Chapter 18: Putting a Long Line to Catch Big Fish
Nan Xi was ticklish and couldn't help but giggle: "Your Majesty, look at how happy it is, you should give it a hug too."

She handed over the cerebellar axe.

When the amber beast eyes met Li Qingmo's cold gaze, he paused suddenly, then broke away from Nan Xi's hand and ran away quickly.

"My lord, you scared it away." Nan Xi bravely complained, but he was looking at Li Qingmo's face from the corner of his eye.

【Not angry! 】

[Is the villain really cold-faced and hot-hearted? 】

Nan Xi felt as if he had discovered something extraordinary. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, his apricot eyes were slightly curved, and he was in a very good mood.

Li Qingmo said with a sullen face: "Is this king terrible?"

"Of course not. Yuanbao must have been impressed by your majesty, Prince, and felt ashamed of himself, so he ran away." He wears a lot of clothes but never wears them, all for the sake of merit.

Li Qingmo stared at Nan Xi's face for a while. Although he didn't hear any additional sounds, he intuitively felt that these words were definitely not true.

This woman is used to saying something different.

In front of the study door, Nan Xi paused.

[The study is an important place, no one should enter. There may be secrets from the villain here, so it’s better to stay as far away as possible. 】

Li Qingmo, who had already entered, turned around and said, "Come in."

Nan Xi: "Oh."

[The villain is so unguarded against me?There must be something fishy going on, there must be a monster, it’s better to be careful, I still have to earn some merit. 】

"Your Majesty, your study is so beautifully decorated."

"With so many books, one can see that the prince is a diligent and studious person."

"Ah, Your Majesty, your calligraphy is so beautiful, vigorous and powerful, and worth learning."

After a wave of rainbow farts, Nan Xi saw Li Qingmo's face warm up as he wished, and his eyes even filled with tenderness.

[It turns out that the villain likes to be praised, I understand. 】

Xia Rui didn't understand the interaction between the two people's eyes. He grabbed a carrier pigeon, took off the note hanging on the pigeon's leg and handed it to Li Qingmo.

"Master, Lan Jue's reply to you."

Lan Jue is also Li Qingmo's right-hand man. He is good at disguise and knows the gossip of Qimen. He often helps him collect information when he is out.

After Li Qingmo read it, he gave it to Nan Xi.

Nan Xi hesitated for a moment before taking it.

Written above are the number of times Li Jiang secretly entered and exited Prince Gong's Mansion, as well as the details of how he lured assassins into the inn when he was in Haiyang County.

"So the prince has long suspected that there is a traitor?"

[Then why wasn’t it dealt with immediately?This doesn't fit the character of the villain who kills brutally. 】

Li Qingmo: "..."

In the eyes of this woman, what is his image like this?
"You can only catch big fish by playing a long game." Li Qingmo handed several letters on the table to Nan Xi, "Those four killers were all dead soldiers of Prince Gong's palace, and they died without evidence. Now how do you think I should fight back? ?”

It's not Li Qingmo's temperament to wait to be beaten.

Nan Xi read several letters and found that they contained information on hundreds of people in Prince Gong's residence from top to bottom. The details were so detailed that it was terrifying to think about them.

[It’s no wonder that the male and female protagonists see the villain as a stumbling block. Who wouldn’t be afraid of this information network? 】

After reading this, Nan Xi was confused: "Your Majesty, since those four killers are dead men, how come they have the badge of Prince Gong's Palace on them?"

Dead soldiers are all shady. They live only for their missions. If they fail the mission, they will die. How can they carry such a belt that can prove their identity?

Li Qingmo followed her words and asked, "So?"

Nan Xi: "So someone must be setting the blame, or they hope that the prince will find out that they are from Prince Gong's house, provoke a conflict between you and Prince Gong's house, and reap the benefits."

Li Qing's eyes showed admiration: "You are very smart."

Then he told Xia Rui: "Go and check."

"Yes."

Not long after Xia Rui left, Li Jiang came.

At this time, Nan Xi was reaching for the medical books on the top row of the bookshelf. Unfortunately, he was not tall enough, so he had to do it with the villain.Li Qingmo stood behind her, raising his right hand high: "Want to read this book?"

"Yeah." Nan Xi nodded and took it.

After reading a few pages, I was ecstatic.

[This is a unique copy. I didn’t expect the villain to be here! 】

"Your Majesty, can you lend me this book?" Her eyes were shining.

As if to say: Promise me, promise me, promise me.

Li Qingmo turned around, sat back on the chair, and no longer looked at those eyes that made him feel soft.

"You can only watch it from here."

"no problem."

Nan Xi went to the window and sat down. He was far away from the villain and did not leave the study.

Li Qingmo glanced at her and frowned slightly. Just as he was about to say something, Li Jiang came.

"Sir." Li Jiang bowed his head and said, "My subordinates have found the location of the Mimeng Pavilion headquarters and can send troops to eradicate it at any time."

Nan Xi pouted.

[Of course you know the location of the Mimeng Pavilion headquarters, because you are the killer there. 】

[The big villain, please don’t listen to his deception. He just wants to kill people with a borrowed knife and take the opportunity to escape from the Dream Pavilion. 】

Li Qingmo narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes cold.

Ha ha ha.

It's really interesting.

Li Jiang has been with him since he was a child, and he doesn't even know when he joined Mi Meng Pavilion.

"Sending troops?" Li Qingmo's voice rose, and the speed of playing with walnuts gradually increased, "A mere Jianghu organization is worthy of me sending troops? Li Jiang, just handle this matter. Remember, I want this Mimeng Pavilion to disappear completely. There must be no omissions.”

Li Jiang was slightly startled, as if he was surprised by Li Qingmo's decision.

"Sir, are you going alone?"

Li Qingmo: "I believe that you alone are enough."

Li Jiang could no longer argue, so he could only bow his hands in agreement, turn around and go out.

Nan Xi lowered his head to read, seemingly serious, but actually he was laughing heartily.

[The villain actually sent Li Jiang to annihilate Mimeng Pavilion alone. What is the difference between this and sending a mouse into the cat's nest?Hahaha……】

Li Qingmo raised his eyes and looked at her, "What? Do you think this king is too cruel to treat Li Jiang like this?"

Nan Xi subconsciously touched her face. Could it be that she failed to manage her expression just now and the villain saw it?
"Of course not. The prince trusted Li Jiang, but Li Jiang secretly betrayed him. Even if he had some good intentions when destroying that Mimeng Pavilion, he was the one to blame. Your prince, you didn't do it yourself because you were thinking of giving him face through the years of master-servant friendship. "

"Haha." Li Qingmo's lips curled up slightly, "Master-servant friendship? Who told you that this king would care about this?"

Nan Xi fell silent.

[In the original work, the main villain is cold-hearted, but the dignified Regent doesn’t even have a woman in his backyard, as if he really doesn’t have any feelings. 】

Li Qingmo frowned, and just as he was about to say something, Xia Rui came back.

"There is someone coming from the palace. The emperor has summoned you to the palace."

Nan Xi quickly put down the book and returned to Yunyan Pavilion.

"Miss Nan, I have made a few more cakes. Come and try them." Hanli walked in carrying a food box.

Nan Xi was surprised: "So many?"

Hanli could only explain: "I have only been serving the girl for a short time, and I don't know the girl's taste yet, so I made a little bit of everything."

Nan Xi tasted each one, and then took advantage of Han Lian's time to put the rest into the space.

When Hanlian came back, he saw only a few empty plates.

He thought to himself: Miss Nan really eats a lot. From now on, she should ask the kitchen to prepare more food for her.
