The elixir Zeng Wenyu gave to Huang Quan was very effective. It was the elixir that Hua Wu Yue gave him before he left Shubian City. Hua Wu Yue said that it was the healing elixir she usually used.

After taking the elixir for about half an hour, Huang Quan's shoulder injury had almost recovered. Of course, Zeng Wenyu had already reconnected her dislocated left arm.

Seeing that Huang Quan's injuries had almost healed, everyone set out again towards Andong City.

Along the way, Huang Quan told Li Pingping everything about his brother. It was also the first time that Li Pingping knew that he had arranged people around him for all the forces in the entire Andong City.

"Brother, you have big plans. If father doesn't choose him as the successor, I'm afraid he will really launch a coup," Li Pingping couldn't help but stand still and look in the direction of Andong City after listening to what Huang Quan said. "But brother, don't you really know? Andong City is not hereditary. How can such an important city that controls the economy of the surrounding border cities be handed over to one family? The Central Imperial City of Dakang will not be arranged like this. After father leaves office, the Central Imperial City will definitely send a new city lord."

Sighing softly, Li Pingping looked at Zeng Wenyu beside him and said, "Brother Gao, what do you think if I don't go back, how about traveling with you to the outside world?"

Looking at Li Pingping with a worried look on his face and the hesitation in his eyes, Zeng Wenyu thought for a moment and shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to travel with you, think about it yourself, can you let go of the matter of Andong City? If your brother really launched a coup, would you watch your father and your brother being strangled by the Central Imperial City?"

Li Pingping remained silent. He turned his head and looked at Luoluo beside him. Although Luoluo usually looked down on people like him with low cultivation, she also felt that the atmosphere was not right at this time. She just stood there quietly and was stroked on the head by Li Pingping.

"My brother is too ambitious. What he did would really implicate father, but...but I don't believe that father doesn't know about this. As the mayor of Andong City, father's control over Andong City is much greater than that of my brother. Moreover, my father must have known about my brother's sending Xiao Que'er to approach me and assassinate me, but he didn't stop my brother at all..."

Taking a deep breath, Li Pingping suddenly leaned on Luluo: "So, in fact, father was also involved in my brother's affairs. He did not stop my brother from killing me. He even acquiesced to what my brother did to me..."

The expression on Li Pingping's face turned into despair, he knew that his father and brother had abandoned him.

Leaning on Luoluo's body, after a while, Li Pingping's eyes suddenly became firm: "No matter what, they are my father and brother! I must stop them from doing stupid things!"

After saying this, Li Pingping got up from the green radish and walked to Zeng Wenyu: "Brother Gao, can you give me a hand?"

"What benefits can I get?" Zeng Wenyu was very realistic. Helping Li Pingping was not like helping other people. What Li Pingping had to do was too difficult. If he did not ask for benefits, there was no guarantee that Li Pingping would not doubt him later.

"Let me think about it. I can't give you much, Brother Gao. After all, before I really stop my father and brother, everything I promised is empty. So... Brother Gao, is there anything you want?"

"Me? I want a lot of spiritual herbs, lots of spiritual herbs for me to practice."

"Okay! Then I promise you, after this is done, I will give you all the spiritual herbs in the treasury of the Lord of Anton City. If it's not enough, you can buy them at the auction house in the city. As long as you want, I will give it to you!"

"Okay! It's a deal!" Zeng Wenyu nodded, and then he asked Li Pingping, "What's your plan? I don't believe your father and brother only arranged Huang Quan to be by your side. There must be someone else that she doesn't know about. Moreover, your father and brother have been operating in Andong City for so many years. I believe that as soon as you enter the city, you will be discovered by their spies, and they will definitely pass the news on as soon as possible."

"Then don't go into the city! I have my own power in Andong City for so many years, but I just don't show it normally. Even Xiao Que'er doesn't know about this. When the time comes, only Brother Gao and Miss Zhang will need to go into the city. I will tell you the contact information, and they will naturally come out of the city to find me after seeing it."

"Are you sure that the power you have established will not have people arranged by your father and brother?"

"I'm not sure, so I need you to help me contact them, Brother Gao. As long as they come out of the city, I will be able to tell which of them are the ones arranged by my father and brother."

"Okay! Just do as you say!"

The group quickened their pace. They still had three days to reach Andong City. During these three days, Li Pingping kept improving his plan. He considered every aspect and finally made a plan that seemed perfect.

Before arriving in Andong City, Zeng Wenyu reminded Li Pingping that no matter how perfect a plan is, there may be unexpected events. Li Pingping nodded to indicate that he knew. He said that his plan was just a basis, there were exceptions to everything, and he would adapt to the circumstances.

The Anton City in front of us is the largest city nearby. The headquarters of all the chambers of commerce in the surrounding border towns are here. It is also the largest trading city in the area.

Andong City has extremely high city walls. The entire wall is built with high-strength bluestone, and various formations are carved on the wall.

Zeng Wenyu took Zhang Qing and walked in through the city gate. When they came over, Li Pingping had already told him how to contact his forces. The place they were going to was a place called "Anqing Inn" in the east city of Andong City.

The Anqing Inn is easy to find. After arriving in Dongcheng, walk a distance forward and you will see the sign of Anqing Inn.

Anqing Inn is not a very big inn, the inn sign is not very big either, and there are not many people living in it.

When he walked into Anqing Inn, there were not many people there, so Zeng Wenyu saw the owner dozing off behind the counter.

He walked to the counter and knocked on it. The shopkeeper looked up and saw Zeng Wenyu. He immediately put on a smile and said, "Sir, would you like to stop by or stay overnight?"

"Neither staying overnight nor staying in a hotel, I am looking for someone called Ups and Downs."

Hearing Zeng Wenyu say this, the shopkeeper's face immediately changed. He lowered his voice and said, "I wonder what the guest wants to do?"

"If there is something unfair, please ask me to help you resolve it."

The shopkeeper looked around and made sure that there was no one else watching. He waved to a servant to help watch the store. He took Zeng Wenyu and Zhang Qing to the backyard of the inn.
