Hearing Li Nanke speak so directly, even Gao Xie, no matter how calm he was, couldn't help but be stunned for a few seconds.
He put a fist to his lips, coughed twice, and said with a smile: "Master Li is really kind. He is eating royal food and still thinking about murdering his master."
This guy's taunting attribute is quite high.
Li Nanke changed to a more comfortable sitting position, and subconsciously wanted to hug the woman next to him with his right hand, but glanced at the small and exquisite Yu Hongye, retracted his arm, touched his nose and said:
"As the saying goes, the emperor takes turns and will come to my house next year. The reason why Mr. Gao rebelled from the underworld is simply because he did not want to succumb to the second-in-command. Am I right?"
Faced with Li Nanke's probing, Gao Xie smiled and did not dwell on the topic anymore. Instead, he asked, "Have the Anping Prince's Palace seen Mr. Li in the past few days?"
King Anping?
Li Nanke's eyes flashed, and he realized what the other party might know, and shook his head calmly, "Why does Mr. Gao think that the Anping Prince's Palace will look for me?"
"Just a casual question."
Gao Xie pretended to be mysterious and asked, "Did Mr. Li find any clues about the earthquake in the Imperial City?"
"Why should I tell you?"
"Information exchange."
"About the earthquake?"
"Yes." Gao Xie nodded lightly.
Li Nanke raised his eyebrows, crossed his legs and said, "Then tell me first, lest you give my information to me for nothing."
Opposite Gao Yuyan frowned.
Looking at it like this, it's obvious that this guy plans to have sex for free.
She was about to speak to remind Gao Xie, but the latter waved his hand and said to Li Nanke: "It is certain that the earthquake did not originate from the palace, but from the Anping Palace."
Li Nanke was startled.
Now he understood why the other party had just asked if the Anping Prince's Palace had come to see him.
"Where's the evidence?"
"I have people lurking in there."
Li Nanke thought for a few seconds and said calmly: "Even if what you said is true, what is the purpose of King Anping doing this? And what caused the earthquake?"
"You need to investigate this yourself."
Gao Xie picked up the tea cup and lightly touched the tea leaves on the surface of the tea with his index finger. The corners of his lips curved slightly, like an old fox.
Li Nanke suddenly felt enlightened.
No wonder the other party did not investigate Wei Zhenyan's death. It turned out that he planned to use him to investigate the Anping Palace.
Looking for free tools?
Li Nanke sneered, "I can trust you just by saying a few words? Since you can arrange your own people in the palace, wouldn't it be more convenient to investigate without needing an outsider like me?"
"It's not difficult to arrange people. What's difficult is that the people you arrange need to be smart. Unfortunately, I don't have anyone here who can compare to Mr. Li."
Gao Xie's "flattery" words made Yu Hongye roll her eyes.
Li Nanke laughed and laughed at himself: "This is how I usually fool those beauties."
He stood up and took Yu Hongye's little hand and said: "If King Anping takes the initiative to look for me, I will go and investigate. If he doesn't take the initiative to look for me, he can do whatever he likes. It's none of my business."
After saying that, he took Yu Hongye and prepared to leave.
Gao Xie did not stop him.
When the other party was leaving, Gao Xie said, "The Anping Palace should hide the entrance to the Red Rain World, similar to the Phoenix Mountain and the Yin and Yang Gate."
Li Nanke paused for a moment and left the box without stopping.
Watching Li Nanke leave, Gao Yuyan said worriedly: "He seems unwilling to help us."
"Why does he want to help us?" Gao Xie said with a smile, "People are selfish. Why should we pay for others when there is no absolute benefit?"
"Then who should we find to investigate at Prince Anping's Mansion?"
"Li Nanke will go."
"But he just refused." Gao Yuyan looked confused.
Gao Xie secretly sighed. If this woman wasn't his sister, he would have dug out her pig brain and drank it.
"Li Nanke won't help me, but he has to think about himself and the beauties around him, so... he will definitely go to Anping Prince's Mansion to investigate."
Gao Xie said.
Only then did Gao Yuyan suddenly realize.
I thought my brother had given the other party the clues he had worked so hard to get for nothing, but I didn't expect that he had tricked Li Nanke and forced the other party to jump into this trap.
"But what if Li Nanke discovers something during his investigation and doesn't tell us?"
Gao Yuyan said worriedly again.
Gao Xie rubbed his brows and didn't bother to point out this stupid sister anymore. He drank the tea in one gulp and left the box.
After walking out of the box, he suddenly thought of something and said to Gao Yuyan: "Wei Zhenyan still has a few more loyal subordinates. Go and deal with them. Don't let them cause trouble to Li Nanke."
"clear."
Gao Yuyan felt awe-struck in his heart.
…
After walking out of Yunchun Tower, Li Nanke kept tapping his head with his fist, looking distressed.
"You must have been tricked by the other party."
Yu Hongye looked gloating.
Seeing that the man's other hand was still holding her catkin, the woman pulled it out with force and coldly snorted: "If you want me to tell you, just ignore what he said."
"What if what he said is true?"
Li Nanke looked worried, "I just want to understand how this earthquake was caused, and whether this guy used some method to forcefully open a gap in the Red Rain World."
"If such a big noise is really caused by King Anping, do you think the court will ignore it?" Yu Hongye sneered, "Do you think Bai Yaoquan will not send Tiangang Disha to investigate?"
"So...we have to be one step ahead."
Li Nanke said.
Yu Hongye chuckled.
When I came to the street, I saw a vendor selling candied haws on the road passing by. So the woman took a bunch and asked while eating: "Then how do you plan to sneak into the Anping Palace? The guards in that place are no less relaxed than the palace."
Li Nanke frowned when he saw the woman's behavior, stopped the vendor, bought two more skewers, and paid three cents.
"Oh, our Lord Li is quite righteous."
Yu Hongye joked.
Li Nanke said: "They are all ordinary people at the bottom who make a living, and one or two cents is money."
"Then do you know that I have actually given you money?"
Yu Hongye smiled.
"real?"
"Swear to God, it's true."
"I told you earlier."
Without saying a word, Li Nanke went back to the vendor and asked for the money for a bunch of candied haws.
This scene made Yu Hongye dumbfounded, and she couldn't help but mocked: "Brother, you have the nerve to ask for this little money back? Your wife didn't give you any money to spend."
"I pay with integrity, and he has to buy and sell with integrity, it's that simple."
Li Nan didn't want to say anything, so he took the candied haws and walked in the direction of the Night Patrol Department. He was still thinking about which way to infiltrate was safer.
"Bought for the two girls named Leng and Little Rabbit?"
Yu Hongye looked at the two bunches of candied haws in the man's hand and asked.
Li Nanke was about to speak when suddenly two tall middle-aged men in white shirts stood in front of him and almost hit him.
"Can you two watch the road?"
Li Nanke, who was already upset, was very unhappy.
However, the two of them did not give in.
The man on the right said: "Master Li, we are from Prince Anping's palace. The prince wants to see you."
