Huangxiu

Chapter 68 Calculation
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man in green robe felt powerless and helpless.

I am just a small centurion. How can I have the qualifications to persuade him, let alone teach the prince how to do things.

Cheng Tianfeng said: "I want to meet this young lady from the Duke of Anguo's Mansion."

The middle-aged man in green robe hurriedly said, "Sir, this Miss Xiao rarely leaves the house. She stays in the house all day long."

"Not leaving the house?" Cheng Tianfeng pondered: "Then lead her out. Who is the person she cares about the most?"

"…It should be the Duke of Anguo."

"Forget about Duke Anguo." Cheng Tianfeng waved his hand: "The Grandmaster is perfect, and it is not easy to touch him. What else?"

"That's the young master." The middle-aged man in green robe thought for a while: "The wife of Duke Anguo died early, and the young master was raised by his sister, so the relationship is naturally unusual."

"Does this young master often go out of the house?"

"... He doesn't leave the house very often." The middle-aged man in green robe said, "This young master is a bit introverted and doesn't like to socialize."

"As a young master, no matter how introverted and social you are, you still have to socialize, right?"

The middle-aged man in green robe scratched his head.

His mind raced, and he was thinking hard about how to lure Xiao Ruoling out so that Cheng Tianfeng could see her.

Cheng Tianfeng stared at him with his sharp eyes, as if he could see through his heart.

The middle-aged man in green robe thought for a moment and said slowly: "If the prince really wants to see you, then we can only take a risky move."

"how?"

"Write a fake invitation and lure her out."

Cheng Tianfeng groaned for a moment, and finally shook his head: "Forget it, I won't embarrass you. It's not easy for you either. If you are exposed because of this, it will be my fault."

"…Prince, you can give it a try."

"Can you do it? Don't force yourself."

“…Okay!” The middle-aged man in green robe gritted his teeth.

His mouth was full of bitterness.

I might die.

If the prince really acts recklessly and wants to snatch Xiao Ruoling away, I don’t know how much trouble it will cause, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to save my life.

In this case, I can only try my best and cling to the prince's thigh, so that he will remember my merits and abilities and not give up on me.

"Tomorrow morning, then."

"...In the morning...Yes!"

There are still great risks in doing so.

If I want to invite Xiao Ruoling, I need friends who are very close to her, and I have to go back and screen who they are right away.

It should be some duke's mansion or princesses.

The people these young ladies from the Duke's Mansion usually interact with are mostly people of the same level, and it is difficult for them to go beyond this circle.

But the invitations from these people all have unique designs in order to prevent imitation and counterfeiting. The doormen and butlers of the Duke's Mansion can tell the real from the fake at a glance.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult to get these invitations, and it is easy to expose the secret spies in various mansions.

What's more, invitations are usually delivered in advance, and it is rare that the invitation is sent on the same day and the other party is required to attend the banquet on the same day.

Especially tomorrow morning.

It's getting late now.

This means that the invitations must be sent tonight, and it would be impolite to send them too late.

This matter is extremely difficult.

But it is extremely difficult to show your talent and to seize the prince's support to rise to prominence!

As the saying goes, fortune and honor are achieved through risk, so give it a try!
However, this Prince of Eagle is indeed as the legend says, not very compassionate to his subordinates and a cruel person.

Chu Zhiyuan sat on his couch and began to recall what he had just seen.

Through the details, we can infer Cheng Tianfeng's strength and the depth of the two grand masters, and compare them with Chu Qingfeng's cultivation.

If I could find a way to get rid of Cheng Tianfeng's jade token, I would have a chance to get a glimpse of his depth, but unfortunately the chance is slim.

Cheng Tianfeng has a great master by his side, so all the evil spirits and monsters are in vain.

There is only one way: to fight hard.

He is now at the ninth level of the innate tower, the third level of the Dragon Transformation Art, the mastery of the Sword Washing Art, and has also mastered the Great Avalanche Sword Art and the World Within Reach Step to perfection.

With twenty acupoints activated, the circulation of true Qi is about five times that of an ordinary person, which means that the power of the Great Avalanche Sword Technique and the World Within Reach Step is increased several times.

He can even fight against a grandmaster.

There's no need to worry too much.

Thinking of this, he took out the Phoenix Pendant, contemplated it for a while, and when he was exhausted, he fell asleep.

Duke Anguo's Mansion
In the early morning in Tianxiang Courtyard, Xiao Ruoling, dressed in white tights, was practicing boxing slowly. Her graceful figure was so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off her.

Two pretty little maids stood by and watched in fascination.

No matter how many times I watch it, I will be fascinated by it every time and cannot extricate myself. It is simply a great enjoyment.

If I am unable to watch it due to something one day, I will feel empty and uncomfortable all day until I see it the next day, and then I will feel better.

There were footsteps outside, and Xiao Ruoyu raised his voice, "Sister." "Come in." Xiao Ruoling said.

Xiao Ruoyu strode in with an invitation in his hand: "It's the second young lady of the Duke Kang's Mansion who invites you to come and enjoy the flowers."

Xiao Ruoling didn't stop moving her hands.

Xiao Ruoyu stood aside and waited.

After Xiao Ruoling slowly finished a set of punches, a maid handed her a towel and another maid handed her a teacup.

Xiao Ruoling came to the small pavilion next to her and sat down. She took the invitation handed to her by Xiao Ruoyu, glanced at it, and slightly frowned her thin eyebrows that were long and deep into her temples.

Xiao Ruoyu asked: "Do you want to refuse?"

He knew that Xiao Ruoling and Miss Song Er were very close friends, close acquaintances.

There was not much formality when the two of them interacted, they were straightforward and free.

Xiao Ruoling glanced at him and shook her head.

"You really aren't going?" Xiao Ruoyu asked puzzledly.

"Well, I won't go." Xiao Ruoling nodded.

"Won't it hurt our feelings if I don't go?" Xiao Ruoyu said.

Xiao Ruoling said: "If she invites me, she doesn't need an invitation. It's redundant. Besides, she won't use this kind of invitation."

Xiao Ruoyu was stunned.

Xiao Ruoling said: "Xiaohu, as a young master, you must be careful everywhere and stay alert at all times."

Xiao Ruoyu was puzzled: "This is fake? ... Isn't it right?"

If it is a fake, the doorman can see through it at a glance. He has some vision. Then it is a real post, but it was posted by someone else.

His handsome face darkened and he sneered, "Is someone trying to do something illegal? Why?"

There has been no movement in the mansion over the years. My father is the Left Vice Minister in the Ministry of Rites, which is an idle position and he doesn't have to deal with any trivial matters.

My elder sister and I don't care about worldly affairs.

Is there anything that would be disadvantageous to the eldest sister?
Xiao Ruoling said: "Forget it, don't bother with it."

Xiao Ruoyu said: "No, we can't let it go like this!"

If it was directed at him, he wouldn't react so strongly.

He couldn't stand it when it came to Xiao Ruoling.

He thought: If the person behind the scenes fails in his first plan, he will probably come up with another one, and continue to plot against my elder sister. If we don't catch this person or even kill him, there will be endless trouble and it will be very dangerous.

Xiao Ruoling asked: "We can't let it go like this, what are you going to do?"

Xiao Ruoyu fell into deep thought.

How to chase then?
You can’t do anything wrong in the Duke’s Mansion. It needs to be handled by the imperial court.

Should we let the Zhenwu Division, the City Guards, or something else?

For a moment, he was undecided.

After all, I had never experienced such a thing before, and I was at a loss as to what to do. I only knew that I had to catch the murderer, but I didn't know how.

Xiao Ruoling looked at him with a smile.

Xiao Ruoyu thought desperately and used his brain. He didn't want Xiao Ruoling to look down on him and didn't want to be treated like a child anymore.

He snorted and said, "I'll go find someone from the Zhenwu Division!"

"Will the people from the Zhenwu Division pay attention to you? They are very arrogant."

"I am the young master!"

"If you were the prince, they would take you seriously. What the young master said is a little lacking in meaning."

The Zhenwu Division was directly under the command of the emperor, and everyone in the division knew that they had to be lone ministers. They ignored anyone, whether they were princes, nobles, or generals and important officials.

Only the princes and grandchildren of the emperor would attract their attention.

Apart from this, he only took orders from the emperor.

"Then... the city guards?"

"Where are the roots of our eight dukedoms?"

"In the military."

"Where can we find someone then?"

"The Imperial Guards... The Imperial Guards definitely can't do that, they must be the Infantry Department!"

"That's right." Xiao Ruoling nodded: "If you want to investigate, then go to the Infantry Yamen, but the Infantry Yamen is not good at this kind of thing... So, there is no need to waste your efforts."

"Sister, you've thought of everything." Xiao Ruoyu scratched his head.

Am I really that stupid?

The two little maids beside him saw his confusion and chuckled.

A little maid said, "Young Master, it's not that you are stupid, it's that the young lady is too smart!"

"Just like that?" Xiao Ruoyu said unwillingly.

Xiao Ruoling looked at him with a smile.
