Chapter 151: Tricking Hong Antong and diverting trouble
Qin Fan was immediately delighted when he saw Hong Antong was still here.

With this guy here, there is a lot of room for maneuver.

“Is that so?”

Hong Antong didn’t doubt what Qin Fan said.

“Alas, you do have some tricks, but this trip of mine is not going smoothly!”

Hong Antong’s face was full of worry, and then he started to talk about his situation these days.

It turned out that after he arrived at the Prince of Zhennan’s Palace, he told Wu Sangui about his plan.

But the guy neither agreed nor refused.

He just found various ways to keep him in the palace and treated him to good food and drink.

Hong Antong had never enjoyed these things before, and for a moment, he was reluctant to leave.

If he had not seen Qin Fan coming today, he might have long forgotten his duties as the leader of the Shenlong Sect.

Hearing this, Qin Fan couldn’t help but want to complain.

It is true that like leader, like followers.

Those people on Shenlong Island have really never seen the world. Even their leader could be tempted by Wu Sangui’s tricks. No wonder those people of Shenlong Sect easily joined his sect.

“Master, I think Wu Sangui wants to harm you!”

Qin Fan calmed himself down and started to fool people.

“What are you saying? He’s been very nice to me these days!”

“Master, think about it, he kept you but didn’t give you a definite answer. This is obviously a way for us to delay time. What is he waiting for?”

Hearing this, Hong Antong was slightly stunned.

“He is waiting for the officials from the imperial court to come down. He wants to hand you over to the Ming Dynasty in exchange for his merits!”

When Qin Fan said this, Hong Antong broke out in a cold sweat.

“He actually thought this way? But he clearly didn’t refuse to cooperate with us before…”

“But he didn’t agree, did he? He just wanted to keep you stable and then hand you over to the Ming Dynasty!”

When Hong Antong heard this, he became furious.

“This Wu Sangui is such a sinister villain!”

“Master, calm down. This is his place after all! We still need to plan this matter carefully!”

Qin Fan hurriedly stopped Hong Antong and continued his analysis.

“This time, I have become an imperial envoy of the Ming Dynasty. For the sake of face, I can temporarily help the leader conceal his identity!”

“But since Wu Sangui has done so much harm to you, Master, we can’t just let him go!”

“You’re right. I’ve already explored every corner of the palace these days! If it doesn’t work, I’ll find a chance to kill Wu Sangui!”

Hong Antong spoke viciously.

“Absolutely not!” Qin Fan hurriedly stopped Hong Antong.

“Master, don’t forget, our plan is to get Wu Sangui to cooperate in the rebellion!”

“Now that he is unwilling, let’s force him to rebel!”

When Hong Antong heard this, he immediately became interested.

“What good plan does Envoy Qinglong have?”

“Did you know who Wu Sangui cares about during your stay in the palace?”

“He has a son whom he treasures like a treasure. His name is Wu Yingxiong!” Hong Antong said after careful consideration.

“Well, I know this person. He is the man that Princess Yunluo is going to marry! He can be used as a target. If he dies at the hands of someone from the Ming Dynasty…”

Qin Fan said this and looked up at Hong Antong.

Hong Antong understood instantly.

“Well, I understand. I will find an opportunity to kill him tonight!”

Hong Antong said this viciously, but suddenly his face changed and he continued.

“Oh, right, he also has a concubine who is very favored by him. No outsiders are allowed to enter the place where the concubine lives. I have only sneaked in secretly! This person must also be someone that Wu Sangui cherishes!”

“That young lady is so beautiful that she is the most beautiful woman in the world…”

Speaking of women, Hong Antong seemed to instantly perk up and talk nonstop. “Master, what is the woman’s last name?”

“How would I know that? I just know that she looks like…”

“Where is she from?”

“How should I know that? I just know that she looks like…”

“So where is her home?”

“How should I know that? I just know that she looks like…”

Qin Fan was completely speechless. This old guy was obviously not doing well, so why was he still so interested in women?

The key point is that he knows nothing about anything, which makes Qin Fan a little hesitant.

He also didn’t know whether the woman was someone Wu Sangui valued. If so, he could do something about it.

“I will investigate this person again. If there is a chance, I will capture her. By then, Wu Sangui will be resentful and will have to fight to the death with the Ming Dynasty!”

Hong Antong nodded.

Qin Fan knew that Zhu Wushi would probably take action as well, but it was difficult for him to control Zhu Wushi.

In that case, he would take the initiative to find a helper for Zhu Wusi.

Regardless of whether he can catch the person over there, at least Hong Antong has taken action against Wu Yingxiong, and this dirty water can be thrown on Zhu Wusi.

Even if Zhu Wusi finds out Hong Antong’s identity, he can still use Zhu Wusi to get rid of Hong Antong.

Furthermore, if Hong Antong really succeeded, Wu Sangui would surely rebel, and Yunluo would also be able to be liberated.

Kill four birds with one stone, why not do it?
After separating from Hong Antong, Qin Fan followed Hong Antong’s instructions and came to the deep courtyard of the palace that outsiders could not enter.

The palace covers a vast area and is built against the mountain.

The place that Hong Antong was talking about was on a small hill.

However, the road up the mountain is heavily guarded, making it difficult for outsiders to enter.

However, this could not stop Qin Fan.

He used the secret of “Xing” to change his body shape and appeared on the hill in the blink of an eye.

There is a bamboo forest on the top of the mountain, and deep in the forest, there is a bamboo house.

Above the gate, there is a plaque hanging with three big characters “Jieyuan Temple” inscribed on it.

Although the foot of the mountain is heavily guarded, the top of the mountain seems to be open.

Only from the distant Jieyuan Temple came the sound of wooden fish.

Qin Fan walked in slowly.

The bamboo house is not big, with a Buddhist hall and bedrooms on both sides.

In the center of the Buddhist hall, a woman was sitting upright.

The woman was wearing a green gauze shirt, with her back to the door, and her long black hair draped behind her.

Although it is just a back view, her graceful figure can still be seen.

“Put down the food and go!”

The woman spoke softly without turning around, just twirling the Buddhist beads in her hand.

“Ma’am, you are polite!”

Qin Fan spoke, and immediately woke the woman up.

She turned around, her face filled with horror.

“Who are you? Why are you here?”

“I am Qin Fan from the Huashan Sect. I am here in the name of the Emperor to marry Wu Yingxiong, the son of the Prince of Zhennan!”

Qin Fan bowed and it was only then that he saw the woman’s appearance clearly.

Just as Hong Antong said, this woman was indeed extremely beautiful.

No wonder Hong Antong spoke so highly of her. Even someone like Qin Fan, who was used to seeing beautiful women, felt a little excited when he saw this person.

This woman’s appearance could at least rank among the top three among the people Qin Fan had seen.

Such a beautiful woman is trapped here. Wu Sangui is really a coward!
