The waste prince is so fierce

Then Wu Tiande walked in the direction indicated by Zhang Yan and started searching bit by bit.

Zhang Yan followed behind Wu Tiande.

The two walked forward slowly, neither anxious nor impatient.

After an unknown amount of time, Wu Tiande's eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother, look! There is a restaurant ahead! Zhao Qian is most likely hiding in the restaurant!"

Zhang Yan looked in the direction of his finger and saw the restaurant. He nodded and said, "Let's go. Let's have a good meal today, then rest for the night and continue our search tomorrow morning."

They walked into the restaurant, ordered some food, and started enjoying it happily.

The shop was decorated in an antique style. The shop was full of diners and it was bustling. The shopkeeper was busy greeting customers.

Zhang Yan and Wu Tiande chose a seat near the window and sat down.

However, not long after they sat down, they suddenly saw Zhao Qian walking out of the restaurant.

The two looked at each other.

Zhang Yan's face changed slightly and he quietly pulled Wu Tiande's arm.

"Brother, what's the matter?"

Zhang Yan lowered his voice and said, "Zhao Qian seemed to have noticed us. After he came out, he quickly left the restaurant and headed northwest."

Wu Tiande was stunned. "He found us? Why did he leave?"

"Could it be that he discovered something unusual and was afraid of being discovered? So he fled in advance?"

"It's possible. He is just one person after all. He must be careful."

Zhang Yan nodded.

"In that case, let's hurry up and catch up with him. We must intercept him before he leaves the town."

Wu Tiande nodded, and the two of them hurriedly finished their meal and quickly left the restaurant.

They followed Zhao Qian all the way, following him slowly and at a moderate pace, while restraining their breath and not leaking any breath fluctuations.

......

The third watch.

Zhao Qian was already fifty miles away from Changzhou City.

At this time, he had changed his clothes and returned to his ordinary appearance. He glanced around to make sure no one was following him, then quickly headed northwest.

He was so fast that he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

......

At the same time, in a villa in Changzhou city.

This villa covers a large area, has an exquisite layout, beautiful scenery and an elegant style.

This is where the current tenth prince Li You lives.

Li You was tall and well-proportioned, handsome, fair-skinned, and elegant. Although he was young, he had already shown extraordinary talent and was deeply loved by his father, the emperor, and was even granted the title of Prince of Yu.

Yuzhou is the fief of Prince Yu, and the governor of Yuzhou is a first-rank official in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Youzheng was drinking from the teacup.

Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door.

"Who dares to disturb my lonely dream?" Li You frowned, with a hint of majesty in his tone.

"Your Highness, there is an assassin!" The guards' anxious report came from outside.

"what?"

Li You was startled and quickly got up and opened the door.

Outside the room, the four guards had gathered at the door. After seeing Li You, the guards knelt down and said, "Your Highness."

Li You looked serious: "What happened?"

A guard replied, "Your Highness, I was ordered to follow Zhao Qian. Last night, I sent eight men to follow Zhao Qian. The result... the result..."

Li You frowned: "What's the result?"

The guard bowed his head and replied, "In the end, Zhao Qian shook off his brothers and escaped alone."

Hearing this, Li You flew into a rage and slammed the table to pieces.

"Trash! A bunch of trash!"

"Your Highness, forgive me."

Everyone fell to the ground and begged for mercy.

Li You took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down: "How did you find out about Zhao Qian's whereabouts? Didn't he go to assassinate my ninth brother? Why is he back?"

The guard replied, "Your Highness, after Zhao Qian came out last night, he made a big circle around the south of the city before returning to the city. After returning to the east of the city, he went straight to Zuixian Tower and stayed there for a long time. Finally, he left Zuixian Tower after it was completely dark."

"Then, I personally led my secret sentries to investigate near Zuixian Tower. It turned out that Zhao Qian had never come out since he entered Zuixian Tower. I suspected that Zhao Qian was hiding in Zuixian Tower. So, I immediately returned to the government office to report. The Prime Minister then arranged for us to give chase."

Li You frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "Why did Zhao Qian go to Zuixianlou?"

The guard shook his head. "I don't know. I'm just guessing."

Li You sneered and said, "I didn't expect my ninth brother to be so powerful! Even Zhao Qian couldn't succeed. It seems I have to think of other ways."

"No. I have to go see my father-in-law right away."

"Come here, show off!"

......

After a cup of tea, Li You came to an extremely tall door plaque.

Letter to the Yue Mansion!

Li You stood by the threshold and looked up.

He looked at the door plaque with a sinister expression, snorted coldly, then turned and walked inside.

Li You walked into the main hall of Yue Mansion.

At this moment, in the main hall, an octogenarian was sitting with his back to him. To his right was a wide armchair.

The old man was wearing a dragon robe and a jade belt around his waist, and he looked dignified.

This person was Li You’s father-in-law, the current Grand Secretary—Yue Li.

Yue Li was of noble status and held a pivotal position in the court, while Li You also had some background.

The marriage between the two brought them into close relationship.

"The son-in-law greets his father-in-law." Li You said respectfully.

"Yeah." Yue Li turned around and replied calmly, "Stand up and talk."

Li You stood up slowly.

He looked around and asked, "Where's my mother-in-law?"

Yue Li said coldly: "She is not feeling well and has gone back to rest. What do you want to see her for?"

Li You nodded: "Father-in-law, I heard that Zhao Qian is back. Where is he? I want to kill him with my own hands to comfort the spirit of my deceased seventh uncle in heaven!"

Yue Li sighed and said quietly, "I wanted to kill him too. Unfortunately, he got away."

"What? He ran away?" Li You was shocked. "How could he, a commoner, escape from your clutches?"

Yue Li said bitterly: "I thought we could catch him. But who would have thought that this little thief's figure was so strange. He was like a ghost and it was impossible to catch his trace. We almost exhausted all our strength, but still couldn't stop him. In the end, he slipped away."

Li You was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Father-in-law, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. I always feel that things are not that simple."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Yue Li asked in surprise.

Li You said: "Zhao Qian's martial arts skills are mediocre. Logically, he can't be our opponent. But he actually escaped from your hands. This is too strange."

Yue Li frowned: "Could it be that there is a trick here?"
