“Come over.”
Xiao Wei’s eyes darkened slightly, hesitated for a moment, and made a decision.
“Grand Commander.”
A female official from the Finance Department hurriedly walked over after hearing the summon.
Xiao Wei ordered in a deep voice: “Dispatch the Finance Department’s experts in two groups to reinforce the Supervision Department and Department of Justice.”
The female official was taken aback, her face slightly changing: “Grand Commander, if we dispatch all our experts, what if someone breaks into the Imperial Court and causes trouble…”
“In these critical times, His Majesty’s safety is more important.”
Xiao Wei’s face darkened, her imposing aura without anger: “Send someone to the Imperial Academy, inform Dean Chen, and ask her to send some assistance.”
“Yes.”
The female official dared not raise any more objections, and retreated two steps before following the order.
**
The Imperial Academy?
Will my sister be pulled away from the Imperial Academy as well?
Lin Qingluo’s long, dense eyelashes trembled as she retracted her mind, slowly opening her eyes, showing a trace of worry.
“Master, it seems that the situation is quite serious. Without this treasure, it’s almost impossible for them to completely annihilate the Black Wolf Guard.”
Little Kingfisher’s proud and delicate voice came at this moment, interrupting her thoughts.
Lin Qingluo’s eyebrows raised slightly: “Yin’er, where are you?”
“The Imperial Palace.”
Little Kingfisher fluttered her tiny wings, circling the Imperial Palace, enjoying the scene: “The Black Wolf Guard is like a cornered beast, forcing someone to break into the Imperial Palace, poisonous smoke poisoned a large number of Imperial Guards.”
“Poisonous smoke again.”
Lin Qingluo’s brow furrowed: “Have the people from the Imperial Court arrived?”
“They’re here.”
Little Kingfisher’s proud voice carried a hint of ridicule: “As soon as they encounter the poison smoke, they collapse.”
Lin Qingluo was anxious: “Don’t they have any protection? Not even a handkerchief?”
“Even if they did, it wouldn’t help.”
Little Kingfisher understood at a glance: “The poison smoke has been mixed with a bewitching drug. This Black Wolf Guard must be an expert in poison.”
“Keep an eye on him, I’ll be there immediately.”
Lin Qingluo hesitated no more, stepping out of bed, pushed open the window, her figure flashed and disappeared into the vast night.

As soon as Mu Fangyun inhaled the poison smoke, she felt dizzy and disoriented. She jammed her long sword into the mud to prop herself up and prevent herself from falling.
“Whoosh.”
A cold arrow flew through the smoke, carrying the intent to kill.
She couldn’t avoid it in time, and her left shoulder was pierced by the arrow, blood splattering everywhere.
The intense pain didn’t break her will, but rather made the dizzy feeling disappear a little, and her mind regained some clarity.
“Whoosh, whoosh.”
Two more cold arrows attacked, the sharp whistling sound chilling to the bone.
Mu Fangyun’s pupils shrank slightly, her teeth clenched, and she slashed the sword to break one of them.
The other arrow was impossible to avoid, and she watched helplessly as it aimed at her forehead.
“My life is over!”
As her lips curled into a bitter smile and seemed on the verge of despair, a sharp sword light appeared like a divine weapon, cutting the cold arrow in two.
At the same time, a fragrant floral scent rushed toward her face, filling her heart and lungs, instantly refreshing her spirit, and the dizzy feeling disappeared without a trace.
“Commander Mu, you take care of the injured, leave the Black Wolf Guard to me.”
Lin Qingluo cut the cold arrow with a single sword, threw the antidote with a wave of her hand, and gave the bottle to Mu Fangyun. Without any time to explain, she vanished on the spot.
“Little Qingluo?!”
In Mu Fangyun’s brief glimpse, she only saw a fleeting green figure rushing into the poison smoke like a flash of lightning, disappearing in the blink of an eye as if she had never existed.
If it weren’t for the lingering warmth from the medicine bottle still in her hand, she would have thought it was an illusion.
“Ah!”
From the depths of the poison smoke, the Black Wolf Guard screamed one after another, gradually fading into silence.
