"Yes, he was a good-for-nothing for more than ten years, and then suddenly he shone brightly, which makes people suspicious."

"Your Majesty, you should also be wary of those eight."

Long Yunfu nodded and said, "I will be absent from court for the next two days on the pretext of illness. Please bear with me."

Wei Zhong said, "To be on the safe side, I think we should blockade the Huai River basin."

Long Yunfu said, "This is necessary. When Lao Jiu was leaving Beijing, he suggested that I blockade the Huai River line."

"Oh?" Wei Zhong felt relieved and bowed to take his leave.

As he was leaving, he whispered, "Yunfu, although we are aunt and niece, we are like brothers. Is there something I can say to you?"

“Uncle, this position was won for me through blood and sweat. I will listen to your words.”

Wei Zhong sighed and said, "The whispers of the pillow are often invincible, especially the whispers of a loved one, which are even more irresistible."

Upon hearing this, Long Yunfu blushed and said, "Two days, just two days. I won't see anyone. I'll just wait for news from Lishui."

……

In that era, communication was slow; even carrier pigeons were only slightly faster than modern cars. Long Bin was naturally unaware of what was happening in the capital, but being well-versed in history, he could guess what his eight brothers were up to.

It was late at night, and after finishing his official business, he called in his childhood friend, Song Zhonglin.

“King Nan, you guessed right. Hu Deren’s true colors have been revealed.”

The skinny Song Zhonglin, nicknamed "Monkey," is a second-rank martial arts master. He is the bodyguard of the deceased Long Bin and also his childhood friend.

The monkey took out two slips of paper and handed them to Long Bin.

The two notes contained the same text, which essentially recounted the great victory at Lishui City and the unknown fate of the Third Prince of Dongjiang.

The monkey said, "Hu Deren released two carrier pigeons, and we caught them both."

As he spoke, he handed over another slip of paper, saying, "This is from the carrier pigeon that flew into the Hu residence."

The note read: First, prepare to receive the Third Prince's men into the city; second, be wary of the capital sending people to Lishui; and third, devise more evidence of the useless Ninth Prince's collusion with Xiang Yu.

Long Bin frowned and asked, "Where are the carrier pigeons?"

"I brought it."

The monkey took three carrier pigeons out of his bag. When Long Bin saw the copper rings on the pigeons' feet, a memory suddenly flashed through his mind.

Half a year ago, the bastard Long Bin stole some of the pigeons from the Second Prince's house, some of which had copper rings attached.

"Long Yingkun, it really is you!" Long Bin thought through gritted teeth, "The day I return to the capital will be the day you perish."

A murderous aura suddenly arose from Long Bin, causing the monkey to stick out its tongue in disbelief: This King of the South has truly deceived the world.

“Your Majesty the King of the South, Hu Deren cannot be allowed to live. We do not know his other means of contact, and the fact that he only used carrier pigeons has caught us off guard.”

Long Bin nodded and said, "I know this person cannot stay long. I have other arrangements for this matter. You should go back immediately, hide yourself, and prepare to act as a secret agent for a long time."

Long Bin stretched and got into the carriage to return to the inn.

Ma Gui had booked the entire inn, and guided by two palace maids, they arrived at the main room in the back courtyard.

Upon arriving at the upper courtyard, Long Bin said, "Pass down the message that I am going into seclusion to practice my martial arts and should not be disturbed."

The palace maid bowed and withdrew, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

Long Bin has a keen eye for observation. He noticed the palace maid's mischievous smile and seemed to be confused about her life.

This was a two-story attic. After opening the bronze door and entering the main hall, he suddenly smelled the fragrance of osmanthus, which made him tense up: Why does my house smell like a woman? And it smells so familiar?

He pondered carefully: Since it's not Blue Moon, whose is this?

Following the scent, he pushed open the door to the master bedroom on the second floor. The scene that immediately greeted him both astonished and thrilled him.

He was quite surprised to see women's clothes scattered on the ground: how could ancient women be more casual than modern women?

"What's going on? How come there's a woman sleeping in my house, and it's such a mess?"

Although this is a temporary residence, it is, after all, the residence of the Southern King, so security is certainly very strict, and outsiders should not be able to enter.

However, the room was filled with women's clothes, and a beautiful young woman was fast asleep on the bed.

Full of surprise, he couldn't help but look at the woman on the bed, a strand of long hair cascading down her shoulder like a waterfall.

The butterfly-shaped quilt partially covered her body, revealing her flawless, fair skin in a way that was both concealed and exposed, causing one's heart to skip a beat.

Especially her slender waist and graceful figure caused Long Bin's nose to bleed.

Having come into this world, in this life he has yet to...

"No, get out of here right now, or you'll be trapped."

But just as she was about to back away, the beautiful woman moved, the blanket slid to the floor, and her alluring figure on the bed was revealed.

"Oh my god, this is killing me."

Long Bin quickly closed his eyes and turned around. Miao Nu murmured a few times, rubbed her eyes, and was about to get up when she suddenly saw a man's back. Startled, she jumped off the bed with a scream.

She hurriedly grabbed the blanket to cover herself and asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you? How did you get in?"

Long Bin, slightly out of breath, said from outside the bedroom door, "Hurry up and get dressed. Go back to where you came from. This is my home."

"Your home?" The beautiful woman was startled, but after checking herself, she found that she had not been violated and felt somewhat relieved.

Long Bin walked out of the room, went up to the roof, and asked the man in black guarding the roof in a deep voice.

Who's in my room?

"My lady, she is the eldest daughter of the Wang family in Hainan."

"The King of the South Sea?" The memories left behind by the dead ghost included his interactions with the King of the South Sea's family.

"Xiao Rong?" Long Bin suddenly chuckled, "Why is she here?"

"It is said that the old prince ordered Princess Rong to find you."

Long Bin went straight downstairs to rest quietly, and the sound of his footsteps echoed down the stairs.

A moment later, a girl in pajamas stood in front of me. Although she was disheveled and without makeup, she was still as beautiful as an angel.

Only then did the girl see Long Bin's face clearly, and she exclaimed happily, "Brother, you're back!"

Long Bin pretended not to be puzzled and asked, "Who are you?"

The girl exclaimed excitedly, "Brother, it's me, Xiao Rong!"

Seeing that he was still confused, she muttered disappointedly, "How come you don't even recognize me?"

"Xiao Rong? My younger sister?"

Three years have passed, and the girl from back then has grown into a beautiful young woman, graceful and elegant.

"Girls really do change a lot as they grow up," Long Bin sighed. "She's finally grown into a young woman."

When Xiao Rong saw that her brother recognized her, she opened her arms and rushed over to hug him tightly.

"Brother, I've missed you so much."

Long Bin is a modern person, so he doesn't care about this.

However, we live in ancient times, and for a young woman to suddenly hug a man is a very serious matter.

This is way too open! Even in the early 80s of my previous life, it wasn't this open.

Long Binjie said, bewildered, "Little sister, you're all grown up now, you can't do this anymore."

Xiao Rong released her arms and stepped back, blushing as she said, "You're so polite."
