C583 They Had Been Sent to Shuntian to Assassinate the King

"Replying to the Emperor, when they heard that the Emperor had already arrived outside Shuntian Prefecture City, they arranged for the White Tiger, Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise to welcome him but I rejected them. " As he spoke, Jinghai cupped his hands and said.

"Rejected? Why?" Hearing this, the Emperor frowned and asked.

" Emperor, this was arranged by the commoner. He thinks that the Shuntian Prefecture is the end of our journey and also the most dangerous place. Perhaps Nie Chen and Zhao Yongjun are hiding in the Shuntian Prefecture. If that's the case, the city gate and the palace gate will be the most obvious and most dangerous place. It is the most suitable place for assassination and ambush.

If a large group of people came to receive you, the Emperor will definitely find out. When that time comes, it will be easy to hide an open spear but difficult to guard against an arrow in the dark. We do not wish to be trapped in the Emperor and danger at this final moment. The peasants feel that it is best to keep a low profile. " Seeing that the Emperor was angry, Yunxuan hurriedly cupped his hands and explained.

"Alright then, let's hurry in. " After listening to Yunxuan's words, the Emperor's complexion slightly improved and he urged.

"En, let's go in. The Emperor, You first change into this set of clothes, then the two of us will go in together. Jinghai, the three of you go in one by one. Don't go in together. After you go in, we will meet up at the Drunken Wind Inn. " Yunxuan looked at the others and then took out a tattered clothing from his bag and passed it to the Emperor. After that, he changed into an old set of clothes and after he was ready, they mixed into the city.

And just as they entered the city, two people sat on a tea stand in front of the city gates and happened to see the scene of them entering.

"Inform Big Brother that the target has appeared. " One of them saw Yunxuan and the others enter and quietly whispered in another person's ear. That person nodded and stood up to leave. The remaining person had been staring at them. Seeing them leave, he paid the money and followed them.

In a short while, the person who left first came to an inn. Then, he quickly walked to a room in the corner and gently knocked on the door three times. The door was heavy and the door was light.

"Come in. " As soon as the door was knocked, a sound came from the room. The person heard it and slowly pushed the door open and walked in.

"Do you have any news?" There were five people in the room at the moment, but only one was sitting. He was sitting at the table and looking at the person who came in, he asked.

"Reporting to First Master, the Second Master asked me to come back and report that the target has appeared. The Second Master is currently staring at them. "

"The target has appeared! Hmph, as expected, I guessed it right. It won't be that easy to sneak into the trap. Alright. I got it. You can leave first. " As he spoke, killing intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.

In fact, this man was none other than First Master from the World's Tyrant Manor. During this period of time, he had ordered everyone to observe him carefully along the way. Although most of his men in the Imperial Court had already been eliminated, he couldn't completely clean them up. There were also some very secretive people that even Eunuch Wang didn't know about, and these people were still alive.

According to the news of these people, Nie Xiong felt that the day of the Emperor's return to the Palace was not far away. This was their last chance. If they could not kill the Emperor this time, their plan would be completely ruined, so they had been observing.

But according to the report of the disciples, they had never seen the Emperor's figure. So he felt that it must be Yang Yunxuan who did it. It was precisely because of this idea that he had no idea. That was why Zhao Yongjun was constantly watching the scene at the Shuntian Prefecture's entrance. However, there were a total of four doors in the Shuntian Prefecture. Therefore, after much consideration, Nie Xiong had given Zhao Yongjun the biggest possibility of guarding one of the gates. The other three gates were only arranged for some disciples.

Coincidentally, it was precisely this sect that Yunxuan had chosen. Finally, Zhao Yongjun had discovered it, and his hard work had paid off.

He made some simple arrangements and had everyone set up an ambush in front of the imperial palace. The remaining people were on standby. After making the arrangements, they would wait for Zhao Yongjun's news. Although Nie Xiong was a man who had seen a lot of things, he couldn't help but feel nervous. After all, this was his last chance. Once he failed. . . Given his status as the ruler of a country, and the two reasons why he wanted to usurp the throne and kill him. . . He was afraid that he would die a graveless death, even if he managed to escape. . . Then his villa could also be destroyed, so no one would be able to calm down.

"We have been targeted. Emperor, do not turn back. We must shake off our people. " At this moment, Yunxuan was walking along the streets with the Emperor. Suddenly, Yunxuan felt that there was a person following them from behind. Hence, he quietly whispered to the Emperor.

"Who is eyeing us? Could it be World's Tyrant Manor?!" When the Emperor heard Yunxuan's words, his heart tightened and became somewhat worried.

" It's very likely. If I'm not wrong, it should be Zhao Gongxun. Emperor, we must get rid of them first before regrouping with Jinghai and the rest. "

"Alright, I'll listen to you how we get rid of them. " The Emperor nodded and said.

"Let's go there first. " Yunxuan sized up the shop in front and suddenly saw a restaurant. This restaurant had a lot of people coming and going and it was suitable for them to escape. Thus he gave the Emperor a look and said.

The Emperor followed his gaze and understood what Yunxuan meant. Thus he smiled and nodded his head before walking in.

"Dear guests, should we eat or be the tip of the iceberg?" When the waiter saw the two of them enter, he warmly welcomed them.

"Little Liu, do you have a back door here?" Yunxuan looked around and found that there were quite a number of people here. He took out a silver ingot from his pocket and placed it in the waiter's hand and asked with a smile.

"Hehe, yes, please follow me. " The waiter saw the bright smile on the ingot and quickly guided Yunxuan and the others to the back door. The two of them looked at each other and nodded before following.

After a while, the waiter led them to the back door. The two of them poked their heads out to take a look. This was a small alley. There was basically no one, and it was not long either.

"Dear guests, this is the path for us to send the dishes backstage. Once you pass through this path, you can take a turn and reach the main street. " The waiter pointed at the end of the road.

"Thank you for your help, little brother Liu. If someone asks about it later. . . As long as you don't tell us where we are, you can just say a few perfunctory words. This is to thank Little Brother Liu and invite him to work for us. " After saying that, Yunxuan took out ten years' worth of silver from his pocket and handed it to the waiter.

"Hehe! I understand. Please rest assured. " The waiter said flatteringly.

"Okay, then I'll take my leave. " After saying that, Yunxuan and the Emperor cupped their hands and left through the back door.

Just as he left, Zhao Yongjun walked in and looked around to see that there was no trace of the Emperor. This gave him an ominous feeling and immediately called the waiter over.
