Achieve Rivers and Mountains - C194
The bamboo curtain was slowly lowered, and only then did the person waiting outside push open the door and enter. Seeing that this person was young, with a face like a jujube, starry eyes and a nose like a jade and a beautiful beard hanging down to his chest, he really looked quite handsome, making one’s heart race to look at him. He was eight feet tall, and wore a hero’s crown. He wore a parrot’s green battle robe, and held the Azure Dragon’s crescent moon blade in his hand. He was truly the reincarnation of Guan Gonggong, and the Second Master had been reborn.
“Sir Li, you are on time.” the man behind the curtain asked when he heard him enter the room.
“How could I dare to miss your appointment?” The beautiful man was calm and collected. Although he treated the person behind the curtain respectfully, he was neither servile nor overbearing. Your excellency’s foresight is like that of a god. Prince Consort Qin really did use a golden cicada to shed its shell. ”
The person behind the curtain snorted disdainfully, “This guy’s mind is always so secretive, it’s not surprising.”
“How do you know so much? And you have a grudge with that Prince Consort Qin? ” The bearded man did not trust the mysterious person who had given him advice. This person definitely did not do so to help him. His actions were extremely dangerous, his personal life was not enough, but the lives of his subordinates were all in his hands, so he could not play around with them.
“You don’t need to know what grudges I have with that bastard. You only need to know that in this world, only I can see through that brat’s schemes, and only I can help Mister Li.”
“Ninety-nine has been pursued by people disguised as princesses, and his whereabouts are now unknown. According to the information gathered by the scouts, they went missing together with a handsome gray-robed man after causing a ruckus at the city gates. ”
“Beautiful face, gray-robed man? That must be the Dragon Sword Villa’s fortune. Hehe, other than those few materials from the Dragon Sword Villa, there is no one else who can use the surname Qin. ” The man behind the curtain knew Qin Xiao’s background very well. He then asked: “Where is that Dan girl and the princess?”
“My people followed your orders and encircled them halfway. I just didn’t expect that the Single Manor Lord’s martial arts was so outstanding that my men were no match for him and had already escaped.”
“The southern part of the city’s forest is a path that must be taken to the Dragon Sword Villa. They must have hidden the princess in the Dragon Sword Villa and Miss Jing. If she had fallen into Laifu’s hands — I’m afraid they would have already arrived at the bandit’s lair.”
At first, the old man had great hopes, but when he heard this, his face showed disappointment. He shook his head and said: “Sir, you are mistaken. I have already sent some people to sneak into the Dragon Sword Villa to inquire, they never came back.”
“This — how could this be?” The person behind the curtain seemed to be unable to endure it any longer, unable to accept her mistake. She said excitedly: “You must have been tricked by them, it must have been!” he said excitedly.
“I have investigated in secret, but there is no trace of them. It shouldn’t be wrong. I have also ordered people to use the name of the Dragon Sword Villa to rob the goods of the Yu Clan. Right now, they are being pursued closely by the imperial government, and from the beginning till the end, the Single Manor Lord has never shown his face. But if that is the case, then what other power will come in? ” The man with a beautiful beard seemed to not understand, and he asked: “Could it be that they have all returned to the palace? But why is the imperial government still wantonly searching for the princess? ”
“Impossible!” Qin definitely will not allow Dragon Sword Villa to enter the palace! ” The person behind the curtain was slightly enthusiastic as he laughed, “This matter can be easily resolved. Go set fire to the entire Dragon Sword Villa tonight and kill everyone on their villa to see if they can come out!” These murderous words were as easy as eating and sleeping in his mouth. It made his hair stand on end.
“Absolutely not! Who do you think I, Li Fan, am? would they do such a thing? ” The green dragon crescent moon blade in Li Fan’s hand trembled, emitting a metallic sound. It was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with the words of the person behind the curtain. This person’s righteousness was one thing, but the person who held respect towards the people of the Dragon Sword Villa was the other. Of course, he was even more unwilling to have such a huge conflict with her.
“What a righteous Li Fan, you don’t even know the small details of becoming a big shot. Why are you learning from him to rebel?” The person behind the curtain scoffed with disdain, then said, “You admire him for daring to fight against the imperial government, but he is already a lackey of the imperial government, what is there for you to worry about? Since the Dragon Sword Villa is so close to him, they have long been in the same nest as each other. But you still think that he is a hero? ”
“Don’t say anymore. Although surnamed Qin is from the imperial court, I am not blind. I can still see what he has done since he entered the Ministry of Justice.” The case of Chen Shuwen and the Ding Family was known to the world, and the matter of how Qin Xiaoliu overturned the case for the two of them had already been written in drama. Although it was somewhat exaggerated, the people still applauded and cheered. Forget it, this matter has been troubling you for a long time. Please tell me, your Excellency, how is the brother who entered the manor to arrest the princess doing? Where? “I’ll send you my thanks later on. We’re not on the same path, so we’ll bid our farewells here.”
“Whatever. Since Elder Li doesn’t believe me, then I have nothing to say.” That brother of yours — hehe, I don’t think we should save him. ”
“What do you mean?”
“If I die in battle, I’m afraid you can’t go to the Underworld to find me, right? If they were captured alive — hehe, how could they not accept Qin Xiaoliu’s men? I’m afraid that the eight generations of your ancestors have already been recruited. I think it would be better for Mister Li to find another hiding place. ”
Li Fan ignored him and said coldly, “That Brother Zhou would rather die than betray his friend, since you don’t know anything about him, then forget about it.” Just as Li Fan was about to turn around and leave, the person behind the curtain added, “Even if he keeps his mouth shut, that Qin fella still has plenty of ways to pry it open. Forget it, since Young Master Li doesn’t believe me, I have nothing to say. Although I love money, I don’t want any part of it from you. Since I am going to help Sir Li to the end, I will give you a big gift later on. As soon as he finished speaking, Li Fan heard the creaking sound from behind the curtain. Not long after that, he vaguely saw a hidden mechanism, and that person disappeared in a flash. Li Fan turned the curtain and was about to check it out.
Laifu was lying on the soft couch, enjoying the rare feeling of being served. He had served others for all these years. Jing Jiu was unwilling to pay attention to everyone, especially the kind water. Every time he saw her, he would either raise his eyebrows or pretend not to see her. Shang Xingshui was even more unwilling to pay any attention to Jing Jiu. The indifferent Great Manor Lord directly treated her as if she was nothing. Laifu was wedged between the two of them, constantly lamenting. What made him feel the most uncomfortable was not being caught between the two girls, but how to keep Jing Jiu and that princess who could not even calm down for a while. Yes, no one would have expected that the Great Yan Dynasty’s Princess Yi Huan would live in a luxurious villa that had nothing to do with her! She had instructed everyone not to return to Dragon Sword Villa in case of any accidents. In the past two days, there had been no one who had come to the Rich Villa to gather information, and Shang Jianshui had also given face to Dan Rong and Lai Fu to receive these unrelated people. However, after the pampered princess had locked the door, Rong Rui had been yelling about coming out to take a breather, and even more so, about returning to the Imperial Palace. The maids who had served her the kindest water were so angry by her that they refused to go in again. He simply locked her in his room. He didn’t want her to come out, so he prevented her from running away. He wanted to avoid any conflict between him and Jing Jiu. That Jing Jiu was as straightforward as a man was rare. He honestly admitted that he owed Lai Fu and would not make any movements in the mansion. After leaving, he would openly assassinate everyone.
Lucky had left her lying on the soft couch, pretending to be dead. Jing Jiu stayed by his side and asked about her illness every day, until now she seemed to feel a little unwilling to leave. She remembered clearly that Laifu had told her before he came that he would tell her everything he wanted to know. Although she had new ideas about this operation, she was also concerned about the safety of her Big Brother Li. But now that Lucky was in this situation, how could she have the nerve to ask? She could only hope that she would recover soon.
Shang Lianshui brought a bowl of bone soup over to see Laifu. She had always believed that Laifu had helped her, so she had always believed that she should care for him now. Even if it was that unruly princess, for the sake of Dragon Sword Villa’s sake, she could still take her in, but she couldn’t tolerate this Jing Jiu who looked down on everyone else. She pushed the door open and entered, seeing that Jing Jiu Jiu was standing guard inside the room, as if he would melt at any moment if he didn’t see her. She ignored him and walked straight to Fu’s side. She sat on a stool and said gently, “Sir, drink the soup.”
Jing Jiu instantly jumped up and ran over to her side and snatched the bowl of meat away. He did not laugh and said, “Forget about it, Marquis of Purple Robe, you’ve already become a marquis. How could I bother you with the work of a servant like you? “I just don’t know who bestowed this marquis the title, but I’ve never seen a woman who could become the marquis before, and I don’t know if she was fearing it herself or not.”
“Oh? Is that so? In other words, Miss Jing was comparing herself to a lowly person? My Rich Villa lacks nothing, but it does not lack servants. ” Shang Lianshui wasn’t good at quarreling, but he could suffocate people to death with his words. Even Qin Xiaoliu had experienced this before.
