The overseer Yang Wudao was the son of Yang Lanshan, the prime minister of the imperial court. When Qin Tianxiong sent troops to the northern border, His Majesty ordered the overseer to go to the northern border to supervise the war and pacify the chaos there.

Zhong Ao Shuang's words caused Qin Feng to involuntarily widen his eyes. He lowered his head and stared at Zhong Ao Shuang: "What do you mean?"

"General, I dare not speak lies. All of this is under the orders of the lord overseer."

"You dare to spout nonsense and frame the military overseer?"

Yang Wudao was currently in the Sword Tower. Because he was worried that the Jade Gate Pass was too close to the Western Territory and that the Northern Frontier was in danger, he chose to stay in the Sword Pavilion and control the Jade Gate Pass and the Xiao Shan Pass remotely.

In fact, he also understood that the military overseer this time was only here to make money. No matter what the result would be, after he returned to the imperial court, he would have military merits that would make it easy for him to rise to a higher position.

Before his departure, the Emperor had also warmly conveyed this message. After all, although he was the son of the Prime Minister, he himself didn't have any contributions.

"Zhong Ao Shuang, by whom did you say that?"

Zhong Ao Shuang slowly stood up, stood up, and Qin Feng's eyes narrowed again.

He had yet to let Zhong Ao Shuang stand up. Zhong Ao Shuang's actions were without a doubt a great disrespect. Besides, right now, Zhong Ao Shuang was a guilty person who bore a huge responsibility.

Zhong Ao Shuang took out a few secret letters from her chest pocket and presented them in front of Qin Feng, "Great General, these are the secret letters sent by the Overseer and Great Moon Branch, as well as this lowly one. Please enlighten me, Great General."

He stared at Zhong Ao Shuang with a pair of gloomy eyes. Regarding Zhong Ao Shuang's words, he did not know if they were true or false. Whether they were true or not, he had to do it in secret as soon as possible so that he could act conveniently.

"Even so, as an official of a great family, you have the grace of the heavens. What should be your punishment for doing this?"

"Great General, this lowly one knows that the great general does not believe this matter. I am willing to introduce the great general to Prince Xian of the Left, and would like to invite the great general to confront me personally."

"What reason is there for Yang Wudao to have an affair with the Great Moon Branch of the Western Regions?"

"King of Cracks, a position of nine or five, it is enough to make one go insane."

Qin Feng looked at Zhong Ao Shuang coldly: "Then why are you doing this?"

"This lowly subordinate only wishes to seek revenge for the princess. I do not dare to betray the emperor or Grand Kang. I only wish to add fuel to the fire and facilitate this matter."

Qin Feng contemplated for a moment before replying, "From today onwards, you will remain at the Jade Gate Pass and remain in my residence. You are not allowed to enter or leave."

"The Great General cannot keep this lowly position, there are many things this lowly position needs to do."

"Are you talking to this marshal?"

Great General, please forgive me, but this lowly one cannot stay here. Great General need not be angry, regarding the matter of Xiao Shan and the Sword Pavilion, as well as Prince Xian of the Left and the Da Wei family's arrival at the northern border, this lowly one will not be able to stay at the Jade Gate Pass and listen to Great General's teachings.

"What reason do you have for this marshal to let you go?"

Zhong Ao Shuang leaned close to Qin Feng and whispered into his ear.

Astonishment and disbelief appeared on Qin Feng's grave face. Zhong Ao Shuang had no choice but to take out a bamboo tube from her bosom. Within the sealed bamboo tube, a yellow ribbon appeared.

Qin Feng abruptly stood up, lifted his robes and knelt on the ground, "This subject, Qin Feng, respectfully welcomes the imperial edict."

It was a secret decree, a secret decree of the Emperor. How could he not recognize it?

Zhong Ao Shuang stood up straight: "Duke of Zhenbei, the Grand Cavalry general has received the emperor's secret decree."

He passed the decree in his hand to Qin Feng, "Great General, when the time is right, this decree shall be passed on to the great general. Today is the same."

Qin Feng kowtowed, opened it with both hands and read it for a while before standing up.

"Marquis Anping, I do not know that Marquis Anping possesses the secret decree of the emperor, please do not take offense to many offenses."

Zhong Ao Shuang smiled, "This lowly subordinate will only pass the secret decree to the great general in the place of the emperor. This lowly subordinate will still have to obey the great general's orders, but this lowly subordinate still has other important matters to attend to and cannot stay at the Jade Gate Pass."

"Since this is the case, I would like to request that Marquis An Ping arrange a meeting with Prince Xian of the Left. In addition, there are arrangements as well. The Marquis of An Ping should inform this Commander of this meeting as soon as possible."

Qin Feng was still full of doubts. Although Zhong Ao Shuang had a secret decree, he still couldn't let go of the matters regarding Xiao Shan and the Sword Pavilion.

"General, I will arrange this as soon as possible."

Qin Feng wanted to ask something else, but he didn't say anything in the end. The matter of Zhong Ao Shuang's words and the secret decree had shocked him too much. After a few days, there would be results.

"Go."

Qin Feng waved his hand as he fell into deep thought.

Zhong Ao Shuang bowed and took his leave, walking out of the marshal's mansion, he couldn't help but sigh.

He had to hurry to welcome Prince Xian of the Left, who was at his side. Prince Xian of the Left was in the northern border, but in fact, he was already near the gate of the Jade Gate.

"This subject pays his respect to Your Highness."

Within the carriage, Zhong Ao Shuang knelt down to pay his respects.

"Take a seat, no need to stand on ceremony."

"Thank you, Prince."

"You have handled the matter of the northern border very well. Xiao Shan has done a great service."

"This is a scheme of the prince, this subject does not dare to claim credit for it. Reporting to the king, Qin Tianxiong wishes to pay his respects to the king."

"I'll make a trip to Xiao Shan first. You can take care of Qin Tianxiong's matters later."

"Yes, Qin Feng also wishes to meet with you."

"Qin Feng …"

Tuoba Fei pondered for a moment. "He wants to see Ben Wang. What's the matter?"

"It should be related to Solitary Peak's matter. Qin Feng might want to form an alliance with His Highness, but not Solitary Peak."

"How did Da Kang react to Xiao Shan's matter?"

"There's no reaction. The few times they sent troops to rescue the Sword Tower, they were all repelled by King Lou Lan. These days, King Lou Lan did not attack the Sword Tower, and the northern duke did not send any troops to save them."

"What does the emperor mean by that?" "What does the Northern Marquis mean?"

Tuoba Fei sank into deep thought while Zhong Ao Shuang silently sat below him, not disturbing him at all.

"After you go to Xiao Shan, arrange a meeting with the northern town's marquis."

"Yes, where are we supposed to place them?"

"We'll see."

"Reporting to Your Highness, the Duke of Zhenbei wants to meet the Great Qin."

"You can arrange for the Northern Marquis to meet with the Da Qin family first."

"What the Zhenbei Marquis means is that he wants to meet with the Prince first and then meet with the Da Qin family."

"Let him go and meet with the Da Qin family first. These matters should be arranged properly. Don't disturb him."

"Yes, your subject obeys."

"You can leave now. Arrange a meeting for Qin Feng with the Da Jin family. For the time being, do not return to Xiao Shan and wait on the Da Qin family."

"Yes, this official will take his leave."

Zhong Ao Shuang alighted from the carriage and watched Tuoba Fei and the rest leave. She couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation; he could see her again.

At the mountain pass, Sandstorm had personally led his trusted aides and elites. Accompanied by the commanders and elites of the two large moon branch, he left Xiao Mountain and went to welcome Tuoba Fei.
