Hundred Flowers Tower. UppTodatd frm n/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m
Today, many customers arrived at the entrance of Hundred Flowers Tower only to find the doors tightly shut, with a sign placed at the doorway. The sign bore a message that the Hundred Flowers Tower would be temporarily closed for renovations in preparation for the Oiran contest happening in half a month.
This sort of event was not unusual; the reason Hundred Flowers Tower could maintain its status as the liveliest place in Yan County was precisely because of its constant upgrades and renovations, always offering fresh and exciting experiences to its customers.
Moreover, with each upgrade and renovation, a number of beautiful young women would arrive, and the anticipation for this renovation stimulated the clientele of the Hundred Flowers Tower.
Of course, this renovation of Hundred Flowers Tower was not a true renovation but because the guests from Blood Moon Tower had arrived.
At this moment, upstairs in the Hundred Flowers Tower, a man wearing a bamboo hat was gazing in the direction of the North Prince Mansion.
Wang Qingci sat on a divan with her slender legs crossed, with her derriere slightly indenting the couch.
Liu Yuan spoke at this moment, Thank you, Miss Wang, for giving me the opportunity to take revenge with my own hands.
In Liu Yuans eyes, if Misty Pavilion wanted to move against the North Prince, without that Mysterious Grandmaster, it was entirely possible for them to kill the North Prince.
But they had not taken action and were waiting until the arrival of Blood Moon Towers guests to start discussing how to assassinate the North Prince, which presented an opportunity for Blood Moon Tower to act.
Wang Qingci said with a smile, Tower Master Liu, I did not wait until today for your sake, but to ensure that this assassination can be executed without fail.
Liu Yuan said, No matter how Miss Wang sees it, objectively you have still provided me with an opportunity.
At this moment, Liu Yuan was burning with the desire to charge into the North Prince Mansion and behead the North Prince personally.
It was possible that his younger brother, Liu Tong, had been killed by the Mysterious Grandmaster of the North Prince Mansion, but he still attributed this debt to the North Prince.
The reason was simple. Firstly, he might not be a match for that Mysterious Grandmaster, and secondly, since Liu Tong died attempting to assassinate the North Prince, it was related to the North Prince.
Since the Mysterious Grandmaster could neither be found nor defeated, venting his anger by killing the North Prince was the only option.
Originally, he thought that the task of assassinating the useless Prince would be easy, so he sent his own brother. However, the next time he saw Liu Tong, his brothers body was already charred.
If the North Prince did not die at his hands, his deep-seated hatred would be difficult to quell.
At this time, Wang Qingci asked, Tower Master Liu, are you planning to take action tonight?
Liu Yuan said, Yes, I can hardly wait to decapitate the North Prince and appease the spirit of my brother in heaven.
Wang Qingci said, Very well, tonight, our Misty Pavilion will fully support Blood Moon Tower. If there is anything you need, Tower Master Liu, just let us know.
Liu Yuan asked, Miss Wang, just to be sure, could you confirm once more that the Mysterious Grandmaster following the North Prince to the Princes Mansion has indeed left?
Wang Qingci said with a smile, I have visited the Princes Mansion multiple times just to investigate this matter. According to the intelligence Ive gathered, it seems that the Mysterious Grandmaster has indeed left the Princes Mansion and returned to the Chu Family.
Liu Yuan said, If thats the case, then nothing could be better.
Wang Qingci continued with a smile, Tower Master Liu, even if the intelligence collected by our Misty Pavilion might be false, you need not worry too much.
Even if the Mysterious Grandmaster returns to the North Prince Mansion, with your strength, holding him off should be no problem.
While you keep him occupied, we can certainly take care of the North Prince.
After a moments thought, Liu Yuan found Wang Qingcis words sensible.
After all, this time they had five Ninth Grade Martial Artists and one Half-step Grandmaster.
If you exclude that Mysterious Grandmaster, the North Prince Mansion has only one Ninth Grade, Chu Yuqin.
A single Ninth Grade simply cannot hold back six Ninth Grades.
So, tonight the North Prince is doomed to die!
Even if that Mysterious Grandmaster comes, it will be of no use!
At this moment, Wang Qingci pulled out a map of the North Prince Mansion, This is the map of the North Prince Mansion. Tonight, during our operation, our Misty Pavilions people will directly head to the back courtyard to block North Princes escape routes. As for the affairs of the front courtyard, we will leave them to Blood Moon Tower to handle. What do you think about this plan, Vice Tower Master Liu?
If Vice Tower Master Liu has any other ideas, feel free to propose them.
Liu Yuan thought for a moment, and then said, Very well, lets do as Miss Wang has said.
However, if Chu Yuqin tries to stop me at that time, could I trouble Miss Wang to hold her off for a moment, so that I can take the North Princes head?
Chu Yuqin was a difficult person to deal with; if she came out to stop him from killing Lu Chen, he might need some time to get rid of her entanglement.
Although he could have other Ninth Grade assassins kill Lu Chen, Liu Yuan much preferred to do it himself.
Wang Qingci said, There is no problem with that.
After that, Wang Qingci added, Alright, then lets each make our preparations.
Meanwhile,
In the North Prince Mansion.
When Blood Moon Tower arrived at the Hundred Flowers Tower, Lu Chen received the message passed on by Wang Qingci, and immediately began arranging troops and setting up an ambush within the Princes Mansion.
This time, he distributed a total of twenty grenades to the soldiers, which was completely sufficient to deal with Liu Yuan and his men.
And they were not to throw grenades immediately; first, they would wait until Blood Moon Towers people entered the ambush circle before the soldiers would shoot arrows.
If they were well-ambushed, even if the realm of people coming with Liu Yuan was at least Third or Fourth Grade, most of them would be shot to death by arrows.
The grenades were mainly for dealing with those five Ninth Grade assassins and the Vice Tower Master of Blood Moon Tower.
In order to prevent his three pregnant wives, including Mu Zixuan, from being frightened, Lu Chen had moved them to a hidden passage within the Princes Mansion ahead of time.
Once everything was ready, it was just a matter of waiting for nightfall.
The cold night wind howled.
There was no moon or stars tonight; thick clouds accumulated overhead, as if the sky were about to collapse.
At this time, the entire North Prince Mansion was eerily quiet, with nothing but the sound of the wind.
Time passed, and then, a group of people dressed in black burst directly through the main gate of the Princes Mansion.
When Liu Yuan and his men entered the Princes Mansion, they found not a single person at the gate, not even a patrolling trusted aide.
This made Liu Yuan feel a sudden sense of unease.
It was impossible for such a large Princes Mansion to have no guards at all.
Its possible that the North Prince had gotten wind of their arrival and escaped in advance!
At that moment, Liu Yuan didnt even consider the possibility of the North Prince Mansion setting up an ambush for them, after all, the Ninth Grade Martial Artists they brought this time were numerous, and they didnt take a mere Princes Mansion seriously at all.
In Liu Yuans view, even if the North Prince Mansion knew they were coming, the North Prince would only be scared into fleeing, not setting up an ambush for them.
Unless the North Prince had lost his mind, he wouldnt do such a thing.
At this point, Liu Yuans face darkened.
If the North Prince really had escaped, then killing the North Prince might take some more time.
The Capital city couldnt wait, and he himself didnt want to waste any more time.
Then Liu Yuan said to his subordinates, Search for me! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, find the North Prince for me!
