Stunning beauty

"Mujin, you lost."

Li Yuan, the inner courtyard, Li Ziye, who hadn't been out for two days, played chess with Hibiscus, winning one game after another.

It seemed that the bloody storm outside had nothing to do with the Li family.

After all, paper could not contain the flames. The news that the royal family's shadow guards had been taken over by others quickly spread among the major forces in the capital, and everyone was shocked.

Almost everyone guessed that the mastermind behind this incident was the Li family, because only the Li family had the strength and motivation to take such a large-scale revenge against the royal family.

However, speculation is speculation, and no one dares to speak nonsense without evidence.

When it comes to the shadow guards of the royal family, all speech is taboo, if you talk too much, it is easy to cause trouble.

"The Li family, you're really crazy!"

Guanshan King's Mansion, after hearing the news that the Shadow Guard had been taken over by someone, the King of Guanshan was beyond shocked.

During this period of time, any fool could see that this was the Li family's revenge against the royal family.

Li Youwei had an accident during her wedding with Bai Wangyu, obviously, it had completely angered the Li family.

However, no one thought that the Li family's revenge would be so amazing.

Such behavior is tantamount to declaring war on the royal family.

"My lord, is this really the work of the Li family?" Inside the palace, Princess Guan Shan asked solemnly.

"There is no doubt about it."

King Guan Shan nodded and said, "I guessed that the Li family might make some moves, but I really didn't expect the Li family's counterattack to come so quickly and violently."

"The Li family, it's really crazy, where did they get so many masters?" Princess Guan Shan asked in puzzlement.

"Misty Rain Tower."

Guan Shan Wang Ning said, "The Shadow Guard was killed by a group of assassins who were good at assassination. In the world, the only assassin organization with this ability is the Misty Rain Building."

"Collect money to buy your life?"

On the side, Princess Guan Shan looked shocked, and said, "The Li family probably paid a lot for Yanyulou to mobilize so many five-level killers at once."

"At least, start with a million silver."

King Guan Shan said with emotion, "The wealth of the Li family is really astonishing. It would be impossible for any other power to bear such a large amount of silver at one time."

"My lord, is the Li family too impulsive?"

Princess Guan Shan's gaze narrowed slightly, and she asked, "Your Majesty can't bear this tone. The Li family probably won't be able to withstand the royal family's counterattack."

"No, regardless of your attitude and identity, the Li family did the right thing."

King Guanshan replied, "If the Li family destroyed the shadow guards of the royal family, the royal family would have lost an arm. If they want to attack the Li family, they will be powerless."

It's not that the royal family can't deal with the Li family, but that it's impossible to deal with the Li family at a relatively low cost.

For a long time, the Shadow Guard has been a tool for the royal family to collect intelligence and monitor the officials. Now that the Shadow Guard has been taken over by someone, the part of the royal family that has been there for many years will be destroyed in one fell swoop.

Without the shadow guard's help in the dark, the royal family would not easily tear each other up with the Li family and attack the Li family blatantly, because the price would be too great.

"Mujin, you lost again."

In the inner courtyard of Li Garden, Li Ziye didn't know how many times he won the chess game. He threw the chess pieces into the chess box and said, "Take a break."

"Young master is superb at chess, I am no match." Mu Jin replied truthfully.

"The more times you play, the more proficient you will be."

Li Ziye smiled and said, "Mujin, let me test you. What will the royal family do next?"

"Separate the Yanyu Tower and the Li Family, and defeat each of them." Mu Jin thought for a moment, and replied.

"clever."

Li Ziye praised, "Ever since the second elder brother and Hongyi caught the thunder and worshiped it last time, the royal family has been trying every means to get in touch with the Yanyu Tower. After this lesson, the royal family must be more wary of the strength of the Yanyu Tower, so the royal family will not To easily declare war on the Li family and the Yanyu Building at the same time, whichever is the lesser of two evils, the royal family must want to destroy the Li family even more, so splitting up the Li family and the Yanyu Building and defeating them one by one is the best choice."

Having said that, Li Ziye took a sip of the hot tea on the table, and continued to ask, "Mujin, from the perspective of the Li family, how should we deal with it?"

"Just count."

Mu Jin thought for a while, and replied, "Using the weakness of the royal family's lack of intelligence to make a fuss, openly repair the plank road and cover Chen Cang secretly."

"really not bad."

Li Ziye showed relief when he heard Mu Jin's answer.

The prince is in the spirit of heaven, if he can see the growth of hibiscus, he must be at ease.

It is better to teach him to fish than to teach him to fish. Learning how to think about problems is more useful than the protection of the Li family.

Just when Li Ziye was hiding in the mansion, he didn't step out of the gate, and he pointed out Mu Jin by the way.

In front of the palace.

The carriage stopped, and a figure in a green robe got off the carriage, and entered the palace under the leadership of the Shadow Guard.

In front of Xuanwu Gate, Changsun Fengyu frowned slightly when he saw the man in green robe brought by the Shadow Guard.

Who is this?

However, the Shadow Guard does not need to explain to anyone, even the eldest grandson Fengyu, who is one of the commanders of the imperial army, has no right to intervene.

Soon, under the leadership of the Shadow Guard, the green-robed man came to the Shouan Hall.

"Your Majesty, someone brought it."

When the two entered the hall, the Shadow Guard stopped and saluted respectfully.

"I have seen His Majesty the Great Merchant."

On the side, the man in green robe saluted politely and called out.

"What's your name?"

In front of the chess table, Emperor Shang raised his head, looked at the person, and asked.

"Qingping."

The green-robed man replied.

"Mr. Qing."

Shang Huang calmly said, "Although there is friction between the royal family and Yanyu Tower, it is not to the point of life and death. This time, Yanyu Tower's attack on the Shadow Guard is too much?"

"Collect people's money and help them eliminate disasters."

The green-robed man didn't deny it either, and said in a calm tone, "Yanyulou is open for business, so you can't make trouble with Yinzi."

"The Li family?" Shang Huang asked.

The green-robed man shook his head lightly, and replied, "The rules of the Yanyu Tower will not disclose any information about the buyer, so please don't ask any more questions, Your Majesty."

"Okay, I won't ask more questions."

The Emperor Shang said in a deep voice, "I want to ask, is the Yanyu Building a business for the royal family?"

"of course."

The green-robed man nodded and said, "As long as His Majesty can afford the price."

"Yanyu Tower, can you really take on any mission?" Shang Huang asked, turning the chess pieces in his hands.

"Not at all."

The green-robed man shook his head, and replied, "First of all, it must be possible for Yanyulou to do it. In view of His Majesty's cooperation with Yanyulou for the first time, I will send you a piece of information. Yanyulou has received more than one invitation to assassinate His Majesty." The tasks, however, were all sent back by us, and the Yanyu Building cannot do such a task, so it will not accept it."

"Oh? There is such a thing."

Hearing the words, the Emperor Shang revealed a strange expression on his face, and said, "What if I want you to kill the third son of the Li family?"

"No."

The green-robed man shook his head again, and replied, "There are too many masters around this man, and they are full of scheming. Killing him is not much easier than assassinating His Majesty."

"The third son of the Li family can't do it, what about that Li Wanwan from Yuzhou City?" Shang Huang asked with narrowed eyes.

"You can talk."

The green-robed man thought for a moment and said, "It depends on whether the price offered by His Majesty satisfies us."
