save the bachelors

Chapter 4204 [Return to the Sea Hundred Refinements]

Duan Tianya and Piaoxu then left the capital and went to Snake Island to live in seclusion.

Xiang Nan and Haitang escorted them out of the city.

"Take care, brother~" Haitang waved goodbye.

"Take care and have a safe journey." Xiang Nan also greeted.

Watching the couple drive away in the car, Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh, "I really envy them."

"You envy them?" Haitang was a little surprised when she heard it.

Because Gui Hai Yidao has always been an emotionless killing machine, without mercy, love, relatives or friends... There is only one Dao in the world.

There was little else he could do except kill people.

So she couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he said this now.

"They are with their loved ones and will have their love child. They will live a peaceful life without disputes and respect each other. Isn't this something to be envied?" Xiang Nan explained. "I don't know when I can put down the knife in my hand and live such a happy life."

"You actually want to put down the knife in your hand and live a peaceful life like this?" Haitang was very surprised. She thought Xiang Nan just wanted to kill people.

"Of course. I'm a secret agent, not a murderer. If it's not necessary, I don't want to kill anyone." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "It's just that I can't put down the knife in my hand until my father's revenge is avenged."

"Father's revenge?" Haitang was quite curious, "Who is your father?"

She has known Yidao for more than ten years, but she never knew his background, and had never heard Shenhou or Yidao talk about it.

"Return to the sea and refine it." Xiang Nan replied.

"The top swordsman who was famous in the martial arts world eighteen years ago, Gui Hai Bai Lian?!" Haitang said in surprise.

Eighteen years ago, Gui Hai Bai Lian had a very high reputation in the martial arts world and was known as the best swordsman in the world. His unique skill "Heroic Domination of the World" was extremely powerful and domineering, and was known as the strongest swordsmanship in the world.

However, at the height of his fame, Gui Hai Bai Lian died suddenly and mysteriously with the cause of death unknown. This caused a sensation in the martial arts world at the time, and there were many different opinions, but unfortunately there was no definite answer.

As talented people emerge in the martial arts world and the old are replaced by the new, Gui Hai Bai Lian was soon forgotten. Unexpectedly, Gui Hai Yidao was actually Gui Hai Bai Lian's son.

  (In fact, this surname is so rare, how could it be impossible to associate it with someone else? Zhang, Wang, Li, or Zhao are much more believable. It's just that the screenwriter chose such an exaggerated surname for the sake of pretense, and made it so that no one could think of it. It's really a deliberate attempt to lower the intelligence.)

"That's right." Xiang Nan nodded. "He was murdered by someone. I must avenge him."

"Then do you know who the murderer is?" Haitang asked with concern.

"I don't know for now. Three years ago, I commissioned the world's number one detective, Zhang Jinjiu, to help me investigate. One day the truth will come out." Xiang Nan said, holding the knife tightly in his hand.

Haitang nodded, "I hope you can find out the truth as soon as possible and avenge your father."

"Thank you."

……

After Duan Tianya and Liu Sheng Piaoxu left, the capital city did not remain peaceful for long.

It turned out that Cao Zhengchun already knew that Duan Tianya had retired from the world. As a result, the Hulong Villa was equivalent to cutting off one of its own arms, and its power was greatly damaged.

Therefore, he decided to "kill you while you are sick" and began to take revenge on Hulong Villa.

This actually fell right into Shen Hou's trap.

There is a saying in military strategy: "Show weakness to the enemy and lure him in deep." The forces of Hulong Villa and Dongchang were originally evenly matched. The two sides had been fighting for several years, with each side winning and losing.

For example, Pi Xiaotian, the big boss of the East Factory, was killed by Duan Tianya and Xiang Nan.

However, Cao Zhengchun also killed Yang Yuxuan, the Minister of War, Li Mu, the Left Vice Censor, Zhou Chu, the Deputy General of the Cavalry Battalion, Guan Dahai, the Junior Secretary of the Honglu Temple, and other court officials, further expanding his power. Therefore, it was not easy for Hulong Villa to eliminate Dongchang, and it was equally difficult for Dongchang to eliminate Hulong Villa. The two sides were deadlocked here, and no one dared to make a big move, and everyone was afraid of revealing flaws and giving the opponent an opportunity to take advantage.

However, such a stalemate is actually not effective for the gods.

Because even if the tortoise lives long, it still has its end. Even the divine minister will grow old one day, and the East Factory is a power institution. Even if Cao Zhengchun is gone, the emperor can order someone else to take over.

So the emperor can afford it, the Eastern Depot can afford it, but the Marquis of Shenhou cannot, and of course Cao Zhengchun himself cannot afford it either.

Cao Zhengchun also had rebellious intentions and wanted to overthrow the Divine Prince, clear away obstacles, and seize the imperial power.

Although he had been a eunuch since childhood and had no children, it did not prevent him from wanting to become the de facto emperor.

Just like in the late Tang Dynasty, eunuchs were in power and deposing and enthroning emperors was like child's play.

The chief eunuch Li Fuguo said to Emperor Daizong of Tang, "Everyone just sit inside, and let me handle the external affairs." When Emperor Wenzong of Tang was seriously ill, the chief eunuch Qiu Shiliang falsely passed on the imperial decree to demote the crown prince to the King of Chen, and supported Emperor Wenzong to succeed the throne...

However, with Shen Hou and Hulong Villa around, Cao Zhengchun's conspiracy naturally could not be realized.

Seeing that both sides were in a stalemate and could hardly kill the other, Shen Hou deliberately showed weakness to the enemy and asked Piao Xu to pretend to be crazy, so as to use this as an excuse to transfer Duan Tianya away.

As a result, the strength of Hulong Villa was greatly reduced, which naturally gave Cao Zhengchun an opportunity to take advantage of.

……

Cao Zhengchun first attacked Princess Yunluo.

It turned out that ever since Cheng Shifei left, Yunluo had been in a bad mood, losing his temper at the slightest provocation and making trouble in the palace.

He was particularly dissatisfied with the young eunuchs and tortured them every day.

Therefore, Cao Zhengchun held a grudge and deliberately framed Yun Luo, saying that she ordered people to burn down the East Factory archives room, which was a heinous crime.

Fortunately, Shen Hou stepped in in time to defend Yun Luo and finally helped her escape.

Otherwise, with such a serious crime as burning the archive room and such a ridiculous behavior, even if Yunluo was a princess, she would have to bear the consequences.

But Cao Zhengchun's frame-up of Yun Luo did not stop there.

He then asked the eunuch serving Yunluo to instigate her to go out of the city to find Cheng Shifei.

Princess Yunluo couldn't resist the instigation, so she dressed up as a man and went out of the palace to cause trouble.

She first found Cheng Shifei's good brother Zhang Laosan, and was then taken to Hongyun Casino by Zhang Laosan, where she used the palace's treasure, the Little Mermaid Pearl, as a bet.

As a result, he was imprisoned in the Dongchang Prison by Cao Zhengchun on the charge of stealing treasures from the palace.

Although Princess Yunluo revealed her identity, Cao Zhengchun did not recognize her.

Because Yun Luo was dressed as a man at the time and had no other servants around her, no one could prove her identity.

So Yunluo was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, and Cao Zhengchun also diverted the blame and sent someone to send the mermaid Xiao Mingzhu to Tianxia No. 1 Manor, hoping to drag Tianxia No. 1 Manor into trouble as well.

By then, not only Yunluo would be the wanted criminal who stole the treasures from the palace, but Haitang would also become an accomplice, which could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

Fortunately, Shen Hou had spies in the East Factory and saw through Cao Zhengchun's plot in advance. He immediately ordered Haitang to stay and send the mermaid Xiao Mingzhu to get the person, and at the same time sent Xiang Nan to rescue Princess Yunluo from the Heavenly Prison.

"Dongchang Cao Zhengchun has kidnapped Princess Yunluo and hid her in the Heavenly Prison. You must rescue her immediately, otherwise something unexpected will happen." The Divine Marquis ordered.

"Yes, godfather." Xiang Nan bowed.
