Chu Qianli arrived very quickly this time.
The group took only seven days to reach the outskirts of the Beiming Imperial City.
The city gates were heavily guarded.
"Shiyi, what did you find out?" Chu Qianli, now disguised as a man, asked. As for the Fu Long and Fu Ning siblings, one was disguised as an old man, and the other as an old woman.
The level of their disguise was so strong that even those familiar with them would need to take a good look to recognize them.
Chu Qianli didn't need to worry about Shiyi, as someone skilled in gathering information would also be adept at hiding their tracks.
"Three days ago, something strange happened in the Imperial City—the Emperor wants to personally oversee the execution of an immigrant criminal."
"What criminal?" Chu Qianli's face suddenly changed.
Although she made great efforts to appear calm, the unease in her eyes was still evident.
Fu Long hurriedly said, "Shiyi, speak frankly, no need to beat around the bush."
