Loxi sighed, called for people to carry the body out, and instructed them to give it a proper burial.

Today is really not a good day.

"Can you still get any information from the Red Mansion now?" she asked Baihu.

"Alright!" Baihu nodded: "Only if the main altar is breached, the other strongholds of the Red Mansion will remain safe and sound."

It's actually quite ironic.

Luo Xi took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and quickly considered the current situation. When she opened them again, her eyes were clear and resolute.

"White Tiger, mobilize everyone in the Red Mansion to search for Nine Strings' whereabouts. Everyone else, be ready for a major battle at any time."

"Yes!" Everyone stood up and bowed to Luo Xi.

It's true what they say: the tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease.

However, before Baihu could find out anything, Xiao He's envoy arrived again. Luo Xi thought for a moment and then called all the important members of Nanyue to the study to see what Xiao He was up to.

"Luo Xi, our Prime Minister said that if you hand over the treasure that produces the magical spring water and Nan Wushang, Jiu Xian will return safely. Otherwise, you won't even see his corpse." The envoy spoke arrogantly, his chin held high.

So that's what Xiao He was planning with the treasure and Nan Wushang!

They really haven't given up their wicked intentions.

Loxi stared intently at him: "There's no treasure, it's just a secret recipe made from medicinal herbs."

The envoy clicked his tongue twice and said sarcastically, "It seems that the Ninth Master is not so important to you. I wonder if he will be saddened to hear this, given that he is seriously injured and on the verge of death."

"But I'm only responsible for relaying messages. Whether you want to switch is up to you."

The envoy finished speaking with a contemptuous smile, turned around and prepared to leave, but suddenly felt a chill on his neck, a suffocating sensation came instantly, and then he fell to the ground with a "thud" and died.

Rosie withdrew her right hand.

“The prefect’s residence is not a place where anyone can come and go as they please,” she said.

Those present were stunned for a moment. It is said that when two countries are at war, envoys should not be killed. It seems that Xiao He has really angered the leader this time.

White Tiger was extremely anxious: "Boss, what do we do now?"

He understands the importance of the sacred water to Nanyue and to everyone, but what should we do, OP?

At this moment, Nan Wushang stood up on his own, stared into Luo Xi's eyes and said, "Didn't Xiao He still want me? Why don't you hand me over, Boss? Maybe you can get back the Ninth Master you've been longing for."

His tone was sarcastic.

Loxi: "..."

"Shut up!" She shot him a sharp glare. "Trading bargaining chips with someone like Xiao He? Do you think I'm stupid?"

He even killed the emperor; who can be sure this isn't yet another of his conspiracies?

If we actually agree, the chances of things going terribly are much higher.

It would be better if they found the person themselves and rescued them without anyone noticing.

"So, I still hold some weight in the boss's heart, right?" Nan Wushang's eyebrows curved slightly upwards, seemingly in a somewhat pleasant mood.

This guy who's being focused on something, I don't know what's gotten into him, Luo Xi can't be bothered to even talk to him anymore.

“Si Jia Yin Li, it’s the same as always. I’m leaving things here to you. I’m setting off for the capital to find Jiu Xian right away.”

The two men whose names were called immediately stood up and promised, "Don't worry, boss, we will definitely do a good job and there will be no mistakes."

None of them knew martial arts, so all they could do now was ensure that the leader had no worries.

I hope that the Ninth Floor Master and the Boss will be blessed with good fortune and return safely.

"That's good." Luo Xi smiled, then called Chu Zhe and Bai Hu, and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Wei Qing walked over with a worried look in his eyes: "Boss, please be careful. We are here waiting for you to come back."

He had a premonition that if Nanyue lost its leader, everything here would fall apart.

They were all gathered together because of her.

Rong Bai also put away his usual playful smile and earnestly instructed, "Wei Qing is right. If all else fails, Boss, just give Nan Wushang and the Divine Water Secret Formula to Xiao He. Nothing is more important than life."

Nan Wushang: "..."

His eyes fixed on them with a sinister glint.

This time, however, he didn't argue with Rong Bai. Instead, he turned around, picked up the wooden box that had been prepared on the table, and stuffed it into Luo Xi's arms.

"These are some medicines I made; you might find them useful. Also, don't die out there."

"It's just a nine-stringed instrument, not worth it." After saying that, he turned around and strode away, just like this time when he came to the study specifically to deliver medicine to Luo Xi.

Luo Xi felt the heavy box in her hand and was stunned for a moment.

"Boss, there's a letter for you." At that moment, the guard at the gate came in with a letter and handed it to Luo Xi.

“A child just gave this to me. I saw that it was addressed to the Chief and took it. I checked it and there is nothing wrong with the letter.”

letter?

Rosie was a little puzzled. Who would send her a letter in such a way?

Before Luo Xi could figure it out, Yin Li rushed over in a panic and snatched the letter from her.

"This, this... it's him, it really is him." Yin Li's hands were trembling as she held the letter.

"Who?" Rose had a guess in her mind.

Sure enough, Yin Li raised his head, gently touching the words on the envelope with his right hand, and said, "Yes, it's Xiao Yi, this is definitely his handwriting."

"Hmph! Traitor, why bother with him? Just throw him out." Rong Bai really looked down on Xiao Yi.

“Someone like him must have had enough of living over there and now wants to come back to find the boss.”

Yin Li opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she closed her mouth sadly.

"Boss, shall we open it?" he asked.

"Let's see what he has to say," Luo Xi gestured.

Going to save Jiuxian won't make a difference if we wait a little longer.

Yin Li's expression softened, and she quickly opened the letter, glancing at its contents.

However, the more he read, the faster his expression changed. When he finished reading the last word, Yin Li's eyes shone with an astonishing light: "As expected, as expected, he is still on our side."

"Boss, Xiao Yi's letter tells us where the Ninth Master is imprisoned. He even drew a detailed map on it. Take a look." Like a child, he excitedly showed the contents of the letter to Luo Xi.

Luo Xi glanced up and saw that it was indeed true.

"Boss, just in case." Rong Bai still didn't trust Xiao Yi: "Who knows if he's with his father, setting a trap for us?"

“But whether it’s a trap or not, as long as we still want to save the Ninth Master, we have no choice but to go, right?” Si Jia looked at Luo Xi and explained their current situation.
