Sima Yue was the son of King Wenxian. In terms of generation, he was the cousin of His Majesty. He once served as the general of the auxiliary state and the right pushe of the Shangshu. Later, Ying Gong was re-appointed as the Shizhong, and was appointed as the commander of Fengche, and was promoted to the title of King of Southeast.

Later, because of his great power and disagreement with the emperor, he was suspicious of the emperor. He retained his position as the commander of the Fengche Duwei and returned to Xuzhou on the grounds of recuperation.

Over the years, as the old emperor appointed treacherous ministers and valued relatives, and his incompetence in various places intensified, Sima Yue used Xuzhou as his base camp and continued to expand, becoming one of the strongest among the kings of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, he was suffering from a sudden illness and had no intention of inquire about the affairs of the state, so that the King of Qi Sima Jiong, who was in Qingzhou to the north, dared to attack Xuzhou.

Even if the tiger is old and sick, it is very cruel. Therefore, when he meets him, it is not only Li Yuanxiao, but also the head of the Wang family and Xuan Jizi, who are both cautious.

Afterwards, Li Yuanxiao asked Chen Ning to introduce the assassination on that day in detail. Chen Ning did not hide it and explained the old man's attacking moves in detail.

Li Yuanxiao and Xuan Jizi are both masters, and once the warriors become great martial artists and practice internal strength, they are not considered unknown people. With Chen Ning's description, they are knowledgeable and must be able to guess the origin of the old man.

Unfortunately, Chen Ning didn't have the chance to find out because he was invited out and moved to the side hall to use tea.

"Do you guess the origin of the assassin old man?" asked the Southeast King.

Li Yuanxiao did not speak, but looked at Xuan Jizi.

Xuan Jizi did not hide it and said, "Combined with Zhao Baoyu's description, he is proficient in daggers in the world and is a great martial artist of that age. I know that a person is Yueshan of Yin and Yang Dao."

"The traitor's Yin and Yang Dao?" Wang Xiao, the head of the Wang family, said in surprise.

Li Yuanxiao nodded and said, "I thought of him too."

Sima Yue coughed and said, "I colluded with Yin-Yang Dao to rebel, but was ordered by His Majesty to encircle and suppress it. They were basically killed, but there were also fish that missed the net. I didn't expect that they would have an accident in Xuzhou. By the way, Xuanjizi, your Tianshi Dao and Yin-Yang Dao are old enemies. Do you know the news about these remnants?"

"Reporting to the prince, I don't know that the other party is hiding deeply and has a strange whereabouts." Xuan Jizi replied.

"Then check all the suspicious people in the city!" Sima Yue said coldly: "Pengcheng has been quiet for a while, and some people are not aware of their lives."

Wang Xiao quickly stood up and answered.

Sima Yue continued: "The second thing is that I have heard of the rumors. No matter whether the rumors are true or false, since someone spreads them, it is not groundless. Xuanjizi, I ask you, what is your purpose in coming to Pengcheng?"

Xuan Jizi naturally couldn't express his true intentions. Fortunately, he had a better statement on hand.

He took out a piece of paper from his arms, unfolded it to the screen, and said, "Prince, I came here for this thing."

"Shen Family Gun!" Sima Yue shouted in a deep voice behind the screen, and even recognized the origin of the gun tip on the paper at a glance.

Li Yuanxiao's brow trembled and he was secretly alert.

"Where does this painting come from?" Sima Yue asked.

Xuan Jizi shook his head and said, "Someone gave it to me anonymously, and I don't know the other party's origin. But it's certain that the remnants of the Shen family should be in Pengcheng. As for the rumors... it should be to provoke the relationship between me and General Li, after all, General Li used to..."

Sima Yue was silent for a moment, then said, "In less than a month, I will celebrate my 60th birthday. I will hold a banquet for my birthday. You two will drink a few more drinks at that time. In addition, Yuan Xiao, you don't have to go back to the military camp during this period and search for the remnants of the Shen family in Pengcheng, so that the rumors will be broken."

"I understand the humble profession!" Li Yuanxiao held his fists and took the order.

...

Chen Ning waited in the side hall for a while, and Li Yuanxiao finished the matter and took Chen Ning away from the palace.

Seeing that Li Yuanxiao's face was not good, Chen Ning did not ask what happened, but Li Yuanxiao took the initiative to say, "Liu Shu, don't you want to find your master? You can search carefully during this period. If there is no one, the Li family has it."

"Thank you, Uncle Li." Chen Ning thanked.

He looked back at Wang Xiao and Xuan Jizi behind him. The two of them talked with smiles. It seemed that the rumors had not affected Xuan Jizi, so he didn't know what Xuan Jizi did.

After leaving the royal palace, Chen Ning separated from Li Yuanxiao for reasons and returned to his mansion. At the same time, he sent someone to call Yue Yidao.

"Stop spreading rumors. In addition, you choose a young beggar for me, asking him not to know his life experience, be smart and smart, and at the age of seventeen, it is best to have a birthmark on his lower back. I am very useful, try to speed up, and do this invisible situation, don't let the other party discover that this matter is life-threatening!" Chen Ning decided to choose a little beggar to disguise himself.

When "Chen Ning" appears in Pengcheng, we need to see Li Yuanxiao's performance. If he can save him without any effort, he can trust him, but if he has ulterior motives, it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible.

In addition, Chen Ning already has a candidate!

Last time I went to Yueyidao's home, I happened to see Yueyidao's godson Goudan taking a bath with a young beggar. There was a blue birthmark on the waist of the young beggar.

But now the reason why he pretends to be ignorant and asks Yue Yidao to search is to test him and see if he is dedicated to his duties.

Yue Yidao nodded quickly when he heard the sound and said, "I understand, start looking for it immediately."

After seeing off Yue Yishao, Chen Ning planned the follow-up plan.

It is not a long-term solution to pretend that Zhao Baoyu is close to Xuzhou. Once someone from the Zhao family comes or who has seen Zhao Baoyu come, Chen Ning may be exposed. However, as early as Shen Ning left Wangjia Village, his third uncle Meng Xingchen went to Qingzhou.

The Zhao family offended the King of Qi Sima Jiong. Meng Xingchen's purpose of going to Qingzhou in person was to completely deteriorate the relationship between the Zhao family and Sima Jiong. Sima Jiong was irritable and cruel. With Meng Xingchen's strategy, it was easy for Sima Jiong to attack the Zhao family.

But, there is no airtight wall in the world, so it is better to be careful.

Within the next two or three days, Chen Ning noticed the changes in the city. A large number of soldiers searched door to door. In addition to hunting assassins, they were also looking for a suspicious boy.

Chen Ning immediately thought of the woman in black whom she met when she entered Li Yuanxiao's study at night. She took away the portrait of Shen Jiaqi. It seemed that the painting fell into Xuan Jizi or Wang Xiao's hands.

This is also good, and it is convenient for Chen Ning's plan to be carried out.

In the past few days, Chen Ning, in addition to looking for Xu Qishang, was a disciple of the Xiaoyao family, fishing, competing with Zhang Liao and Lu Yongxu for no reason, or just teasing Li Qingkong and Yu Xuefei.

Yue Yidao also looked for a candidate.

Chen Ning went to meet the beggar in person, and it was indeed the boy.

This made Chen Ning very satisfied. Knowing that his life was in danger, Yue Yidao handed over the person, which showed his loyalty.

That night, Chen Ning was wearing a gray robe and a cloak, avoiding the sight of outsiders, and came to the broken house where the beggar lived.

The young beggar is an orphan. Since he became sensible, he has no idea who his parents are, nor his own name. His companions call him Gou San.

When he was sleeping, he suddenly felt someone kicking him. After waking up, he looked up and found a mysterious man standing beside him.

The other party was wearing a cloak and couldn't see his appearance clearly. He could only vaguely see his blurred facial features hidden in the darkness.

"Follow me!"

Chen Ning pinched his voice, his voice was quite thick.
