Chapter 225 - The current middle canal Emperor is in danger

After Wu Shang heard this, he took the Dark Jade Tiger Talisman that symbolized the authority of the Shezhengwang's Palace and went to Baili Yi Chen's royal study.

After Wu Shang left, only then did Baili Mingyue turn back. When he saw the note in his hand, his expression was extremely cold and his heart was a mess.

On that slip of paper, there were two pieces of information. These two pieces of information were both about Hong Zhong, but they were all information that he could not comprehend.

The first message on the letter read, Hong Zhong, named Feng Wuyou, is one of the Four Young Masters of the world, and Hong Zhong's name, is just for the sake of paralyzing Baili Royal Family?

As a politician who held great power and had held a high position for many years, he was keenly aware of the abnormality within this message.

Hong Zhong's identity, was fake. She was not Hong Zhong, but Feng Wuyou!

What was going on?

Telling him now, that girl's identity was fake, her real name was Feng Wuyou, then did this matter just seem like a coincidence on the surface, or was it a scheme by the heavily armed General Zhenguo Hong Tian?

If it was just a coincidence, then how would it explain Hong Zhong becoming one of the Four Young Masters of the Navy Tide Continent's most mysterious identity, the Young Master Wuyou? Ordinary family, who would let their daughter have such a complicated background!

Then, there can only be one explanation for this matter — General Zhenguo was the one who planned all this!

If this matter was really plotted by Hong Tian, then what was his motive for plotting so many things?

Many years ago, he had sent people to investigate the situation of Hong Tian's family as well as the situation in the Jinzhou City. However, when the people who came back reported the news, there was nothing abnormal.

If he did not investigate this matter personally, he was afraid that he would not be able to find out anything!

The other thing that he was worried about was that little girl, who had quite a few peach blossoms along the way, had actually provoked Dong Heng, and even provoked some "heartless" fiancé?

Of course, the main reason he was worried wasn't because of "Wuqing" his fiancé, but because that girl didn't follow his plans to meet the Jinzhou City. Instead, she had changed directions midway and rushed to the Zhonghe City, seeking the Herba Brassicae. According to the route, he would probably have reached middle canal by now!

Whether she was Hong Zhong or Feng Wuyou, it was impossible for him to give her up.

For her safety, he had to go and take a look!

… ….

Feng Wuyou followed the young servant and entered the City Lord's Mansion.

Along the way, there were countless of pavilions and buildings. The arrangement of the potted plants in the yard was also extremely exquisite, revealing a sense of tranquility and beauty.

As Feng Wuyou walked, she realized that no one was walking, and her curiosity towards the City Lord grew.

The servant led Feng Wuyou to the front door of the inner courtyard and saw a forty year old middle-aged man standing in front of the courtyard. When he saw Feng Wuyou and the others, he nodded and said: "This is Young Master Wuyou, I am Ling Zhi, the butler of the city lord's mansion, I am in charge of receiving everyone."

"Greetings, Butler Ling." Feng Wuyou replied politely.

Ling Zhi smiled at Hong Zhong, then slowly spoke out: "It's like this, our City Lord likes peace and quiet, only two of you can enter the inner city, if not, he will not meet any of you. Of course, all of you can try, but you all can take the consequences."

Hearing that, Feng Wuyou was startled.

It was obvious that the mayor didn't want her to bring in any unnecessary people, which was why he made such a rule. However, it was also because of this rule that if she were to encounter any danger after entering, even if she sent a message, it would be problematic, let alone finding someone to help her! " Butler Ling, how about you allow us to discuss this matter? "

"Sure thing!" Ling Zhi smiled faintly and made a gesture of invitation.

Wu Hen said with a stern face. It was obvious that he had thought of the question for Feng Wuyou as well, and thought for a while. "I feel that we can only send two people in, and it won't be safe!" The issue of safety was the sole responsibility of him following Feng Wuyou, and was his first concern.

Secondly, even though Feng Wuyou was dressed in men's clothes, she was still a woman. It wasn't appropriate for a man like him to follow her closely.

But amongst the women, there were only Lv Luo and Mo Xi. Lv Luo didn't mention anything, but she knew that she had to protect herself with her martial arts. As for Mo Xi, although he was the Poison Fairy, it was rumored that the Zhonghe City City Lord had a weird temper. There were countless traps in the city, but with a little girl following his really made people worry.

Feng Wuyou thought for a while, and finally made a decision: "We still have to follow the rules, we are here to seek help from others."

When Wu Hen heard this, his brows furrowed for a moment. In the end, he said helplessly, "If you insist on doing so, then let me follow you inside." Although it was inconvenient for a man like him to stay by his side, it was better than losing his life!

Since he had received his master's order to protect her safety, he naturally had to put her life first!

Hearing that, Feng Wuyou shook her head: "No need, I will take Xiao Lie with me now. All of you wait in the outer court. You're not allowed to trespass without my permission.

"Young master!" Wu Hen was anxious, he still wanted to say something.

Feng Wuyou raised her hand, interrupting his words, and said resolutely: "Wu Hen, you don't need to persuade me anymore, I have already made my decision. Furthermore, asking you to stay here, is not to let you have nothing to do. There is still a very important matter that I want you to take care of.

Wu Hen's expression became somewhat embarrassed after being interrupted by her, but after hearing what Hong Zhong said, he calmed down a little. "What do you want us to do?"

Feng Wuyou gave a bland laugh as she pulled the few of them to the side. She muttered some instructions for a while before turning her head to look at Xiao Lie, "Xiao Lie, you've said before that you will do whatever I tell you to do. This is the first time I've brought you along to do something since you've followed me, don't mind showing me your strength?"

Hearing that, a rare smile appeared on Xiao Lie's innocent face, and he nodded: "Of course I don't mind!" Ever since he followed her, he realized that although Feng Wuyou was very carefree, occasionally she was even a little crazy, but she was actually a good person.

"Then it's decided. Let's go!" After Feng Wuyou finished speaking, she patted Xiao Lie's shoulders and brought him to the door which was far inside.

Seeing that the few of them had reached an agreement, Ling Zhi smiled at Feng Wuyou and Xiao Lie, and pushed open the main door of the inner courtyard: "Young Noble, please, the City Lord is waiting for you inside."

What entered his sight was a quiet bamboo forest. A quiet path passed through the forest.

The sound of rustling bamboo trees could be heard as a breeze blew past.

Everything seemed so calm and at ease.

However, Feng Wuyou and the rest understood that this calmness was only on the surface.

Just as Feng Wuyou was about to walk in, she was pulled by Xiao Lie and walked in first. Feng Wuyou was startled, and shook her head helplessly, as she followed in Xiao Lie's footsteps.

Xiao Lie walked in front of Feng Wuyou and observed his surroundings vigilantly: "Since I have decided to follow you, then you will be my master. Master, you follow behind me, if there is anything abnormal or dangerous, you can turn around and return.

Hearing this, Feng Wuyou looked at Xiao Lie's somewhat young and tender back with a smile. This little guy, even though he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, he could still understand to be loyal and protect his master.

Then, he waved the fan in his hand and raised his eyebrows as he slowly said, "You've already said it yourself. I'm the master, how can a master walk behind a follower? Go stay behind me, don't block my path and pretend to be strong!"

With that, he waved the fan in his hand and strutted down the quiet path in the bamboo forest.

Xiao Lie looked at Feng Wuyou's back, and the corner of her mouth twitched: "Young Master, I'm a servant, I should have taken the lead."

Feng Wuyou waved his fan while softly saying, "You're a servant, that's right. But the life of a servant is also his life, and it was also raised by his father's mother.

After Xiao Lie heard these words, he clearly paused for a moment. It was unknown if it was because of this unusual idea of Feng Wuyou's that moved him, or because of her words, making him think of her mother who had just passed away.

Within her childish eyes, a glimmer of water gradually appeared.

What Feng Wuyou did not know, was that her seemingly unintentional words had actually caused Xiao Lie to harden his loyalty towards Feng Wuyou in his heart.

As the two walked along the small path between the bamboo forests, they suddenly heard a few unusual sounds. The rustling sounds were like the sound of bamboo leaves being blown by the wind, yet also like the sound of something crawling on the ground and rubbing against each other.

Feng Wuyou frowned, and subconsciously lowered her head to look at the path beneath his feet. When she looked, he suddenly discovered that there was a stone board under his feet, and this stone board, was about two feet square, its size was no different from other stone tablets, but its quality, was different!

Then, he looked at Xiao Lie. The stone underneath his feet was the same as hers and based on his intuition, Feng Wuyou immediately spoke out: "Xiao Lie, hold it right there."

After Xiao Lie heard this, he stood on top of that unique stone tablet and did not move.

In the next second, the rustling sounds in the bamboo forest became louder and louder.

And the more Feng Wuyou heard the voice, the more her face paled.

After witnessing the Raging Python's calamity, she had an inexplicable fear towards this sound. There must be a snake that was about to appear nearby!

And Feng Wuyou was sure that it wasn't just one, but many!

Before long, a few snakes the size of chopsticks appeared on the ground in front of him. They had different colours and their numbers were as numerous as the stars in the sky. Seeing the increasing number of small snakes in front of him, Feng Wuyou felt his scalp go numb and his legs tremble.

As a fourteen or fifteen year old child, Xiao Lie naturally had never seen such a scene before. His face was similarly pale as he tilted his head to look at Feng Wuyou. If they continued to stand like this, they were most likely going to be split up by these little snakes.

Feng Wuyou forced herself to calm down, and thought of the different stone tablets beneath her feet, thinking of how Hua Yurong had once said not to think about things so complicated, thus, she made a decision in her heart: "Xiao Lie, stand still!"

After Xiao Lie heard this, although he was somewhat anxious in his heart, he still did not move an inch upon hearing Feng Wuyou's words.

The small snakes continued to pass through the bamboo forest. Soon, they arrived in front of the two men. However, they all avoided the stone tablets and slipped to the side.

Right at this moment, many bamboo arrows shot out from the sky above the bamboo forest. The number of arrows were no less than the little snakes on the ground. Those bamboo arrows whistled through the sky from all directions.

The bamboo arrows also made Xiao Lie's heart jump. Actually, he had thought of using his movement technique to get onto the bamboo arrows, if he really flew up, he would have been pierced through by the arrows by now.

After a long rain of arrows, the little snakes on the ground also disappeared, and the bamboo forest returned to its previous tranquility as if it had never appeared before. If it wasn't for the bamboo arrows on the ground, the two of them would have found it very difficult to believe that they had almost lost their lives.

Xiao Lie glanced at the bamboo forest in front of him: "Master, what do we do?"

Feng Wuyou also looked in front of him, and coldly snorted with a smile that was not a smile: "Go forward!" Before entering the bamboo forest, he had said that only two people could come in and see him, and in this entire bamboo forest, there were indeed only two stone tablets that could accommodate people. First, it was a poisonous snake, then, it was a bamboo arrow.

He really was a weird person!

Xiao Lie nodded his head: "Then for safety's sake, let me walk in front to scout, you follow behind me." As he spoke, he began to walk forward.

Feng Wuyou closed the fan in her hand, and walked beside him: "Brat, I'm warning you, if you want to follow me, you have to change your temperament. The words that I just said, have you forgotten about them already? I am the master, so I should walk in front of you. Also, you must remember that you are my follower. No matter what, you cannot snatch the master's opportunity to act tough! Otherwise, let's see how I'll whip you! "

Although Feng Wuyou's words seemed like she was lecturing Xiao Lie, Xiao Lie could still feel the concern in his heart. However... At this time, you still want to act cool?

Having such a master who likes to act cool, Xiao Lie expressed that he was a little tired!

The master and the servant walked along a small path between the bamboo forests. After walking for about two hundred meters, they did not encounter any more strange dangers. They arrived in front of a large courtyard.

Needless to say more, the Zhonghe City's City Lord should be inside.

Feng Wuyou and Xiao Lie looked at each other, and then entered the courtyard. Before even entering the hall, they heard faint sounds of conversation coming from inside.

Feng Wuyou's brows twitched, someone had beaten him to it?
