Tang Chen wiped his nose and tears while choking and said, "Can you speak more simply? I don't understand."
Based on the information they had currently gathered, they deduced that Qinghe's acquisition of the Black Pearl must have been discovered by someone with ulterior motives. This person then arranged for someone who looked exactly like Ouyang Ming to suddenly appear, disrupting their original plans.
To ensure the existence of the fake Ouyang Ming was legitimate, someone arranged for Black Crow to assassinate the real Ouyang Ming. However, this didn't seem plausible. Who on earth could have such incredible power to find the incognito Ouyang Ming? Qingliang Valley and Princess Qinghe's residence had spent countless efforts, but they couldn't find this person hiding right under their noses. Who was this person?
Just when they were worried about the whereabouts of Hei Ya and Mr. Ouyang, a person who had been temporarily forgotten by them slowly left the Qinghe County prison with heavy steps in the evening.
After Yan Shaoqing was released, he stumbled into the abandoned courtyard outside the city; it was already deserted. Yue Sheng had completely vanished from his life. He didn't know when they would meet again, nor did he know if it would be the same Yan Shaoqing Yue Sheng knew.
...After dealing with his affairs and recuperating for a while, Yue Sheng disbanded the Huayue Tower. The Huayue Tower in Wujiang Town remained open for business, but its purpose was much simpler than before.
Accompanied by Huaping and a few old friends from the Ouyang Mansion, Yue Sheng set out on a journey truly her own. She'd thought more than once, what if she and Yan Shaoqing hadn't had so much past? Perhaps by now, they'd be traveling hand in hand, traversing the world, witnessing the blossoming and withering of flowers, finding a beautiful town, and living a leisurely life unrelated to others. Life is full of regrets, and it's these regrets that provide something to reflect on in times of distress.
That night, Wang Yanzhou asked Chen Xin to urgently find all the information they could find about Mr. Ouyang in Qinglong Village, and finally confirmed his recent thoughts.
"Do you know the origins of this Mr. Ouyang?"
Tang Chen said, "I heard from Wang Fengjiao that they found him by chance in a forest near the Ming River. Seeing him dying, dressed in gold and silver, they had evil intentions. But fortunately, although they took Mr. Ouyang's gold and silver, they also returned the favor and saved his life."
"And then?"
Tang Chen held his teacup and recalled for a while before continuing, "After that, Mr. Ouyang developed a leg problem, and he stayed in the yard all the time and didn't go out for a walk. I once asked him if he had thought about looking for his family, and he said he had found them, but just looked at them from a distance and didn't go up to recognize them."
Wang Yanzhou became even more agitated upon hearing this: "Then, is there a red butterfly birthmark on his left shoulder?"
When Tang Chen heard this question, his expression turned bad: "How should I know? I haven't wiped his body. Uh, Xiao Niu might know. He's been helping take care of him most of the time."
Wang Yanzhou stood up and pulled Tang Chen out: "Let's go find the little loach."
Tang Chen looked at the dark and confused what Wang Yanzhou was so anxious about. "No, we should be worried about the whereabouts of Black Crow and Mr. Wang. Why are we looking for Little Loach?"
Wang Yanzhou's steps faltered: "...This matter is very important to me and Qinghe."
“…”
Tang Chen rarely saw Wang Yanzhou pay such close attention to someone he wasn't familiar with. What he was investigating seemed to contradict their goals. However, none of this mattered. The important thing was that if he was truly in a hurry, he would have accompanied him even if it was dark, not to mention the rain of knives. Then, Tang Chen gently shook off Wang Yanzhou's hand, returned to the study, found a lantern, and ran out happily.
When they arrived at Qinglong Village overnight, everyone was just about to close the door and rest, but when they saw Tang Chen coming, they hurried to welcome him in. Little Loach, who had just fallen asleep, was pulled out of his sweet dream.
After explaining to Little Loach why they had come all night, Little Loach rubbed his eyes and tried hard to recall the birthmark that Tang Chen and the others had mentioned: "Oh, I remember! I saw it before when I was bathing my husband. It looked like a little butterfly!"
Wang Yanzhou smiled when he heard this. It was a wish come true, but he felt helpless. "Yes, it really is him. He was so close, but I never saw him. I thought he had died in Mingjiang, but I didn't expect that he would be with us all the time."
Tang Chen shook his head in confusion. Wang Yanzhou had been acting a bit strange all day. Could it be that Mr. Ouyang had some kind of inexplicable connection with him? "What the hell are you talking about? I'm a bit confused."
Wang Yanzhou explained, "Achen, do you remember what I told you about my sworn brother, Qinghe, and his husband who went out traveling and never returned?"
Tang Chen nodded and said, "Of course I know that. Isn't he back to be with Huahua?"
Wang Yanzhou snorted, his words hinting at murderous intent. "There's definitely something fishy about that man. I'm 90% certain the Mr. Ouyang you're talking about is the Ouyang Ming we've been recruiting, the current princess's consort."
Tang Chen knew that the Prince Consort they were looking for was named Ouyang Ming, but she had never connected the Mr. Ouyang she knew with the Prince Consort. She had asked Mr. Ouyang before if he had any connection with Prince Consort Ouyang Ming, but he had denied it normally: "No, right?"
Wang Yanzhou said, "It should be correct. As long as we meet the person, everything will have the answer."
Tang Chen thought for a moment and then said, "Does that mean that Black Crow was involved in the incident involving the real and fake prince consort?"
"Um."
"So what should we do next?"
Tang Chen's question was actually a bit ambiguous. As for what to do next, just look at the sleepy little loach and you'll know. Isn't the most important thing right now to get out of here and go home to sleep?
Wang Yanzhou saw that Xiao Niu could hardly sit still, so he stood up and said goodbye. Then he said on the way: "Chen Xin has gone to track down the whereabouts of Qinghe and his group. Let's go to see Qinghe first. Once we find them, we will naturally know the whereabouts of Black Crow."
