The Great Chu Empire, the capital.

Imperial Academy.

Tingyuxuan.

A man in his forties looked at Yang Zailong and begged with a sad expression: "Senior Brother, if you don't take action, the sword-casting master of the Great Chu Empire will be over! Today is the Qinglong Swordcasting Office being investigated. Tomorrow, it will be our turn to Sequoia Swordcasting Office. Senior Brother, Sequoia..."

Yang Zailong turned his back to the other party, looking at the mountains and rivers outside the window with a solemn look.

In fact, his heart was extremely heavy.

Recently, the Hongyue case has caused panic among all parts of the capital.

The news that "The Red Moon has penetrated into the major sword-making departments in the capital, and it is only one step away from getting the new flying sword" is rampant.

In fact, this news is likely to be fake, but it is just that the enemy releases fake news to confuse everyone.

But the key to the problem is not the authenticity of the message, but the various reactions triggered by the message.

Because there were other things that came out with that news.

It is said that the reason why Hongyue is so smoothly approaching the closing department of the new flying sword is because the major sword-casting departments in Chu State have plates that he bought.

In other words, all major sword-making officials have spies from Lu.

These things may be true, but they may also be just a plan of alienation for the enemy.

But no matter whether the news is true or false, the anti-espionage agencies of the Great Chu Empire cannot remain indifferent and do nothing.

Therefore, in order to find out the truth and just in case, the most important anti-espionage agency of the Great Chu Empire, Qinglong Guard, began an investigation into the major sword-making departments.

It doesn't matter if this investigation is found, various problems have emerged one after another.

Because, no one's butt is clean.

Of course, as of now, it is not yet certain whether those people are really having problems, or are just framed by the enemy, or are just implicated.

But no matter what the situation is, those people cannot perform their duties normally for the time being and must be quarantined and reviewed!

However, in this way, most of the important personnel of the Sword Forging Department were quarantined and investigated.

The most serious thing is the Qinglong Sword Forging Department. All important officials were investigated, the entire Sword Forging Department was forced to close, and all the flying sword forging business was forced to be suspended.

If this continues, even if it is finally confirmed that these people are innocent, the reactions caused are no longer controlled.

At this moment, the person in charge of the Sequoia Sword Forging Department, Yang Zailong's junior brother, found him and cried and begged Yang Zailong to personally go to the Emperor to plead with him, asking the Qinglong Guard to suspend the investigation of the major Sword Forging Departments.

But when Yang Zailong heard this, although his face was solemn, he never spoke, let alone anything to agree to.

"Senior brother?"

The young man only knelt down with a thud.

At this time, Yang Zailong slowly turned around.

He turned around, looked at his junior brother, and asked word by word: "Junior brother, tell me the truth, have you been instigated?"

"Senior Brother, you..." The guy almost jumped up in shock, his eyes wide open.

He was shocked and horrified, and his voice was so loud that it could make people's ears deaf, but he reacted quickly and quickly covered his mouth, which made him swallow half of the words back into his stomach.

Yang Zailong narrowed his eyes, stared at the guy in front of him, and said expressionlessly: "Don't worry, I have already tied the barrier. No one can hear our conversation."

After a pause, Yang Zailong asked almost word by word: "Junior brother, tell me, have you also fallen into the enemy's trap and be instigated by them?"

"Senior brother, I..."

Yang Zailong interrupted: "Junior brother, let's talk about it after thinking about it!"

“…”

"Junior brother, if you really have a hard time, now tell me the truth, I may be able to help you, but if you don't tell me the truth, then... Junior brother, remember, there is only one chance! This Red Moon case is a big deal, even if I am, I can't protect you."

The young man was silent for a while, then lowered his head, knelt down in front of Yang Zailong with a thud, and started crying with tears.

"Senior brother, I was wrong. Senior brother, I'm sorry for you, but I have no choice. They threatened me with my daughter. If I don't obey them, they will take my daughter..."

Yang Zailong narrowed his eyes, but his face was still expressionless.

After a while, he took a deep breath and said word by word: "Junior brother, then you have only one way now, leave the Sword Forging Department."

"leave?"

"Well! After you go back, you will submit your resignation immediately, and then take the initiative to surrender to Qinglong Guard!"

"Senior brother, I..."

"Listen to me first!" Yang Zailong said, paused, and he continued, "You surrender voluntarily and strive for lenient treatment. Then I will go to his Majesty to plead with you personally. Maybe I can give you a relaxed treatment, but if you don't, you will be dead."

Outsiders may not know the harm caused to the Chu State's government, but Yang Zailong knows it.

In addition, he knows Kimp so well.

Therefore, there is no doubt that once the Hongyue case is solved, the court of Chu will be bloody. At that time, there will be fears that thousands of people will fall to the ground.

If his junior brother surrendered immediately now, he could still pick him out as soon as possible, but if it was too late, then...

No one in the Great Chu Empire can stop His Majesty the Emperor's anger!

Of course, if the Hongyue case is not solved, then...

Those who welcome the Great Chu Empire are probably not just bloody storms, but it is likely that the country will be destroyed and the clan will be destroyed!

at this time.

The Imperial Palace of the Great Lu Empire.

The Emperor of Lu was soaking in a huge hot spring, only the part above his neck was exposed, and his beautiful face was looming in the hazy mist.

After a while, a palace maid came hurried and reported respectfully: "Your Majesty, Hongyue secretly reported!"

"read!"

"The new flying sword was designed and cast by Sequoia Swordsman."

Um?

Hearing this news, His Majesty the Emperor, who had been leaning against him half-closing his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes.

The specific Sword Forging Department has been confirmed, so next, we will steal detailed information.

According to Hongyue’s ability, perhaps you can succeed in half a month at most!

At that time, the envoy of Lu should have arrived at the capital of Chu.
