Chen Ying heard Liu Mingzhi's teasing words, and his body hidden under the black cloak suddenly trembled.
He glanced at Tao Ying with complicated eyes, wanting to know the answer, but also afraid of knowing the answer, and glanced to the side unnaturally.
Tao Ying has been able to plot against Young Master Liu for two years, so she is not a stupid woman?
From Chen Ying's vague expression and the unnatural look in his eyes, he could faintly notice that something was wrong.
Tao Ying was silent for a while, her expression gradually stiffened.
Turning her eyes to look at Young Master Liu with a teasing smile on his face, and then looking back at Chen Ying who was standing silently in front of her, Tao Ying's delicate body trembled unnaturally.
"Senior, what happened? How did my husband die?"
"Princess, the King of Shu naturally died because he was the King of Shu. This is known to the world. Princess, you don't need to ask this old slave anymore!"
"Senior understands what I mean. What I want to ask is whether my husband was personally raped by Liu Mingzhi in the imperial study room..."
Liu Mingzhi raised his hand and patted Tao Ying's shoulder gently, his teasing expression gradually turning serious.
"Okay, since I understand something in my heart, there is no need to dig into the details. Let's leave a fig leaf for my seniors."
After hearing Liu Mingzhi's words, Tao Ying stared blankly at Chen Ying, who lowered his head and did not dare to look at her. His expression was dull, and he fell on the stool behind him in confusion.
Liu Mingzhi sighed silently and put the herbal tea he had poured into Tao Ying's hand. After exhaling hot breath into his palm, his hands seemed to be cold and he inadvertently placed them in his sleeves.
His hands quietly grasped the two daggers hidden in his cuffs. Liu Mingzhi walked leisurely towards the door. He leaned over and took a look at the hundreds of spies outside the room, who were surrounded by black robes.
Shadow Secret Agent.
"Senior Chen Ying, this junior is very curious, how did you find this silly woman to be your guide to me?
After all, among so many people in the Li clan, there are so many people who can get close to me and gain my trust. This silly woman is definitely not the best candidate.
Why did you choose her? This junior really can’t figure it out.
It’s a long night, I wonder if the seniors can spend some time to clear up some doubts for the juniors?”
Chen Ying took a peek at Tao Ying, who was sitting on the stool in despair, and slowly walked towards Liu Mingzhi.
"King Bingjian was wrong. It was not that we took the initiative to seek out the princess to serve as an introduction. It was because we accidentally learned that the princess wanted to seek revenge from the prince for her husband, His Highness the King of Shu, and we slowly began to approach the princess.
Finally, after some deliberation, it was decided that it would be better to take advantage of the situation and find a way to help the princess get closer to the prince.
After all, Spy's spies are all well-educated in kung fu. It's really difficult to hide it from the eyes of the prince and the many masters under your command.
But the princess is different, she is just an ordinary weak woman who has no power to bind a chicken.
In addition, the princess had originally wanted to seek revenge from the prince to avenge her husband, and we just added fuel to the flames.
While helping the princess get close to you, you are also protecting the princess' safety."
Liu Mingzhi glanced outside the house: "Those maids?"
"That's right!"
"It coincides with each other, go on."
"As for why we didn't find other Li clan members to approach the prince, it's not that we haven't thought of this plan.
But after many rounds of screening, we really couldn’t find a suitable candidate.”
Liu Mingzhi glanced at Chen Ying in surprise: "Oh? What's the explanation?"
"Why would the prince ask knowingly? Most of the people in the Li clan are familiar with the prince, and they have stayed in the clan's house for a long time. Their aura is naturally different, and it is easy for the prince to notice that something is wrong.
Prince Qing, Prince Yun, and Prince Jing are all familiar with the prince, and their every move is under the surveillance of the prince's spies. Naturally, we dare not contact them.
Only His Highness Prince Ming has established a vassal state in Mingzhou. However, Prince Ming is young and has just established a vassal state. His foundation is unstable and he really does not have the strength to compete with the prince.
Then He Zong... Hi... let's call him His Highness the King of Shu.
Among so many Li family members, only the family of His Highness the King of Shu, who has become famous, is not well known to the prince.
We didn't think of this at first and were still thinking of other ways to help our old master.
It was the appearance of the princess that suddenly gave us this idea.
Since there was no other way at the time, it was better to go with the flow and give it a try.
The Emperor and Heaven have paid off, and with the blessings of past emperors, we finally have the opportunity for you, Your Majesty, to be alone.
However, this is mainly due to the princess. Without her help, we may not be able to wait for this day until our death."
Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded with a half-smile.
"I admire you. You are really a good and patient hunter."
"Why does the prince need to ridicule us? If there is no other way, why should we lie dormant and wait for two years.
Although the sixteen of us are all innate masters, and all of us are brave enough, the prince is not a kind person either.
There are so many masters under my command, and they emerge one after another. Once we are entangled by the masters, when the elite army surrounds us and our internal strength is exhausted, it will be the day when we will die.
For the high hopes placed on us by our ancestors, we naturally do not dare to risk everything."
"Senior, you are aware of yourself. If this is the case, you can capture my relatives and friends to force me to attend the appointment alone.
Ultimately, your patience is too great."
"Sigh. People's hearts are unpredictable. How can we dare to bet on whether the prince cares about our relatives and friends?
After all, when you reach the position of a prince, you have already become ruthless.
If he fails to blackmail the prince, his own existence will be exposed instead.
In this case, it is better to take one step and come up with a plan to capture the thief first and capture the king first.
After all, as long as there is no prince in the court and the army, it will soon be disintegrated into a piece of loose sand under various circumstances.
Secondly, we are also proud of our innate status as old people. Our opponent is the prince, so how can we involve the innocent lives of the prince's family?"
Listening to Chen Ying's somewhat sad words, Liu Mingzhi couldn't help but sneer and shook his head at Chen Ying.
"wrong!"
"Hmm? What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
Liu Mingzhi sneered and walked towards Tao Ying, glancing at Chen Ying who had a suspicious look in his eyes.
"You are afraid that if you fail to blackmail me, I will ruthlessly kill everyone in the Li clan, completely exterminating your hope of helping your old master.
What is the so-called worry and the pride of an innate master?
Bullshit!
It's because I still have the Li family as a bargaining chip in my hand, and you are worried that I will get angry and try to kill you.
That's why you don't dare to act rashly.
Now that things have reached this point, if you continue to say these high-sounding words, it will make people laugh."
Chen Ying's old pupils suddenly shrank, and after a moment of silence, he gently pulled out a wild goose feather knife from under his black cloak.
"My lord, although you are already an innate master, but when faced with so many upper-level third-level masters and Laosan, who are at the same level outside the house, you don't have the slightest chance of winning.
It is better to go back with the old man obediently. After the prince writes the edict of abdication and has someone hand over the imperial seal, as long as the prince is sensible, we will naturally not do anything to the prince and will leave him alive and find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to rest in peace.
Year.
If the prince insists on resisting, our brothers will have no choice but to kill him, please don’t be stubborn."
Liu Mingzhi's hands in his sleeves turned slightly, and he looked calmly into Chen Ying's sharp eyes.
"There is really no chance of winning in this young master's fight, but if I want to leave, even a senior innate master of the same level cannot stop me.
You have been planning so painstakingly for so long, it’s impossible that only a top expert like you is here, right?
Let the other Shadow Guardians also show up to see you."
Even before Chen Ying made any move, several hearty laughs came from outside the door, saying flattering words to Liu Mingzhi.
"Your Majesty is worthy of being a prince. He is very far-sighted after all. Ziying admires him!"
"If we hadn't come to this point, the old man and the others would have become good friends with the prince forever. What a pity! Xu Ying is polite!"
