The Next Of Phoenix
Chapter 55. The Capital Forest

"According to the information, they often exchanged letters on the edge of the Capital forest. Please turn this on if anything happens outside of plan." Xiao Xiangqing handed a small fireworks display to Xiao Mingyui.

On this cold night, they did not rest as usual. Just now Gu Lingchi came and relayed a report that there was a suspicious smell between the Southeast Huan Kingdom and Fang Jichang. Most likely the location to exchange their news was the edge of the Capital Forest, as Xiao Wangfu's militant office was adjacent to the location. Gu Lingchi claimed to often see pigeons passing letters.

Some time ago Xiao Xiangqing had caught a spy of the Fang family, there might still be a few more that had yet to be revealed. Therefore, in order for the movements of those who tried to act tonight to steal Fang Jichang's letter and the Southeast Huan Kingdom, they devised a plan.

If Fang Jichang's spies really existed, it was likely that the ones they noticed were Xiao Xiangqing and Xiao Mingyui. The reason this evening Xiao Mingyui who intervened directly was not Xiao Xiangqing, because if the man disappeared for no apparent reason from Xiao Wangfu and was known to Fang Jichang's spies, it was not that the man had disappeared, they will definitely be suspicious and immediately write an emergency letter to report. If that were to happen, it was likely that their plan would fail.

Now, Xiao Xiangqing, Xiao Mingyui, Bingbing, and Gu Lingchi gathered together in Xiao Mingyui's room. Later on, Xiao Xiangqing would move and behave as usual. He was about to come out as if he had been chatting as usual with Xiao Mingyui.

Gu Lingchi's arrival here was a secret, the man entered not from Xiao Wangfu's front gate, but through a secret entrance that only the four of them knew. Thus, Gu Lingchi would disguise himself as Xiao Mingyui and remain silent in Xiao Mingyui's room until the woman returned.

As for Bingbing, she was just like Xiao Xiangqing. Bingbing would behave as usual, standing guard at the door of Xiao Mingyui's room.

This plan was Xiao Mingyui's own request, the woman wanted to snatch their secret letter with her hands straight away.

"I understand." Xiao Mingyui took the small firecracker, then kept it in his pocket. On his waist was now a long sword that he was ready to use if any attackers came. Xiao Mingyui wore a full battle outfit.

Xiao Mingyui walked towards the window of her room, her cold eyes looking up to see the moonlight. The moon tonight looks so bright.

Bingbing advanced toward Xiao Mingyui, then gave the white-colored mask towards Xiao Mingyui.

Xiao Mingyui took the mask without turning her head, then put it on quickly and prepared to jump.

**SPLASH**!

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Mingyui shot out at high speed. Xiao Xiangqing and the others began to carry out the plan they had previously agreed to.

Xiao Mingyui darted quickly, the woman stopped on top of a large tree behind Xiao Wangfu. His eyes watched Xiao Wangfu's building which looked majestic yet silent. As his eyes were busy watching Xiao Wangfu, Xiao Mingyui accidentally caught the figure of a man in black clothes standing on the roof of the Xiao Xiangqing residence.

Xiao Mingyui squinted his eyes, staring coldly at the man. His right hand pulled the dagger he had hidden under his sleeves, then he darted back quickly towards the figure of the man in black.

Xiao Mingyui successfully landed on the roof of the Xiao Xiangqing residence, she stood right behind the man in black.

Xiao Mingyui walked slowly closer to the very man, so close, he placed both palms on the man's head, then whispered, "Who sent you?"

The black-clothed man gasped in shock, he was about to rebel, but Xiao Mingyui's power grew even more to press his head.

"I asked. Whom. Yang. Sending you?" Xiao Mingyui repeated his question.

The man continued to rebel, unwilling to answer. Xiao Mingyui's eyes were millions of times colder as his hands flanking the man's head turned to the side.

THE TRACK!

"Aghhhh!!!"

Xiao Mingyui broke the man's neck without blinking, then nimbly played his dagger and tore the black-clothed man's neck at the point that caused the entire blood to spurt out profusely.

Seeing the man fall down sitting on the roof, while wiping his blood-stained dagger, Xiao Mingyui kicked the man's body down. "And I have asked him well" he murmured, then put his dagger back in his sleeve under his clothes.

Xiao Mingyui dashed back quickly, this time he headed straight for the edge of the Capital Forest.

Xiao Mingyui landed under a shady tree, the atmosphere of the forest was dark, it was fortunate that there was moonlight that made the vision at least not completely dark. Xiao Mingyui could still see her scanty light radar like this.

The dove spoken of by Gu Lingchi began to look, Xiao Mingyui increasingly watched the surroundings. The bird landed on a tree trunk that had a bird cage, then the scroll in the bird was placed on top of the cage. When it was finished, the bird flew back and disappeared.

Xiao Mingyui squinted her eyes at the scroll, then she darted back towards the birdcage. Xiao Mingyui stared coldly at the scroll, then picked it up and stored it into a pocket.

Before long, the sounds of two to three people walking closer towards him sounded. Xiao Mingyui frowned, trying to find a safe hiding place. If he was hiding in a tree, the chances of being caught were huge, because the moonlight was very bright.

Suddenly a hand pulled him, Xiao Mingyui who was unprepared for the pull was carried away. When he saw the figure that pulled him, he saw a man in all black clothes pulling his hand towards the lake located not so far from the big tree.

The man invited Xiao Mingyui to drown to hide. Xiao Mingyui was astonished, yet what the man was doing was right. Xiao Mingyui's right hand tried to pull the man's black face-covering cloth. When the cloth managed to descend, Xiao Mingyui was stunned. The man is ... Fang Laowang's?

The two of them were hiding in the water together, yet ...who was the man hiding from?

Fang Laowang placed his finger over his lips, gesturing for Xiao Mingyui to not move much, as it would later cause a suspicious movement above the water surface.

Xiao Mingyui was finally silent, the woman then calmed down and held her breath in the water.

"In mama's letter? Why isn't there?!"

"Maybe they're late to send it, sir."

"Then the signal?"

"It's most likely a bird that accidentally hits a signal we've made. Southeast Huan's side couldn't possibly not send a reply."

Xiao Mingyui listened to the conversation above, it was Fang Jichang and his subordinates. Then his eyes looked back at Fang Laowang, he wondered why he was hiding with him?

Fang Laowang should now know that Xiao Wangfu and Fang Fu were hostile, why didn't the man appear to the surface and divulge his existence? Why did he even go into hiding like ... deliberately want to help him?

As Fang Jichang and his subordinates were no longer there, Fang Laowang and Xiao Mingyui quickly swam to the surface. Xiao Mingyui quickly took out the letter, he was worried that the paper would be destroyed and the ink could not be seen.

Xiao Mingyui breathed a sigh of relief that the paper had not been torn and the ink contents could still be read. Quickly, Xiao Mingyui read it, the woman tried to recall the contents of the letter in her head then made this already soaked letter.

After finishing reading and recording it in the brain, Xiao Mingyui again realized that right now beside him was Fang Laowang who was also soaking wet like him.

"Why?" xiao Mingyui asked, his eyes returning as cold as ever. This time he took some distance from Fang Laowang.

Fang Laowang frowned. "Why ... about what?"

Xiao Mingyui frowned in surprise. "Aren't you supposed to know about Xiao Wangfu and Fang Fu's bad relationship? Why are you helping me?"

Fang Laowang smiled faintly, then replied, "What kind of answer does your majesty want to hear?"

Xiao Mingyui clenched both of his hands, is this a trap? Was Fang Laowang playing around with her?
