This was not the first time they came to the Western Han Dynasty, but this time Shangguan Yu and his wife wanted to go shopping.
Since their identities could not be revealed and they did not want to cause trouble, the couple naturally had to disguise themselves.
"Shangguan, do you feel that something is wrong when you come here this time?" Bai Ling asked in a low voice as the two walked among the crowd.
"The Ninth Prince traveled around the world when he was young. On his wedding this time, in addition to officials coming to congratulate him or asking people to give gifts, many people from the world also came to congratulate him." He held Bai Ling tightly.
hand, Shangguan Yu explained.
There were too many people on the street, and Shangguan Yu was afraid that if he was not careful, Bai Ling would be dispersed by the crowd.
Although I know Bai Ling has someone to rely on, there are always eventualities in this world.
Bai Ling nodded, indicating that he understood, and didn't ask any more questions.
The couple simply came to take a walk on the street and experience the life of ordinary people, with no clear purpose.
"It's him!" Bai Ling suddenly pulled Shangguan Yu to a small stall selling mirrors, and handed Shangguan Yu a mirror with the right angle to shine on the person behind him, "Didn't I take you to find that secret room before?
But there is no trace of the man in black robe? This man has appeared there before, and he is a man of some status."
"Are you sure?" Shangguan Yu frowned, not because he doubted Bai Ling.
But it is a matter of great importance and must be confirmed.
"It's unmistakable. When this man was knocked to the ground by the man in black, his mask fell off for a moment. There was a black mole as big as a soybean between his eyebrows and a scar on the tip of his nose." Bai Ling affirmed.
"Follow me." Shangguan Yu casually threw a piece of silver, took Bai Ling's hand and walked in the direction of the man with a mirror.
There were many people on the street, and Shangguan Yu was good at tracking, so he followed him to the entrance of the alley near Prince Guo without letting the other party notice.
In a sparsely populated place, Bai Ling took Shangguan Yu into the space and followed the man at close range.
I saw that this person was holding a token from Guojun Prince's Mansion and entered the Prince's Mansion without any notification. This shows how familiar he is with the Prince's Mansion.
Prince Guo is not the kind of person who is motivated, but he is ambitious. In other words, he wants to ascend to the throne, but cannot do it through his own abilities, so he cooperates with the man in black robe and wants to go astray.
People who don't care about the safety of the country naturally have no humanity at all.
However, he is no different from the current emperor of the Western Han Dynasty.
In the secret affairs of the county prince's palace, there are actually a few poisonous people. Guo's biggest hobby is to torture these poisonous people.
The original poisonous man had offended Prince Guo and ended up like this.
"Bitch! Didn't you refuse to be my concubine? Now that you have become a poisonous person to me, your husband's family has also been burned down by this prince. They will hate you even if they are ghosts! Hahaha
! If you dare to offend this county king, you will not die well!"
Prince Guo took a bright red iron and burned it on a poisonous woman.
The smell of burning flesh permeated the dungeon, but the poisonous woman didn't react at all. She just looked at the fiery red color and didn't dare to take a step forward.
The other poisonous people also stood silently, no one was afraid of this color.
After the man with the black mole entered the dungeon, he covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief in disgust, and said to Prince Guo in a bad tone: "Master has given an order to kill Princess Beichen at the wedding of the Ninth Prince."
"Aren't you guys good at martial arts? Why do you need me to take action?" Prince Guo snorted coldly, obviously looking down on the other party's status.
"Does Prince Guo want to disobey the master's order?" The man with the black mole asked coldly.
"Don't keep oppressing me as your master all day long! When I ascend the throne as emperor, you will no longer be a dog in front of me!" Prince Guo suddenly turned around and pointed the iron at the man with the black mole.
Every time he comes to the dungeon, Prince Guo's character will change drastically, becoming vicious and terrifying.
Perhaps, this is his true face, he usually suppresses his nature.
"Wait until you can become the emperor!" The man with the black mole looked at King Guo disdainfully, his eyes swept over the poisonous man behind him, his eyes full of ridicule, "You can stay here with these useless games, but it's too late
Master’s business, maybe you will be the next poisonous person!”
Knowing Prince Guo's temperament, the man with the black mole left after conveying the order, unwilling to stay in this disgusting place for a moment.
People like them have been in dark rooms and prisons for too long, so they shouldn't have any reaction.
But King Guo's approach was different from that of ordinary people. He liked to make the dungeon look like a place where animals lived to vent his hatred.
If it were an ordinary person with status, he would never set foot there.
And people with a slightly normal brain would never do this.
After all, those poisonous people are no longer conscious, and they cannot feel how they are tortured.
Bai Ling and Shangguan Yu listened to their entire conversation, and their eyes looked solemn.
They don't care what the King Guo's arrangements are, they just need to take more precautions when the time comes.
But what the man with the black mole came to convey was probably just a cover, and there might be someone else who actually assassinated Princess Ning Xin.
even……
Someone will assassinate the Ninth Prince!
"Follow me." Shangguan Yu said in a low voice.
Bai Ling nodded lightly and followed the man with the black mole effortlessly.
What was disappointing was that the man with the black mole had a well-established identity in the Western Han Dynasty, so he just went to an ordinary grocery store. There was only one dull clerk in the store, and the business was tepid.
If an ordinary person opened such a shop, at most the whole family could use it, which would be better than not making a living, but it would not make a fortune.
Bai Ling searched for a while, but couldn't find anything unusual about this shop. The man with the black mole went into the backyard to order some goods, then ate something and went to sleep.
If Bai Ling and his wife hadn't confirmed that there was something wrong with him, they would have thought that he was just an ordinary little boss.
"Go back, I will arrange for someone to keep an eye on this place." When late at night, the man with the black mole did not see any movement, Shangguan Yu said to Bai Ling.
"There's no rush. We're just going to rest in space anyway. Why don't we take turns watching him. If he doesn't make any move before dawn, it won't be too late for someone to come and watch him." Bai Ling shook his head and said.
Due to the time difference in space, the two of them would take turns looking at the man with the black mole, so they wouldn't be tired, and they wouldn't be delayed in doing what they had to do, which was good for everyone.
But the man with the black mole slept honestly that night and did not behave in any strange way.
After dawn, Shangguan Yu immediately sent someone to deliver gifts to the Ninth Prince, and used the secret code they had agreed upon to let the Ninth Prince meet in private.
Someone is going to take action on the wedding day. For such a big thing, it is natural that the parties concerned should be informed.
Bai Ling and Shangguan Yu will not stand idly by, but if the Ninth Prince is prepared, everything will be safe.
"How many days will it take for Xiao Ning to arrive in the capital, do you want to go and meet her?" Bai Ling asked after Shangguan Yu had a secret talk with the Ninth Prince.
"No, no matter how many preparations that person made, they should have arranged it on the wedding day. Although you and Princess Ning Xin are old acquaintances and don't want to see anything happen to her, if the Ninth Prince is in his own territory, he will
People can still succeed despite being on guard, so there is no need for such allies to join forces again."
Shangguan Yu rejected Bai Ling's proposal.
"What you said makes sense, so I'll listen to you." After Bai Ling hesitated for a moment, he agreed with Shangguan Yu's point of view.
Although this is a bit risky, it is indeed a time to test the Ninth Prince's ability.
Furthermore, the benefits and disadvantages of the marriage between the two countries are equal. Princess Ning Xin should advance and retreat together with the Ninth Prince. They can help once, but they will not be able to help forever. (To be continued)
