It was deep into the night.
A martial arts expert, dressed in night clothes, stealthily infiltrated the Governor Mansion.
Just as they vaulted over the courtyard wall, and before they could steady their stance, a Brocade Spring Saber was held to their throat.
Looking ahead, a Mystic Robe-clad youth on the rooftop had the rumored Houyi Bow aid right at their forehead.
To the left was a little girl playing with a dagger.
Even if that dagger turned to ash, he would recognize it as the one ng Qianqian won from the Loulan Queen.
To the right, a white-clad youth munching on a peach sat with legs crossed, leisurely observing him.
He seed to be the least dangerous one.
But if you’ve witnessed how Du Nu takes a beating, you’d know how hard he hits.
Yuchenglou removed his veil: "It’s ."
Shangguan Ling retorted irritably: "Who do you think you are?"
Yuchenglou knew he was being difficult on purpose, so he swallowed his anger and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture: "I am Yuchenglou, requesting to see Young Madam Lu, and I hope you all can kindly pass the ssage."
Tan’er said deliberately, word by word: "Not possible!"
Yu Zichuan put away his bow and turned to leave.
Yuchenglou quickly said: "This little brother is still reasonable."
Yu Zichuan: "I’m going to the restroom."
Yuchenglou: "..."
Taking a bite of his crisp, juicy peach, ng Lang chuckled lazily: "None of them will help you, so why not try to please ? Maybe I can do you a favor."
Yuchenglou then asked: "May I inquire what advice ng Gongzi has?"
ng Lang extended his hand: "Five hundred taels."
Wincing, Yuchenglou reluctantly pulled out five silver notes.
ng Lang: "Gold."
Yuchenglou: "You scoundrel!"
"Let him co over."
Chen Long spoke up.
ng Lang asked curiously: "When did you get here?"
Chen Long ignored him and turned away.
ng Lang grumbled: "Would it kill you to say a few more words?"
Tan’er darted in front of him and made a throat-slitting gesture: "Brother Chen Long might not die, but traitors die terribly!"
ng Lang: "..."
Yuchenglou was taken to Chen Long’s courtyard.
ng Qianqian and Lu Yuan were both present.
Naturally, Shangguan Ling, Tan’er, and ng Lang also ca along to join in the fun.
In such a situation, Qing Shuang was a must.
So, after using the restroom, Yu Zichuan went to call Qing Shuang and brought her along.
Looking at the crowd of people in the courtyard, Yuchenglou’s mouth twitched.
"In the middle of the night, don’t any of you sleep?"
The Loulan Envoy, committed to their duty, was understandable, but why did it seem like this group was shining with excitent, as if not coerced at all?
ng Qianqian said: "Speak your mind."
Tan’er said: "Sis ans, if you need to speak, spit it out already!"
Yuchenglou glanced over the crowd, a smiling tiger Grand Commander, Shangguan Ling with the Brocade Spring Saber, and that... the once-exiled forr Loulan Princely Heir Chen Long, none of them were easy to ss with.
He composed himself and first saluted Chen Long: "Yuchenglou greets the Princely Heir."
Chen Long said expressionlessly: "There’s no Princely Heir of Loulan here."
Yuchenglou sighed, whether he was truly sincere or insincere, nobody knew.
"I don’t have ti to waste words with you; quickly state your purpose."
His sister was pregnant, needed to sleep and wake up early, and this person broke into the Governor Mansion in the middle of the night, it was to his credit that he wasn’t torn limb from limb.
Yuchenglou sensed Chen Long’s killing intent and did not wish to provoke him here, so he stated honestly: "I ca today to ask if you have any interest in cooperating with ?"
"I know, I appear impatient, I should have waited for you to contact , but so things have happened now, which may be unfavorable to you, and I’m just kindly reminding you."
ng Qianqian asked: "If there was no benefit to you, would you be so kind-hearted?"
Yuchenglou didn’t deny it: "A mutually beneficial cooperation, can’t it be?"
ng Qianqian lifted the tea cup: "I have to first hear about your sincerity then."
Pausing, Yuchenglou said: "Mo Yi has practiced an evil skill, every ti he’s injured, his power greatly increases. Today’s battle with Emperor Liang seed disadvantageous, but it was actually highly beneficial."
Tan’er’s eyes widened: "There’s such an amazing martial art in the world?"
She wanted it too!
Chen Long said: "I’ve never heard of it."
Yuchenglou sighed: "If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe it either. In any case, the next ti you face Mo Yi, you should find my words true."
ng Qianqian said lightly: "Is this the extent of your sincerity?"
Yuchenglou smiled: "As expected of a rchant, such important information, yet in your mouth, it’s devalued."
ng Qianqian said coolly: "Information about Ayimulan is only valuable to ."
Yuchenglou looked at Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan half-smiled: "My wife’s words make sense."
Yuchenglou appearing proactively today had already put him at a disadvantage in the negotiation, and now being completely outmatched, he could only accept it.
He said: "The Queen is not here to avenge her son."
ng Qianqian said calmly: "I’m aware of that, and then?"
Yuchenglou was surprised: "You know?"
ng Qianqian took a sip of warm water: "Sending a foolish son to the Central Plains, isn’t that just to ensure he doesn’t return, giving her an excuse to enter the Capital City?"
She was rely making a speculative guess, but from Yuchenglou’s shocked expression, it seed she guessed right.
Ayimulan was more ruthless than imagined.
Yuchenglou’s leverage was dwindling, but if he pulled out now, everything prior would have been wasted.
He had to push on and expressed his sincerity: "I once heard a prophecy in Loulan, saying the Western Regions would see the rise of a true king, and this person would unite the Western Regions with True Dragon Emperor Blood. I suspect the Queen’s entry into the Capital City this ti is related to this rumor."
Speaking this, he glanced at Chen Long, "In addition, there’s one more matter, this prophecy first erged many years ago, when the State Preceptor was still young, he used almost all his heart power to calculate the king’s location, and ended up discovering..."
He suddenly stopped speaking.
ng Qianqian finished his sentence: "The king is in the Shang Family."
Yuchenglou gasped: "You truly are clever."
ng Qianqian clenched her fingers: "So, the Shang Family was annihilated not because of the so-called Military Book or because General Shang was a nightmare to the Western Regions of the Ten Kingdoms, but because of an absurd rumor, a senseless divination!"
Lu Yuan held her hand.
ng Lang asked: "But that doesn’t add up, the Shang Family aren’t from the Western Regions, how could they beco the king of the Western Regions? Would the Western king allow foreigners to rule?"
Yuchenglou’s gaze once again swept over Chen Long.
ng Lang suddenly realized: "Ah! My master!"
Chen Long clenched his fist: "So it’s because of ... the Shang Family was annihilated..."
ng Qianqian quickly said: "It’s not like that, brother!"
Chen Long said coldly: "Let guess, the True Dragon I’m to sacrifice, is it the Loulan King? Otherwise, why would he not even spare his own son!"
Lu Yuan stroked his chin.
