Chapter 506: Chapter 470: Two Foxes (Combined Chapter)_2
Wu Jingyi glared at the two, thinking how he always seed to encounter foxes. In the Imperial Court there was the old geezer Yang Chenghua, and now carrying out his duties, he had encountered two youngsters.
He had intercepted letters from Prince Duan before, but they had no knowledge of the ssages being conveyed.
This ti, the content of the letter was sothing he could roughly guess. By comparing the phrasing on the note, he might actually be able to decipher their thod of ssage passing.
If that were the case, it would be an enormous contribution.
Since ascending to the throne, why hadn’t the Emperor moved against Prince Duan? Was it reluctance?
Of course not. It was because the late Emperor had left Prince Duan with many contingencies, and the Emperor feared that Prince Duan might act out of desperation, causing turmoil in the Imperial Court, which is why he had been allowed to live until now.
...
If he could grasp the way Prince Duan passed ssages and follow the trail, he might unravel Prince Duan’s power step by step.
Thinking of this, Wu Jingyi beca excited, but quickly regained his composure, casting a deep look at Daohua.
“The young girl is quite capable, to even know about using ciphers for passing ssages, and even reminding the Little Prince to decrypt it,” he remarked.
Not ready to give up, Wu Jingyi turned to Xiao Yeyang, “Little Prince, you’ve just started your official duties and are unfamiliar with many things. Give the note, so I can decode it quickly. It’s an important matter and cannot be delayed.”
Xiao Yeyang replied with a faint smile, “Lord Wu, rest assured, I won’t delay important matters. If I cannot crack it, I will co to ask for your guidance personally. At that ti, I hope Lord Wu will generously share your wisdom.”
Wu Jingyi snorted. Not giving him the note was one thing, but to presu to ask for his teaching, he really had so nerve.
Daohua, seeing Wu Jingyi’s expression change, interjected with a smile, “Lord Wu will surely guide you. If not for the monk’s face, then for the Buddha’s sake, for the Emperor’s sake, Lord Wu will help you wholeheartedly, right, Lord Wu?”
Yikes, was she using the Emperor to pressure him?
Wu Jingyi glared at Daohua and snorted, “Compared to your two brothers, you are not cute at all!” So crafty!
Daohua was stunned, not as lovable as her two brothers? She felt insulted and tugged at Xiao Yeyang, “Xiao Yeyang, he’s talking about .”
Xiao Yeyang looked up at Wu Jingyi, his face full of dissatisfaction and disagreent. Bullying a young girl, this old fogy was really sothing.
Seeing this, Wu Jingyi tilted his chin up with a snort, thinking, would he be afraid of a whippersnapper that wasn’t even fully grown yet?
He wanted to defend the young girl, but did he even have the ability?
After locking eyes with Wu Jingyi for a mont, Xiao Yeyang silently shifted his gaze and whispered to Daohua, “Don’t worry, I will get your revenge. But now is not the right ti. He’s old, let’s be patient with him for now. When we co across soone younger from his family, I’ll make sure to even the score for you.”
Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang and reluctantly accepted his plan, “Alright, we’ll give him so deference. We can’t risk gaining a reputation for disrespecting elders while we’re out here.”
Xiao Yeyang nodded in agreent.
Watching the two youngsters whispering in front of him, Wu Jingyi’s temper flared, “What are you two plotting in front of ? Are you whispering about so scheming plan?”
Daohua shook her head, speaking with sincere face, “I never resort to conspiracies. I prefer to plot out in the open.”
Xiao Yeyang looked down and flicked his robe, saying indifferently, “The sa for . I’ve always resolved problems directly with my fists.”
Wu Jingyi stared at the two, feeling a bit slighted and trifled with. Could it be his imagination?
At that mont, several bodyguards arrived carrying a corpse.
Seeing this, Daohua quickly moved closer behind Xiao Yeyang.
Xiao Yeyang imdiately spoke up, “Don’t bring it here. Leave it outside in the courtyard.”
Wu Jingyi’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Is that Fan Kun?” he said as he walked toward the courtyard.
After getting a clear look at the corpse, his expression beca slightly more complex.
Back in the day, he was in charge of hunting down Fan Kun, but unfortunately, Fan Kun had escaped.
He never thought the next ti he’d see him, the man would be dead.
Xiao Yeyang told Daohua to stay in the courtyard while he went to check the body himself. “Is it Fan Kun?”
Wu Jingyi nodded, “It is.”
Xiao Yeyang waved his hand, signalling the bodyguards to carry the corpse away.
Then, Wu Jingyi and Xiao Yeyang exchanged a glance. The Fan Kun they’d been highly vigilant against, thinking he was hiding in so secret corner ready to strike at any mont, was now dead!
Such a lack of sense of achievent!
Xiao Yeyang said, “Lord Wu, could you keep watch here for a mont? I’ll take Daohua to the inn to et up with the other three ladies, and then I’ll be right back.”
