We have all the space treasury in hand, so mere exile is nothing.

In the evening, some team members who were afraid of being late came back early, but when it got completely dark, there were still a group of people who had not returned.

When the others saw this, they could already imagine that their arms would be chopped off or even killed directly, and they all remained silent without even daring to take a breath.

When the last person came back, everyone else had finished eating. Ye Qingran looked at them and said nothing.

They were self-conscious and knelt down as soon as they entered: "I'm sorry, Lord, the capital is too big. We went too far and got lost..."

Hearing this, Ye Qingran couldn't help laughing: "Are you fools? You have also learned Qing Gong. You can stand high and see far. How could you get lost?"

In fact, she believed what they said. There were many houses in the capital, and many small buildings all looked the same. It was normal for them to get lost when they went out for the first time, so she didn't intend to blame them too harshly.

Seeing their trembling looks, she could only cough twice and said, "Okay, get up. Since it's your first day out, I'll spare you."

She stepped aside and said, "I left some food for you. Eat first. After that, I have something to announce."

Hearing what she said, several people felt as if they had been forgiven, and immediately stood up and nodded: "Yes, thank you Lord!"

They had just been scared into a cold sweat. Seeing them like this, Ye Qingran felt that his deterrence was enough. If he was really too harsh, it would inevitably make them rebellious, so he had to find a chance to relax. .

After everyone had eaten and drank enough, she gathered them together, then distributed paper, ink, pens and inkstones to them, and said: "Now each of you must draw the route to the capital. I will not make it difficult for you, as long as Starting from the investigation office, if you can draw most of the routes, you are considered qualified."

She reminded, "Remember to write down the names of the inns and pavilions, and let's get started."

As soon as these words came out, these people looked at each other, not knowing how to write.

Because they really just walked around when they went out, it was really difficult to map out the route at this time.

But since this was an order, they had no choice but to follow it and try their best to restore the route in their minds.

Ye Qingran walked among them, but after looking around, there were not many that he was satisfied with. Only Changsheng's was slightly better, but he only drew a route near the investigation office. Maybe he was worried that he would not be able to get back in time, so he did not go there. Too far away.

After half an hour passed, she clapped her hands and said, "Okay, write your names on your pictures and give them to me."

They handed over the pictures with some hesitation, and then all made expressions of waiting to die. Ye Qingran wanted to laugh, but he still held back.

She looked through them one by one and found that their route drawings were pretty good. Only a few of them were not very clear, but the names of the places were all written correctly. It looked like they had specifically asked the locals.

Although none of the routes were complete, she did a random check this time and did not ask them to prepare in advance. It was good to have such a result.

"not bad."

Seeing her nodding, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, "But you haven't realized that as soon as you leave this door, you should enter the investigation state. When there is no clear mission goal, you should try to collect more information. , this is your main task, you must remember it.”

"Yes, my lord!"

"Okay, that's it for now. I will do spot checks at any time in the future. If you fail to draw a complete route map next time, you will be punished."

In the next few days, she asked the team members to go out to familiarize themselves with the route, and came back on time every day, and then reported back the harvest of the whole day.

Five days later, they were asked to draw a route map again, but this time they were all prepared, so they didn't worry too much, and they all drew a complete route, but... it was a little irregular.

Ye Qingran looked at their pictures helplessly. The pictures were all drawn correctly and the names were marked, but they just didn't look good. Maybe it was because some people didn't know how to read and could only follow the gourd and draw the scoop, so Rather ugly.

She has been urging them to practice martial arts and disguise skills, and now she is training them in the skills of investigating information, but she has neglected this most basic point.

"I'm pretty good at drawing pictures, uh... just... let's learn the words for the next few days, otherwise we'll be finished when we get some information that needs to be read."

Ye Qingran had a headache. Such basic things were the most difficult to teach because there were too many. After thinking about it, she decided to let them learn from each other. She remembered that there were a few words that were pretty good, so it should be no problem.

It's just that if they arrange it this way, it will delay their time to draw pictures again. After all, it still takes some time to read and write well.

After thinking about it, she took the paper and pen and redrawn a complete route map of the capital in front of them, with the imperial palace as the center and radiating outwards.

After finishing the painting, she said: "You should keep this picture firmly in your mind in the past few days. You will definitely use it in the future. After you understand the characters clearly, I will formally assign some tasks to you."

"Yes, my lord."

In the past few days, Ye Qingran has not been idle. He has observed each person's personality and strengths in more detail, and then picked out a man named Xiao Qi. He is only seventeen years old this year, very young and very smart. , learns things quickly, and is the one with the best grades when learning disguise.

Ye Qingran decided to make him the vice-captain. If there were some things that needed to be dealt with, let him go.

She also wrote a special letter for the carrier pigeon to be sent back to the village. The content was to ask Chu Qingyun and Ye Zhuoyu to take good care of the assassin team and train them. At least the hard skills must be in place, including light kung fu.

As assassins, their requirements for martial arts are much higher than those of the investigation team, and their minimum requirement is that they must be able to survive hundreds of moves at Ye Zhuoyu without losing, and their Qinggong must have Chu Qingyun nodding to be considered a passing grade.

As for the investigation team, she can lead it alone.

More than half a month later, the team members had no problem with reading, but the writing was not very standardized. However, Ye Qingran thought about it carefully and realized that this would also be conducive to the transmission of messages. Even if someone saw it, they would not be able to recognize it. Who wrote it? The disadvantage is that it is so unique that you can remember it after reading it once.

It's just that these things can only be discussed in the long term. For the rest, we need to seriously study the investigation methods, recording and delivery methods.

"From today on, we will start to take on some investigation tasks. I have secretly publicized it. It won't be long before someone comes to announce the commission. I will distribute the remuneration according to the work. As for taking over the tasks, Xiao Qi will take the initiative. , others are not allowed to be recognized by others."
