"Big brother! Come quick! There's a hidden door here!" Su Rui shouted loudly.

"Oh!?" Lord Daryl gave General Kova a deep look. General Kova, who had been calm just moments before, was now sweating profusely.

"Lord Daryl! I advise you not to go too far!" Just as Lord Daryl was about to go to Su Rui's side and open the hidden door, General Kova blocked his way.

"What?! Feeling guilty?" Lord Daryl questioned.

“Hmph! I have nothing to be ashamed of, but since you don’t have the Regent’s edict and I am not under your command, you have no right to search my general’s residence!” General Kova said.

"If you had said this earlier, you might have been able to be a little more assertive. But now that you're saying this, don't you think it's too late?" Lord Daryl sneered.

"Dallier! Don't push your luck!" General Kova was also getting anxious; he couldn't let Darlier open that secret door.

"Go open the secret door!" Lord Daryl winked at one of his close attendants, while he himself stood in front of General Kova.

"Dallier, if you insist on doing this, I'll fight you to the death!" General Kova roared.

"Then let's go!" Lord Daryl had nowhere to retreat at this point. If he didn't find evidence of General Kova's treason, he wouldn't be able to get away with this unauthorized attack on Tarrenburg that caused heavy casualties on both sides.

"I'll fight you to the death!" Although General Kova had been disarmed, he still swung his fists and charged at Lord Daril. The Xuanwu City soldiers beside him were no match for him and were instantly knocked to the ground.

"You're courting death!" Lord Daryl sneered, then drew his sword and charged forward.

"Bang bang..."

"Shoot..."

"Ok!"

"Oh!"

"Pfft..."

In just a few exchanges, General Kova was defeated. He was no match for Lord Daril to begin with, and now he was unarmed, while Lord Daril was wielding a sword. So, in just two rounds, Lord Daril slashed General Kova's waist, and blood flowed down his face.

Following closely behind, Lord Daryl delivered a kick to General Kova's abdomen, sending him flying four or five meters away. He collapsed to the ground like a shrimp, unable to get up.

"Whoosh!" To prevent General Kova from escaping, Lord Daryl personally guarded him, while the Xuanwu City soldiers, having received orders, rushed to Su Rui's side. They kicked open the hidden door and rushed inside.

Su Rui didn't rush in with these people, fearing there might be traps or ambushes inside. Instead, he went outside and stood with Lord Daril.

About twenty minutes later, a junior officer ran out and knelt on one knee before Lord Daryl, saying, "Your Highness, we have discovered a large amount of gold and silver treasure in the secret chamber, and we are currently counting it."

"General Kova, explain yourself. With your salary, you couldn't possibly have amassed such a fortune!" Lord Daryl said in a condescending manner. Even if he couldn't find evidence of General Kova's collusion with the Moraka Brotherhood, he could easily extricate himself from the situation.

If General Kova can be found guilty, even if he is just drawing a salary without working or embezzling military funds, then Lord Daryl will be a meritorious official, and his previous reckless actions will have a reasonable explanation. In this way, he will not be punished.

Moreover, based on these gold and silver treasures of dubious origin, General Kova's crime is not light, and in this way, Marshal Salo's previous great grudge can be considered avenged.

"Report! Lord City Lord, we found a dozen letters in the hidden area, but the contents are all encrypted, and we have no way of knowing them." Another junior officer ran over.

"Let me see it!" Lord Daryl took the letter, and sure enough, the contents were all gibberish.

"Brother, can I take a look?" Su Rui asked Lord Daril.

"Can you understand it?" Although Lord Daryl was a little doubtful, he still handed the letter to Su Rui.

"Hmph! This is the evidence of General Kova's communication with the Moraka Brotherhood! These letters were written to him by a man named Momo!" After receiving the letters, Su Rui immediately saw their contents. Because Su Rui had previously obtained a codebook, as long as he carried it with him, he could understand the Moraka Brotherhood's secret letters.

"What?! You mean Momo?!" Lord Daril was taken aback.

"Yeah! What's wrong?!" This time it was Su Rui's turn to look blank.

"This Momo is a high-ranking member of the Moraka Brotherhood; he's the Brotherhood's head of intelligence!" After explaining, Lord Daryl looked directly at General Kova and questioned, "What else do you have to say now?"

"Heh... The victor is king, the loser is villain, but you won't have a good ending either!" After saying that, General Kowa spat at Su Rui and Lord Daril, and then his body slumped to the side.

"Lord of the city... he's dead... he took poison..." The soldier next to him immediately stepped forward to check, only to find that General Kova was already dead.

"Hiss..." Lord Daryl gasped. This General Kova actually hid poison in his teeth, which meant that he was not a kingdom general who had been bought off or corrupted by the Moraka Brotherhood, but a true member of the Brotherhood!

“This is troublesome!” Lord Daryl frowned, then said to Su Rui, “Brother, could you please translate all these secret letters and then come with me to the royal city?”

"Ding! Lord Daryl has issued you a temporary mission! Accept?"

"Yes!" Su Rui accepted the task first, and then asked, "When do we set off?"

"The sooner the better!" said Lord Daryl.

"Alright, you take care of things here first, I'll go back to Xuanwu City and wait for you!" Su Rui said to City Lord Daril.

"Hmm!" Lord Daryl nodded, and then Su Rui began to conceal the return-to-city spell.

With a flash of white light, Su Rui returned to Xuanwu City. He then began to translate the contents of the secret letters, which were written by Momo to General Kova. According to the contents of the letters, Kova had been a member of the Moraka Brotherhood almost before he joined the army. He was not a traitor to the kingdom at all, but a spy for the Brotherhood from the very beginning.

Over the years, General Kova has done a lot for the Brotherhood. These gold and silver treasures were not his reward from the Brotherhood, but rather something he obtained through various means. Moreover, these gold and silver treasures are only one batch. Once he has collected more, he will transfer them all to the Brotherhood, just like before.
