Xiang Nan chased the sparrow all the way to a large house on the west side of Tongque Lane.
The plaque on the gate is "Yue Ying Ju".
Xiang Nan knew that this was the residence where his mother-in-law Sun Tianfeng lived.
In order to succeed in the rebellion, King Zhu Rui of Yun specially recruited a group of hermit masters with high martial arts skills from the rivers and lakes.
Among them are Sun Tianfeng, Gui Ying'er, Baifa Sanqianzhang, etc.
Sun Tianfeng, as Sun Baifa's younger sister, naturally has extremely high martial arts skills, and is good at using the vicious and domineering Wind and Thunder Palm. The power of the palm is so cold that it can freeze everything.
White Hair Sanqianzhang's martial arts was so high that she was frozen by her wind and thunder palm.
Ghost Ying'er is also a swordsman who has been famous for decades. The ghost sword technique he practices is extremely evil. It relies on human blood to nourish the sword. The more people kill, the more evil the sword technique becomes.
A Fei and Shangguan Fei's swordsmanship are as high as that of him, but they are no match for him. This shows how powerful he is.
Zhu Rui had such a group of masters to help him, and his rebellion was almost half successful.
…
Xiang Nan then returned to the inn.
“Master Li, do you have any new clues?” Sun Xiaohong saw him coming back and hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
“Sparrow took me to Yueyingju on the west side of Tongque Lane, where this group of unknown masters is stationed. The leader is called [Mother-in-law].” Xiang Nan introduced.
“Urge my mother-in-law?!” When Sun Baifa heard this, his face suddenly froze.
“Grandpa, do you know this person?” Sun Xiaohong asked quickly.
“No, I don’t know, I’ve never heard of it.” Sun Baifa quickly denied it.
But Sun Xiaohong was so smart that she could tell at a glance that he didn't mean what he said, and immediately said, "Grandpa, if you know, just tell Hero Li and don't make any charades."
"Miss Xiaohong, since Senior Sun didn't say anything, he must have concerns, so don't force him anymore. I can find out sooner or later by myself." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "I'm just curious, white-haired Sanqianzhang's martial arts has reached its peak, so why is she still recruiting a group of martial arts masters? Does she want to cause trouble in the martial arts world and become the leader of the martial arts alliance, or does she have other plots? We have to be on guard."
“Master Li, you are right.” Sun Xiaohong nodded.
With his extraordinary martial arts skills that are three thousand feet tall, he is probably unmatched in the martial arts world. But she still networked with a group of experts, which shows that her plot must be trivial.
"Furthermore, Fairy Jinghong is also very suspicious. She persuaded the Jin Yiwei to retreat last night, and today she warned Shangguan Fei. It seems that relying solely on the protection of the powerful Jianghu forces with gray hair is not enough to make her act so arrogantly." Xiang Nan added.
"Yes, she warned Shangguan Fei, saying, 'This is the foot of the emperor, not the path of the rivers and lakes.' She clearly used the tone of the imperial court." Sun Xiaohong nodded.
"So I suspect that these people are all taking orders from a great big shot in the court." Xiang Nan immediately made a judgment, "Fairy Jinghong has such a person as her backer, so she can order the Jinyi Guards and threaten the Money Gang."
“Well, that makes sense.” Sun Xiaohong agreed.
"And for such an incredible big shot, he has gathered together a group of masters in the world, and even a demon who has been hiding from the world for decades, plus two million and a half million taels of silver... His plot must be trivial." Xiang Nan added. , "This time, I'm afraid we are involved in a cruel political struggle."
“Political struggle?” When Sun Xiaohong heard this, she couldn’t help but look stern.
"Yes, this is the only way to explain this person's motives." Xiang Nan nodded, and then said to Sun Baifa, "Senior Sun, take Miss Xiaohong out of the capital quickly and don't come back."
“Master Li, what about you?” Sun Xiaohong became anxious upon hearing this.
"Since I accepted the Empress Dowager's trust, I can't give up halfway. I have to find the golden consort. I want to see the person in life, and I want to see the body in death." Xiang Nan explained.
“Then I’ll stay with you.” Sun Xiaohong immediately decided.
"Three Thousand Zhang White Hair, Mother-in-Law, Jinghong Fairy...I'm afraid none of them are inferior to me in martial arts." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "I'm afraid it will be too dangerous for you to continue to stay in the capital, and it will be difficult for me to protect you. comprehensive."
Seeing this, Xiang Nan let out a long sigh, "How can I, Li Xunhuan, be worthy of your love?" "It doesn't matter, everything I do is worth it for you." Sun Xiaohong said.
“Xiaohong~” Xiang Nan couldn’t help but hold her in his arms when he saw this.
Sun Xiaohong was also excited, and her face suddenly turned red with embarrassment. She was as gorgeous as a peach and a plum, and she was even more beautiful than before.
“Hmm~” Sun Baifa couldn’t help but coughed dryly.
The two of them reluctantly separated.
…
“Brother Li, what are you going to do next?” Sun Xiaohong asked.
"I will keep an eye on Fairy Jinghong, Mother-in-Law, and the group of people with three thousand feet of gray hair to see who is standing behind them." Xiang Nan replied, "They have such a big plot and there are so many people. We will definitely keep in touch at all times. As long as we keep an eye on them, we will definitely find clues."
“Yeah.” Sun Xiaohong nodded.
Xiang Nan then sent out many sparrows, swallows, pigeons, etc. to help him detect the news.
"Such a strange skill is really miraculous. Xiao Li's flying knife is really powerful." Seeing Xiang Nan's skill of "gathering beasts and regulating birds", Sun Baifa said in admiration.
“That’s a compliment, old man.” Xiang Nan cupped his hands and said with a smile.
This magical skill is indeed amazing. After all, it is recorded in the "Book of Heaven", so it is certainly extraordinary.
At this moment, I heard a knock on the door.
Sun Xiaohong walked over and opened the door, only to see it was the maid of Fairy Jinghong.
“Brother, Fairy Jinghong invites you to play chess together in the evening.” Sun Xiaohong then told Xiang Nandao.
“Tell the fairy for me that I gladly accept the invitation.” Xiang Nan nodded.
“Brother, what do you think Fairy Jinghong is going to do?” Sun Xiaohong asked curiously.
"I can't guess it yet." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, you'll find out when you get there."
Sun Xiaohong nodded.
…
In the evening, after dinner, Xiang Nan was invited to go to the room at No. 1, South Chamber.
"Li Tanhua really kept her promise." Fairy Jinghong saw him arriving and greeted him with a smile.
“How dare I disobey the fairy’s invitation?” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
“Please.” Fairy Jinghong ordered someone to put the chessboard on, and then said.
"Playing chess is no fun, how about betting on something and counting the winnings?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.
“Okay, what do you want to bet on, Master Li?” Fairy Jinghong asked with a smile.
"If I win, you have to answer me a question; if you win, you can ask me to do one thing. As long as it does not violate chivalry, I will go through fire and water for you, how about it?" Xiang Nan thought for a while and said.
"I'm sorry, I never answer questions." Fairy Jinghong waved her hand and said, "Please change your bet."
"It doesn't matter, I might as well try another way." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "If I win you, I will tell you my problem. If you tell me to shut up in the middle, it means I was wrong. If, you If you listen quietly to what I have to say, it means I am right.
In this way, I get the answer I want, but you don't answer the question, because you never answer the question, how about it? "
“Li Tanhua, you are really smart.” Fairy Jinghong said in surprise, “Okay, that’s it.”
