My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 96 - 84 Song Jiaren and Li Anning’s First Meeting_2

"I didn't sleep all night, I'm going back to sleep, brother-in-law goodbye, Jiaren goodbye..." He quickly said a sentence and then swiftly made himself scarce.

Song Jiaren's gaze was fixed forward as she seemingly asked unintentionally, "Miss Shen is..."

Li Nuo took the initiative to explain, "Last time Song Yu mentioned that he wanted to pursue a girl, and he had me polish up a love poem for him..."

Song Jiaren was curious about what kind of poem it was that could make a reputable young lady willing to become a concubine without having met the poet.

She looked at Li Nuo and asked, "Can I see that poem?"

Li Nuo looked at her. She couldn't even recognize all the characters, how could she understand poetry?

He thought she had misunderstood something and explained again, "I wrote that poem for Song Yu, I really don't know that Miss Shen, and when she said that phrase, she was surely just joking around, you know, I don't know any other girls here in Chang'an..."

Before Li Nuo could finish, he suddenly heard the rapid sound of horse hooves.

He reflexively turned his head, wondering who was so bold as to gallop on the streets of Chang'an?

Under the Daxia Law, this was a very serious crime, galloping through the streets of Chang'an without reason started with a three-year prison term at least, and the maximum penalty was death.

A fine horse galloped up and stopped in front of the Song Residence, and an imposing female knight reached towards Li Nuo's shoulder hurriedly saying, "I've finally found you, no time to explain, just come with me..."

Before she could touch Li Nuo's shoulder, her wrist was caught in midair.

Li Anning paused, looked at the delicate-looking woman next to Li Nuo but whose stature couldn't compare to hers and asked, "Who is this..."

"My wife."

Li Nuo quickly explained, then turned to Li Anning and asked, "Is there something you need?"

Li Anning shifted her gaze from Song Jiaren to Li Nuo, and said indifferently, "Last night, an incident occurred at the Four Directions Hall involving several Martial Artists of the High Realm, you're about to Breakthrough, aren't you? I'm taking you to investigate the case, maybe you'll be able to advance if we can find something, are you coming..."

After saying this, she rode off on her own.

Never had Li Nuo expected such a stroke of fortune, that Princess Her Highness would think of him first, he immediately got on a carriage and instructed Housekeeper Wu to follow her.

It was only halfway through the journey that he realized he had left in such a hurry that he forgot to say goodbye to his wife.

After all, it involved Martial Artists of the High Realm, this case, if solved, might give him a hope of advancement.

Moreover, up to now, he had no idea how much adjudicating High Realm Martial Artists might increase his lifespan.

Outside the Song Residence.

Watching the carriage disappear at the end of the street, Song Jiaren withdrew her gaze, turned around, and walked into the Song Residence, subconsciously looking down at her chest...

...

The Four Directions Hall was one of the court offices responsible for receiving and accommodating envoys from other countries.

It can be regarded as an embassy area and managed by Honglu Si.

The carriage stopped in front of the Four Directions Hall, where Li Nuo got off, Li Anning was already waiting.

Two rows of armored soldiers stood on either side at the entrance of the Four Directions Hall.

Li Nuo thought to himself that it really was an embassy area, with security far stricter than even the Ministry of Personnel.

And no wonder, the residents here were all envoys from other countries; should anything happen to them within Daxia, it could easily lead to diplomatic disputes and might severely affect relations between countries.

"Follow me."

Li Anning spoke to a commanding-looking man at the gate and then led Li Nuo into the grand gates of the Four Directions Hall.

When Housekeeper Wu tried to follow them in, he was stopped by a raised hand from the other side, "The Four Directions Hall is under martial law, no unauthorized persons allowed inside!"

Li Anning looked towards Housekeeper Wu and spoke, "The situation today is special, it's not good to bring too many people inside, please wait here."

Housekeeper Wu glanced at the commanding officer then bowed to Li Anning, "The safety of my young master, please take care, Your Highness."

Li Anning nodded, "Don't worry, he came with me, I naturally won't let him get hurt."

Following Li Anning into the Four Directions Hall, Li Nuo discovered that not only was the exterior heavily guarded, but many armored soldiers also stood watch over various corridors inside, the atmosphere was one of solemn gravity.

Li Nuo looked at Li Anning and asked, "What exactly happened here?"

Li Anning replied, "This morning, an envoy from Chu Country was found dead on his bed in his room, and the officers from the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice haven't found any leads yet, I brought you here to take a look..."

Li Nuo knew that with the Princess's character of keeping all the good for herself and not even sharing the broth, how could she think of him in a beneficial situation?

We are both Law Practitioners, don't we know each other?

It turns out that she couldn't handle it herself and had no choice but to ask him to step in.

Chu Country is an even more powerful superpower than Daxia; an envoy's death in Daxia could be a significant or minor matter.

If the relations between the two countries were amicable, even if the murderer could not be caught, Chu Country might not pursue the matter deeply and would simply appoint another envoy.

But if the relations were strained, in the worst-case scenario, Chu Country could even use this as a pretext to declare war on Daxia.

Inside the Four Directions Hall, there were various independent courtyards, each one an embassy of a different country.

Though this place was within Daxia, without the permission of the host of an embassy, even Daxia's officials could not enter at will.

Soon, the two reached a grand hall.

Li Nuo and Li Anning entered the grand hall to find it crowded with many people.

This place was the Four Directions Hall's council hall, used also for banquets on normal days; after the incident, the court had summoned all involved parties here.
