I made the villain right.

Chapter 214 The mysterious man in black

Shrouded in the night, Changliu Villa exudes a hint of mystery in its tranquility.

At this moment, a dark shadow quietly flashed in the corner of the courtyard.

He was a masked man in black, his entire body covered in a black cloak, with only a pair of eyes flashing with sharp light revealed.

Her figure was slender and agile. She looked around vigilantly and came to a hidden corner.

The woman in black stood there quietly, as if blending into the night.

She took out an exquisite bow and a special arrow from behind her back, and slowly held the arrow in her hand.

The arrow shaft was smooth and straight, and the arrow head flashed with a cold light.

Then, she carefully took out a small paper roll from her bosom, and then carefully wrapped the secret letter around the arrow shaft, making each circle tight and even to prevent it from falling.

At this time, Xu Zhijing in the courtyard was leading several guards and patrolling the courtyard meticulously.

They looked serious and vigilantly watched every move around them.

Hearing the sudden noise, Xu Zhijing immediately realized that something was wrong, and his eyes instantly looked sharply in the direction where the sound came from.

When he saw an arrow deeply stuck in the pillar, his face changed and he shouted loudly: "Who is it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately led the guards to chase in the direction of the arrow shooting.

The woman in black used her agility and the surrounding environment to constantly evade the guards' pursuit.

The villa was heavily guarded and the guards were searching everywhere.

However, she always finds opportunities to escape with her keen insight and quick reaction.

Finally, the woman in black seized the opportunity and disappeared into the night like a ghost.

Although the guards searched everywhere, they could not find any trace of the woman in black.

Xu Zhijing's eyes immediately fell on the secret letter on the arrow shaft, and his expression changed slightly.

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes. He immediately pulled out the arrow and carefully opened the secret letter to read it.

When he saw the contents of the secret letter, his brows furrowed and realizing the seriousness of the matter, he immediately presented it to King Jing'an.

At this time, King Jing'an had not yet fallen asleep and was sitting in the study.

Xu Zhijing came to the door of the study, stood respectfully, and then knocked gently.

The knock on the door sounded particularly clear in the silent night, as if it was telling about something urgent.

"Come in." King Jing'an's voice was steady and powerful.

Xu Zhijing pushed the door open and walked in, handing the secret letter to King Jing'an.

"Foster father, someone just shot an arrow in the courtyard, and this is the secret letter on the arrow."

There was a hint of nervousness and worry between Xu Zhijing's brows. "The secret letter said that there is a spy in the Silver Armor Army."

When Prince Jing'an heard this, a sharp light flashed in his deep eyes.

He immediately reached out and took the secret letter. After opening it, he saw that it was clearly written: There is a spy in the Silver Armor Army, Zhang Zhiwen, a subordinate of Xu Zicheng.

Seeing this name, King Jing'an frowned and fell into deep thought.

King Jing'an knew very well that without solid evidence, most people would never dare to make such a clear accusation.

"Do you know who sent the secret letter?"

Xu Zhijing shook his head slightly, his expression full of confusion, "The man was masked so we couldn't see his face clearly, and he was very agile and had great martial arts skills, so we couldn't find him at all."

There was a hint of helplessness and frustration in Xu Zhijing's words.

After hearing Xu Zhijing's answer, King Jing'an frowned even more.

The appearance of this mysterious man made things more complicated and difficult.

He didn't know what this person's purpose was, but judging from the current situation, he couldn't help but believe it.

That means that their carefully planned plan has been leaked, and the enemy is likely to be aware of their every move and is ready to deal them a fatal blow at any time.

Thinking of this, King Jing'an knew that he had to act decisively and change his original plan.

He could no longer act according to the established strategy, otherwise he would be in a very passive position.

King Jing'an looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Things have changed, and the plan should be changed. Tomorrow we will invite King Shengqing and His Highness the Fourth Prince to discuss in Yunshui to decide on a new strategy."

"Yes"

The next day.

After circling in the sky for several times, Cang Qi finally arrived at Xu Wusheng's mansion and landed on a bridge in the mansion.

Several maids and servants passing by were all surprised when they saw the goshawk coming.

"Why is there suddenly an eagle here?" a maid said softly, staring at Cang Qi with curiosity in her eyes.

Cangqi has sharp claws, full wings, and a pair of sharp eyes like two dazzling gems, emitting a cold light.

The two maids next to them showed the same puzzled look on their faces.

The servant's reaction was different from that of the maid.

They watched Cangqi warily, holding sticks and other weapons tightly in their hands, fearing that it would do something dangerous.

A tall servant frowned and said, "This eagle came in an unpredictable way. Let's drive it away. It would be bad if it offended His Highness."

"That's right," the other servants echoed, feeling uneasy.

The three of them gathered together tightly, with their weapons raised high, as if ready to deal with Cangqi's attack at any time.

Cang Qi sensed their hostility, raised his head slightly, and stared at them with his sharp eyes.

Then it spread its wings and flew away immediately, leaving the three men empty-handed.

He could only change direction again and prepare for the next round of capture, still holding the weapon tightly in his hand, not daring to relax at all.

Xu Wusheng heard that Xu Zhijing had arrived and was about to go to the main hall to receive him. Then he saw several servants chasing Cang Ying, creating a tense and lively atmosphere.

Xu Wusheng frowned slightly and asked seriously, "Where did the eagle come from in the mansion?"

When several maids and servants saw Xu Wusheng, they all stopped what they were doing.

The maids quickly bowed their heads and slightly knelt in greeting.

The servants standing by all had nervous looks on their faces, as if they were children who had made a mistake.

One of the servants replied timidly, "Your Highness, I don't know where this eagle came from. It suddenly landed in the mansion. I was afraid it would hurt Your Highness, so I was about to chase it away."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wusheng shifted his gaze to Cangqi with a trace of scrutiny in his eyes. Suddenly, he discovered that there was a small bamboo tube tied to its feet, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"It has something on its feet."

At this time, Cangqi's eyes were also fixed on Xu Wusheng, and its head was slightly tilted, as if recognizing the person in front of it.

Suddenly it flew quickly in front of Xu Wusheng, and everyone's faces tightened when they saw it.

Xu looked at it silently and vigilantly, his body slightly tense and his eyes full of alertness.

After a moment, seeing that it had no ill intentions, his tense expression relaxed a little.

He slowly reached out his hand and carefully took the small bamboo tube from Cangqi's feet.

He opened the small bamboo tube and found a secret letter inside. His mouth curled up after seeing the contents.

It was Fanhua's reply to him, promising to help them.

Seeing that his mission had been accomplished, Cang Qi immediately spread his wings and flew high.

After Xu Wusheng came to the main hall and met Xu Zhijing, he told him the good news.

At the same time, he also learned that there was a spy in the Silver Armor Army, and King Jing'an invited him to meet in Yunshuijian to discuss modifying the strategy.

Soon he went to Yunshuijian to keep the appointment.

In the underground secret room of Yunshuijian, King Jing'an and King Shengqing had already been waiting there.

Seeing Xu Wusheng coming, they nodded slightly.

King Jing'an said in a deep voice: "There are spies hidden in the Silver Armor Army now. The situation has become extremely complicated. The previous plan is useless. We must quickly plan other countermeasures."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone began to discuss, one after another, constantly proposing various plans and analyzing their feasibility one by one, just to find the best solution.

Time passed quietly in the heated discussion.

I don’t know how long it took before it finally ended.

Xu Zhijing asked solemnly, "Foster father, do you want to get rid of the spy Zhang Zhi immediately?"

King Jing'an said: "Keep his life for now, in case we alert the enemy during this period."

When Xu Wusheng came out from the clouds and water, the sky outside had already darkened.

He didn't stay outside for long and hurried back home.
