Feng Wu was elated and was happy to dodge the question.
“But —”
Jun Linyuan gave her a look and said, “You’ll be in charge.”
Feng Wu asked, “What do you mean?”
She had a feeling that something good was going to happen.
Jun Linyuan snorted and said, “The old man is concerned, and he doesn’t have that many capable men around him. In the end, it’ll become your assignment. I need to cultivate and won’t have time for this. You’ll be in charge.”
Feng Wu said, “Are you saying that… All the people on the revival list…”
“Kill them all!” The crown prince’s eyes shone.
Feng Wu was over the moon.
The thing Jun Linyuan wanted her to do was essentially the same as the tenth trial!
Feng Wu had been worrying about how she was going to catch all the lurking ninjas on her own.
However, Jun Linyuan had just given her the perfect opportunity! She was going to be in charge!
“But there are at least 70 people on that list,” said Feng Wu. “Six of them are dead, and we’ve caught one, but there are still 63 left. If they’re all working solo, it’ll be impossible to catch them all.”
Jun Linyuan glanced at her and said, “They all have to report to their superiors.”
Feng Wu said, “Are you saying that… That’s right. All seven teams must have a general leader. If we catch him, we’ll learn where the six teams are.”
Jun Linyuan gave Feng Wu an appreciative look.
Feng Wu rubbed her chin and murmured, “The most important thing now is to catch that leader, but who and where is he?”
She had no idea at all.
If they couldn’t catch the leader, they would have to catch the members one by one.
But there were over 60 of them, and they were likely scattered all over the empire. It would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
Feng Wu told Feng, “Bring me that ninja.”
She was going to interrogate him more carefully.
Feng nodded and left.
He returned in a short while with some bad news. “His Majesty is interrogating the prisoner himself.”
Feng Wu frowned. “Bring him here once His Majesty is done, then.”
Because of what Jun Linyuan said, Gongshu Ji didn’t take the ninja away, but that didn’t mean that Emperor Wu couldn’t interrogate him.
Feng Wu rubbed her nose. It seemed that Emperor Wu was paying a lot of attention to this as well.
While they were waiting, Jun Linyuan gave Feng Wu a thick book.
Feng Wu took it with both hands.
Jun Linyuan sat cross-legged without speaking.
But when Feng Wu saw the title of the book, she glanced at Jun Linyuan and smiled.
It was a book on the Dongsang Kingdom.
To be honest, Feng Wu didn’t know much about the kingdom.
Because the Junwu Empire suffered great losses in the war 13 years ago, almost everything about the culture of the Dongsang Kingdom was eliminated from the books.
Feng Wu hadn’t been able to find any books.
And she didn’t know much about ninjas either.
This book was very helpful.
Jun Linyuan…
