Li Huan was a favorite of Emperor Kangxi, which is why he was denounced as a "traitor" by the one-armed nun.
Li Huan could understand this.
However, Li Huan could not accept being mistaken for a eunuch.
Li Huan quickly said, "You're wrong, Li Huan is not a eunuch at all!"
Ake was taken aback: "He's not a eunuch?"
Li Huan said, "If Li Huan were a eunuch, how could he have become a Grand Secretary and been granted the title of Duke of Luding? It is common knowledge that eunuchs are not allowed to participate in court affairs!"
Ake nodded: "What you said makes sense..."
Anan hurriedly said, "If Li Huan weren't a eunuch, he should be killed even more!"
Li Huan asked, "Why?"
Anan said, "Since Li Huan is not a eunuch, he will abuse many innocent women."
Li Huan sighed deeply.
This shows that the one-armed nun hated not only Emperor Kangxi, but also Li Huan.
As the saying goes, those who hate a person will also hate his servants!
Ake commanded, "Quickly take us to find Li Huan!"
Li Huan said, "Great hero, this is not right. Although I, Wei Xiaobao, am not a hero, I am not one to betray my friends!"
Ake threatened, "If you dare to utter another word, I'll stab you through the throat with my sword."
Li Huan said, "Alright, a wise man submits to circumstances. Since I've become the great hero's prisoner, I have no choice but to obey your orders."
So, Ake and Anan escorted Li Huan out of the room.
Upon entering the next room, they saw Wei Xiaobao and Duolong playing a drinking game with great enthusiasm, while Wei Chunhua poured wine for Duolong with a charming smile.
Ake asked, "Who is Li Huan?"
Li Huan almost burst out laughing.
Ake and A'nan are complete novices in the martial arts world; they lack even this basic judgment.
Before Wei Xiaobao could even speak, Li Huan pointed at him and said, "That's Li Huan!"
Ake released Li Huan and charged at Wei Xiaobao with her sword.
Instantly, Wei Xiaobao was so frightened that he hid, tripped, and almost fell.
"Who are you? Why are you trying to kill me?"
Ake said, "Li Huan, I'll make sure you die knowing why! I am the disciple of the One-Armed Nun, my name is Li Ke!"
Wei Xiaobao hurriedly cried out, "I'm not Li Huan!"
Without saying a word, Ake and Anan attacked Wei Xiaobao.
"Help! Help!" Wei Xiaobao fled for his life, running towards the hall, with Ake and A'nan in hot pursuit.
Immediately afterwards, a group of guards in plain clothes arrived and surrounded Ake and Anan, and a fierce fight broke out between them.
Li Huan stood in the corner, looking up to observe.
He noticed two young men standing on the second floor, waving folding fans and watching the spectacle with smiles on their faces.
These two young men were Wu Sangui's son, Wu Yingxiong, and Long'er, a woman disguised as a man.
Now, Long'er has regained her true form, acquired all the power of the previous leader, and become the leader of the Divine Dragon Sect.
The actress who played Long'er was Brigitte Lin.
Her beauty is different from that of Michelle Reis.
Suddenly, a guard chopped off Ake's hat, revealing her beautiful, jet-black hair.
Wei Xiaobao and Duolong were overjoyed when they saw it and praised it in unison.
Wow! What a hot girl!
Li Huan laughed, "You two just realized? I knew she was disguised as a man a long time ago!"
Duolong asked, puzzled, "Lord Li, why did you say that Steward Wei is Li Huan?"
Li Huan said, "Nonsense! If I admitted that I was Li Huan, wouldn't I be killed by the female assassin with a single sword strike?"
Wei Xiaobao said, "Brother Huan, you're not even afraid of Ao Bai, why would you be afraid of two women?"
Li Huan feigned a suggestive expression: "If it's an ugly woman, of course I'm not afraid. If it's a beautiful woman, then I'll... hehe..."
Wei Xiaobao, his eyes gleaming, quickly said, "I understand! You want to win over this hot girl!"
Duolong said, "Simple! I'll order my men to capture them alive and present them to Lord Li!"
Li Huan said, "Don't rush it. You can't force things. I want to get to know Ake slowly, build a deep relationship, and then things will naturally fall into place!"
Wei Xiaobao laughed and said, "Get to know each other slowly? I don't think that's necessary. In my opinion, we can help Huan get A'ke and A'nan as soon as possible."
Duolong asked curiously, "What are Manager Wei's secrets to picking up girls?"
Wei Xiaobao said, "I went along with it and pretended to be Li Huan. Brother Huan said he was a chivalrous undercover agent in the palace. After the guards captured Ake and A'nan, I took out a bottle of wine and said it was poisoned wine. I claimed that as long as Brother Huan drank the poisoned wine, I would release Ake and A'nan!"
Duolong hurriedly said, "Then, Lord Li can put on a show, saying that the poison is taking effect and that two women need to sacrifice themselves to cure it..."
Wei Xiaobao chuckled lewdly, "Hehehe, that's right, let's do it that way. How could you be so in sync with me!"
Duolong said, "Likewise, likewise, Steward Wei and I are kindred spirits!"
Li Huan's face darkened: "How could I use such despicable methods on a beautiful and pure woman?"
Wei Xiaobao said, "To woo a girl, you have to be ruthless, otherwise you'll miss your chance and the fat meat that's already in your mouth will be snatched away by wild dogs!"
Li Huan said, "Look, the person standing on the second floor is Wu Sangui's son, Wu Yingxiong!"
Wei Xiaobao and Duolong looked up at the second floor.
Wei Xiaobao asked, "There are two people in total. Which one is Wu Yingxiong?"
Duolong said, "The young master on the right should be Wu Yingxiong. It's strange, how come he, as a prince, would be in the Lichun Courtyard?"
Wei Xiaobao laughed and said, "Your Highness is a man too. The Lichun Courtyard is full of beauties. It's perfectly normal for Wu Yingxiong to come here because of its reputation and want to have a drink with the ladies!"
Li Huan said, "If I pretend to be a hero and trick Ake with poisoned wine in front of Wu Yingxiong, wouldn't that give Wu Yingxiong the opportunity to 'save the beauty' and make Ake develop feelings for him?"
Wei Xiaobao was taken aback, then nodded: "Brother Huan is right!"
Li Huan said, "Picking up girls is also a skill. If you're not good at it, it's better not to try at all than to make things worse and give your rival an opportunity!"
Duolong gave a thumbs up: "Wow, Lord Li's words are truly golden advice! I will remember them well, write them down, and read them every day!"
Wei Xiaobao said, "In Huan-ge's opinion, how do you handle A'ke and A'nan?"
Li Huan said, "Take them down first, lock them in a cell, and I'll have my own way of handling it."
As soon as she finished speaking, the longsword in Ake's hand was cut off, and several guards captured her alive, holding steel knives to her neck.
Immediately afterwards, Anan was also defeated and captured.
Duolong stepped forward, laughing heartily.
"You two women dare to dream of killing Lord Li? You're dreaming! Lock them up in the cell and await your fate!"
The guards obeyed the order and escorted Ake and Anan away.
"Wait a minute!"
Wu Yingxiong descended the stairs, waving a folding fan, appearing quite elegant.
Long'er followed behind, a somewhat arrogant smile on her face.
Li Huan deliberately asked, "Who are you?"
