A tall and thin man in black walked out of the darkness. He had sharp features and sharp eyes. He seemed ordinary but gave people an inexplicable oppression.
"Sir, you are finally here!"
Lin Yu's eyes lit up and he hurriedly greeted him.
"Why are you here?"
The man frowned slightly and asked in a cold voice, "Didn't I tell you not to come here until the matter is done? If it is exposed, your ten lives will not be enough!"
"Sir, you can't blame me for this..."
"Huh?"
When Lin Yu heard this, he immediately cried and fell to his knees on the ground, wailing, "I was tricked by you this time... Didn't you say that you can definitely keep Xu Jinyu in the Jingyang Mountains this time? Now he will check it out as soon as he comes back.
When it hit me, if I hadn't run fast enough, I would have been caught by them."
"What?!"
The man in black looked shocked and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure he's back?"
"I'm sure he's still alive!"
Although Lin Yu had a sad face, he was very determined.
Only he and Butler Chen know about Xu Jinyu's trip to the Jingyang Mountains. Now that his home has been surrounded by people from Prince Heng's Mansion, what else could be the reason other than Xu Jinyu's return and exposure...
Their assassination plan failed!
Thinking of this, the man in black frowned and his expression became serious.
"My lord!"
"My lord!"
Lin Yu's face was full of sorrow and he begged for help. "I have no choice now, so I can only come to seek refuge with you... I hope you can help us for the sake of your hard work."
"..."
Listening to the noisy voice beside his ears, the upset man in black only felt the noise.
He squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Yu, who was complaining again and again, with a murderous intent flashing through his gloomy eyes: He would be worthless if his identity was exposed and he left Prince Heng's Mansion.
"Where are your other subordinates? Were they all killed by people from Prince Heng's Mansion?" he asked casually.
"No, no, I still have brothers hiding outside... There are more than thirty of us now, but we are all counting on you, sir."
Lin Yu said with a smile.
Hearing this, the murderous intent in the eyes of the man in black disappeared.
Lin Yu is temporarily unable to move.
They are all human beings. Some things don’t need to be said explicitly, but he already knows what the other person means.
"..."
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Lin Yu took the initiative to lower his posture and said with a sorry smile, "I don't ask for much, I just want to give my brothers a way to survive."
"You stay here honestly for now."
"This house is very safe and no one will find it. As for your question, I will go back and ask for instructions."
"Then I'll bother you, sir. My brothers and I will wait for your good news." Lin Yu looked happy and finally took a breath. He knew that his life was temporarily saved.
Faced with the only way to survive, he didn't want to collapse the conversation.
But if he wants to kill them all, he can only kill them all.
The brothers outside were just chips, but he simply won the bet.
Although the man in black is angry and threatened by a villain, he really can't touch Lin Yu now. Although this guy doesn't have much access to information, it will still be troublesome once he is exposed.
……
……
Mingdu, the inner city of the imperial palace.
In the southeast corner, there is a magnificent palace, which is the residence of the princes of the Sun and Moon Empire.
At this moment, it is evening, and the sky is filled with red clouds.
Inside the palace, the lights are brightly lit.
The owner of the palace was dressed in white clothes and looked about twenty-seven or eight years old. His clothes were very simple, his eyes were bright, and although his appearance was not too handsome, he had the majesty necessary for a man of power. He was dark.
The skin reveals a healthy glow.
At this moment, I am sitting in front of my desk, studying some book.
The decoration inside the palace is magnificent, but yet simple and simple. Most of the furnishings in the room have patterns of eight-clawed fire dragons, highlighting the extraordinary status of the owner of the palace.
At this time, an old man with a stooped figure suddenly appeared quietly in the room.
Although he is wearing ordinary attendant clothes and has a haggard figure, his slightly cloudy eyes reveal a soul-stirring fierceness.
Hearing the sound, the young man in white put down his book and raised his eyes to look at the person coming.
"Your Highness."
The old man approached, bowed and said respectfully.
The young man in white nodded slightly and said calmly, "What's the matter?"
"The operation in Jingyang Mountains failed."
The old man came to the young man, bowed his head and saluted, and said in a respectful tone: "The people below have sent news that the assassination failed, and Xu Jinyu has now returned to Prince Heng's Mansion."
"Failed?" The young man in white raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.
"Yes, Your Highness."
The old man nodded and explained, "The people we sent out are still searching in the Jingyang Mountains. This is the news that just came from the internal agents buried in Prince Heng's Mansion."
"Haha, it seems that my cousin is not simple either..."
The young man in white murmured in a low voice.
He deliberately arranged five soul emperors and three soul saints, while Xu Jinyu only had two soul saints and one soul emperor.
Such a lineup failed to keep him in Jingyang Mountains?
Thinking of this, the young man's eyes gradually darkened, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a hint of playfulness, making it unclear what he was thinking...
The old man stood aside, silent, waiting for his instructions.
After a long time, the young man in white finally said slowly: "How is my cousin doing now?"
"This is still unclear. The spy also came here in a hurry."
After a pause, the old man asked, "Your Highness, what should we do now? Do we need to send more people over to continue assassinating Xu Jinyu?"
"No need."
The young man in white shook his head slightly and said softly, "If the assassination fails, Xu Jinyu will definitely take more precautions. It is impossible to find such an opportunity again. If we continue to send people to assassinate, it will easily expose our identity."
The old man also nodded in agreement.
"And..."
A coldness flashed across the eyes of the young man in white, "Those involved in this operation, please remember to keep them secret."
Hearing this, the old man nodded slightly.
"My subordinates understand."
"By the way~ Remember to get some fake news to guide the third child,"
The young man in white clothes closed his eyes slightly, as if he thought of something, slightly raised his lips, and whispered: "I remember that there seems to be a grudge between them. This is just a good way to test how many connections Prince Heng's family has in the court.
”
"My subordinates understand."
The old man nodded, then asked, "Your Highness, what should we do with the insider in Prince Heng's Mansion? According to the secret guard, that guy has some information about us, and there will be some trouble if he is released."
"Oh, that's interesting~"
The corners of the young man's lips raised slightly, and there was a bit of interest in his eyes. "Then let's keep it for now. Maybe it will come in handy one day in the future."
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, the old man immediately accepted the order and retreated without any delay.
