Chapter 22: The Law of the Jungle(1/2)

The infinite glow of the setting sun spreads from the sky to the bottom of the lake. The Yanliu Pavilion shrouded in golden light is more beautiful than the beautiful sky.

Surrounded by curls of music, Tingting's dancing postures are lingering, and the colorful scenes on the husband-waiting platform are mesmerizing.

It is better to say that it is a platform for watching husbands than it is a boat for seducing souls. It is docked on the wooden bank of the lake and has attracted countless young masters and princes to forget to return.

"Brother Fan, this way."

At the bustling bridge, a handsome young man walked up from the crowd, looked at Fan Xian and waved.

Fan Xian stepped forward to greet him and introduced each other as brother and brother. Chen Mu learned that this person was the crown prince Li Hongcheng, the only son of Prince Xiaoyao Li Zhi.

Li Hongcheng was the intermediary and came to invite Fan Xian on behalf of the second prince. Fan Xian had known this for a long time, so he hesitated without leaving any trace and led everyone to the VIP room.

The second prince was a very dissolute and powerful man, but he knew what was appropriate and knew where to go. Seeing Chen Mu and a large group of people coming in, he was slightly shocked and asked everyone to sit wherever they wanted.

The second prince's attention was entirely focused on Fan Xian, and his words were full of temptations. Soon, Xianju's number one came on stage with his pipa in his arms, and everyone in the audience shouted, interrupting everyone's private conversation.

"As expected of being the number one among Zuixianju, she is quite pretty."

Fan Xian was the happiest person to see Si Lili appear. He was excited but also a little worried: In this increasingly unknown world, would those beauties still belong to him?

He had set a goal for himself, not only to marry Princess Chen and Sisi, but also to capture all the youth in the world. Among them, the one he couldn't let go the most was the widow Teng Zijin.

Seeing Fan Xian's entranced look, the second prince had disappointment in his eyes: If the other party was the target of this trip, he couldn't be fooled by the color.

Then, he comforted himself: after living in the mortal world for many years, the dream interpreter may also be tempted.

"Master Xiao Fan, are you interested?"

"It's an ownerless flower that's famous in the capital, so there's no harm in admiring it."

"Haha, it's easy. Just answer three questions from Miss Lili and you can have a happy kiss."

Fan Xian smiled and did not answer. In his impression, the plot did not seem to develop like this.

In the corner, Fan Xiaomei also vividly told Li Luo the story of Si Lili, which was somewhat different from what Chen Mu had heard before.

Si Lili did not get married because her fiancé Chen Mu went off to war on the eve of the wedding. There was no news from the three-year war. When she was heartbroken, she heard bad news from her fiancé's comrades. She did not believe that her fiancé was martyred and dreamed of him being killed by a caravan.

Rescue. Searching here from the north just to find each other.

"I hope Zuixianju made it up on purpose, otherwise she would be too pitiful."

Fan Xiaomei sighed sympathetically, but Li Luo didn't answer.

When the song ended, most of the young masters dressed as literati and elegant men were still pretending to close their eyes and meditate. But the master of ceremonies was unambiguous, and his voice, almost pleading, could be heard throughout the boat.

"The questions from the slave family are the same as the previous three. Is anyone willing to answer them?"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone walked out of the crowd.

"My Excellency, Chen Mu, thank you Miss Lili for your affection. I didn't expect things to turn out like this. No matter what your request, I will definitely make it up to you. I am here just to take you home."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room yelled at him for being hypocritical. In the private room, the second prince glanced at Fan Xian's expression inadvertently, but he didn't see anything, which made him even more suspicious.

Si Lili didn't believe it immediately, and after saying his thanks, he asked the other party to answer his questions.

"My fiancé has three best comrades in arms, what are their names?"

"Are you referring to Chen Hao, Lin Kun and Liang Bo?"

Everyone was yelling nonsense again, but suddenly the sound stopped, and they all had a bad feeling, because Miss Si Lili actually smiled.

Chen Mu cast his eyes when he heard this. These were the names of his three roommates. But apart from them, Wang Nian and his group probably also knew who the other party would be?

Fan Xian secretly thought that it was not possible for him to answer such a question: Does this Secretary Lili really have a fiancé?

The second prince was the calmest, because they arranged this person. He just took a peek at Fan Xian's reaction, and he was still not sure.

"Second question, my fiancé has a personal maid. I heard that the maid is as beautiful as a fairy in a dream. Do you know?"

After the words fell, everyone looked at "Chen Mu" nervously, praying that he would not answer.

As if influenced by the will of all living beings, the visitor actually stopped where he was and became anxious. At this time, another voice came from the crowd.

"The maid you are talking about cannot be Jiang Nan, right?"

At this moment, many people's expressions suddenly changed. Chen Mu, the second prince, Fan Xian, and many people in the hall all focused on a handsome young man in the corner. So much so that the equally handsome companion beside him,

Being directly ignored.

"The third question, who do you regard me as yours?"

"Miss Li Li"

Fan Xian stood up suddenly, knowing that if he didn't take the initiative, he would have no chance: "You are a living person, with an independent personality and a noble soul that is not inferior to anyone else. Your excellence determines that you cannot be anyone's vassal.

In order to find an answer that satisfies you, I know that many people have used resources that are difficult for ordinary people to understand to inquire about your life experience. I don’t want a beautiful girl like you to be deceived. I don’t know if the so-called Chen Mu is worth your efforts.

, but I can tell you, it’s up to you to decide who your Chen Mu is.”

"That's right, your question has never changed. Someone who is interested has already found the answer."

Although they thought Fan Xian's words were ridiculous, all the men in the room agreed: If they don't stop her, Miss Si Lili will be the first to get in.

Si Lili looked at the box upstairs. Everyone thought she was looking at Fan Xian, but the second prince's look gave her the next step.

"Young master, what you said makes sense. I wonder if you can go to the slave's residence and talk about it?"

Fan Xian finally let go of his tense heart. Although the process was somewhat tortuous, the ending was still right.

"Master Xiao Fan, congratulations, you moved the beauty's heart with just a few words."

"Since you've come to Zuixianju, of course you have to have a good time. Everyone, enjoy yourself."

"Brother, do you really want to go?"

"I have questions that need to be answered. You and Brother Teng and the others will wait for a moment. I will be back soon."

Fan Xian couldn't hide his excitement and said goodbye. Chen Mu and Chen Mu couldn't stay any longer, so they hugged the gift and exited the box, but Fan Xiaomei was left enthusiastically by Li Hongcheng.

"What do you think?"

After leaving the box, Li Luo asked immediately. The person who asked the question, Si Lili, and the person who answered the first two questions must be an acquaintance of Chen Mu.

"No matter how a person's appearance changes, his true nature cannot be concealed. I looked at Si Lili and the impostor for a long time and couldn't figure out who they were, but the man in the corner seemed familiar to me."

"Okay, let's go find him."

"Fire!"

Before the two of them had finished descending the stairs, there was a sudden noise in the hall. After a loud shout, people rushed out of all the boxes, causing chaos in the whole place.

"Split up. You go and take Miss Fan with you. I'll go find someone. Meet me at the parking place."

The accident happened so suddenly, and both of them vaguely felt that something was wrong. After hearing Chen Mu's suggestion, Li Luo said "take care" and returned upstairs.

"Get out of the way, get out of my way, young master."

"Who dares to squeeze in? Believe it or not, I will destroy your whole family?"



For a moment, the entire hall was in extreme chaos, with shouts and curses mixed in. The unlucky ones fell to the ground and could not get up again.

Seeing the situation in the hall, Chen Mu's heart sank, and he hurriedly hid in the corner. When he estimated that the distance was about the same, he suddenly felt a murderous intention approaching.

"Ah! Someone is dead!"

Someone shouted in the hall, making the scene even more chaotic. Chen Mu was anxious and used force to crowd out the crowd.

"How dare Xiaoxiao commit an assassination?"

Still separated by several human walls, cold shouts came from the corner. Chen Mu had already seen a man dressed as a scholar holding a fan and sword and attacking two thin scholars.

Faced with the obstruction, the killer did not hesitate at all, and immediately attacked with more violent moves. With just one move, the opponent was knocked away, and his body was cut through the board and fell into the river.

After a successful attack, the scholar took advantage of the situation to pursue him, clanging his sword and striking directly at the scholar's fatal point.

"I am Princess Chen, do you dare?"

The scholar's words shocked the killer, but this could not stop his murderous intention. What saved the scholar was a sudden big hand.

"Whose person are you?"

At the critical moment, it was Chen Mu who grabbed the murderer's neck with one hand. He had reason to believe that the murderer was Wang Nian's man.

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is, who are you?"

"Where did this idiot come from? Let's wait and see."

Seeing that the murderer was captured, Princess Chen picked up the wine bottle on the table and smashed it down hard. It made a crashing sound and porcelain shards were inserted all over the murderer's face.

Chen Mu was about to scold him when he suddenly noticed that the murderer's face had turned dark. When he looked around, he found that his life was gone and he could not even analyze his memory.

"I know he has a poison bag hidden in his mouth."

Chen Mu let go of the murderer and looked at Princess Chen. She had a pure appearance and a somewhat thin figure, but her eyes were filled with a familiar feeling.

"Jiangnan?"

Chen Mu asked tentatively. Upon hearing this, Princess Chen's face changed drastically and she exclaimed: "Are you the boss?"

"Stop talking and get out of here first."
