The night enveloped the earth, and there was silence.

Yanyu Tower, the largest flower tower along the river, shines as brightly as day.

The melodious sound of stringed instruments mixed with the fragrance of rouge and powder and the aroma of wine filled the entire space.

Every corner here is filled with joy and desire, as if it is a luxurious dreamland isolated from worldly troubles.

Only the third floor seemed unusually deserted.

On the way up, Nan Mo asked Gou Zi to sense all the rooms on the third floor. Except for the room in front of her and Gong Chenyu, all the other rooms were empty.

Obviously this floor has been occupied.

A cold and murderous voice similar to Chu Yunzhou's was heard in the room, causing Gong Chenyu to frown. He subconsciously thought that the person inside was Chu Yunzhou.

Gouzi transmitted his voice: [Master, there are only two people in the room, a man and a woman, both of them know Kung Fu, but I sensed that the woman inside was poisoned, she should be Miss Lan Yue, the informant of the Imperial City Bureau.]

Nan Mo and Gong Chenyu looked at each other.

The next moment, Gong Chenyu kicked open the door of the wing room, and Nan Mo disappeared at the same time.

"Who is he? Looking for death!"

The man inside suddenly spoke, and at the same time a sharp sword flew towards the disguised Gong Chenyu.

However, before the sword got close, it was broken by Gong Chenyu's powerful true qi.

"Bangdang..."

As the two broken swords fell to the ground, a man in black clothes, black hair and a cold aura in the room suddenly looked up at the door.

His deep crane eyes were bloodshot, like flames all over the sky, emitting danger like the abyss. A low and cold voice came out from the man's thin lips, "Once you enter this door, don't even think about leaving alive."

"Snapped!"

The door of the compartment behind Gong Chenyu suddenly closed.

His calm peach blossom eyes glanced at a woman in the corner who was covered in bruises from being whipped.

Finally, his eyes fell on a man who looked almost exactly like Chu Yunzhou.

If he was not very familiar with Chu Yunzhou, he would have thought that the person in front of him was Chu Yunzhou.

His eyes darkened slightly, "Whether you can leave alive or not is not up to you."

The man opposite clearly noticed the terrifying murderous aura emanating from Gong Chenyu. He stared at him with a sinister and alert look, his eyes as cold as a thin blade.

"Then try it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man stood up and was about to draw his sword, but suddenly he remembered that the sword he had just thrown out had been broken.

Immediately, he waved his arm, and a dagger appeared in his hand. Just as the dagger was about to fly towards Gong Chenyu.

The man's pupils suddenly shrank and he slowly turned his head in disbelief.

At this time, Nan Mo, who was dressed as a nobleman, was looking at him with a smile. At the same time, he held a black dagger in his hand and stabbed it directly into the man's back without hesitation.

"puff……"

The man spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire face turned pale, and beads of sweat flowed down his forehead.

Nan Mo pulled out the dagger, and the man staggered to the ground, spitting blood wildly from his mouth while saying in shock and anger, "You...you...you poisoned me..."

Gong Chenyu walked up to Nan Mo and said, "Didn't I say that I would do it if anyone wanted to be killed?"

Although his words were questioning, they were filled with doting helplessness. He naturally took the dagger from Nan Mo's hand and wiped the blood stains off it.

Nan Mo laughed dryly, "I'm used to doing it myself."

After saying that, he walked to the side, stared at the man on the ground with his phoenix eyes, and said in a leisurely voice, "He really looks almost the same as Chu Yunzhou."

When the man on the ground heard the three words "Chu Yunzhou", a hint of surprise flashed across his crane eyes, and he suddenly looked up, "You... who are you?"

Nan Mo stood with her arms folded, her face calm, "Of course I belong to Granny Sun, but the Fifth Young Master seems to be very disappointing!"

The man's eyes were filled with shock and confusion. He climbed up by the stool beside him and sat against the wall, looking straight at me with his crane eyes. "You said you belonged to my mother-in-law. Do you have a token of love?"

"Who do you think you are? How dare you ask me for a token of my love!"

Before the man could come to his senses, Nan Mo suddenly shot a special silver needle with a red thread towards him. When the needle pierced the man's heart, his voice trembled with shock, "Red-tailed needle!"

Nan Mo's eyes darkened. It seemed that Granny Sun also had a special silver needle in her hand. She looked down at him and said, "It's good that I know you."

"Mother-in-law... Mother-in-law asked you to take my life?"

"If you fail to do your job well, you deserve to die!"

As soon as Nan Mo finished speaking, the man suddenly laughed at himself.

"Oh, it's a pity that a man who fails to do his job well should die."

He leaned against the wall and suddenly closed his eyes slowly, "Come on, since it's the order from mother-in-law, let's do it quickly."

Nan Mo raised an eyebrow, and the light in his eyes turned slightly, "Tell me everything you have on hand. From now on, I will take over everything, and you..."

“A death sentence can be avoided and a life sentence cannot be escaped.”

The sudden change made the man open his eyes instantly, "What do you mean?"

"My mother-in-law has ordered that because your efficiency in Jiangnan is too low, which directly affects major events, but considering your loyalty, you are all recalled and will be arranged separately."

"Really...really...really?" The man couldn't hide the joy in his eyes. After all, who would want to die when they can live!

"Does it make sense for me to lie to you? The poison in your body won't kill you, and the knife wound in your back won't be fatal, but you will definitely suffer physical pain. When you return, someone will help you get rid of the poison."

Nan Mo's eyes were firm and unquestionable.

Seeing that the man breathed a sigh of relief and believed in what he said, she looked at him for a moment and asked casually, "How far has it been done so far?"

The man looked up, but did not answer in a hurry. Instead, he glanced at Gong Chenyu and Lan Yue who was almost fainting in the corner.

"He is one of his own."

After saying that, Nan Mo waved towards Lan Yue and instantly fainted.

"Go ahead."

Gong Chenyu moved a chair over, and Nan Mo sat down casually and naturally, looking lazy and unrestrained.

Gong Chenyu stood quietly aside.

The man looked at Nan Mo for a long time and suddenly spoke, "It turns out that it is Grandma's most proud disciple, Saint Aunt, who has come to Jiangnan in person."

Gong Chenyu and Nan Mo both had a hint of surprise in their hearts, but their faces remained calm.

“How come you see?”

She still leaned back in her chair and slightly raised her eyelids.

The man calmed himself down and said, "I had the honor of meeting Saint Aunt from afar last year. At that time, you were wearing a moon-colored white dress, and you were sitting on the armchair casually and lazily just like now."

"Just by sitting... haha!"

Nan Mo didn't say the rest. The man hurriedly said, "As for this red-tailed needle, only the disciples taught by Grandma are qualified to use it. Considering the way Saint Lady is sitting, I guess that your outfit is a disguise."

Nan Mo tapped her fingers on the table next to her, her eyes deep and unfathomable. "People, sometimes being too smart is not necessarily a good thing."

This meaningful sentence made the man's heart tremble instantly, and at the same time, his ears buzzed like tinnitus, which disappeared in a flash.

He did not think much about it. He just felt that the person in front of him was the Saint Lady. It was he who got carried away by his success and exposed the Saint Lady's elaborate disguise.

If others knew that the Saint Lady of the Southern Barbarians appeared in Jiangnan, who knows what kind of disturbance would be caused.

The man lowered his head hastily, "I hope the Holy Saint... I hope the Young Master will forgive me, I was too careless at the time..."

"Okay, I won't do this next time."

Nan Mo and Gong Chenyu looked at each other, and they both came to the same conclusion, that is, the power that Granny Sun had built in Nanman should not be underestimated, and she had many capable men under her command.
