Dongfang Shuo was stunned.

"Message?"

He was puzzled.

That man had been sent out by him for more than four days, and according to the distance of his feet, he was almost close to the imperial city at this time.

It took Dongfang Shuo five days to get here from the Imperial City, could this guy be able to get to the Imperial City in four days?

"Yes, it should have something to do with what you sent him to do, please take a look. ”

As he said this, Spy B moved towards Dongfang Shuo, and reached out and handed him the bronze compass in his hand.

But Dongfang Shuo, who was looking at the compass, shook his head and said, "I don't know how to use this thing, it's better for you to read it first and tell me that it's faster." ”

Spy Yi, who had already walked in front of Dongfang Shuo, was stunned for a moment, and immediately defended: "But this is ...... with Chuanxin Fei."

Dongfang Shuo shook his head again: "Come on." ”

Scout B was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in understanding.

So, a touch of spiritual power flowed in his hand, so he closed his eyes, and the news transmitted from the imperial city also appeared in his troubled sea.

When he opened his eyes, Dongfang Shuo immediately asked, "How?"

"He's already in the Imperial City. ”

Spy B.

Dongfang Shuo was surprised: "So fast?"

But Scout B said in a casual tone: "This is not fast, if you are familiar with the terrain of the empire, this time is enough to cross the empire." ”

It's as if the speed of Scout C should be normal.

In this way, it seems that Dongfang Shuo is slow.

But to be honest, on the way from the Imperial City to here, he also took a detour several times due to the obstruction of mountains and rivers, or had to postpone his trip for other reasons.

"So, what's the message from him?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

He said...... The matter has been fully investigated, but it needs to be sent to the Imperial City by Lord Dongfang before he can be informed. Scout B said.

And at this point, there was also a sigh in his eyes.

At this time, Dongfang Shuo also squinted.

"Can you tell me only if you go to the Imperial City?" he pondered.

With this kind of condition, it looks like a trap no matter how you look at it.

The system also said that the truth of this matter is related to the emperor, and since this is the case, the people he sent to the imperial city may have already informed Xu Changsheng and even the emperor of this matter.

And when it comes to the news he transmitted through this compass at this time, the whole thing is like waiting for a rabbit.

But despite this, this is also the only way for Dongfang Shuo.

Even if it was really a trap, Dongfang Shuo had to go, because he would have to go to the imperial city sooner or later.

"Lord Dongfang, in fact, ......" Seeing Dongfang Shuo's uncertain appearance, Spy B opened his mouth, as if he wanted to give him advice.

But Dongfang Shuo opened his mouth at this time, interrupted him, and said, "Then without further ado, let's set off for the Imperial City now." ”

Spy B was stunned.

"Lord Dongfang, this may be a trap. ”

He said.

The corners of Dongfang Shuo's mouth hooked: "The two of us have only known each other for five days, and this person who sent you the news has been with you for several years, but you choose to help me at this time?"

Spy B paused.

"I'm not helping you, I'm loyal to Lord Xu, but in the past five days, Lord Dongfang, you have also given me the trust and respect that I don't lose to Lord Xu, just like Fang Cai, you insisted on letting me see this news, this is the greatest trust. Therefore, I don't want to betray Lord Xu, but I also don't want to betray your trust in Lord Dongfang. He said.

Dongfang Shuo listened, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

But in fact, in his heart, there was a sour numbness.

This kind of thing, how to listen to it.

And as for trust or something, it should be purely this guy's brain supplement.

Take the matter of insisting on letting him read the news just now, although Dongfang Shuo also has a reason to gain his trust with this, but more importantly, Dongfang Shuo is too lazy to watch, and even if he doesn't let this guy watch it, this guy will inevitably watch it, so it's better to be a favor.

"So, what advice did you just give me?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

Spy B said: "I think that if Lord Dongfang still wants to investigate this matter, then we are bound to go to the Imperial City." But although I want to go to the Imperial City, it is not now. We have to wait, wait until the army of the second prince is drawn. If the second prince can send troops to the south, and then the second prince submits this letter, then the lord of the east must have the merit of protecting the country, and then go to the imperial city, and His Majesty the emperor will also come forward to protect you, and then you will really be safe. ”

This statement, from his point of view, is indeed very sensible.

And if it was changed, Dongfang Shuo might also adopt his suggestion.

But now, not really.

Because he knew that the emperor was probably the mastermind of this 'trap'.

"You're saying a good thing, but unfortunately there are still mistakes. Dongfang Shuo said.

Spy B was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong this time?"

"As you said just now, the second prince may not believe the letter, and he may not send troops. If he doesn't send troops, won't we have to wait a year and a half?"

"This ......"

"Also, even if he sent troops, and even if he made meritorious contributions according to what you said, His Majesty the Emperor may not be able to know that this letter was handed over to the second prince by me, and he may not ask at all, but will directly believe that this letter was intercepted by the second prince. ”

"Yes...... The second prince is in the north, how can he intercept the letters from the south?"

Spy B asked.

But Dongfang Shuo smiled: "Do you think the important thing is this letter?"

"Isn't it?"

"What's important is the feudal official. No matter what position the official resides in, no matter how much power he has, he must never challenge the imperial power, and this is the bottom line of the road to power. Dongfang Shuo said, "The feudal official has the capital for breakfast, will the emperor himself not know? He must know, but he is suffering from the fact that he has no excuse to get rid of the feudal official, and the second prince has sent an excuse, so why should he make a mistake and explore the origin of this letter?"

"This ......"

Spy B was silent.

He really didn't think it was that far-reaching.

"So, instead of waiting, let's go straight and strike. Dongfang Shuo said, "There is no doubt about employing people, I am willing to believe in the person I sent out, even if there is only a few words of fate between me and him." ”

His words immediately moved Scout B.

"I am willing to go with you, and if I can, let me show you the way forward before entering the Imperial City. ”

Scout B said.

Dongfang Shuo shook his head, but he didn't say anything more.

After drinking the hot tea in the cup in his hand, as soon as he put the cup down, he immediately left the courtyard, and Scout B followed closely behind.
