Chapter 813: Chapter 813: Long San Takes Action

"Nan Feng? You’re sure you didn’t see it wrong?"

"At first, I thought I had made a mistake, but..." Butler Long secretly handed a piece of paper to Long San: "I’ve already stolen it, please confirm it yourself, gang leader."

Long San spread out his cloak, then turned his back to unfold the paper he held, and instantly, a lovely figure appeared before him.

Who else could it be but Nan Feng?

Long San frowned slightly, "Check the origins of these two men."

"Yes!"

Ahead, the two men finally realized that Nan Feng’s portrait had disappeared, and they immediately became vigilant.

While searching for the portrait, they also scrutinized the people on the boat, trying to spot any suspicious characters among them.

However, the boat was filled with women and children, or ordinary-dressed commoners. If there was anyone who stood out, it was Long San, sitting beside the stern, but such a slender young man obviously didn’t have the capability for such a deed.

Then, one of them pointed at the river’s surface: "Look, over here."

The other also went over to look, and just happened to see a portrait floating on the water. The small face on the portrait was still faintly recognizable—it was the lady whom the Dowager Empress had commanded them to assassinate.

"It must’ve been the wind," said one of them.

"That’s it, then, let it be, you still have another one anyway."

The boat continued moving forward, while Nan Feng’s portrait floated away into the distance.

...

"Gang leader, are we going back to the county or...?" Butler Yan asked.

It was almost dark now, and a transfer to another boat would be enough to go back to the county, but Long San evidently didn’t want to change boats, and after some thought, said, "Let’s return to the mansion in the Provincial City, it’s been a while since I stayed there and also to wait for the news of those two men."

"Rest assured, gang leader, I’ve already ordered the Hall Master here to investigate; I believe we’ll have an answer soon."

"Hmm," Long San, who had been sitting on the boat for a long time and felt somewhat tired, then coughed once before saying, "Let’s go."

The two returned to the mansion in the Provincial City. Old Huang, who was in charge of guarding the mansion, was somewhat surprised to see Long San and Butler Yan: "Gang leader, it’s been a long time since you’ve last visited. I’ll go and tidy up your room right now."

After finishing his words, he suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, gang leader, a lady came looking for you today."

"Oh? Who is it?" Long San asked, while taking off his cloak and handing it to Butler Yan.

Old Huang racked his brain for a while, but ultimately couldn’t recall, and could only apologize: "Third Master, my memory is not what it used to be, I’m getting forgetful in my old age."

Butler Yan, on the other hand, joked on the side: "It must be some of the ladies who admire the gang leader. Just the other day, one even followed us to Ping County."

Long San just smiled faintly.

It wasn’t until evening that the Hall Master who had gone to investigate came to report to Butler Yan: "Butler Yan, we’ve found out about the origins of those two men, they are..."

At this point, the Hall Master whispered into Butler Yan’s ear, obviously the identities of those two were very mysterious.

"What is their intention for coming to the Provincial City?" Butler Yan asked.

"Don’t you know, Butler Yan? The Emperor is on his Southern Tour recently, and they have been following behind, perhaps..." The Hall Master trailed off, not finishing his sentence.

"Perhaps what? Spit it all out, don’t beat around the bush. If you keep this up, the gang leader might get impatient with you," Butler Yan said with a laugh.

"They are probably here to assassinate the lady in the portrait."

"But she is a friend of Lord Long San, and she should be in the north at this moment, shouldn’t she?"

The Hall Master was also unsure of the reason.

"Keep investigating!" Butler Yan ordered.

"Yes!"
