Thinking of this, the green-robed middle-aged man felt only helplessness and resignation.
He was just a small centurion, how could he be qualified to advise him, let alone teach the heir how to do things.
Cheng Tianfeng said, "I want to meet this young lady from the Anguo Duke's mansion."
The green-robed middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Young Heir, this Miss Xiao rarely leaves the mansion, she's in the mansion all day long."
"Doesn't leave the mansion?" Cheng Tianfeng pondered, "Then lure her out. Who is she most concerned about?"
"— — — — - It should be Duke Anguo."
"Forget about Duke Anguo." Cheng Tianfeng waved his hand: "A Grandmaster at the peak, not easy to move. Anyone else?"
"Then it's the Young Duke." The green-robed middle-aged man thought for a while: "The Anguo Duchess passed away early, and the Young Duke was brought up by his elder sister, so their relationship is naturally extraordinary."
"Does this Young Duke often leave the mansion?"
"— — - Doesn't leave the mansion much either." The green-robed middle-aged man said, "This Young Duke has a somewhat introverted personality and doesn't like socializing."
"As the Young Duke, no matter how introverted and unwilling to socialize, he should still socialize, right?"
The green-robed middle-aged man scratched his head.
His mind raced, racking his brains, how could he lure Xiao Ruoling out so that Cheng Tianfeng could take a look.
Cheng Tianfeng stared at him, his eyes bright, as if seeing through his heart.
The green-robed middle-aged man thought for a while and slowly said, "If the Young Heir really wants to meet her, then we can only take a risky move."
"How?"
"Write a fake invitation and lure her out."
Cheng Tianfeng pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head: "Forget it, I won't make things difficult for you. It's not easy for you either. If it's exposed because of this, it would be my fault."
"— — Young Heir, we can try."
"Can it be done? No need to force yourself."
"— — It can be done!" The green-robed middle-aged man gritted his teeth.
His mouth was full of bitterness.
He might lose his life.
If the Young Heir really wanted to act recklessly and seize Xiao Ruoling, he didn't know how much trouble it would cause, and he was afraid that he would lose his head.
Since that's the case, he could only take a gamble, hug the Young Heir's thigh, and let him remember his merits and abilities and not abandon him.
"Then tomorrow morning."
"... — — . Morning — — — . Yes!"
Doing so was still extremely risky.
Therefore, it was extremely difficult to obtain these invitations, and it was easy to expose the secret agents in each mansion.
What's more, invitations were often delivered in advance, and it was rare to send an invitation on the same day and ask the other party to attend the banquet on the same day.
Especially tomorrow morning.
It was already late.
This meant that the invitation had to be sent tonight, and it would be impolite to send it too late.
The difficulty of this matter was extremely high.
But only extremely high difficulty could show his talent, and only then could he seize the Young Heir's thigh and rise to prominence!
As the saying goes, wealth and honor are sought in danger, let's risk it!
However, this Eagle Prince Heir was indeed as rumored, not very sympathetic to his subordinates, and was a ruthless person.
Chu Zhiyuan sat on his couch and began to recall what he had just seen.
He wanted to infer Cheng Tianfeng's strength through details, as well as the depth of the two Grandmasters, and compare it with Chu Qingfeng's cultivation.
If he could find a way to get rid of Cheng Tianfeng's jade pendant, he might be able to get a glimpse of his depth, but unfortunately, this opportunity was slim.
Cheng Tianfeng had a Grandmaster by his side, and all schemes were in vain.
Only a direct confrontation was possible.
He was now at the ninth level of the Innate Realm, the third level of the Dragon Transformation Art, the Great Achievement of the Sword Washing Art, and the Great Avalanche Sword Art and the Ruler of the Heavens Step were practiced to perfection.
With the activation of twenty apertures, the execution of true energy was about five times that of ordinary people, which meant that the power of the Great Avalanche Sword Art and the Ruler of the Heavens Step were increased several times.
Even against a Grandmaster, he had the power to fight.
There was no need to worry too much.
Thinking of this, he took out the Phoenix Pendant, observed it for a while until he was exhausted, and then fell asleep directly.
In the Tianxiang Courtyard of the Anguo Duke's Mansion in the early morning, Xiao Ruoling was dressed in white practice clothes, slowly practicing her fist techniques, her figure graceful and charming, making it impossible to take one's eyes off her.
Two pretty little maids stood aside, watching infatuatedly, lost in a daze.
No matter how many times they watched, every time they saw it, they would be intoxicated by it and unable to extricate themselves, it was simply a great enjoyment.
If one day they were delayed by something and couldn't watch, they would feel empty and uncomfortable all day long, until they saw it the next day, they would recover.
Footsteps came from outside, Xiao Ruoyu raised his voice and said, "Sister."
"Come in." Xiao Ruoling said.
Xiao Ruoyu strode in, holding an invitation in his hand: "It's the Second Miss of the Kangguo Duke's Mansion inviting you to come over and enjoy the flowers."
Xiao Ruoling's movements didn't stop.
Xiao Ruoyu stood aside and waited.
After Xiao Ruoling finished a set of fist techniques slowly, a little maid handed over a towel, and another little maid handed over a teacup.
Xiao Ruoling came to the small pavilion next to her and sat down, took the invitation handed over by Xiao Ruoyu, and glanced at her slender eyebrows that extended into her temples.
Xiao Ruoyu said, "Do you want to refuse?"
He knew that Xiao Ruoling had a very good friendship with the Second Miss Song, and they were considered close friends.
The two of them didn't have so much politeness in their interactions, they were straightforward and unrestrained.
Xiao Ruoling glanced at him and shook her head.
"Really not going?" Xiao Ruoyu asked puzzled.
"Yeah, not going." Xiao Ruoling nodded.
"If you don't go, won't it hurt your feelings?" Xiao Ruoyu said.
Xiao Ruoling said: "If she wants to invite me, she doesn't need an invitation, it's superfluous, and she wouldn't use this kind of invitation."
Xiao Ruoyu was startled.
Xiao Ruoling said: "Xiao Hu, as the Young Duke, you must be careful everywhere and always be vigilant."
Xiao Ruoyu didn't understand: "Is this a fake? — — — — — - That's not right, right?"
If it was a fake, the doorman would be able to see through it at a glance, they still had this bit of discernment, so it was a real invitation,
but it was sent by someone else.
His handsome face darkened, and he sneered: "Is someone trying to do something wrong? Why!"
The mansion hadn't had any movements in recent years. His father was a mere Left Vice Minister in the Ministry of Rites, also a leisurely position, not caring about any trivial matters.
He and his elder sister also didn't care about worldly affairs.
Who would want to harm his elder sister?
Xiao Ruoling said: "Forget it, don't bother with it."
Xiao Ruoyu said: "No, we can't let it go like this!"
If it was aimed at him, he wouldn't react so strongly.
If it was aimed at Xiao Ruoling, he couldn't stand it.
He thought: If the person behind the scenes failed in one plan, they might come up with another plan, and then constantly scheme against his elder sister. If this person wasn't caught or even killed, the trouble would be endless and the danger would be great.
Xiao Ruoling asked: "Can't let it go like this, what are you going to do?"
Xiao Ruoyu fell into deep thought.
Then how to chase?
He couldn't mess around in the Duke's mansion, he needed to hand it over to the court's yamen to do it.
Should he let the Town Guard Division, or the City Guard Army, or others?
For a time, he hesitated.
After all, he hadn't experienced this kind of thing, he was at a loss, he only knew that he must chase down the murderer, but he didn't know how to chase.
Xiao Ruoling looked at him with a half-smile.
Xiao Ruoyu tried his best to think, racking his brains, not wanting Xiao Ruoling to look down on him, not wanting to be treated as a child again.
He snorted and said: "I'm going to find the people from the Town Guard Division!"
"Will the people from the Town Guard Division pay attention to you? They are very arrogant."
"I am the Young Duke!"
"If you were the Young Heir, then they would value you, the Young Duke is still a bit lacking."
The Town Guard Division directly received orders from the Emperor, they all knew that they should be lone officials, regardless of princes, nobles, or generals and important ministers, they ignored them all.
Only princes and grandsons would attract their attention.
Apart from that, they only received orders from the Emperor.
"Then — — — — City Guard Army?"
"Where are the roots of our eight great Duke's mansions?"
"In the army."
"Then where do you go to find people?"
"Imperial Guards — — — - Imperial Guards are definitely not good, then it's the Infantry Yamen!"
"That's right." Xiao Ruoling nodded: "If you want to investigate, then go to the Infantry Yamen, but the Infantry Yamen is not good at this kind of thing, — — — — - so, there's no need to waste your effort."
"Sister, you've thought of everything." Xiao Ruoyu scratched his head.
Could it be that he was really stupid?
The two little maids next to him saw his doubts and covered their mouths to giggle.
A little maid said: "Young Duke, it's not that you're stupid, it's that Miss is too smart!"
"But just let it go like this?" Xiao Ruoyu said unwillingly.
Xiao Ruoling looked at him with a half-smile.
