Chapter 1883 The Imperial Decree of the Empress

After all the guests on the ship had disembarked, the spies from the Imperial City Division made sure that there were no problems with the guests, and then they dispersed.

Not far away, a father and daughter, dressed in silk clothes, sat down in a restaurant.

"Waiter, a pot of green bamboo leaves, a mandarin fish, a bowl of whitebait soup, and a plate of white shrimps."

Long Chen ordered the dishes very skillfully.

The waiter ran over enthusiastically and took note of Long Chen's order.

“Has your distinguished guest come to our restaurant to eat?”

The dishes Long Chen ordered were all the restaurant's specialty dishes, so the waiter asked.

"I've been here for many years and I always remember it."

Long Chen said with a smile and an authentic Nanliang accent.

"Still the same cook, right?"

Long Chen asked specifically.

The waiter said: "Guests, don't worry, they are all the original cooks, and the taste must be the same."

Long Chen smiled and said: "Then hurry up."

The waiter smiled and said: "The guest will be here soon."

Ya'er held her cheeks with her little hands and looked around curiously.

She has never been to Jinling City and is very curious about the things here.

"Dase...Daddy, you are very familiar with this place."

Ya'er whispered.

Ya'er would be recognized by her Eastern Zhou accent, so she didn't speak during the whole process.

Long Chen said: "Nonsense, you have forgotten who I am."

Long Chen is a major general from Nanliang and a native of Jinling.

I am very familiar with where to find delicious food in Jinling City and where the streets and lanes are.

After killing Li Yunbao and saying goodbye to Qi Wenhai and the others, Long Chen took a big boat and went down the river.

When they reached the upper reaches of Jinling, which was more than ten miles away, Long Chen disembarked first, so the Imperial City Division's spies found nothing.

Soon, the waiter served the food.

Ya'er picked up the chopsticks and greedily tasted Jinling's delicacies.

Long Chen drank Zhuyeqing, and a local flavor came into his mind.

Bits and pieces of childhood, the past of the Long family, parents, brothers, sisters and clan members... flashed quickly in my mind.

Hatred for Li Chengdao also surged into my heart!

"Did it bring back memories again?"

Ya'er saw the murderous aura suddenly appearing on Long Chen's body, and immediately kicked Long Chen under the table with her short legs.

Long Chen took another sip of wine and slowly suppressed the hatred in his heart.

The two guests walked in, glanced at Long Chen, and sat down next to him.

"Waiter, a jug of good wine, fish and shrimp for me!"

The guests were two men, both of whom looked ordinary and wore ordinary common clothes.

The waiter also served bamboo leaf greens, mandarin fish, and white shrimp.

If the customer doesn't know what dish he wants and just talks about fish and shrimp in general, then serve the signature dish.

The two poured a glass of wine and started chatting while drinking:

"I heard that someone died in the world, the hall master of Lingzhou Mansion, Mu Ying."

"I heard that the deputy hall masters Yan Xiaoran and Duan Xueyi were also killed at the same time."

"I don't know who is so bold as to dare to attack the world."

"Hey, the world is different now. Eastern Zhou and Xixia both took action. I heard that even their presidents were killed."

"That's not right. The superior met the president at Fuyuan Tower a few days ago. It is said that he is a man in his 50s."

The two of them were at the next table to Long Chen, and their voices were not loud, but Long Chen could just hear them.

Long Chen glanced at Ya'er, but Ya'er didn't respond and continued eating.

This shows that he is not from the Long Gang.

Obviously, these two people knew Long Chen's identity.

If he's not from the Long Gang, he's from the Wanjin Tower.

In this way, the two of them conveyed the recent trends in Jinling City to Long Chen.

Ji Ba is clearly in his 30s, but they said he was in his 50s, so he must be fake.

The world was afraid that Li Chengdao would seek revenge, so he created a fake uncrowned king.

Li Chengdao is very cunning and can definitely see through this.

The world will be self-defeating.

"That means the president was not killed by Long Chengen?"

"Keep your voice down, don't be heard."

"However, they killed three masters today. This is true. The World Association will definitely take revenge."

"I heard that the world will think that Nan Liang is the murderer and plan to take revenge on Nan Liang."

"Did they identify it?"

"I don't know. There is also news that Long Chengen came to Jinling and it was Long Chengen who did it."

After Long Chen heard this sentence, his heart was shocked.

Of course Long Chen didn't kill Mu Ying, this was what Li Chengdao did.

But the world will know that I have arrived in Jinling...

No, Li Chengdao deliberately framed the case. The world would think that Long Chen was responsible for the murder, so they guessed that Long Chen had arrived in Jinling.

My whereabouts have not been revealed!

"Now that Jinling City is in chaos, the imperial court and the world will not deal with it, and there may be another fierce war."

"I think the imperial court is targeting masters from the Tianxiahui, masters at the hall master level."

"It seems that Mi He, the other leader of Tianxiahui, is coming back. Could it be that..."

"Hey, we little people, why are we worried about this?"

"That's right, I won't say it anymore."

The two drank and ate, and finished quickly.

After paying the bill, the two of them left the restaurant.

Ya'er looked at the two people leaving and asked in a low voice: "Your informant? The way of delivering news is quite special."

Long Chen smiled and said: "This is also the first time I've seen this method. It's pretty good."

The spies from Wanjin Tower didn't have any contact with Long Chen, so they just finished telling the news here.

"You have been framed. It was Li Chengdao who committed the murder."

Ya'er peeled off a shrimp, dipped it in the sauce, and ate it in his mouth. It felt particularly delicious.

“The food here is so delicious.”

Ya'er ate with gusto.

Long Chen drank wine slowly, thinking about how to fish out of the current situation.

The water in Jinling City was muddied by Li Chengdao. This was a good thing, as it saved Long Chen from having to do it himself.

Ya'er saw Long Chen's confused eyes and knew that he was having a bad idea.

"Someone is going to be in trouble..."

Ya'er peeled the white shrimp and muttered.

After finishing the meal, Long Chen paid the bill and the waiter enthusiastically sent it to the door.

Walking on the street, Long Chen slowly returned to Honggui Inn listening to the familiar shouts.

This inn is owned by the Long Gang, and it is absolutely safe to stay here.

After going up to the second floor and entering the room, Long Chen sat at the table and drank tea.

When Ya'er was full, she took off her shoes and lay on the bed, humming a tune happily.

"Isn't there any news from you?"

Long Chen asked Ya'er.

The Dragon Gang should have no less information than Wanjin Tower, but the Dragon Gang did not provide any information.

Ya'er said: "We haven't arrived yet, or their clues are similar to Wanjin Tower."

"The West Factory under your command, haven't they arrived in Jinling a long time ago?"

"Didn't they give you news?"

Feng He arrived at Jinling first, and his mission was to inquire about the situation at the Tianxiahui headquarters.

This task is more important and also the main purpose.

Long Chen didn't want to disrupt Feng He's rhythm.

Dong dong dong...

"Guest, I will bring you two new pillows."

The inn boy knocked on the door outside.

Long Chen stood up and opened the door. The waiter said respectfully: "Guest, this is a new pillow."

Long Chen thanked him, took the pillow and closed the door.

The pillow was thrown on the bed, and Long Chen had a letter in his hand.

Opening the letter revealed that it was the information given by the Long Gang.

The information inside is similar to what Wan Jin Lou said, but with some more details.

Li Chengdao sent Jiang Hui and two masters from the palace to attack Mu Ying, and the weapons used were also clearly stated.

"Mi He, the master of Luozhou County Hall, will return to Jinling tomorrow."

Long Chen took a sip of tea and slowly thought about how to act.

"You want to intercept and kill?"

Ya'er put the pillow underneath, crossed her legs and shook her legs.

"This is an opportunity."

"Li Chengdao framed him, so I will make a fake show and make it real and fake to confuse them."

"Then I profit from it!"

Long Chen slowly thought about how to fish in troubled waters.

Ya'er objected: "It's not good. It's easy to be exposed. If you are attacked by people from both sides, it's up to you what to do!"
