Xie Xi sent two secret guards to investigate the underground passage, and Xie Shiqi followed them and was responsible for leading the way.

After about an incense stick of time, the two secret guards sent down later, as well as Seventeen and Eighteen, also came up.

Eighteen stepped forward and bowed his head to report: "Master, after my investigation, I found that another branch of the underground secret passage leads to Swallow Cloth Shop. I deliberately hid in Swallow Cloth Shop for a while and found that Swallow Cloth Shop is actually a secret stake set up by the Princess of Yan in Shengjing City!"

Speaking of which, Eighteen was lucky. After coming out of the secret passage, he heard some noise around him, saying that the master was coming.

Eighteen guessed instantly that there must be something fishy about this place, so he hid in the dark, waiting for the "master" that everyone was talking about to show up.

As a result, Eighteen saw with his own eyes that many shop assistants in Yan Zi Cloth Shop called the Princess of Yan "the Master".

Eighteen never thought that it would be such a coincidence that he accidentally discovered the secret agent of the Princess of Yan.

After discovering this secret, Eighteen did not stay in Yanzi Cloth Shop, but entered the underground secret passage again and walked back along the way he came.

Eighteen bowed and glanced at the expression on his master's face. He continued, "If I remember correctly, Swallow Cloth Shop has been open in Shengjing City for more than ten years. In other words, over the years, the Princess of Yan State may have been collecting information about Shengjing City through Swallow Cloth Shop..."

Xie Xi's eyes darkened and his brows were furrowed.

Before this, Xie Xi really couldn't find out that the Princess of Yan had planted secret agents in Shengjing City.

He just found out about this today, and for him, it means that his current abilities are not enough to shoulder the responsibility of that position.

The Princess of Yan is truly far-sighted. The secret plan laid out more than ten years ago was only put into action at this time. The Princess of Yan is indeed patient.

Xie Xi shook his head: "Even if Yanzi Cloth Shop is really hiding in the dark and delivering news to Yan State, there is nothing to be afraid of. Anyway, the confidential matters in the palace will not be leaked out of the palace."

"I guess the news that Yanzi Cloth Shop has passed on over the years must have been just some minor things."

Xie Xi was open-minded. He could ignore the previous events of Yanzi Cloth Shop, but now that they all knew that Yanzi Cloth Shop was the secret agent of the Princess of Yan State, then from now on, Yanzi Cloth Shop no longer had to stay in Shengjing City!

"Eighteen, at night, you and Seventeen will throw the eight bodies and the people in Yanzi Cloth Shop to the place where the Princess of Yan State lives now—"

"In a house on the west side of the city. Oh, we need to make a big noise, or else I, the Crown Prince of Li, will be treated as a soft persimmon by the Princess of Yan."

Sending all the bodies back was just a warning. If those people dared to cause trouble again, Xie Xi would warn Seventeen and Eighteen: "This matter is a bit risky. You two must remember to be careful and cautious."

"If anyone insists on coming forward to cause trouble, just fight back!"

Seventeen and Eighteen both nodded, and Seventeen spoke first: "Master, rest assured, I will definitely complete the task you have assigned me!"

"Ah."

Xie Xi nodded.

The other two secret guards were also reporting what they had found in the underground secret passage -

One of the ordinary-looking secret guards said, "Master, one of the forks in the underground secret passage actually leads to General Zuo Qin's mansion..."
