Zhu Bujue found it very strange. The scope of the Demon Sect's activities had never included the northern part of Great Ming.
Why would Bian Bufu appear near the capital?
His intelligence network was spread all over the world, especially near the capital. Not even a fly could hide.
However, Bian Bufu and the others had disappeared without a trace after showing their heads. This made Zhu Bujue feel that something was wrong.
Just as Zhu Buduan was puzzled by Bian Buzhou's disappearance.
Empress Yin, Zhu Yuyan, who was far away in the Great Tang, also found it strange.
It had been a long time since she last contacted Bian Buzhou.
By right, Bian Bufu should have already contacted Huanhuan.
Regardless of whether Huanhuan's mission was successful or not, Bian Bufu should give him a reply.
But after so long, no matter if it was Huanhuan, Bian Bufu or Bai Qing 'er, they had not sent her any messages.
This made Zhu Yuyan feel strange.
Could it be that Chenchen didn't control Prince Xiaoming? Or were they in some kind of trouble?
Zhu Yuyan could not help but feel slightly worried.
She had no time to spare, and the news of Evil King Shi Zhixuan made her afraid to leave the Great Tang.
In addition, Chenchen had gathered more than half of the Yin Sunflower Sect's forces and had the assistance of the Grandmaster Bian Bufu. It should not be a problem for them to control Prince Xiaoming.
Zhu Yuyan had confidence in Huanhuan. As the most outstanding disciple in the history of the Yin Sunflower Sect, Huanhuan's Heavenly Demon Dance was no weaker than hers.
It was not a problem to charm a useless prince.
While Zhu Yuyan was feeling worried, Huanhuan was diligently warming the wine for her master.
Mantuo Villa was located on a small island in Lake Tai.
Although it was called a villa, it was actually a villa on an island in the middle of a lake. It was just that this villa occupied a larger area.
At this moment, Zhu Houwei was sitting on the boat, admiring the beautiful scenery of Taihu Lake.
Lake Tai was rippling with light. A gentle breeze ruffled the surface of the lake. From time to time, silver fish would jump out of the water and create ripples.
Zhu Houwei's purpose for coming to Mantuo Villa this time was not to admire the flowers.
As a transmigrator, he was naturally here for the Langhuan Jade Cave.
Moreover, the owner of Mantuo Villa, Li Qingluo, was a disciple of Carefree Sect.
Back when the Carefree Sect had fallen apart, Li Qingluo had emptied out Langye Blessed Land under Sword Lake Palace.
A large number of martial arts techniques of the Carefree Sect were brought to Mantuo Villa by him.
Although the collection of books here could not compare to the inner palace arsenal, the oddities they dabbled in were also very meaningful for Zhu Houwei to learn from.
If he could check the martial arts manuals here, it would be very beneficial to his martial arts cultivation.
As the Prince of Great Ming, Prince Xiaoming naturally couldn't personally go up to the door to greet him, so Gu Dayong took the initiative to inform him.
Logically speaking, this Mantuo Villa was within the Great Ming Empire. Even if Zhu Houwei kicked the door open and entered, no one could say anything.
However, Zhu Houwei felt that since he was walking in the martial world, he naturally had to talk about the rules of the martial world.
This was a rare moment for him to be reasonable.
Gu Dayong came to the main gate of the villa with Prince Xiaoming's visiting card in his hand.
The red door was tightly shut. Gu Dayong knocked for a long time before an old woman came out to answer.
"Who dares to be impudent in my Mantuo Villa?”
An old woman came out from the side door. After sizing Gu Dayong up, she opened her mouth and questioned him.
This made Gu Dayong angry, but in order to complete the king's order, Gu Dayong didn't act on impulse.
After all, he was a servant and could not affect his master's important matters.
"Old granny is reasonable. My master wants to visit the master of this place, so I'll have to ask old granny to pass the message on his behalf.”
Gu Dayong's attitude was respectful. He was also a eunuch under the king.
The Prime Minister was a seventh-grade official, and he was a fifth-grade pen-wielding eunuch under Prince Xiaoming.
It was reasonable to say that he was being polite enough to treat a pious old woman like this.
Unfortunately, when people wanted to court death, there was no time to judge.
"What old granny? I'm the manager of the villa, Granny Yan. I have a name and a surname.”
Being called an old granny made Granny Yan unhappy.
Mantuo Villa had a high status in the Jianghu near Taihu Lake. The surrounding Jianghu sects gave the villa owner a lot of face.
Therefore, old women like them were respected by the people of Jianghu when they were outside. This made Granny Yan feel that she had a status in Jianghu.
If ordinary people came to the villa and were not very respectful to her, Granny Yan would usually not give them a good face.
In the long run, Granny Yan had misjudged her status.
"Greetings, Granny Yan. I was too presumptuous.”
"Granny Yan, please know that my master is Prince Xiaoming of the current dynasty.”
Gu Dayong was ridiculed by an old woman, and the anger in his heart rose.
However, his profound martial arts cultivation still restrained himself very well.
He didn't argue with the old hag, but reported Prince Xiaoming's identity so that the old hag would know who the visitor was and not delay the important matter.
"Hmph, so what if it's Prince Xiaoming?"
"My master's husband is the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Wang Yuanhou.”
"You, a useless prince, want to use your name to suppress me? I'm afraid that my lord will make him suffer!”
Even after Gu Dayong mentioned his master's name, Granny Yan still refused to pass on the message.
On the contrary, his words were disrespectful to Prince Xiaoming. Not only that, he even used the high officials of the court to suppress him.
Gu Dayong narrowed his eyes, his entire body emitting a dangerous aura.
He was a eunuch, and his life was that of a slave.
As long as he was alive, his life belonged to his master.
Prince Xiaoming had given him a new lease of life, so as a slave, how could he allow others to insult his lord?
"What are you doing!"
"I'm warning you, don't forget what this place is.”
"This isn't something you can do…Ah…"
Granny Yan saw Gu Dayong's Qi surging and knew that he had angered him.
However, the old woman was not afraid. The tall servant in front of her looked like an external expert.
He had cultivated martial arts all his life, and he was not to be trifled with.
If the other party made a move, he could stop them and chase them away.
This way, he could avoid Prince Xiaoming's request to enter the villa and hide the secrets under the tea flowers.
It turned out that there was a secret behind Granny Yan stopping Gu Dayong and Prince Xiaoming from entering the villa.
As the local tyrant of Gusu, the Wang Clan naturally knew that Prince Xiaoming had come to Suzhou.
At the same time, Granny Yan also knew that Prince Xiaoming's team had Jinyiwei, Hulong Mountain Villa, and Six Fan School's masters.
Not long ago, Madam had just processed a pile of fresh flower fertilizer. Naturally, she could not let these people enter the villa to prevent them from discovering any clues.
Otherwise, it would affect Lord Wang's career in the imperial court.
As for whether or not he would offend Prince Xiaoming?
Heh.
He was just a wanton and pleasure-seeking prince. So what if he offended him? Perhaps he could even help Lord Wang clear his name.
Just as Granny Yan warned Gu Dayong, the latter's anger was already full.
"Seamless Space, Asura Space!"
Gu Dayong hated this old woman.
Not only did the other party make it impossible for him to complete his mission, but he also insulted his master, forcing him to kill him.
Gu Dayong wanted to kill himself to apologize for humiliating his highness.
The twin sabers at her waist were drawn out, and Granny Yan's eyes shone like silver flowers.
By the time the blade light passed, Granny Yan had already turned into a field of flowers. Each piece was the size of a mahjong tile and was very uniform.
