The Eldest Daughter Returns with Power

Yingqi said, "Miss, although we suffered considerable losses this time, we didn't come away empty-handed. At least we figured out some of the enemy's tactics." Her tone carried a hint of confidence.

Su Yunruo frowned, her eyes revealing worry, and said softly, "But the enemy will definitely be on guard next, and it will probably be more difficult to take action again." Her voice carried a hint of helplessness and anxiety.

Yingqi's gaze hardened as she looked intently at Su Yunruo and said, "But we can't just sit here and wait to die. Why don't we take advantage of the enemy's momentary lapse in concentration and launch a surprise attack?" Her voice was filled with determination and courage.

Su Yunruo nodded slightly in agreement, then pondered for a moment before saying, "However, we need to plan carefully so we don't repeat the same mistakes." Her eyes gleamed with wisdom and decisiveness.

Tang Qiu suggested from the side, "Miss, should we send someone to gather more information about the enemy? That way we can better understand their movements and plans." Her tone was filled with anticipation.

Su Yunruo pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, but be careful not to be discovered by the people in the manor." A hint of caution and vigilance flashed in her eyes.

Shadow Seven then asked, "Then who should we send?"

For a moment, the three fell into a brief silence, each pondering a suitable candidate. A tense and serious atmosphere filled the room.

Suddenly, Su Yunruo's eyes lit up, a hint of surprise flashing in them. She excitedly said, "I remember my uncle the emperor also sent me a few people. Ying Qi, do you know where they are hiding?"

Ying Qi nodded, indicating that she understood, and respectfully replied, "Yes, Miss, I know where they are hiding and can go find them immediately." After saying that, Ying Qi hurriedly left, leaving Su Yunruo and Tang Qiu in the room to continue discussing the follow-up matters.

Time passed slowly, and soon Ying Qi returned to the room with the others. Su Yunruo sat in a chair, her gaze sharply scrutinizing the group. Her expression was serious and focused, as if she wanted to discern something from them.

"You were all sent by my uncle, the Emperor, to protect me, right? So, who among you is the leader?" Su Yunruo asked, her voice calm yet exuding an air of authority.

At this moment, a tall, resolute-looking man stepped forward, clasped his hands in a salute to Su Yunruo, and introduced himself: "Miss, I am Lin Yi, the commander sent here this time." His tone was firm and powerful.

Su Yunruo nodded slightly, looking at Lin Yi with satisfaction; she had a good impression of him. Then, she continued, "Lin Yi, this mission is arduous, and we need someone with exceptional stealth skills and lightness techniques." Her gaze was sharp, as if it could pierce through one's heart.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi responded without hesitation, his gaze firm: "Don't worry, Miss. All my brothers have their own specialties. Among them, Zhang Qing's lightness skill is the most outstanding, and his stealth skills are also unparalleled." As he spoke, he glanced at a young man beside him and gestured for him to step forward.

Su Yunruo followed Lin Yi's gaze to Zhang Qing, her eyes firm and full of trust. She said softly, "Then the important task of gathering information this time is entrusted to you. Be sure to be careful and cautious." Zhang Qing was slightly taken aback, then clasped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Miss, I will certainly not fail in my mission." After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

However, at that moment, Su Yunruo suddenly seemed to remember something and hurriedly called out to Zhang Qing, anxiously instructing him, "Zhang Qing, wait until they change shifts tonight before going. Don't rush. Also, if anything unusual happens, make sure your own safety is guaranteed first." Zhang Qing stood aside and solemnly nodded, "Yes."

Night gradually fell, and all was quiet. Zhang Qing quietly set off, his figure disappearing into the darkness. Su Yunruo and the others waited anxiously inside, each second feeling exceptionally long.

After a long while, Zhang Qing finally returned. His steps were somewhat heavy, and he looked slightly tired, but his eyes revealed an undisguised excitement. Su Yunruo quickly stepped forward and asked anxiously, "How did it go?"

Zhang Qing took a breath, calmed himself down a bit, and then slowly said, "Miss, the enemy's defenses are more solid than we imagined, but I have still discovered some important clues."

Su Yunruo frowned, her expression grave, and said, "It seems we need to explore this mysterious place again. I really don't know what secrets are hidden in that mysterious place in the backyard of the General's Mansion." Her heart was filled with doubt and curiosity.

Lin Yi suggested from the side, "Miss, why don't Zhang Qing and I go and investigate again tomorrow night to see if we can get into that place? Then we'll come back and report to you, and you can think of a solution." His eyes were firm and calm.

Su Yunruo nodded slightly in agreement: "Alright, but you must be extra careful and not be discovered, so as not to alert the enemy. This time, you must ensure your safety and not easily reveal your whereabouts."

Lin Yi nodded solemnly and agreed: "Don't worry, Miss, we will be extremely careful and leave no trace for the enemy." He knew the importance of this operation and was determined to do his best to complete the mission.

Tang Qiu looked worried and couldn't help but say, "Miss, continuous adventures are too dangerous. If..." However, before she could finish speaking, Su Yunruo interrupted her.

Su Yunruo said firmly, "Tang Qiu, things have come to this point, we must forge ahead. If we cannot uncover the enemy's secrets, we will forever remain in a passive position and unable to take the initiative." She understood that there was no turning back now; only by facing the situation bravely could they find the answer.

Everyone fell silent, the atmosphere becoming somewhat heavy. Finally, they all returned to their rooms to rest and recharge, making final preparations for the operation the following night.

The following night, Lin Yi and Zhang Qing set off again. Inside the house, Su Yunruo, Ying Qi, and Tang Qiu were restless. Time passed second by second, and with each passing second, their worries increased. Finally, as dawn broke, Lin Yi and Zhang Qing returned.

Su Yunruo eagerly went to greet her: "How is it?" Her eyes were full of expectation and nervousness.

Lin Yi looked grave and shook his head, saying, "Miss, that place is heavily guarded; we almost couldn't get in. There's a room inside, but the layout is quite normal, and we didn't find anything unusual. This puzzles me; I don't know why the defenses there are so tight."

He continued, "Later, when they changed shifts again, we took the opportunity to sneak out, but we were almost discovered. Fortunately, Zhang Qing was quick-witted and led me to escape the scene quickly, so we were able to return safely."

Su Yunruo frowned, lost in thought. She had initially thought she could find some clues, but now it seemed things had become more complicated and mysterious. However, she was not discouraged and decided to continue her investigation.

“Since the defenses there are so tight, there must be something important in that room,” Su Yunruo said firmly, a resolute glint in her eyes. “We must find a way to figure out what secrets are hidden inside.”

Ying Qi and Tang Qiu exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.

“In that case, I will go to the Su residence to find my eldest and second senior brothers and discuss this with them,” Su Yunruo said.

“Miss, you haven’t slept all night. Rest for a while before going to find the eldest and second young masters. There’s no rush,” Tang Qiu said from the side.

"Alright, I'm going to rest for a while. You all should go and rest too; you've all been working hard all night," Su Yunruo said to everyone.
