Liu Sisi clearly hadn’t expected that her ordinary action would cause Nan Tianzong to think deeply.
She was holding a knife, quickly peeling the fruit.
She casually answered with her mouth full, “It’s just peeling fruit, what’s so difficult about it? By the way, didn’t you say you wanted to analyze the situation for me? Hurry up and tell me!”
Nan Tianzong pulled his thoughts together and said indifferently, “I think it must be related to the current situation in the world, and to the bandits on Heilong Mountain.”
“How so?” Liu Sisi raised an eyebrow!
“The origin of those bandits on Black Dragon Mountain dates back thirty years ago. Back then, the former Crown Prince…”
Nan Tianzong continued to recount the past to Liu Sisi.
Liu Sisi impatiently interrupted him, “I’ve heard this story from others already. So what? What does this have to do with me?”
Nan Tianzong was silent for a moment, then continued in a low voice, “Time is like a butcher’s knife! The current Emperor, who had originally ascended the throne, is now old and fragile. Although he has many descendants, infighting continues. Especially two years ago, after the Crown Prince had ascended to the Emperor’s position, the position of the Crown Prince remained vacant, causing the princes to fight bitterly amongst themselves. At this moment, gathering strength from all sides to strengthen their own forces has become the top priority for each prince. Naturally, the forces on Heilong Mountain have come under the attention of those interested.”
Liu Sisi frowned, “I’m not interested in what you’re saying. What I want to know is something directly related to my own interests.”
“The power of Heilong Mountain is growing stronger and stronger, and it is like a surprise troop. Whichever prince manages to take control of it will become even more powerful, with twice the results for half the effort. But the forces of Heilong Mountain have always been like an iron barrel, impervious to outsiders trying to penetrate and learn its secrets. Just at this time, someone who was originally on the death list of Heilong Mountain left Heilong Mountain alive, naturally attracting the attention of various parties… ”
“Hss!”
Liu Sisi took a deep breath!
She finally understood the key point. So that’s what it was all about!
“So, in everyone’s eyes, I have become bait to lure out the big fish of Heilong Mountain? That’s why the Gan Family made their move?”
Liu Sisi gritted her teeth.
“No! No, no, no! You’re wrong!”
Nan Tianzong gently waved a finger, “It’s more than just the Gan family who have made their move! Think carefully, who around you has been acting strangely lately?”
Has there been anything unusual?
Liu Sisi stopped the action of digging out the pineapple eyes and fell into deep thought.
There had been no abnormalities among the fellow villagers who came to deliver YingEr’s engagement gifts a few days ago, but Madam Gan Senior, Heir Luo, Prefecture Princess Luo Thirteenth, County Magistrate Su, and… Zuo Xingyu, should not have appeared on the guest list!
Liu Sisi secretly smacked her lips, then looked up, “You mean the two—Heir Luo and Prefecture Princess Luo?”
Nan Tianzong nodded and shook his head, “Actually, I don’t know either. But, I did hear Madam Gan Senior mention something, so I thought I’d remind you. These people hope to find someone through you. So, you won’t be in danger for the time being. However, once you are in danger, it will be fatal! Remember! Remember!”
Liu Sisi put down the pineapple in her hand, looked up at him, her eyes particularly deep.
“Brother Nan, what about you? Are you one of them? ”
On the day of YingEr’s engagement, Nan Tianzong had also been there, and he knew the inside story. If anyone was most likely, it should be him, right?
“If it were me, do you think I would be so stupid as to tell you about it? Think about it yourself!”
