This girl's name is Yang Yan. It is Yang Duan and the youngest daughter. Yang Yan has been influenced by her father and brother since she was a child, and has a special hobby for force. At the age of thirteen, he passed the imperial court assessment and became a deacon and a low-level deacon of the Heishui Pavilion.

The low-level deacons were only the reserve force of the Blackwater Pavilion, and they did not have much opportunity to carry out their tasks. But Yang Yan showed his unusual intelligence analysis ability in it, and he was affirmed by his superiors in a short period of time, and with Yang Duanhe's background, it only took two years to rise to the status of a yellow-clothed deacon.

He Tian Peng has been getting along for a while. But Yang Yan looked down on Tian Peng a little. Because Tian Peng has only been in the Black Water Pavilion for a few months, but he is already a black-clothed deacon. It's a level higher than her.

The hierarchy of the Black Water Pavilion is divided by the color of the clothes. The lowest level is white, followed by red, then yellow and black. The four costumes represent four different hierarchical powers. Tian Peng entered the Black Water Pavilion, and he didn't even make a small contribution, but he was able to hold a high position, and many people were not convinced. This is especially true of Yang Yan. Yang Yan knew that Tian Peng was a student of Wei Yi. However, Wei Yu was the pavilion master of the Black Water Pavilion, and it was easy for him to appoint Tian Peng's position.

Yang Yan was dissatisfied with Tian Peng. But it doesn't show it on the face. Being in a family of eunuchs, although she is young, she already knows more about people than most of her peers.

Tian Peng didn't know that Yang Yan was dissatisfied with him. I thought it was just a unique way for this arrogant little girl to show her existence. He happened to be in his youth, and he always wanted to show his ability for the opposite sex. Tian Peng's own ability is not bad. But in his life, he has a lot of respect for his senior brother Chen Sheng, so when he talks, he always says, "How is my senior brother ......", so Yang Yan misunderstood even more that he was a little gentleman who would only rely on his teacher and senior brother. Tian Peng's ability during this period of time was actively ignored by Yang Yan.

"The emperor's secret decree said that we should establish a new intelligence base in Minzhong County and collect intelligence from all over Lingnan, what do you think we should do?" Yang Yan said slowly. After receiving the secret order, she had already come up with a lot of plans in her mind. Asking Tian Peng this question was actually just to embarrass Tian Peng. She wouldn't think that Tian Peng would be able to come up with an answer to the problem.

Hearing this, Tian Peng fell into a short period of contemplation, and only after a while did he say seriously: "The war in the south has fallen into a stalemate. Judging by the stagnation of the army, it already means that our army is already at a disadvantage. On the one hand, it is enough to show that the enemy's strength should not be underestimated, and on the other hand, it also highlights the weakness of our intelligence system in Lingnan. Otherwise, General Tu Ju would not have died in a crushing defeat. ”

Listen to Tian Peng's analysis. The vague mocking look on Yang Yan's face had faded a little. Tian Peng's inference was not far from what she thought.

Tian Peng continued: "Before the war began, the Black Water Pavilion had already sent a large number of spies into Lingnan. In the early days of the war, it still had a huge effect. However, as the war progresses, these spies have been pulled out, which means that our southern expeditionary army can no longer control the situation in the south. The reason why the emperor sent us to Minzhong County to reorganize the intelligence system is also based on this. The aborigines of Minzhong County are very similar to the aborigines of Lingnan, and the role of training such a group of spies is definitely greater than that directly sent by Heishui Pavilion. Moreover, coupled with their familiarity with the topography of Lingnan, they have played a huge role. ”

Yang Yan nodded. It could be seen that she was listening very carefully.

"So when we arrived in Fujian, the first thing we did was to recruit a group of locals who were familiar with Lingnan, train them systematically, and then sneak into various parts of Lingnan in batches to spy on the local military situation and provide reliable intelligence for the southern expeditionary army." Tian Peng said with a solemn expression.

Yang Yan let out a "hmm", and looked at Tian Peng's eyes slightly different.

"These can't be yours, Bishop?" Yang Yan asked tentatively. The emperor's intentions, Yang Yan could guess, and Master Wei Yu knew it even better. So she still didn't believe that Tian Peng could figure out the emperor's thoughts.

Tian Peng looked at Yang Yan, smiled, and stopped talking. In fact, he knew very well what Yang Yan meant by this. Looking at Yang Yan's red little face, he swept away the unhappiness in his heart. In fact, Tian Peng knew better what the emperor's intentions were. Heishui Pavilion was stationed in Minzhong County and sent Tian Peng in order to consolidate Chen Sheng's power in Minzhong.

Tian Peng is Chen Sheng's junior brother, and the pavilion master of the Black Water Pavilion is Chen Sheng's teacher, this arrangement is already strange enough. Those discerning ministers in the court knew that the emperor was helping Chen Sheng grow in a way that was almost like a sprout. This kind of move made the ministers of the court deeply puzzled. I don't understand what the emperor's intention is to cultivate Chen Sheng so hard. Some ministers even maliciously guessed whether Chen Sheng would be the illegitimate son of the emperor to get such favor from the emperor.

However, how could the emperor's thoughts be understood by the courtiers.

In the process of talking to Yang Yan, Tian Peng deliberately lowered his voice, and from time to time turned back to the more than ten guards who had deliberately distanced themselves from the two of them. Among these guards, there may be the eyes and ears of a certain force in the imperial court. So Tian Peng for them. It's always not very reassuring.

"These are the guards of my Yang Mansion, loyal and reliable." Obviously, discovering Tian Peng's thoughts, Yang Yan was a little unhappy. However, she has never had a good look at Tian Peng, and Tian Peng has long been accustomed to her fierce appearance. Even Tian Peng vaguely found that he seemed to like being scolded by Yang Yan, which seemed to be a very unfamiliar word often mentioned by his senior brother, well, this word is called masochism, right? Tian Peng thought secretly in his heart.

"It's still far from the county seat, and you won't be able to get to the city before dark. We're going to spend the night in the inn, and we're going straight tomorrow, what do you think? Tian Peng asked Yang Yan.

Yang Yan nodded and said, "It's okay." Time is also in a hurry, in the emperor's will, we will rush to Dongye within ten days, and we will be very hard in the next few days. Yang Yan turned around and beckoned the knight behind him, raised his horsewhip, and galloped on the official road, and more than ten war horses raised billowing smoke and dust, and then went away.

At the same time, in the other direction of the official road, a team of luxurious chariots and horses was slowly advancing.

In the slightly luxurious carriage, the handsome Li Shen was lying on the white thighs of a handsome maid, while the other maid was helping him pinch his muscles and bones just right, Li Shen closed his eyes and enjoyed it, and made a "hum" sound in his nostrils.

"Third son, my lord has an urgent letter!" After a rush of horses' hooves, a panting sound sounded beside the carriage.
