The martial world was already in an uproar because of the invitation from the WuTang Sect.
Prince Xiaoming, who had been ordered to represent the imperial court at the birthday banquet of Wudang Sect, had no idea.
In Suzhou, Zhu Houwei was waiting for the meal to start in an inn. He was looking forward to today's meal.
It was all because of the small figure who was busy in the kitchen.
At this moment, Huang Rong was working hard to cook with the chef of the Prince's mansion. There were all kinds of animals, seafood, and mushrooms on the chopping board.
As a child who had no mother since she was young, Huang Rong knew how to cook by herself since she was young.
Life on Peach Blossom Island was very monotonous. Other than her father, Huang Laoxie, there was only a mute servant and a maidservant.
Huang Rong, who had nothing to do, began to learn how to cook delicious food by herself. After a while, she actually became a good cook.
Her culinary skills had even received the recognition of the chef from the Prince's mansion.
Since he had met Huang Rong, there was no reason not to eat her cooking.
After Zhu Houwei heard the chef's affirmation, he immediately threw Huang Rong into the kitchen.
He also warned Huang Rong that if she ran away, he would kill Chef and his wife.
Of course, this was Zhu Houwei's threat. Not to mention that the chef was loyal to him, Huang Rong could not escape unless Gu Da was no longer useful.
Huang Rong took Zhu Houwei's threat seriously.
In order to prevent Zhu Houwei from making things difficult for the cook couple, he not only worked hard to prepare meals for them.
Even when he faced Zhu Houwei, he no longer looked at him coldly.
Recently, he had not escaped even once.
This made Zhu Houwei feel that this girl had a conscience. Chef had not taught her everything he had learned in his life in vain.
Shangguan Haitang had been doing one thing these days, and that was to sort out what she had seen and heard along the way.
When she had followed Prince Xiaoming to Jiangnan, her foster father, Zhu Bujue, had given her a mission, which was to find out everything about Prince Xiaoming.
What Shangguan Haitang saw and heard along the way could only be described as being shocked.
Prince Xiaoming wasn't like what people thought.
There were many experts hidden around Prince Xiaoming.
Prince Xiaoming was cruel, licentious, extravagant, and so on.
Shangguan Haitang wrote down everything she had seen and heard on a piece of paper in secret.
She was prepared to send it to the capital through the intelligence network of the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa. She believed that her foster father had been waiting for her secret text for a long time.
The secret text was written on a piece of elastic silk, which was rolled up like a pill.
Shangguan Haitang used the excuse of going out shopping to pass a medicine shop and handed the secret text to the shopkeeper.
This was a stronghold of the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa. The shopkeepers and waiters in the medicine shop were all from the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa, and they were in charge of collecting information about Suzhou.
After Shangguan Haitang passed on the information, she returned to the inn and waited for her foster father's next instructions.
However, she would have to wait for this instruction for a long time.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the information had already reached Jiang Yuyan's hands.
The medicine shop had also changed owners. As for where the original people had gone, it was obvious.
Jiang Yuyan was not a kind-hearted person.
"Master, this Shangguan Haitang has been following us around, receiving a large amount of silver every day, but now she is betraying us. Do you want this servant to kill her to vent your anger for you?”
Zhu Houwei looked at the secret report and did not say anything for a long time. Jiang Yuyan thought that he must have been furious and wanted to share his worries.
"Yan 'er, don't be so cruel. That woman is obviously brainless.”
"This king doesn't want to live anymore if he's calculative with this kind of person. A good life is waiting for this king to enjoy, how can he shout and kill over such a small matter.”
Zhu Houwei expressed that he had nothing to do and casually threw the secret report to the side.
In his opinion, Shangguan Haitang's actions were not against him, but to do things impartially.
After all, he was a secret agent of the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa.
Zhu Houwei knew that the four secret agents of the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa were responsible for monitoring the officials.
Of course, this role was only given to them by Zhu Bujue. There was no record of them in Emperor Zheng De and the various yamen of the imperial court.
Even so, the four great secret agents were still loyal to the Great Ming Dynasty in their hearts. This was because when Zhu Bujue had first raised them, he had been promoting the idea of loyalty to the Great Ming Dynasty.
After all, Zhu Bujue could not openly cultivate his own power.
If Zhu Houzhao knew that Zhu Bujue was cultivating a force that was loyal to him alone…
Even Divine Marquis Vajra would have died 10,000 times by now.
Shangguan Haitang and the others were completely used by Zhu Bujue, and all kinds of missions were beautified as Big Ming. To put it bluntly, they were fooled.
Zhu Houwei had always thought that the four secret agents were a bunch of idiots who couldn't see through the truth.
Not only was he stupid, but he was also self-righteous and always felt that he was loyal to the Daming Empire.
They always felt that they were doing something meaningful, but in fact, most of what they were doing was Zhu Bujue's preparation for rebellion.
However, Da Ming really needed these people.
The reason why he didn't agree to Jiang Yuyan's suggestion was because he felt that having such a funny person by his side would add a lot of fun to his boring life.
Of course, it was also related to Shangguan Haitang's good looks.
The women around Zhu Houwei rarely had such heroic existences.
At the same time, Zhu Houwei was also looking forward to it, hoping that Shangguan Haitang would find out that his most respected foster father had been painstakingly plotting to overthrow Da Ming.
He wondered what kind of expression she would have at that time.
Just thinking about this matter made Zhu Houwei feel that it was interesting.
In this world, the only person who knew the true face of Zhu Lian was probably the emperor.
Even Zhu Bujue's old rival, Cao Zhengchun, didn't know that the Iron Gut Divine Marquis had been working hard to become the Emperor.
If Eunuch Cao were to find out, he would most likely rush to the Divine Constabulary in the middle of the night and kill Zhu Bujue.
After all, if Zhu Bujue became the emperor, the first one to be killed would definitely be him, Cao Zhengchun.
As for Zhu Houwei himself, he knew that the other party would rebel when he heard the name of the Iron-guts Divine Marquis.
Now, Zhu Houwei had absolute confidence that as long as Zhu Bujue dared to make a move, he would be able to crush the other party to death in the first instance.
"Your Highness, the Murong Clan of Gusu has come to pay a visit!”
Just as he was thinking about something, the eunuch's report came from outside the door.
Gusu Murong? Why did he come to visit him at this time?
Wasn't that Murong Bo plotting a rebellion against Jiang Bie He? This was a rat acting as a cat's escort. Did he not want his life?
