Three hours before Li Chenan left the tavern.
The rain was still very light at that time.
The lotus lake in the backyard of Zhongli Mansion is already misty.
Zhongli Ruoshui was sitting on the covered bridge next to the Lotus Lake. She listened carefully to the sword dance report:
"Miss, that Song Yuanping lives in Zhuoyu Xiaozhu. That place... is the branch office of the Fish and Dragon Society in Guangling City."
"I went to spy for three days. There were about sixteen people in the martial arts community. The one with the highest martial arts skills was not Song Yuanping, but a one-eyed old man named Lu."
"Based on what I've seen him practicing martial arts, he's probably at the lower level of the Four Realms."
"If Mr. Li's mission is to assassinate Song Yuanping...he has no chance at all."
Zhongli Ruoshui frowned. She didn't expect that Ning Chuchu would give Li Chenan an impossible task.
At that moment, she thought a lot and understood a lot.
Ning Chuchu did this just because she wanted her, Zhongli Ruoshui, to help Li Chenan!
The Ichthyosaurus Club is Rei Kyungji’s mortal enemy.
Although the Fish and Dragon Society is in the hands of Prime Minister Ji, it is the sword of the second prince!
And Li Jingsi exists to maintain the prince's orthodoxy.
In this battle for the throne, many high-ranking officials chose their positions, but the Zhongli Mansion seemed to be unscrupulous in this matter and was not solicited by any force.
Ning Chuchu took advantage of herself!
She knew that she had a secret crush on Li Chenan.
She also knew that even if Li Chenan didn't tell her, she would send someone to protect Li Chenan.
And if you don't want Li Chenan to die, you must use the power around you to destroy the Fish and Dragon Society!
If this spreads out, the court will definitely think that the Zhongli Mansion is on the side of the prince!
Therefore, the person who took the lead in using Zhongli Mansion through Li Chenan happened to be his best friend, Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess!
Zhongli Ruoshui took a deep breath, "Go and tell Mr. Wu, just say...just say that his apprentice is in danger, take him there, he knows what to do!"
"good!"
Jian Wu turned around and left. After a while, a small boat came to the Lian Lake, and a person flew up from the small boat.
He opened a floral paper umbrella in the air, spread out his body, strode forward, and soon landed on the covered bridge.
He closed the umbrella and handed it to a maid, who sat calmly opposite Zhongli Ruoshui.
"Third sister, I support you in giving those lands to Li Chenan to make wine."
"But Third Sister, you can definitely earn a lot of money from that wine, but you... I just heard my mother say something to my father yesterday."
"What's up?"
"Mother said that Concubine Ji intends to propose to you on behalf of the Second Prince!"
Zhongli Ruoshui was shocked, "How could she do this? She clearly knows that I will definitely not agree!"
"When I was in Kyoto, although I had many interactions with the second prince, I only went to play with Cheng Zhe and the others."
"I have no interest in Cheng Zhe, let alone his second prince Ning Zhixing!"
Zhongli Qiuyang raised his eyebrows and asked: "The second prince is quite handsome, and he is proficient in literature, Taoism and martial arts. I don't understand. In what way is he not better than Li Chenan?"
"Grandma said it's better to be a bird flying freely in the sky than to be a canary in a cage."
"When I'm with Li Chen'an, I feel peaceful inside. How can I tell you? It's just... that kind of unrestrained feeling, just like sitting in a peach orchard on a March day, listening to the gurgling stream and watching the peach blossoms bloom. .”
"I can't tell what attracted me to him. Maybe it was the heroic spirit expressed in his song "About to Enter the Wine", or maybe it was his indifferent temperament. Anyway, I felt that way when Cheng Zhe or You can’t feel it on the second prince’s body, this should be what grandma calls genuine love.”
Zhongli Qiuyang finally knew that his third sister was hopeless.
He considered it for a moment and asked: "If the emperor issues a decree...how will you face it?"
Zhongli Ruoshui was shocked, "I have to write a letter to grandma!"
…
When Jianwu found Wu Xichen, he was feeding the horse.
"Going to Boiled Rain Xiaozhu? Li Chenan went to Boiled Rain Xiaozhu? Is that place the branch of the Fish and Dragon Society? This kid really doesn't know how to live or die!"
"Miss Third means that Li Chenan is your only apprentice, so I ask you to save him!"
Wu Xichen pondered for a moment and understood the meaning of the third lady's words——
This is leaving Zhongli Mansion aside.
The destruction of the Guangling sub-rudder of the Fish and Dragon Society will definitely cause a shock to the main rudder of Yujing City, and it is very possible that it may even alarm Prime Minister Ji.
Then the Ichthyosaur Society will definitely send people to investigate in detail.
There are not many forces that can destroy the Guangling Branch of the Fish and Dragon Society, and the Zhongli Mansion may also become the target of suspicion.
Murder always leaves some clues, and at such a special time, Zhongli Mansion cannot be used as a knife.
Then you can only borrow the sword in your hand!
For Zhongli Ruoshui, Wu Xichen could only draw his sword.
"Let's go, then let's kill this person."
…
While Wu Xichen and Jianwu flew towards Boiled Rain Villa, a carriage slowly drove out of Boiled Rain Villa.
It passed the square outside Ningxiang Pavilion, bypassed the rockery in the middle of the road, drove out of the archway of Ningxiang Pavilion and disappeared into the rainy night.
In a wooden building in Boi Yu Xiaozhu.
Song Yuanping was sitting at the top of a spacious room, with a row of desks on both sides below. Twelve people were sitting cross-legged in front of the desks.
"Just now someone from the Huo family discussed something with me."
"The helm will give you some tasks next."
"It's not a tricky job. It's a trivial matter."
"You must have heard of Huapingchun Bar? It was brewed by the former fool Li Chenan from Erjinggou Alley!"
"Stay a while... Zhou Zuo takes a few brothers to the tavern. The rest can be killed, but Li Chenan must be brought back."
He picked up the tea cup on the short table beside him and took a sip, "I want to live."
"Subordinates take orders!"
"Let's talk about one thing next," Song Yuanping put down the tea cup and said: "There are very few spies left in the Guanglingzhou branch of the Lijing Division, but there will be some left after all."
"The above meaning is that Guangling Prefecture is a very important place, and it would be best to eliminate all the people in Lijing Division!"
"So the next task is to get the list of personnel from the Guangling branch of the Lijing Division, and then, of course, eradicate them!"
"Leave this matter to Mr. Lu. You can mobilize everyone in the Guanglingzhou branch of our Fish and Dragon Association."
"Start with that little girl in the coffin shop."
A one-eyed old man stood up, bowed his hands and said, "Captain, that little girl is working in Li Chenan's tavern."
"Oh, that's it... Then Mr. Lu will go with Zhou Zuo and bring her back for interrogation."
"I obey my orders!"
At this moment, a guard suddenly ran in.
"Report to the helmsman... he's gone overboard!"
"There's a fire in Yuhuaxuan, the fire is huge!"
