Ning Yuanzhou looked at Du Changshi in confusion and asked, "What on earth is going on? What are you hiding from me?!"

Du Changshi replied with red eyes: "Master Ning, do you know the significance of Tianji Pavilion?"

Not only Ning Yuanzhou knew, Ren Ruyi also knew. Tianji Pavilion never participated in party affairs~

Ren Ruyi: "You mean, the Tianji Pavilion has come to question us?!"

Ning Yuanzhou shook his head. No, Chu Ji was the young master of Tianji Pavilion. Who could blame her? Could it be that she was planning to do something that violated the rules of Tianji Pavilion?

Thinking of this, Ning Yuanzhou's eyes lit up, "Could it be that she~"

Du Changshi knew that Ning Yuanzhou had figured it out, and nodded heavily at him, "So Your Highness is going to accept the punishment. This is the price she has to pay, so before Your Highness comes back, I hope that Hall Master Ning can help Your Highness guard the delegation."

Ning Yuanzhou nodded, "I understand!!"

At the same time, Li Tongguang also investigated the source of the assassin and found that it was Zhuyiwei. He sent his subordinates to smash the two nearest branches of Zhuyiwei and asked the commander Deng Hui to give an explanation in three days.

Ning Yuanzhou also brought Sun Lang and others to investigate the assassin's body. From various evidences, they speculated that it was the Beipan people who came to assassinate him.

Ning Yuanzhou sent someone to call Li Tongguang and told him the secret passage he had discovered. The secret passage in the cave was about dozens of miles long and led directly to the outside of Tianmen Pass.

Over the years, there have been constant wars between the two countries of An and Wu, and Emperor An has transferred many soldiers from outside the Tianmen Pass. The people of Beipan also took the opportunity to build secret passages to sneak into the country of An and plunder villages. Last night, the people of Beipan happened to encounter Li Tongguang and his party, who were well-dressed and well-fed, after looting the village, and decided to intercept and kill them.

This matter concerns the safety of both An and Wu. Ning Yuanzhou has sent a secret letter to Wudu about this matter. He also hopes that Li Tongguang will report to Emperor An to strengthen the defense of Tianmen Pass and the secret passage.

Li Tongguang was worried that the memorial he had submitted would not reach Emperor An. He also believed that Emperor An did not believe that the Beipan people had attacked secretly and that the Zhuyi Guards were also harboring ulterior motives. He suggested that Ning Yuanzhou and his party reach Andu as soon as possible so that they could present the matter in detail when they met the emperor.

Ning Yuanzhou agreed immediately. Li Tongguang saw Ning Yuanzhou and Ruyi behaving intimately and left angrily. Ning Yuanzhou told Ruyi that he was the other party's master-in-law after all, and he would deal with Li Tongguang's weird habit in the future.

The delegation packed their luggage and prepared to go to Andu. While resting in the inn on the way, Qian Zhao discovered that the food of the delegation was harmful to the injured. Everyone speculated that it was Li Tongguang who did it out of jealousy. Ning Yuanzhou took the initiative to find Li Tongguang and said that his tricks about food incompatibility were just childish things.

Li Tongguang: "I think Prince Li won't bother with me, right?! After all, when we were in the military camp, Prince Li didn't even say he was joking with me?!"

Li Tongguang said this to Prince Li who was behind the tent upstairs. For some reason, Prince Li, who had always been very arrogant, had been hiding behind the tent and not speaking for the past few days.

It would be more accurate to say that he was trying to test the person behind the curtain rather than venting his anger.

Ning Yuanzhou saw that his eyes were fixed on it and knew that she must be suspicious of his whereabouts. Just when he was thinking about saying something to divert his attention, he saw the curtain being lifted up.

Chu Ji stood on the high ground, looking down at Li Tongguang, and then smiled: "Li Tongguang~ Instead of selling your body in front of Concubine Chu, why not cooperate with me? I don't think you want to tarnish your master's reputation~"
