Before leaving, Ao Cangsheng told Rong Xiaofeng to take the twenty Hu Ben soldiers directly to et Zhan Tianfu.
Before nightfall, Rong Xiaofeng brought 20 Hu Ben soldiers and arrived at Zantian Prefecture in ti.
At the ti, Ao Cangsheng had already inford Long Yinsui of his plan, intending to involve Long Yinsui in it.
Ao Kangsheng’s plan was simple: use the Second Prince’s hand to kill the Third Prince tonight.
In a previous refining ritual, the Third Prince Bai Qiuyu had already harbored resentnt against his father Bai Qiuyu and Bai Longyuan.
However, due to power issues, Baili Chunqiu dared not confront either.
At this mont, Ao Cangsheng’s task was to pour so oil on this yet unfinished burning pile, so he could ignite it entirely.
Ao Kangsheng believed that as long as Baili Longyuan or Baili Chunqiu threatened Baili Zhuanggong’s life, Baili Zhuanggong would ignore their identity and power and leap from the city wall to fight them.
After the arrival of the twenty Hu Ben soldiers and Rong Xiaofeng, they also brought news of the whereabouts of the Third Crown Prince Baili Chunqiu.
Since it was getting late, Ao Kangsheng carefully explained his plan to everyone.
Once everyone understood, Ao Cangsheng led them to the Imperial City.
The Cui Miao Tower was the ninth restaurant in the Imperial City. It was said that its backstage master was the "Third Prince" Baichuan Yuanqiu.
Before it was dark, the Cui Miao Tower lit its first lantern.
Even at night, the streets outside the Cui Miao Tower were crowded with pedestrians, and the building of the Cui Miao Tower was a masterpiece of human ingenuity.
The patrons visiting Cui Miao Tower were either wealthy or noble.
However, due to the refining ritual, the number of officials coming to Cui Miao Tower significantly decreased compared to before.
Particularly those in high positions had not visited the Cui Miao Tower since then.
This phenonon enraged Baichuan Yuanqiu. He knew that the high officials avoided Cui Miao due to fears of being deed too close to Baichuan Yuanqiu.
After the refining ritual, almost everyone knew that the Eldest Prince and the Third Prince had completely torn their faces apart.
Most importantly, His Majesty seed more favorable toward the Eldest Prince, as evidenced by publicly criticizing Baichuan Yuanqiu.
Tonight, Peng Jiang Da, the most loyal supporter of the Sichuan Do, would toast again.
Baili Chunqiu blushed, raised his hand, and picked up a cup just refilled by a maid, shouting at Peng Jiang Da.
Peng Jiang Da was shocked by what he heard.
Although the Sichuan Do had just ntioned the Duke, the civil and military officials, and today’s Emperor, it was in their own words.
But now, it’s nothing. Baili Chunqiu, with a cup full of wine, directly opened his mouth to shout.
If no one heard the insult to the Eldest Prince today, that would be enough.
But once found, not only would Baili Chunqiu be affected, but even Peng Jiang Da sitting next to him could be implicated.
Thinking of this, Peng Jiang Da felt regret. If he knew Baili Chunqiu would be like this, he wouldn’t have co to Cui Miao Tower.
"Your Highness, please calm down! You are correct. In terms of wisdom and talent, His Highness is not as good as you."
"But don’t be angry. Perhaps His Majesty was temporarily confused by His Highness. When the Eldest Prince wakes up, he will definitely support you!"
Peng Jiang Da whispered to Baili Chunqiu with the wine glass next to his ear.
He couldn’t let the half-drunk Sichuan Do babble nonsense here.
Although the Cui Miao Tower was his Sichuan restaurant, there were many kinds of people here.
The saying goes, the speaker is intentionally speaking, but the listener is intentionally hearing. Once Baili Chunqiu’s words are heard by those who want to listen, they would inform the Eldest Prince or even His Majesty today.
Afterward, not only the Sichuan Do would suffer, but Peng Jiang Da and Qing Yu Jiang Da would also suffer together.
At that ti, as the Third Crown Prince, Baili Chunqiu might not have any worries about living.
But Peng Jiang Da, after all, wasn’t part of the Royal Family. If the Eldest Prince took offense, he could lose his life in a word.
Hence, at this ti, Peng Jiang Da had to stop Baili Chunqiu’s mouth and try to escape.
The man before us is soone deeply involved in disputes. The place before us is also a place of dispute.
If he didn’t leave the place of right and wrong quickly, Peng Jiang Da felt that his head and the black hat on it would sooner or later co off.
While appeasing Baili Chunqiu, Peng Jiang Da reached out and grabbed the wine cup from Baili Chunqiu’s hand. He would grab it.
However, despite being half-drunk, he was skilled. With Peng Jiang Da’s strength, it wasn’t easy to snatch the glass from him.
So, after this try, Peng Jiang Da didn’t capture the cup and was pushed directly by Baili Chunqiu.
"Splash——"
With just a drop of water hitting the ground, the wine in Baili Chunqiu’s cup imdiately spilled onto the ground.
Seeing the wine spill from his hand, he couldn’t help getting angrier. He glared at Peng Jiang Da and angrily said, "Peng Jiang Da, the Eldest Prince and my father bully . How can you bully ?"
"Don’t you think I am not in good health now and want to deposit money in soone else’s account?"
As soon as these words were spoken, before Peng Jiang Da could respond, a sudden gust of wind blew outside the restaurant.
"Be careful, Your Highness. There is an assassin!"
Suddenly, the elder in grey who had been standing not far from Baili Chunqiu flashed and shouted loudly.
Before the voice fell, a sword light, like thunder and lightning, suddenly struck in from the window behind Baili Chunqiu.
The sword light was cold and fierce. As it appeared, the half-drunk Sichuan Do seed stung by a scorpion, suddenly jumping out of the chair.
The body of Baili Chunqiu jumped in the air, and seven or eight sword lanterns flickered, chopping the chair where he had just sat into dozens of pieces.
Startled by the sudden assassination, the Sichuan Do’s intoxication suddenly dissipated.
"Huff!——"
I saw a gray shadow. Before the sword light reappeared, there was a big hand, and then it thrust towards the window.
Under this resistance, the sword light suddenly flew away. Next, eight masked people in black suits appeared in the hall.
"Clang——"
Just when those eight people stood firm, the windows on both sides of the hall were broken open.
Then, twelve more masked n, divided into two groups, rushed in through the side windows.
Seeing those twenty black-clad people suddenly appear, Baili Chunqiu’s face turned blue.
The elder in gray beside Baili Chunqiu wasn’t afraid of these people attempting assassination in front of him.
However, the blatant assassination made the Sichuan Do very angry.
It’s unbelievable to think that in the Imperial City, besides his father, the Emperor, and the remaining two princes, who else would dare to assassinate him?
In this way, Baili Chunqiu could almost confirm that the people who ca to assassinate him this ti must have been sent by Baili.
Because there’s a festival between him and Baili
The second ti they t, the man in black raised his hand, revealing seven or eight palms.
Each palm shadow had the power to destroy everything, heading straight for the elder in gray clothes.
The elder in gray was startled by the fierce palm shadows. This was the first ti he had encountered such a powerful opponent in his tenure.
At that mont, the elder in gray didn’t have ti to ponder. His hands danced in the air, and nine palms were struck in an instant.
"Boom——"
More than ten palms danced in the air, then collided with each other, exploding instantly.
Suddenly, debris flew and waves rolled, but those within a five-foot radius were shaken back by this;moderate force.
"Show off,"
After the wild collision, both the elder in gray and the man in black spit blood simultaneously.
It was evident that in the frenzied fight just now, both had been injured by the opponent’s palm.
