nXiao Zhou grinned and puffed out his chest.”Nephew, call me uncle Zhou.”

n

n“？？？”Gu qiuhe was stunned.

n

n“I’m of the same generation as brother Xiao. You’re his nephew, so you shouldn’t call me uncle, right?”

n

nGu qiuhe rolled up his sleeves.”I think you’re just itching for a beating.”

n

nAfter the fun.

n

n“Uncle Xiao, when you go to the fu residence to propose marriage, can you bring me along?”

n

n“Alright! I’ll let you know when the time comes. ” Xiao ran nodded.

n

n“Well, it’s getting late. I still have two things to learn. I’ll go first.” Gu qiuhe left in a hurry after he finished talking about the important matters.

n

nXiao ran also stood up and patted Xiao Zhou’s shoulder.”I’ll go back first.”

n

n“Yes.” Little Zhou nodded.

n

nHe left the room.

n

nAs he walked out, he had just reached the door when a prison guard ran over breathlessly. He didn’t even have time to catch his breath and hurriedly said,”Sir, the Lieutenant has an urgent matter to discuss with you!”

n

n“Now?”

n

n“Yes.”

n

n“Let’s go back. ” Xiao ran said.

n

nHe brought him to the Imperial prison.

n

nHe was puzzled. Did something happen in the Imperial prison for Zhang Yu to look for him at this time?

n

nHe shook his head.

n

nHe felt like he was overthinking things. The ninth Prince’s matter was already over, and they wouldn’t act now if there weren’t any benefits.

n

nMoreover …

n

nThe Mid-Autumn Festival was just around the corner, and he had to make some connections. There were a lot of miscellaneous things to do, and he was so busy that he could die.

n

nHe arrived at the Imperial prison with questions in his mind.

n

n“Brother Xiao!” Zhang Yu hurriedly came up to him.

n

n“Why are you in such a hurry to find me?” Xiao ran went straight to the point.

n

nHe looked suspiciously at the criminal who was standing at the side. He was shackled and his hands and feet were tied up.

n

nThere were really too many of them. There were nearly 200 people, both men and women, and even children. They seemed to be a family.

n

n“All at once?”

n

n“Yes.” Zhang Yu nodded.

n

nHe said in a low voice.

n

n“These are the WAN family’s people.”

n

nAs if afraid that Xiao ran would not understand, she said,”she’s from the ninth Prince’s mother’s family.”

n

n“What’s going on?” Xiao ran’s expression was serious.

n

n“I don’t know,” Zhang Yu handed the document over with a bitter face.

n

nHe took the document and flipped it open.

n

nThe document recorded that the WAN family had committed grave sins. They had colluded with the ninth Prince and plotted against the officials and merchants of the Imperial court, causing the deaths of countless people.

n

nIt was equivalent to not saying anything.

n

nHe tossed the document over.

n

nZhang Yu replied,”it shouldn’t be because of that. The people who escorted them here are the Imperial Dragon Holy guards, and there are many of them. I heard his subordinates call him dragon head.”

n

n“Are you sure?” Xiao ran squinted his eyes.

n

nHe knew a little about the Imperial Dragon sacred guards.

n

nIt was recorded in the files of the divine sword guards.

n

nThe head of the Dragon was the highest commander of the Imperial Dragon Holy guards, just like the Swordmaster of the divine sword guards.

n

nHe was in charge of the security of the palace. The people under him were all experts, and the power he controlled was very strong.

n

nHe was also Emperor Sheng Wen’s absolute confidant.

n

nFor such a person to personally escort the WAN family’s people over, there must be something fishy going on.

n

n“After they arrived, they went to Inferno hell. They didn’t stay there for a long time, and then they left.”

n

n“Wait for me here, I’ll go to Inferno hell and take a look.” Xiao ran said.

n

n“Yes.” Zhang Yu agreed.

n

nHe walked quickly towards Inferno hell.

n

nHe didn’t believe that the Dragon head’s intentions would be so simple. There were some things that he would only know after seeing the eldest Princess.

n

nWhen they arrived at Inferno hell, they stopped at the first prison cell.

n

nThe eldest Princess had just boiled some water and made a pot of snow ginseng tea. Seeing him come, she smiled slightly.”You came quite quickly.”

n

nHe opened the cell door and walked in.

n

nHe sat down opposite her.

n

n“Have a cup of tea.” She poured two glasses and placed one in front of Xiao ran.

n

nXiao ran wasn’t in a hurry to ask. Since he was already here, it didn’t matter if he stayed a little longer.

n

nHolding the teacup, he gently blew on it, took a sip, and then put the teacup down.

n

n“What happened?”

n

n“Why don’t you take a guess?” The eldest Princess said.

n

n“Did the ninth Prince attack him?”

n

n“Yes.” The eldest Princess nodded.

n

nHis expression was complicated.

n

n“We’ve all underestimated ninth brother. He’s hidden too deeply, especially this last round. He caught everyone off guard. Even Sheng Wen was deceived by him and fell for his trap.”

n

nHe told her about how the ninth Prince had tried to harm Emperor Sheng Wen.

n

n“One link after another, what a good plan.” Xiao ran sighed.

n

n“How is he now?”

n

n“The sixth ancestor has a technique called the Son of Heaven’s Divine Sealing technique that can solve this problem. However, she would only wake up after a week. Other than that, there’s another side effect. If you can’t find the second half of the plan within a hundred years, you can only live for a hundred years. ”

n

n“Now that he’s in trouble, do those people in the palace really trust you that much?” Xiao ran asked.

n

n“I’m not interested in that position. If there was, he wouldn’t have had the chance to be in that position. I would have taken it back then.” The eldest Princess shook her head.

n

nHe added.

n

n“The will is in my hands. Even if nothing happened to him, if I want to sit in that position, I just have to take out the will and he will have to obediently come down.”

n

nXiao ran looked at her and waited for her to continue.

n

n“That’s not my ambition. Martial arts is the path I want to walk. Separating the Dao fruit is also for this reason. ”

n

nShe took the initiative to hold Xiao ran’s hand, stood up from the chair, leaned over, and kissed him on the face.

n

n“It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but it’s not the right time yet. ”

n

n“Yes.” Xiao ran nodded.

n

n“How many people know about this?”

n

n“When Sheng Wen was in trouble, the news was blocked. I’m guessing that boss and the others should have found out by now, right? There were some things that could only be hidden from outsiders. However, no one knows that he will wake up in seven days, except for us, including boss and the others. ” The eldest Princess said firmly.
