The True Lord has arrived

Chapter 70 Agreement
The Pei family attacked Li Zhenyue and further besieged Zhou Yan.

One reason is that Black Wind is an ordinary, innocent spirit.

However, he was clearly a Kyushu Inspector under the command of the Azure Netherworld Monarch.

By exposing this matter, at least this boomerang will hit the Pei family themselves; the more ruthless and reckless the Pei family is in attacking Li Zhenyue and implicating Shen Cangming and Zhou Yan, the more painful this boomerang will be!

Moreover, if we add the fact that the Shuofang Army besieged Qingming Market but the market disappeared, there will definitely be a lot of trouble behind this.

This is no longer a boomerang.

This is like stabbing the enemy in the heart. The Pei family is very powerful, but their opponents are also very powerful. Zhou Yan felt that this was like playing a game. Now that things have come to this point, you just need to initiate the battle, and there will be plenty of people to follow up.

Especially after discussing the situation with Li Zhiwei, he felt even more confident.

"Regardless of who it was that secretly told the Qingmingfangzhu about the monster."

"This mess will be directly pinned on the Pei family's heads."

Zhou Yan's lips twitched. The young swordsman's face held a smile that was not so chivalrous or upright. If he could, he really wanted to stomp on Pei Xuanbao and the Pei family's faces.

Being chased is really annoying.

Li Zhiwei blinked and saw the emotion in Zhou Yan's eyes.

She wanted to build a good relationship with Zhou Yan so that she could ask him to help her find her mother, so she was willing to help him further in this matter.

utilitarian?

Don't joke around. A relationship where interests and even life and death are intertwined is the most reliable.

Although this would likely lead her to take further risks.

But, Mother…

Li Zhiwei took a small breath, suppressing her fear. She felt as if she were dancing on a tightrope with Zhou Yan, each step treading on taboos that no ordinary royal princess would dare to touch.

As a result, her heart rate increased slightly.

It seems that the daughters of the Li family all have a rebellious tradition.

Despite her petite stature, Miss Li possesses extraordinary courage.

She said, "Revealing this matter is tantamount to handing the sword hilt to Lord Guo. At that time, the Pei family will be too busy to take care of themselves and won't have time to mobilize such a large force to hunt you down."

"Therefore, the Shuofang Army will inevitably enter a phase of internal purges."

“It’s not just the Pei family, even the Guo family’s lineage will be drawn to this.”

"At that time, you will be able to escape the Shuofang Army's current sight."

"Correspondingly, Qingming Fangzhu will also face pressure from the Tang Dynasty and will inevitably go into hiding, making you safer."

Li Zhiwei thought for a moment and said, "The only problem is how to tell this information to Lord Guo. Speaking recklessly might have the opposite effect."

Zhou Yan said, "How about a dream?"

Li Zhiwei said, "To appear in my dream? That's possible."

"The royal family also possesses similar spiritual objects that can display scenes from dreams, but it's best to have some evidence... In that case, do the items from Misty Peak still exist?"

Zhou Yan said, "Yes."

Li Zhiwei clapped her hands and said, "Then I know what to do."

The girl reviewed the plan in her mind and said, "Leave these to me. I will definitely help you complete this step. Also, is there anything else you need my help with? After all, I am in Chang'an City, while you are still wandering outside."

Zhou Yan felt a little embarrassed.

However, he and Shen Cangming were currently adrift outside, and their intelligence capabilities were far inferior to Li Zhiwei's. After hesitating for a moment, he still solemnly asked, "If possible, I would like to ask you to help me sort out Uncle Shen's past."

"Also, information about the two great demons, Qingmingfangzhu and Zhiniang."

"They all want the [Kunlun Relics], what is that?"

Li Zhiwei carefully wrote them down and said, "Okay, I'll take care of these."

Zhou Yan let out a breath, feeling a little embarrassed by the help he received. He took the initiative to say, "In the last dream, you said you wanted me to help you find your mother?"

Li Zhiwei froze, her heart racing slightly.

She didn't expect Zhou Yan to say that.

She looked at Zhou Yan, slowly nodded, and said, "Yes, my mother has disappeared in Dongdu. I hope you can help me find her, or at least inquire about her a little. If it's not suitable..."

Looking at her, Zhou Yan could sense that everything Li Zhiwei did was in an attempt to gain his trust and get his help. Li Zhiwei had already helped with the imperial edict, and now she wanted to help deal with the pursuers from the rear.

How can you expect the other person to give while you only receive help?
Between friends, there should be give and take.

He looked at Li Zhiwei and said:
"If I can make it to the vicinity of Dongdu alive, Zhou Yan will definitely do everything in his power."

Li Zhiwei was stunned for a long time.

Then his lips paused, and a fragile smile appeared unconsciously on his face.

Her smile was subtle, yet unlike any of her previous smiles.

It seems like every smile I gave before was just an act.

This genuine smile was exceptionally beautiful.

Zhou Yan said, "But you have to tell me how to find your mother, and once you find her, how to gain her trust?" Li Zhiwei said softly, "The ring I gave you was given to me by my mother."

"The ring you hold is a token of your love..."

She took a deep breath. In this dream, a scene unfolded: a city engulfed in flames, and a beautiful, gentle woman forcefully pushed Li Zhiwei away, saying, "Go, go!"

"Go to Chang'an and survive."

"Let's go..."

The image quickly faded away, because Li Zhiwei could no longer maintain this dream.

But the despair and pain from those memories were clearly conveyed.

His father abandoned him and his mother, and after he survived, his mother was abandoned.

This is a pain that cannot be contemplated in detail.

Li Zhiwei pursed her lips, exhaling to control the stinging feeling in her nose, and said, "I don't believe my mother has passed away, but I can't leave Chang'an right now. I hope you can help me find her."

"This is my only request."

Her father, the Prince of Guangping, only had ambition in his eyes.

The young swordsman before her was Li Zhiwei's only hope. She disregarded the risks of helping Zhou Yan, hoping only to gain his trust. An alliance with both danger and benefit was more reliable.

she thought.

This aligns with the royal family's wishes.

The girl sat there, surrounded by swirling clouds, as if they were enveloping her in shadow and palace walls. All her emotions, expressions, and outward manifestations were meant to protect her own walls.

Then I saw a hand gently extended towards me, and the clouds dispersed.

Zhou Yan said, "Then, everything goes smoothly."

"Pleasant to work with."

Li Zhiwei paused for two breaths, then carefully extended her small hand and clasped it with Zhou Yan's. Her expression softened, and she solemnly said, "Please leave this to me. I will do my best."

"Ah, right."

Li Zhiwei thought of something and asked, "Are you short of money while you're out here?"

Zhou Yan replied instinctively, "No, we don't need any!"

Li Zhiwei tilted her head: "Really?"

"Our Great Tang Dynasty has flying money. I deposit it in Chang'an City, and you can withdraw it from other places as long as you give the correct password."

So, the carefree, spirited young swordsman fell silent for a moment, thinking of how he had been reduced to fighting with Big Black for bean cakes. He opened his mouth, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly:

"...Then, can I borrow some?"

"I'll write you an IOU!"

Li Zhiwei was finally amused.

He laughed so hard tears were almost coming out: "You, you, okay."

"I'll lend it to you."

"I don't need you to pay me back with money."

Li Zhiwei looked at Zhou Yan and, mimicking the manners of women in the palace, smiled softly and said, "As long as you eat well and take good care of yourself, that's all that matters. Please grant me this request, okay?"

Zhou Yan looked at Li Zhiwei and chopped the girl on the head with a chop.

Li Zhiwei subconsciously shrank her neck.

Like a startled bird.

"Why does the tea smell so strong?"

Zhou Yan muttered to himself, then laughed:

"You are the one who should take good care of yourself in the palace."

He is a person who treats everyone equally.

Li Zhi smiled and said, "I am in Chang'an, and I am the daughter of the Prince of Guangping. Why would I need to be taken care of?"

Zhou Yan said, "It is indeed in Chang'an City."

"You need to take better care of yourself."

Li Zhiwei's smile paused slightly.

The swordsman stood up and waved his hand: "That's about enough. I feel like I really want to wake up, Li Zhiwei—"

He smiled and said, "See you next time."

The dream slowly unfolded.

Li Zhiwei blinked and lay down on the bed.

Zhou Yan opened his eyes and saw the extinguished campfire. He felt the pulse of the earth. Then, his gaze moved and fell on the long sword. With a thought, the sword intent that the old man had taught him in his dream was instantly unleashed.

Sword, rise!
