"Looks like this young master is being placed under house arrest." Chengying thought. Just as he was about to leave, he noticed that the guards had returned. However, the things he had taken away previously were no longer there. He had probably sent them back already.

"Is the Li Family close to here?" Cheng Ying asked the waiter.

"Just past the first street." The waiter said.

After those people came and took a look, they directly came to his side. "Is this young master Cheng Ying?" the guard came over and asked him respectfully.

"You know me?" Cheng Ying said in surprise.

"I am a bodyguard of the Li Family. I am the one that Madman Li was talking about." and also came here under the orders of the Patriarch, to invite Young Master Cheng Ying over for a chat. " Lunatic Li said.

"Alright, let's go." Cheng Ying did not refuse. Since the Li family had already sent people to look for him, he did not need to spend any more effort to find an excuse to go to the Li family.

The waiter did not lie. The Li family was indeed very close. There were two bronze lions on both sides of the door, which were particularly dazzling. A large signboard was hung on the door of the Li Family, with the words Li Residence written in the words "Dragon and the Phoenix" written on it. It was extremely beautiful, and Cheng Ying could even see the seal of Nangong.

"This was personally written by the Prince for our Li Family that year." Madman Li was an intelligent person, so he explained when he saw Cheng Ying.

"So that's how it is." Cheng Ying saw Madman Li directly bringing him in, "Don't you need to inform me?" Chengying asked curiously.

"Previously, the Patriarch had said that as long as Master Cheng Ying is invited over, we can directly enter." Madman Li said, "The head of the family doesn't have any guests at the moment, he is just waiting for you."

"What if I'm already gone?" "How do you know you'll get me?"

"It's not for nothing to call a villain like you, Madman Li" After saying that, Madman Li stretched out his hand, "Please take, the Patriarch is inside. I can't go in. "

Cheng Ying immediately walked in. Just as he was about to step in, he heard a voice say, "Young master Cheng Ying, you have arrived. You have brought honor to my humble dwelling."

When Chengying went in, he saw that the owner of the voice was around 40 years old. His body was very robust and it seemed like Chengying's skill was quite good. His appearance was somewhat old-fashioned and gave off a rather serious feeling, but this Patriarch was currently grinning from ear to ear, making Cheng Ying look somewhat comical.

This person's clothes were fairly plain and basically didn't have any accessories. Although his clothes were made of good silk, it was obvious that he had washed them many times already. The furnishings in the room were very simple. There was a table and chairs in the middle, and then a few paintings and calligraphy paintings were hung on the wall. It looked very simple and elegant.

A few artificially trimmed ornaments were pasted near the window, which made the room even more lively.

"Patriarch is too courteous. Cheng Ying came to visit on behalf of the Prince. Please forgive me for not having prepared any gifts in such a hurry." Chengying recited the details of the observation room over and over again.

"My humble house is simple and crude. Young master must be ashamed." The Li family's Patriarch said, "Servants, serve tea."

Very quickly, the servant brought the tea over.

"Is there something wrong with young master Cheng Ying?" The Li family's Patriarch went straight to the point. "I heard that a few days ago, Jinling City suddenly changed hands. This matter shocked me quite a bit. How is the prince?"

"To tell you the truth, the prince is now in prison and is unable to protect himself, but the prince didn't want Jinling to fall into the hands of these bandits, so he risked his life to send me out. He wanted to inform the patriarch and seize Jinling while he still hasn't completely grasped the place." Cheng Ying said with sadness.

"That's only natural. It's only right that a criminal should be executed." The Li family's Patriarch said, "We will do our best to help the Prince obtain Jinling again. It's just that our Li family isn't strong enough!" The Li family's Patriarch said without missing a beat.

"Patriarch, you misunderstood, the Prince did not want you to help him, but to let you take over Jinling. After all, after the Prince said this, he did not have the face to be the Prince anymore. As long as you can see that Jinling is fine, the Prince will apologize with his death." "The more Chengying said, the more miserable he felt." "The Shangguan family already has a commercial city. Your highness is worried that the Shangguan family will have the most power, so I travelled a thousand miles to find the family head in hopes that he can help me." At the end, Chengying couldn't stop sobbing.

"How is the prince now?" The Li family's Patriarch asked him.

His Highness is still alive right now, but his life is very miserable, every day he is watched by those people, and there's nothing he can do. This time, I came out because His Highness had planned for me to be injured, which allowed me to escape. The more Cheng Ying thought about it, the more he felt that it wasn't safe.

"If the Prince were to die, Cheng Ying would definitely not live on alone." Cheng Ying pulled out his sword and was about to cut his neck when the Li family's patriarch stopped him. "You still don't know what happened to the prince. Moreover, how do you accomplish the task the prince gave you when you're dead?" The Li family's Patriarch advised him.

"Then I will wait until this matter is completed before I go and accompany Your Highness." After Cheng Ying finished speaking, he directly said to the Li family's Patriarch, "I've already brought the prince's message to the Li family's Patriarch, what the Patriarch intends to do is the Patriarch's matter. Now Cheng Ying wants to find a helper, no matter what, we have to bring the prince's corpse out and let him rest in peace." After Chengying finished speaking, he prepared to leave.

"Mister Cheng Ying, please wait a moment." The Li family's patriarch once again stopped him, "We are naturally going to Jinling, but we are not familiar with that place. Cheng Ying, if you can bring us there, the chances of success will be very high. Moreover, if nothing happens to the prince, we will help you save the prince, and Jin'ling will still be his son. However, you must first rest for a while, and then let me prepare some people. In three days, you can leave together. " After he finished speaking, the Li family's Patriarch didn't wait for Cheng Ying to agree before saying, "Let Young Master Cheng Ying go take a rest."

Chengying followed the man to the backyard to rest.

At night, Chengying went out for a walk as long as he had nothing to do. Not long after, he saw a person standing by the lake in a daze. Then, he walked over. When that person saw him coming over, he was stunned for a moment before saying, "Li Lin greets Young Master Cheng Ying."

"Li Lin?" The Li Family's Eldest Young Master? " Chengying didn't expect to see this young master here.

"Young Master Chengying, why aren't you resting at night?" Li Lin asked him.

"Worried, how can I have the mood to rest?" Cheng Ying said, "I believe that you already know about what happened during the day. Cheng Ying is truly ashamed of himself." Chengying was already in the spotlight.

"Young master, you don't have to worry. Maybe the prince has a way to protect himself. Right now, the most important thing for us is to help His Highness get rid of those people's control as soon as possible." Li Lin said.

"Young Master Li, may I ask why Young Master Li is not resting?" Cheng Ying said, "Could it be because of the marriage?" Cheng Ying asked him. I've heard about this in the tavern before. It's just a rumor, so I naturally can't take it seriously. "

"Indeed, it cannot be taken seriously." Li Lin said absentmindedly, "Young Master Cheng Ying, you should rest well. I still have work to do tomorrow, so I won't disturb you any longer." After saying this, Li Lin left.
