The robbery team ran wildly all the way and slowed down only after leaving the outskirts of the city and entering the mountains and forests. At the command of the leader, all the knights took off the masks on their faces and threw them into the dense forest. Afterwards, they formed small teams of five and returned to the city with the cloths.

The "Black Impermanence" took off his mask first, revealing a handsome face with a strong character. It was Ye Lixue, one of Murong Yanhui's best friends.

Immediately afterwards, the "King of Hell" and the "White Impermanence" also took off their masks, revealing themselves to be Murong Yanhui and his other close friend Baili Changjue.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Your Highness, you are truly generous this time. I just wonder what the price of this action is?"

Murong Yan smiled back without saying anything, but instead asked, "Did you all enjoy the bandit tour today?"

Baili Changjue waved the jade fan in his hand. "Games are fun, but with this commotion, the prince has officially taken a stand. This Qianlu Pavilion seems to be Prime Minister Yu's shop. It's just a fight between father and daughter, but the prince has chosen to get involved. I'm afraid things will become complicated."

"What's so complicated? What can Yu Zhengsha do if she bullies my woman?"

Murong Yan's reply was half true and half false, but the resolute tone made Baili Changjue and Ye Lixue look at each other in surprise. Could it be that this prince was really in love?

Baili Changjue's face changed, and he hesitated whether he should tell Murong Yanhui about the matter between Murong Feng and Yu Qingli. He didn't tell it before because he thought that Yu Qingli was just one of Murong Yanhui's many women, but he didn't expect that this time, he would even call them all to act for this woman.

Things seemed to be more serious than they had imagined.

Ye Lixue on the side seemed to see Baili Changjue's worry, patted him on the shoulder, and signaled him to tell Murong Yanhui the truth.

"Your Majesty, there is one thing we have been hiding from you."

Baili Changjue spoke seriously. He didn't want their teasing to become a cause for Murong to regret in the future. This was the measure that should be mastered as a friend.

"Hmm?" Murong Yan raised an eyebrow, his eyes sweeping between the two of them. "Did you do something behind my back?"

"no……"

"what is that?"

Seeing Baili Changjue dragging his feet, Ye Lixue beside him couldn't help but anxiously take over the conversation and said, "Baili, when did you become so fussy? Your Highness, in fact, there was a piece of information missing from the last time Baili gave you."

"What information?" Murong Yanhui was a little confused, but quickly came to her senses. Were they referring to the information on Murong Feng that she had requested specifically for Yu Qingli? "What's missing?"

Ye Lixue was about to speak when she was stopped by Baili Changjue. If this guy who always spoke directly was allowed to speak out, it would only add to the prince's troubles, right?

"It's not that there's less, it's just somewhat irrelevant to what the prince wants. However, judging from today's situation, it seems to be somewhat related to the prince."

"What do you mean by related or not?" Ye Lixue frowned. "It's actually very simple. The information I haven't given you records a story that happened two years ago between the eldest prince Murong Feng and Yu Qingli."

Murong Yan smiled faintly, "So..."

Ye Lixue and the others were stunned. Did the prince not care? Or was he just pretending not to care?

"Do you think I can't compete with Murong Feng?"

The two of them shook their heads in unison, but the beauty named Yu Qingli seemed to be more interested in Murong Feng. In addition, the prince's behavior was very different from usual, which made them feel a little worried.

I hope it won’t be in vain!

Murong Yan replied confidently, "If that's the case, you're worrying too much. I don't even take a mere boy seriously."

The two of them sighed inwardly, wishing it were true. They hoped they were just overthinking it.

"Let's go and have a drink! I'll treat you!" Murong Yanhui generously pulled Baili Changjue and Ye Lixue and walked towards the most famous restaurant in the area.

The morning sun finally rose from the east, and the sky was already bright. The streets, which had been deserted for a moment, became noisy again, completely eliminating the tense atmosphere caused by the robbery in Qianlu Pavilion.

When Jiang Bai rushed to Qianlu Pavilion, he saw that the door was closed and there was no sign of business. His face immediately darkened.

I went up and knocked on the door, but no one came to answer.

Jiang Bai was confused. What on earth was going on? He went forward and knocked on the door again, but still no one came to answer.

A passerby kindly said, "Stop knocking. A group of robbers came to rob us early this morning, and the shopkeeper must have run away out of fear."

Jiang Bai bowed to the passerby and said, "Could you please tell me the whole story?"

Seeing that the passerby seemed reluctant, Jiang Bai quickly took out some change from his sleeve. When the passerby saw it, his eyes lit up immediately, and he told Jiang Bai the whole cause and effect of the matter in detail. What he said was three times more exciting than the storyteller.

After hearing this, Jiang Bai didn't stay any longer. He harnessed his carriage and hurried back to report.

Yu Qingli slept until noon. When she came out of the room refreshed, she happened to meet Mei Hong who hurried into the yard.

There were still some beads of sweat on Meihong's forehead, and her pretty face was rosy, like two ripe apples, looking very cute.

Seeing Yu Qingli wake up, Mei Hong stepped forward and reported: "Miss, you are finally awake. The eldest prince has come to look for you twice." There was a hint of complaint in her tone.

Yu Qingli felt cold in her heart and glanced at Mei Hong, "Where have you been in such a hurry?"

Yu Qingli's reminder reminded Mei Hong of something strange she had heard today. "Miss, have you heard? They say ghost soldiers appeared on this street!"

"Ghost soldiers?"

Mei Hong nodded and told Yu Qingli the story of the robbery of Qianlu Pavilion in vivid detail.

Yu Qingli couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. She had asked Murong Yan to come back to take back the cloth, but she didn't expect him to make such a big fuss and even fabricate some "King of Hell" from hell for no reason!

"King of Hell" is the King of Yan!

It's really amazing that Murong Yan could recall it, but it's a good thing this way. He made up a fictitious person out of thin air. Even if Yu Zhengsha wanted to look for him, he might not be able to find him.

But after alerting the enemy, it may not be so easy to snatch business from other shops, right?

At the same time that Yu Qingli received the news, Yu Zhengsha in the study also received the news. When he learned that Qianlu Pavilion had been looted and even the shopkeeper and the clerk had disappeared, he angrily smashed the glass ball in his hand to the ground.

Jiang Bai stood opposite the desk without saying a word. He really didn't expect the other party to be so courageous. Robbery in broad daylight on the street was really intolerable!

"Master, what should we do next?"

"What else can we do? King of Hell?! I think it should be King of Yan?!"

Yu Zhengsha was furious, but he had no idea what to do. Even though he knew who did it, he had no way to deal with the Prince of Yan who never played by the rules. To put it bluntly, this man was a thorn in the side. Even His Majesty kept his distance from him, let alone himself.

Jiang Bai's expression changed, and he seemed a little dissatisfied. "Master, are we just going to let the King of Yan do what he wants?"

Yu Zhengsha paced back and forth in the study room for a few steps, and suddenly laughed out loud, "Good, that's a good grab!"

"Master, what are you..."

Jiang Bai was puzzled. Wasn't the master very angry before? Why did he burst into laughter all of a sudden?

"Jiang Bai, go inform the County Magistrate and tell him what happened today. In this wealthy area of Jiangnan, there are actually criminals openly robbing people. It is truly a dereliction of duty on their part."

"What the master means is..."

"As long as they catch the strongman on the spot, no matter who he is, I can report him to the court. Gathering a crowd to cause trouble like this is truly sinister."

After hearing this, Jiang Bai roughly understood what Yu Zhengsha meant. This move was indeed ruthless. As the saying goes, to catch a thief and seize the stolen goods, as long as there is solid evidence, even if the other party is the King of Yan, he will not be able to escape the blame.

"Yes, old slave, let's do it now."

Yu Zhengsha believed that these people would not just stop at robbing the Qianluoge cloth shop, but with Murong Yanhui's arrogance, Yu Zhengsha believed that he would continue to help Yu Qingli take back the remaining shops.

What Yu Zhengsha arranged was exactly what Yu Qingli was worried about.

However, Murong Yanhui did not have such worries. He had plenty of ways to get back the things that were stolen from Yu Qingli's shop.

In the evening, Yu Zhengsha specially asked the kitchen to prepare a dinner as a formal welcome for Murong Feng, and specially invited Murong Yanhui to join him.

The dinner began. At Yu Zhengsha's request, Yu Qingli left the table early. Murong Feng, who hadn't seen Yu Qingli all day, kept his eyes on her after she appeared.

Yu Qingli smiled faintly, with a hint of charm in her eyes, but she had already torn this person apart in her heart.

After everyone was seated, Yu Zhengsha looked around and said, "Prince Yan hasn't arrived yet. Why don't we wait a little longer?"

"No need to wait, the King is here."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Murong Yanhui in an ice-blue brocade robe with moon-white cloud patterns embroidered on the lapels and cuffs. His waist was tied with a belt of the same color, and a piece of ancient and gloomy black jade hung around his waist, which looked to be of excellent quality. His black hair seemed to have just been washed and was tied casually behind his head. The smooth hair intertwined and danced in the cool breeze, with a hint of rebelliousness.

Even Yu Qingli couldn't help but stare at him in a trance. Although she didn't have much interaction with this dandy prince in her previous life, she vaguely remembered that he seemed to be a famous handsome man in Canghe.

Unlike Murong Feng's gentleness and elegance, Murong Yanhui seems to exude a more wild and arrogant attitude as a man, which makes him more attractive.

Seeing Yu Qingli staring at her, Murong Yan gave her an ambiguous look subtly. Yu Qingli quickly turned her head away with an indifferent expression.
