Phoenix Dance: The Eldest Daughter's Physician Consort Shocks the World

After returning to the capital, Su Yao and the others did not go directly back to their residence, but instead found a secluded courtyard to discuss their next move.

Su Yao said with a solemn expression, "Although this trip to Qingfeng Village has yielded some gains, it has also plunged us into an even greater crisis. That mysterious organization and the person behind it who is manipulating the government troops have clearly regarded us as a thorn in their side. We must be extremely cautious about every step we take from now on."

Lin Yu nodded in agreement: "Miss Su is absolutely right. We must find out the lair of that mysterious organization and the identity of the manipulator behind it as soon as possible in order to turn the tables. I think we can start with those soldiers. Since their behavior is strange, we may be able to find some clues from them."

Princess Pingyang asked in confusion, "But how are we supposed to find those soldiers? They won't tell us on their own."

After pondering for a moment, Su Yao said, "We can gather information near the various military camps in the capital to see if there are any clues about the unusual movements or special markings of these soldiers. Young Master Lin, arrange for some people to handle this matter. Remember to be careful and do not reveal your identities."

Lin Yu accepted the order and left, while Su Yao and Princess Pingyang continued to study the list they had obtained from the old registrar of the Censorate in the courtyard, trying to find key information related to the mysterious organization.

A few days later, Lin Yu brought back news: "Miss Su, our people discovered that some of the soldiers had a special tattoo on their bodies, which looked like some kind of mysterious symbol. After some inquiries, we learned that this symbol was related to a martial arts sect. It is said that this sect is skilled in hidden weapons and poisons, and that they are elusive and have colluded with many powerful figures."

Su Yao's eyes lit up: "This is an important clue. Perhaps this martial arts sect is part of a mysterious organization. Young Master Lin, have you found out the location of this sect's stronghold?"

Lin Yu shook his head: "It's not clear yet, but I've had people continue to investigate, and I believe we'll have results soon."

Just as they were discussing this, someone knocked on the door. Su Yao asked warily, "Who is it?"

A deep voice came from outside the door: "Miss Su, it's me, General Chen."

Su Yao and the others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion. This General Chen was a military officer in the court, and they didn't usually have much interaction with him. What was he doing here?

Su Yao opened the door and saw General Chen walk in hurriedly. After looking around, he said in a low voice, "Miss Su, I know you are investigating a mysterious organization. I have come here to help you."

Su Yao asked in surprise, "General Chen, why are you helping us? Is there some misunderstanding?"

General Chen sighed and said, “Miss Su, to be honest, I have also suffered greatly from the persecution of this mysterious organization. They secretly control the supply of military rations, which often causes my soldiers to go hungry and their combat effectiveness to decline. I have reported this to higher authorities many times, but it has been suppressed, and I have even been threatened with my life. I know that you sincerely want to do things for the court and the people, so I am willing to lend you a hand.”

Su Yao hesitated after hearing General Chen's words, after all, they did not know General Chen well and did not know whether what he said was true or false.

Lin Yu said from the side, "General Chen, we appreciate your kindness, but this matter is of great importance, and we must be cautious. Do you have any evidence to prove your words?"

General Chen took out a secret letter from his pocket and handed it to Su Yao: "This is a letter I obtained by chance between a mysterious organization and a certain minister in the court. It details some of their conspiracy plans and I hope it will be of some help to you."

Su Yao took the secret letter and examined it carefully. She found that the contents of the letter were indeed related to the mysterious organization they were investigating, and she trusted General Chen's words more.

General Chen continued, "I also know that this mysterious organization has a secret base outside the capital, where they often discuss important matters. I can take you there, but we must act quickly to prevent them from moving."

After discussing it, Su Yao and the others decided to trust General Chen this once. They followed General Chen to an abandoned manor outside the capital. The manor seemed peaceful, but Su Yao vaguely sensed a dangerous aura.

Just as they were about to enter the manor, a large number of men in black suddenly emerged from all directions and surrounded them. The leader of the men in black sneered, "Su Yao, you've finally come. This time, you won't escape!"

Su Yao inwardly cried out in alarm, realizing she had fallen into a trap: "General Chen, why did you betray us?"

General Chen laughed loudly: "Su Yao, you're too naive. I've been cooperating with this mysterious organization for a long time, how could I possibly help you? Your investigation has already threatened our interests, today is your death day!"

Lin Yu said angrily, "General Chen, you shameless scoundrel, we misjudged you!"

Princess Pingyang also shouted, "You won't succeed!"

The two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle. Although Su Yao and the others fought back with all their might, they were outnumbered and gradually fell into a desperate situation.

Just then, the mysterious man reappeared, moving among the men in black like a ghost, and wherever he went, the men in black fell down.

The mysterious man shouted as he fought, "Su Yao, you guys run! I'll hold them off!"

Su Yao knew this was not the time to hesitate, so she, Lin Yu, and Princess Pingyang seized the opportunity to break out and escape from the manor.

Back in the courtyard, Su Yao was filled with self-reproach: "It's all my fault. I trusted General Chen too easily and almost got everyone into trouble."

Lin Yu comforted her, "Miss Su, don't blame yourself. It's not your fault. General Chen was too well hidden; none of us expected him to betray us. From now on, we must be even more careful and not be deceived by the enemy's appearances again."

Princess Pingyang also said, "Yes, Sister Su, we will definitely find a way to defeat them."

Su Yao nodded slightly, a determined glint in her eyes: "This failure has made us even more aware of the treacherous nature of the mysterious organization. We cannot be discouraged. Young Master Lin, let's reorganize the clues and find their weaknesses to completely destroy them."
