Zhao Tianhao was taken aback.

Jiang Sishui then explained, "However, I am rather afraid of death and worried about encountering misfortune on the way, so I came here to entrust the goods to someone else, hoping that they can arrive safely."

Zhao Tianhao suddenly understood, and his doubts vanished. He asked, "But where does this young man intend to go?"

"Leigu Mountain."

"Leigu Mountain? The Leigu Mountain where the 'Ingenious Chess Game' was set up?"

Zhao Tianhao looked Jiang Sishui up and down, and vaguely understood something.

"Exactly."

"Very well! My Central Plains Escort Agency will accept this escort mission! May I ask when you wish to depart, young man?"

Jiang Sishui thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, as long as I can make it to the 'Zhenlong Chess Tournament'."

Zhao Tianhao stroked his beard and smiled, "No problem, young brother, please don't worry. Zhang Yan, go and prepare a private room for this young brother."

"Yes, Chief Escort!" one of the escorts replied immediately.

"This junior takes his leave!" Jiang Sishui bowed and followed the porter away.

As he turned to leave, his gaze casually swept over the girl beside Zhao Tianhao.

This tiny movement was naturally noticed by the girl who had been watching him closely.

"Qi Ying, do you know this young man?" It was Zhao Tianhao, who noticed her unusual behavior.

Zhao Qiying came to her senses and shook her head, saying, "I don't know him. But I found it strange that he was going to the 'Zhenlong Chess Tournament' because he seemed unsteady on his feet and had no martial arts skills."

Zhao Tianhao nodded, also somewhat puzzled: "'The Precious Chess Game' seems to have nothing to do with martial arts, but it is rumored to be related to a great opportunity that ordinary people cannot get their hands on. It is puzzling that this person wants to get involved."

Zhao Qiying suddenly changed the subject: "Father, do you think this person can solve the chess game?"

Zhao Tianhao was taken aback: "Qi Ying, why do you ask that? Do you think he has that ability?"

The "Precious Chess Game" has been displayed on Leigu Mountain for twenty years. The printed version has long been spread throughout the twenty-eight states of the Central Region. Countless chess masters have studied it, but to this day, no one has been able to solve it.

This shows just how difficult it is!

Normally, the young man from earlier would have been no exception, and her daughter wouldn't have needed to ask such a question.

But she asked.

Although she was asking the question, the fact that she was able to ask it suggests that she felt there was some hope for that person.

That's why Zhao Tianhao was surprised.

Zhao Qiying shook her head and said vaguely, "My daughter doesn't know either, she just feels that he seems to be a little different from others."

Zhao Tianhao nodded slightly and didn't press further, only instructing, "When you set off tomorrow, be sure to take extra precautions..."

He suddenly fell silent, seemingly lost in thought.

"Father?" Zhao Qiying called out tentatively.

Zhao Tianhao snapped out of his daze and laughed, "Forget it, I'll personally go on that escort mission tomorrow!"

"Father is going in person?"

“That’s right! Although this young man claims to have no enemies, he will inevitably encounter martial artists going to the ‘Zhenlong Chess Tournament’ on his way to Leigu Mountain. At that time, it will be a mixed bag and difficult to be peaceful. I’m worried about you going.”

"Father, I also want to go and see the 'Zhenlong Chess Tournament'. Anyway, my second uncle is looking after the escort agency, so there won't be any problems."

"Well... okay." (Disgusted)

……World

After Jiang Sishui followed Zhang Yan out of the main hall, she paid the bill and then went to a side courtyard to find a room to stay in.

Because he didn't want to cause trouble, after moving into the side room, he stayed there obediently and didn't wander around at all. (Shuo)

Meanwhile, in Suzhou, at Taihu Lake.

Murong Fu, who had been traveling extensively, returned to Yanziwu.

At this moment, Murong Fu was scrutinizing the two girls in front of him, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed, and he said indifferently, "Speak, what exactly happened?"

The two girls exchanged a glance, and one of them, dressed in red, asked in confusion, "Nothing happened at Swallow's Nest after you left, young master. Why do you ask this?"

Murong Fu snorted, "Do you really think I'm stupid? Just now I wanted to go to Mantuo Manor, but you all tried to stop me with all sorts of excuses. Do you really think I can't see through you?"

The two girls were startled by what they heard, and a hint of panic flashed in their eyes.

The girl in red was quick-witted; her mind raced, and she tried to find an excuse.

However, Murong Fu's eyes turned cold, and he waved his hand to stop her from speaking, looking at the other woman in green and saying, "A'Zhu, shut up! A'Bi, you speak!"

013 Azhu and Abi: Since we can't stop Miss Biao, let's join the fight!

These two young girls were none other than the two maids of Yanziwu; the one in red was Azhu, and the one in green was Abi.

Murong Fu knew that A'Zhu was clever, resourceful, and full of mischievous ideas, so he didn't want her to answer. Ling

On the contrary, Abi is gentle and obedient, and not good at arguing or sophistry, so it's much easier to ask her questions. (Ling)

When Abi was singled out and questioned by Murong Fu, she panicked and was at a loss when she saw Murong Fu glare at her.

Abi was so frightened that she lost her composure and instinctively revealed the truth about the copy of the diary.

However, what came out of her mouth was: "Because Miss misses the young master so much, Aunt is very angry and said... said that the young master is not allowed to go to Mantuo Villa anymore."

Murong Fu observed Abi's expression and, seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, his expression softened slightly: "Is that all?"

His words were casual, clearly indicating that he didn't take it to heart at all.

Li Qingluo had disliked him for a long time, and Murong Fu was well aware of this, but he didn't care at all.

Although he had to maintain a certain level of respect on the surface because of her status as his aunt, he could still go to Mantuo Manor whenever he wanted. What could Li Qingluo do to him?

Moreover, in the Taihu Lake area, Mantuo Manor relies on the Murong family's reputation to remain safe and sound.

Li Qingluo often went out, so many people knew that the mistress of Mantuo Manor was a beautiful woman.

This beauty is coveted by countless people.

But why has no one succeeded in taking it so far?

Is it because the waterways of Taihu Lake are so complex that the hidden Mantuo Villa cannot be found?

Not!

No matter how complex the waterways are, you can always find a boatman who knows the way.

What those people were worried about was nothing more than the Murong family, who were related to Li Qingluo by marriage!

There were indeed people who plotted against Li Qingluo, but as soon as the boat entered Taihu Lake, they were all beheaded.

The reason is simple: although the Murong family nominally only occupies Yanziwu, in reality, nearly half of the power in Taihu Lake has already been secretly subdued by Murong Fu.

Anyone who tries to take advantage of Mantuo Manor will be discovered immediately.

Faced with Murong Fu's question, Abi bowed her head slightly and said, "Yes...yes, young master."

Murong Fu waved his folding fan, chuckled, and walked away.

The two maids breathed a sigh of relief.

Azhu stood up first, then pulled up Abi, whose legs were a little weak, and laughed, "Well done, Abi, your little brain is sharper today!"

Abi smiled bitterly, "These are not my original words. I originally meant to tell you about the 'Truth Water' reward table for the diary copy, but as soon as I opened my mouth, it turned out like that."

Azhu nodded; it seemed the existence of the diary copy truly could not be revealed.

Having just obtained a copy of the diary, the two of them were about to report to Deng Baichuan. Similar situations had occurred before, so she wasn't surprised by this.

"Sister Azhu, do you think Miss Biao might give the young master the 'truth water'?" Abi asked worriedly.

Wang Yuyan is deeply in love with Murong Fu, and they all see this. Now that there is a chance for Murong Fu to reveal his true feelings, will Wang Yuyan give it up?

The two maids knew exactly what was going on.

Because if it were them, they probably wouldn't want to give up either.

So the question is, will Murong Fu's answer satisfy Wang Yuyan?

This is what Abi is most worried about.

Because they, as bystanders, knew best how Murong Fu treated Wang Yuyan, Abi had absolutely no confidence in Murong Fu.

Azhu sighed, fully aware of Abi's concerns, and said helplessly, "We have done our best to stop the young master from meeting Miss Biao. What is destined to happen will happen. It all depends on whether the young master and Miss Biao are destined to be together."

Abi nodded slightly. Now that she had done her best, she would leave the rest to fate.

The two women were silent for a moment, then Azhu suddenly blinked and asked, "Abi, do you want to...?"

Abi paused for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Isn't this a bad idea?"

"Just tell me if you want to or not!" A'Zhu urged.

After struggling for a while, Abi finally nodded.

Azhu immediately perked up: "Then let's go!"

After saying that, he grabbed Abi and went after Murong Fu.
