It turned out that after he and Zhuque realized that someone was following them, Taoyaojun immediately went to fight the other party.
Moreover, after several attempts to test him, he discovered that the other party's martial arts skills and internal strength were slightly inferior to his own, so he decided to capture one alive and take him back.
Unexpectedly, at the crucial moment, that person used some kind of sinister hidden weapon.
Because he underestimated his opponent from the very beginning, Tao Yaojun was caught off guard and fell into a trap.
"That damn guy, I don't know what he pulled out, but I saw a cloud of multicolored smoke come out, and then everything went black, and I don't know anything anymore..."
Tao Yaojun spoke with great passion, angrily denouncing the atrocities of the unknown thief.
Li Chang'an listened silently to the sound of the music, his brows furrowing as he looked thoughtful.
At the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
To be able to severely injure an opponent despite being inferior in every aspect, and still manage to escape successfully, the Dark Night Pavilion is indeed extraordinary.
Furthermore, it can now be confirmed that the person who fought against Tao Yaojun is the same person who fought against Zhuque.
"Let's not stand outside any longer, let's go inside and talk in detail."
Li Chang'an said to Tao Yaojun.
Tao Yaojun nodded, then said indignantly, "I don't know what kind of poison that guy used, but now I can't muster any strength, and my meridians feel blocked. I don't even know how I climbed onto the wall just now..."
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an's expression darkened further. He hadn't expected the side effects of the poison to be so strong, which explained why Tao Yaojun had fallen off the wall so easily.
Li Chang'an helped Tao Yaojun into the house, then asked with slight concern, "Did you run into Cang Yun? And why have you come here now?"
After hearing this, Tao Yaojun frowned and shook her head, saying, "I have never seen Cangyun before. When I woke up, I felt dizzy and didn't know how I got here. I saw that the wall seemed to be facing your courtyard, so I thought I would climb in to find you first."
"Oh no, Feng Beichuan sent Cangyun to look for you!"
Looking at the person in front of him, Li Chang'an couldn't help but think helplessly that Cang Yun was probably going to work all night without any results.
But Tao Yaojun looked indifferent. Upon hearing this, he simply waved his hand and said, "It's alright. Anyway, it's almost dawn. I'll rest and get ready before heading to the Regent's Palace."
Li Chang'an then nodded slightly and told Tao Yaojun about their encounter with an imposter.
After listening to Li Chang'an's account, Tao Yaojun slammed her hand on the table in anger and said, "No wonder I woke up to find all my clothes gone! It turns out that perverted guy stole them! How despicable! He even dared to impersonate me! That bastard, he better pray to God that I don't catch him again, otherwise I will definitely make him regret being born!"
Seeing Tao Yao's face contorted with hatred, Li Chang'an couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Then, she looked at the wrinkled and ill-fitting clothes that Tao Yaojun was wearing, and a look of surprise appeared on her face. She then said, "No way, you mean your clothes have been stripped off?"
Faced with such questions, Tao Yaojun felt both ashamed and angry. He felt that he was already in such a miserable state, yet he was still being ridiculed. It was simply too much!
But what Li Chang'an was thinking about was the scene of this person waking up to find himself completely naked, and then frantically searching for clothes to wear.
She simply couldn't imagine what such a meticulous person would be like after encountering something like that.
"Don't overthink it. That guy really did steal my outer coat; the clothes underneath are perfectly fine. If he even stole my undergarment, then he'd be a complete pervert!"
Seeing the woman's incredibly expressive face, Tao Yaojun couldn't help but roll her eyes at her twice before offering her own explanation.
Even so, he still felt ashamed, and finally he told Li Chang'an, "I'm telling you, this is a secret between you, me and me. Don't tell anyone else, understand?"
When Li Chang'an adjusted Tao Yao's slightly flushed face as she spoke these words, he felt both helpless and amused. However, he dared not show it too obviously, so he could only nod and suppress his laughter as he said, "Of course, don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone else about this."
Tao Yaojun was relieved upon hearing this. She then poured herself another cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp. After that, she asked Li Chang'an what had happened after he left.
Upon learning that Zhuque had been poisoned, Taoyao asked with great concern, "How is she now? Has the poison been cured?"
So Li Chang'an then told Tao Yaojun about Feng Beichuan inviting Yan Qianhe to detoxify Zhuque, and about the Dark Night Pavilion.
After listening to Li Chang'an's words, Tao Yaojun nodded slightly, and then said, "I see. It's really fortunate that Yan Qianhe, that wicked woman, was there, otherwise, the poison of the Dark Night Pavilion would be difficult to cure..."
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an felt a wave of exasperation. She then recalled the earlier argument between Yan Qianhe and Feng Beichuan, and secretly thought to herself that if Yan Qianhe knew about those words, it would probably lead to another war.
Suddenly, Tao Yaojun seemed to remember something and turned to Li Chang'an, asking, "The top assassin of the Dark Night Pavilion is a master of disguise. How did you recognize that the person he was impersonating was not me?"
"Actually, I wasn't quite sure at first. I just thought that the person's walking posture looked a bit strange, not like your usual way. It wasn't until later that I noticed that the mask he was wearing was missing the cinnabar beauty mark that Miss Liu had put on it, that I was sure that the person wasn't you."
After hearing Li Chang'an's words, Tao Yaojun nodded approvingly. Then she took out her own mask and examined it carefully. She gently stroked the red dot under the eye socket of the mask and murmured to herself, "Truly, an unintentional act has yielded unexpected results..."
Just then, the two heard the sound of a rooster crowing outside. Looking out the window, they saw that the sky was beginning to lighten.
Daylight broke.
