Dark Moon Enchantress and her group finally entered Nanyi City smoothly.

After entering the city, Dark Moon Fairy was shocked by the scene before her. The prosperity here was no less than that of Shangjing City, with busy streets full of cars and people coming and going.

Everyone felt a sense of familiarity, as if they had returned to the familiar Shangjing City. But soon they discovered that there were many people hiding in the dark in the city, and these should be Xiao Jingyi's men. So they did not dare to relax at all.

They searched in the city and finally found an inconspicuous Yunlai Inn. This inn looked ordinary and suitable for their identity as dancers.

Dark Moon Fairy decided to stay here. Jia Zhi strode forward and said to the innkeeper proudly, "I want ten good rooms!"

However, Jia Xiong on the side glared at him and angrily scolded: "You spendthrift! Boss, we only need three ordinary guest rooms!"

The innkeeper stared in surprise, looking at these dozens of charming dancers, muttering in his heart: This dancing boss is too stingy!

The innkeeper couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Sir, you only need these three rooms, but they can't accommodate so many people!"

Jia Xiong frowned and said helplessly, "Five shops then. It's not easy to make money in this world. I have to feed so many mouths, and I have to pay for their rouge and powder! Boss, I want to ask you something. Where is the most profitable place in Nanyi City?"

The innkeeper smiled and replied enthusiastically, "Marshal Xiao's birthday will be in three days. If you can win the first prize by dancing at his birthday party and become famous, then you will have no worries about not being able to make money in Nanyi. If any of the sisters here is noticed by a noble, you will be like a phoenix flying up a tree!"

Jia Xiong's face was full of gratitude. He clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you, boss! I'm Jia Xiong. I have no choice but to bring a group of dancers to your precious place just to make a living. As I don't know Marshal Xiao's preferences, I hope you can give me some advice and pointers." After saying that, he carefully took out a golden bean and gently placed it on the counter.

The innkeeper was delighted when he saw this, and said enthusiastically, "Sir, please come into the private room and take a seat. I will tell you everything I know about Marshal Xiao."

He turned around and shouted to the waiter, "Hurry up and serve some food and wine to the guests!" The waiter acted immediately and quickly brought the exquisite food and wine to the table, and put two jars of wine on it. Then he stepped out and gently closed the door.

The innkeeper smiled and said to Jia Xiong softly, "Boss Jia, you don't know that Marshal Xiao is not an ordinary lecher. I think your group of dancers may not be pleasing to him..."

Jia Xiong's face was full of worry and his brows were furrowed, as if he had encountered a huge dilemma. He said anxiously, "What should I do?" His voice was full of helplessness and frustration.

Upon seeing this, the innkeeper quickly picked up the wine jug, filled Jia Xiong's glass, and consoled him, "Boss Jia, don't worry, don't worry. Can these dancers of yours sing? Marshal Xiao's father-in-law and mother-in-law love watching opera the most." There was a hint of concern in the boss' tone.

A happy smile instantly appeared on Jia Xiong's face. His eyes sparkled and he said excitedly: "Singing opera is the specialty of my dancers! However, I want to ask one more thing. The general guarding the city treated my dancer well... I wonder why Marshal Xiao wanted to use this person?" Jia Xiong's voice revealed confusion and worry.

The innkeeper picked up the wine glass and drank it all. His expression became angry and he said indignantly: "That general is the younger brother of Marshal Xiao's wife. Marshal Xiao is a henpecked man... Alas! Let's not talk about it! In any case, you should be careful when you meet this man!" The boss' tone was full of dissatisfaction with Marshal Xiao and concern for Jia Xiong.

After the innkeeper left, Dark Moon Enchantress' eyes were solemn. She waved her hand and summoned everyone to the room. Everyone sat together and the atmosphere was tense.

Just as Dark Moon Fairy was about to give instructions for the next matters, Du Zhong suddenly took out a key mold as if offering a treasure. With a smug smile on his face, he said in a loud voice, "That pervert wants to take advantage of me. I'll use a little trick to make a replica of the city gate key for him! From now on, we can leave the city in the middle of the night without anyone noticing!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Dark Moon Fairy's eyes. She gave a thumbs up and praised, "Du Zhong, you are really amazing! Go to the city guard general tonight and drink with him. You must find a way to make him agree to take us to Wu'an Palace to celebrate Xiao Jingyi's birthday!"

Du Zhong's face turned gloomy. He frowned and said, "Master, that man is a lustful and reckless man. If I go there again, I will definitely be exposed." There was a hint of helplessness and worry in his voice.

Dark Moon Fairy understood his concerns. She smiled gently, took out a pill from her bosom, handed it to Du Zhong, and comforted him, "Don't worry, put this in his wine, and he will listen to you obediently. Mu San, you and Du Heng go with Du Zhong, so you can take care of each other."

Du Zhong took the pill and felt a little relieved, but there was still a hint of hesitation in his eyes. Mu San patted his shoulder and gave him an encouraging look, indicating that he would fully support him.

Dark Moon Fairy turned to look at Shang Lu again. Her voice was firm and decisive: "Shang Lu, take me to find Princess Nanzhi. Let's go meet up with them first and make preparations in advance."

"Ghost Hand, your mission is extremely important. You need to lead people to carefully inspect the entire Nanyi city defense layout."

"Sword Soul, your mission is equally arduous. You need to lead people to infiltrate the Nanyi army, find a way to get close to those generals, and understand their true thoughts and attitudes. Mainly, see if there is a harmonious relationship between the Nanyi generals and the Xiao family army generals. You must be careful and cautious when you go, and you must not reveal your identity. I look forward to your good news."

After hearing Dark Moon Enchantress's arrangements, everyone looked confused.

Du Zhong frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Master, our mission this time is to protect Princess Nanzhi. As long as we can send her to Shangjing safely, it will be fine. Why do we have to enter the Wu'an Palace? And check the city defense arrangements? And even go to the army?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Dark Moon Enchantress, their eyes full of confusion and expectation, hoping to get a reasonable explanation from her.

Dark Moon Fairy smiled slightly and said softly: "Du Zhong, since we have come to Nanyi, we should take the opportunity to learn more about the situation. After all, things are unpredictable and no one knows what will happen in the future. If one day we receive a mission to assassinate Xiao Jingyi, knowing more about the situation can also increase the success rate of the mission!"

Shang Zhi looked at Dark Moon Fairy with a hint of disbelief in her eyes. She thought to herself: I don't believe your lies! You just fancy the gold and silver jewelry in Xiao Jingyi's mansion!

Mu San was full of admiration: Only the Pavilion Master can make robbery sound legitimate!
