Chapter 406 Lost [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]

"Firefighting!"

When the fire broke out suddenly, Wei Xian immediately led a group of guards to rush over. The Wei family naturally also had Qi-refining practitioners to guard the house. With a burst of magical powers, the fire was put out in no time.

Most of the guests having the banquet in the courtyard were quite calm. No matter how big the incident was, it would not delay their banquet. The few who ran away remembered to pack a few dishes before leaving.

After all, no one would think that the mighty Wei family would really let the fire spread.

Hu Delu sat there as steady as a rock, glancing at Wei Zhong, the steward of the Wei residence, with a thoughtful look on his face.

The slight disturbance did not affect the banquet.

But after a moment, Wei Xian leaned close to his eldest brother's ear and whispered something.

Wei Zhong's expression suddenly changed, and the two of them hurried away and ran to the back hall.

After a while, Wei Zhong came back with an expressionless face and said loudly to everyone: "Everyone, there was a small disturbance today, which affected the wedding ceremony of my eldest daughter. It is inevitable that everyone is in a bad mood. The head of the family thinks it is better to postpone the big ceremony. Since it is a three-day and three-night banquet, let's hold the wedding ceremony two days later."

"Ah?" This remark caused a burst of surprise in the audience.

The eldest daughter of the Wei family was getting married, so of course they chose an auspicious date, and they considered it over and over again before finally deciding on it. How could they change it just because of a small fire?

Someone immediately speculated, "The fire must have been set by the Yihuo Cult. The Wei family is worried that if they provoke the Yihuo Cult, the wedding ceremony will not go smoothly, so they want to resolve this matter before holding the wedding ceremony."

"Two days, are you planning to negotiate with the Righteous Fire Sect?"

"How could the Wei family tolerate this? They will definitely seek revenge."

"..."

Listening to the various opinions around him, Hu Delu shook his head quietly and whispered, "The fire demon is in his sleeve."

The person he was talking about was Wei Zhong, the steward of the Wei Mansion.

"Huh?" Liang Yue did not find any trace of the fire monster, but since Mr. Hu said so, it was most likely that he was right. This was indeed unexpected.

The housekeeper of the Wei Mansion set the fire. Was he bribed and did it on purpose, or did the Wei family have some plan of their own?
But this is their own business. They are just passers-by who came to the banquet and didn't think much about it.

The prince was very clear about his identity and focused on being a handsome guy who quietly gnawed on his pork elbow.

He knew very well that nothing could hurt him.

The two most powerful men in the Worship Hall, Hu Delu and Zhao Mengyu, protected him together. Both of them were at the peak of the Grandmaster realm and could be called Grandmasters.

Even the top experts on the Tongtian Ranking may not be able to kill someone under the protection of these two people.

Wei Zhong probably couldn't have guessed that a strong man of this level would come to enjoy the free banquet, otherwise his covert means would never have been discovered.

"Hiccup..." After a long while, the prince finally raised his head with satisfaction, "This Wei family is not bad, they serve delicious food."

Hu Delu smiled and said, "Master, you are full, let's go."

"Okay." The prince nodded, then looked back at the leftovers on the table. He seemed a little regretful that he couldn't pack them up and take them away and have another meal when he got home in the evening.

"We can eat something else tonight, so don't pack it up." Hu Delu said from the side.

Liang Yue understood the prince's words as soon as he saw his eyes. After leaving, he chuckled and said, "Old Hu really understands the prince's mind." "Hey, after all, I have been with the prince for so many years, and I have watched him grow up." Hu Delu smiled kindly and said, "Sometimes, I feel like I am the prince's grandfather."

Liang Yue reminded: "Don't say this in front of His Majesty."

……

Not long after they left the Wei family, they discovered that there seemed to be some changes in Yunlu City.

A large number of soldiers were walking through the streets, rushing towards the city gates in groups, and many people were walking in a hurry with strange expressions. Many people seemed to have noticed something was wrong, and they went back home and stayed indoors, so the number of pedestrians on the street decreased.

Seeing this, Liang Yue said, "Why don't we do some serious work first and contact the spies of the Evil Slaying Division here. Learn about the situation in Yunlu City so that we can have a clear purpose when we visit privately."

"Sure." The prince chuckled and said, "We're just strolling around anyway, it doesn't matter where we go."

Liang Yue followed the route given by the Evil Execution Division and walked several streets with the Crown Prince and Hu Delu until they came to a bookstore. He walked up to the bookstore and asked, "Shopkeeper, do you have any Buddhist scriptures from the north?"

When the bookstore owner heard this, he narrowed his eyes, looked him over, and said, "Sir, how old is the scripture you want?"

"Two and a half years." Liang Yue replied.

"Please follow me." The shopkeeper immediately became respectful, stood up and led the three people to the hall in the backyard of the bookstore, poured tea, and then said, "Please wait a moment."

Soon after he left, there were footsteps coming from behind the hall, revealing the figure of a young man in a plain white monk's robe.

"Xuan Ci?" When Liang Yue saw this person, he found that he actually knew him.

It was Zhou Xuanci, the Zen monk who had killed Princess Fuyang. He was not only a direct descendant of the Zhou family, but also the junior brother saved by Chen Xuan in the Mianbi Temple.

Zhou Xuanci's eyes were still gentle as always, and he bowed slightly, "I am Xuanci, a humble monk, and I am honored to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

He looked at Liang Yue again and smiled, "Has the Demon-Slaying Order not revealed my identity to Liang Xianguan before?"

"No." Liang Yue shook his head.

"After the last incident, in return, the Zhuxie Order required Wei Kangnian and I to serve as spies for the Zhuxie Yamen in the south. Wei Kangnian was taking an exam in Shendu some time ago, so I was the only one in Yunlu City." Zhou Xuanci explained.

After listening to him, Liang Yue could only sigh that Chen Su really made the best use of his talents.

When he rescued Zhou Xuanci and Wei Kangnian, Liang Yue knew that he would not let it go. Although he showed mercy, he would definitely get enough benefits.

I didn't expect that this also included asking people to work for him.

The spies that Wei Kangnian and Zhou Xuanci serve should be different from those professional spies.

They can do their own things on a daily basis, such as practicing and taking exams, and they can also help the Xie Zhu Division to keep an eye out for more news. When the Xie Zhu Division finds them, they will convey the required intelligence truthfully, similar to developing informants.

They certainly had no right to refuse their savior.

Previously, the power of the Zhuxie Division in the south was not as strong as that in the north, partly because of the lack of cooperation from the three great families. However, these two informants directly developed into the three great families, and the most amazing thing was that these two people had no feelings for their respective families.

"Has there been any changes in the city?" Liang Yue asked directly, "On our way here just now, we saw a sudden increase in the number of soldiers guarding the city."

"Something did happen." Zhou Xuanci said, "Just now the Wei family was holding a wedding for the eldest daughter, but suddenly found out...the bride was missing."
