The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

However, this book is Yang Qi's spiritual food, just as important as clothes, and it is indispensable along the way.

When packing his luggage, Yang Qi struggled for a long time before he took a small box and selected a few of his favorite books.

If these are not enough, I can just buy some on the way. The road from the capital to Xihu is not a wild place, so it is not difficult to buy some books.

Today, Yang Qi picked out books from the small box and finally chose the "Art of War" copied from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Xiaoqing had just put away her bedding and belongings when she turned around and saw the young lady reading a book by the light. The candle was swaying gently, with a warm orange-yellow bottom and a quiet atmosphere.

In such a beautiful atmosphere, the young lady looks particularly gentle.

Xiaoqing, who had experienced fighting and killing since childhood, began to learn to appreciate this kind of tranquil beauty at this time.

To be honest, Yang Qi's performance today was somewhat beyond Xiaoqing's expectations.

I thought that these noble ladies who were brought up in luxury were all spoiled young ladies who could not endure hardships and fatigue. When Chief Peilin first gave Xiaoqing the message, although Xiaoqing showed no resistance on her face, she gave this mission a very low score in her heart.

However, after that day's interaction with Miss Yang Qi, Xiao Qing raised the score in her mind a little.

Although Miss Yangqi couldn't bear the hardship of traveling for a long time at first, she actively solved the problems afterwards and did not complain.

The most amazing thing is that Miss Yang Qi traveled all day and still found time to read at night!

Yang Qi had no idea what Xiao Qing was thinking, he just focused on the book.

Therefore, there are five types of spies: local spies, internal spies, double agents, dead spies, and living spies. All five spies are used together, and no one knows how to use them. This is called divine discipline, and it is a treasure for the ruler. Local spies are used because of their fellow villagers. Internal spies are used because of their officials. Double agents are used because of their enemy spies. Dead spies are used to spread false information outside, so that our spies know it and pass it on to enemy spies. Living spies are used to report back.

Everyone is a chess piece, and everything is on the chessboard. There is no absolutely bad thing, only chess pieces that have not been used correctly. ——Yuan Ruiyuan

Looking at His Highness's comments, Yang Qi couldn't help but stare in a daze.

The existence of spies is an unavoidable problem, whether on the battlefield or in the court. If spies are used well, they can be as effective as a powerful army.

However, there is a lot of knowledge involved in how to use spies for your own benefit.

But this "The Art of War" is worthy of being a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation. In just a few words, it reveals the key to the key, which is double spies and dead spies. Double spies refer to bribing or using spies sent by the enemy to work for us. Dead spies refer to using the enemy to kill spies by spreading false information.

As His Highness's comment said, there are no bad spies, only chess pieces that have not been used correctly.

After a long time, Yang Qi picked up the pen and added a sentence after His Highness's comments: Everyone is a chess piece, and everyone is in the game.

His Royal Highness is a rare talent, destined to be honorable and glorious since birth. Only a person like His Royal Highness can confidently say that he is the chess player.

However, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot avoid the fact that he is in the middle of a conspiracy.

Holding the book, Yang Qi's eyes once again flashed with His Highness's face and his affectionate words: "Only with you can I feel at ease."

Unable to hold the Molten Mountain Warm Jade tightly, Yang Qi raised the corners of his mouth in a silly smile.

"Don't push me, don't push me."

"I'll come, I'll come."

"It's my turn, get out of the way!"

The noise outside the house became louder and louder. Yang Qi finally came to his senses, shook his head, and let go of his hand: "Huh."

Aren't you reading a book? Why did you think of that again? Beauty is really misleading, beauty is misleading!

Putting the book down, Yang Qi was just about to drink a sip of tea when he saw Xiao Qing, who was staring at him motionlessly.

Not sure if it was his illusion, Yang Qi just felt that Xiao Qing's eyes looking at him were much gentler than in the morning.

Since childhood, Yang Qi never needed anyone to serve him when he was reading.

Xiao Qing standing there made Yang Qi feel a little uncomfortable: "You should also go to bed early. I don't need anyone here."

Shaking her head, Xiao Qing said, "The order your highness gave me is to protect the young lady personally."

Yes, now that I have the treasure, I really need someone to protect me. Looking around the room, Yang Qi said, "Then I'll have to let you sleep on the couch tonight." There was only one bed in the room.

After listening to Yang Qi's words, Xiao Qing's expression was not as cold as before: "Being able to live in the house is already very good." When performing tasks, they often encounter situations where they have to spend the night in the wild.

Sometimes, in order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, he often had to stay motionless in the grass for an hour or two. Even if mosquitoes bit him, or snakes or ants passed by, he had to maintain the same posture.

Yang Qi opened his mouth but didn't say anything in the end. Xiao Qing looked only a little older than him, but she had already become an excellent secret guard beside His Highness. The hardships she had gone through were beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Among the five people in Yang Qi's group, A'du was in charge of the connection with the Guangmingtang forces, while A'yi, the secret guard whom Yang Qi called "Second Brother" on paper, was responsible for the communication with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

At this moment, Ayi knocked on the door and came in, breaking the silence.

Handing the bamboo tube to Yang Qi, Ayi said respectfully, "There's a message from home."

Isn't the one who can be called "family" the Crown Prince?

I just set off early this morning, and now I’ve received a letter?

Yang Qi was a little curious and opened the bamboo tube. His Highness' words were simple: "Six teams have been discovered. Be careful."

Yang Qi carefully looked at His Highness's words, making sure that nothing was missing before he put the paper on the fire.

Watching the flames spread rapidly, Yang Qi asked, "How many teams did Your Highness send this time?"

This question was beyond the scope of Ayi's knowledge. He lowered his head and said, "Miss, this matter was arranged by the commander himself. Everyone has their own tasks and they really don't know each other's arrangements."

What Ayi said made sense, just as Zong Yue would not leave all the things to his subordinates.

Nodding, Yang Qi asked Ayi to leave first.

His Highness's words once again reminded Yang Qi.

As soon as His Highness's men moved, the Fifth Prince's men followed, which meant that the Fifth Prince was keeping a closer eye on His Highness.

The undercurrent is surging, and the court is now being fought over by many forces. If one cannot go against the current and seize the supreme position, he will probably be thrown into the abyss by this undercurrent.
