After Xiang Nan came out of the meeting hall, he went to the market with Pei Zhao.
Just as he was about to find a place to chat, he heard a charming voice shout, "General Pei~"
Immediately, a gust of fragrant wind hit his face, and then he saw a beautiful woman rushing towards Pei Zhao.
"Hey, I'm not here to drink." Pei Zhao stretched out his hand to block her.
"If you don't come here to drink, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea." The beautiful woman still held Pei Zhao's arm and said.
"I was just passing by." Pei Zhao pushed her away.
"You can't just pass by my place." The beauty still invited her warmly.
Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Go in, don't refuse others' kindness."
With that said, he walked into the tavern first.
"This young man is still knowledgeable and knowledgeable," the beauty said with a smile.
When Pei Zhao saw this, he had no choice but to walk in.
…
"This is my private collection of aged grapes. It has a lot of stamina." The beauty presented a bottle of wine, then looked at Pei Zhao and said with a smile.
Pei Zhao lowered his head and ignored her.
The beauty didn't take it seriously, and turned to look at Xiang Nan, "This young man looks strange, may I ask..."
"I'm in the jewelry business and I'm a good friend of General Pei." Xiang Nan smiled slightly and introduced himself, "Everyone calls me Fifth Young Master."
"Fifth Young Master?! Does that mean you are the fifth eldest child in the family?" The beauty asked with a smile after hearing this, obviously intending to test.
"Why are you talking so much? Stop talking and pour the wine first!" Pei Zhao saw this and yelled.
"Yes." The beauty glanced at Pei Zhao with a charming look, then poured wine for Xiang Nan and Pei Zhao, "Take it easy, please, call me if you need anything."
After that, he stood up, twisted his slender waist, and went to take care of other guests.
"There are really everyone in this place." Xiang Nan looked at Pei Zhao and said.
"Well, because this place is on the border of many countries, there is a mix of fish and dragons. Each has his own master and his own agenda." Pei Zhao explained.
Xiang Nan nodded, "What's the name of this landlady?"
"Miro." Pei Zhao replied.
…
"Fifth Prince, I captured a Danchi man named Batur a few days ago. After interrogation, he confessed that he was the person who assassinated the prince. Li Min has escorted him to Beijing and will probably come back soon. "Pei Zhao said to Xiang Nan.
"A Zhao, do you really believe that it was Danchi who assassinated my eldest brother?" Xiang Nan curled his lips when he heard this.
Pei Zhao was slightly startled, "Does the fifth prince think so?"
Xiang Nan nodded, "I sneaked into King Danchi's tent this time and inquired and found out that although the people of Danchi knew that Fengchao sent troops, they didn't know the specific reason.
Even King Tiedal thought that we sent troops to the imperial court because Dan Chi had harassed the border over the years. If they really could kill the eldest brother, why were they so confused? "
"But... Batur has confessed." Pei Zhao asked in confusion.
"Under three trees, what can you ask for?" Xiang Nan said quietly.
Even a strong-willed man would find it difficult to withstand harsh torture to extract confessions and induce others to do so with words. Especially Danchi people are simple-minded and are more likely to fall into traps.
"The Fifth Prince thinks there is something fishy about it, then do you want to report it to His Majesty?" Pei Zhao said quickly.
"I just have suspicions, but there is no evidence, so it is not appropriate to report them hastily. Besides, the battle between Toyochao and Danchi is already imminent. Reporting it now will only affect morale." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "But A Zhao, eldest brother His death, and injustice. We must keep this in mind, and one day we will avenge our eldest brother."
Pei Zhao heard this and nodded.
…
In the next few days, Xiang Nan studied Western characters in Anhu Mansion.
He learns very quickly, far beyond ordinary people's imagination.
At the same time, Gao Xian also sent troops to strangle spies from various countries in the city.
The war was imminent, and he did not want military information to be leaked, so he went on a killing spree.
As a result, the city was filled with blood and countless people died. Even Milo, the stunningly beautiful and charming restaurant owner, disappeared in this purge.
It was unknown whether she was alive or dead, which made Xiang Nan regretful that she would not be able to drink her private collection of aged grapes.
…
"Fifth Prince, I just received news that King Danchi Tiedal has issued a reward. Whoever can kill the White-Eyed Wolf King can marry the ninth princess of Xizhou.
Now there is a clamor outside, and nine out of ten warriors from all over the world have gone into the mountains to hunt the Wolf King. "On this day, Pei Zhao reported to Xiang Nanhui.
Xiang Nan frowned when he heard this.
"The King of Xizhou has promised me a marriage with the Toyo Dynasty, and now King Tiedal has issued a reward to find a son-in-law for the nine princesses of Xizhou. This is not only disrespectful to the King of Xizhou, but also disrespectful to my Toyo Dynasty. It is simply unreasonable!" He was angry! typical.
"This move is indeed inappropriate." Pei Zhao nodded, and then advised, "But the fifth prince does not need to worry too much. The White-Eyed Wolf King has been in Tiangen Mountain for more than ten years. He is cunning and ferocious. He has become a legend in the Western Region. Someone will kill it.”
"No matter how cruel and cunning he is, he is just a beast." Xiang Nan curled his lips, "If he is really killed, and King Tiedal really betroths the Ninth Princess to him, then won't it become a joke for me to be in the imperial court, and with Xizhou's Wouldn’t the marriage be in vain?”
"That's what the fifth prince is worried about." Pei Zhao agreed upon hearing this.
If the Ninth Princess is really betrothed to someone else, how can she still be the crown prince of the Toyo Dynasty? The marriage plan between Toyo Chao and Xizhou will be ruined in one day, and it will also affect Toyo Chao's control of the Western Territory.
"A Zhao, help me find a reliable hunter. I want to go into the mountains and kill the White Eyed Wolf King." Xiang Nan said immediately.
"This..." Pei Zhao was stunned, but still nodded.
…
Xiang Nan was then led by hunters into Tiangen Mountain.
Tiangen Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles and is filled with strange rocks and beasts. Among them, the White-Eyed Wolf King is the overlord among the beasts and is extremely ferocious.
"Sir, this wolf dung is still fresh. It seems that there must be a pack of wolves nearby." The hunter carefully checked the traces on the ground and then reported to Xiang Nanhui.
Xiang Nan nodded.
Follow the footprints left by the wolves and continue tracking. In less than an hour, they entered a dense forest.
At this time, the mountains were beginning to rise, and a mist rose in the woods, making the forest darker and gloomier, making the hunters tremble and have lingering fears.
"Sir, you can't go any further. If you go any further, you might end up in a wolf's den," the hunter reminded.
At this moment, a wolf howl was suddenly heard in the distance, "Ouch..."
Immediately, the pack of wolves got together, and the sound of howling could be heard endlessly.
"Sir, we are in big trouble. We are really being targeted." When the hunter heard this, he was so frightened that he peed.
He and Xiang Nan were no match for the wolves.
Even the horses they were riding were restless at the moment, snoring and stamping their hooves.
"You run away first." Xiang Nan took out a gold ingot and threw it to him. Then he pulled out the sword from under the saddle and said, "I'll help you hold on for a while."
"Thank you, sir. Your good deeds will be rewarded." The hunter took the gold ingot and said happily, then turned his horse's head and left quickly.
Xiang Nan got off the horse, took off his backpack, then patted the horse, "You should run for your life too."
The horse neighed, turned around and ran away.
Xiang Nan put on his backpack and walked forward facing the howling of wolves.
