Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 1873 - 438: Night Raid on the Prime Minister’s Mansion (Part 3)

This matter, Lu Feng is the executor, and the one who planned it all is that traitor Tuotuo!At this moment, Zhang Dingbian looked at Kang Maocai with reddened eyes and said: "Junior Brother, assassinating the Prime Minister of the current dynasty, this matter surely spells doom, how about you go back first, someone needs to inherit the Yue Family Spear."

Upon hearing this, Kang Maocai said: "Senior Brother, we’ve come to this point, do you think I can back out now?"

"Besides, among our brothers, my spear technique is the weakest; if I survive to inherit the Yue Family Spear, our Yue Family Spear might be ridiculed."

"So, if we’re talking inheritance, you’re the strongest, so how about you leave, and I’ll stay to assassinate Tuotuo; after all, Tuotuo’s strength is just at the Energy Transformation level, I may still have a chance."

Zhang Dingbian said: "Junior Brother, this is no joke, you only have the strength of the Dragon Realm, Tuotuo is surrounded by experts, how can you manage, and besides, we’re not just here to kill Tuotuo, but also that scoundrel Lu Feng!"

"Senior Brother, since you can’t persuade me, and I can’t persuade you, let’s stick to the original plan."

Kang Maocai said.

Zhang Dingbian looked at Kang Maocai with a bitter smile and said: "Your stubborn nature never changes, but Junior Brother, once we act, whether we succeed or not, we must escape separately, and whoever survives must take good care of our young sister disciple in the future."

"Yes, it’s a deal."

The two exchanged glances, considering it a mutual entrustment.

After making the promise, they exchanged glances once more, then looked at the guards of the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

The guards at the Prime Minister’s Mansion were quite strict, with no blind spots in all directions, and even the dead angles of the mansion had watchtowers to prevent anyone from sneaking in from the rooftops.

Zhang Dingbian looked around and said: "The defense here is indeed tight."

While saying this, Kang Maocai was checking the surroundings, particularly the guards changing shifts.

"Senior Brother, I just checked, it takes the patrol team of the Prime Minister’s Mansion one hundred and twenty-three breaths to move from here to there, then they turn around."

Zhang Dingbian said: "Hmm, those two watchtowers are yours, these two are mine; we’ll first kill those in the watchtowers, then find an opportunity to kill that scoundrel Tuotuo."

"Okay."

Kang Maocai responded, and the two began to move. Watching them, Chen Jie furrowed his brows, a hint of unfathomable emotion between them.

The Commandery Princess saw Chen Jie’s condition and asked: "What’s wrong?"

Chen Jie pondered for a moment, then pointed at the Prime Minister’s Mansion and said: "Don’t you think the defense at the Prime Minister’s Mansion is unusually lax?"

The Commandery Princess said: "Not really, our Prince Mansion is usually like this too, nothing unusual about it!"

Chen Jie shook his head upon hearing this: "You just mentioned the patrol situation here is the same as at your Prince Mansion, but now with the Jianghu people all over the city, isn’t it logical for the Prime Minister’s Mansion to tighten its security a bit?"

"Security?"

The Commandery Princess looked at Chen Jie in surprise, asking what he meant by security.

Chen Jie looked at the Commandery Princess and explained: "It’s the number of guards; with so many Jianghu people in the city, including experts, even if Tuotuo holds a high position, he shouldn’t neglect defense."

"He’s not the Living Buddha Basiba, possessing an Earthly Immortal Realm strength that could shrug off these Jianghu people, and his power isn’t particularly strong. Although backed by national fortune, the strongest power of national fortune is only Force Transmutation."

"Meaning that anyone below the Energy Transformation level martial artists has a chance to kill him."

"Right, he does have Energy Transformation strength, so thinking two martial artists below Energy Transformation can kill him is unrealistic, but the risk is high."

"If I were Tuotuo, I definitely wouldn’t rely on past defensive standards."

Zhao Ya thought for a moment after hearing this and said: "Are you saying it’s loose outside but tight inside, and he’s fishing?"

Chen Jie lightly nodded and said: "Yes, loose outside but tight inside, he’s fishing!"

"Then wouldn’t Zhang Dingbian and the others be in great danger?"

Zhao Ya instantly realized, and Chen Jie frowned slightly and said: "Yaya, wait here for a moment, I’ll go have a look."

Zhao Ya said: "Be careful."

Chen Jie said: "If I don’t return, meet me at the theater in South City."

Zhao Ya nodded and said: "If it doesn’t work out, escape, don’t risk your life for Zhang Dingbian’s sake."

Chen Jie said: "I know, I’m taking the risk not just for Zhang Dingbian, but mainly to see if my old father-in-law is held within the Prime Minister’s Mansion."

Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie and said: "Still, be careful, I don’t want to lose my husband for the sake of my father."

Chen Jie said: "Don’t worry, unless I encounter Basiba, I can escape; no one else can stop me."

Having said that, Chen Jie used the Moving Technique of Heaven and Earth Transposition, his figure ghostly, vanished in place, and Zhao Ya looked at the disappearing Chen Jie with a face full of worry, knowing that with her current capabilities, being involved would be tantamount to courting death and would only hinder Chen Jie from exerting his full strength.

Thus, it’s better not to follow and completely trust her husband.

Chen Jie kept pace rapidly behind Zhang Dingbian and Kang Maocai.

At this moment, the two eyed their targets, then accelerated, appearing like bats in the night, flapping swiftly towards the opposite watchtower.

The watchtower, a sentry post erected at the corners of the courtyard, used for sentry duty.

Now, they rushed to the watchtower, with Zhang Dingbian first landing on one, where a sentinel with a bow and arrow stood, ready to shoot if anything went awry.
