Qing Ning listened expressionlessly as the minister beside him introduced the courtyard in front of him, but her heart was calm and she did not make any comments.

However, it must be admitted that this courtyard is indeed very quiet and peaceful. Even the maids and guards who serve their masters are very decent in their words and deeds, and their etiquette is just right.

Qing Ning walked all the way to her room, nodded slightly, and then walked into the house. Only a few personal maids followed her in. The rest of the guards were all waiting at the door in an orderly manner, closely guarding the safety of this distinguished person.

Liu Peng stood quietly at the door, gave Qing Ning a standard salute, and then turned and left. Because at this moment he had many important matters to deal with, and those who were anxiously waiting for him to bring back news were looking forward to it.

Watching his departing figure, Qing Ning's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible cunning. She turned her head and whispered to the maid beside her: "Go and hand over the things I prepared to the guards at the door later. Remember, you must be careful and not be discovered by others." The maid nodded slightly to show that she understood, then turned and walked out of the room.

Walking to the guard's side, the maid lowered her voice and whispered a few words in the guard's ear. After listening, the guard was startled at first, but then he regained his composure and nodded slightly, indicating that he understood the task.

At the same time, another guard glanced at his brother next to him, and a tacit understanding flashed in his eyes. He gently patted the other's shoulder and asked him to come over and take his place. After the guard stood in his original position, the guard stood up and left with confidence.

All the guards who were able to follow Fu Jingheng to Jiangnan were experienced and agile. They were all confidants carefully selected and trained by Fu Jingheng. They were not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also loyal to Fu Jingheng. Even Fu Jingheng's father only thought that they were just a group of ordinary guards and did not realize their true strength and identity.

Just now, Qing Ning asked her personal maid to pass an item to the guard. It was actually some pills that could save lives at critical moments.

The Jiangnan region is picturesque and beautiful, but it is also like a femme fatale, hiding countless dangers and murderous intentions. No one can predict when and where they will encounter unexpected dangers.

Qing Ning sent guards to track down Liu Peng. As you can imagine, there must be many masters hiding beside Liu Peng. At that time, a fierce battle is inevitable. That is why Qing Ning gave the guards these life-saving pills in case of emergency, which may save his life in a life-or-death situation.

Fu Jingheng already has limited manpower around him, and every single one of them is crucial. Qing Ning naturally doesn't want to see any of them make any mistakes!

On the other hand, Fu Jingheng, who entered the city in disguise, pretended to be an ordinary citizen and sneaked into the city quietly.

Fu Jingheng walked on the busy streets, with people coming and going in an endless stream and noisy sounds. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the conversations of the people around him, but what surprised him was that the clothes these people wore were very good, without even a patch.

Just as Fu Jingheng was thinking, he suddenly heard someone beside him whispering something.

"Master Liu really spent a lot of money this time to give us such nice clothes. I heard that those who were too poor to even afford food were driven to the temple."

However, before he could finish his words, another person quickly covered his mouth.

"You kid, do you think your life is too long? How can you say such things so casually? If others hear it, you will lose more than ten lives!"

Hearing the words of the person next to him, the person who had just spoken realized the seriousness of the matter. His face turned pale as paper in an instant. He looked at his friend beside him in horror and begged for mercy again and again: "I was just talking nonsense in the heat of the moment. Please don't tell anyone... I promise I won't say anything anymore! Let's go..."

Fu Jingheng heard every word of this. He looked at the older brother beside him and nodded.

In order to avoid being discovered, he decided to hide in the crowd, being neither ostentatious nor cautious.

In the quiet and secluded luxurious mansion in the city center, a group of anxious people were waiting eagerly. Among them were officials and local wealthy people.

When Liu Peng hurried over, the others couldn't wait to ask a series of questions:

"What kind of person is this Second Prince? Is he easy to deal with?"

"Yes! What is his purpose for coming this time? Is it just to investigate the case? Or does he have other intentions?"

.......

Everyone was talking at once, chattering and asking questions non-stop, so Liu Peng could only raise his hand and say:

"Don't be impatient, everyone! Please allow me to answer your questions one by one. In my opinion, this Second Prince is just a fool, just like the Third Prince said. Oh no, to be precise, he is a pretty fool. However, in my opinion, the purpose of the Second Prince's visit this time should be limited to investigating the case. You should relax and wait until the banquet tonight to build a good relationship with the Second Prince. Who knows, we may have a big backer in the future!"

After hearing Liu Peng's words, the others breathed a sigh of relief. That's right, they would have to host a welcoming party for the Second Prince in the evening. If they could get close to him then, maybe someone would really protect him in the future.

At least I don’t have to rely on the Third Prince. After all, the Third Prince is too greedy and asks for too much every time.
