During the chat, Shen Tengfeng seemed to want to say something but stopped himself several times, and kept rubbing his hands. It was obvious that he had something to say.

"Fifth brother, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush between you and me."

Shen Yian put down the teacup and said with a smile.

Mainly, he was a little anxious about the other party's look and was curious about what was going on.

"Um, Sixth Brother, I want to borrow some people from you."

Having said that, Shen Tengfeng couldn't continue beating around the bush, so he rubbed his hands and spoke awkwardly.

"Borrow, someone?"

Shen Yian was stunned.

When the other party said "borrow", he thought it meant borrowing money, but he never imagined it meant borrowing people.

"Yes, lend me two masters, preferably masters of the Tianwu realm."

Shen Tengfeng looked around, leaned forward, and spoke mysteriously in a low voice.

"Fifth brother, do you think that the masters of the Tianwu realm are cabbages? I..."

Shen Yian paused, took a deep breath, and asked seriously: "Fifth brother, if you want to borrow someone, at least let Sixth brother know what you are going to do, right?"

He didn't know whether Shen Tengfeng borrowed people to complete the task assigned by the old man or had other things to do.

If the other party wanted to find two experts to escort him to Liaodong, he would definitely not lend them anyone.

If it was for the old man's mission, it would be a bit unreasonable.

The old man knows the fifth brother's situation better than anyone else. If it is a dangerous mission, even if it is the other party's turn, he should send two experts to protect him secretly.

Thinking of this, Shen Yian quickly extended his spiritual sense to the surroundings of the palace.

Ok.

There was no expert waiting for Shen Tengfeng outside.

As for whether the other party will run into the palace, it is possible, but now he may have been thrown into the dungeon by Yinzai.

"To be honest, Sixth Brother, I'm currently investigating a case."

Shen Tengfeng let out a long sigh, his tone full of helplessness and a look of frustration.

Shen Yian: "?"

When investigating a case, how could these words be attributed to my fifth brother?

Is it that there is no one left in the Dali Temple, or is it that the Wuwei Division was wiped out?

"Sixth brother, don't look at me like that. Everything I said is true. I am not lying. I am really investigating a case recently."

Afraid that Shen Yian would not believe him, Shen Tengfeng made up his mind and took out three things from his arms, placed them in front of the two, and introduced them: "This is the disguise mask given by my father, the wind-hiding ring that can hide your breath, and this silver bag is the operation funds."

Shen Yian picked up the disguise mask and took a look. It was the real thing, and his expression became interesting.

Did the old man get hit by lightning? Why not give the fifth brother some task and let him investigate the case? !

"Fifth brother, father..."

Just as he was halfway through his words, Shen Tengfeng interrupted him excitedly: "Sixth brother, I think so too, is father's head..."

Shen Yian's eyes were dim, but he didn't say this.

"Hehehe, Sixth Brother, I think Father has a very, very nice head."

Shen Tengfeng realized that he had spoken too much, so he swallowed hard and gave an awkward smile.

"Okay, Fifth Brother, we are alone here. Now that we have come to this, tell me what case the Emperor asked you to investigate. I will see if there is any way I can help you."

Shen Yian smiled helplessly.

The old man asked the other party to investigate the case, there must be some purpose. It is impossible for him to give such a task to the fifth brother for no reason.

"My father asked me to investigate a smuggling case. The smuggled flower is a kind of flower that can make people feel excited and hallucinate. Its pollen can make people feel euphoric and intoxicated, but it is highly addictive."

"Recently, some people have been selling it in brothels and boats in Tianwu City, causing many people to get addicted to it. Although my father has issued an order to strictly prohibit the appearance of this kind of thing, it is not available openly, so many people buy it on the black market. Now, you can't even buy one flower on the black market for a hundred taels of silver."

"Now the news of this flower has been suppressed by the Wuwei Division, and many people have been arrested. Now only some powerful people and a small number of people know about the existence of this flower."

Shen Tengfeng sighed and said that something with such huge profits would definitely attract those who are interested in finding its source. As long as there is enough profit, the capital crime would not matter.

The Wuwei Division and the Dali Temple acted swiftly and decisively, clearing out the black market and some brothels and flower boats overnight. However, among the addicts there were many high-ranking officials who racked their brains for a flower.

This kind of high-intensity operation cannot be sustained. Once the Wuwei Division and the Dali Temple relax their vigilance, these flowers will reappear on the black market like mushrooms after rain, and it will be impossible to completely eradicate them.

If you want to solve the problem completely, you have to start from the root cause.

According to my father's intention, people from the Wuwei Division and the Dali Temple are more likely to be exposed in these places, but he often hangs out in these romantic places and knows all the tricks there. It is not easy for him to be discovered when he blends in. His nonchalant appearance makes it easier for him to come into contact with those flower dealers.

He also said that he had extraordinary luck and as long as he was determined, he would be able to find clues that ordinary people could hardly discover.

When he heard these words, he really couldn't tell whether his father was praising him or scolding him.

He also didn't expect that his title as "the number one playboy in Tianwu City" would come in handy one day.

Besides, this was a task assigned by his father, and he had no room for refusal.

Without having to deal with the chess tournament, the past few days of romance, eating and drinking had indeed helped his mental state recover a little, but the pressure had increased instead.

Knowing that he went to these places with a mission, he dared not relax at any time. In order to avoid exposing his true identity, he has not returned to the palace recently, but has been living in the residence arranged by the Wuwei Division outside.

During the day, he is the fifth prince and has to go to school from time to time. At night, he has to transform himself into a playboy, walking among the flowers without getting a single leaf on him.

To be honest, when he thought about Ruoyi fighting bravely on the front line while he was living a life of debauchery, he felt extremely guilty. Fortunately, it was not his intention but a mission to fulfill.

Because the chess tournament was well organized, his father commended him. If he could complete this task, his father would most likely directly confer the title of king on him.

Once he had his own palace, he could invite Ruoyi to visit him, and the two of them could enjoy the flowers, play chess, and chat together. Just thinking about it made him full of energy.

Shen Tengfeng, who was in his daydreaming state, didn't notice Shen Yian, who was sitting next to him with his eyes wide open.

Good guy.

The old man assigned such an exciting task to the fifth brother right away?

I have to say, the old man is really generous for not assigning two bodyguards to the fifth brother for such a mission.

The appearance of this flower at such a critical time is by no means accidental. There must be someone behind the scenes who is behind this with great ambitions.

I have been busy with Jingzhou and Li Yan's martial arts for some time, and have hardly paid attention to what happened in Tianwu City.

No wonder Mendu reported that the Dali Temple soldiers had been very active in the previous period, saying that they were arresting people, but he didn't find out what the specific matter was.

"Fifth brother, tell me everything you have heard and known."

Shen Yian's tone suddenly became serious.
