Gu Xun quickly returned to his Imperial Master's Mansion and found the only person in the mansion other than ordinary servants - Yingge.

She has been staying at the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion recently.

During this period, Ayan hid her identity and was working as an undercover killer and pretending to be a peasant hero. Of course, someone had to pretend to be her to deceive the outside world.

This person is Yingge.

Being searched by Gu, Ying Ge was quite nervous.

She wasn't afraid of Gu Xun before, but now she pretends to be his daughter... Even though it was Ayan's own request, it was still a bad deal.

It's hard to say whether Gu Xun will mind.

However, Gu Xun usually doesn't engage in such unreasonable anger. He came to Yingge purely for business reasons.

"grown ups……"

As soon as they met, Yingge was about to bow and apologize, but Gu Xun interrupted her with a wave of his hand.

"Stop talking nonsense, I have something serious to do for you."

After speaking, Gu Xun directly took out a few envelopes and handed them over.

Ying Ge didn't know why, but he still quickly took the letter without daring to read it carefully.

"Send these letters to Bai Feng as quickly as possible, and ask him to send them out according to the instructions on the envelopes. It must also be fast, and at the same time, it must be kept confidential, top secret!"

Gu Xun emphasized the importance of confidentiality once more as a reminder.

Yingge understood immediately, put away the letter, nodded in agreement, but immediately showed hesitation and asked, "Sir, what will happen to the eldest lady when I leave?"

"Hmph..." Hearing this topic, Gu Xun couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. After a pause, he replied, "Don't worry about this matter anymore. I'll let Black Qilin take over."

Ying Ge nodded when he heard this and said nothing about it - they were not close to each other, and it was not her turn to talk about the affairs of father and daughter.

"My subordinate will go and deliver the things right now."

"Well..." Gu Xun responded casually, and then reminded, "Bai Feng is with Han Fei now, you can just go to Beidi."

"But don't reveal this to Han Fei."

"Yes!" Ying Ge responded and left immediately.

But some random thoughts couldn't help but arise in her mind - why should she hide it from Han Fei?

Over the years, the owner of Quicksand has been said to be Gu Xun, but it has always been Han Fei who is actually in charge.

Now he suddenly had to do something without telling Han Fei...it seemed like it was a matter of contacting others, so it was hard not to think too much about it.

Gu Xun knew it would make people think too much, but there was really no need to let extra people know about this matter, so... let it go.

………………

At the same time, outside Songhai City, the Mohist stronghold was established.

Tianming and others were also on the night owl.

But unlike Gu Xun, they not only have to stay up late, but also stay up all night.

"Brother, I am interested in you." In the room, Tao Zhi patted Tian Ming on the shoulder with a playful smile and said good things to himself.

"Ah, right, right." Tianming nodded repeatedly, both perfunctory and sincere.

After Pirate Zhi confirmed that the three of them were determined to risk boarding the ship first, he immediately took the three of them back to their base.

On the way, Tao Zhi told them about the book-burning order that had begun. The surprise and annoyance caused by it are not detailed. The key is time.

The Mo family has already begun to take action, and their manpower will be sent out soon.

The actions of Tianming and the others do not require additional manpower support from the Mohist family, but there is one thing that the Mohist family must provide - the mechanism Suzaku.

It is basically impossible to quietly bring an incapacitated person to the mirage - at least for the rebels who are enemies of the empire.

You can't swim with a person, and even if you can barely swim across it, you can't climb a mirage with a person.

Even Robber Zhi can't do anything about this.

After all, Qinggong is not flying, and even the most brilliant Qinggong is not flying.

With one more person on the body who is completely unable to cooperate with the force exerted, and the weight doubled out of thin air, even the top light kung fu master like Thieves Zhi Baifeng will be severely hindered.

It might be possible to drive on an ordinary day's journey, but difficult operations like climbing a mirage won't work.

In addition to waterways, the opportunities Tianming and the others had used to transport supplies were also not applicable.

Because there was a large amount of supplies coming in and out, it would be easy to take the opportunity to sneak Yu Ziqi in as a dead object, but he would definitely fail the inspection.

Although the inspection of people is very perfunctory and casual, the inspection of materials is very strict.

The strength of the Yin Yang family is not limited, and it is difficult to cause any trouble with just a few people, but if there is a problem with supplies... then it is no joke.

Just give you some poison, and even if it doesn't kill the big shot, it can at least kill a lot of ordinary boys and girls.

Boys and girls can die, but not too many... Considering that Ying Zheng is already in Songhai, not even a small amount can die.

This matter cannot be confused.

In fact, after Ying Zheng showed up, some anti-Qin forces began to create mirages and tried to cause sabotage through this channel.

This further stimulated the people in the empire to step up inspections.

Therefore, the only way is to go to the sky and use the power of the Suzaku mechanism to send people up.

Although there are still a lot of troubles after going up, but... at least the most difficult first step can be taken, which is better than being blocked under the boat.

And what Thieves Zhi said as "meaningful enough" was exactly what he said about trapping Suzaku.

In order to deal with the Book Burning Order, Master Ban has activated all the existing mechanisms of the Mohist Suzaku.

If they come back late in the morning, even if Master Ban is willing to provide them with support, the red bird will fly over.

Fortunately, Thief Zhi led the three of them back as quickly as possible and was able to intercept one in time for them to use.

However, because the book-burning order was of great importance, Master Ban did not give them much time, at most until tomorrow.

Therefore, after several people put it together, we simply decided to do it tonight.

This time, Suzaku had to fly over the mirage at low altitude, otherwise it would be difficult to take Yu Ziqi to jump with him.

If the target is too obvious during the day, it will definitely be entangled by the public loser's trap, which will not only expose their actions, but also increase the risk of the trap.

This matter must be done in the dark.

"Then let's take action now?" After dealing with Thieves Zhi's request for credit, Tianming looked at everyone and confirmed.

There is no plan for tonight's operation. There are only three steps in total - take Yu Ziqi on board, then send him to the Fuso Sacred Tree, and finally bring him back.

Just like locking an elephant in the refrigerator, every link is clear and simple, but it is a little bit difficult to implement in practice.

Daozhi shook his head and said with a very positive attitude, "Let's go then. We have to go to Miss Rong's place first, so don't waste time."

Shaoyu Shilan has no objection.

A group of four people, plus a Suzaku pilot, a total of five people, took off quietly in the night. Tianming insisted on driving it himself, but unfortunately everyone objected, so he had to leave the matter alone.

………………

Late at night, the bright moon hangs high.

Under the bright white moonlight, the mirage lies quietly on the sea, looking both dreamy and terrifying.

In the sky, sporadic mechanical bat wings were flying alternately, inspecting the surrounding situation.

The mechanism white tiger and the mechanism red bird are two types of mechanism beasts commonly used by the Mohists to the outside world. Of the two, the Mohist is undoubtedly more proud of the mechanism beast.

This is because there are also losers with mechanical beasts used in combat, and their power is no worse than that of the white tiger, and even more destructive.

But there are no flying units like Suzaku. All they have is the mechanical bat wing, which can only be used by one or two people, and it is not flying, but gliding.

Although the time in the sky is much longer than normal gliding, it is not real flying after all.

For modern technology, sending metal to the sky is more reliable than sending wood to the sky, but for these two pre-Qin black technologies, sending wood to the sky is obviously much easier than sending metal to the sky.

Because of the defeat in the Lingnan War, the emperor ordered to expedite the opening of the Ling Canal, so a large number of people from the Gongshu family were mobilized to go there. Even Gongshu Qiu himself had to rush there after the last bit of repair work on the mirage was completed.

The Gongshu family's manpower on the Mirage side is not enough, and the bat wings of the agency have to change shifts, so there are only a few people flying sporadically in the sky.

This is because when the emperor comes, he has to show off, otherwise there won't even be these people.

Due to the huge scale of the mirage, just a few patrols cannot take care of all aspects.

However, due to the condescending position and the reflection of moonlight on the sea surface, the field of vision is still clear. It is not an easy task to avoid these traps and approach the mirage.

Higher in the sky, the mechanical Suzaku was spinning in circles around the mirage.

"How about it? Can you get by quietly?" Above Suzaku, Thief Zhi was asking Suzaku's pilot if there was any chance.

After this guy turned around in the sky for more than ten times, he finally nodded and said, "I'll give it a try and sneak over from below."

"Maybe it's a little lower than the deck. Is it okay for you, Commander Thief Zhi?"

When Thief Zhi heard this, he smacked his lips and replied, "Just don't go too low..."

He really couldn't jump with Yu Ziqi. If the height difference was a little bigger, it would be very difficult for him.
To be continued...
