Duan Rongshi swung his hand back and broke the sword that was pointing at him into two pieces.

His face was filled with disdain: "You officials, are the people around you so arbitrary and stupid?"

A rustling sound.

Zhui Yu and his companions had quietly sneaked around and completely surrounded Zong Zheng Langri and his group.

As long as Duan Rongshi gives the order.

Zong Zhenglangri cannot escape death today.

The situation on both sides was tense and ready to fight at any moment.

But dying like this was too easy for Zong Zheng Langri.

It would be even easier for Duan Rongshi to kill him easily.

So Duan Rongshi suppressed the murderous intent in his heart, and then said coldly with his hands behind his back: "The coincidence I mentioned is because we found a man-made trap near the Beast Forest."

Zong Zheng stared at Duan Rongshi.

He sensed a deep hidden gloom in this person.

Moreover, the murderous intent he just released was by no means accidental.

However, before the King of Chu could fully understand this man, Duan Rongshi had already thrown some poisonous insects and some scraps of cloth with witchcraft written on them that had not been completely burned.

Emperor Chu: "What is this?"

Duan Rongshi: "Don't you know, sir? This is Miao territory witchcraft. Someone is deliberately luring these beasts here."

"Someone must have known that the Lord would be out hunting again today, so they set a trap for you to kill all the beasts."

After saying this, Duan Rongshi didn't say any more nonsense. He bowed to the Emperor of Chu and then quickly evacuated with his men.

He didn't even leave his name.

Not to mention asking for credit or reward.

The Emperor of Chu waited until he left before looking coldly at the guards: "Capture that Taoist priest for me!"

After hearing this, Li Qingluo still felt a sense of danger.

"How is Qing Yangzi now?"

Although he knew that he must have arranged everything long ago, Li Qingluo also wanted to know the follow-up of this matter.

Moreover, Duan Rongshi has been busy in and out every day these days, and it is obvious that something big has happened again.

Duan Rongshi reached out and scratched her nose: "Are you still worried about him?"

"Don't worry, with his eloquent tongue, he won't lose his life."

"All he needs to do is confess to that person when he interrogates him personally that he had already predicted that His Majesty would face this disaster, and that he didn't stop it because he also predicted that they would turn the disaster into a blessing and successfully hunt down the King of Beasts they desired."

"As for the witchcraft and the beast trap, he denies everything. Naturally, the Emperor of Chu will suspect someone else."

Li Qingluo: "Is this other person Jinhuan?"

Only Jinhuan has the ability to lure so many wild beasts into the forest.

Li Qingluo was not wrong in his guess. It was indeed Jinhuan who intervened in this matter.

"Don't worry, she has already diverted the trouble to the Fourth Prince's mansion."

Jinhuan and Aduo now live in the mansion of the Sixth Prince Zongzheng Wuheng.

The real enemy that Jin Huan has to deal with is the Fourth Prince Zong Zheng Wuyou, who is behind the attempt to steal the legendary treasure of their Wu Yue Sect.

So this move can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

However, when mentioning the Fourth Prince, Li Qingluo remembered something.

"Ashi, do you still remember what Ji Jinxue, the head of the Hehuan Sect, once said?"

"This Zong Zheng Wuyou has always had close ties with Yungu. He even used poison to kill 76 members of a loyal family."

"In addition to having an old lover, the Prince of Qin, in Da Chu, Zulia had also been helping the Fourth Prince."

"She went to Daliang and completely devastated Duke Pei, and even wanted the military manual... Was she after this Prince Qin or the Fourth Prince?"

"Or...is it actually for the two of them?"

"I remember Ji Jinxue also said that there were rumors that Zuliya had given birth to a daughter, but she saw with her own eyes that Zuliya drowned her daughter in the river."

"Although there are rumors that her daughter is hidden by her, what if what Ji Jinxue said is true?"

"Is the drowned baby girl really her child?"

"Could it be that, like my life story, she was actually switched, and the child she gave birth to wasn't a daughter but... a son?"

So, if what Ji Jinxue said was true, then the person who drowned in Zuliya that year was actually a princess!

And this Fourth Prince Zong Zheng Wuyou may not be a real prince at all!

Duan Rongshi: "With Zuliya's methods, those who knew the truth back then must have been brutally silenced long ago."

"So, if we want to find out the truth, we must find out whether the Prince of Qin and the Fourth Prince are biological father and son. Then everything will become clear."

Three days later.

Duan Rongshi and Li Qingluo took a carriage and quietly arrived at the Jiang family with a simple carriage holding a letter.

Li Qingluo only found out on the way here that he met the seventh son-in-law of the Jiang family, General Yang Zhonglang, at the trial field on the outskirts of the city.

Duan Rongshi is an outstanding martial arts master with great skills. As soon as he appeared, he attracted the attention of everyone present.

"Whose family is he from?"

"Such remarkable skills, outstanding figure and appearance, how come I haven't seen him before?"

"Isn't he the one vying for this year's top martial arts champion?"

"It's very likely. Otherwise, wouldn't such a person have become famous in Nan'an long ago?"

Only the children of high-ranking officials and nobles can use the trial ground in Nan'an City at will.

Therefore, if ordinary men want to use a fully equipped trial venue, they can only go to the martial arts hall outside Nan'an City.

You only need to pay fifty coins a day to spend the whole day here.

Moreover, the trial site on the outskirts of the city is several times larger than the one inside the city, so it is actually more lively here than inside the city.

It is also a place where some dignitaries and nobles who want to hunt for a skilled guard must come.

On this day, Duan Rongshi's outstanding martial arts skills were instantly noticed by General Yang.

Just as he was about to walk over, two guards rushed forward to give Duan Rongshi a water bag and dry food.

"Master, please drink some water."

"Master, please wipe your sweat."

General Yang: “…”

With a master like this, I'm afraid it's impossible to recruit him to be a guard in the Yang Mansion.

Although General Yang Zhonglang felt a little disappointed, he was still eager to get to know this young man who looked so imposing and impressive.

He picked up a knife at his feet and shouted: "Watch this—"

Then he killed him.

Duan Rongshi was naturally adept at dealing with a small General of the Central Army.

However, after just a dozen moves, General Yang was convinced.

"Who the hell are you?"

"I've never heard of a person like you in our Great Chu."

"Something interesting."

Duan Rongshi: "My name is Li Wu. I'm the Nangong mansion's son-in-law. I'm sorry for being rude just now."

Nangong Mansion, a live-in son-in-law?

Those who were listening to the excitement nearby couldn't help but lean over to listen.

Would such a man with healthy limbs, high martial arts skills, handsome appearance and extraordinary demeanor be willing to be a son-in-law?

Besides, who would be so proud of his status as a son-in-law and make such a fuss about it as if it were some good thing?

Does this man still have any dignity and face as a man?

But wait!

Nangong Mansion?

Could it be the Nangong Mansion of Miss Nangong, who has been in the limelight recently and suddenly opened a women's restaurant?

I didn’t expect that this son-in-law would be such an extraordinary man!
