112: Chapter 112 Yang Xian'er

Meanwhile.

Wang Quan received a letter with a special mark.

After opening the envelope, he saw an address written on it.

His heart instantly tightened. He rubbed his hands together, and the envelope and letter paper turned into powder.

He could not afford to be careless, as this letter was sent by the former Imperial Dynasty's royal family.

Ever since the former Imperial Dynasty fell and the Great Yong Kingdom was established, the former royal family had never given up on restoration.

Over the centuries, they had organized hundreds of uprisings.

Yet, not a single one had succeeded, and instead, it had nearly led to the total annihilation of the former royal family.

The Great Yong Kingdom's attitude toward the former Imperial Dynasty was to kill the innocent rather than let a single one escape.

Once traces of the former royal family were discovered, a large army would be immediately dispatched to encircle and suppress them.

Consequently, under the Great Yong Kingdom's frantic suppression, only a few remnants of the former royal family remained.

Currently, there were only three important members of the former royal family.

The one in charge was Yang Tian, and the other two were Yang Tian's mother and his younger sister, Princess Yang Xianer.

Yang Tian had to stay at their base to preside over the big picture and would not leave easily.

Although Yang Tian's mother was a woman, she was a formidable character, but she was quite mysterious and seemed to have another identity; even as the son of the steward, Wang Quan had only seen her twice.

Therefore, the person who sent this letter must be Princess Yang Xianer.

Wang Quan did not understand why Princess Yang Xianer would come to Linjiang Prefecture.

After disguising himself, Wang Quan quietly left the Wealthy Gang and then made his way toward the address on the letter.

However, out of caution, after arriving at the address, he did not show himself directly but hid nearby to observe.

"Slap!"

A palm suddenly appeared on Wang Quan's shoulder.

Instantly, Wang Quan's body stiffened, and sweat broke out on his forehead. He turned his head stiffly and found a Grey-Robed Elder looking at him with a half-smile: "Little Wang, so many years have passed, yet you are still so timid!"

Facing the Grey-Robed Elder's teasing, Wang Quan breathed a sigh of relief: "Uncle Fu, you know I'm timid, yet you still scare me."

"Alright, Your Highness is still waiting for you, hurry and go in!"

The Grey-Robed Elder withdrew his hand and urged.

Soon, Wang Quan entered a three-courtyard residence and, in the garden pavilion in the backyard, saw a woman wearing a veil with an excellent figure.

He dared not let his gaze linger on her, so he lowered his head, stepped forward, and knelt on the ground: "This subordinate Wang Quan pays respects to Your Highness!"

"Rise!"

The woman's voice rang out, which was exceptionally pleasant to the ear.

However, Wang Quan did not dare to be the least bit careless and stood up respectfully.

"Sit down and speak!"

The woman spoke again.

"This subordinate dares not. If Your Highness has matters, please command!"

Wang Quan became even more cautious.

Among the three members of the former royal family, Yang Tian had a gentle personality, her mother was mysterious, and the one before him was not simple either; she had a group of men under her command who specialized in assassinations.

She had even personally attempted to assassinate the Lingzhou Governor multiple times; although she never succeeded, she was able to retreat unscathed every time.

One must know that the Lingzhou Governor was a Late-stage Refining Viscera expert, and the four bodyguards by his side were also of the Organ Refining Realm.

Besides that, the men under Princess Yang Xianer's command had also assassinated high-ranking imperial officials many times, almost rarely failing.

As for Princess Yang Xianer herself, she had already reached the Late Stage of the Marrow Refining Realm.

Yet she was only nineteen years old.

Therefore, a future Breakthrough to the Organ Refining Realm was a certainty, and a Breakthrough to the Blood Refining Realm was not impossible.

"Wang Quan!" Princess Yang Xianer spoke.

"This subordinate is here!"

Princess Yang Xianer continued: "You have done very well these past few years."

"Many thanks for Your Highness's praise, but these are all my duties."

Wang Quan did not dare to take credit and quickly said modestly.

Princess Yang Xianer continued: "I originally intended for you to unify the Gang forces in Linjiang Prefecture City within half a year, but now a Chen Hu has appeared. Do you think you can still complete the mission?"

"This?"

Wang Quan hesitated: "I dare not hide anything from Your Highness. Today, Chen Hu revealed cultivation at the Early-stage Bone-Refining Realm, and since he has also become the Gang Leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang, it will be very difficult for the Wealthy Gang to unify the Gangs of Linjiang Prefecture City!"

"You have been in Linjiang Prefecture for some time; what is your opinion of this Chen Hu?" Princess Yang Xianer asked again.

"It is hard to say, he is very mysterious!" Wang Quan said.

"If Chen Hu were gone, could you continue to complete the mission?" Princess Yang Xianer asked again.

Wang Quan bit the bullet and said: "If there were no Chen Hu, this subordinate could certainly complete the mission!"

But he grew anxious internally. Listening to Princess Yang Xianer's words, she would likely send someone to assassinate Chen Hu.

"No, I must find a way to notify Master…" Wang Quan thought to himself.

"Go back!"

Princess Yang Xianer waved her hand.

"This subordinate takes his leave!"

Wang Quan bowed, faced Princess Yang Xianer, slowly backed out of the pavilion, and only after retreating a certain distance did he carefully turn and leave.

Swish.

A figure flashed by.

The Grey-Robed Elder appeared.

"Does Your Highness intend to assassinate Chen Hu?" He asked.

Princess Yang Xianer shook her head: "Killing such a person directly would be too much of a pity. Find a way to make him serve me!"

"This youth's background is unknown; what if there is a problem with his identity?" The Grey-Robed Elder said with some concern.

"No matter, I have my own means to control him!"

Princess Yang Xianer smiled quite confidently.

On the other side.

When Chen Hu returned home, he found that his home, which was usually quite quiet, was actually quite lively.

Especially in the front courtyard's main hall, it was almost full of people.

Seeing Chen Hu return, these people stood up one after another.

"Gang Leader Chen, I am the steward of the Ning family. To congratulate Gang Leader Chen on advancing to the Marrow Refining Realm, I was ordered to deliver a gift. Here is the gift list!"

While speaking, the other party presented a gift list with both hands.

Chen Hu opened the booklet and found it written with five thousand taels of silver, two hundred taels of gold, a pair of hundred-year-old ginseng, a pair of two-hundred-year-old fleeceflower roots, ten bottles of qi and blood pill, and ten bottles of essence blood pill.

There were also ten pieces of High Grade mortal weapons and two top-tier mortal weapons.

Besides that, there were also some silk and satin, etc.

However, the value of the items on this gift list absolutely exceeded thirty thousand taels.

This Ning family was a family of the Outer City; although they could not compare to the Five Great Families of the Inner City, their family fortune was also quite substantial.

"I have done no merit, so I cannot accept the reward. Steward Ning, you should take it back!"

Chen Hu returned the gift list to the steward and said with a smile.

The things the Ning family sent seemed precious, but to Chen Hu, they seemed quite redundant.

Moreover, if he took the Ning family's things, and the Ning family came to him later to ask for favors, should he help or not?

"Gang Leader Chen, this is just a token of our Ning family's sincerity, there is absolutely nothing else. Please, Gang Leader Chen, feel free to accept it!"

Steward Ning immediately tried to persuade him.

"It is the same saying: I have done no merit, so I cannot accept the reward!"

Chen Hu waved his hand and then said to the others: "I am very happy that you all could come to bring gifts. I accept your intentions, but please take the items back!"

Because he discovered that among this group of gift-givers, besides the family merchants of the Outer City, there were also other second-rate Gangs.

If he accepted their gifts and then went to annex them, it would make him seem like someone who turns his back on people.

However, these people were unwilling to give up just like that.

But Chen Hu's attitude was firm, so they could only leave with their gifts.

After they left, Widow Wang and Liu Xianglan also appeared.

"Brother Hu, why are there so many people coming to bring gifts today?"

Chen Hu smiled: "Of course it is because your Brother Hu is formidable; these people are sending gifts because they want to build a relationship with me!"

Not long after.

The gate was knocked on again.

Chen Hu scanned with his Spiritual Sense and found that the person who arrived was Young Master Huang Shixuan.

Besides him and his bodyguards, there were also eight young and beautiful maidservants.
