"That man is Yang Qiong Yan, a half years ago a small city in the east is infected by plague because of flood, hundreds of people die in three days, people who are infected are coming to the capital city for help, hundreds of them, the emperor fear they would spread the disease inside the city so they are not allowed to enter the city and stopped at the front of the city gate by the soldiers," said Bei Li Yan while pour the wine for Zhao Li Xin.
"Its understandable decision but it's infuriated the people who coming for help, they begin to start a riot in front of the gate because of them no one can't get in or get out of the city, so people were lockdown inside the city for a weeks and this ruined the trade inside the city, without supply from the outside they can't fill their stock and the price eventually rise"
"The emperor didn't kill them?" Zhao Li Xin sips his wine.
"Killing his own people when they are in need is a bad move but I heard he almost make that decision but than Marquis Yang coming and save the day" Bei Li Yan open his arms exaggeratedly.
Zhao Li Xin frown "He didn't look like a capable man"
"He's not…" Bei Li Yan tilted his head "Its Lao Min Na, she help him to solve the problem, secretly of course" he smiles deviously "Didn't we wonder how someone like her could thrive in the Liu Yan Kingdom or how could she connected with the illusive misty lake, sure she has the ability but she need the opportunity and someone to paved her way"
"That man is Yang Qiong Yan" Zhao Li Xin rests his cheek on his fist in a lazy manner.
"Indeed" Bei Li Yan's eyes lit up excitedly "With Yang Qiong Yan help is not that hard to poison The prince and come dramatically save the prince and make the emperor owed her" he sneered.
"And Misty lake?" Zhao Li Xin asked in a low voice.
"Yang Qiong Yan Aunty is from the misty lake and she's quite fond of him," said Bei Li Yan.
"Is everyone know the yang Qiong yang connection with the Misty lake?" Zhao Li Xin tapped his winecup.
"No, Misty lake didn't let their identity got out easily if the Emperor knew Yang Qiong didn't need to relieve the plague to get his tittle" Bei Li Yan stroked his cheek.
"So how Lao Min Na know?" Zhao Li Xin put down the winecup on the table calmly.
Bei Li Yan silent, he didn't know how to answer that.
Zhao Li Xin leans his back he clasped his palm on his knee "She knew about my identity, Yang Qiong identity, she even knew how and where to trap Li Mo Zhen, the question is how? How could she always knew who's to find and where to find them? At first, I thought its all just coincident but now...I think she knew more then we thought but again…how?"
The room becomes quiet, Bei Li Yan begin to pondering his Lord is right how could someone who is locked inside her courtyard for half her adolescent life knew so much, where she got all that knowledge and that skill….where she gets them she transforms from pitiful and weak maiden and become this powerful, cunning and devious figures.
Bei Li Yan awaked from his daze when someone gently knocked on the door and said with a soft voice "Master, they had entered the room" she said from outside.
"Bring it in," Bei Li Yan said.
Beautiful women with modest hanfu enter the room, she brings an object cover with black cloth. She bows courteously at Bei Li Yan and Zhao Li Xin, she put the object on the table carefully she remains to look down when she enters the room and after she finishes she leave the room not once she dare to look at Zhao Li Xin face even though she's curious how her Lord appearance but she was reminded strongly for not irked the high Lord who has temperamental nature.
Bei Li Yan took off the black cloth and a deep red amethyst crystal, Bei Li Yan insert his qi into the crystal than the crystal glowing with dimmed light suddenly they hear the sound from the crystal.
Inside the room, three men sit opposite each other, a few maid enter the room with tray filled with food and wine than one by one leave the room, what the do not know is the lampion crystal above them is planted by 'soul sound' crystal, no one realizes on the center of the lampion the red crystal on the size of an egg glowing in a dimmed light.
Soul sound crystal is a device with the same concept with bugging tools but it can't be used for a long distance, the device was created from a rare crystal, only a high-level armament master could create this such device, thankfully Wu san Bo and Zhao Li Xin is one of them.
