Jiang Zuiyao had no idea what the Imperial City Division did on a daily basis and where Yinfeng Hall was. She only knew that the Imperial City Division worked for the Queen Mother and was an organization that should not be underestimated.

The Queen Mother picked up the scissors again, seemingly indifferent, but her tone was full of solemnity: "The Ai family has passed down the decree, Yao'er, now let Xian'er take you to see Zhang Yunian, he will tell you what to do.

.”

Jiang Zuiyao glanced at Qin Nanxian. Qin Nanxian's face looked a little heavy. He responded, looked up at Jiang Zuiyao, and went out.

Jiang Zuiyao looked at the Queen Mother and followed Qin Nanxian.

After they were far away, Jiang Zuiyao asked curiously: "The Queen Mother sent you and me to the palace just to say this?"

Qin Nanxian said in a deep tone: "The Imperial City Department was established by the Queen Mother. When you first join the Imperial City Department and you are appointed an official, the Queen Mother must have spoken personally."

Qin Nanxian's face had been ugly since he came out of Fengzhu Palace. Jiang Zuiyao didn't know why, but she didn't ask.

After leaving the palace, Qin Nanxian did not rush to take Jiang Zuiyao to the Imperial City Division. Instead, he took her to a restaurant and ordered several hard dishes. Jiang Zuiyao didn't understand even more: "Aren't you going to the Imperial City Division?"

Qin Nanxian replied: "Then you have to fill your stomach before going. Eat well. Once you enter the Imperial City Division, you will have to come out very late. There, no one will give you food if you are hungry.

.”

This made Jiang Zuiyao even more nervous and asked, "Where is that place? What are you worried about?"

Qin Nanxian frowned and said: "I can't explain it in a sentence or two. I'll know when you go there. Anyway, you don't have to worry about your safety. The Queen Mother will not harm you."

After eating, Qin Nanxian took Jiang Zuiyao to the Imperial City Division.

It was a house located in the suburbs. In front of the house there was a long river with no end and high gray walls. You couldn't see what was going on inside. You could only see a few towering buildings. When you walked onto the bridge,

, I could vaguely see that there were many intricate buildings inside, and the chaotic corridors were very complicated. If you didn’t know the way in, you would definitely get lost.

After getting off the bridge and walking towards the gate of the Imperial City Division, Jiang Zuiyao saw two guards with swords standing in front of the door, looking at her warily.

That way, it was better to treat her as an enemy. When she looked back, she saw a number of archers vaguely ambushing in the trees on the other side of the river. Their bows and arrows were pointed straight at her. Such precautions made Jiang Zuiyao feel that this place in the Imperial City Division was

not simple.

Qin Nanxian looked at Jiang Zuiyao looking around and reminded him: "Don't look around. When you first come to the Imperial City Division, they will definitely be wary of you. As long as you behave, they won't do anything to you."

Jiang Zuiyao immediately averted her eyes and followed Qin Nanxian. She knew that she was able to walk here from the other side of the river mostly because of Qin Nanxian. Otherwise, she was afraid that she would be killed by the Imperial City Secretary as soon as she reached the other side of the river.

It seems that strangers are not allowed to approach this place.

When we arrived at the entrance of the Imperial City Division, the guard in front of the door asked: "What are you doing here, Mr. Qin?"

Qin Nanxian said: "In the name of the Queen Mother, take her to Yinfeng Hall."

After saying this, Qin Nanxian lifted the sleeve of his left arm and saw a black tattoo carved on his left forearm. It was a very complicated pattern.

Jiang Zuiyao didn't know what it was. She had known Qin Nanxian for so long and this was the first time she saw him.

The guard saw the tattoo and said to the person on the other side: "Open the door."

The black iron door of the Imperial City Department opened, Qin Nanxian walked in, and Jiang Zuiyao quickly followed.

Walking into the Imperial City, all the buildings are first-class dark gray, which makes people feel depressing even on a sunny day.

The people who occasionally pass by are all wearing dark clothes, with their heads lowered, and walking very fast, as if they are pressed for something urgent, and they don't pay attention to them at all. Moreover, they are all men, and there is no woman coming or going.

This made Jiang Zuiyao, who was wearing a bright pink dress, feel that she was out of place here.

After walking through the intricate corridors, even Jiang Zuiyao didn't know how many turns she took. When she arrived in front of a house, there was a plaque hanging on the door that clearly read: Yinfeng Hall.

Qin Nanxian walked in. The courtyard was empty and quiet, with no one around.

Entering the room in the center, I saw a middle-aged man, wearing dark blue brocade clothes, sitting there with a cold face. He seemed to have been waiting for a long time. When he saw Qin Nanxian, he said: "You can count on me."

Yes, it’s a bit late.”

Qin Nanxian replied: "I was delayed for some time on the road and kept Master Zhang waiting for a long time."

Master Zhang? Is he Zhang Yunian?

Jiang Zuiyao couldn't help but look at him carefully. He was probably in his forties, with deep wrinkles on his face and a pair of gloomy eyes, giving him the impression that he was afraid to get close to him.

Zhang Yunian stood up, looked at Jiang Zuiyao, and asked directly: "Did you bring your token?"

Jiang Zuiyao thought about it. She only had the token that Qin Nanxian gave her. She never left it. She took it out and handed it to Zhang Yunian to look at, and asked, "Is this it?"

Zhang Yunian took it, held it in his hand, examined it, and called out: "Here comes someone."

At this time, a young man came out of the inner room and said, "What are your orders, sir?"

Zhang Yunian handed him the token and ordered: "Check the authenticity of this token."

The man responded, took the token and left.

This couldn't help but make Jiang Zuiyao feel that the Imperial City Secretary was too cautious. Even though everyone was here, she still had to check the token. Wasn't it a bit unnecessary?

Jiang Zuiyao thought so in her heart, but she didn't dare to ask.

After a while, the man ran back and said, "Sir, the token is confirmed to be correct. It is real."

Zhang Yunian nodded: "Follow the rules and destroy it."

Jiang Zuiyao was even more surprised. It was destroyed. That was the token that proved her identity. Why was it destroyed?

Zhang Yunian ignored the confusion on Jiang Zuiyao's face and said directly: "Come in with me."

Jiang Zuiyao looked at Qin Nanxian and saw that Qin Nanxian was following him, so she dared to take a step forward.

After entering the back hall, I saw that there was a tunnel in the house, and a cellar door opened on the ground. Inside the door were steps that stretched to the ground. It was very long, and I didn't know where it was going.

Zhang Yunian walked in directly. Qin Nanxian turned back to Jiang Zuiyao and said, "Don't be afraid. It's safe down there. You walk in the middle and I'm at the end."

Jiang Zuiyaoshun followed Zhang Yunian and walked down. It was a long and deep staircase. Although there were torches to illuminate it, the steps were still unclear, so she could only hold on to the wall and feel her way down.

It wasn't until I finished walking up the steps that I could see the entire layout below clearly.

She thought it was a cellar, but she underestimated it.

The entire underground is huge and complicated, with countless roads leading to unknown directions, and many, many rooms. Each room is locked. If you look to the left, you can't see the end. If you look to the right, you can't see the end.

Can't find the end.
