Reborn Female Assassin Falls in Love with Tsundere Little Prince

Seeing that there was no one around, the King of Yue said straight to the point: "Your Majesty, we are all open-minded people. If I guess correctly, Xu Yin is in Qianfan City now, right?"

Yan Kaiyu didn't intend to hide it, nor could he. He guessed that this man was very cunning and not a simple person, so he said bluntly: "Yes, could it be that the King of Yue is very interested in him?"

"He's just a piece of trash. I'm not interested in him. I'm only interested in another person." The King of Yue smiled meaningfully and said, "Your Majesty, why not take a guess?"

Yan Kaiyu's mind raced, and a name popped up in his mind. He said, "Zhang Lin."

The King of Yue said briskly, "I like dealing with smart people. Your Majesty is such a person. He can guess what I am saying."

"He's not missing, he's been caught by you."

"That's right. In fact, I already knew there was a very secret path in the back mountain of Qingcheng. On the day of conquering the city, I sent Fang Cheng to ambush there, captured him, and imprisoned him outside the city." He continued calmly, "Zhang Lin is a famous general in the world after all. I can't bear to let him die like that. We should make the best use of things, and the same goes for people."

Yan Kaiyu suddenly realized, "You knew about that secret path, but you didn't tell your emperor. Your purpose was to make Zai Kuo fail in attacking the city many times, so that Chu Tianjie would doubt his ability to lead troops, and then you could sow discord between the two of them."

The King of Yue showed an approving expression and clapped his hands, "Hahaha... If my emperor was half as smart as you, I'm afraid I would have died long ago."

Yan Kaiyu deliberately threatened: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell your emperor about what we talked about today?"

The King of Yue said nonchalantly: "I believe Your Majesty will not do this, because I know very well that you wish that idiot to be the emperor for life."

Yan Kaiyu indeed thought so. A tyrant king posed no threat. However, the man in front of him had never shown any edge before, but today he was impressive.

"Let's talk. What do you want to exchange for Xu Yin? After all, with him, you can easily recruit Zhang Lin into your team."

The King of Yue did not speak directly, but just said: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious, go into the city first, you have been traveling for many days, you are not tired, but your little wife is tired."

Yan Kaiyu thought that his wife was indeed tired, so he decided to go into the city and think about it again.

He looked at the man's back. It was the first time he had dealt with him, and he couldn't guess what he was thinking. He was just sure in his heart that this was a very difficult opponent and not easy to deal with.

In Jianwen City, the King of Yue brought the four people to the residence arranged in advance for envoys from various countries, and then left in a hurry.

Yan Kaiyu treated his wound and went into the room. He was as anxious as he was usually calm. After all, so much time had passed and there was still no news from Qingyue and Dongting.

Shangguan Zimeng brought the medicine that the doctor had just prepared. Seeing his worried look, she asked with concern, "My husband, your face has not looked better since you finished talking to the King of Yue. Is there any bad news?"

He shook his head and sighed, "There is no news at all. This is what is most worrying."

"Qingyue and the others are so powerful, they will definitely be fine."

"I hope so."

She blew on the medicine in her hand and handed it to him, "Drink the medicine first, so your injury will heal faster."

He drank it all obediently, still thinking about the conversation between the two of them, afraid that he had missed anything.

Shangguan Zimeng sat beside him and asked curiously, "Husband, is this King of Yue very powerful?"

"Before today, all I knew about him was that he was an unknown prince, and nothing else. It was only after dealing with him today that I realized that he was a powerful person, who was so good at hiding that he deceived me and my second brother."

"Why do you say that?"

Yan Kaiyu patiently explained to her, "My second brother is actually the leader of the spies stationed in Jianwen City. He has been responsible for secretly investigating and collecting information about the Cambodian royal family. We used to think that he was mediocre and didn't pay much attention to him. Now we know that he is the most deadly opponent."

Shangguan Zimeng suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. He is a typical example of playing the pig to eat the tiger."

"That's what I mean."

"So how do we deal with him?"

"there is always a solution to a problem."

He didn't know much about him and could only respond to changes by remaining unchanged.

For some reason, he always felt uneasy.

……

In the cellar of the Prince of Yue's Palace.

The King of Yue looked at the man who remained calm despite the collapse of Mount Tai in front of him and could not help but praise him, "Now I know why Yan Kaiyu sent you here. With such a tenacious and calm mentality, you are indeed suitable to be a spy."

Yan Tingran smiled calmly. He always maintained an optimistic attitude when facing life and death. He only regretted that he had not recognized this man's face earlier, which led to his arrest today.

He lifted his hair from his eyes and asked with a smile, "You already knew my identity, but you only came to arrest me today. I wonder why? Please tell me, so that I can die with peace of mind."
