Luo Yuanqing held his breath and concentrated, trying to figure out the location of the person in the dark.

But the next moment, a gust of knife wind suddenly attacked from the left.

He quickly dodged and pulled out the dagger from his sleeve to block.

The man was wearing a black cloak and a wide hat that almost covered his entire head. He couldn't see the other person's face at all.

He stretched out his hand suddenly, trying to pull the hat off, but the other party moved very quickly, and he didn't even touch the other party's cloak before being forced back several steps by the dagger.

Luo Yuanqing wiped his slightly aching cheek.

Sure enough, it was broken! Such a high level of martial arts?

The only person who could make me so embarrassed, besides my former master, was...

Thinking of this, Luo Yuanqing stopped.

"Is it interesting? Wuming!"

Hearing his words, the cloaked man put down the dagger in his hand and took off his hat, revealing the mask with the pattern of red spider lily carved on it.

Luo Yuanqing rolled his eyes and said sarcastically.

"You want to fight and kill me as soon as we meet. Your way of greeting is as unique and novel as ever!"

Li Wanming's eyebrows were slightly raised on the half of his face that was not covered by the mask.

"Do you think I want to care about you? It's because you always break the rules!"

“Ahem!”

Hearing this, Luo Yuanqing lowered his head slightly and coughed twice as if to hide his embarrassment.

"Before, I just sent people to inquire about the news of the prince of Jinyu Kingdom, but I didn't expect that it would involve the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion."

"But I was just gathering information, I didn't do anything!"

Li Wanming put his left index finger and middle finger together and touched the blade.

"Of course I know, otherwise it wouldn't be this level of tickling!"

"What did you say?!"

Luo Yuanqing pointed at the wound on his face that was still bleeding.

"You call this tickling?!"

"Do you want me to help you too?"

Li Wanming put away the dagger and looked at him with a serious look.

"Help me with something."

Hearing his self-righteous tone, Luo Yuanqing felt aggrieved and replied unhappily.

"No time, I'm busy too!"

Li Wanming sneered, "Why, you used our Yao..."

Noticing Luo Yuanqing's suspicious gaze, he quickly changed his words.

"You used our medicine, but you're denying it so quickly? I asked you to do something but you're still making excuses."

"Your medicine?"

Luo Yuanqing muttered softly and repeated his words.

Immediately he was shocked.

"What?!"

"You mean, the miracle doctor is from your Li family?!"

The news was so shocking that Luo Yuanqing couldn't help but exclaim loudly.

"A miracle doctor?"

Li Wanming chuckled.

"So this is what Shangguan Jin told you?"

He no longer dwelled on this matter and looked at Luo Yuanqing with a serious face.

"I have something important to discuss with Shangguan Jin. Please make the arrangements."

After saying that, he walked quickly towards the main hall of Soul-Destroying Pavilion.

"Do you know whose territory this is? You're so rude!"

Luo Yuanqing muttered something quietly, then resigned himself to sending someone to deliver a message to the Fourth Prince's mansion.

There is no way. I can’t beat him, and I can’t pay him back.

…

Half an hour later, in the main hall of Soul-Sucking Pavilion.

Shangguan Jin looked at the person sitting opposite him for a long time, then he slowly spoke.

"What do you want to see me about?"

Li Wanming picked up the teacup beside him and raised it in his direction.

"Of course I'm here to help the Fourth Prince."

Shangguan Jin lowered his eyes and glanced at the teacup in his hand, then raised his eyebrows slightly, his tone full of doubt.

"The eight people you brought with you?"

"Yes, there are nine of us, and..."

Li Wanming tilted his ears and moved them slightly, confirming that there were only two of them in the hall at this time.

Only then did he feel at ease to display his magical powers in front of Shangguan Jin.

Shangguan Jin just waved his hand, and a one-foot square box appeared on the table.

His eyes widened instantly.

"this……"

Magic trick?! He stared at Li Wanming's hand.

The man was wearing a narrow-sleeved robe, leaving no place to hide the box.

What's more, this box is not small and it is impossible to hide it on the body.

It can only be...

Shangguan Jin whispered softly, "Is this also her method?"

Li Wanming nodded slightly, then opened the box, pushed it in front of him, revealing the contents.

Looking at the strange objects in the box, Shangguan Jin was confused.

Li Wanming tapped the edge of the box with his index finger.

"We know that you have a lot of explosives, but you have definitely never seen a weapon like this."

As he spoke, he picked up the flintlock, stood up, walked to the door, and aimed at the glass vase in the opposite corner.

Before coming, he had already loaded the gunpowder and bullets.

He glanced at Shangguan Zhi and signaled him to look carefully.

Then he pulled the trigger. Shangguan Jin only heard a "bang" and something flew out from the small tube, and then the vase broke.

The noise inside naturally startled Jinshu who was guarding outside.

"Your Highness!"

He quickly ran to the door and wanted to rush in, but was stopped by Han Qi and the others.

Jinshu's face was gloomy and he roared.

"Get out of the way!"

Of course Han Qi and the others wouldn't let them, "Don't worry, your master will be fine."

"If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

As he spoke, the sword in Jinshu's hand was slightly unsheathed.

"Jinshu, I'm fine!"

Shangguan Jin's voice was heard in the room.

Jinshu then breathed a sigh of relief and put the sword back.

Inside, Shangguan Jin looked at the flintlock rifle and was very excited.

Although it can only fire one bullet at a time, the range is very far! If a hundred or so people take turns to change bullets and fire alternately, they can make up for this shortcoming.

Suddenly, a glimmer of understanding flashed across his eyes.

"Shangguan Zhi was defeated by this weapon."

Li Wanming glanced at him and neither said yes nor denied it.

But to Shangguan Jin, this look was tantamount to an admission.

Daqi has actually created a team with such special weapons?! After realizing this, Shangguan Jin was shocked and his face was solemn, with only worry in his heart.

Because of the Heart-Searching Talisman, he could not have any bad thoughts towards Chu Yaoyao and Daqi.

But what if Daqi intends to attack Xiyue?

Li Wanming naturally knew what he was worried about.

Thinking of what the emperor said to him before leaving Beijing, he said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, Daqi's sharp blade will only be aimed at the enemy."

Finally, he added another sentence.

"I didn't say that."

After hearing the latter sentence, Shangguan Jin's expression eased slightly.

Li Wanming's trip must have been instructed by Emperor Daqi, as he has the ability to hold the world in his sleeves and take out such a weapon.

So, is this also a promise from Emperor Qixuan? He was about to say something else when there was a hurried knock on the door.

Jinshu rushed in in a hurry.

"Your Highness, something happened!"

"Our people reported that the third prince died suddenly in the mansion! And..."

He glanced at Li Wanming next to him, walked quickly forward, and whispered something in Shangguan Jin's ear.

Shangguan Jin's face suddenly changed. He patted the armrest of the wheelchair, stood up suddenly, and said through gritted teeth.

"I should have thought of it earlier. He has never been a person who would willingly admit defeat!"
