Adhere to the gentleman's principles

In the Prince's Mansion, Zhao Junning leaned his arm against the table in the room, thinking. Zhao Junning said to himself, "When did the Emperor know that I knew Kung Fu? If he had known, how could he not punish me according to the Emperor's temper? The Emperor was so determined not to let me practice martial arts, he could have just let me lose my martial arts. Strange, so strange!

Given Grandpa Huang's temper, if he knew about this, he would be furious and lock me up. How could he simply waste his energy in exchange for not wanting to marry? And where did Grandpa Huang get the energy-reducing pill? Did Lu Wu give it to him? But Grandpa Huang doesn't know Lu Wu! Brother Zhuo Yuan?"

Fuling stood aside and thought: The princess has been in a daze for so long, she must be sad because of her lack of kung fu! She is really irritated by talking to herself! Zhao Junning said: "What a good plan, they are afraid of Li Ziyan and want to use me to hold him back."

The next day, Zhao Junning, Yuan Xinghui and Wang Ningyi were drinking in a private room at Yuchun Restaurant. Wang Ningyi asked, "Do you think the thief will come?" Zhao Junning nodded, "Yes. Let Wen He help us get the information. This is the private room that we often come to. It's not easy for us to book it." Wang Ningyi stopped talking and looked at Yuan Xinghui. Yuan Xinghui patted Wang Ningyi's hand and said, "Let's wait!"

As expected, the store owner knocked on the door. Zhao Junning went to open the door. Yuan Xinghui and Wang Ningyi followed behind Zhao Junning. After opening the door, the store clerk and the thief Zhou Aoyang were standing at the door. Zhou Aoyang saw Zhao Junning and shouted "Fuck!" and ran away. Yuan Xinghui hid aside and Xu Wenhe chased after him. Zhao Junning and Wang Ningyi sat back in the private room. Zhao Junning said to the clerk and the store owner, "Okay, you guys go back. There will be something you shouldn't see later."

The shopkeeper said cautiously, "Sir, please don't smash my shop. The boss knows that we will be in trouble." Zhao Junning said, "Don't worry." Zhou Aoyang couldn't run faster than the two men and was chased back. Xu Wenhe took him to the box and said to Zhao Junning, "You interrogate me and I will help you keep an eye on me."

"Zhou Aoyang? Right?" Zhao Junning asked. Zhou Aoyang turned his head away and ignored Zhao Junning. Zhao Junning smiled: "You don't have to be angry. In fact, it's not easy for us to find you. Why don't we both take a step back and hand over the stolen things and I'll give you what you want, such as money?" Zhou Aoyang turned his head away and still didn't listen. Zhao Junning said: "I know you, Jianghu Feizhe has become Mr. Miaoshou. You also do things for money, but you should look at who I am and consider whether to change to a rich man?" Zhao Junning took out his mask. Zhou Aoyang saw the mask: "Qingshuang?" Zhao Junning nodded. Zhou Aoyang laughed and said: "You are Qingshuang, so I am her grandfather."

Zhao Junning stood up angrily: "Don't I look like Qingshuang?" Zhou Aoyang stopped laughing: "Yes, I look like Qingshuang, just like you two are both women." Zhao Junning took a deep breath and said: "I am Qingshuang." Zhou Aoyang said: "Look at your body, you are so thin and weak that you will fall down if the wind blows. Although Qingshuang is also thin, she is definitely stronger than you. You look like a princess who grew up in honey. I advise you to let me go. Qingshuang doesn't like others pretending to be her." Zhao Junning said after hearing this: "You don't believe it? Well, I will make you believe it now."

After he finished speaking, he struck out with his palm, and a palm print appeared on the wall behind Zhou Aoyang! Yuan Xinghui, Wang Ningyi and Zhou Aoyang were all shocked. Zhou Aoyang's voice trembled: "You...you are really Qingshuang?" Zhao Junning said: "Could it be fake?" Zhou Aoyang admitted his mistake: "Lady, please spare my life!"

Zhao Junning nodded in satisfaction, thinking: Fortunately, I am smart. He said: "Okay, okay, no need to be polite, since you know who I am, then?" Zhou Aoyang thought again and again and said: "But me!" Zhao Junning said: "I know, you get paid for your work! But think carefully, is there more benefit in cooperating with me or with your buyer?"

Xifeng Restaurant, Qin Zhuoyuan followed Mo Yu into Xifeng Restaurant, "Master Qin? Why is Master Qin here?" Li Ziyan asked behind him. Qin Zhuoyuan turned around and saluted, "Xifeng Restaurant, the dishes are rich, I came here to try them." Li Ziyan said, "Me too, why don't we join?" The two went up to the second floor and entered the private room. Li Ziyan looked at Qin Zhuoyuan's folding fan and said, "Master Qin's folding fan is really unique." Qin Zhuoyuan retracted the folding fan slightly and said, "It's just a folding fan. Ordinary and beautiful ones are all folding fans, so I might as well choose a beautiful one."

After hearing this, Li Ziyan said, "Mr. Qin is right." Then he said, "Recently, Princess Jun Ning's martial arts were wasted. How did His Majesty know about this? And how did he get this martial arts pill? I heard that this pill was developed by the Herbal Medicine Fairy. Who can get such a precious medicine?" Qin Zhuoyuan smiled and said, "Why is Young Marquis Li so concerned about this matter?"

Li Ziyan said: "It's very simple! I'm worried about her! I have a problem. If someone touches something related to me that I shouldn't touch, or touches someone that I shouldn't touch, I like to check it out!"

Qin Zhuoyuan asked, "Does the young marquis have any clues?" Li Ziyan nodded, "Almost!" Then he poured wine for Qin Zhuoyuan and said, "Well, it's not right to talk about these things when having a meal with Master Qin. I'll punish myself with a glass of wine." Qin Zhuoyuan looked at Li Ziyan and nodded, picked up the wine glass and drank it. For Li Ziyan, he was the least threatened. If someone threatened him with someone or something important to him, he would crush the person who threatened him. Then Li Ziyan said, "Hey, I wonder if Master Qin can play dice?" Qin Zhuoyuan was stunned and said, "I don't know these."

Li Ziyan said, "That's strange. I saw Master Qin entering a gambling house on the street that day." Qin Zhuoyuan looked at Li Ziyan and said, "Maybe you saw it wrong." Li Ziyan nodded and said, "Is that so? But if Master Qin wants to learn, I can teach you."

Qin Zhuoyuan thought: What on earth is Li Ziyan trying to do? I am getting more and more confused about him! Li Ziyan then said, "How do you think the traitors should be executed?" Qin Zhuoyuan said, "I don't know how to answer this question." After hearing this, Li Ziyan said, "That's right. After all, although Mr. Qin knows kung fu, he still focuses on reading. I am rude!"

Qin Zhuoyuan said, "It's okay." After the two of them walked out of the restaurant, a servant walked up to Qin Zhuoyuan and whispered, "Sir, Zhou Aoyang will not cooperate with us anymore. And Master Lu said he has something important to discuss with you." Qin Zhuoyuan was angry after hearing this: "What? Forget it! Where is he?"

The attendant said, "Young master, follow me." Qin Zhuoyuan saluted to Li Ziyan and said, "Young Marquis Li, I have important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first." Li Ziyan folded his hands across his chest when he saw Qin Zhuoyuan leaving in a hurry and said, "It seems that Jun Ning succeeded!" Mo Yu ran over and said, "Oh no, Zhou Aoyang and Captain Xu are fighting." After hearing this, Li Ziyan hurried to Yuchun Restaurant.

In Yuchun Restaurant, after Zhao Junning took back the stone seal, Zhou Aoyang went back to the private room after spreading the news of non-cooperation. He turned slightly and found that the palm print on the wall was not right. He walked closer and touched it: "Flour?" He turned his head to look at Zhao Junning: "When did I lie to you?" Zhou Aoyang was very angry: "You don't know kung fu, you just use this trick to deceive me." As he said that, he swung the whip at his waist, and Yuan Xinghui started to fight, but Yuan Xinghui was no match for Zhou Aoyang. Xu Wenhe ran into the private room and quickly restrained Zhou Aoyang and said: "You hit a woman?" Zhou Aoyang said: "I don't fight with women, but she lied to me."

Then Zhou Aoyang struggled to break free from Xu Wenhe's restraints. At this moment, Li Ziyan rushed to Zhao Junning and checked back and forth: "Are you okay? Are you injured?" Zhao Junning shook her head: "No, I won't get hurt with them around." Then Li Ziyan glanced at Zhou Aoyang and waved his hand. After Mo Yu closed the door, Li Ziyan looked at Zhou Aoyang and asked: "Zhou Aoyang, right?"

Zhou Aoyang said unconvincedly: "It's me." Li Ziyan sneered: "You are young, but you have a bad temper. I am Jiang Ziling." Zhou Aoyang said: "You are Jiang Ziling? Then I am Jiang Ziling's grandfather!" Zhao Junning smiled and said: "He really is, don't provoke him." Li Ziyan asked: "You don't believe it?" Zhou Aoyang said: "I don't believe it, you are all liars."

After hearing this, Li Ziyan struck out with his palm, and a palm print appeared on the wall behind Zhou Aoyang. Zhou Aoyang laughed: "It's the same move again." He walked over and touched it, saying: "Your move is too... Wait, this force... The wall is fine on the outside." He scratched the wall lightly, and the inside was already broken into pieces. He turned around and walked to a certain distance from where Li Ziyan was standing: "Are you really Jiang Ziling?"

Li Ziyan nodded, and Mo Yu said, "How could our master lie to you? Fortunately, you didn't hurt Qingshuang behind him." Zhou Aoyang looked behind Li Ziyan and said, "She is Qingshuang? But what about her kung fu?"

Zhao Junning forced a smile: "This is a long story." Zhou Aoyang said: "What can't be said? Since we have reached a cooperation, we are friends." Yuan Xinghui said: "Of course I can't say it. How can I trust you when we just started cooperation." Zhou Aoyang said after hearing this: "Don't worry about this. I, Zhou Aoyang, admire you two the most and want to be friends with you two."

Zhao Junning said, "Okay, it's not a big secret. My Kung Fu is useless!" Several people sat around the table. Zhou Aoyang was stunned after hearing this: "Waste? I haven't seen your Fengming Xiaotian yet! What a pity." Wang Ningyi looked at him sideways: "Don't say it." Zhou Aoyang bowed after hearing this: "Sorry, it's just because your Kung Fu is too powerful. I haven't experienced it yet and I didn't expect it."

Li Ziyan asked, "What did you not expect?" Several people stared at Zhou Aoyang, and Zhou Aoyang said, "I didn't expect Qingshuang to be the princess of my Bian State, and she is so beautiful. I wonder if you are married. Although I am not as capable as you, I have money."

Xu Wenhe sneered after hearing this, Yuan Xinghui and Wang Ningyi covered their mouths and laughed secretly, Zhao Junning smiled lightly, and Li Ziyan said after hearing this: "He is unmarried, but I will marry her, so forget it." Zhou Aoyang said: "Then you are still unmarried, right? I still have a chance, don't you, Princess?" Li Ziyan said: "What chance? You have no chance."

Then Zhao Junning patted Li Ziyan and said, "Okay, okay, let's ask some serious questions." Li Ziyan shut up obediently and moved the stool gently towards Zhao Junning. Zhao Junning looked at Zhou Aoyang and asked, "Hero Zhou." Zhou Aoyang said, "I'm older than you, so call me Brother Zhou or Aoyang or my full name." Zhao Junning said, "Brother Zhou, have you ever seen or known the person who asked you to steal the stone seal?"

Zhou Aoyang said: "No, they covered their faces and just said that their master needed the stone seal. I asked in detail, and they just said that it was to open the underground palace and didn't say anything else." Zhao Junning looked at Li Ziyan and asked: "What do you think?" Li Ziyan said: "The stone seal is the key to open the underground palace. There are old things in it from the previous dynasty. What do they need the old things from the previous dynasty? It has been ninety years since the previous dynasty."

Zhao Junning said, "Yes!" Zhou Aoyang said, "I don't know, but you royal family members are really strange. I heard that the emperor is going to die. I'm afraid the country's name will be changed again!" Zhao Junning said, "You are talking nonsense. My royal grandfather is in good health." Zhou Aoyang laughed and said, "Look at you, your royal grandfather has forced you to waste your kung fu, why are you still so filial?" Yuan Xinghui said, "You should say less." Zhou Aoyang said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, be prepared." Li Ziyan said, "Thank you."

After they walked out of the restaurant, Zhou Aoyang bowed and said, "I'm leaving first. If you need me for something, just go to the alley behind the Panyue Tower in the east of the city. There is a big locust tree nearby. My residence is directly opposite the big locust tree. Goodbye." After Zhou Aoyang left, Yuan Xinghui said, "It's getting late. I'll go back first. I hope that Master Li can send Jun Ning home safely." Wang Ningyi said, "Xinghui, I'll go back with you. We're on the same way."

Xu Wenhe said, "I'll take you there. Ziyan, I'm leaving first. If you have anything to say, send me a message." Li Ziyan nodded. Li Ziyan said, "Let's go too." Mo Yu drove the carriage over. After getting on the carriage, Li Ziyan asked, "Where's Fuling? Why isn't she with us today?" Zhao Junning said, "I asked Fuling to do something. She should be back now!" Li Ziyan nodded after hearing this. Zhao Junning said, "I asked Fuling to help me look up a picture."

Li Ziyan asked, "What map?" Zhao Junning said, "That day I went to Brother Zhuoyuan's house and saw his chess game was very strange, so I wrote it down. Last night I had nothing to do so I drew it out and found that it was a map." Li Ziyan said, "So you asked Fuling to go to the black market to find the know-it-all Xu Zhi to see if he could find this map?"

Zhao Junning smiled and said, "Smart." Then he said, "I find that you are getting better and better now!" Li Ziyan raised his head and said, "That's right, how about it? Do you like me more and more?" Zhao Junning said, "Narcissistic." Li Ziyan approached Zhao Junning, hugged her waist, and whispered in Zhao Junning's ear, "Do you like me like this?" Zhao Junning said, "Meng Lang."

"Sir, we've arrived at the Prince's Mansion." Mo Yu, who was driving the carriage, said outside. When Zhao Junning was about to leave after hearing this, Li Ziyan pulled Zhao Junning back and said, "I'll tell my parents to marry you when I get home." Zhao Junning nodded gently, "Yes." Then Li Ziyan walked out, got off the carriage and helped Zhao Junning get off. Fuling was waiting at the door and came forward after seeing Zhao Junning get off the carriage. Zhao Junning turned around and looked at Li Ziyan, "I'm going in." Li Ziyan nodded, "Yes."

After Fuling helped Zhao Junning into the Prince's Mansion, Li Ziyan followed Zhao Junning's figure with his eyes until he could no longer see her. Mo Yu said, "Sir, the princess has gone in. Let's go back!" Li Ziyan said, "You go back first." Mo Yu said, "Huh? You're not going back?" Li Ziyan said, "If Zhou Aoyang doesn't cooperate with the people behind the scenes, those people will definitely go to trouble him. You go back first, I'll go home later." Mo Yu said, "Okay."
