While surprised that Su Xuan had come here, he also spoke Su Xuan's name, undoubtedly informing Zi Nu beside him who this person was.

"Mr. Wei Zhuang, long time no see!" Su Xuan greeted Wei Zhuang in a calm tone, appearing quite familiar.

Wei Zhuang's lips curled slightly, and he asked in a strange tone: "Why have you come here? Or should I say, how did you know I was here?"

"Although few people know that Mr. Wei Zhuang is hiding in Purple Orchid Pavilion, as long as one searches with heart, one can eventually find it." Su Xuan said lightly, but still did not explain why he knew Wei Zhuang was hiding here.

Wei Zhuang's brows lifted slightly, and he asked Su Xuan again: "Then I wonder, what is your business here?"

Not taking the front door, but taking the back door.

This in itself explained some things, meaning Su Xuan did not want people to know he had come to Purple Orchid Pavilion.

"If I say that I am already a wanted criminal of Han State and have come to Purple Orchid Pavilion wanting you to harbor me temporarily and give me a place to stay, would you believe it?" Su Xuan used a calm tone to say something extraordinary.

Wei Zhuang's expression immediately tightened.

Zi Nu was also somewhat shocked. After a long time, Zi Nu spoke: "Although this is the first time I have met Mr. Su, I have been fortunate enough to hear Mr. Su's name. Mr. Su is favored by the Han Wang and recently helped the Han Wang capture the Regarding Baiyue evil woman who broke into the palace. How could he become a wanted criminal of Han Guo?"

"Mr. Su's joke is a bit too big!"

"Miss Zi Nu knows quite a lot." Su Xuan spoke, causing Zi Nu's heart to tighten again. The other party actually knew her and spoke her name in one word, which meant the other party had probably been paying attention to Purple Orchid Pavilion for a long time.

"It's just that what I want to say is that Miss Zi Nu's news is outdated. Just today, not long ago, the Han Wang fell critically ill and is on the verge of death, and I have also officially become a wanted criminal of Han Guo."

"As expected, at this moment, Ji Wuye is searching everywhere for my whereabouts, wanting to arrest me and bring me to justice!"

The amount of information contained in these words was truly too great.

Zi Nu and Wei Zhuang couldn't help but look at each other, staring at each other in dismay. They spent a long time digesting the information contained in Su Xuan's words.

Finally, Zi Nu, the owner of Purple Orchid Pavilion, spoke: "Since Mr. Su has already become a wanted criminal, why don't you run for your life and run to my Purple Orchid Pavilion? We are law-abiding good citizens..."

"Just answer me one question: will you harbor me or not!" Su Xuan was very direct.

Zi Nu muttered to herself; she really didn't know how much Su Xuan knew.

But after this brief weighing, she had actually already made a decision.

"I can harbor you temporarily, but you must guarantee that you will not bring trouble to my Purple Orchid Pavilion!" Zi Nu said to Su Xuan.

Although she didn't know what exactly was going on with the Han Wang.

But judging from Ji Wuye's intention to arrest Su Xuan and Ji Wuye's past style of conduct, this matter was likely Ji Wuye's doing again.

This was not surprising.

Since Su Xuan appeared beside the Han Wang, Ji Wuye had been repeatedly frustrated.

Earlier, they had once had the idea of winning Su Xuan over, because judging from Su Xuan's dealing with Ji Wuye, their goals were the same.

It was just because they suffered from having no opportunity, so this matter was always just an idea.

Unexpectedly, before they could go find Su Xuan, Su Xuan had delivered himself to their door.

Under Zi Nu's arrangement, very soon, someone cleaned out two rooms in the small courtyard at the back of Orchid Pavilion.

Su Xuan and Yan Lingji moved in directly, without being polite.

After arranging Su Xuan's affairs, Zi Nu and Wei Zhuang came to another elegant room. This was where Quicksand usually discussed matters. Nong Yu served tea to the two. Zi Nu took the tea, drank a sip lightly, and looked at Wei Zhuang, asking: "Do you think what he said is true or false?"

"Whether it is true or false is not important." Wei Zhuang said in a deep voice: "What is important is that such a big thing has happened, and we will soon know the corresponding news."

"That's true!"

Zi Nu nodded. Then, what needs to be done next is to wait.

Wait for the rest of Quicksand's members to arrive here.

Very soon, someone hurried over here.

It was Zhang Liang.

"Something happened in the palace!"

As soon as he arrived here, Zhang Liang went straight to the point and told what he knew.

For example, in the morning, the King suddenly fainted, and afterwards, his physical condition continued to deteriorate, and it looked like he was not going to make it.

The Crown Prince and many young masters, as well as the Great General Ji Wuye and his grandfather Zhang Kaidi, had already entered the palace together. Afterwards, no one knew what happened to the Han Wang. That Mr. Su Xuan, who once designed the removal of Jade Tiger, was classified as Tian Ze's accomplice, an evil person who disrupts the nation, and had already become a wanted criminal. At the moment, the city defense army is searching for his whereabouts everywhere in the city.

"The Han Wang is about to die; this is truly a major event!"

After listening to Zhang Liang's account, Wei Zhuang couldn't help but sigh.

"It is indeed a major event!"

Zi Nu nodded in agreement: "And the timing of this matter is so clever. Last night, Tian Ze broke into the palace and abducted Princess Princess Honglian, and this morning, the Han Wang had an incident. Even I am somewhat curious whether that person is Tian Ze's accomplice!"

"Whether he is or not, why don't you go ask him yourself?" Wei Zhuang said.

"That makes sense!"

Zi Nu nodded in agreement.

Zhang Liang listened to Zi Nu and Wei Zhuang's back-and-forth and couldn't help but be stunned. He asked softly: "Mr. Wei Zhuang, Miss Zi Nu, what do you mean by this?"

"I won't hide it from Zifang. That Su Xuan you speak of came to Orchid Pavilion earlier, and at this moment, he is hiding in Orchid Pavilion!"

"What?!"

Zhang Liang was genuinely shocked. At this moment, he was not the 'Strategy Saint' with thousands of plans in his belly, but still a young boy. Although wise, he had not yet reached the state of 'not changing his expression even if Mount Taishan collapses before him.'

He never expected that after Su Xuan became a wanted criminal, he would actually run to Orchid Pavilion.

What exactly is he thinking? Or rather, what exactly does he know? ===== CHAPTER 105 =====
