Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 208

Chapter 208: Kill Someone With A Borrowed Knife
Seeing the letter in Jian Er’s hand, Jian Yi simply asked, “Did Master send us a new instruction?”

Jian Er shook his head, handed the letter to Jian Yi, and said, “This letter is from Duan Qinwangfei.”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Jian Yi and others changed. While Jian Yi read the letter, Jian Er and the other captains waited patiently.

After a while, Jian Yi put the letter on the table and said, “Duan Qinwangfei wants to meet Emperor Yong’an.”

Hearing this, except for Jian Er, who already knew the content of the letter, the other captains frowned. After a moment of silence, Jian San asked, “Lao Da, what are you going to do?”

Jian Yi stared at the letter, thought for a while, and said, “Send this letter to Emperor Yong’an and let him make his own decision.”

Since Xuan Ruiquan is not here, Jian Yi has the highest status, and everyone else listens to him. After making the decision, Jian Yi handed the letter to Jian Liu and said, “Lao Liu, your lightness skill is the best among us. You should send this letter to Emperor Yong’an.”

“Yes, Lao Da.” Liu Jian took the letter and left.

Seeing Jian Jiu deep in thought, Jian Yi asked, “Lao Jiu, what are you thinking about?”

Jian Jiu came back from his thoughts and said, “Duan Qinwangfei wants to see Emperor Yong’an. This is very suspicious. This may be a trap set by Duan Qinwang to assassinate Emperor Yong’an before the summer banquet.”

“This is unlikely.” Jian Wu suddenly said.

Hearing this, Jian Jiu looked at Jian Wu and asked, “Why did you say that?”

Jian Wu did not answer him but went to a cabinet on the wall to get a wooden box. He placed the wooden box engraved with Duan Qinwangfei’s name on the table and opened it.

He then took out a stack of documents from the box, distributed them to others, and said, “Unlike what she showed in front of everyone, Ye Huiyu may have deep resentment towards her father, Prime Minister Ye, and Duan Qinwang.”

After reading the information, Jian San said, “So you are saying that because Prime Minister Ye forced her to marry Duan Qinwang and killed her lover, Ye Huiyu wanted to join forces with Emperor Yong’an to kill Duan Qinwang?”

Jian Wu nodded, “Not only that. I guess she might also want to use Master’s hand to kill the Prime Minister so that she can get rid of the charge of unfilial toward her father. Otherwise, she would not have sent this letter to us but would have directly sent it to Emperor Yong’an.”

Hearing this, Jian Ba sneered and coldly said, “How nice it is to kill someone with a borrowed knife. She wants to take advantage of our Master? She needs to see if she has this ability first.”

Seeing Jian Ba’s cruel face, Jian Yi said, “Lao Ba, calm down. We should first see what she wants to do and then decide how to deal with her. Now, be prepared to protect Emperor Yong’an. If something happens to him while our Master is away, when our Master comes back, we may all have to stay in the black tower for three years.”

Hearing this, Jian Er and the others trembled. They clasped their fists and solemnly said, “Yes, Lao Da.”

Led by Jian Yi, the secret guards prepared secretly. At the same time, Jian Liu had arrived in the imperial palace. Seeing that the light in the imperial study room in Yang Xin Palace was still lit, he knew that Emperor Yong’an hadn’t rested yet.

Jian Liu waited until the maidservants and eunuchs came out after delivering dinner to Emperor Yong’an, activating his lightness skills and sneaking into the imperial study.

When he appeared in front of Emperor Yong’an, Emperor Yong’an was startled and reflexively threw his chopsticks at Jian Liu. Seeing the chopsticks fly at a fast speed towards him, Jian Liu calmly tilted his head slightly and avoided them smoothly.

Stab! Stab!

The chopsticks pierced the huge red pillar and trembled for a few seconds before stopping. Emperor Yong’an calmed down when he saw that the intruder was a member of Xuan Ruiquan’s secret guard. He looked at the Qilin’s image carved in the right corner of the black mask and knew who he was.

Emperor Yong’an smiled and asked, “Jian Liu, why are you here?”

Jian Liu took out the letter and said, “I’m here to deliver this letter to you, Your Majesty.”

Emperor Yong’an took the letter and asked, “Why did A Quan suddenly send a letter to Zhen?”

“It’s not from my Master, but from Duan Qinwangfei.” Liu Jian said calmly.

When Emperor Yong’an heard this, he raised his brows slightly and said with a hint of interest in his voice, “Duan Qinwangfei? This is really an expected surprise.”

Jian Liu waited until Emperor Yong’an read the letter before asking, “Does Your Majesty want to see her?”

Emperor Yong’an put away the letter and smiled, “Of course. Why should Zhen refuse her invitation?”

Jian Liu was not interested in Emperor Yong’an’s thoughts. With the mission completed, Jian Liu clasped his fists and said, “Now that the letter has been sent, I will take my leave first.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jian Liu disappeared. Emperor Yong’an tapped his slender fingers lightly on the table and fell into deep thought. After a few minutes, he said, “An Yi.”

An Yi appeared and knelt in front of him, “Master, what are your orders?”

Emperor Yong’an smiled and said, “Get ready to go out. Zhen wants to see what Duan Qinwangfei wants from Zhen.”

“Yes, Master.” After An Yi said that, he disappeared.

After An Yi left, Emperor Yong’an looked at the food in front of him and felt that tonight’s food looked quite delicious.

After Emperor Yong’an decided to meet with Ye Huiyu, someone sneaked into Duan Qinwang’s Mansion. When the man landed lightly on the roof of a building in Ye Huiyu’s courtyard, he waited when he saw a group of maidservants come with food. When all the maidservants entered the main hall, the man threw a dagger.

Stab!
