Chapter 10 – The Phantom of the Ice Sea

"Your Majesty, after this period of overt and covert visits, Wechen has also found out that the ability they use is the legendary soul ability, and it is still a kind of inheritance relationship with what we are prevalent now............. "At the end of the night, a soft moonlight shone on the edge of a palace city, and through the moonlight, you can see where this deep voice came from. www.biquge.info At this moment, the entire Miyagi City and even the entire city were silent, and even the patrolling guards were patrolling lightly, so it was natural to be able to hear the location of the sound.

In this vast palace city, there is an imperial study room that archives nearly 10,000 books. Of course, not all of this collection is in this imperial study, and there are also some of the holy decrees and handwritten letters of the emperors who have survived in the past. Over the course of hundreds of years, the secrets of this imperial study are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. It is precisely for such reasons that the royal family ordered the palace guards to guard the entrances of the imperial study, and even the windows were guarded. It can be described as heavily guarded, and ordinary people who want to enter this imperial study are tantamount to asking for their own death. Even if a minister wanted to enter the Imperial Study, he had to have a holy decree or a personal warrant from His Majesty the Emperor, so that the guards could put them in the Imperial Study. Otherwise, nothing will be said, and the intruders will be greeted by the ruthless blades and even the killing of these guards.

In the whole world, there is only one person who can enter this imperial study at any time, and that is the Ninety-Five Supreme in the world - His Majesty the Emperor who controls the power of the world and controls life and death. At this time, she was looking for things in the ten thousand volumes of books in the imperial study, which she had always wanted to find but did not have the time. Now, the country has also been pacified, and the people and the army have begun to recuperate. For His Majesty the Emperor, she now had the time to immerse herself in this imperial study and read a lot of things that she had never had the opportunity to read in the first place.

At this time, a confidant guard commander who had been ordered by her to go to the Demon Spirit Continent to investigate the situation finally returned here today, and as soon as she arrived here, she immediately returned to report to His Majesty the Emperor everything she had discovered. The voice just now was the one she sent when she reported the news to His Majesty the Emperor.

His Majesty the Emperor is none other than Chen Xinyu, the Empress of Virtue, who has always been accustomed to thinking very differently from ordinary people, although she is light in age, she is very clever in her means, and her thinking is also very wise. Chen Xinyu has been staying in this imperial study for nearly half a month to investigate the situation. For her, now that both the country's economic and military strength is steadily recovering, and in the series of stable policies she has implemented, the people who have left the country have gradually shaken off the troubles of war and begun to enter a period of recuperation. In this way, Chen Xinyu needs to manage and pay attention to fewer things. She handed over part of her daily affairs to Prime Minister Di Yan. And what she now has in her hands is the military power and spy agencies. These two things are powers that almost no emperor will delegate to the outside world, and it is natural that Empress Shotoku will not be an exception.

The secret agent agency controlled by Chen Xinyu had already prepared a strategy for dealing with the Demon Spirit Continent as early as two or three months before the merger of their Xuanling Continent, and she secretly ordered her henchman guard captain Ye Zhen to lead more than 100 henchmen to carry out intelligence work in the Demon Spirit Continent in the name of material transfer and caravans. Due to Ye Zhen's outstanding ability, coupled with Chen Xinyu's full support behind them, after a month of exploration and preparation, they have also purchased shops in Zhongcheng, the capital of the Feng State, and Xuancheng, the capital of the Qi State, as a cover for them to carry out intelligence agencies. Ye Zhen, on the other hand, personally sat in charge of the Zhongcheng intelligence point "Han Ji Grocery Store", preparing to further develop and infiltrate the intelligence agencies that had left the country into the entire Demon Spirit Continent. Chen Xinyu also trusted Ye Zhen very much, and handed over all the intelligence agencies on the entire Demon Spirit Continent to her.

And at this time, Ye Zhen heard about an earth-shattering change that had happened on the Xuanling Continent, the Qi State Departure Alliance Army broke through the largest city on the Xuanling Continent - Checheng, and the news that Chen Xuan, the head of the Chen family of the royal family, committed suicide in despair. Ye Zhen couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis, the loss of the city also meant that leaving the country to reunify the Xuanling Continent, which also meant that the original power structure in the country would suffer a great impact. In order to balance, Her Majesty the Empress Shengde must bring in officials from the Chen family of the royal family who surrendered, which may also impact a kind of power of her own, so Ye Zhen, who was a little anxious and even urgent, secretly rushed back to Checheng overnight with the help of the merchant ships of the Qi State. This time she returned to the country and left the country, Ye Zhen nominally wanted to report the situation in front of her to Empress Chen Xinyu, but in fact, she wanted to see the situation and confirm that she was not on the cusp of the balance of power.

Chen Xinyu is also well aware of his henchmen and guards' thoughts. As the intelligence leader on the Demon Spirit Continent, she can directly hand over this kind of matter to her subordinates, and let them come back to report the news, and there is no need to come over in person. It's just that, as an emperor, even if she doesn't like it very much, she has basically learned to do nothing without showing her looks and traces, and hiding in the city. In the imperial study, Chen Xinyu listened to Ye Zhen's report with his hands behind his back, in fact, the news that Ye Zhen wants to report now is also a matter about the "instrument soul", and other things, including their current development trend on the Demon Spirit Continent, Chen Xinyu has already received Ye Zhen's express report.

However, Chen Xinyu still relies heavily on his small ability. So, when Ye Zhen finished reporting this matter, Chen Xinyu turned around gently, picked up Ye Zhen, who was kneeling on one knee, with both hands, and said with a smile: "Actually, I also know that it is really a bit embarrassing for you to let you struggle like this alone in a foreign country.............."

Ye Zhen's heart jumped suddenly, she couldn't help but be secretly frightened, Chen Xinyu suddenly told her these comforting words, which suddenly made her heart more and more uneasy. Of course, she is also a veteran of officialdom after all, and she is even more of Chen Xinyu's hair, so she still knows a lot about Chen Xinyu's kind of temptation. So, Ye Zhen thought for a while, and then said slowly: "Your Majesty loves the heart of the minister, and the minister can only repay the majesty if he is broken. ”

Chen Xinyu smiled slightly, she naturally didn't really want to weaken Ye Zhen's power, although she had the idea of power balance. But this still has to be built on the basis of the place where she can completely control, like the Demon Spirit Continent, which is the place she can't control. Naturally, she had to entrust these things to the people she absolutely trusted, and leave them to do it. And now, the reason why Chen Xinyu said this was just to test Ye Zhen. The real purpose, Chen Xinyu just wants to give her a new task.

Thinking of this, Chen Xinyu said with a smile: "In fact, the current situation on the Demon Spirit Continent is still a situation where the two countries of the Closed State and the Qi State are in opposition, what we have to do now is how they took advantage of the internal war between the countries of Qi and the country where they left the country to make good use of the internal strife between their feudal countries and Qi to fight for the interests of our own country." I don't need to go into details..........."

Ye Zhen in front of him naturally understood the meaning of Chen Xinyu's current sentence, among which Feng Ye Zhen was naturally more aware of his status and would not suffer any threat. This is enough to make Ye Zhen's heart extremely excited. So, she knelt down on one knee again and said in a deep voice: "Thanks to Your Majesty's trust, I will definitely develop this relationship and strive for the greatest benefits." ”

Chen Xinyu turned around with a smile, and the calmness in her original tone also changed with the development of the situation in front of her, becoming a kind of easy-going and ordinary when talking to Fa Xiao. "In that case, I'd like to treat you to a drink, since we sisters haven't seen each other for a long time. Now we can't talk about these official things all the time, it's too boring............. "Speaking of this, Chen Xinyu took the initiative to come up and hold Ye Zhen's arm, raised his hand and pointed to the tallest building in the city through the window, which is also Chen Xinyu's favorite place to go to Wanghai Pavilion, from that side, you can see the scene of the whole city at midnight, and admiring the moon and drinking here is also one of Chen Xinyu's favorite things.

Chen Xinyuhe's expression and movements were very easy-going, Ye Zhen in front of her was more and more calm, since this is the case, there is no need to worry about these things, she responded with a smile: "In this case, how can I refuse?

Although Chen Xinyu's girlish temperament is usually hidden in the imperial tone and actions that she has long been accustomed to, she is now facing no one else, but Fa Xiaoyezhen, one of her only two best friends. So, Chen Xinyu's expression and movements also returned to their former days, and when she heard Ye Zhen mention what happened when she was a child, she responded with a very happy smile: "Okay, this is what I've been looking forward to for a long time, let's go, let's start here!"

As soon as he finished saying this, Chen Xinyu in front of him had already pushed open the originally closed door of the imperial study with a very fast speed and rushed out, and Ye Zhen behind him immediately sped up his pace and followed the tracks, chasing Chen Xinyu in front of him. The guards who were originally guarding the door of the imperial study didn't react to what was happening in front of them at all, they just saw two storms swept away by the wind, rushed straight away from their side, and then disappeared from their field of vision. The guards looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly............
