"The Right Chancellor's life is very regular. He doesn't see outsiders, takes a nap in the courtyard every day, sits at the Fish-Viewing Pavilion in the afternoon, and occasionally visits Young Master Changli and chats with his daughters-in-law. At first glance, there seems to be no problem. But..."

Yuan Fei lowered his voice and continued, "I discovered that the Right Prime Minister visits the Yasu Manor every two days."

"A refined and popular manor? What would he be doing at the manor?"

Zhao Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly remembered and said, "Right, he asked me for the manor house. I thought he was just saying it casually. Did he actually use it?"

Yuan Fei nodded and said, "He always goes there in the early morning, before you, Master, have even gotten up yet. At first, I thought he was just taking a walk, until I saw that there were two guards at the house he was going in and out of, and a maid who went back and forth between the house and the Right Prime Minister's residence every day."

Analyzing the information in Yuan Fei's words, Zhao Cheng said, "There are guards stationed here, and maids coming and going, so this maid must be the one who delivers the food... There's someone hiding in the house!"

Yuan Fei said, “He Zhi always accompanied the Right Prime Minister when he went there, and I dared not get close. I followed my master’s orders and did not dare to lose the Right Prime Minister, so I did not go to investigate the house on my own. But after following him for six days, I saw that the Right Prime Minister would go there on time every two days, which was very suspicious, so I came to report to my master first.”

"You've worked hard on the 6th, but you should be able to rest now."

Zhao Cheng's face darkened, and he said, "That old man is really something, he actually played the 'blind spot' trick on me!"

"Hiding people in the manor, right under my nose, how could he even think of that?!"

Yuan Fei asked doubtfully, "Does Master mean I don't need to follow anymore?"

Zhao Cheng countered, "Are you sure he always goes in the early morning and never goes at night?"

Yuan Fei said with certainty, "The Right Prime Minister is always at the Right Prime Minister's residence at night."

"Okay! Then you get a good rest tonight, and take me tomorrow night."

"yes!"

After agreeing with Yuan Fei, Zhao Cheng went into the private room to continue discussing the money exchange with Xiao Luomu. For him, while his doubts were important, business was even more crucial.

The next day.

The night was still and windless.

Zhao Cheng led Zhao Yan and Yuan Fei toward Zhao Huan's house.

This matter concerns Zhao Huan's secret, so Zhao Cheng naturally wouldn't bring Heng Wenhao along. He had already agreed with Zhao Yan that no matter what happens or what secrets are discovered, Zhao Yan would stand by his side.

In Zhao Cheng's words, only by uncovering our father's true colors can we brothers help him.

As Yuan Fei said, there were two guards in front of the house, and a faint light could be seen inside through the window.

Zhao Cheng stopped, not making any rash moves.

A moment later, the lights went out, and a maid came out of the house and locked the door with a thick lock.

By the moonlight, Zhao Cheng saw the maid's profile and recognized her as Lühe at a glance.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Huan assigned this task to her.

Zhao Cheng's mind raced, and he immediately thought of something deeper.

The old man probably already knew that Green Lotus was a spy sent by Wen Hu!

I thought I was the one who turned Green Lotus to the other side, but I didn't expect that Green Lotus had already been turned by the old man.

wrong!

It's highly likely that Green Lotus was the old man's woman from the very beginning!

Infernal Affairs, the innermost path, the innermost path... This is...

With this in mind, Zhao Cheng became even more curious about the secrets inside the house. After confirming that no one else was coming out of the house, Zhao Cheng waved his hand and led Zhao Yan and Yuan Fei towards the house.

Seeing the three figures suddenly appear, Green Lotus was startled and said, "Young...Young Master!"

Zhao Cheng laughed and said, "Oh, it's Green Lotus. What are you doing here?"

“I…” Green Lotus lowered her head and said, “I, I…”

"Alright, stop wasting time making up lies. I'll go in and see for myself."

Zhao Cheng walked toward the house. Green Lotus did not dare to stop him, but the two guards reached out and blocked Zhao Cheng's way.

Zhao Cheng shouted, "You guys have some nerve, daring to stop me?"

The guards said, "Young Master, no one is allowed to enter without the Right Chancellor's order."

Zhao Cheng put his hand on Zhao Yan's shoulder and said, "It's not just me here, there's also the Third Young Master. What if we insist on going in?"

"Don't make things difficult for them," He Zhi said, walking over from the side with a long spear in his hand.

"Commander He!" Zhao Cheng was taken aback, seemingly not expecting He Zhi to be there as well.

Yuan Fei blamed himself, saying, "Master, it was my fault for not investigating thoroughly enough."

Zhao Cheng said softly, "This is not your fault. You were only responsible for keeping an eye on my father. How could you know that He Zhi would be guarding here at night?"

He Zhi blocked Zhao Cheng's way and said, "Young Master, Third Young Master, you can see that since the Right Prime Minister has assigned me to guard this place every night, this place is very important to the Right Prime Minister. Please go back."

Zhao Cheng asked, "Does Commandant He really not want us to enter?"

He Zhidao said, "When have I ever joked?"

That's true.

Zhao Cheng stepped aside and suddenly shouted, "Third brother!!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yan immediately brandished his spear and stabbed at He Zhi.

He Zhi's expression hardened, seemingly surprised that Zhao Yan would suddenly make a move, but his body reacted quickly, deflecting Zhao Yan's attack with his gun and assuming a fighting stance.

"Third Young Master, are you going to fight me?"

Zhao Yan, brimming with fighting spirit, said, "Commander He followed my father through countless battles in his youth, accumulating numerous merits. I've also heard that when the Dragon Spear Guard was first established, Commander He was the spear instructor for the guard. Although I'm proficient in all eighteen weapons, I love the spear the most, so I'd love to learn from him!"

Zhao Cheng and Yuan Fei quickly retreated further away.

Zhao Cheng asked, "Who do you think is more powerful between the two of them?"

Yuan Fei said, "I don't know, whoever Master says it is, that's who it is."

Zhao Cheng frowned and said, "Why are you so boring? If Zhao Hu were here, he would definitely have made a bet with me."

Yuan Fei said, "But I really don't know... How can my martial arts compare to Zhao Hu's..."

Bang!!

Zhao Yan and He Zhi fought fiercely from the start, and several large craters were immediately smashed in front of the house by their spears, and the grass was torn up.

"That was exhilarating! I've never had the chance to witness Captain He's spear skills before, but today I've truly seen it for myself!"

Zhao Yan fought with increasing ferocity, appearing passive but actually forcing He Zhi to remain vigilant for even a moment.

He Zhidao said, "Third Young Master is indeed a martial arts genius. I was far inferior to you at your age. However... although your spear technique is different from that of the Dragon Spear Guards, it was inspired by and evolved from the Dragon Spear Guards' spear technique. Therefore, it is difficult for you to surpass me in spear technique!"

Zhao Yandao said, "The student may surpass the teacher; what you say may not be true!"

Although Zhao Cheng asked Yuan Fei who was stronger between the two, he subconsciously thought that Zhao Yan was weaker, after all, He Zhi was the second-ranked expert by Zhao Huan's side.

After witnessing the actual combat situation between the two, Zhao Cheng was not surprised that He Zhi was weaker than he had thought, but rather that Zhao Yan was incredibly strong!

He suddenly realized that Zhao Yan had loved martial arts since childhood, and it was no exaggeration for him to say that he was proficient in all eighteen weapons.

Zhao Yan's swordsmanship was first taught by Zhao Hu.

I was first taught swordsmanship by Yang Taozhi.

The Dragon Spear Guards were my first teachers of spear techniques.

The other weapons were also taught to Zhao Huan by the experts around him...

He has combined the strengths of many schools of thought!

Zhao Cheng was once again impressed by his younger brother and suddenly had confidence in his ability to defeat He Zhi!
