Chapter 91 King of Jin (Part )

"My lord, do you want to send someone to immediately investigate who sent the arrow message?" Gongsun Ji stepped forward and asked.

The King of Jin had an ugly expression on his face. Even Gongsun Ji, who had always been his favorite, was scolded by him, "Why don't you go quickly? Do you still need the King, no, the Emperor's orders for this matter?"

"Yes, let's go right now."

He glanced at the others and said, "All of you, step back!"

"Yes."

After everyone had hurriedly left, Prince Jin unfolded the letter again. With trembling hands, he carefully read the contents of the letter again, and a hideous and ferocious smile appeared on his face.

"I never believe in retribution. No matter who you are, I will kill Buddhas and gods!"

-

The night was as dark as ink, and the cold moonlight sprinkled on the ancient eaves. A man in black appeared quietly in a house like a ghost. He pulled off the cloth on his face as he walked. His black hair was casually tied up, and a few disobedient strands of hair blew down in front of his forehead, adding a sense of determination and mystery.

"Master Wei, you're back?"

Xu Shanshan, who was standing guard at the doorstep, hurried forward to greet him. The lights were swaying, and her slightly bulging belly was very obvious.

"Why did you come out? Since you are pregnant, you should take good care of the baby."

"Not so spoiled, the month is still young, how is it? Was it successful?"

She couldn't wait to ask.

Wei Canghao did not answer. His sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, just like a touch of thick ink outlining a pair of deep, cold star-like eyes.

"Where's Xu Shanshan?"

Xu Shanshan followed him, holding up the hem of her skirt. His long legs took one step and pushed her three steps forward. She kept walking while answering, "My second sister is stargazing. She said you were coming back. I was worried so I waited outside."

After all, it is Wei who is the head of the family and the future son-in-law of the Xu family who is running around for the Xu family's affairs. She can't help, but she still has to be more proactive.

The pavilion located in the center of the garden is unique and contrasts beautifully with the surrounding flowers, plants and trees. Xu Shanshan and Xu Shuishui are standing in the pavilion, looking up at the sky.

The stars in the sky are like the endless mysteries of the world.

"Does everyone have a destiny star?" Xu Shuishui asked.

When the two were chatting just now, they mentioned the term "fate star". Xu Shuishui was interested and continued to ask.

Xu Shanshan said: "Of course not."

"Then who are the people in the stars in the sky?" He stared at the twinkling stars with puzzled and inquiring eyes, as if he was pondering something.

Xu Shanshan's voice is leisurely and ordinary, but if you listen carefully in the night, you can find an endless mystery in it.

"Stars are like people. Some are dull and unnoticed, while others are bright and dazzling, attracting everyone's attention. Who do you think deserves to be high up in the sky and admired by everyone?"

Xu Shuishui thought for a moment: "Rich people... No, they should be powerful people, like the King of Jin, right?"

He turned his head and looked up at Xu Shanshan's face.

"wrong."

Xu Shanshan lowered her eyes to meet Xu Shuishui's gaze that was waiting for an answer. Her expression was like a silhouette in the mist, but her back reflected the entire vast universe: "He is not in the sky where people look up to him."

Instead, it should be in the stinking muddy ground. Wei Canghao had been standing nearby and listening for a while. He suddenly said, "If even the King of Jin doesn't count, then who does count in your mind?"

Xu Shanshan also followed. She waved to Xu Shuishui. When he approached her with doubt, she took him by the hand and said to Xu Shanshan and Wei Canghao, "You two can talk slowly."

After saying that, he took Xu Shuishui away, leaving the two of them alone.

Xu Shanshan wore a thin and loose gown, which was unrestrained and soft as water, like a flowing painting: "Of course it is Emperor Yue."

Wei Canghao was still wearing a black robe, but at this moment he was less dignified than usual. Instead, his expression relaxed, turning him into a handsome man with deep facial features.

"The Emperor in Prison?" He said calmly, "He has been unconscious for a long time for unknown reasons. Now the Kingdom of Jing is torn apart and treacherous ministers are in power. Even if he wakes up, I'm afraid he will be powerless to stop it. It's hard to say whether he can even keep the throne."

"So you think those treacherous ministers and rebels are more qualified to be the ruler of the world than the Emperor of Prison?" Xu Shanshan tested his mind.

If he had any second thoughts, she would have to re-plan her plans.

Wei Canghao frowned and said decisively: "Of course not. How can a traitor win the support of the people? I just occasionally wonder whether the orthodoxy we uphold can give us the expectations we deserve."

Xu Shanshan put her hands behind her back, as if she was at the top of the world, and she said, "The king's power is granted by God. The Prison Emperor was sent by heaven to rule the world. He is just a latent dragon now, and these people are just the grinding stones on his way to becoming a king."

When she said this, she was like standing on the top of the mountain, looking down on the crowd, or like the brightest star in the sky.

Wei Canghao thought to himself, what about her, does she also have a place in heaven?
"Have you successfully delivered the arrow letter to King Jin?" she asked about business.

"That's right. I successfully sneaked into the inner city of Prince Jin's Mansion according to the route map you provided. I shot the arrow while the guards were not paying attention and it got nailed on the door panel. They had no time to react and I successfully escaped."

Although Wei Canghao described the process in a simple and easy way, the difficulty involved could be seen from the fact that he left at dawn and returned at dark.

It is very difficult for ordinary people to sneak into Prince Jin's Mansion to stimulate the situation, because Prince Jin had used Prince Jin's Mansion as the center point when he intended to become emperor. He rebuilt the outer city and surrounded the inner city with the outer city. Not only was the defense doubly tighter, but it also prevented people with ulterior motives from easily finding his residence.

But Prince Jin did not know that Xu Shanshan had been prepared for this. She sent Maomao as a scout and had already figured out the situation of their Prince Jin's Mansion clearly.

A bird, and one that can become invisible, can come and go freely.

Because the defense map and terrain location of Prince Jin's Mansion were prepared in advance, Wei Canghao's trip was relatively smooth and no one discovered his whereabouts.

She asked, "Have you read the contents of that letter?"

"No." Wei Canghao answered quickly.

He was mainly worried that Xu Shanshan had set some "trap" in the letter. If he opened it hastily, wouldn't it disrupt her plan? Moreover, he couldn't open it without permission and peek.

It has to be said that Wei Canghao still knew Xu Shanshan a little bit, and she did do something with that letter.

"I will use this letter to lure him out. Can you set an ambush?" she asked again.

Of course Wei Canghao would, but is it really as simple and easy as she said?

She led the troops, he sent his troops to set an ambush, and then they easily eliminated the King of Jin and his followers...

The corner of his mouth twitched: "Are you planning to...ambush him?"

“This is undoubtedly the fastest way to solve the problem.”

Wei Canghao tried his best to persuade her to calm down: "First of all, King Jin would not be so stupid as to go to the appointment alone. Secondly, how do you know he is not behind the scenes? Finally, how can you be sure that he will come?"

Was the letter she wrote really so tempting? So tempting that...he was willing to risk his life?

Xu Shanshan smiled slightly and said firmly: "Of course he will come, because he will never let go of anyone who knows his secret."
