"Li Falcon."
The voice coming from the darkness was cold and hoarse.
"They are all martial arts wizards. It took a lot of effort to train them. They are raised in the palace just to protect the palace..."
An Di looked at the corpses of Ouchi masters all over the ground: "I'll just let you kill him."
"Then you haven't seen a real martial arts prodigy."
The hoarse voice continued: "The ones you raised are just a bunch of idiots."
"Those are also a bunch of idiots who are willing to die for me."
Under the swaying flames, An Di faced the darkness: "Someone invaded, why didn't you let them out and kill them?"
"Because I don't like it."
"Why don't you go? He has already touched me!"
"Because I don't want to."
A voice in the dark, without any emotion.
"Don't forget the deal between us!"
"What about this month's stuff?"
"I have tried my best. I haven't collected all this month's... but the one hundred thousand taels of gold from Wu State have arrived in Andu. When I plunder Chu State, I will definitely..."
"I won't listen to this. In three days, it will be the appointed day every month."
"I don't have that many things. You know it well. You can enter the national treasury and my private treasury at will. I have asked Deng Hui to find the missing items."
"I'll give you another seven days at most. If you can't hand it over, I believe your two sons will be willing to hand it over for you."
"I have one last question."
"ask."
"I have never heard of the King of Wu Kingdom who entered the palace today. Zhu Yiwei and his bunch of losers searched for a long time and only said that the late Emperor of Wu Kingdom, in addition to a few princes and the eldest princess, once had a My little daughter, I don’t know anyone else, is this Prince Li a boy or a girl?”
"…………male."
There was silence for a while, then a voice came from the darkness.
Snap!
The last drop of blood on the long sword slid down the blade, fell to the brown ground, and exploded into a blood flower.
The darkness has completely calmed down.
Phew~
A gust of dark wind blew out the torch in An Di's hand.
The sound of closing the door sounded for a long time, and then a hoarse sigh came from the darkness: "Xiao Wu~ Xiao Wu has grown up... yes... it has been... so many years..."
——————
It's another early morning.
Jingting tilted her head and looked at Ren Ruyi beside her, tracing the human skin mask spread out on the table one stroke at a time.
"I went to the Humanification Factory yesterday, but I didn't get any useful information."
Ren Ruyi took off the human skin mask on his face and compared it, and smiled at the Taoist priest: "I want to disguise myself again and go to the imperial registration room of Zhu Yiwei's general office to see if there is anything about the invitation to Yue. There are records of the Lou incident, as well as some clues to the destruction of the Wudu branch."
"Didn't Ning Yuanzhou say that he would help you investigate?"
"He just looked through the records of the Andu branch over the years. There should be something about Yaoyue Tower. The mission has just arrived in Andu and is busy with business. I will ask him to bring it to me when he has some time to relax."
Ren Ruyi gently held Jingting's forearm: "What you find yourself is always more reliable than what others tell you."
"Then I'll go with you."
"Farewell, your goal is too big now. Everyone around this mission is watching you, both covertly and overtly. If you come with me, how can I sneak in?"
Ren Ruyi's voice was gentle: "Don't forget, I am the number one assassin. With my understanding of Zhu Yiwei, I can handle such trivial matters easily."
"How can these two guards at the door keep an eye on me?"
Jingting chuckled: "I promise, even if I walk past them, they won't be able to spot me."
"Okay, it just so happens that it's your first time coming to Andu. After I finish exploring, we can go shopping. It's not as prosperous as Wudu, but it has its own unique flavor."
Ren Ruyi stretched out a finger and put it on Jingting's lips: "But I have three agreements with you. First, you must obey my command when sneaking in. Second, you are not allowed to use force casually. Third, Andu's gambling house No one of you is allowed in!"
"Everything depends on Madam."
Jingting smiled and put the Taoist robe on herself.
Duo... Duo... Duo.
As soon as the two of them got dressed, they heard a rapid knock on the door of the room.
Opening the door, Genroku's face was at the door.
"Yuan Xiaolu, what's wrong?"
Ren Ruyi could see the eagerness of the young man in front of him at a glance.
"The young minister of Dali Temple, Fan Dongming, is here and wants His Highness to go to Yong'an to visit His Majesty. His Highness is dragging him away on the pretext of changing clothes... He wants to..."
Yuan Lu looked at Jingting and Ren Ruyi: "Brother Jingting and sister Ruyi, are you going out?"
"It's a small matter, I can handle it myself."
Ren Ruyi made a quick decision and squeezed Jingting's palm: "We don't know what accidents may happen to Yong'an Tower and our group. If you follow, Yang Ying will feel more at ease."
"But……"
"Don't worry, there's no danger here."
"Okay, then you take Mingdi with you. If there is any danger, I will rush over immediately."
"Do not worry."
Ren Ruyi arranged the collar of the Taoist robe for Jingting: "I'll be back soon."
After watching Ren Ruyi leave, Jingting looked at Yuan Lu.
"Your Highness is in the room."
Yuanlu hurriedly spoke.
The Taoist grabbed the collar of the boy's clothes behind his neck and the two of them disappeared.
——————
"Brother Yuanzhou, I haven't seen the emperor for a long time. What if the emperor doesn't recognize me?"
When Jingting rushed to the room, Yang Ying had already changed her clothes and was pacing back and forth anxiously.
"It's okay. Your Majesty is wise and wise. He will definitely be able to recognize His Highness."
Du Changshi comforted Yang Ying.
"If he is wise and wise, he cannot listen to the slanderous words and lead an army of 50,000 in a personal expedition, leading to a total defeat."
In front of Du Changshi, the Taoist priest said unceremoniously: "Your sage is very stupid. Is there a more intuitive way?"
"You are not allowed to insult the Holy One."
Du Chang blew his beard angrily and glared.
"There is a ring in front of the Six Paths Hall, the Holy One should know it."
Ning Yongzhou took out the ring and handed it to Yang Ying: "This ring has been modified by Yuanlu. There is a small needle inside. If you are pricked, you will be stunned. If the sage cannot recognize you, stab him unconscious first. Then the sage is too happy and takes the opportunity." Stay and take care of me, if there are any other accidents..."
Ning Yuanzhou looked at Jingting.
"Then we'll have to trouble the Taoist priest."
"rest assured."
"And one more thing."
Ning Yuanzhou pulled Jingting aside: "Find out the mechanism and structure of Yong'an Tower, as well as the defense situation. Emperor An's attitude is a bit vague. I'm afraid he won't let people go."
"It would be great if Pindao just brought him down."
"That won't work. There is no evacuation plan now. If we just bring them down, we won't be able to leave the city."
Ning Yuanzhou shook his head: "Not counting the mysterious master in the palace, Andu is the palace guard, the Yulin Guard, and tens of thousands of forbidden troops. They don't just kill them."
"Old Ning, you can transfer the gold and other people in the mission first, and when we get to that point..."
Jingting was thinking, and Fan Dongming's voice came from outside the door: "Why is His Royal Highness Prince Li so slow? He is still waiting at Yong'an Tower!"
"We will discuss this matter later."
Ning Yuanzhou nodded to Yang Ying: "Your Highness, let's go first."
"Master~"
The girl looked at Jingting beside her.
"The poor man is in the dark."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Taoist disappeared into the room.
——————
After getting on the carriage, Yang Ying embarked on the journey to Yong'an Tower.
Feeling anxious and sweaty on her palms, the little girl closed her eyes and took a deep breath to calm herself down.
"Hoo~"
When he opened his eyes again, Jingting appeared in front of him.
Covering the girl's mouth to call her master, the Taoist spoke quickly.
"Stop talking. The master who was in the palace yesterday is here and has been following your carriage. You are doing everything as usual. Master, go meet him."
