Madam let me die

Li Nanke knelt down, patted Sun Xiaoyuan's bruised cheek, and asked, "Is the eldest princess still in the palace?"

"I was called to Wuji Palace by the Supreme Emperor."

Sun Xiaoyuan answered dully, as if she had lost her soul.

Li Nanke Xuan frowned and turned to look at Nie Ying, "Did you use some secret technique like the Soul Searching Technique?"

"What kind of soul-searching method?"

Nie Ying was still angry at Li Nanke's previous address, and said coldly, "I just blocked her pain temporarily, otherwise you wouldn't be able to ask."

"Ok."

Li Nanke touched his nose and continued to ask, "What is the plan of the underworld on New Year's Eve?"

"Protect the queen and kidnap an old man named 'Dugu' in the underground palace."

"Why do you want to protect the queen?"

"I don't know, this is an order from above." Sun Xiaoyuan's eyes were empty and lifeless, like a puppet.

"Who is the master of the underworld?"

"Black and white impermanence."

Black and white impermanence?

Li Nanke was stunned for a few seconds and asked in a confused tone, "Is this one person or two people?"

"Two people," the woman replied.

Li Nanke was very surprised.

So, there are two masters in the underworld?

Black and white impermanence?
While thinking about it, Li Nanke suddenly remembered what Huo Yingying said to him yesterday:
[The underworld is not in the human world, and those who are in the human world are just ghosts. 】

Could it be that this black and white impermanence is not the real master of the underworld, but just a ghost wandering on the surface?
Therefore, Sun Xiaoyuan has never met the real master behind the underworld.

"How do you plan to rob the old man in the underground palace?"

Li Nanke asked.

Sun Xiaoyuan said: "On New Year's Eve, the Supreme Emperor Bai Yaoquan will be in coma. At that time, most of the masters of Tiangang Disha will protect him and have no time to take care of the underground palace. We will use force to rob him."

Will Bai Yaoquan fall into coma?

Hearing the woman's answer, Li Nanke was stunned and felt a storm in his heart.

Both Nie Ying and Shangguan Guan in the room changed their expressions.

They had never heard of it.

"How do you know Bai Yaoquan will be in coma on New Year's Eve?"

"I heard it from Master Bai Wuchang, but I don't know the specific reason."

Li Nanke looked incredulous.

This clue is too important.

No wonder both the Sky Sect and the Underworld chose this day to launch an attack on the palace.

If Bai Yaoquan is really unconscious, the palace will be leaderless, and Tiangang Disha will not be able to send enough experts to protect the underground palace.

But the question is why Bai Yaoquan fell into coma on New Year's Eve?
Does this happen every year?

After all, Bai Yaoquan chose to abdicate in favor of his younger son when he was in his 30s. The reason was that he was often in coma, unable to handle government affairs normally, and had no choice but to recover from illness.

In recent years, there has been little news about him being in a coma.

The most puzzling thing at this time is, why is the underworld so sure that Bai Yaoquan will fall into coma on New Year's Eve?

How did they get the news?

I'm afraid even the eldest princess Bai Ruyue doesn't know about this situation.

"Could it be..."

Li Nanke suddenly had a very bold guess in his mind.

He even vaguely guessed the identity of the owner of the underworld.

"Impossible, it should be impossible."

Li Nanke clenched his fists, swallowed hard, and asked Sun Xiaoyuan, "How did your underworld deceive so many people into becoming the eldest princess's personal guard?"

"It's all arranged from above."

Sun Xiaoyuan said.

When asked here, Li Nanke's guess was already [-]% true.

For a noble person like the eldest princess, the guards arranged around her need to be carefully reviewed and selected before being selected, and there is no room for sloppiness.

But now, such a big nail has been planted by the underworld.The person who can arrange this nail must either have a high status in the court, or be familiar with many links and bribe some of the review officials.

"Last question, are there any members of the underworld around the eldest princess?"

Li Nanke had asked the old man in Tsing Yi this question before. Although the other party said no, the old man in Tsing Yi was too low-level to guarantee it [-]%.

"I am the only member of the underworld beside the eldest princess."

Sun Xiaoyuan said.

Hearing this, the stone in Li Nanke's heart officially fell.

At the same time, he asked curiously: "Why did the underworld place you next to the eldest princess?"

"They asked me to monitor the eldest princess. Every move of the eldest princess must be reported. The key point is to monitor what the eldest princess did when she went to Wuji Palace."

"...It seems that the underworld also knows about the health condition of the eldest princess."

Li Nanke looked worried.

Originally, he planned to draw the underworld into a short-term alliance, but now it seems that this is a tiger hiding in the dark.To cooperate with it is to seek skin from a tiger.

Seeing that he couldn't get any other useful information from Sun Xiaoyuan, Li Nanke asked Nie Ying to send him on his way neatly.

After disposing of Sun Xiaoyuan's body, Li Nanke was worried about the safety of the eldest princess and decided to go to the palace to take a look.

"I go with you."

Nie Ying knew that Li Nanke was in a very dangerous situation and decided to act as a temporary bodyguard.

Li Nanke nodded and did not refuse.

However, when the two came to the palace, they learned from the princess's guard that Bai Ruyue had not returned from Wuji Palace, which gave Li Nanke a bad feeling.

Bai Yaoquan called his daughter to Wuji Palace a little too often.

Could it be that he is preparing to paralyze the eldest princess again?

It's a pity that although Li Nanke was anxious, he couldn't force his way into Wuji Palace and could only leave temporarily.

"Go home?"

Nie Ying asked, looking at the man's solemn face.

Li Nanke thought silently for a moment and gave a new destination, "Go to Yun Chun Tower."

Sun Xiaoyuan's disappearance will inevitably cause the underworld to take action.

So Li Nanke wanted to find Gao Xie, the second-in-command who had betrayed the underworld.

Through subsequent questioning of Sun Xiaoyuan, Li Nanke already knew that this so-called second-in-command was actually a subordinate of Black and White Wuchang, and his rank was higher than that of Sun Xiaoyuan.

Most affairs in the underworld are handled by Gao Xie.

When I arrived at Yun Chun Tower, I found that it was closed.

The bustling place in the past is now indescribably cold and lonely, forming a sharp contrast.

Li Nanke and Nie Ying dug into the backyard where the brothel girls usually lived to investigate, and found that even the houses where they lived were empty. It was obvious that Yun Chun Tower had been completely disbanded.

Li Nanke was a little emotional.

These guys ran very fast after the earthquake.

"Master Li is here to see my brother?"

Suddenly, a charming voice came.

Li Nanke turned around and looked around.

It was Gao Yuyan, the madam of Yun Chun House, standing at the entrance of the alley.

Li Nanke nodded and said straight to the point: "I killed a person from the underworld. This person's identity is somewhat special. If possible, I would like to meet your brother."

"My brother has been waiting for you for a long time."

Gao Yuyan didn't ask too much. He twisted his plump and tight waist and led Li Nanke and Nie Ying to an ordinary courtyard in the alley.

Entering the main hall, Li Nanke met Gao Xie.

Different from the gentle and elegant image he saw last time, this time Gao Xie looked extremely haggard and slovenly, with bloodshot eyes.

"Is your behavior related to the earthquake?"

Li Nanke asked curiously.

Gao Xie smiled bitterly and asked, "Tell me first which member of the underworld you killed."

"The envoy of the underworld."

Li Nanke said lightly.

Hearing this, Gao Xie and his younger sister Gao Yuyan were both shocked, with a look of horror on their faces.
