"Lord, what are you looking at?" Ying Quan looked at Murong Ke in confusion. Murong Ke was just enjoying the lanterns while drinking with Shen Yuexuan, why did his face suddenly become gloomy? Just like a new dagger
Murong Ke held a wine glass in his hand, his eyes coldly looking at the crowd outside the window.
He had seen her at the lantern market just now.
Even though she was disguised as a man, he could still recognize her at a glance.
He wanted to go forward to find her, but in the blink of an eye, she had already been taken away by a man. He thought she had been kidnapped and immediately chased after her.
In the end
Murong Ke's eyes became even colder. He saw her being hugged and kissed by that man. She did not resist, but instead leaned softly in that man's embrace, letting him do whatever he wanted. She even took the initiative to hug that man's neck.
He stood on the roof above the alley. Under the bright moonlight, he could see that man's appearance. It was a man he had never seen before. However, the most dazzling thing was the shy and surprised smile on her face. It was a sweetness he had never seen before.
Murong Ke had never known what jealousy felt like. Ever since he was young, he had never really wanted anything. He had always done as he pleased and did whatever he wanted. But when he met Lu Yaoyao, he wanted her, but she didn't want him.
Who was that man?
It didn't seem like Mo Rongzhan. How could Mo Rongzhan come to the capital?
Murong Ke did not think that Lu Yaoyao would like Mo Rongzhan. Their Ye Clan was destroyed because of Mo Rongzhan. Her sister also died because of Mo Rongzhan. How could she become Mo Rongzhan's empress?
If it wasn't Mo Rongzhan, then who was that man?
"Lord Liu, what's wrong with you tonight? You seem to be absent-minded." Shen Yuexuan, who was sitting opposite Murong Ke, said with a smile. He was a little puzzled as to what Murong Ke had gone out for. Why did his expression look so bad when he came back?
Murong Ke lightly said, "It's nothing."
Ying Quan looked at Murong Ke worriedly. He had never seen Lord Liu like this before. He really didn't know what was going on.
Shen Yuexuan had a beautiful woman in his arms. Hearing Murong Ke's cold voice, he waved his hand to dismiss the servants in the room.
"Sixth Master, what's bothering you?" Shen Yuexuan asked when the room was filled with their trusted subordinates.
"Have you found Bai Ziqi?" Murong Ke didn't want others to know what was on his mind. It was his business that he liked Lu Yaoyao, and he didn't need to tell others how to get her. As for what he saw today, the heart-wrenching pain he felt today, he didn't want to feel it anymore.
Shen Yuexuan said, "I found him, but he won't say anything."
"Cao Lei's treasure trove is definitely not as simple as the treasures he plundered over the years. Bai Ziqi was willing to risk killing Cao Lei to pursue Li Yuniang relentlessly. This is already abnormal." Murong Ke said.
"Sixth Master, are you saying that there are other things in the treasury?" Shen Yuexuan raised his eyebrows.
Shen asked. "Liu." Lord. "Murong." Liu, "Murong said. Ke." Murong I Ke.
Shen Yuexuan smiled, lowered his head, and downed the wine in one gulp. "Alright."
Murong Ke smiled. He wasn't interested in the secret between Bai Ziqi and Shen Yuexuan. He sent people to find Bai Ziqi to prevent him from hurting Lu Yaoyao. If he didn't find Bai Ziqi, he wouldn't have found out about Bai Ziqi's background. He only knew that Bai Ziqi was framed by Ye Yisong. Recently, he learned that he used to be a pirate under Cao Lei, and Cao Lei seemed to have been in contact with Ye Yisong eight years ago.
Things were getting more and more complicated.
"That's it," Murong Ke said, stood up and left the restaurant.
Looking at Murong Ke's back, Shen Yuexuan's expression became serious.
"Master, if Lord Liu intervenes, I'm afraid the secret won't be able to be kept," a middle-aged man beside Shen Yuexuan said.
Shen Yuexuan said, "If Bai Ziqi says anything, let him die."
"If Bai Ziqi is killed, all the things left by the old master will be gone," the middle-aged man said hesitantly.
"It doesn't matter how many gold and silver treasures we lose. Only when our family is destroyed will there be nothing left." Shen Yuexuan poured himself another glass of wine.
The crowd of the Lantern Festival gradually dispersed, but the lantern market on the street had not yet been extinguished. The bright lanterns illuminated half of the capital.
"Master Mo." Wu Chong quietly came behind Mo Rongzhan.
"Found it." Mo Rongzhan withdrew his gaze from the lantern market outside, no longer thinking about the lingering with Ye Zhen in the alley.
Wu Chong nodded, "This subordinate has been watching Shen Yuexuan, only to find that Bai Ziqi has been captured by him."
Mo Rongzhan smiled faintly, "Rescue Bai Ziqi."
"Your Majesty, in this way, we may alert the enemy. We can no longer follow Shen Yuexuan." Wu Chong said.
"There is no need to follow Shen Yuexuan anymore. Directly investigate the ancestors of the Shen family," Mo Rongzhan said in a deep voice. He always thought that Lin Zhanhong would definitely hide in the ordinary after changing his name, so he never thought that Wu Chong and the others would investigate the already famous people, let alone that Shen Yuexuan might be a descendant of Lin Zhanhong.
Wu Chong and Shen Yi looked at each other, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Bring Bai Ziqi to see me." Mo Rongzhan ordered in a low voice.
"Yes." Wu Chong and Shen Yi quietly retreated.
In the dead of night, two shadows sneaked into the Shen family's mansion. Wu Chong already knew where Bai Ziqi was hidden, so it was not difficult to find the secret and secluded place. Shen Yuexuan was afraid of arousing other people's suspicions, so he did not assign too many people to guard Bai Ziqi here.
"Where is this place?" Shen Yi asked Wu Chong in a low voice.
"Like the ancestral hall." Wu Chong said, "Save him first."
Shen Yi thought to himself in surprise. He and Wu rushed in to save Bai Ziqi.
Although the people guarding Bai Ziqi here were skilled in martial arts, they were still inferior to Shen Yi and Wu Chong. They almost didn't disturb anyone else and took care of the four people guarding outside the door. Bai Ziqi was locked in the basement of the ancestral hall.
They had never seen anyone dig a basement in the ancestral hall. What kind of rules were these? Shen Yi was puzzled. Seeing a thick wooden door next door, he and Wu Chong looked at each other and went to open the door.
"Why … why is there a mourning hall?" Shen Yi asked Wu Chong in surprise.
At this time, Bai Ziqi, who was unconscious, woke up. He pointed to the mourning hall and said, "That is the mourning hall of the Lin family's ancestors."
Wu Chong and Shen Yi looked at each other. It seemed that Shen Yuexuan was the person the emperor was looking for.
"Bring him back first." Shen Yi said to Wu Chong. Shen Yuexuan should find this place soon.
"Who are you? Why are you saving me?" Bai Ziqi asked. He was almost beaten to death by Shen Yuexuan's people these past few days. Who would know that he was here?
"You will know when you see our master." Wu Chong said.
