This is the kind of talk that Huo Changhe least believes.

What is it that he is omniscient, knows the past and the future, and is omnipotent?

He scoffed, "Go on."

"What's his name, where does he live, and who knows him? Tell me all about it."

Huo Changhe loosened his grip a little, and Cheng Guanghan finally managed to slow down.

"I don't know his name. He said he had long forgotten who he was. He was just a messenger from heaven and earth. Who else knows him? It should be..."

Cheng Guanghan was about to speak when suddenly a sharp sound came whistling through the window frame!

Huo Changhe grabbed Cheng Guanghan and kicked the chair over with his toes.

With two "snap" sounds, the arrow hit the chair.

Cheng Guanghan was so frightened that his soul left his body. When he looked again, he saw that his father had been hit by two arrows and was bleeding profusely. He was already dead.

Cheng Guanghan’s eyes went dark and he fainted.

"Your Highness!" Yan Ruyu's voice came from outside.

Huo Changhe no longer paid attention to Cheng Guanghan, drew his sword, and jumped into the yard.

Yan Ruyu was standing in the yard with two swords in her hands. A man in servant's clothes was lying dead at her feet, with crossbows and arrows scattered around him.

Seeing Huo Changhe come out with no external injuries, Yan Ruyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you okay?" Yan Ruyu asked him, "What's the situation?"

"I'm fine. Cheng Shichuan is dead, but Cheng Guanghan is not."

"The poison," Yan Ruyu pointed at the corpse, "He was shooting arrows in when I came. As soon as I stopped him, he died of the poison."

Huo Changhe asked Yan Ruyu to step back two steps and lean over to take a closer look.

"It's the fangs. This man must be a dead warrior."

Huo Changhe stood up and asked, "How is Madam Cheng doing?"

"she……"

Before he could finish his words, Mrs. Cheng walked quickly into the yard, her face pale.

Seeing the dead man on the ground, she was shocked: "This... Prince, Princess, why did you kill him?"

"Look carefully, no one killed him, he took poison himself." Yan Ruyu pointed at the corpse, "There is no external injury on his body."

Madam Cheng took two steps back, not daring to look closely: "He is Li Shun, a servant in the outer courtyard. How could he be..."

Yan Ruyu saw that she didn't look like she had rushed over to see him after hearing the news.

"What are you doing here? What happened?"

Madam Cheng lowered her eyes, not daring to look at her, her lips trembling slightly, as if there was something she was afraid to say.

"What happened?" Huo Changhe didn't have the patience to waste time with her. "If you don't tell me, I will send people to search the mansion and seal it off."

"You, the Cheng family, are full of filth and evil, and everyone should be investigated!"

Madam Cheng said quickly, "No, I...I wanted to tell the master that the people in Yao'er's yard are missing."

"I want to ask the master, what should we do? After all, after all..."

"What after all, tell me!"

"After all, they also served Yao'er in her marriage, and they knew some of the details. The master once told them not to tell anyone. Now that they are gone, I am worried that the news will leak out, so I came to tell the master."

Yan Ruyu felt disgusted by her appearance, thinking her to be weak, stupid and vicious.

"He is in the room. Go and talk to him yourself."

Mrs. Cheng bowed, lowered her head and walked into the house.

I didn't want her to see that kind of scene. After all, she is a woman, so I should be more considerate of her. But her words and expression just now made Yan Ruyu angry.

Maids and old women deserve to be suppressed and bullied. Why can't she endure anything and accept any stimulation at all?

Accept your fate.

"Ah!" a scream was heard.

Yan Ruyu whispered, "Your Majesty, bring Cheng Guanghan out, we will ask him in the yard."

"it is good."

When Huo Changhe brought Cheng Guanghan to the yard, he was still asleep.

Yan Ruyu immediately poured a bucket of cold water on him to wake him up.

Although it is getting warmer now, the water in the vat in the yard is still ice-cold. Cheng Guanghan woke up with a startle and heard the sound of his mother crying in the house.

Cheng Guanghan subconsciously looked back at the room, and suddenly remembered the scene of his father being shot to death, and his face turned pale again.

When he turned around and saw the servant's body, he was shocked again.

For several times, my spirit was beating in tension and fear, and I was almost on the verge of collapse.

Yan Ruyu saw the right moment and said, "Master, did you meet him by chance, or was he introduced to you by someone?"

"Yes, someone introduced me." Cheng Guanghan replied in a low voice, "It was Mr. Qiu from the Qiu family. He introduced me when I went to Shencheng."

"My family's business was losing money at the time, and I was feeling depressed, so I went out to drink. I saw Mr. Qiu San was meeting with a man in a mysterious way. Naturally, my identity was not suitable for the Qiu family."

"I followed him secretly and found that Mr. Qiu San went to a Wangyouxiangmenzhai, but when I wanted to go in, I was stopped."

"The next day, I heard that the Third Master of the Qiu family bought a shop and then did a big business. I guessed it must be related to that place, so I went to visit him again, but was still stopped. So I brought a generous gift and asked to see the Third Master Qiu."

"But I didn't go to his shop or residence. Instead, I followed his whereabouts. When I saw him go to a brothel to celebrate after making money, I followed him, met him at the banquet, and gave him a generous gift."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, even if Mr. Qiu San didn't want to agree or introduce the girl, he couldn't do it. He was also worried that Cheng Guanghan might tell his "secret" to others.

Yan Ruyu chuckled and said sarcastically, "You really know how to find the right time. I'm sure he wouldn't be happy even if he accepted your gift. But you should not care anymore."

Cheng Guanghan lowered his head: "Indeed, I originally thought that if he is happy, that would be the best, and we can have a relationship in the future. If he is unhappy, then I have also received news about Xiangmen, so it is not a loss."

"Go on!"

"To go to Xiangmenzhai, you need an old customer to introduce you. It's a chance to make a fortune. If you don't have a very good relationship, who would introduce you to others?"

"It was there that I met the great wizard. With his guidance, my business did not turn around, but at least I did not lose money and made a small profit. Then, I got to know the housekeeper of the Qiu Mansion."

Seeing Yan Ruyu's questioning look, Cheng Guanghan quickly said, "I had my doubts at first, too. I was afraid that Third Master Qiu was unhappy and deliberately sent someone to deceive me. I specifically asked around. The Qiu family is large and has many housekeepers. The one I know is the housekeeper of their eldest uncle and aunt."

"The eldest and the third have never gotten along well, and everyone in the business circle knows it, so I'm relieved."

He also wanted to put it down and said that Yan Ruyu didn't want to listen to his business gossip for the time being.

Ask directly: "Is the Archmage a man or a woman? How old is he? Does he have any other characteristics? Tell me the truth."

"He's a man. I don't know his age, but he's not particularly young, at least he must be 30. His features... I really can't tell. He always wears the same clothes, and doesn't show any skin at all."

"How did he get Cheng Fengyao to agree to marry?"
