The night was as dark as ink, deep and depressing. The figures in black surged like a tide, so dense that they almost swallowed up the last ray of light between heaven and earth.
Qin Zhinan and Qin Suling stood back to back. Their breathing was a little rapid in the tense atmosphere, but their eyes were shining with unyielding spirit.
All around them were the deep roars of the men in black and the harsh sounds of weapons clashing, testing their will and limits at every moment.
Just at the edge of this abyss of despair, a thunderous sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded from afar, like lightning across the sky, instantly tearing apart the silence of the night.
The sound of horse hooves, with an unstoppable momentum, came closer and closer, until a team of warriors in shining armor suddenly rushed into the battlefield like a god of war and engaged in a fierce battle with the men in black.
They moved with agility and coordinated well, and each of their strikes was precise and deadly, instantly turning the balance of the battle.
Qin Zhinan looked at this scene, feeling indescribable excitement and gratitude in his heart.
He never thought that his secret arrangements could play such a big role at the critical moment.
Those warriors are his trusted generals and his strongest backing. Their arrival is not only a reinforcement of strength, but also a transmission of faith.
With the soldiers joining in, the situation on the battlefield changed rapidly. Faced with this sudden change, the men in black were thrown into disarray, and their previous arrogance instantly dissipated, replaced by panic and fear.
They began to retreat step by step, and Qin Zhinan and Qin Suling took the opportunity to lead the soldiers in pursuit until the men in black were completely defeated, leaving only a mess and the afterimages of the men in black on the battlefield.
"Thank you for your help, General!"
After the battle, Qin Zhinan bowed deeply to the general leading the army, his words full of sincerity and gratitude. The general returned the greeting, his eyes revealing deep respect for Qin Zhinan. He said in a deep voice: "Mr. Qin, you are too kind. Protecting your safety is our duty as a soldier." The conversation between the two was brief and powerful, revealing a tacit understanding and trust that did not require much words.
After this battle, Qin Zhinan and Qin Suling's hearts became more closely connected.
They knew very well that although they had temporarily escaped the entanglement of the men in black, the road ahead was still full of thorns.
The power of the Fourth Prince is like a huge and complicated net. If you want to destroy it completely, you must make even more arduous efforts.
The moon is shining like a thread, the stars are shining brightly, and in a secret manor outside the capital, the lights are on, but there is a sense of tranquility and peace in the air.
Qin Zhinan and Qin Suling quietly entered the place under the protection of a group of loyal guards.
This manor will become their secret base for temporary rest and planning of subsequent actions.
Inside the study, the flickering candlelight illuminated the two people's focused and determined faces.
On the table, secret letters and maps complement each other. Every clue and every mark carries their determination and wisdom to uncover the conspiracy of the Fourth Prince.
Qin Suling's fingers gently slid across the intricate lines, her brows furrowed, her heart filled with worry and anticipation for unknown challenges.
"Brother," she said softly, her voice soft but full of power, "We must find irrefutable evidence that the Fourth Prince is colluding with the treacherous officials in the court. Only in this way can we deal a fatal blow to him in the court."
Qin Zhinan nodded in agreement, his eyes deep and firm: "Indeed. But this road is difficult and dangerous. Military force alone is far from enough. It also requires wisdom and courage. I intend to start with the fourth prince's business empire, where there are often clues of their collusion."
After saying this, he took out a secret letter from his bosom. It was sent by an anonymous businessman in the capital at the risk of his life.
The letter described in detail the abnormal fund flows in several banks under the name of the Fourth Prince. Various signs indicated that huge amounts of funds were being transferred secretly.
Qin Zhinan handed the secret letter to Qin Suling. They looked at each other and smiled, their eyes flashing with infinite longing and firm belief for the future.
At dawn the next day, rumors about the Fourth Prince's illegal activities began to spread in the streets and alleys of the capital.
Although these rumors did not directly mention anyone, they were like sharp blades, silently cutting through the web of lies that the Fourth Prince had carefully woven.
Undercurrents are surging between the court and the public, and a storm against the Fourth Prince and his forces is about to come.
The masterminds behind all this - Qin Zhinan and Qin Suling - are quietly making plans, waiting for the right time to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.
Next Chapter: Under the Undercurrent, a Battle of Wisdom and Courage
At dawn, the sky of the capital was gradually illuminated by a faint golden glow, but beneath this seemingly calm surface, undercurrents were surging and crises were lurking everywhere. Qin Zhinan and Qin Suling stood on the high pavilion of the manor, overlooking this ancient and complex capital, feeling both apprehensive about the upcoming challenges and a firm belief that justice will prevail.
"Su Ling, we must be cautious in every step we take." Qin Zhinan said in a deep voice, his eyes were deep, as if he could penetrate the fog and see directly to the core of power. "Since the Fourth Prince is deeply rooted in the court, he must have means and spies that cannot be underestimated."
Qin Suling nodded, a look of determination flashed in his eyes: "Brother, don't worry, I know what to do. I have arranged people to secretly monitor those officials and merchants who are involved with the Fourth Prince. If there is any sign of trouble, send a message back immediately."
As they were talking, a spy in night clothes hurried into the study, knelt on one knee, and held a small jade slip tightly in his hand: "Reporting to the Lord, there is urgent information."
Qin Zhinan took the jade slip and quickly read its contents. His expression changed slightly. "As expected, the Fourth Prince has begun to take action. He seems to be secretly mobilizing people to purge several families that may have leaked his secrets."
Qin Suling frowned when she heard this: "We must protect these families before he does, and collect more evidence at the same time."
"That's right." Qin Zhinan made a quick decision. "You leave immediately and go to where these families are located. Set up defenses in secret and persuade them to stay out of the spotlight for the time being. I will stay here and continue to analyze the flow of funds and look for direct evidence pointing to the collusion between the Fourth Prince and the treacherous officials in the court."
Qin Suling said nothing, but nodded slightly, then turned around, and disappeared into the morning light in an instant like a swallow. Qin Zhinan stayed in the study, continuing to bury himself in the piles of account books and secret letters. Every number and every line of text could be the key to uncovering the truth.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, several days have passed. Qin Suling sent news that those families had been safely transferred under her arrangement, and she also brought back several important confessions and letters, further confirming the collusion between the Fourth Prince and some high-ranking officials in the court.
At the same time, Qin Zhinan also made a breakthrough in the analysis of capital flows. He found that the Fourth Prince not only secretly transferred huge amounts of money through money houses, but also secretly controlled multiple chambers of commerce, using these chambers of commerce as channels for money laundering and covering up illegal transactions.
"Finally, we have found his lifeline." Qin Zhinan looked at the densely packed charts on the table, his eyes gleaming with victory. "Next, we will make these evidences public and expose the true face of the Fourth Prince in broad daylight."
However, they knew that this struggle was far from over. The Fourth Prince had already noticed and would launch a crazy counterattack, and the changes in the court were even more unpredictable. But Qin Zhinan and Qin Suling were no longer afraid. They knew that as long as there was light in their hearts, justice would eventually illuminate the darkness and bring clarity to this land.
As night falls, the capital is once again shrouded in darkness, but in this deep darkness, a new force is quietly rising, vowing to clean up all the filth. And the starting point of all this is the figure of a brother and sister fighting side by side in that secret manor.
