Chapter 654: The Undercurrent of Pursuit
King Yi Xiao Jingyi sat in the upper seat, one hand tightly grasping the armrest of the chair, while the other hand was placed on the table, tapping it lightly with one finger from time to time.
Looking at the expression on Xiao Jingyi's face, it seemed even gloomier than the sky before the rainstorm.
At this moment, what kept flashing in front of Xiao Jingyi's eyes was... the proud figure and stunning face of Leng Rongyue who stood dignifiedly at the lobby of Shuntian Mansion that day, lifted her veil, and made an impassioned speech.
"Listen carefully to what I am about to say...
My king's plans have changed.
Before, the target that I ordered you to find an opportunity to kill... was Leng Rongyue, who was engaged to Xiao Jingyu.
that is because……
Prince Yu’s wife must... must be my person!
Now, I have one more goal:
Except that Xiao Jingyu's princess must be my person;
Leng Rongyue, who is engaged to Xiao Jingyu... must become my person!
Do you understand?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand!"
The kneeling men in black responded in unison.
"So, the target you are going to kill tonight is...
Duke Anguo Fu Peng and his two sons;
And...his two grandsons!
As for the other female relatives and servants... except Leng Rongyue, kill them if you see them!
snort!
Anguogong Mansion...
Anguogong Mansion..."
Xiao Jingyi gritted his teeth...
Think about all these years, I have tried every means to win you over and show you goodwill, but you have ignored me and have only been loyal to my uncle, the emperor...
Since you can't be used by me, then... there's no need to keep you.
This will also prevent you from causing trouble for me in the future!
Thinking of this, Xiao Jingyi slowly leaned back in his chair and looked up at the roof.
After a long pause, he continued, "The most important thing...
Remember, don't hurt even a single hair of Leng Rongyue.
After you succeed tonight, you will secretly send Leng Rongyue to my villa.
During this period, no news should be leaked.
Remember? "
"Yes, please keep this in mind!"
The man in black below responded again.
Xiao Jingyi closed his eyes and plotted in his mind...
Wait until Xiao Jingyu renews the engagement;
After he married his Princess Yu...
That was when Leng Rongyue reappeared.
At that time, I can create an opportunity and become her savior!
When the time comes, I will create a scene where our clothes touch each other’s sleeves, or even touch each other’s skin, and see if Leng Rongyue dares not to give herself to me and become my woman!
Xiao Jingyu, Xiao Jingyu...
How could I allow a stunning beauty like Leng Rongyue to be yours?
Such a beauty in the world, or the most beautiful woman in the world...
Of course, they all belong to this king...
No, they should all belong to the future Emperor Jingyue!
Xiao Jingyi raised his hand and waved it downwards, "Okay, all of you retreat now!
I guess... the official road leading to Qingguo Temple on Yunxiang Mountain is now full of people and carriages from court officials who are busy picking up their daughters...
Let’s not join in the fun.
You just need to get out before the city gates close.
When you get there, find a place to hide first.
The time to act...midnight!"
"Yes, I obey!"
The eight men in black bowed, stood up and walked out.
Xiao Jingyu narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then turned to look at the man in black standing beside him.
This person is Deng Si, the killer leader beside Xiao Jingyu.
"Deng Si, to be absolutely sure, hit the target with one strike...
In addition to these eight assassins, you are to bring ten more killers.
Make sure to:
The goal was achieved without leaving a trace!"
"Yes, I understand. Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
Deng Si responded.
Xiao Jingyi nodded slightly and raised his hand to signal Deng Si to leave.
Deng Si bowed to Xiao Jingyi, took two steps back, turned around and walked out.
Xiao Jingyi closed his eyes again, wondering what he was thinking.
At this time, on the official road, from time to time there would be a carriage or a few horsemen rushing towards Yunxiang Mountain.
People who don't know the inside story will naturally be confused...
Because those carriages were obviously very gorgeous...but none of them had any logos.
Those who know the inside story will naturally smile knowingly...
It's shameless to put up the logo of your own mansion!
Afraid that others would find out, he sent his own daughter away shamelessly to Qingguo Temple on Yunxiang Mountain, intending to attach himself to His Royal Highness Prince Yu and get into Prince Yu's mansion.
Really!
If I had known I would lose face today, why would I have been so shameless in the first place?
This afternoon, the official road leading to Qingguo Temple in Yunxiang Mountain was particularly busy.
The Qingguo Temple on Yunxiang Mountain is even more lively inside and outside.
After the ladies from various families arrived here, the carriages and horses that brought them here had already returned.
Regardless of the mission they received, or their vow to fulfill their dream of becoming Prince Yu's wife, they all had to strive to get close to His Royal Highness Prince Yu within the next two days.
It would be best if I could win the favor of His Royal Highness Prince Yu.
If there is really no other way, I must find an opportunity to create a reason that can be seen by others and force His Royal Highness Prince Yu to marry me.
Today should be the second day since Prince Yu came to Qingguo Temple.
There is not much time, only today and tomorrow.
These young ladies dare not be idle for a moment.
The inside and outside of Qingguo Temple;
The various mountain paths on Yunxiang Mountain...
Everywhere there are beautiful women;
They can be seen wandering around everywhere.
They were all hanging around Qingguo Temple, so it was inevitable that the ladies would bump into each other.
When they first meet, both of them will feel a little awkward and blush.
After meeting each other more often, I have gradually become thicker-skinned and don’t care anymore!
Who doesn’t know who?
Since we all have the same goal, then let's use our own methods and rely on our own abilities!
Those who know each other will exchange a few insincere greetings, then quickly separate and pursue their own goals.
They were afraid that they would meet His Royal Highness Prince Yu together with others and divert his attention.
Leng Rongyue and the Anguo Mansion family followed Master Wuchen to do morning lessons...
Next, there was another morning of meditation and sutra listening.
It was not until noon that we returned to the guest house to have vegetarian lunch.
The people from the Anguo Mansion and Leng Rongyue naturally knew that Prince Yu Xiao Jingyu had already left Qingguo Temple overnight and went down the mountain to return to the capital.
I also know that Xiao Jingyu is trying to avoid suspicion;
The second reason was to return to the palace to see Emperor Hongde and ask for an explanation.
Now, looking at these daughters of various families coming in and out and wandering around everywhere;
Watching them scan everywhere, not missing a single spot...
The people in the Anguo Mansion looked at each other and just smiled helplessly.
What does it mean to draw water with a bamboo basket?
Ugh!
This is the only result these young ladies can get.
This trip to Qingguo Temple in Yunxiang Mountain was destined to be in vain!
