Chapter 347: Chapter 201: Gaining Reputation, Seizing Treasures, Gathering Forces, Rebelling- All in One

"What are you looking at?"

Jiang Shouzhong’s unusual behaviour caught the attention of Li Nanshuang.

The young girl curiously poked her little head over to stare between his legs with him.

She saw nothing of interest.

The fresh fragrance of the young girl wafted through the air, strands of it filtering into the man’s nostrils... Jiang Shouzhong broke into a sweat, hurriedly pushing away the softness that was too close, "Nothing much, I just saw a cockroach on the floor."

Then Jiang Shouzhong noticed that, unnoticed, a few more dumplings had been added to his bowl.

"Oh."

Li Nanshuang picked up her empty bowl, took a breath of the soup, and patted her flat stomach, "I’m done eating, where to next?"

"You just ate one dumpling."

Jiang Shouzhong was helpless.

Li Nanshuang chuckled with a dimpled smile, "Dieting."

A somewhat bloated Jiang Shouzhong glared at the young girl, irritated, "If you’re dieting, why did you insist on having me accompany you for a meal, when I already ate this morning?"

"Mainly because I wanted Mengniang to join me for the meal."

Li Nanshuang didn’t beat around the bush and expressed her thoughts.

Jiang Shouzhong was at a loss for words, stood up and said, "Boss, I have some personal matters to take care of, you go back first."

"Alright, okay."

Li Nanshuang was straightforward, paid for the meal, slung her big saber on her back, and left.

Noticing that Mengniang had quietly departed from a pillar, Jiang Shouzhong instantly felt much more relaxed... After all, walking with a stagger felt like doing stretching exercises.

Jiang Shouzhong headed towards the tavern in front.

The tavern had two floors, with flying eaves and lofted corners, a rustic charm with a touch of elegance, and the mingling aroma of various dishes wafting through the air.

Just as he was about to enter, suddenly a small stone was flung over.

Jiang Shouzhong caught it reflexively.

Turning his head, he saw a familiar figure darting into the dark alley beside the tavern. Jiang Shouzhong hurriedly followed... soon, he spotted Yeying in a secluded dead-end.

"Sister Yeying!"

Jiang Shouzhong felt warmth in his heart.

Yeying was still clad in a long black robe that swept the ground, blending with the shadows of the dark alley, only her silver, bird-shaped mask glittered mysteriously in the faint light.

"I heard that the boat you were on sank a few days ago?"

The woman’s deliberately disguised voice was low and husky, like a cold breeze quietly sweeping through a forest at night.

Jiang Shouzhong, with a look of seeing a ghost, "You know about that too."

Yeying indifferently said, "You weren’t hurt, were you?"

Jiang Shouzhong shook his head, "I wasn’t hurt, but Sister Yeying, how did you know about my shipwreck? Your information is a bit too exaggerated, do you even know how many times I went to the toilet yesterday?"

"Guessing."

Yeying couldn’t be bothered to explain and shifted the topic, "Have you found any clues related to Ran Qingchen?"

Jiang Shouzhong perked up, his expression serious:

"Sister Yeying, you were right before, I didn’t expect to really find out about the Anhe Village incident here. The former Magistrate of Qingzhou, He Benquan, used to be the Magistrate of Luanzhou.

When the beastly demons attacked Anhe Village, he prevented the soldiers from going to the rescue. Even afterwards, he intentionally caused a flood. Additionally, I found out that He Benquan is not dead..."

Jiang Shouzhong laid out all the clues he had uncovered.

Yeying patiently listened to the end and didn’t dive into discussions but instead asked, "What about the Water Moon Dream Mirror, has it reacted to you again?"

Jiang Shouzhong paused for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, the second stage has already begun, but it’s not a big deal, I plan to ignore it. As for the content of the dreams, well, I won’t go into details, but there’s no problem."

Jiang Shouzhong was confident about this.

Currently, Mengniang was more or less obediently following him, and if things came to the worst, he could let her bite him... That woman’s habit of biting when emotionally stirred was unchangeable, but fortunately, his ’little brother’ was spared.

Seeing his confidence, Yeying was reassured,

"That’s good, I’m looking for you this time to tell you something. The day after tomorrow, at the altar under Mengyao Pavilion, an Azure Dragon will emerge from its shell. Try your luck, if you can subdue the Azure Dragon, it would be of great benefit to you."

An Azure Dragon?

Jiang Shouzhong inwardly clicked his tongue... even a dragon demon had appeared?

Yeying continued, "The entrance is at the Su Family’s place, but I’m not sure where exactly, you’ll have to investigate the Su Family yourself. The situation at the Su Family is complicated lately, and your identity as an agent from the Liushan Division may not work, they might not let you in.

I suggest having someone take you directly there. Coincidentally, I have some intelligence that Princess Yingmo is going to visit the Su Family tomorrow, and it seems you have a friend with her named Leng Jing."

Leng Jing?

Jiang Shouzhong was surprised.

It wasn’t strange for Leng Jing to accompany Princess Yingmo to Qingzhou, since Ran Qingchen had mentioned that the Princess Consort and Princess Yingmo had together rescued the people from the shipwreck. What shocked Jiang Shouzhong was the extent of Yeying’s intelligence, even the fact that he knew Leng Jing.

Seemingly guessing Jiang Shouzhong’s thoughts, Yeying explained, "I’ve done a thorough investigation on some of the members of the royal family. A couple days ago, Princess Yingmo had been sending people to look for you on the river, and it was that girl Leng Jing who asked for it, so I guessed she must be your friend."

So that was it.

Jiang Shouzhong felt a warmth in his heart, that girl was indeed quite kind.

"Tomorrow around the end of the morning, the Princess will head to the Su Family. Your friend will be with her. Find a way to have the Princess take you to the Su Family, and then look for an opportunity to investigate the entrance..."

At this, Yeying paused for a moment before adding,

"Princess Yingmo is the adopted daughter of the Consort of Prince Zhen, she has always enjoyed martial arts and cultivation since childhood, but she only has mediocre talent, half-competent at best, and likes visiting various Jianghu sects."
