The reborn general girl is the emperor

Chapter 108
The Yan family's secret guards, perhaps they should be called the Anbu—an army that is independent from the Yan family's army in the western border, hidden in the shadows, and belongs exclusively to the Yan family.

The dark guard is just a small branch of the Anbu, mainly responsible for ensuring the safety of Yan's family, as well as dealing with some assassinations, sending letters and other affairs.

The largest in the entire Anbu is its intelligence network that almost covers the entire Wu'an country.

Yan Qing had only heard about these things before taking over the Anbu forces under his father and brother.

When he really got a glimpse of the strength of this force, Yan Qing knew why Yan Qi, the most powerful of the new batch of hidden guards, did not follow his brother.

Although Yan Qi is strong, he has a straightforward temperament and can manage the entire Anbu's subordinates well, but it is difficult to continue to expand the Anbu under the existing scale.

And the one who followed his elder brother was not as strong as Yan Qi, but he more than doubled the intelligence spies under him in just one year.

The essence of Anbu's existence is to have the ability to spy on the affairs of the world.

Therefore, compared with strength, the more important quality of the leader of Anbu is the ability to develop and update the intelligence network.

Yan Qi is slightly weaker on this point.

In fact, when Yan Qing first knew about the existence of Anbu, he always had a question.

The Yan family has been loyal to the royal family for generations, sticking to the western frontier, and has never violated the rules. What is the use of this power to spy on the world?
This question, until now, Yan Qing is not clear.

But also thanks to Anbe, no matter in her previous life or this life, she can often predict the enemy's opportunity.

But it is such a force with a huge intelligence network, but it can't find any clues about the person who cooperates with Wen Zhemao behind the scenes.

This can only show that this person also has an unknown force under his command, whose strength may even be higher than that of the Anbu of the Yan family.

There are not many people with such power, but they are not few either.

At the very least, the Guo, Li, and Xu families, who are also centuries-old families with the Yan family, and the Wen family, which sits high in the imperial court, should have their own forces secretly.

As for how strong the power in their hands is, no one knows the result until they face it head-on.

It was the Li family's rebellion that gave Yan Qing the opportunity to investigate the Li family's forces.

Unexpectedly, after the death of Li Dingshan, the Li family was like a mountain that suddenly collapsed, without any centipedes, and the attitude of death is not rigid.

It feels as if the Li family is just a big family that suddenly became rich without any foundation behind it.So with just a slight touch, the entire Li family was uprooted.

Some people say that one generation of the Li family is not as good as the previous generation, and the middle has been eaten up, leaving only the bright surface.Now the glamor on the surface has been stripped away, revealing the empty belly.

Most of the feedback from Anbu also meant this.

But as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, even if Li's belly is emptied and there is only a bright and beautiful shell left, there should be a shelf to support the shell.

The Li family was uprooted too simply. Apart from the ostensible forces in southern Xinjiang, there was no trace of the Li family anywhere else.

Withdrew the manpower from the capital to the southern border, and then transferred a large number of troops back to the capital under the condition that all the information came from Wen Zhemao, and started a military riot.

This is not like what a careerist who is full of ambition and intends to rebel and become the emperor will do.

Because, this is tantamount to poking yourself in the eyes before the war.

Excluding Li Dingshan's self-poking behavior, and excluding the possibility of the complete corruption of the Li family's foundation, the only thing left is-incorporation, or should I say, annexation.

At the moment when the Li family collapsed, someone swallowed up all the power of the Li family in Beijing.

It takes years of management and calculation to achieve such a traceless.

The capital is dominated by Xu and Wen.

The fact that the Li family was swallowed up in an instant sounded the alarm for Yan Qing.

This is also one of the reasons why Yan Qing decided to withdraw the people from Beijing.

A strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake, and the Yan family is now on the verge of success and failure. Naturally, we must try our best to avoid losses that can be avoided.

Yan Qing nestled in the chair and closed his eyes to rest, but various thoughts kept flashing through his mind.

The situation of Wu Anguo, the future of the Yan family, and the intertwining of various memories of the past and present are all tangled together.

It's like a dream but not a dream, making people unable to fall asleep or wake up.

The more he delved into this life, the more Yan Qing realized that he was trapped in a huge net.

In her previous life, she was a caught fish, manipulated and slaughtered by others, but she was unknown.

She was still struggling in this life, thinking that by bringing down Wen Zhemao, she had already escaped the fate of her previous life, but unexpectedly bumped her head into the net, only to realize that she was still in the net.

In this way, can she understand that all the tragedies in her previous life were nothing more than some small calculations under this big net?

If this big net is not broken, everything will happen again.

The complicated memories are woven into a net, layer upon layer covering the head, covering the sky and the sun, making it impossible to break free or escape.

Despair grew from her limbs, dragging her down into the abyss.

She struggled desperately, but to no avail.

The slippery and viscous desperation like water pulled her, spreading over her chest, neck, mouth, nose a little bit... A strong sense of suffocation caused people to faint.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Knock knock knock!"

A series of hasty knocks on the door suddenly awakened Yan Qing.

Yan Qing, who sat up in shock, panted heavily, and his terrified and dazed eyes touched the sketch still placed on the table, and then regained a bit of clarity.

The suffocation subsided, and Yan Qing felt chills all over his body, only to realize that he was already covered in cold sweat.

She fell asleep unintentionally and was trapped by the nightmare.

"Knock knock knock!"

The knock on the door rang again, this time accompanied by a human voice, "Little General? Little General!"

Yan Qing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, swallowed his saliva to moisten his parched throat, calmed himself down, and said, "Come in!"

The door was pushed open in an instant, and Zeng Chengwen came in from the outside in plain clothes, with the dusk behind him.

Only then did Yan Qing suddenly realize that she slept from noon to dusk.

"What's the matter?"

Yan Qing held his forehead and asked a little tiredly.

"Earlier, you asked your brothers to go to the city to inquire about the price of grain, and they all found out clearly. Now it is always a catty of rice, which is one third more than usual."

Zeng Chengwen replied, seeing that Yan Qing's complexion was not good, he asked with some concern, "Little General, are you feeling unwell? Look at your pale face, like gold paper! I knocked on the door for a long time, and you also Without a response."

Even though he asked this question, Zeng Chengwen had already confirmed that Yan Qing was not feeling well.

I think he has followed Yan Qing for four or five years, and his little general has always been a vigilant person.

If it is normal, she should know when she arrives at the door, not to mention her slamming door today!

Even if he slept like a pig, he should have woken up long ago.
