After fifteen years of cultivation, he finally reached the pinnacle of the first rank!

Chapter 193 The Woman
Upon hearing this, Wu Shang and his companion stopped and looked at Li Musheng with puzzled expressions, along with Hu Ruian and the others.

They naturally knew that the Eighth Prince in front of them had never been one to meddle in affairs, so his sudden willingness to "do work" caught everyone off guard.

Li Musheng sighed and said:

"You're moving way too slowly. At this rate, when will we ever reach Luoshen Peak?"

As he spoke, he looked up at a spot in the city, where flames had suddenly shot into the sky, illuminating the dark night in a fiery red glow.

Li Musheng raised his eyebrows and said:
"It seems that tonight is destined to be a sleepless night in this state capital. Since we have already helped you, let's take care of the Shengzhou matter while we're at it, so we can set off sooner to destroy Luoshen Peak and be done with it."

After all, if someone in my previous life dared to write a novel like this, it would be a miracle if the author didn't get a severe scolding from the readers!
Thinking to himself, Li Musheng looked down at the big black cat on the ground and called out:
"Meow, don't you think that makes sense?"

Upon hearing this, the big black cat lying on the ground raised its head, its pair of bright green eyes looking somewhat dazed.

At this moment, after hearing Li Musheng's words, Wu Shang and the others all showed joy on their faces.

Hu Ruian steadied himself and glanced at the large black cat on the ground.

Aside from the cat being a bit large and possibly having some connection with the old woman, he didn't notice anything else unusual about it from beginning to end.

Hu Ruian pondered for a moment, then ignored the big cat and said to Li Musheng:
"Your Highness, if we want to resolve the matter of Shengzhou as soon as possible, the most crucial obstacle is the Mei family. Perhaps... we should make a trip to the Mei family next?"

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng withdrew his gaze from the black cat and waved his hand, saying:
"Then let's do it your way, whatever's fastest we can do it?"

Having said that, he didn't say anything more and turned to walk out of the dungeon.

The big black cat lying at his feet meowed, then quickly got up and swaggered after him.

Hu Ruian and the others exchanged glances and then quickly followed.

Inside the narrow tunnel, Shen Anran was a step behind the big black cat, and could only follow closely behind, which made her frown slightly.
"This cat is huge; it's blocking the way behind Your Highness."

……

Soon, the group left the dungeon and then departed from the unguarded Tianjin Guard residence, taking a carriage towards the Mei residence.

Hu Ruian carried the blood-stained death list with him. If what the old woman said was true, then the Mei family and the Tianjin Guards of Shengzhou would undoubtedly be guilty of unforgivable crimes.

"Why did the cat get on the carriage too?"

Inside the carriage, Hu Ruian looked at the large black cat lying next to Li Musheng and asked with a suspicious expression.

Sitting next to Li Musheng, Shen Anran turned slightly to the side, tilting her head to look at the large cat, about the size of a mongrel and occupying the spot where Murong Xiaoya had previously been, on the other side of Li Musheng. A strange expression appeared on her beautiful face.
"Is this black cat also going to follow us all the way to Luoshen Peak?"

Li Musheng glanced at the two of them, then reached out and stroked the cat's head, saying:
“I think this cat is unusual. If it wants to follow, let it follow. Anyway, it will probably just eat more, so it shouldn’t cost much money.”

Upon hearing this, the big cat lying on the soft blanket purred twice and stretched out its paws in great comfort.

However, its bright green cat eyes glanced sideways at Hu Ruian and Shen Anran, as if it were annoyed that they were meddling in its business.

Hu Ruian and Shen Anran exchanged a glance, looking at each other in bewilderment. However, since Li Musheng had already said so, they couldn't say anything more.

And so, the wheels rolled swiftly along the silent, dark street, quickly disappearing from the Tianjin Guard residence into the distance. ...

Inside an inconspicuous house in the city of the prefecture.

A woman dressed in coarse linen clothes and with an extremely plump figure suddenly opened her eyes from the bed covered with cotton quilts and sat up.

Upon noticing this, the two men and one woman who were sitting at the table in the center of the room all turned their heads and looked at the woman on the bed.

"Big sister, how is it?"

A woman in her early twenties, dressed in a simple thorn dress, hurriedly stood up and asked.

The plump woman waved her hand, got out of bed, walked to the table, and sat down. She slowly glanced at the other two people and said:
"I have already explained the matter to that person."

The old man sitting at the table was dressed in coarse brown clothes, with gray hair and deep wrinkles on his forehead.

He leaned on a crooked wooden cane and nodded slightly, saying:

"It's good that things have been clarified. It was just a misunderstanding. It's best if we don't make enemies with a martial arts master like that."

At this moment, a thin, down-on-his-luck scholar sitting on the other side of the table spoke up and asked:
When will Momo be back?

The scholar wore a coarse linen shirt, his face was tanned dark, and he had two wispy, straw-like fake mustaches on his lips, making him appear dull and mediocre.

He had a tattered cloth bag tied around his waist with a straw rope. The bag was bulging inside, and it was unclear what it contained.
At this moment, a young woman in her early twenties, dressed in a coarse cloth skirt, returned to her stool and sat down. She then looked at the plump woman before her, her fair, jade-like fingers brushing against her hair, and said:
"My little sister loves to run around everywhere. If we don't keep an eye on her, we might not be able to find her anywhere."

Upon hearing this, the plump woman rubbed her temples, looking somewhat helpless, and said:
"My little sister seems to like that person quite a bit, and she's probably with him right now. But don't worry, her identity hasn't been revealed, and he probably doesn't know her true situation."

As she spoke, the woman suddenly raised her head and said:
"In addition, I also received a very important piece of information from them this time."

Upon hearing this, all three people at the table immediately turned their attention to her. The old man with the cane squinted and said:

"Could it be related to the transfer order from the Tianjin Guard of Shengzhou?"

The plump woman nodded and said:

“That’s right. Although I don’t understand where the Dali court gets its confidence from, they seem to be really determined to take action against Luoshen Peak this time. Even the princes of Dali have personally taken to the front lines.”

"Which prince of Dali has arrived?"

The down-on-his-luck scholar frowned and asked, while the plump woman shook her head and said:

"Actually, that person's true identity is a prince of the Great Li Dynasty? But I don't know exactly which prince."

"you sure?"

The old man frowned and said:
"I have never heard of any prince of Dali with such strength. It is rare in the world for someone so young to have such terrifying martial arts skills. If he is a prince of Dali, there is no reason why there is no rumor about him in the martial arts world."
