Panlong Village is located in the southwest of Taomu Mountain. There are many peach trees near the village, but it is probably because of the dry weather now.
It was already three quarters past three in the afternoon. A gentle breeze blew, bringing a burst of hot air to people's bodies.
Dead peach trees can be seen everywhere on Taomu Mountain, and only a small number of them are still standing.
In a remote corner of Panlong Village, in a thatched hut, two people were talking.
The thatched house doesn't look very good from the outside, but it looks very clean and tidy inside.
"Boss, it's been so long. Have you found out any news? Please don't ruin my plan."
A beautiful woman was leaning against a collapsed wall in the room, talking to the leader of Panlong Village with a coquettish look on her face.
This person was the woman Yuan Xichen had met before, named "Li Niangzi", one of the killers of Xuanlie Tower.
"Your Excellency, I have learned that the Chen King Yuan Xichen is close to a farmer's daughter named Yu Qingshu.
It's not easy to get close to Prince Chen, as he's surrounded by experts. I think this Yu Qingqing might be the breakthrough point, so why don't we start with her?"
The chief of Panlong Village answered Madam Li very respectfully. This man was the chief of Panlong Village, and his surname was Cui.
Others usually call him Cui Dadangjia. On the surface, Cui Dadangjia is a bandit, but secretly he is the intelligence organization of Xuanlielou, specializing in collecting information for Xuanlielou.
His martial arts skills are not weak either. He came to the mountains to be a bandit just to hide his true identity.
"Oh? Are you serious? As far as I know, His Royal Highness Prince Chen is not interested in women! Have you inquired carefully?"
When Lady Li said this, she gritted her teeth a little, remembering the last time she met Yuan Xichen, he didn't even look at her. She even doubted her beauty at that time.
"Of course it's true. Before you came, the master sent a message to me, asking me to fully cooperate with you and complete the mission as soon as possible.
Moreover, my master sent me a bottle of strong poison. Even if it doesn't kill me immediately, it can at least paralyze me on one side of my body.
Just apply a little bit on the knife and it will be effective. I have kept it well. Since you are here, I will give it to you for safekeeping."
Cui Dadang was very attentive and took out a bottle of poison from his sleeve, and Madam Li took it. Cui Dadang looked at Madam Li for a few more times, and his mind began to wander.
This lady Li is really beautiful, but she is the kind of person who has the desire but not the courage to do something evil.
"Well, this is a poison called 'Nine Demons', which can paralyze a person's nerves. After being poisoned, you won't die immediately, but you will be paralyzed after a quarter of an hour.
"It's probably just half paralysis, not the whole body. It seems the person who placed the order also wanted Prince Chen to suffer a little and not die so quickly. This is really vicious."
Mrs. Li chuckled and placed the porcelain vase on the small table beside her. Her smile also fascinated Mr. Cui, who was sitting next to her and was also full of imagination.
"Boss Cui, what's with your expression? What's wrong?" Lady Li was also a little annoyed when she saw Boss Cui's unpredictable expression next to her.
"No! Nothing? I was just wondering how to use this poison. King Chen is not easy to approach, didn't I just say that?
We can start with Yu Qingqing. I have an idea, but I don’t know if I should tell you or not. I may need to trouble you personally to do it.”
Boss Cui came back to his senses in time. He didn't have the courage to let Lady Li know what he was thinking, otherwise his life would be in danger.
"Oh? You have an idea? Tell me about it. If it's feasible, it's not impossible. Tell me about it in detail first, and then I'll make a decision."
After hearing this, Lady Li's expression softened somewhat. It was indeed difficult to approach King Chen, so it would be good to have a point of entry.
"Okay, Your Excellency, please take a look at this first. This is a portrait of Yu Qingqing that I asked someone to paint.
Although it’s not 100% similar, but it’s more than 90% similar, there’s no problem. Please take a look first.”
Boss Cui took out a portrait from his arms. The beautiful woman in the portrait was Yu Qingqing. If you didn't look carefully, you could really mistake her for Yu Qingqing.
"Hey! This woman is really good-looking. She looks quite young. Her figure is quite similar to mine.
Why are you showing this to me? Are you asking me to disguise myself like her?"
Seeing the portrait of Yu Qingqing on it, Madam Li had a rough idea in her mind.
"Yes, Your Excellency! Yu Qingqing has been getting closer to Prince Chen recently.
I got the news that King Chen is very concerned about her affairs, so what I mean is, please disguise yourself as Yu Qingqing and then approach King Chen.
This will make it easier to get close to him. I'm sorry to trouble you, Your Excellency. I'll put poison on the knife. This poison only works when it comes into contact with blood.
So, Your Holiness, you don’t need to worry too much about getting hurt by mistake.”
Boss Cui suggested that Lady Li disguise herself as Yu Qingqing, so that she could get twice the result with half the effort in contacting Yuan Xichen.
“What you said makes sense, but where should I go to contact him?
Yuan Xichen's whereabouts are erratic, how can we approach him without making him suspicious?"
Mrs. Li felt that this method was feasible to implement, but the details needed to be discussed.
"Your Excellency, don't worry! I have already discovered the exact location of the cave where Yu Qingqing and the others live.
I will send someone to implement the first step of the plan later. After the first step is successful, Your Excellency can disguise yourself as Yu Qingqing and come out again.
Things will naturally proceed in a logical manner afterwards."
Boss Cui had a calculating look on his face, and his smile was particularly obscene, as if his plan was already half successful before he even started to implement it.
"Oh? You have more detailed arrangements, right? Then tell me about it first, I want to hear it and see if it's okay."
Lady Li became interested in Mr. Cui's suggestion and thought she could listen to it first and make a decision based on the idea later.
"Okay, Your Excellency, come here! Come closer to me, be careful, there are eavesdroppers on the other side of the wall."
Boss Cui looked mysterious and cautious, and in the eyes of others, he looked like he was going to do something big.
"Okay! You'd better say something useful, otherwise you'll be in trouble."
Madam Li moved her body, looking as weak as a willow, and slowly stood up and walked towards the head of the Cui family.
When the Cui family leader saw Madam Li coming over, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic. With a hint of obscenity in his eyes, he stared at Madam Li's figure.
