet."

"However, I have already sent people to investigate."

Ren Xue looked at the man in front of her and said respectfully.

The man in black was actually Prince Gong, Ye Qingzhao, who was also the current emperor's cousin!

According to custom, princes from various fiefdoms are not allowed to return to the capital without an imperial edict, but Prince Gong happened to appear in Longyuan City in Jingzhou, which is quite intriguing.

He took out a secret letter and said, "No need to investigate anymore, I already know who they are!"

"This secret letter was sent from Lin'an City. Take a look!"

Ren Xue reached out and took the secret letter, quickly opened it and began to read. After he finished reading the contents, he suddenly looked up and said:

"I never expected that the eunuch would be Eunuch Yuanfu, who was by the Emperor's side. The letter said that Eunuch Yuanfu was sent by the Emperor to help Duke Anguo find his youngest son."

"It seems they've found it after they came back."
