Long Huaiyu's words made Li Yinhu's eyes light up. He tentatively asked: "This prince is..."

Long Huaiyu smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness need not worry. When the time comes, I will naturally introduce you to that prince. However, for now, that prince does not wish to reveal himself."

Li Yinhu frowned slightly.

His clandestine actions always made him feel a little uneasy.

But right now, there are still many places where Long Huaiyu is needed. Li Yinhu had to temporarily suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart and put on a smile and said, "It's fine, no rush."

The two then discussed some details for a while, and then Long Huaiyu stood up and said, "Your Highness, I should take my leave."

Li Yinhu spoke, "A few days ago, I mentioned..."

Long Huaiyu's expression remained calm as he took out a stack of silver notes from his sleeve and placed them on the table. "Your Highness, here are twenty thousand taels of silver, with each note worth ten thousand taels. That makes twenty in total. Half of this money belongs to my master, and the other half comes from that prince. However, neither my master nor that prince is particularly wealthy..."

Li Yinhu smiled broadly and said, "I understand, understand. If it weren't for the fact that this king was truly strapped for cash, I wouldn't have come to this point. This money, this king will definitely repay double in the future."

Long Huaiyu said faintly, "As long as the major event is accomplished, this amount of money is nothing."

After saying that, Long Huaiyu bowed and took his leave.

Once the matter was settled and the money was in hand, Li Yinhu allowed Long Huaiyu to leave.

Sitting in the room, counting twenty silver notes, Long Huaiyu narrowed his eyes and said, "Xu Wei."

Xu Wei, who had been standing in the corner for an hour, rose to his feet and came before Long Huaiyu. He knelt on one knee and bowed, saying, "I am here."

You said, who do you think the prince that contacted Master Long Huaiyu was

Facing Li Yinhu's question, Xu Wei remained silent.

Knowing Xu Wei's naturally suspicious nature, he could be sure this was likely Li Yinhu's attempt to probe him. Standing in his position, one shouldn't consider these matters.

Although Xu Wei didn't give any answer, Li Yinhou seemed very satisfied and slowly said, "If I asked you to investigate, would you be able to find out"

This time, it's time to speak.

Xu Wei said solemnly, “Whatever the Prince commands, I will die without hesitation.”

With a hearty laugh, Li Yinhǔ said, "Alright, Your Majesty was just joking. You may go now."

"I hereby resign."

After bowing, Xu Wei lowered his head and rose, then backed out of the study.

After Xu Wei left, Li Yinhu remained in the study. He sat alone, sipping tea, as if waiting for someone.

After a whole half hour, a shadowy figure appeared in the study. It was the mysterious old man who had always been serving by Li Yinhǔ's side.

"Lost it." The old man said in a low voice, his expression somewhat indignant.

Li Yinhu's brows immediately drooped, he suppressed his anger, and although his tone was calm, it grew increasingly cold as he said: "When have you ever completed the tasks I assigned you!"

The old man's face was bitter, but he still explained: "Long Huaiyu is easy to follow, but there are also masters guarding him secretly. I'm afraid of being noticed by the other party, so after tracking for a distance, I gave up for safety's sake."

"That's a reason!"

Li Yinhu let out a cold snort and said with a sullen face, "You say Xu Wei has problems, but I sent you to investigate, and you didn't find any evidence. Now that I'm tracking Long Huaiyu and investigating the people behind him, you haven't accomplished anything either. Tell me, what use are you!"ntality."Su Jinpa's voice echoed through the main hall of Taishan Pavilion, pleasant and melodious.
