Chapter 2069 Go and talk to the King of Hell
There was a sound of brisk footsteps outside the courtyard gate. Yinding, carrying a scimitar on his back and smiling with a round face, walked over quickly: "Prince and Princess."
Yan Ruyu nodded and turned her gaze to the corner of the courtyard: "Scarface is over there, you go take care of him."
The smile on Yinding's face faded, and his eyes became sharper, but he didn't ask any more questions and just replied "Okay".
Yan Ruyu added, "After you go back, tell Liu Jiulang that Scarface was being stubborn and Su Zhenhai hadn't gotten anything out of him yet. You took advantage of the chaos and set fire to the mansion, injuring several guards before silencing him."
Yinding smiled happily: "Yes, I understand."
Yan Ruyu nodded: "Go ahead, be neat."
Yinding responded and walked towards the corner of the yard with a knife on his back.
Huo Changhe looked at his back and said to Yan Ruyu, "Let's go check out tomorrow's defense map. The sacrifice will begin at noon tomorrow."
Yan Ruyu nodded, and the two of them walked towards the study.
The scarred man in the yard just breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of luck on his face.
He felt that he might still have a chance to survive - after all, he was just a small figure, and he had said that he had no choice. He pushed all the responsibility onto Liu Jiulang, saying that he was forced to do so. Maybe the King of Zhennan would let him go.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a little fat man with a knife on his back walking towards me.
Scarface's heart skipped a beat. The little fat boy looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
He forced himself to remain calm and put on a smile: "Young man, are you here to let me go?"
Yinding walked up to him and stood still, looking him up and down before speaking: "Any last words?"
The smile on Scarface's face froze instantly, and his expression changed a little bit: "What are you going to do?"
Yinding spoke in a relaxed tone, but his hand was on the hilt of the knife behind him: "Do you think you can escape by removing all the dirt?"
Scarface panicked and struggled to run, but he was tied tightly with ropes and could only twist in vain: "Don't do anything stupid!"
Upon hearing this, Yinding slowly took off the scimitar from his back. The blade reflected the light, making the scarred man squint his eyes.
Yinding sneered, "How can this be nonsense? Liu Jiulang asked me to send you off."
Scarface was stunned, his eyes widened, and he looked at the silver ingot carefully. He suddenly remembered that when the two sides were fighting, this little fat man was in Liu Jiulang's camp.
It was chaotic at the time, but the little fat boy was particularly skilled, so he noticed it.
"You're Liu Jiulang's man!" Scarface shouted, but then he felt something was wrong. "No, if you were Liu Jiulang's man, why would you be in the Zhennan King's courtyard? Could it be that... Liu Jiulang is hooking up with the Zhennan King?"
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Liu Jiulang had always been close to Governor Ding, and he always said that the Prince of Zhennan was "the King of Hell who must not be provoked." How could he suddenly be involved with the Prince of Zhennan?
Yinding found his tangled look amusing and smiled with his teeth bared: "Liu Jiulang? He's not worthy of it!"
This sentence was like a thunderclap, which froze Scarface for a moment, and then he suddenly came to his senses - no wonder they had been having bad luck recently, no wonder Water Stronghold was in constant trouble, it turned out that the power of Prince Zhennan had long infiltrated Rongzhou!
In the eyes of Governor Ding and Liu Jiulang, Rongzhou was their territory, like an impregnable fortress. But in the eyes of Prince Zhennan, this fortress was nothing but a sieve, and their every move had long been under their watch.
Scarface felt a surge of despair in his heart. He opened his mouth, wanting to beg for mercy, but Yinding didn't give him a chance. He narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "I'm fed up. I asked you for your last words just now, but you didn't tell me. Now it's too late. Go down and tell the King of Hell."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yinding moved his wrist and a knife flashed.
Scarface felt a chill on his neck, and the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't even make a sound.
His last sight was of blood spreading all over the sky - it was his own blood. Then everything went black and he was completely dead.
Yinding put away the knife, wiped the blade with a cloth, picked up the head and turned to walk towards the study.
At this moment in the study, Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu were sitting around the table looking at the defense map.
On the drawing spread out on the table, the guard positions of each city gate in Rongzhou were marked with red pen. The two men were discussing when the voices of guards came from outside the door.
"Your Highness, the envoy from Su City requests an audience. He has something to report."
Huo Changhe put down his pen: "Let him in."
Su Zhenhai pushed the door open and was about to report when he quickly glanced at the two people in front of the table.
He had heard of Huo Changhe's reputation for many years, but had never heard that the prince would let the other person take the lead in the opinion when looking at the defense map with him. Just now, he vaguely heard outside the door that it was the young doctor who made the suggestion, and the prince nodded in agreement.
Before, he only knew that he was a doctor with good medical skills and had treated the prince's injuries. Could it be because of this that the prince valued him so much?
Su Zhenhai was surprised, but he didn't show it on his face. He bowed and said, "Your Highness, Young Doctor, I have arranged the personnel for tomorrow's duty according to your instructions."
Huo Changhe nodded and asked Yan Ruyu, "Anything else you want to add?"
Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "Su Cheng has been using soldiers for many years. This little thing won't go wrong. There's nothing to add."
Su Zhenhai was even more surprised when he heard this - the prince actually asked for the young doctor's opinion?
Huo Changhe said to Su Zhenhai: "In that case, let's proceed according to the plan."
Su Zhenhai quickly responded, "Yes."
Just as he was about to turn around, he heard footsteps outside the door again. Yin Ding walked in and said with a smile, "Your Highness, Scarface has been dealt with. Don't worry, it was dealt with cleanly. I didn't bring the head in to avoid polluting your eyes."
Huo Changhe nodded and warned: "When you go back and tell Liu Jiulang about your departure, don't make any mistakes. If there is any movement, send a message in time."
"I know!" Yin Ding replied straightforwardly, and then said, "Then I'll go back to Liu Jiulang's house first. If I'm late, he'll get suspicious."
Huo Changhe waved his hand to let him go. Yinding turned around and smiled at Su Zhenhai as he passed by him.
Su Zhenhai stood there, his head buzzing - was that little fat guy just now the prince's man?
But he had just heard Yinding say, "Go back to Liu Jiulang's house." Could it be that Yinding had been hiding in the Liu mansion all along? The prince had actually placed someone with Liu Jiulang long ago!
The more Su Zhenhai thought about it, the more frightened he became, and there was a bit more awe in his eyes when he looked at Yan Ruyu - even the planting of an undercover agent was probably planned by the young doctor and the prince together, he was definitely not just a doctor.
Yan Ruyu said, "Envoy Su, there is one more thing I need your help with."
Su Zhenhai came back to his senses and became even more respectful to Yan Ruyu: "Please give your instructions."
Yan Ruyu smiled faintly: "Send two teams to chase after him. Don't let Yin Ding get away too easily."
"Also, find some more wood to pile up and set on fire."
Su Zhenhai suddenly realized: "Yes, I'll do it right away."
Soon, shouts and screams were heard in the yard and flames shot up into the sky.
