Chapter 35 The Night Quest
"Obviously, someone here does not welcome us, so they poisoned us repeatedly. In this case, we might as well leave this place first and make a decision later."

Ji Yuhan stood up and said this.

After hearing this, Shen Jiangge nodded. She looked around at the few people and said slowly: "Why don't you stay here, Li Wen? This is your aunt's home after all, and you understand toxicology, so you shouldn't What’s going to be a big problem?”

Shen Jiangge arranged for Li Wen to stay. Firstly, he felt that he would have no problem dealing with this. Secondly, he felt that it would be better to have someone to take care of him in the Li Mansion than to be in such an embarrassing situation again.

After hearing this, Li Wen nodded and said, "I haven't seen my aunt for a long time, so it's only right that I stay here to serve her."

After hearing this, Ling Yun'er wanted to refute. After all, it took her a long time to get to the place ordered by General Ling. How could she leave just like that?

But when she thought about the two encounters today, she still hesitated and acquiesced to the arrangement of the matter.

"Then there will be Brother Lao Li."

Ji Yuhan nodded slightly and said slowly.

His eyes swept across the bamboo forest in the backyard intentionally or unintentionally, and a figure flashed past behind the bamboo forest.

Not surprisingly, that person should have listened to most of their conversation just now.

Shen Jiangge also noticed the figure. She frowned slightly and already had some answers in her heart.

By the time they found a nearby inn and checked in, it was already nightfall.

Seeing that there was no movement in the room, Shen Jiangge stuffed the letter from Uncle Li into his arms, then tiptoed down from the back window and landed steadily.

She wanted to visit Li's house at night.

——If her and Ji Yuhan's guesses are correct, and if Li Mengzhi is not crazy, then when she sees Uncle Li's letter, some flaws will be revealed.

At that time, if you ask more carefully, you might get some clues.

In the night, her figure jumped up, climbed over the courtyard wall, and ran quickly towards the Li Mansion.

Behind her, another tall figure also followed, using extremely fast movements to hide its whereabouts.

The crickets kept huddled in the corner and screamed at night, and in no time a mouse boldly crawled past the front of the Li Mansion, causing Shen Jiangge to frown slightly.

There was only one room in the Li Mansion with a light on, and there seemed to be two figures standing under the light.

Presumably, that is Li Mengzhi's room.

Shen Jiangge leaned close to the room and looked into the house from a distance from another eaves.

What surprised Shen Jiangge was that Li Wen collapsed on the ground in the room, seemingly knocked unconscious, and standing in front of Li Mengzhi was the same person who fought with Ji Yuhan in the cemetery that night. The man in white!
The man was still dressed in white and wearing a bamboo hat. His appearance could not be clearly seen. The only thing that could be identified was the piano on his back.

"What is he doing here?"

Shen Jiangge murmured in her heart. She knew that if it were a head-on confrontation, she would not be this person's opponent.

She crawled forward again and heard the man say to Li Mengzhi: "Senior Li, this junior didn't mean to bother you late at night. This junior also knows that senior has something to hide, or in other words, senior has not been crazy at all these years."

"Let me get straight to the point. This junior is here for the Book of War. As long as Senior Li hands over the Book of War to me, I will naturally not embarrass him and will keep the secret for him."

Li Mengzhi just looked up to the sky and laughed, and then what surprised Shen Jiangge - her eyes returned to sharp shrewdness and sobriety, completely different from the one she saw during the day!
While Shen Jiangge was secretly amazed, he heard Li Mengzhi sneer and say: "If my guess is correct, you are the prince's man, right?"

The man in white didn't shy away and nodded.

Li Mengzhi snorted again, looked sharply at the man in white, and asked coldly: "If I don't give it to you, what will happen to you?"

"According to the prince's order, if you can't get it, kill it." The man in white said in a cold tone, so cold that there was no emotion at all.

"Even if you kill me, you won't know where the Bing Jing is, right?"

Li Mengzhi was not afraid. Obviously, this was not the first time she had encountered such a scene.

But the man in white raised his chin slightly, and said in an even colder tone: "Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince cannot obtain the Military Scripture. However, no one else can hope to obtain it again."

Li Mengzhi frowned slightly and her eyes darkened.

"Does His Highness the Crown Prince even dare to disobey Qin Linggong's will?"

Li Mengzhi looked at the man in white in front of him, his eyes getting darker and darker.

——Intuition told her that the person in front of her would really kill her if he didn't get the Bing Jing.

"Senior Li is talking about Mo Jinzhan returning to Pingning Town tomorrow, right?"

The man in white also had a bit of disdain in his tone, and he asked coldly.

After hearing this, Shen Jiangge was secretly shocked - Mo Jinzhan is a famous person around Qin Linggong, and he will come back to this town tomorrow?

Li Mengzhi's brows furrowed again. She examined the young man in front of her and asked coldly: "You are too well-informed. Even if the prince revealed the information to you, you shouldn't know it so quickly."

"This is my business. Isn't it the same for Senior Li? He lives in a dilapidated hut in a remote town, but he knows everything about the things in the palace. This junior really admires him."

The man in white's tone was still cold, and he walked step by step without a trace of emotion.

"What do you want with that book of war?"

Li Mengzhi looked at the young man in white in front of her with vigilance. For the first time in so many years, she felt that someone was so difficult to deal with.

"Destroy."

The man in white said two words simply.

Shen Jiangge thought Li Mengzhi would be furious, but he didn't expect that she was startled at first, and then smiled up at the sky.

After laughing, she felt obviously more relieved and melancholy.

Li Mengzhi sighed deeply and said slowly: "It's been 15 years, exactly 15 years... It's the first time I heard someone say that the purpose of destroying the Military Classics... actually made me a little happy..."

"Senior has been guarding this military scripture for 15 years, and he must be tired. Why not give it to me, rather than falling into the hands of someone with intentions."

The man in white said this.

"No...no. I won't give it to you. I can only give it to one person. And that person is definitely not you. If you want to take it by force, you will give me my life. It’s okay with me.”

Li Mengzhi smiled and shook his head, looking deeply into the distance.

For a moment, Shen Jiangge felt her eyes sweeping across his body.

It made her hair stand on end.

But before she had time to react, she heard the man in white say in a low voice: "If that's the case, Senior Li must have been offended."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped in front of Li Mengzhi and hit her vital part with a palm!
