玩丰满高大邻居人妻

Chapter 545 - East Gate

“There was some urgent business on my side.”

“Heh. You are working for me, and you dare say you were dealing with your own business?”

“Prince Ren is dead. Who should I kill next?” Li Huowang changed the topic deliberately.

Ji Lin used his two remaining fingers to tap the throne. “Fine. You are a straightforward person, so I will be one too. I have one last remaining sister. Go ahead and kill her.”

Last remaining sister?! Li Huowang’s eyes shrunk from shock.

Ji Lin somehow sensed his surprise and chuckled, “Er Jiu, it’s all thanks to you creating chaos in the palace. If it hadn\'t been for you, I wouldn\'t have gotten this far. While you are a sharp sword, there’s no reason for me not to have a few more sharp swords, so don’t get cocky.”

His voice faltered, and someone stood out from behind the throne. There were some unfamiliar faces behind the throne.

Li Huowang didn’t recognize most of them, but he saw a familiar face holding a gold ingot.

He was none other than Prince Ren’s Scholar God of Wealth! He had defected to Ji Lin!

Staring at Ji Lin in the darkness, Li Huowang felt pressure mounting in his heart. Ji Lin had changed too fast and had expanded his influence to the limits using the space that Li Huowang had made for him.

“Er Jiu, do you accept? Say something, or do you have other private matters to attend to?”

One of the eunuchs who had coins for eyes held the royal decree to Li Huowang.

“I will take it.” Li Huowang took the decree and left.

Standing underneath the dark skies, he opened it and saw that it was information for his next target, Princess Anping.

Ji Lin even gave him a picture, as if he was afraid that Li Huowang wouldn’t know what she looked like.

Princess Anping was just a budding lady; she was even younger than Yang Na.

The mole above the right side of her lip made her look even prettier.

However, Li Huowang dared not underestimate her. Out of the nine of them, only two were remaining, and Princess Anping was one of them, so she definitely had some tricks up her sleeves.

After coming out from the palace, Li Huowang bought a messenger pigeon and started rummaging through his body.

He found a bamboo slip with the full moon carved onto it. He scraped it out of his body.

It was used to communicate with Liu Zongyuan in the Moongate. Since he was good with information, he decided to ask Liu Zongyuan about the Chief’s whereabouts.

He tied the bamboo slip onto the pigeon’s legs. He then took his weapons and slowly made his way to Princess Anping’s palace.

“What are your plans with the princess?” Zhuge Yuan asked.

“Nothing. I will drag for time. I might be able to help her reduce Ji Lin’s authority, too. Ji Lin is growing too fast. I don’t know if he would help me defeat Shai Zi like this.”

Zhuge Yuan nodded his head with satisfaction and stepped back.

Li Huowang had never forgotten his original goal, which was to kill Shai Zi and save Bai Lingmiao.

He didn’t care who would become the emperor. He only needed time to deal with Shai Zi.

Li Huowang entered her palace and felt relieved when he saw a substitute body of the princess.

Luckily, she was quite smart, which gave Li Huowang an excuse to fool Ji Lin for some time by saying that he was trying to locate her true body.

That was how he kept still in the princess’s palace without doing anything. He even took care of some of the spies for her.

On the third day, Li Huowang received Liu Zongyuan’s letter.

“Brother Er Jiu, you want to find the Chief? The Surveillance Bureau is not your house, and you don’t have the qualifications to meet him, but you can wait at the East Gate on the twenty-third day of the month. I’ve heard that he would bring a lot of people out of the city. It’s up to you whether you can find him or not. I can only help you this much.”

Li Huowang kept the latter and immediately jumped down from the tree. He took Li Sui toward the east gate.

The Chief was much more important than some princesses.

There were now two Chiefs in the Liang Kingdom. Now that he can find where Shai Zi was, he only needed to convince the two Chiefs.

He soon reached the East Gate and waited anxiously beside a tea stall.

According to Liu Zongyuan’s report, the Chief would bring a lot of people out of town. Li Huowang would definitely spot them easily due to the size of their party.

Time slowly passed, and the sun slowly set. Li Huowang became nervous.

Why is he still not here? Was Liu Zongyuan’s information erroneous? Didn’t they say that Moongate’s information is very accurate?

“Senior Li! Is that you!? We finally found you!”

Li Huowang had almost stabbed the person who had hugged his leg, but Puppy was saved by his familiar voice.

It wasn\'t just Puppy, the entire Lu family was here as well, and it was all thanks to a beggar, who told them Li Huowang\'s whereabouts.

Lu Xiucai didn’t want to appear heartless and hugged Li Huowang’s other leg but was kicked away instead.

“Why are you here?” Li Huowang carried Puppy like a chick.

“Senior Li, we are here to find you. You’ve said that you\'d treat Senior Bai\'s eyes, but it’s been so long since you left that we got too worried. We were really anxious and depressed.”

Puppy surreptitiously wiped a ginger on his eyes to force out some tears.

“Go back home!" Li Huowang pointed at the exit and urged, "You\'re not supposed to be here! Shangjing is very dangerous at the moment!”

“Yeah! Master, Shangjing is so dangerous! We got bullied here! You must avenge us, Master!”

Lu Xiucai hugged Li Huowang’s leg again.
