Chapter 280 Arresting people
Lou Xiao still couldn't understand why Li Huaiqing mentioned the former King of Zheng.
But speaking of him disappearing without a trace - could he be hiding in Nanzi?
It is not impossible.
Senior Sister would definitely not let him live freely. Just from listening to Li Huaiqing's talk, one could tell how difficult Senior Sister's life was in the palace.
Life in Yunwu Mountain was hard, but at least she never had to worry about her life, nor did she have to engage in intrigue with others.
Nanzi was not a monolithic entity, and the imperial court was not able to fully control it. The connections between the villages were not very close.
Therefore, hiding in Nanzi is extremely safe.
If we want to catch him, it may not be easy without the cooperation of the people of Nanzi.
"Do you know where he is? Qieyue Village?"
Qieyue Village is the largest village in Nanzi, with the strongest power, good at poison, and a large population.
And judging from today’s sacrifice, even if Nanzi is no longer united, Qieyue Village still has its status.
If we take control of this place and manage it slowly, we may be able to unify Nanzi in the future.
If you have any other intentions——
This is really a big worry for my senior sister.
Li Huaiqing shook his head, "He is not in Qieyue Village."
The leader and the chief priest of Qieyue Village are quite smart and will not let an outsider to take charge of important affairs in the village.
He had contacted the people of Qieyue Village before entering Nanzi. Now it seems that the former King Zheng might have thought about it but failed.
but--
"But there are people in Qieyue Village working for him, and that's why I'm here."
He has people given by the previous emperor around him, and it is unrealistic to catch them all at once.
Li Huaiqing entered Nanzi and saw the dangerous geology here, which was very easy to hide.
He didn't think that the people he led could catch the former King Zheng who had countless supporters around him.
However, it would be possible if we could cut off his arm and drive him out of Nanzi.
This required Nanzi's cooperation, so he had actually reached an agreement with the village chief.
Qieyue Village will also take the opportunity to help.
Should I tell Lou Xiao about all this?
Li Huaiqing is not a hesitant person. With an unspeakable purpose in mind, Li Huaiqing made a prompt decision and hoped that Lou Xiao would also join in the pursuit of the rebels.
"I heard that Miss Lou is killing people everywhere in Nanzi, and no one dares to offend her. Could you please lend me a helping hand?"
Lou Xiao agreed without hesitation. She was doing things for her senior sister, so there was nothing much to say.
"Who is it from Qieyue Village?"
Li Huaiqing blinked and looked at Lou Xiao's expression, "He once tried to take control of Qieyue Village but failed, but he also lured a man to steal the treasure of Qieyue Village and give it to him."
Stolen treasure?
The treasure of Qieyue Village is... Gu?
Lou Xiao inexplicably had a bad feeling and asked, "What's your name?"
Li Huaiqing stared at Lou Xiao closely, and spoke word by word under her gaze.
"When he was in Nanzi, he had no name. After he followed the former King Zheng to rebel against Nanzi, he took someone else's name, Mo Jingchun."
Lou Xiao and Li Huaiqing looked at each other deeply. Lou Xiao confirmed that he was not lying and was speechless for a long time.
Don't be surprised by spring?
"You mean he is the former King Zheng's man."
Did he approach her on purpose? Did he meet this sister's greatest enemy without her knowing?
etc·······
The former King Zheng was known for his beauty, and the one she had seen in recent days was one whose appearance far surpassed others.
"No, he's here! He's right here!"
Lou Xiao stood up and drew his sword with his backhand, "He took advantage of the sacrifice to sneak in... and hid in the crowd!"
Li Huaiqing was not surprised at all, and said leisurely, "Miss Lou came to Nanzi with Mo Jingchun, right? Of course he is here."
"not him!"
Lou Xiao took a step closer, looked at Li Huaiqing and said, "I'm talking about the former King Zheng."
Li Huaiqing didn't believe it at first. How could it be so easy for her to see it? He had been looking for the former King Zheng for all these days but had no clue at all.
"Have you seen him?" Li Huaiqing pointed out the former King Zheng's preferences slowly.
"He is so proud of his good looks that he would wear only brocade clothes, and he would also wear something unique and one of a kind in the world.
When I was the King of Zheng, what I liked to do most was to find an unknown person and guess whether he was a man or a woman—"
If you guess right, you will be killed. If you guess wrong, you will not survive.
"Miss Lou, was he also asking you about this topic? How did you answer?"
Lou Xiao looked impatient, "No, I met him a few times, but we didn't interact much.
But a few days ago, a man who claimed to be the Holy Son of Nanzi suddenly appeared in the nine-story tower..."
The first time Lou Xiao saw him, he was wearing a mask with only his eyes exposed. This time, he covered his eyes with the pendant on his hat, so Lou Xiao was unable to recognize him for a moment.
But Anilan said that Qizi was already the best man in Nanzi, so the man who claimed to be the Holy Son of Nanzi could only be an outsider.
His clothes were even more luxurious and dazzling than those of Anilan, the future high priest.
Even today, during the sacrifice, countless Nanzi villagers, whether from other villages or the head of Qieyue Village, were gathered in the square.
No one was dressed as gorgeously as he was.
Why did he come to see me?
"Nanzi Holy Son?" Li Huaiqing chuckled. "He attaches great importance to his status as a prince. How could he call himself something else?"
"He said his name was Huang Zheng." Lou Xiao said this and blocked Li Huaiqing's mouth. "Tell me, is it possible for such a coincidence?"
Li Huaiqing was silent.
Lou Xiao didn't wait for his reply and was about to jump off the roof to catch someone. Li Huaiqing said behind her,
"If it's really him, why would he look for you? I don't believe he doesn't know who you are."
Lou Xiao didn't even turn around, "How should I know? He came when I was sleeping, and he didn't do anything, just said a few words, it didn't mean anything."
She even felt that he was just being perfunctory. It seemed like he came to see her in person and up close. Lou Xiao didn't think there was anything wrong with him looking at her.
"Asleep?" Li Huaiqing was about to say something but stopped. With Lou Xiao's current strength, could he still be sneaked into while she was sleeping?
Li Huaiqing remembered that they had been talking for so long about how he came to Nanzi, but he still didn't know why Lou Xiao came to Nanzi.
Don't be surprised by spring?
Not like.
Only Senior Sister and Xiao Zhengdu knew about Lou Xiao's physical condition. Before she left, Li Huaiqing was busy, and His Majesty only told him that he would meet Lou Xiao in Nanzi.
But she didn't tell him why Lou Xiao was in Nanzi.
But now it seems that Lou Xiao has no intention of explaining to him.
Seeing that Lou Xiao was about to jump down and leave him alone on the roof, Li Huaiqing, who had no martial arts skills, stopped her.
"Lou Xiao, wait. What are you going to do?"
Lou Xiao was puzzled, "Catch him."
Li Huaiqing said awkwardly, "Then take me down first."
Lou Xiao then realized something was wrong and hurried over.
