Chapter 116: Red-dressed female bandit enters Suzhou City

Zhang Han was just about to take the man back to report, but when he took a closer look, a look of panic appeared on his face.

"Your Highness, the ship is sinking, please leave quickly!"

Li Chengping frowned.

Looking back carefully, I found that the hull was gradually tilting, the deck had become sloped, and the sea water could be vaguely seen flooding over the stern.

"Abandon ship!"

He leaped forward and landed steadily on the opposite deck.

Several Iron Eagle Swordsmen jumped back onto the ship and quickly packed up the precious things in the cabin.

When they returned to the rear cabin and wanted to take Yun Che away, they found that the iron cage had been opened and the person was gone!
"Oh no! Go and report to His Highness!"

Several people looked at each other and left in a hurry.

at this time.

On the pirates' boat.

Li Chengping was sitting in the cabin, and the woman in red was standing there tied up, looking unruly.

"How dare you kneel down when you see His Highness!"

Zhang Han shouted loudly.

He kicked the woman in the knee, causing her to lose balance and fall to the ground with a thud.

The black veil covering her face accidentally fell off, revealing a delicate face. The only flaw was a hideous scar on her cheek.

Just then, the Iron Eagle Swordsmen hurried in.

“Your Highness, it’s bad. Yun Che was rescued by the pirates coming from behind!”

"Don't worry, he can't run away."

Li Chengping smiled faintly.

Waving his hand to let the Iron Eagle Swordsman retreat, he stood up and walked to the woman in red.

"Tell me, who are you? Why are you robbing my ship?"

The woman in red smiled coldly with disdain on her lips.

"Who do you think you are? You're just pretending to be a prince! There has been no prince coming to Jiangnan recently. Do you really think I know nothing?"

"Bold..."

Zhang Han's face darkened, and he stepped forward to teach the woman in red a lesson, but was stopped by Li Chengping.

"Okay, there's nothing for you to do here, so get out first."

After Zhang Han left, Li Chengping looked at the woman in red again: "From your tone, it seems that you know everything about what's going on in the capital. You're not simple!"

The woman in red raised her head with a smug look on her face.

"Humph! Why don't you go out and ask around? My name is Guan Wumei, and I'm a well-known figure in Jiangnan Water Village!"

"You killed so many of our brothers, the village chief will definitely not let you go!"

Guan Meimei?
Jiangnan Water Fort!

Li Chengping silently memorized these two key words in his mind.

Then he tried to ask some other questions, such as the location of the water fort, the number of bandits and so on.

It’s a pity that Guan Wumei kept her mouth shut and didn’t say anything except some useless news.

"Someone, take her away and keep her under good care. Don't abuse her!"

Li Chengping waved his hand.

After Guan Wumei was taken away, he got up and went to the deck. Although the bloodstains had been almost cleaned up, he could still smell the faint smell of rust.

Li Chengping didn't care. He looked at the Suzhou Port not far ahead with great interest in his eyes.

"I was just thinking of taking a detour to Jiangnan to punish the prisoners, but I didn't expect to get such an unexpected reward. This return trip was so interesting!"

The ship enters the port.

Li Chengping and others did not take the official channel, but chose to travel with the merchants going out to sea, paying the fees honestly to enter Suzhou City.

In order to prevent Guan Wumei from being discovered, he had her stuffed into a large box and had the Iron Eagle Swordsmen carry it into the city.

This person is able to know the situation in the capital, so his identity must be very unusual!
Riding on his horse, Li Chengping looked at the bustling streets on both sides, feeling deeply moved. He had thought that the market in Dongyi City was already very hot, but now it seemed that the market in Suzhou City was no less hot.

Due to limited tools on the boat, it was impossible to make a fire and cook.

The first thing Li Chengping did after entering the city was to take his people to a restaurant for a big meal.

When the restaurant owner learned that he wanted to rent the place for a long time, he took the opportunity to introduce an empty courtyard of his own to him.

Li Chengping asked Zhang Han to take people to take a look. The yard was quite spacious and there was no problem, so he paid the money and moved in.

By the way, I also paid a little more money and asked the shopkeeper to take care of three meals a day.

"Please rest assured, sir. I will take care of this matter!"

After the shopkeeper left, Li Chengping was about to send someone out to get some information, but unexpectedly Zhang Han walked in with a wealthy businessman in gorgeous clothes.

As soon as he entered the door, the man knelt on the ground.

"Luowang's killer-level member, Du Ming, pays respect to His Highness!"

As he spoke, he pulled a letter out of his sleeve and held it above his head.

Li Chengping stretched out his hand, and the sword energy surged in his palm, directly sucking the envelope over.

The moment he took it, he suddenly felt that the envelope was very thick, even thicker than the intelligence he had received in Dongyi City.

"It seems that this Jiangnan is much more interesting than I thought!"

Li Chengping raised the corner of his mouth slightly and opened the envelope.

After seeing the situation inside, his expression gradually became solemn.

"Three major workshops, light industry, Ming family...it seems that Jiangnan is more interesting than I thought!"

Muttering something, Li Chengping continued reading.

Soon, he found what he wanted.

"Jiangnan Water Village, the bandit leader Xia Qifei... I see, this guy is really capable, no wonder he's so arrogant!"

For a while.

The whole room was silent, with only the sound of Li Chengping flipping through letters from time to time.

It took him about a cup of tea to finish reading all the information.

Looking at Du Ming who was still kneeling on the ground, Li Chengping raised his hand.

"Get up, you did a great job on this matter. It looks like you have quite a lot of wealth in Suzhou City!"

Du Ming was so frightened that he knelt down again after just standing up.

"Your Highness, I am just running a small business in Suzhou City. I pay tribute every month, which is definitely more than enough..."

Looking at Du Ming's pale face, Li Chengping was very satisfied. He walked forward and personally helped him up, patting his shoulder.

"Don't worry, I'm just asking casually. You can arrange for Luowang's people to tell Xia Qifei that Guan Wumei is in my hands."

"Your Highness, please rest assured. I will definitely pass on the news."

"Okay, be careful and don't reveal your identity."

Du Ming raised his head with gratitude in his eyes.

As a member of Luowang, he hadn't heard this sentence for a long time.

For them, the mission comes first, and they must complete the task even at the cost of their lives.

"I am willing to sacrifice my life for your Highness and swear my loyalty till death!"

Looking at Du Ming's back, Li Chengping was confused. Why did this guy suddenly show his loyalty to him?

……

at the same time.

On an island in the middle of a lake.

This was the headquarters of Jiangnan Water Stronghold. The bandit leader Xia Qifei was sitting on the throne, looking at the unconscious Yun Che with a frown on his face.

"I asked you to rob, and you only robbed one person, and he's a man. Do you have any brains?!"
