Rebirth is not a dream.

Chapter 172: Floating Life Palace

Su Yue looked at Long Twelve, a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes, and asked, "You seem to know a lot about the Iron Eagle Guard?"

Long Twelve bowed slightly and replied respectfully, "My lord, we are both under your command, so we have some interactions, but the Iron Eagle Guard and our Eighteen Dragon and Tiger Riders usually act separately."

Su Yue nodded and continued to ask: "So, has your master told you to do anything?"

Long Twelve straightened up and said truthfully, "We obey the orders of the master who holds the black jade hairpin. The last instruction of the master was that whoever holds the black jade hairpin and blows it is our new master. When we meet the new master, we only need to present the bamboo flute and obey his orders."

Su Yue's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Do you know how the Iron Eagle Guards contacted each other?"

Long Twelve shook his head, indicating that he was not sure.

Su Yue thought for a moment, then her eyes fell on Long Twelve, and she slowly said: "Your current names are too casual and not formal enough. Let me change your names. From now on, you will be called Long Lu, and Long Fourteen can be called Long Wu, and Long Fifteen can be called Long Xi."

Dragon Twelve, Dragon Fourteen, and Dragon Fifteen looked at each other and knelt down to express their gratitude: "Thank you, Master, for the name!"

Su Yue smiled and nodded, motioning them to stand up, and instructed: "You go back to the manor first, and I will make arrangements after I decide what to do for you. Remember to keep a low profile in the manor."

Long Twelve and others responded in unison, then turned and left.

Su Yue was a little surprised that Prince Ding of Beiyan returned to Beiyan, because she had not yet thought of a response plan. After Prince Ding left, Prince Li, Prince Nan and Princess Qingwu stayed in Da'an. Su Yue couldn't help but wonder what the real purpose of Beiyan's visit was. They have stayed in Da'an for nearly a month, but have not clearly expressed what kind of interest agreement they have reached with the emperor. Su Yue wondered: "Is the communication between the two countries so casual? Is Prince Ding just coming to Da'an for a trip?" This question made Su Yue fall into deep thought, and she felt that things did not seem as simple as they seemed.

Su Yue took Fubao to play in the back garden. She looked at Fubao's innocent appearance and could not help but feel a little envious. Children are always so easy to satisfy. As long as they have enough food, warm clothes and someone to accompany them, they will feel extremely happy.

However, for Su Yue, the current situation has become very tricky, and she doesn't even know how to deal with it next. Those things that seemed insignificant before now need to be carefully considered. This is even more true for the industries in her hands. If she can't make good use of them, she may find it difficult to deal with the current situation. However, Su Yue never thought that her life experience would be so complicated. When she handed these industries to the emperor for review, she never thought about the potential risks.

Now, she couldn't help but start to worry whether the people in these industries were still loyal to her. Su Yue played with Fu Bao for a whole morning, and after lunch, she asked the maid to take Fu Bao to take a nap.

Afterwards, Su Yue called Qiu Zhu and asked, "Do we have a reliable source of intelligence? Can we learn about what happened in Kyoto in advance?"

Qiu Zhu looked at Su Yue with a puzzled look on her face and asked softly, "Princess, what do you want to know?"

Su Yue held her chin with both hands, blinked her big eyes at Qiu Zhu, and said with a smile: "It's nothing! I just want to know if there are any rules or taboos in this era. After all, I just came here, and if I accidentally step on a minefield that I shouldn't step on, it will be terrible!"

Hearing this, Qiu Zhu couldn't help but reveal a puzzled expression: "Step on a landmine? What does this mean?"

Su Yue realized that she had used the wrong word and hurriedly explained: "Oh, I mean if you accidentally touch something you shouldn't touch, that would be bad!"

Qiu Zhu nodded in sudden realization, and then told Su Yue: "Our Xiaoyun Tower does have some sources of information, but most of them are just ordinary people's idle chats after dinner. If you want to know more in-depth and secret things, you can go to two places to inquire. One is the Seven Stars Pavilion, where you can buy all kinds of information; the other is the Fusheng Palace, where you can not only buy information, but also accept various assassination missions!"

Su Yue frowned and asked in confusion: "I have heard of the Seven Stars Pavilion. Was our last assassination attempt related to them?"

Qiu Zhu nodded and replied, "That's right, but we haven't found the person behind it yet."

Su Yue continued to ask: "Then do you know who opened the Seven Star Pavilion?"

Qiu Zhu shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't know. The Seven Stars Pavilion is as mysterious as the Fu Sheng Palace. We only know that the Seven Stars Pavilion will accept orders to kill people, but there is a rule that they will not kill children under the age of 12. Other than that, we don't know anything else. And they charge a very high price, and ordinary people can't afford it at all."

Hearing this, Su Yue couldn't help but feel curious, and she asked, "What is the Fu Sheng Palace?"

Qiu Zhu took a deep breath and slowly explained: "No one knows where the Fu Sheng Palace is. We only know that there is a Fu Sheng Master Yuan Xi in the Jianghu, and it is rare to see him in the clear wind and bright moon."

Su Yue thought that this Fu Sheng Palace was engaged in murder and robbery, but there were still people chasing stars. Could this Fu Sheng Gongzi be the signboard of Fu Sheng Palace to attract business? Su Yue really couldn't figure it out. There were still too many things in this world that Su Yue couldn't understand, such as the matter of chasing stars. Everyone knew that he was the boss of a killer organization and was doing murder and arson, so why were there so many people chasing him?

Su Yue couldn't help but think, if he were that Fu Sheng Gongzi, how would he view these people's admiration and pursuit? Maybe he would find it ridiculous, or maybe he would feel a little proud, but in any case, such pursuit is a burden for a killer. Because what they really need is not this kind of vain honor, but freedom, power or other more practical things.

However, Su Yue suddenly realized that she seemed to be trapped in a vicious circle. She originally pursued a simple and happy life, but now she was involved in a complicated struggle. She couldn't help asking herself: "What do I want?"

At this time, Su Yue thought of her family and friends, who were all ordinary people, living ordinary and happy lives. Perhaps this was the life she really longed for, rather than chasing after those illusory fame and fortune in this complicated world.

Thinking of this, Su Yue decided to let go of her obsession and re-examine her life goals. She wanted to get rid of those unnecessary troubles and find her own peace and happiness.
