Qi Ping's tone was solemn:

"According to the intelligence of the yamen, the last information sent back by the secret spies clearly mentioned that when he was following a suspected member of Unold Lin, he found that he had entered the Duke's Mansion.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, we did not go deeper, but temporarily withdrew the information and sent the information to our colleagues responsible for forwarding the message."

“And then, he suddenly disappeared.

From logical judgment, either the thing he followed was discovered, or an accident occurred while continuing to investigate... In other words, his disappearance is likely to be directly related to the investigation of the Wu family."

Several people were focused and Yu Qing spoke:

"So, we should focus on investigating the Wu family?"

Qi Ping nodded: "To be precise, it is mainly to investigate the Duke's Mansion, but the problem is that we cannot target Duke Yue with great fanfare before there is no actual evidence."

This is indeed a trouble. After all, it is the first-class duke of the Empire. The handwritten letter given by the emperor is just a "secret order" and a card used at critical moments.

Moreover, the open targeting of the Duke's Mansion will also increase the difficulty of investigation.

"So? Our secret visit this time?" Hong Jiaojiao asked, "It's like that time in the northwest?"

After the trip to the northwest, the girl Jinyi carefully summarized and studied, feeling that her level of investigation was no longer comparable.

Fluent shook his head: "No."

Hong Jiaojiao: “…”

Pei Shaoqing said in confusion: "Don't you have an undercover investigation? But you didn't say that it is difficult to investigate openly as the other party's identity?"

Qi Ping coughed and explained to his confused eyes:

"There are still insiders hidden in Kyoto, or the suspicion of Bulao Lin. You all know that when I went to the northwest, my identity as an imperial envoy was leaked. This time, if I was right, the members of Bulao Lin in Yuezhou might have received the news...

Oh, don’t think it’s impossible. With my current fame, I suddenly disappeared in Kyoto. I will take you with me to investigate the ships entering and leaving Kyoto, and it’s easy to guess the purpose.

So, pure undercover investigations have no point. Maybe from the moment we set foot on the pier, we have been monitored by many people."

After a pause, he said:

"My idea is this. After entering the city, we will not hide it and will directly find the prefect.

In name, it is to investigate Bu Lao Lin, but don’t mention the affairs of the Duke’s Mansion and then investigate him secretly. In this way, no matter whether the Wu family has any problems, head-on conflict can be avoided."

Yu Qing frowned: "Is this OK?"

If the Duke's Mansion is clean, it's natural.

But if there is really a connection, it will easily cause the other party to be alert.

Qi Ping had no choice but to spread his hands:

"But there is no way, especially since I am so famous now. Although there are not many people who have seen me here, the portrait may have been passed over long ago and it is difficult to visit the secretly."

Everyone nodded, feeling that this was the only way.

...

After the meal, everyone left, Qi Ping pulled Yu Qing into a cabin alone, and blocked the inside and outside with the "seal" character again.

He immediately said seriously: "Boss, I want to ask you something."

Yu Qing was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the matter?"

Qi Ping's expression was serious: "I'm going to leave the team and investigate alone."

Yu Qing looked at him deeply and suddenly understood something:

"So, this is your real plan? You want to throw us in the open and attract the enemy's attention? Similar to the time in the Northwest? But this doesn't work. With your current reputation, you will definitely be under the focus. If you suddenly disappear, you will inevitably be noticed."

He felt that it was not possible. A similar method was established in the northwest because he was still very famous at that time.

Qi Ping smiled and said, "I know."

"and you……"

Qi Ping no longer kept him indifferent, and suddenly reached out to take something out of his arms. He turned out to be a paper man the size of a palm.

I saw him infusing his true energy and chanting the mantra silently at the same time.

Immediately, with a "bang", the paper man rose in the wind, and in a blink of an eye, it became another "fluid", just like him from top to bottom.

Qi Ping took out another mask and gently covered her face, which suddenly turned into another strange face.

"This..." Yu Qing was stunned.

Immediately, my eyes lit up: "So, do you want to use this paper man to replace your true body? Be with us? Are you leaving in disguise as another face?"

"That's right," Qi Ping snapped his fingers and said with a smile:

"It's still the light and darkness are in parallel, but the Northwest once leaked the investigation methods in advance so that the enemy can arrange them in a targeted manner. This time, I didn't tell anyone that even the Chief of the Ministry didn't know how I would investigate.

Oh, even this plan was selected by me last night by throwing copper plates from several alternative plans. It is impossible for the enemy to make arrangements in advance."

This is one of his plans.

For this reason, before leaving Kyoto, he found Dongfang Liuyun and asked for a special paper man.

In fact, if it weren't for the flaws of paper people, he wouldn't even want to say that Yu Qing, after all, the fewer people know, the lower the risk of exposure.

"When I'm not here, I need you to help cover it up." Qi Ping said.

Yu Qing did not hesitate: "Okay."

The two agreed.

...

After seeing off Yu Qing, Qi Ping put away the paper man and did not go to the deck. Instead, he lay in the cabin to accumulate energy and ponder the details.

Although he made arrangements, he would not underestimate his opponent, nor would he expect that this move "stealing the sky and changing the sun" could support too much time.

"The situation in Yuezhou is complicated and no plan can keep up with the changes, so I can't completely rely on the other party and will not discover it, but it is good to fight for one more day..."

"Huh, I have been treating the Duke's Mansion as an imaginary enemy. If the other party has no problem, then my current arrangement is to fight wits and courage with the air..."

Qi Ping thought to himself mockingly.

During the bumpy period, the boat arrived at Yuezhoucheng Wharf before it arrived in the evening.

And at this moment, an "accident" outside the plan happened...
