Feng Xun rubbed his chin. That was quick.
Master Gao said with a smile, “His Majesty wants Your Royal Highness to solve the case as soon as possible and catch everyone on the revival list.”
Feng Wu frowned. “What if I can’t?”
Master Gao said, “His Majesty says that if Your Royal Highness can finish the task within a month, he’ll grant you what you wanted.”
What did he want? Had Jun Linyuan reached some sort of agreement with Emperor Wu before? However, Feng Wu couldn’t ask right now.
She tried to make up an excuse. “I don’t have anyone I can use. Plus, one month is too soon…”
Gao took out an iron token and handed it to Feng Wu. “His Majesty has made you the head of the intelligence department. After we return to the capital city, you’ll be able to give them instructions.”
The intelligence department?
Feng Xun’s eyes lit up.
He kept giving Feng Wu warning glances, hoping that she would say yes.
Feng Wu didn’t have much idea about that department, so she looked at Jun Linyuan.
He had to make the call.
Jun Linyuan gave her a little nod.
Feng Wu took the token and nodded at Gao. “Alright, I’ll do it, but I can’t guarantee that I can do it in a month.”
Gao said with a smile, “I’m sure Your Royal Highness won’t disappoint His Majesty.”
After Gao left, Feng Xun grabbed the token and played with it.
Feng Wu glanced at him. “Why are you so excited over such a little thing? You’re a young lord, for god’s sake.”
Feng Xun gloated. “You don’t understand, do you?”
Feng Wu raised her eyebrows. “What?”
Feng Xun asked, “Do you know what the intelligence department is?”
Feng Wu thought about it and said, “It’s a department of the Ministry of War, isn’t it?”
Feng Xun shook his head. “Nope. That’s military intelligence. Their head is the minister of the Ministry of War.”
Feng Wu asked, “What about the intelligence department?”
Feng Xun said proudly, “It’s a different thing. It’s above military intelligence and answers only to the emperor. That is to say, it only follows the emperor’s orders!
“Military intelligence is only one division. If the intelligence department wants, they can use any information or personnel of military intelligence.
“Military intelligence mainly collects information about the armies of other countries.
“However, the intelligence department also has secret agents who are in charge of catching spies and sabotaging the intelligence work of other forces.
“Also…” Feng Xun glanced at Feng Wu. “The department keeps an eye on government officials to prevent corruption. Boss Jun, that question was too easy for me.”
Feng Wu almost forgot that she was Jun Linyuan now. Jun Linyuan would never ask such an easy question.
She cleared her throat. “That was the correct answer.”
Feng Xun grinned. He then frowned and asked, “Boss Jun, now that the spies are all dead, we don’t have any leads. What should we do?”
