Madam General, please run slower.

"Ali!" Shi Yaojue's voice came in before he even stepped into the courtyard.

"Shh, the lady is resting." Wei Shiliu quickly spoke out to stop them.

"Are you still sleeping and not eating? You go and call her. No, I'll let the maid call her." Shi Yaojue said as he was about to tell the servants.

At this moment, Li pushed open the door. On the desk behind the door, dark spiritual power swept across all the papers and disappeared without a trace.

"Come on, Little Sixteen, if the prince wants to treat us to a meal, of course we have to go and show our support."

"That's right." Shi Yaojue opened the fan in his hand and said, "Come on, come on, let me tell you that the wine and drinks at Yuelai Pavilion in Nancheng are the best in Chaozhou City."

"Prince, this doesn't seem like the way you treat a maid, right?" Li followed him and walked out side by side.

"Why are you still playing the role of a maid? Chaozhou is my territory. Ali, you can do whatever you want." Shi Yaojue puffed out his chest proudly.

"There's no need to walk sideways, but is there a restaurant that has delicious food and a view of the city river?" Li needed to verify her guess, and a restaurant by the river was just right, and she also had the opportunity to get to know the terrain nearby.

"If you want to enjoy the scenery, Yuelai Pavilion is quite good. Let's get two pots of wine. It will be wonderful and enjoyable." It can be seen that Shi Yaojue has been thinking about the wine in Yuelai Pavilion for a long time. Not only did he urge the coachman all the way, but when he arrived at Yuelai Pavilion, he asked them to have two pots of aged wine before the dishes were ordered.

Li looked at him and said, "You will be forced to drink again if you wait here. Go eat something with Wei Wu. I will stay in this room and nothing will happen to me."

Wei Shiliu saw that Shi Yaojue did not refuse and agreed in a low voice.

Soon, the entire private room was filled with the rich aroma of food and wine.

"Come on, come on, let me toast to you, sister-in-law. I made a mistake when we roasted the meat, but I will definitely drink more than you this time."

"Come on." Li chuckled and clinked his glass with his.

After a few rounds, Shi Yaojue had begun to feel a little dazed, but Li was still eating calmly.

"Why did you suddenly come back to Chaozhou this time?" Li reached out and poured another glass of wine for Shi Yaojue.

"I get angry when I talk about this." Shi Yaojue angrily picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth. "There was a batch of celadon that was to be sent to the palace. It was originally scheduled to be transported to the capital before the New Year, but it was intercepted by bandits on the river halfway."

"Forget it. It's still early, so I can just restock the stock. But the kiln where the celadon is made has a problem again. I have no choice but to come here in person."

"Why are there bandits suddenly? Has this happened before?" Li took a sip of wine and lowered his eyes to hide his thoughts.

"It did happen in the early years, but after the imperial court suppressed it for a while, it died down a lot. It hasn't happened in recent years. I didn't expect to be so unlucky. It just happened to me." Shi Yaojue drank another glass of wine irritably.

"Misfortunes often bring blessings. There is a lot of money waiting for Shi Shi to make in the future."

"Haha, then I'll take advantage of sister-in-law's good words. Come on, keep drinking." Shi Yaojue was happy to hear Li's words. He was so happy that he couldn't stop drinking. He fell down completely before he could have a few more rounds.

When Li saw that Yaojue was completely asleep, he stood up and went to the window to look at the city river below. There was no curfew in Chaozhou City. It was already dark, but the streets were still bustling.

Li could feel some subtle spiritual power lingering above the river, and then slowly dissipated towards the outside.

"Tanghulu, wake up, don't sleep anymore."

The little ball of light, who was forced to wake up by his master, yawned and called softly, "Master."

"Can you find what's at the bottom of the river?"

"It's too far. It's not going to work." Tanghulu pulled himself together. "But Master, your guess is correct. The spiritual power is indeed emanating from the center of the river. There may be a place like the forbidden cold palace at the bottom of the river."

"Don't fall asleep yet. You have to work hard tonight. Let's go down to the river to explore." Li had drawn quite a few breath-holding talismans, but he was afraid that there might be an ancient formation underneath. No matter how many talismans he had, they would not be enough to consume one ancient formation.

"Okay, master." Tanghulu shook its body and moved a few times in its sea of ​​consciousness from time to time. As long as it moved more, it would definitely not be sleepy anymore.

Li went out and called Wei Shiliu to come in and move the unconscious Shi Yaojue. When Wei Shiliu entered the room, he smelled the aroma of wine. He felt drunk just by smelling it. He couldn't help but worry, "Miss, you should drink less wine in your health."

"I got it. Let's go. I'm so sleepy." Li waved his hand perfunctorily.

He knew it, but he certainly didn't listen. Wei Shiliu curled his lips helplessly, and with a little skill, he carried Shi Yaojue on his back and walked towards the mansion easily.

Li returned to the room and quickly locked onto Wei Wu's secret location. He changed into a set of dark clothes, put an invisibility talisman on himself, and ran away through the window in broad daylight.

Li moved freely among the crowd, looking for the place with the strongest spiritual energy along the river bank.

"Master, it's this way, right under the river." Tanghulu reminded at the right time.

"Okay." Li patted the breath-holding talisman under his lapel, and after making sure it was firmly in place, he swam to the bottom of the river in one go.

From the perspective of passers-by, there were only a few small splashes on the surface of the river, and they thought it was just the fish in the river playing around, so they didn't think much about it.

The deeper she swam, the more she could feel the agitation of the spiritual energy around her. But she had already swam nearly a mile deep and hadn't touched the bottom yet. Something was wrong.

"Tanghulu, do you know what's going on?" The surrounding spiritual energy was fluctuating, which was different from the maze in the cold palace. In her mind, she was almost a mile deep, but a normal river couldn't be that deep. Then there was a possibility that her consciousness was confused, so this was an illusion?

Tanghulu also agreed with her point of view, "Master, it is indeed an illusion."

"Can you solve it?"

"It will take some time."

Li was just about to use some spiritual power to explore the range of the illusion array, but suddenly he felt pain in his arm. However, when he looked at his right hand, there was no injury at all.

Li understood immediately and mobilized his spiritual power to wrap his body up, "Tanghulu, break the formation quickly, something is attacking me in reality."

"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible." Tanghulu also anxiously tried to sense the formation in front of him.

If this illusion array was on land, it would be easy to deal with, but this is in a river. As the river flows, the center of the array is constantly changing, which greatly increases the difficulty of breaking the array.

The spiritual power in Li's Dantian was quickly exhausted, and the moment the spiritual power shield on her body was broken, something attacked her ankle. Li could only close her eyes and rely on her body's instinctive reaction to resist, but there was more than one attacking her.

Pain came from the neck, ankles, and arms at the same time. Li cursed softly and finally understood what the ghost thing in the cold palace said, that if you try your best, you can still get it. This is not only a matter of life, but also a thick skin.

After Li had been bitten countless times, he finally heard Tanghulu's voice, "Master, attack Kan, Kun, and Dui simultaneously after five breaths."

"Five, four, ..., one, now!"

As Tanghulu's voice fell, Li also transformed the last bit of spiritual power in his body into spiritual arrows and attacked towards the direction Tanghulu said.

A crisp cracking sound was heard, and Li also broke away from the illusion array on the seabed and entered... another illusion array.
