Jia Xu was sitting at his desk with his eyes closed, resting. On the desk were two secret letters, one from Cheng Yu and the other from the Emperor.
Li Hu stepped forward and bowed in greeting.
"Shangguan!"
Jia Xu opened his eyes, looked at Li Hu, and then asked, "Hmm, where are they?"
Li Hu respectfully reported, "Reporting to my superior, we have arrived at the inn within the city!"
Jia Xu nodded and said softly, "Alright, make arrangements for tonight. I'm going to meet this Li Wenyou!"
Li Hu nodded. "No problem! But..."
"But what? Next time, just say what you want to say!"
Jia Xu frowned and glanced indifferently at Li Hu. Although he liked to keep things mysterious, he didn't like others to keep things mysterious to him!
Li Hu quickly lowered his head, "I discovered that after Li Ru and his group entered the inn, there were other people following them!"

After a moment's thought, Li Hu said in a deep voice, "It should be those constables! If they're targeting Li Ru, there are plenty of ways to assassinate them!"
"Their aim might be to frame him and then completely destroy Li Ru's hopes!"
Jia Xu chuckled lightly, "Heh~ What a brilliant move to kill someone by destroying their spirit!"
Then Jia Xu looked at Li Hu and said, "Have someone keep a close eye on those suspicious people. As soon as they make a move, take them down immediately!"
"promise!"
"This is really interesting!"
Jia Xu couldn't help but chuckle. What was originally a simple matter had unexpectedly become somewhat complicated. It seemed that someone else had gotten involved behind the scenes.
