Yan Ze brought the two people back to the general's mansion and strode towards Shen Xu's room.

It was already past noon, and Shen Xu was having dinner alone in his room. When he saw the three people coming over, he looked puzzled.

"Ah Xu." The woman following Yan Ze walked forward and held her arm affectionately, "It's me."

She pulled out the silver needle from behind her ear, revealing her beautiful and heroic phoenix eyes. "Big brother was afraid that no one would protect you, so he sent Ayan and me to sneak into the general's mansion to pick you up."

Chen Xu exclaimed, and then replied, "No need. It's too dangerous for you to come out like this. Brother Ze can protect me."

"Hehe, from today on, I'm a servant of the General's Mansion." Murong Yan said with a grin, "The Yan family's disguise technique is really useful. Today, Qingqing and I walked all the way from East Street to the General's Mansion. We encountered several groups of soldiers on the way, but they didn't recognize us."

Shen Xu frowned, "You are too risky! Brother Yan, when did you become so playful?"

"How can it be considered an adventure? This is my home, and you are not familiar with my environment. What if you wander around and get caught?

I heard that the servants in the general's mansion bullied you. They didn't dare to do that to me before I got into trouble. Bullying you is like bullying me. You are just taking advantage of others' power. You are rebelling against the heavens!" Ye Wanqing took Shen Xu's arm, her face filled with righteous indignation.

"Don't be impulsive. Besides, you are all masters. If you pretend to be a servant, you will be exposed immediately!"

"Don't worry, Ah Xu, we've all done our homework." Murong Yan, wearing a servant's hat and slightly hunched over, and with his disguised, weathered appearance, he looked a bit like a servant. "By the way, Murong Yao took action against his uncle."

Shen Xu helped Ye Wanqing sit on a chair, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for each of the three of them. "I guess it's about time for Murong Yao to take action."

"He couldn't wait any longer. He didn't even use your fan. He directly used a forged official document from the North Sea Kingdom to punish the Liu family."

Yan Ze told Shen Xu everything that happened in the court, and bluntly said that anyone who helped him conquer the world would be a great injustice to such a narrow-minded and scheming emperor.

Shen Xu snorted coldly, "He's quite smart. He knows how to keep the military power in his hands. But without Liu Xiaoru, our next move will be much easier. Oh, and where is Prime Minister Liu imprisoned? I need to find a chance to see him."

"Well, it's not easy to see. There are spies from various forces everywhere. Do you know why the emperor summoned me today? This bastard hasn't even secured his throne yet, and he's just thinking about getting me to backstab a founding minister.

However, the more foolish he is, the better it is for Ayi."

Yan Ze sat down on the chair, removed the silver needles from the acupuncture points behind his ears, and relaxed. He took a sip of tea and rubbed the flesh on his cheek.

"This Ye Fan's face is too thin, it makes my cheeks hurt. If I have to live in Yong'an City for a year or two with this face, I won't even be able to chew meat."

"Brother Ze, you have worked hard. I won't let you pretend for too long. You must be hungry. Eat something." Ye Wanqing handed him the pastries casually and sat quietly beside him watching him eat.

"By the way, Princess, you should put on some makeup later. Make your dark circles darker and your cheeks more concave, so that people can tell at a glance that you have drawn several bowls of blood." Yan Ze said while eating.

Ye Wanqing clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, saying, "I have to find a chance to meet Xu Wanrong and see how vicious her mind is to come up with such a plan to drink my blood."

Murong Yan hurriedly said, "Qingqing, don't be impulsive. What if she gets angry and kills you? That's too dangerous!"

"Okay, next time I donate blood, I'll take you with me." Yan Ze narrowed his eyes, as if he was talking about something very casual. "I've actually never seen it before. What kind of person can make so many men so obsessed? Even Liu Zhang gave up his principles."

Ye Wanqing snorted angrily and cursed, "You vixen."

Shen Xu smiled lightly and shook his hand, "Brother Ze, don't fall for me at first sight. You'll really suck my blood when you come back."

Murong Yan coughed lightly, "Liu Zhang looks serious, but in fact, he can't hold his bottom line and falls for the slightest flirtation. Unlike me, he only loves Qingqing from beginning to end."

"Oh? You dare to swear to God that you didn't covet Ah Xu's beauty from the beginning, you scoundrel." Ye Wanqing mercilessly exposed Murong Yan: "Ah Xu, do you know what he said when he saw me for the first time?

He said, Ah Xu, go to——"

Murong Yan panicked and quickly stepped forward to cover her mouth, blushing and saying, "Qingqing, this is not something you can talk about. Ah Xu is still half my brother after all."

Shen Xu quickly tried to smooth things over, "Stop it, stop it. You two are flirting, don't bring me along."

"By the way, Princess, now that we have the military power, why don't we just attack Yong'an City? We can capture the thief and the leader."

Chen Xu shook his head. "The Western Wasteland Army actually only obeys the orders of the Murong clan. They are equivalent to the Royal Cavalry of the Haoyue Kingdom. However, the Royal Cavalry is loyal to the Royal Court of the Haoyue Kingdom, while the Western Wasteland Army only obeys the orders of the Murong clan."

If we use them to attack Yong'an City, any of the sergeants there will be able to kill you and present you to Murong Yao."

"That's not right. Then why do they obey the orders of Prime Minister Liu?"

"Prime Minister Liu is ultimately following Murong Yao's orders. If he were to rebel with this team alone, he would definitely fail."

Yan Ze thought of something and said quickly, "So, isn't Brother Zhang in danger?"

Murong Yan snorted and said, "Of course not. Apart from being harmed by women, Liu Zhang has never been troubled by anything else."

"Well, that's fine. My Double City Scheme is almost coming to an end. All I need to do is keep everyone alive. Brother Ze, have someone give this evidence to Murong Yao in court tomorrow. He's sure to like it." Chen Xu took out a scroll and curled his lips slightly. "Notify Young Master Lu and have their people withdraw overnight. Make sure the performance is convincing."

"Okay." Yan Ze took the book and opened it. It was a map of the outer city of Yong'an, with several points marked with crosses.

At this moment, Song Lin's voice came from outside the door. Yan Ze quickly put away the roll of paper and was about to go out to greet him, but he heard Shen Xu whispered a reminder: "Face, Brother Ze, face."

Ye Wanqing and Murong Yan also seemed panicked. Disguise is not as simple as inserting two silver needles behind the ears.

Shen Xu quickly opened the cabinet and hid the three people inside.

As soon as the cabinet door was closed, Song Lin walked in, "Xiu Xiu, what are you doing?"

A flash of panic crossed her face, and she subconsciously pushed the cabinet door open. Then she walked over to him, put her hands around his neck, and said, "I didn't do anything. I just missed you."

"Hmm?" Song Lin glanced at the cabinet door in confusion. Seeing her approaching him enthusiastically, he took her arm around her waist. "You seem to be in a good mood today."

"Yes, because I was thinking about you and you came." Shen Xu climbed onto his neck. In order to prevent him from looking away, she held his face and kissed him on tiptoe.

Song Lin couldn't stand her taking the initiative like this, so he grabbed her by the waist and carried her to the bed. "Little greedy cat, what evil ideas are you planning again?"

"What do you think?" Shen Xu smiled and stretched out her legs, letting down the bed curtain.

"Are you in such a hurry? Didn't I feed you enough yesterday?" Song Lin let her cling to his neck and leaned on her intimately. "However, I came here today to discuss something important with you."
