The sky was getting dark.
Long'er, Da Shuang'er, and Xiao Shuang'er have not returned yet.
Princess Jianning laughed and said, "Brother Huan, it's not only difficult for you to send Sister Long and the two Shuang'ers to the Prince of Pingxi's mansion to gather information in broad daylight, but it's also a bit arrogant!"
Li Huan said, "I passed on Ao Bai's full power to Long'er, Da Shuang'er, and Xiao Shuang'er, enhancing their martial arts skills. They must sneak into Wu Sangui's mansion during the day to appear to be highly skilled!"
Princess Jianning chuckled, "That makes sense, that makes sense! As the saying goes, skill breeds boldness!"
Then, Wei Xiaobao and Duolong walked in.
"Lord Li! It's getting dark, time for dinner!"
As Duolong spoke, his stomach rumbled a few times.
Li Huan knew that Duolong was craving something sweet and wanted to eat boxed lunches and drink beer.
Princess Jianning said, "What's the rush? Let's eat when Sister Long and the two Shuang'ers come back."
Wei Xiaobao asked, "Where did they go?"
Princess Jianning said, "I went to the Prince of Pingxi's residence to gather information."
Duolong hurriedly asked, "What kind of information are you looking for? I have arranged many reliable spies around the Prince of Pingxi's residence; they can be responsible for gathering intelligence!"
Princess Jianning was unaware that Ake was an undercover agent within the Prince of Pingxi's residence.
For the sake of safety and to ensure Ake's well-being, Li Huan must not let Princess Jianning know about this matter, nor can he let Duolong know.
Princess Jianning was simple-minded, outspoken, and prone to letting slip what she meant.
As for Duolong, he is a loyal henchman of the court, and we must be wary of him.
Li Huan said, "I'll send Long'er and the two Shuang'ers to find out about Wu Yingxiong. You don't need to ask any more questions, Master."
Duolong, sensing the situation, dared not ask any further questions.
Li Huan said to Wei Xiaobao, "Go to the carriage and get some boxed lunches and beer. Let's eat first, we won't wait any longer."
Wei Xiaobao's stomach rumbled, and he excitedly ran towards the electric tricycle outside the door.
Duolong said, "Lord Li, there is something I am very curious about, but I don't know if I should ask."
Li Huan said, "You can ask what you should ask, but you absolutely cannot ask what you shouldn't ask."
Duolong paused, his expression hesitant.
Li Huan saw through Duolong's thoughts and laughed, "Are you curious how I can make all kinds of delicious dishes every day when I'm never seen in the kitchen?"
Doron grinned: "Yes, yes, I'm very curious."
Princess Jianning quickly said, "I'm curious too!"
Li Huan lied and said, "Actually, I prepare the food in advance every day and store it in the food container. Just because you didn't see it doesn't mean I wasn't busy!"
Duolong said, "I see. Lord Li's culinary skills are superb, reaching a divine level. I admire him greatly."
Just as Wei Xiaobao brought the boxed lunch and beer into the living room, Long'er, Da Shuang'er, and Xiao Shuang'er returned.
Li Huan said, "Better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Hurry up and eat your boxed lunch!"
Long'er said, "Brother Huan, let me tell you about the situation at the Prince of Pingxi's mansion first, and then we'll eat our boxed lunches."
Li Huan nodded in acknowledgment and led Long'er out of the living room.
Arrive at the bedroom.
Li Huan put his arm around Long'er's waist: "What's going on?"
Long'er said, "Shuang'er, Da Shuang'er, and I found A'ke. She lives in Wu Yingxiong's attic."
Li Huan laughed and said, "Keeping a mistress in a golden house, I knew Wu Yingxiong would do that!"
Long'er said, "However, Ake doesn't believe me. She thinks I'm still Wu Sangui's man and misunderstands that Da Shuang'er and Xiao Shuang'er have betrayed the Heaven and Earth Society."
Li Huan said, "Ake is very vigilant."
Long'er said, "I really can't persuade Ake, so I can only bring Da Shuang'er and Xiao Shuang'er back first."
Li Huan said, "It's alright if Ake doesn't believe you. I now know she lives in Wu Yingxiong's attic. Tomorrow, the princess and I will go to the palace and find a chance to see Ake!"
Long'er nodded.
Li Huan kissed Long'er, took her hand, and went to the living room to eat their boxed lunch...
...
the next day.
Li Huan, Princess Jianning, Wei Xiaobao, and Duolong arrived at the Prince of Pingxi's residence.
Wu Sangui personally received them, showing great hospitality.
"I was just about to send someone to the inn to invite Lord Li to my residence to discuss the 'Martial Arts Culinary Competition'!"
Li Huan asked, "Is there anything I can help you with, Your Highness?"
Wu Sangui said, "I have already ordered invitations to be sent out in various places to announce the wedding date of my son and the princess, and at the same time to announce the 'Martial Arts Culinary Competition,' inviting martial arts masters from all walks of life to participate in the competition and gather in Kunming!"
Li Huan said, "Very good, Your Highness is very efficient!"
Wu Sangui said, "For this culinary competition, I have specially set aside one million taels of silver as a reward, which will surely attract many outstanding masters!"
Li Huan said, "Your Highness is so generous, what a lavish gesture!"
Wu Sangui said, "A mere one million taels of silver is nothing to worry about! As long as the princess's wedding can be held in a grand manner, I won't hesitate to spend any amount of money!"
Princess Jianning smiled and said, "With Your Highness's words, I feel at ease."
Wu Sangui said, "My son's marriage to the princess is set for the 15th of this month, and the 'Martial Arts Culinary Competition' will be held at the same time!"
Li Huan asked, "Where is the location?"
Wu Sangui said, "I originally considered holding the wedding and cooking competition in the palace, but I think it's not appropriate. We should find a more spacious place."
"Therefore, I have sent people to the city to set up a venue for the wedding and the cooking competition!"
Li Huan said, "Your Highness has considered everything very thoroughly. Thank you for your hard work!"
Whether in Pingxi Prefecture or elsewhere, whenever Wu Sangui appeared, there was an opportunity to assassinate him.
Wu Sangui said, "Please, Princess, stay at the inn and wait patiently. Ten days later, my son will ride a horse to marry you!"
Princess Jianning said, "I ordered someone to buy a thousand-year-old ginseng and give it to the young prince."
Wu Sangui smiled and said, "Thank you, Princess."
Li Huan cursed under his breath.
You fucking think it's a thousand-year-old ginseng? It's actually a dried carrot.
Princess Jianning said, "Your Highness is busy with official duties, so please don't accompany me. Lord Li and I will go visit the young prince."
Wu Sangui got up and instructed his servants to take the princess to see Wu Yingxiong.
Li Huan, Princess Jianning, Wei Xiaobao, and Duolong went to where Wu Yingxiong was staying.
Arrive at the attic.
Wu Yingxiong was lying on the couch.
A beautiful maidservant was feeding Wu Yingxiong medicine from a porcelain bowl.
While drinking his medicine, Wu Yingxiong touched the maid's waist. He was so focused that he didn't see Li Huan and Princess Jianning walk in.
Li Huan coughed a few times.
Wu Yingxiong then realized what was happening and quickly withdrew his claws.
The maid's face flushed red, and she hurriedly knelt down to pay her respects to Princess Jianning.
Princess Jianning said with a smile, "Oh dear, I've come at the wrong time, disturbing the young prince's enjoyment!"
Wu Yingxiong looked embarrassed: "I... I don't have any leisure time at all. I couldn't straighten my back after taking the medicine and had to support the maid..."
That's incredibly shameless of them, always trying to find excuses for themselves.
Li Huan deliberately asked, "Young Prince, how are your injuries?"
