Chapter 327 It’s done so quickly?
When Shangguan Shangshu was about to leave the court and return home, the two left the teahouse.
Lu Xunhuan gave the fang to Xia Yin.
He didn't know if it would work, but if he didn't find a way to destroy the other party, not only would he be under a huge threat, but Xialou would also be in crisis.
What he needs to do now is that since he has impersonated Cheng Bufan, he must immediately restrict Cheng Bufan's freedom to avoid being exposed.
He didn't care how angry Princess Manman would be or how she would treat Cheng Bufan. He just wanted to achieve his goal quickly.
He traveled quickly all the way to Cheng's house.
After knocking on the door, he said to the servant, "I have a letter to hand over to the princess personally."
After hearing what he said, the servant had no choice but to take him to see Princess Manman.
At this time, at the Cheng Mansion, Chief Secretary Cheng had not yet returned home after retiring from court.
Cheng Bufan was busy with business outside and left early in the morning, so he was not at home either.
After hearing the servant's report, Princess Manman no longer hesitated and asked the servant to take Lu Xunhuan directly to the courtyard where she lived and arranged for him to wait in the study.
After Lu Xunhuan entered the study, Princess Manman sent all the maids away before going to see him.
She sat down opposite Lu Xunhuan and asked, "Have you finished your investigation?"
Lu Xun Huan said, "As the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public. You should consider this matter. You could punish him by not letting him go out for a month, but it's best not to make him shout."
Princess Manman gritted her teeth and said, "Damn it! Can't this princess satisfy him?"
She asked, and when Lu Xunhuan didn't answer, she asked again, "Tell me, in what way is this princess inferior to those outside?"
Lu Xunhuan touched his chin: "This... whether it is harmonious or not, only you two know..."
He took out two pairs of underwear: "One for each of you, as evidence."
Princess Manman looked at the two panties with disdain: "That's too much. Who is that woman?"
Lu Xun Huan advised: "Princess, please calm down, okay? The other party is from the Shangshu Mansion, you also know..."
Princess Manman nodded: "I understand. This is a deliberate attempt to set a trap for Cheng Bufan and embarrass my father."
Lu Xun Huan said, "My Lady, it's good that you understand. What I mean is that you can punish Brother Cheng by forbidding him from leaving the house, but it's best not to shout."
Princess Manman pulled out a silver note worth ten thousand taels from her bosom and handed it to Lu Xunhuan: "Ten thousand taels, to buy that woman's life."
Lu Xun Huan said, "I'm an investigator, not an assassin."
Princess Manman said rudely, "This princess needs you to be an assassin, so you can do it once. You have no choice. Within ten days, I want to hear the news of that woman's death."
Lu Xun Huan accepted the banknote and said, "Alright, I'll do it once, but please keep it a secret, Princess, and don't tell Zi Xia."
Princess Manman said, "Of course."
She stood up and said, "Let's go. Go do your thing. I'll go get Cheng Bufan back. One month isn't enough. You're not allowed to go out for half a year."
After leaving Cheng Mansion, Lu Xunhuan hurried to the area near Shangshu Mansion, found an inn and stayed there.
He hid in the room, practicing and waiting.
As dusk approached, he suddenly heard someone outside say, "Great news! The Minister has suddenly passed away."
He suddenly opened his eyes. Was he dead, so quickly?
This is such a huge surprise. It happened so quickly?
He originally thought that after Xia Yin returned, she might need to make careful plans, which would take at least several days.
That's why he asked Princess Manman to restrict Cheng Bufan from going out to avoid being exposed.
If it happens so quickly, then... Cheng Bufan will have suffered in vain.
He hurried out of the inn and walked towards the street outside the gate of the Shangshu Mansion.
But just as he reached the middle of the alley, at dusk, a woman wearing a headscarf suddenly appeared, pulled him around, and walked forward without looking back.
Of course Lu Xunhuan knew that the woman was Xia Yin.
He took her to the inn and let her hide there temporarily.
Xia Yin hugged him, still trembling slightly.
"Why did you bring me here instead of taking me to hide in your house?"
Lu Xunhuan whispered, "You shouldn't run. If you run, people will immediately know that you were the one who poisoned them."
"Silly girl, if I hide you in my house at this time and someone finds out, will my family be held responsible?"
Xia Yin asked eagerly, "Then where can I hide? You won't go back on your word, will you?"
Lu Xun Huan said, "I estimate that you will be wanted nationwide soon. When it is completely dark, I will take you out of the city and find you a safe place."
Xia Yin nodded and said, "Okay."
She explained, "I had to run. I brewed the tea for the Minister and brought it to him. I put your fangs at the bottom of the tea. I saw him drink it with my own eyes, and I saw him bleed from all seven orifices..."
As she spoke, her whole body began to tremble, as if she was just now feeling the fear.
Lu Xun Huan hugged her and gave her some comfort: "Well done, don't be afraid, I'm here..."
As long as the president of the Immortal Friends Association is killed, many problems will be solved and the threat from the president will be eliminated.
He could even openly impersonate the young master and command all the immortal friends in the world without even having to cover up because no one knew he was fake.
In his heart, he was already laughing.
He didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
Late at night, he changed Xia Yin into a black outfit.
Then, he took her and escaped from Changzhou City without anyone noticing.
When they were far away from the city wall, he unfolded his magic weapon and flew eastward with Xia Yin.
Xia Yin stood on the magic weapon, facing the whistling wind, and asked in surprise: "Mr. Cheng, are you still a cultivator? The red magic weapon is said to be very advanced. The owner must be extremely powerful?"
Lu Xunhuan said, "Don't talk, get out of danger first."
He took Xia Yin and headed eastward. Three days later, they arrived at Longzhou City, the capital of Dongyan.
Xia Yin looked at the huge city wall curiously and asked, "Master Cheng, where on earth did you bring me to? This city is so huge, it looks almost the same size as Changzhou City."
Lu Xun Huan smiled and said, "If you have the chance to marry His Majesty as a concubine, would you choose me or His Majesty?"
Xia Yin was surprised again: "What, Your Majesty?"
Only then did she notice the huge words "Longzhou" on the city wall: "Longzhou...Longzhou City...Did you bring me to the capital of Dongyan?"
Lu Xun Huan said, "Yes, if you are willing to marry His Majesty, it's just a matter of a word from me. Consider it and go into the city first."
He took Xia Yin to the city gate.
A general guarding the city recognized him, and with a mixture of surprise and joy, he hurriedly half-knelt and saluted: "General...you're back?"
Lu Xun Huan pulled the general up and said, "Well, you followed me and conquered Kyoto City, making great contributions. Why are you assigned to guard the gate?"
The general complained: "Oh, General, you don't know..."
"His Majesty asked you to be the Minister of War, but you despised it and ran away. His Majesty, in order to find you, arranged for those of us who knew you to guard the city gates. If we see you, we must report it immediately."
He turned to a soldier and said, "Ride faster, report to the palace, the general has returned."
The soldier said "Yes, sir," jumped on his horse, and galloped away.
Lu Xunhuan called him too late: "Hey... come back..."
The general held him by the arm, fearing he would run away again: "General, let's go, let's go and see His Majesty."
He called out to Xia Yin, "Beautiful girl, follow me."
Lu Xunhuan followed the general into the city gate and asked, "Are you going to be rewarded handsomely?"
The general chuckled and said, "Thanks to the general, I can be promoted to the third rank."
Lu Xun Huan turned around and asked Xia Yin, "You can be free here. How is it? Do you regret helping me?"
Xia Yin naturally understood that he was not Cheng Bufan.
But if I can be free here, without any threat to my life, and can marry His Majesty, what does it matter whether he is Cheng Bufan or not?
She took his other arm and said, "General, I have chosen the right person. God is blessing me."
Lu Xun Huan asked her, "Have you thought about it?"
Xia Yin asked, "Are you going to go out and run around again?"
Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Yes."
Xia Yin said shyly, "Then... I... will be your concubine... and you can speak well of me in front of His Majesty."
Lu Xun Huan introduced her to the general, "The daughter of the Minister of War of Western Chu, she hates the tyranny of the Western Chu royal family and is willing to come to me to seek refuge with Eastern Yan."
The general said, "Abandon the dark and join the light. Good! My Eastern Yan will surely destroy Western Chu and unify the world in the future."
