Heavenly Dao Formula

Huiyang City, inside the State Shepherd's Mansion.

"My lord, according to the report from the spies, there is also a Jinxia City outpost on the official road from Ganzhou to Shenzhou. Our transport team disguised as a trading company was seized halfway!"

"Lord Fei, the delivery time of White River City information has been overdue for two days, do you want to reschedule?"

"The information from Anshen City has not arrived today."

"There are reports from secret agents lurking in the county that Jinxia City seems to be providing food to those towns that are short of food. But... the relief food is all seafood? My lord, I will send someone to review the accuracy of the news."

Fei Nian rubbed her forehead with some headaches, what's going on in Shenzhou? Not to mention what great things the secret agents of the Ministry of Recording have done, even the basic function of collecting intelligence is somewhat unsustainable. Is the guy Dong Zong recruited really a professional spy?

Of course, the situation was not so difficult at the beginning.

In the first two weeks, the intelligence collection work was carried out very smoothly, and the food shortage plan was also carried out in an orderly manner. It was foreseeable that in a month or two, a large-scale famine would break out in Shenzhou. If Jinxia didn't have enough food, it would undoubtedly be the best result. The Privy Council didn't even need to send troops, just relying on the hundreds of thousands of mouths could collapse the princess's territory.

It doesn't matter if there is food in stock. If Anshen, Baihe, and several other major counties could not be kept, Jinxia's efforts in winter would be in vain. If the Privy Council enters with Liuzhou stored grain at this time, it will be the savior. In addition, whether or not the hungry people are accepted is also a challenge to Jinxia City. The princess just announced that everyone is treated equally at the New Year celebration, and now she is turning away a large number of hungry people. This is definitely a major blow to her prestige.

However, the smooth operation at the beginning seemed to have suddenly reached an inflection point. Jinxia's army began to strictly investigate all roads leading to Shenzhou, and the recovery of intelligence became intermittent.

If the official road is closed, it will make it difficult to transport materials such as silver and other materials. This is understandable for Fei Nian, but it is somewhat unreasonable that the sender has something wrong in this regard.

They did not take the official route, and there were carrier pigeons to assist in the interrogation. At the same time, there were at least two sets of teams at a transfer point, and the possibility of being wiped out was extremely low.

If it has something to do with the three princesses' coping strategies, that would be too incredible. How much control can a new regime have over the territory? What's more, apart from Jinxia, ​​other places were just captured in winter.

"Master Fei, the information about Baihe City is here!" At this moment, a subordinate quickly walked into the lobby, "There are two copies in total!"

"From White River City?" He lifted his spirits, and quickly beckoned to the other party to bring it over. Originally, the information had to be screened by the recording department first, but now there are only two copies, and he can easily read it by himself.

After unpacking the oiled paper, a bloody smell came out.

Fei Nian frowned, only to see that there were a few dark red blood stains on the two letters, it was obvious that someone had put their lives to send it to Liuzhou.

"My lord, this is..." The subordinate hesitated to speak.

"Which spy was attacked while placing the secret letter?"

In order to avoid exposing the relationship between offline and offline, this kind of large-scale information that cannot be delivered by pigeons is usually hidden in the agreed collection place, and the senders do not meet each other and do not know who the other party is.

The message was delivered after a delay of two days, and the blood on the letter may have explained the problem.

But now is not the time to worry about those spies, Fei Nian opened two bags of envelopes one after another, and poured out the contents.

One of them was sent by Pelican.

Fei Nian had some impression of this person, he was not the kind of person who walked alone, he had his own team outside, so the food burning plan of Baihe City was also entrusted to him to execute.

Fei Nian was startled when she saw the first line of words.

"I'm sure that Jinxia City has some kind of extremely convenient means of communication, which can send news across thousands of miles in an instant. Everything that happens in Baihe City can be known to the other party immediately. I hope the headquarters will be more vigilant! It is this negligence that has caused A has suffered heavy losses, if possible, please inform the spies who have sneaked into other towns as soon as possible.”

There really is such a method?

In an instant, many doubts lingering in his heart had answers.

For example, during the prison robbery in Shangyuan City, who was informing Xia Fan of the transfer of the Privy Council Guards.

For example, how did the "decisive victory over a thousand miles away" mentioned in the newspaper come true.

Being able to assign this communication method to the affairs sub-bureau of Baihe City shows that it is by no means a rare thing, and the conditions for its use are probably quite simple.

Although I don't know the specific method, the confirmation of this information alone is worth a thousand dollars!

The next piece of news is related to the demon——

"I also discovered that the wild cats in the city have become the enemy's eyeliner. I'm afraid it has nothing to do with the monster. I guess that the monsters colluding with Jinxia City are far more than two-headed dragons. When fighting Jinxia, ​​the general government must consider other than alchemists. Other powers, so as not to be plotted by evil spirits."

"In addition, I don't know if Jinxia claims to be able to supply grain for the entire Shenzhou territory. However, it is a fact that the price of food in Baihe City has stagnated, so I decided to attack the grain store in advance—the outcome of this battle is unpredictable. Unexpectedly, I hope that the Privy Council will take good care of my descendants as promised.”

In addition, the letter also recorded some scattered information.

For example, Jinxia mobilized the army to block the main official roads in the state, the food relief team stated that they would not give up every citizen of Baisha City, etc...

From here, Fei Nian felt the huge gap in the speed of information acquisition between the two sides.

After several batches of silver they sent were seized, they got the news of Jinxia's army's actions from the spies. Even before the general government has decided on a countermeasure, the three princesses have already started a public opinion offensive, trying to confuse the hearts of the people.

Another letter was much simpler.

There are only two paragraphs - the secret code of Baihe City has been cracked, and the hidden spies have suffered heavy losses.

The information transfer point was also confessed by the captives. They will find a way to send the rest of the information and persist until the last moment.

Fei Nian thumped the table violently.

Really the worst guess came true.

This letter also means that unless the Privy Council sends new staff, there will be no more information from Baihe City.

He refolded the first letter and pushed it in front of his subordinates, "Arrange a messenger to deliver this secret letter to His Highness the Second Prince without delay."

"Just for a letter?" The latter was stunned, "My lord, do you want to wait until tomorrow..."

"Didn't you hear what I said?" Fei Nian said coldly, "What I want is to travel day and night and deliver it alone!"

"Yes, I'll do it now!"

Not long after this person left, another official from the registration department came in, "My lord, the spies from Jinxia City have sent a new issue of the Shenjin Weekly Report."

"Put it on the table."

He didn't open the newspaper until the other party resigned. It's ridiculous to say that the most reliable information channel now is actually the public documents that come out every seven days.

But Fei Nian soon lost even this self-deprecating mood.

The title of this issue of the newspaper is "Commemorating the Heroes of Shenzhou", and there is a row of small characters below: Declare war on the usurper Ning Qianshi and the Gyeonggi Privy Council.
