Of course I'm not afraid.

Neither Yinzhen and Yinzhi, nor Yinreng and Yinzhi, nor even the brothers Nian Xiyao and Nian Gengyao, showed much panic.

If the Nian brothers were a little worried at the beginning, they calmed down when they saw the four princes sitting there leisurely and not panicking at all.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the other three princes were so calm, perhaps they were well prepared?

Thinking about the identities of the four nobles in front of them, the Nian brothers looked at each other tacitly and immediately felt that this might be an opportunity.

One, a chance to express themselves.

Yinzhen and his three companions did not pay much attention to the Nian brothers. They were waiting for the person who drugged them to appear.

I was also wondering in my heart which force was behind this.

Was it the Tiandihui, the anti-Qing and restoration-Ming sect? Or was it the White Lotus Sect?

Or maybe, it was some people in the Jiangnan officialdom who were taken advantage of?

They are looking forward to the appearance of the person behind the scenes.

If they are anti-Qing and pro-Ming forces, then a large-scale purge will be launched. If they are people from the Jiangnan officialdom, then it will also suit their purpose of cleansing the Jiangnan official gangs.

It doesn't matter which side you go, neither side loses.

Yinzhen lowered his eyes in deep thought, his hand placed on the cup, gently stroking the pattern on the edge.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound from above, as if someone had landed on the roof.

Yinzhen paused for a moment, and the next second he was pulled over by Yinreng.

"The fight started."

Hearing the sound of swords clashing, Yinreng knew that there was chaos outside.

"Second brother, protect them both. I'm going to go out and meet those people." Excitement flashed in Yinzhi's eyes. He reached for his waist and pulled out a soft sword. After pushing Yinzhi to Yinreng's side, he opened the door and went out.

Nian Xiyao and Nian Gengyao stood in front of Yinreng and the others in a protective manner, "Your Highness, are we going to withdraw?"

"No need, just wait."

Yinreng put one hand on Yinzhen's shoulder and patted Yinzhi, who was about to take out his pistol, with his other hand. With a glance, Yinzhi put away his pistol.

"Don't mess around. Can you just take this thing out?" Yinreng scolded softly. If he disagreed, Yinzhi had no choice but to obey.

Although he really wanted to go out with his pistol and "bang bang" a few times to kill everyone.

But, it was my second brother who gave me the pistol. If I don't listen to him, it will be confiscated.

Yinzhi pretended to sigh with regret, causing Yinzhen to look at him sideways: "Third brother, be honest."

The eldest brother went out because he was already eighteen years old, had high fighting skills, and had been on the battlefield. Besides, they couldn't stop him, so they let him run away without worry.

But Third Brother... Let alone anything else, who would be willing to let a 13-year-old boy go out and fight?

Yinzhen held Yinzhi back. He didn't care much about the situation outside. Khan Ama had sent them a lot of secret guards, all of whom were equipped with muskets. If they were not afraid of disturbing the people, they could solve the problem with a few shots.

"Fourth brother, when do you think Khan Ama will come?" Yinzhi was not panicked. He squatted down slightly, held his chin with both hands, thinking about the time when his Khan Ama would arrive.

Yinzhen also squatted down, thought for a moment, and said, "It should be soon. This place is not far from Cao's house. I think we will be there soon."

At this point, Yinzhen had to complain: "Third brother, do you think the person behind this is not very smart?"

"Hmm?" Yinzhi looked up in confusion.

"Look, this place is only one street away from Cao's house. If you ambush us here, wouldn't that be courting death?"

Unless they were sure they could delay Khan Ama's actions before he captured or killed their brothers, they would definitely end up being attacked from both sides and unable to escape.

" ... ... Could it be that some people really went to the Cao family to cause trouble?"

Yinzhen tilted his head slightly, looked at Yinzhi, and both of them covered their mouths.

Oh, if that's the case -

"Second brother, which force do you think is responsible?"

While the fighting was still going on outside, Yinzhen and Yinzhi pulled Yinreng aside and asked him curiously.

Unfortunately, Yinreng didn't know which faction they were from. Just as he was about to answer them, he heard Yinzhi's voice from outside: "You came here to kill people and you are wearing white. Are you from the White Lotus Sect?"

There was a strong sense of sarcasm in the words. The three brothers did not speak, but continued to listen attentively. Then they heard a strange voice roaring: "Catch the son of the dog emperor!"

Okay, now it is clear, it is the force of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty.

"So it is really the White Lotus Sect?" Yinzhi raised his hand and asked.

"Not necessarily. Maybe the Tiandihui also wears white." Yinzhen guessed immediately.

Yinzhi nodded in agreement: "You are right, they may only like white clothes."

The focus of these two was really biased, and the Nian brothers couldn't bear to look at them directly, so they cast their eyes on Yinreng, who looked particularly reliable, trying to see if he had any good insights.

Then ... ... they heard Yinreng say in a particularly serious tone: "It's definitely not the Tiandihui. The Tiandihui would wear night clothes when killing people."

emmm ... ...

Nian Xiyao and Nian Gengyao took a step back silently. As they looked at each other, they had only one thought: It's unreliable, too unreliable! Does the emperor know that the Crown Prince and the Third and Fourth Princes are so outrageous?

The Nian brothers felt that this royal family was outrageous, but Yinreng, Yinzhi and Yinzhen did not feel that they had done anything wrong at all.

Yinzhen was opening the window to see what was happening outside.

But as soon as his hand reached the window, a streak of blood splashed onto it.

He paused, slowed down, and finally chose to open the window.

When the window was opened, a man in white was hanging on the tree opposite, with blood on his neck. It was obvious that this was the man who had just been stabbed in the throat by a sword.

Yinzhen stared at the other person's face for a few seconds before turning back to greet his second and third brothers, "That's a servant who sweeps the Cao family garden."

Although he couldn't remember the name, Yinzhen remembered the face.

He didn't have a very distinctive face. On the contrary, he was extremely ordinary, so ordinary that if you put him in a crowd, no matter how carefully you looked, you might not be able to find him.

But this is exactly why Yinzhen remembers him.

"It seems that he is keeping an eye on our whereabouts." Yinzhi thought thoughtfully, "Then, could there be other traitors in the Cao family?"

"Not sure, let's see what's going on with Khan Ama."

Yinzhen shook his head. He was now certain that Khan Ama had also been framed. He just didn't know whether the focus of the anti-Qing and restoration forces was on Khan Ama or on his brothers.

"Second brother, what do you think?" Yinzhen turned around and looked at Yinreng and asked.

"I think," Yinreng paused and said faintly, "I think the White Lotus Sect and the Heaven and Earth Society are here."
