After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

Inside Zuiyuexuan.

Li Qingqing had changed into night clothes and disguised herself as a man. Under the cover of night, she quietly ran towards Mr. Liu's mansion.

Xie Xuan'an and Zhou Yimo were waiting in Zuiyuexuan.

"Mr. Zhou, please have some tea." Xie Xuan'an sat down and gestured with a smile.

"Thank you." Zhou Yimo's face was calm.

"Xie brother, if the source of the information is reliable, there will definitely be good news in another hour!"

Xie Xuan'an nodded, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, then looked up at Zhou Yimo.

"Mr. Zhou, I hope you can help me solve my doubts." Xie Xuan'an was straightforward as soon as he spoke.

Zhou Yimo knew what he wanted to ask and said slowly:

"It's said that Second Young Master Xie of Anyuan Marquisate in Kyoto is a dandy and unruly person, but few people know that he's skilled in business. He has a close personal relationship with Third Prince Mu Yunjing and is a major contributor to his wealth."

Since Xie Xuan'an asked directly, he just answered it directly.

In addition to the occasional mentions of this information to Zhou by his father when he was alive, most of it came from private conversations between Dean Bai and him.

"So I think Brother Xie must have come to Qiushui Town to look for the Third Prince."

When Xie Xuan'an heard this, his peach blossom eyes flashed. He was about to speak when he suddenly heard the voice of the shopkeeper Qi coming from outside the door.

"Young Master, several guests have requested to see you, claiming they have urgent matters to discuss. I have arranged for them to wait in the private room."

Xie Xuan felt relieved and looked at Zhou Yimo: "Mr. Zhou, please have some tea. I will be right back."

Zhou Yimo nodded to indicate that he understood.

After a while, Xie Xuan'an came back in a hurry.

He showed a happy expression: "Brother Zhou, is the Third Prince at your house now?"

Zhou Yimo was slightly startled, thinking that Xie Xuanan must have gotten the news, so he said, "He's at the student's home."

Xie Xuanan: ...

He suddenly felt that he had been too careless before. Zuiyuexuan's 20% profit was just given away like that.

Xie Xuan'an looked at Zhou Yimo with some resentment.

I thought to myself: I hope Miss Li can steal the evidence back, otherwise it will be a big loss.

At this time, Li Qingqing had quietly entered the secret room under the protection of the guards.

The secret room was a little dim. Several luminous pearls were inlaid around the walls of the secret room, emitting a faint light that could barely illuminate the entire space.

Li Qingqing's eyes quickly and carefully swept across every corner of the secret room. She didn't see any books or account books, only many wooden boxes placed on the ground.

The wooden box looks heavy, I wonder what's inside it.

She walked forward and opened one of the wooden boxes out of curiosity, and found that it was filled with a box of silver.

Li Qingqing was a little surprised. She looked around and checked the other wooden boxes again. There were twelve wooden boxes in total, and they were all full of silver.

Wow! Five thousand taels for one wooden box, a total of sixty thousand taels of silver!

If I don’t take away these people’s money, I would be betraying my conscience.

Li Qingqing put all the silver into the space without hesitation, leaving only twelve empty boxes in the secret room.

Li Qingqing continued to search in the secret room.

She always felt that there couldn't be only this silver in the secret room, there must be some mechanism.

Li Qingqing searched for a long time and finally found an invisible small door behind one of the wooden boxes.

You can't see it at all if you don't pay attention.

She was delighted and pushed the door open carefully. Sure enough, there was another secret room in front of her.

However, there was no silver in this secret room, nor were there any account books or volumes.

There were actually swords piled up everywhere, even hanging on the walls.

Li Qingqing's eyes slowly swept over the swords.

These swords are not only well-made, but also all brand new. You can tell at a glance that they have been carefully crafted.

Li Qingqing was shocked. Was Mr. Liu plotting a rebellion? Or was he smuggling weapons?

At this moment, she heard more intense fighting outside.

Since there was no account book here, she didn't bother to look at the weapons and hurried back.

Just as she arrived at the first secret room where the silver had been placed, she suddenly heard faint footsteps outside the door.

Li Qingqing was startled and quickly hid in the space.

In the space, she saw the door of the secret room being pushed open, and Mr. Liu, dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, hurried in.

Li Qingqing's eyes flashed. She had been wrong. It turned out that Mr. Liu was a hidden talent. He was actually a master.

Mr. Liu looked around and found that the twelve wooden boxes were still there, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he went straight to one of the wooden boxes, opened the small door at the back and got in.

Li Qingqing took this opportunity to quickly slip out of the space and rushed out of the study.

As soon as Li Qingqing arrived at the study, someone attacked her with a palm strike.

She swayed and quickly avoided the palm wind.

so close!

Li Qingqing secretly felt fortunate. If she hadn't reacted quickly, she would have been in a passive position.

At this time, she found that the eight guards had already left, and the ten masters outside were in conflict with Governor Qian's men.

Li Qingqing didn't dare to delay at all. She wanted to take advantage of the chaos outside and escape quickly.

She adjusted her body and continued to fly out.

However, just as she was about to rush out of the study, the man followed her like a shadow, his figure flashed, and he began to attack her like a ghost, blocking her escape.

This person's martial arts skills are actually better than hers? !

Li Qingqing was speechless. Didn’t Xie Huli say that the strength of the ten masters was comparable to that of the black-clad killers of the East Palace Guards?

How can this be comparable?

His strength is much higher than that of the leader of the East Palace Guards!

Li Qingqing was afraid of exposing her target, so she didn't dare to draw her weapon to fight, but she couldn't lure this person to Zuiyuexuan either.

She had no choice but to hide in the space and wait and see what would happen.

The man in the study was slightly stunned, as if he didn't understand why the person who was just in front of him suddenly disappeared.

"Come out, I know you are here." The man looked around, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.

But there was no movement in the study.

In the secret room, Mr. Liu came out.

When this person saw Mr. Liu, he hurriedly reported:

"Master, someone just came out of the secret room and suddenly disappeared. I was unable to stop him. Please forgive me, Master."

"Oh?" Mr. Liu narrowed his eyes, and a hint of fierce and gloomy aura flashed across his sunken cheeks.

"Ghost Eagle, can't even stop you?"

"Master, this man seems to be proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia. I really can't do anything about him." Ghost Eagle continued to report, his voice calm.

Mr. Liu remained silent, and suddenly as if he thought of something, he hurried into the secret room again.

The man followed closely behind.

Seeing the two of them enter the dark room, Li Qingqing seized the opportunity, slipped out of the space silently, and quickly left the study.

At this time, in Zuiyuexuan, Xie Xuan'an and Zhou An were anxiously waiting for Li Qingqing.

The eight guards had completed their mission and had already returned to report.

Xie Xuan'an and Zhou Yimo only knew that Governor Qian was successfully lured over and was in conflict with ten masters.

Li Qingqing, who should have returned long ago, has not shown up yet.
