I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

Chapter 226 Secret Organization

As the night deepened, the lights in the Jiang Mansion remained brightly lit. In the study, Mo Nianran and Elder Yun were still nervously discussing how to deal with the impending crisis brought about by General Wang of the Iron Blood Army.

Suddenly, there were light footsteps outside the door, and a crisp and hurried voice broke the brief silence: "Brother, sister-in-law, please listen to me!"

Everyone turned around to see Jiang Caiwei's younger sister, Jiang Ruoxi, standing at the doorway, clutching a letter that had just been delivered to the mansion. "This is a secret report from the capital," she panted, "said that the Youlan Organization might be behind this."

"Youlan?" Mo Nianran immediately took the letter. "What exactly does this so-called secret organization want to do?"

Mo Nianran and Elder Yun exchanged a glance, and Elder Yun slowly nodded, "We can't just sit there and wait for death. Now that Youlan is involved, we must be even more careful."

The atmosphere in the study grew increasingly tense, and even the usually composed Jiang Yin seemed a little restless. "We must contact all trusted friends and forces as soon as possible," he instructed a close confidant. "Especially, we must ensure that the border troops receive timely reinforcements."

At this moment, a servant walked into the room and whispered that Su Mei had something urgent to report to Jiang Caiwei.

Jiang Caiwei frowned slightly but then relaxed: "Please ask her to come in."

A moment later, the ragged but resolute old man walked into the study. Su Mei took a deep breath and said, "The secrets I mentioned earlier are actually important intelligence about the Youlan Organization... They not only involve high-ranking officials in the imperial court, but also contain some very sensitive information."

Everyone turned their eyes to this brave old man——

Elder Yun asked, "What kind of information is it?"

"It is said that... the Youlan Organization is planning to use this conflict to stir up civil unrest so that they can take control of the government!" Su Mei's words were like a huge rock hitting a calm lake, causing thousands of ripples.

The room suddenly fell silent, and everyone present was overwhelmed by a complex emotion—shock, indignation, and even more so, uneasiness about the unknown fate...

However, at this moment, a commotion outside interrupted everyone's thoughts. "Come and see!" "It seems like there are really a lot of soldiers coming over there!"

Jiang Caiwei quickly stood up and looked out the window. She saw a group of uniformly armored soldiers gathering outside the city gate, preparing to enter the city. "It seems to be true..." she muttered to herself, then turned to look at everyone around her and continued firmly:

"We must not be intimidated no matter what. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles we face, we must bravely face them! Because only in this way can we protect our family, friends and this land!"

Mu Jin clenched his fists excitedly and agreed, "That's right! Even the Iron-Blooded King can't make us bow our heads and surrender."

Just as everyone was encouraging each other, the voices of several servants discussing loudly could be heard from outside the door:

"Oh my God... This is really troublesome!" A servant's voice was full of anxiety.

Another older man tried to comfort everyone: "Don't worry too much, guys. I believe that the mistress and the young master will definitely lead us through this storm safely."

Amidst all the discussions, the study was bustling with activity yet filled with confidence and fighting spirit: Jiang Caiwei picked up a map and began to study the terrain around the entire city in order to formulate a battle plan; while Mo Nianran was constantly contacting other families or allies for support.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the study door, followed by the servant's slightly anxious voice: "Sir, there is a man outside who calls himself 'Feihong' and wants to see you. He said he came with important information."

Hearing the name, Jiang Yin's eyes lit up instantly, and he quickly ordered the other party in. A short while later, a dusty but energetic young man entered the room, bowed, and said, "I apologize for my haste. However, I just intercepted intelligence on the enemy's deployment, which I believe will buy us more time to fully prepare for the challenge."

These words immediately attracted the attention of the entire audience, and everyone stared intently at the extremely precious piece of paper in their hands...

"Very good!" Elder Yun nodded appreciatively and turned to announce to everyone, "Every minute and every second is extremely precious now. Please act according to the arrangements."

As the tasks were completed, everyone left and began to make preparations...

That night, the moon was high in the sky and the sky was quiet. Only the occasional sound of weapons clashing reminded everyone of the impending battle.

Just before stepping into their respective posts, Jiang Caiwei stopped and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar city outline before her and said softly, "No matter how tomorrow changes, we must firmly believe that light will eventually dispel darkness."

Jiang Yin gently held her hand and responded, "As long as you are here, there is nothing that cannot be overcome."

With that, the two of them disappeared into the night and went their separate ways to begin their respective missions.

The next morning, sunlight filtered through the mist, illuminating the city. On the city streets, people were already buzzing with discussion. Outside the Jiang residence, a group of citizens gathered on the street, discussing the impending war and the legendary Iron-Blooded General Wang.

"Have you heard? That Iron-blooded Army King has brought a lot of troops here!" A middle-aged man said with some worry in his voice.

"Yeah, I heard that too. I wonder if the Jiang family can stop these guys this time..." another young man echoed.

At this moment, a sharp and excited shout came from the crowd: "Wow! Look over there! The Jiang family is coming!"

Everyone immediately looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Jiang Yin and several elite soldiers of the Jiang family moving in unison through the crowd and heading towards the city wall.

An aunt selling vegetables saw this scene and her eyes suddenly lit up: "Oh my God, look at that aura! This is the young man of our Jiang family, so handsome!" Her tone was full of pride.

Another passing vendor sighed, "It's truly impressive. But honestly, this time we're facing the Iron-Blooded King and his troops, which is not going to be easy."

As everyone was discussing this, a young woman walked by and, after hearing their discussion, couldn't help but show a hint of envy: "It's really admirable. Even though the situation is so critical, they remain so determined and brave, as if nothing can stop them."
