Chapter 123 Ready to make a move

Ever since Qianhuan was followed several times, she felt that she had to learn some martial arts such as hidden weapons to be safer.

So she asked Master Cai, "Brother Yunlong, can you use hidden weapons?"

"Well, my master is an expert in the use of hidden weapons. He taught me several hidden weapon techniques. Why, do you want to learn too?"

Qianhuan nodded, "Yes, I want to learn."

"Okay, since you want to learn, I will teach you. You are a martial arts prodigy. I have only taught you for such a short period of time, but your swordsmanship has improved so much. I believe you will also be able to learn hidden weapons very quickly."

"Thank you, Brother Yunlong, for the compliment."

In fact, Qianhuan felt that the reason why she learned swordsmanship so quickly might have something to do with the sword dance she learned in modern times. Although the sword dance she practiced in her previous life was just an artistic performance, every move was also the result of long-term hard practice.

Some moves like inside and outside wrist flowers, reverse sword, hanging sword and flipping, etc., must be performed quickly, fiercely and accurately in order to dance with that kind of momentum. These moves and movements can be integrated into the swordsmanship you are learning now.

In addition, whether in modern times or in ancient times, she has always insisted on practicing the basic skills of dance, and her body is more flexible than ordinary people. This is probably the reason why she learned martial arts quickly.

"Brother Yunlong, can you find someone to help me get some drugs or poisons that can make people faint?"

"What do you want those things for?"

"I want to carry it with me for self-defense. I was followed by someone a few days ago. Luckily, that person was just an ordinary citizen. If he was a martial arts master, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see Brother Yunlong."

"Which bastard is following you again? He didn't bully you, did he? Tell me his name and I'll help you beat him up.

"Brother Yunlong, I'm fine. Fortunately, that person had no ill intentions. But this incident reminded me that it would be safer for me to carry some drugs and poisons with me."

"Okay, I'll ask my friends on the road to help you when I get back, and I'll also ask someone to help you with some handy hidden weapons."

"Brother Yunlong, it may cost a lot of silver to get those things. Take these twenty taels of silver first. If it's not enough, tell me again." Qianhuan took out twenty taels of silver from her bosom and handed it over.

"Okay." Young Master Cai didn't act pretentiously and took the silver she handed over. After all, hidden weapons and things like medicinal powder and poison powder were really not cheap. He now had to support a large group of people and didn't have any extra money to buy those things.

At this time, in a luxurious courtyard in the capital, a guard dressed in green was kneeling on one knee to report to his master: "Master, our people have sent news that the Canglang Kingdom has begun to make some moves recently."

"Oh? What have they done recently?" The man's voice was as cold as a thousand-year-old ice.

"According to our people, Canglang Country has planted a group of people in our Dayuan Country. These people have established their own bases in different places in our country. It seems that they want to make some noise during the cultural exchange between the two countries next year."

"Have you found out where their bases are?"

"Reporting to the master, we have only found one stronghold in the southeast and southwest. The southeast stronghold is hidden in Meizhou City, and the southwest stronghold is hidden in Lingzhou City. There is no clue about the other strongholds for the time being, and our people are still investigating."

"Cold wind, cold rain." The man with a handsome face looked up and shouted into the void.

There were several collision sounds, and two figures emerged from the darkness. The two men in black tights knelt on one knee on the ground and said to the man, "Leng Feng (Leng Yu) greets the master. I wonder what the master wants me to do for you?"

"Leng Yu, take a group of people to the southeast to destroy the Canglang Nation's stronghold in Meizhou, and remember to collect evidence."

"Yes, I obey your command." After receiving the order, Leng Yu disappeared in the courtyard.

"Cold wind."

"My subordinate is here."

"Put on a human skin mask and pretend to be me and stay in the capital. If the emperor wants to summon me to the palace, you can use the excuse that you have caught a cold and cannot go out to stop him. Remember to try not to leave the house."

"Yes, my subordinates know."

Leng Feng paused for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "Master, I can handle the situation with His Majesty. But Princess Ning Jia has been in love with you for a long time. She always likes to bring people to the mansion to look for you every now and then. If Princess Ning Jia comes to the mansion, what should I do?"

"Just tell him to throw him out." The man said this without a trace of emotion.

Leng Feng twitched his lips. Their master was too cruel and had no mercy on women. He still agreed, "Yes, I obey your command."

"Chiying, immediately select ten skilled secret guards. This prince will personally go to Lingzhou City to destroy their base in the southwest."

"Master, there is something I don't understand. Why didn't you report this to His Majesty, but went there secretly by yourself?" Chi Ying asked puzzledly.

"We don't have solid evidence. If we report it directly, His Majesty may not believe it. Besides, they should have people in the palace. If I report it to His Majesty, it might alert them. Once I have enough evidence, I will write to His Majesty."

"Yes, I understand. I will do it right away."

On the Chu family's side, the second young master Chu has been frequently visiting Zuixianju these days. Shopkeeper Zhou couldn't help but wonder why the second young master, who almost never came to the restaurant before, has changed his personality recently and not only often comes to Zuixianju to eat, but also always runs to the back kitchen to hang out.

One day, Shopkeeper Zhou couldn't help but report the matter to Young Master Chu. Chu Yichen felt that there must be something wrong as the situation was unusual.

He instructed Yuanji, "Yuanji, send someone to follow the Second Young Master and investigate who he has been in contact with recently."

"Yes, Master, I will do it right away."

Do not check, I don’t know, I’m scared.

Yuanji reported the news to Young Master Chu: "Master, this Second Young Master actually went to drink wine with our mortal enemy, Boss Ma of Jixiang Restaurant, a few days ago. I heard that the two of them had a very pleasant conversation."

"What? That prodigal son is drinking with Boss Ma?"

"Yes, Master, and it's even worse. According to our spies, the Second Master has been hanging out with the girl who works in the kitchen of Zuixianju recently. I'm afraid the Second Master has ulterior motives."

"Where is the Second Young Master now?"

"The people who were following him said that the Second Young Master just went out, and it seemed that he was heading towards Yichunyuan."

Chu Yichen secretly said badly, and quickly ordered, "Yuanji, send someone to tie him up and take him home. Move quickly, and try to get there before he enters Yichun Courtyard."

After his second brother came into contact with the Ma family, he also came into contact with the people in the kitchen of Zuixianju. He was afraid that this prodigal son would do something detrimental to the Chu family.

As he expected, the second young master of the Chu family sold his body to trick the girl in the kitchen into working for him. When the chef of Zuixianju was making chopped pepper fish head, the girl secretly paid attention to the method.

Chu Yifan learned the general method of cooking "Good Luck" from the fire-making girl and immediately wrote down a recipe.

Today he was planning to take this recipe to Yichunyuan to exchange it for silver from Boss Ma. Boss Ma had promised to give him one thousand taels of silver as long as he produced the recipe.

Chu Yichen usually only gave him two hundred taels of silver as pocket money every month, which was not enough for him to squander. Recently, their restaurant business was getting better and better, and Master Chu had been praising Chu Yichen for his good management.

If the Ma family got the prescription and Zuixianju's business was damaged, Chu Yichen would be in a state of panic, and Mr. Chu would be very disappointed in Chu Yichen. He could then take the opportunity to propose taking over the restaurant business, so he immediately agreed to Mr. Ma's request.

This prodigal son is really a fool. In order to deal with Chu Yichen, he even sold out his own restaurant.

When Yuanji and his men arrived, the second young master of the Chu family was about to give the prescription to Boss Ma. Yuanji immediately stopped the transaction between the two. He snatched the prescription handed over by the second young master of the Chu family, and ordered his men to tie up the second young master of the Chu family and carry him back home.
