"What is it? You can't suppress your emotions this easily? " The Zhongli Soul, dressed in a light green dress, walked in from outside and bent over to pick up the zither before putting it back.

Feng Qiong's pale face once again paled, and then it slowly recovered its rosy complexion. She softly said: "My apologies, I lost my composure."

Zhong Li smiled with his curved brows, "Even after searching for three months, young master Ren is still unwilling to give up, right?"

Feng Qiong was slightly startled. "You heard it?"

The infant Zhong Li walked to the seat that Bai Zhen had set down and sat down. "If even Young Master Bai happened to hear it, how could I not know that I have been gathering intelligence in the Great Hall all day?"

Feng Qiong lightly sighed, "When did you come? I didn't even notice. "

Zhong Li replied, "Stay in the Wind Cloud Pavilion. If you don't have any good martial arts, you should at least learn how to conceal your presence. "Don't worry, I've just arrived and I've only heard the last few words."

Feng Qiong asked, "Do you think what he said is true?"

The 'he' in his words was naturally Bai Zhen.

Zhong Lixiong declined to comment. "It depends on whether you want to believe it or not, doesn't it? "And …"

When Feng Qiong heard these words, she turned her head to look at him. "What?"

Zhong Li Yuan tilted his head slightly, "Also, you should be well aware of how much Young Noble values the Puppet Palace. Young master, you must know that you have a huge grudge with the Puppet Palace. I can tell you very clearly that if you keep on investigating, you will definitely enrage the Young Master. "

Feng Qiong's expression slightly changed, "Are you admitting that young master Ren is Mo Huaijin?"

Zhong Li Bing smiled: "What are you admitting to? It was originally him. "

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Zhongli Yuan said calmly: "Because I didn't expect you to be so stupid. I also didn't expect you to be so determined to kill yourself."

Feng Qiong was speechless.

The infant Zhong Li lowered his eyes and suddenly asked: "Have you never seen the Young Master kill someone before?"

For a moment, Feng Qiong didn't understand what she meant. "Indeed."

The Zhongli Infant said, "Young Master rarely kills people personally, because he does not easily get angry. But someone who is trusted by him and yet tries to betray him and wants to find out who he is is always enough to make him angry. "

Feng Qiong was silent. After a long time, she suddenly said, "I'm just a bit unresigned."

Zhong Li asked, "So you want to test Young Master's bottom line?"

She looked into her eyes. "I'm not a fool, am I?"

The Zhongli family's baby said, "Of course not."

Feng Qiong bit her lip, clearly very unwilling, but she could do nothing about it. "Then I won't do something so foolish as seeking death."

Zhong Li narrowed his eyes and covered his mouth as he laughed.

Feng Qiong was startled, then asked, "What are you laughing about? Did I say something wrong? " He thought about the conversation and frowned.

Zhong Li Bing stopped laughing, but there was still a hint of a smile in his eyes: "No, I just remembered something young master said."

Feng Qiong blinked. "What sentence?"

Zhong Lizhu raised a finger and shook it: "Women who are too smart and calm are not cute."

Feng Qiong let out a small sigh, and counted with her jade fingers, "The young master doesn't like smart, sensible, pretty, and calm women. What does he like?"

Zhong Li smiled, "That depends on whether you want to be a woman he likes or a subordinate he likes."

Feng Qiong choked, and she seemed rather amused. "From the sound of it, you and I have never been treated as women by young master?"

Zhong Lishui shrugged his shoulders. "You would be treated as a woman by him occasionally. I assume you are a capable subordinate?" Therefore, as his capable subordinate, I helped him save the life of another capable subordinate. "

Feng Qiong's eyes darkened, "Don't you think that my promise is too easy? Perhaps I will go back on my word? "

Zhongli Yuan gently shook his head: "You don't know how to. Even if you are to hesitate now, you will eventually figure it out. "

Feng Qiong was confused. "Why are you so sure?"

Zhong Li Spirit said indifferently: "I believe that young master has the guts to give you trust, and that I think I know you well enough after all the years we supported each other."

Feng Qiong smiled bitterly. "I can only say that I thank you."

Zhong Li Infant stood up and tidied up his messy dress: "Shadow asked palace scoundrel to deliver a letter to me. I've been preparing to go to the Puppet Palace for the next few days. The intelligence report of the West Lake Shop is almost ready. If you don't have any other plans, I'll bring a copy over. Also, leave the matter of the duke of Trojan Horse to me. If it's necessary, I'll stay for a period of time and not come back for now. "

Feng Qiong frowned, "Since the first choice is over, there are still a lot of things going on here. Can't you go back later?"

The Zhongli Infant said: "This is not difficult. Even if it's just me, I want to go to the West Lake. Once the Wen Family and the Bai Family express their attitudes, we will also have to secretly prepare for the construction of the new Xuan Hall. It would not be a bad thing for the Great Clan Master to return first. "

Feng Qiong muttered to herself before asking, "Then why did you bring the kite and the others with you? I'm afraid I don't have much time to take them along in business, so if it's convenient, I'll have to trouble you then? "

Zhongli Yuan nodded his head: "That's fine, we'll have to take care of it from the most basic of ways, it will take more time. The kite will be left for you, and I'll take the rest. "

Feng Qiong said somewhat tiredly, "Then that's it."

"One more thing." Before Zhong Li left, he suddenly turned his head, and the smile on his face dimmed a bit, "I can't keep those maids that can't control their mouths. Don't keep them." If it's inconvenient for you, I can help you deal with it. "

Feng Qiong was startled, "They are the pavilion master's maidservants, shouldn't I deal with them?"

Zhong Lizhu didn't say anything. He walked to the door and held it open, "The martial arts world is no longer peaceful. There are too many troubles. We can't leave any worms in there."

Feng Qiong rubbed her head, "Alright, I understand. "Since kun and his group have been brought out, it's time for Feng Yunxuan to change people. I'll take this opportunity to wash myself."

The Zhongli Infant said, "Then I'll be counting on you, Master Xuan." He lightly closed the door and silently left.

"Young Master, are we still going?" When the coachman saw that Bai Zhen had come out, he hurriedly asked.

Bai Zhen hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. "No, I'll head straight to the pier. I'll take the boat back." He jumped into the carriage and added, "Hurry, I'm in a hurry to get back."

The driver did not ask for the reason, but simply complied.

The unremarkable carriage arrived quickly and left quickly as well.

"Hao?" Zhao Qingyan watched as the horse carriage left. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Go."

Ran Hao was slightly startled: "Young master doesn't intend to ask about the news from the Manchu family?"

Zhao Qingyan took a sip of tea and leisurely said, "Since Master Bai is already working for me, why should I give you an extra fee for the information?" "If you have the information that I want, then go. You won't be out for long."

Ran Hao stood up and said: "Then I'll go."

Zhao Qingyan nodded, "There's no need to rush it. It's alright if I drink a few more cups of tea."

A flash of understanding appeared in Ran Hao's eyes as he responded, turned around and left quickly.

— —

"Young master, we can't …" Seeing that Ran Hao was about to enter, the two women who were tending to the branches at the entrance hurriedly warned him.

Ran Hao waved the order badge in his hand: Your Vice Sect Leader is inside, right? If I can't get in, could I please ask her to come out? "

The two of them looked at each other and felt blessed. "Young Master, please enter. The Vice Hall Master is at the west corridor." He moved to the side.

Ran Hao nodded: "Thank you." He quickly walked away.

A woman dressed in a long green dress was flipping through the books in front of a bookshelf. Most of them were put back after reading them, and from time to time, she would put a book under her feet.

Ran Hao stood at the door, raised his hand and knocked on the open door: "Zhong Li?"

Zhong Li turned around and asked, "Why are you here?"

Ran Hao did not answer her question, but went straight to the point: "Did you manage to find out what the Young Master wanted?"

Zhong Li nodded, and took out a palm-sized letter from his sleeve and handed it to him: "This is all the information I can find, there might be some that are missing."

Ran Hao took it and asked: "Why are you taking it with you?"

Zhong Li Bing was slightly startled, and took out at least ten more letters from his sleeve: "These are all encrypted. It is safer for me to bring them with me. I just returned today from a nearby branch Xuan, so I didn't have the time to put the letter away. "

Ran Hao moved his chin invisibly, showing that he understood, then turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait a moment." Seeing that he was about to leave, the infant Zhong Li quickly called out to him.

Ran Hao turned his body and looked at her.

Zhong Li said, "I will be going to the West Lake Division in a few days. If you need me, you can go there to find me."

Ran Hao did not have any reaction, after a while he turned around and looked at her: "Your Majesty is getting weaker and weaker, I'm afraid it will take at most a year." Once the court changes people, the martial arts world will be implicated. There was no news in the imperial court yet, but the news would soon spread. "Think carefully about what you should do."

Zhong Li Yuan hesitated for a moment and asked: "What does young master mean?"

Ran Hao shook his head: "I don't know what he means, go ask him yourself when you're free. Also, Young Master told me to tell you that, regardless of the outcome, the Qi King Manor's loss of power is already a foregone conclusion. He had made his plans before the chaos broke out in the martial arts world. Whether or not we can survive past these few years will depend on how much of an advantage we can get in the next few months. "

Zhong Li Yuan nodded and took note of his words.

"Also." Ran Hao's expression was still as indifferent as before, "Qing Shui, you would rather not leave, than to leave a traitor. In half a month's time, there would be an amnesty. The young master's intervention had already been completed. There were more people who could be accepted by Feng Yunxuan than expected. As long as these people can eat it, then there's no need to worry about Feng Yunxuan. "

Zhong Li bit his lips, "Do I need to report this to Young Master?"

Ran Hao said: "It doesn't matter, you decide it yourself. I've already said it, that's all. The young master would no longer care about anything after the marquis' manor was massacred. If there is no life or death matter, you should try not to enter the bridge again. "

Zhong Li lowered his eyes and replied, "Yes, Zhong Li understands the severity of this matter."

Ran Hao looked at all the information in the room and suddenly said: "Thanks for your trouble."

Zhong Li Bing looked up in surprise and laughed: "How could that be? "You haven't said you're tired, how would I dare to say it's hard?"

Ran Hao said, "I've never felt bitter."

Zhongli Yuan quickly said: "Me too."

Ran Hao was surprised by the resolution in her eyes, he nodded and said: "Then you can continue working, I will leave now."
