Wandering the Heavens

"Aren't you just encouraging others and destroying your own prestige?" Xiao Jingyan was becoming more and more disgusted with Meng Zhi.

It's quite funny to see two people with slow minds getting together and disliking each other.

"Life is more important than face! I have talked with Yue Xiu Ze and the young master of Langya Pavilion. If that mysterious man wants to kill someone, the two of them may not even know how the other party will attack." Meng Zhi hurriedly explained.

"My martial arts skills are also quite good, why are you masters on the Langya List so cautious?" Xiao Jingyan was very dissatisfied with Meng Zhi's surrender.

"Your Highness, fighting on the battlefield is different from a duel between masters. Think about the people who died or were injured at his hands, Xia Jiang and Zhuo Dingfeng, they are all very skilled! He made such a big noise, but he didn't leave any trace. Even the eunuchs he rescued on New Year's Eve didn't know what he looked like. They only saw a shadow passing by, and the killers threw him to the ground, holding their throats. This was at night, and he killed people in broad daylight in front of Xia Dong, but Xia Dong didn't even know how he did it. And those leaflets, Xia Chun and Xie Yu couldn't find any clues at all." Meng Zhi spoke frankly and told all these things at once.

"Was all this done by that mysterious man?" Xiao Jingyan asked with a frown.

"In fact, everyone thinks that this was not done by one person, but by a group of people." Meng Zhi sighed.

"According to what you said, this person only appeared in public three times, once in front of Xia Dong, once to rescue the eunuch who was given food from the palace on New Year's Eve, and once when he was dueling with Yue Xiu Ze?" Xiao Jingyan felt that this was ridiculous.

"Yes!" Meng Zhi nodded.

"When did he kill someone in front of Xia Dong?" Xiao Jingyan suddenly thought of something.

"Let me think, it was when I was coming back from a business trip to Binzhou, outside the city of Jinling. That business trip seemed to be..." Meng Zhi couldn't remember it for a moment.

"It was my father who sent her to Binzhou to investigate the land encroachment case of the Duke of Qing's Mansion." Xiao Jingyan remembered that in the case file of the land encroachment, there was an investigation record written by Xia Dong herself with her private seal on it.

"Yes, that's it. Before that, it was Tianquan Villa that was bewitched by Xie Yu and worked for the prince. The people who escorted the old couple to Beijing to file a complaint were Zhuo Dingfeng and his son from Tianquan Villa. Xia Dong also found out when he went to Binzhou. In order to avoid being exposed, Xie Yu asked Tianquan Villa to kill Xia Dong to silence him. That's why the mysterious man did it." Meng Zhi told him what Mei Changsu had told him.

"Where did you hear this? Even I, the prince in charge of the case, don't know." Xiao Jingyan asked, staring into Meng Zhi's eyes.

"Your Highness, these are what Mr. Su said during the conversation." Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Meng Zhi had to confess.

"But Xia Dong did not report to father about the attack on the road and the rescue by the mysterious man. There is something wrong with Xia Dong!" Xiao Jingyan stood up suddenly.

"Your Highness, what did you say?" Meng Zhi didn't know why Xiao Jingyan was so excited.

"Xia Dong may have betrayed our father." Xiao Jingyan's hand holding the sword was shaking slightly.

"But Xia Jiang died at the hands of a mysterious man. They were enemies. Why did Xia Dong betray Your Majesty?" Meng Zhi didn't understand politics but he understood interests.

"Commander Meng, we may all die here." Xiao Jingyan smiled bitterly.

Meng Zhi simply didn't understand.

For Xiao Jingyan, there are still many mysteries, but he feels that this world has completely changed into something he doesn't recognize. The purpose of Xia Dong's betrayal is unknown, but one thing is certain, that is, she is the only one who can access the imperial edict to defend the king, and she may not give the edict to Mu Qing of Prince Mu's mansion.

Mei Changsu could naturally think of what Xiao Jingyan could figure out. Relying on the information in his hands and his clear mind, he connected all people and things together, and finally discovered that the ultimate goal of this mysterious man was to overthrow the Xiao royal family.

His plan was not complicated. He first killed Xia Jiang, the expert in investigating cases, and then sent out leaflets about the emperor's past to undermine people's hearts and minds. At the same time, he interfered with his own plan to compete for the throne and intensified the internal struggle in Daliang. This is why Prince Yu allowed the Minister of Justice to embarrass Prince Jing, which eventually led to Prince Jing's capture of the Ministry of Justice in anger, and why He Wenxin wanted to show up but had his leg broken, etc.

Sima Lei's death gave him a terrible guess: the Southern Border Mu family was his carefully selected replacement, and Mu Qing would be the new master of this land.

This man is too scary. Not only does he know his own plans well, he also seems to be able to predict the future.

"Li Gang, hurry up, prepare the carriage, let's go to Prince Mu's Mansion!" Mei Changsu ordered while suppressing his physical discomfort.

“Master, this…” Li Gang hesitated as he looked at Doctor Yan who was so angry that he couldn’t speak.

"Hurry! It will be too late if it's any later. Find another way to contact Prince Yu and tell him that Mei Changsu has something important to tell you!" Mei Changsu seemed to have broken free from his weak body at this moment.

"Master, you have a good rest, I will do it right away!" Li Gang comforted Mei Changsu while winking at Doctor Yan.

After receiving the hint, Doctor Yan immediately took out a silver needle and stabbed Mei Changsu unconscious.

"I don't understand what you are doing, but if you are sick, just take care of yourself. Why are you worrying about this every day?" Doctor Yan muttered as he straightened Mei Changsu's body and continued to give him acupuncture.

"Doctor Yan, how long can the sect leader's body last?" Li Gang also knew that he was in the wrong.

"I don't know how long he can last, but if you keep making trouble like this, I will be pissed to death sooner or later!" Doctor Yan wanted to give Li Gang a few injections to make them quiet down.

Now that Jinling has been occupied by the rebels, the aristocratic families are in a panic. Instead of staying at home, they run out to have fun. Do they really think Jinling is their home?

Li Gang also did not approve of Mei Changsu going out. He was far inferior to Mei Changsu, but as a former deputy general of the Red Flame Army, he could naturally see how bad the situation was.

"Doctor Yan, please let the sect leader sleep for a while longer. I will go and make preparations. If the situation changes, we will immediately sneak out of Nanjing and return to Jiangzuo. We will never come to this dirty place again!" Li Gang ordered while gritting his teeth.

"Go! I don't approve of him coming to this damn Jinling." Doctor Yan waved his hand.

When Mei Changsu woke up again, the first face he saw was Doctor Yan's, still smelling just as bad; then he saw Gong Yu's face, looking much more haggard.

"What time is it now?" Mei Changsu's voice was a little hoarse.

"Young Master, you have been in a coma for ten days." Gong Yu quickly poured a glass of warm water and helped him drink it.

"Ten days, how is Jinling?" Mei Changsu's throat felt better after swallowing the warm water.

"Young Master, Prince Yu was defeated and captured the day before yesterday, and the emperor was welcomed back to the palace that day." Gong Yu thought about it and briefly mentioned it.

"Who did it?" Mei Changsu forced himself to cheer up.

"It was young Prince Mu. He received the imperial edict to assist the king, and he led his troops to attack Nanjing day and night, and rescued everyone in the besieged Xishan Hunting Ground in time." Gong Yu tried to sound as nice as possible.

"Gong Yu, why don't you tell the truth?" How could Mei Changsu not know Gong Yu's little thoughts.

"Young Master, your body..." Gong Yu looked at Mei Changsu and then at Doctor Yan who was grinding medicine on the side.

"Tell him what you want so that he can give up as soon as possible, otherwise he will get angry with me one day." Doctor Yan looked at the young couple and said angrily.

"When Prince Mu came, it was the last moment of the resistance of the imperial palace guards. The soldiers had been killed or wounded. The generals of Prince Jing's mansion were all killed in the battle. Prince Jing himself lost his right arm. Commander Meng was exhausted and unconscious. Doctor Yan went to see him. His martial arts skills were no longer preserved. On the rebel side, Xu Anmo saw that the situation was hopeless, so he fled in disguise and is currently missing. The Qingli Army has all surrendered, and Princess Nihuang is currently in charge. The emperor seemed to be frightened and has not yet regained consciousness." Gong Yu told Mei Changsu the main situation.

"Gong Yu, go and tell Qin Banruo that I admit defeat and will give the Jiangzuo League to her, but she must fulfill my wish!" Mei Changsu allowed Gong Yu to comfort him and quietly rested his head on her thighs, closed his eyes and enjoyed this rare peace.
