Martial Arts Crossover: Starting as a member of the Imperial Guard, all the ladies are demons

"he...."

The crown prince gasped, thinking about what he had done over the years and the impact this would have on him if it came to light.

He felt his whole body trembling.

"I don't want to...I don't want to...You can't check, you can't check."

Suddenly, his previously panicked expression turned icy with resentment as he looked at Yue Banshan: "Uncle, since he insists on investigating, why don't we just go all the way and see what happens..."

The crown prince made a throat-slitting gesture.

It was clear that he was intent on killing, and he was also truly desperate.

Otherwise, His Majesty would never have ordered the assassination of a court official at this time.

Upon hearing his words, Yue Banshan hesitated.

But the Crown Prince was determined and said firmly, "Uncle, the only way is to kill him. Otherwise, if those things are exposed, not only you, but the Yue family will also be implicated."

"this...."

Upon hearing the Crown Prince's words, Yue Banshan hesitated for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth and firmly agreed: "Okay, that's fine."

"However, it would be best if the people who make the move used the name of Prince Yu."

"Prince Yu?"

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes! Yes! Let them take the token from Prince Yu's residence, and leave it at the scene regardless of whether it succeeds or not."

"Prince Yu will surely be suspected by Fu Huang!"

Thinking of this, the Crown Prince became increasingly excited about the suppression of Prince Yu by his father, the Emperor.

The two discussed for a while before Yue Banshan finally came out of the East Palace.

He didn't stop until he left the palace. He looked towards the East Palace and shook his head. "Nephew, don't blame your uncle. If it weren't for your mother and your other brothers and sisters, Lian'er would have been killed."

"I...I'm afraid I won't do that."

"You are not in the same league as His Highness Prince Yi."

Yue Banshan, Agent No. 187 of the Dark Night Special Agents, is a second-generation collateral descendant of the Yue family.

Years ago, he fell in love with a dancer and wanted to redeem her.

However, he was disliked by the current Yue family, who believed that marrying a dancer was beneath his dignity, so they secretly executed her. Later, they learned that she was pregnant with his child. Fortunately, the child was taken and raised by the people of Dark Night, and is still in Dark Night's hands.

Later, Xiao Jingyi had someone from the Dark Night contact him and inform Yue Banshan about the matter.

In return for avenging him, they used his son as a hostage to allow him to infiltrate the Yue family. Over the years, he has managed to establish himself through his own abilities.

This time, Shen Zhui's investigation was actually ordered by Xiao Jingyi, with the aim of making the Crown Prince anxious.

The appearance of Yue Banshan was not only to inform the Crown Prince, but also to give him a sense of urgency.

Because only when someone gets anxious will they make a mistake.

0 ········Requesting flowers··· ········

For example, the Crown Prince's attempt to kill Shen Zhui was orchestrated step by step by him.

This is the function of those in the shadows. Few of them know martial arts, but their true skill lies in manipulating people's hearts, inducing them, and framing them.

Withdrawing his gaze, Yue Banshan's face darkened, and he lowered his head slightly before walking towards the crowd.

Before long, they disappeared into the crowd.

Prince Yi's Mansion.

"My lord, Agent No. 187 of the Xuan Division has sent word that the Crown Prince is getting restless and wants to send someone to assassinate Lord Shen."

Yongye knelt on one knee, holding the latest intelligence that had been sent back, and handed it to Xiao Jingyi.

"This contains information about the number of assassinations, the locations, and some of the methods used. Please take a look at the information about the assassins."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi raised his eyes but did not accept it.

"You can just report this yourself. We'll report everything together once we have the results."

Xiao Jingyi said calmly.

This is also a way for him to delegate authority.

In the past, he would review every detail of what happened in the dark, just to ensure that nothing went wrong.

But things are different now. He has more things to do, and there will be even more in the future.

Therefore, he often simply instructed his subordinates to do things.

As for how to do it or what the process is like, he won't worry about it; he just needs to wait quietly for the result.

0.

Hearing this, Yongye was stunned for a moment.

Xiao Jingyi then added, "From now on, it will always be the same."

At this moment, Yongye realized that Xiao Jingyi was relinquishing power to him.

He immediately clasped his hands in excitement and said, "Your subordinate will certainly not disappoint you, my lord!"

"Of course you won't disappoint me, because you are my most capable assistant."

"My lord."

Upon hearing this, Yongye was deeply moved.

Xiao Jingyi's approval speaks louder than a thousand words.

However, he quickly composed himself and said, "Then, my lord, his son."

"After it's all over, father and son will be reunited, and isn't his son already 100% a member of Dark Night?"

"Understood."

After discussing some more matters, Yongye left the study.

Xiao Jingyi pondered for a moment, then said calmly, "Jiang Huan, you heard what I just said, didn't you?"

Just then, a figure appeared from behind the screen behind Xiao Jingyi.

"Your Highness, I have heard it."

Jiang Huan came before Xiao Jingyi and bowed in response.

"In that case, we should have someone secretly protect Shen Zhui to prevent any accidents, and at the same time inform Qin Banruo about this matter; she knows what to do."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huan immediately understood.

This is because His Highness ordered Prince Yu to capture the Crown Prince and his associates.

Once Prince Yu has this leverage, he will surely report it to Emperor Liang. It concerns court officials, and he will be assassinated by the Crown Prince.

At that time, Emperor Liang will surely take it seriously.

By then, Emperor Liang will know why the Crown Prince killed Shen Zhui and will also pay attention to the Ministry of Revenue's accounts.

He was puzzled and asked, "Your Highness, if you want to use the accounts to bring down the Crown Prince, you could simply have Lord Shen investigate. Why go through all this trouble?"

Upon hearing his question, Xiao Jingyi glanced at it and then continued with his work.

However, the sound still came through.

"His Majesty is old now and lacks the courage he had in his youth. He cannot be as ruthless as he was when he ordered the death of Prince Qi."

"So if Shen Zhui is allowed to investigate, not only will the Crown Prince intervene, but His Majesty will personally intervene before that happens to prevent him from investigating further and protect his child."

"Therefore, rather than having His Majesty intervene to stop Shen Zhui's investigation and downplay the matter, it would be better to have the Crown Prince make a big fuss first, so that His Majesty understands the seriousness of the situation."

"Based on these accounts, even if the Crown Prince survives, the position will no longer be his."

Xiao Jingyi's voice rang out softly.

Upon hearing his words, Jiang Huan suddenly understood and immediately bowed in admiration, saying, "Your Highness is wise and mighty; I admire you greatly."

"Alright, go and get on with your business."

"Yes."

059 Xiao Jingyi: This old guy can't take a joke, so he's seriously ill? (Bonus chapter for 200 first-time subscribers)

Xiao Jingyi did not look up until Jiang Huan left.

Because he is currently studying a group of court officials, deciding which ones should be killed and which ones should not.

And how to kill them.

That night.

Shen Zhui's carriage traveled along the road, the surroundings eerily quiet.

In the darkness, a dozen assassins dressed in black were slowly approaching his carriage.

Suddenly, one of the leaders shouted.

"kill!"

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"...

A dozen or so assassins filed out and headed toward his carriage.

"Pfft!"

The groom was slashed with a single blow and died instantly.

One of the assassins even rushed into the carriage, but the scene before him made his expression change drastically: "Oh no, no one's here!"

"Get out!"

Since there was no one in the carriage, the assassin immediately realized that his group's whereabouts had been exposed, and tried to lead everyone away.

Just then, a series of rapid footsteps sounded, and thousands of soldiers surrounded them.

They were all dressed in the clothes of the Prince Yu's residence.

Just as they were in shock, another group of soldiers came up to them, and they were wearing the uniforms of the patrol battalion.

At this moment, three people on horseback slowly appeared. They were none other than Prince Yu, Gao Shun, and Shen Zhui.

"Haha, how about it, Lord Shen? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Someone will definitely try to assassinate you tonight!

At this moment, Prince Yu was in high spirits, pointing at the assassins and looking intently at Shen Zhui, "507".

It turned out that Xiao Jingyi had Jiang Huan pass the message to Qin Banruo, who immediately knew what to do and then told Prince Yu about it.

When Prince Yu received this news, he was initially skeptical.

With Qin Banruo's assurance, he decided to trust her.

However, he also had his own ulterior motives before taking action.

That means taking Gao Shun with you and informing Shen Zhui at the same time.

His idea was simple: in the capital city, someone dared to assassinate a high-ranking official in the street. Regardless of whether the attempt succeeded or failed, Gao Shun, as the commander of the patrol battalion, would surely be punished.

He called Gao Shun along to do him a favor, and of course, it would be even better if Gao Shun could join him.

As for Shen Zhui, there's no need to say anything. I saved him, how could he not be grateful?

So when Prince Yu saw the assassin actually appear, he was so happy that the smile on his face almost overflowed from the novel.

Hearing Prince Yu's words, Shen Zhui was speechless, but he could only play along and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, thank you for saving my life."

"It's alright, it's alright. You are an official appointed by the imperial court, so I will naturally not let anything happen to you."

Prince Yu spoke in a deliberately profound tone.

But he felt unusually depressed.

Do you worship me?

Quickly submit to me, Your Majesty!

Hahaha!

"Your Highness, we are very grateful for your help today. However, these assassins dared to commit violence in the middle of the night. Why don't you hand them over to me?"
