Volume 1: Yun Family Has A Daughter Chapter 16: Scheming

  About half an hour later, the killing sounds outside gradually stopped. Before long, a man wearing armor and with a tall stature hurried over.

  "Your humble servant greets the three princes!"

  "General Wang is exempt from courtesy! What's going on outside?" King Qing asked eagerly.

  "I beg to report, Your Excellency, that there were forty-eight bandits in total. I originally wanted to capture them alive, but these bandits were extremely vicious and resisted stubbornly. I was unable to subdue them, fearing they would escape, so I had no choice but to kill them all on the spot. Not a single one was taken alive!" General Wang replied truthfully.

  "What? All of them killed? Not a single one survived?" King Qing exclaimed, his face filled with incredulity.

  "Yes!"

  "Wang Shixian, you have a big nerve!" King Qing slammed his hand heavily on the table and bellowed.

  Forty-eight good men died just like that, and King Qing felt a pang of heartache! He vented all his anger on General Wang, hating him so much he wished to chop him up.

  "Second imperial brother, please calm your anger! This kind of villain is indeed arrogant and deserves to die. At this time when the capital is not peaceful, it's just right to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys. Why should imperial brother be so enraged? Could it be that those people are related to imperial brother?"

  Beichen's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of a smile on his face, but the sarcasm in his eyes became even more apparent.

  King Qing heard Beichen Rao's words and was furious, his eyes bulging with anger, as if he wanted to stare a hole through him!

  "We are all brothers, Third Brother was just joking, Second Brother don't be angry, we'll get it back for you later!"

  The King of Qi saw that the atmosphere was not right and feared that the King of Qing would suddenly lose his temper, so he hurriedly mediated.

  "General Yun, just now when I was chasing after the thieves, those thieves were shouting 'Avenge General Huo', could it be that you..."

  "Alas, General Wang, it seems that this matter is still the trouble I buried in the past. In those years on the battlefield, I killed the Turkic general Hu'er, and now it seems that these people have come to avenge him!"

  Yun Zhan sighed and said with extreme sadness.

  "Father, don't be too upset, it's not a matter of life and death on the battlefield! Fortunately, they were only seeking revenge, not assassinating with ulterior motives! Otherwise, if the three princes were here today, outsiders would think that the Yun Manor colluded with external enemies to assassinate the three princes!"

  Mo's words were half true and half false, but they made King Qing and King Qi's flesh creep with fear.

  "Mo Er said that if someone really takes advantage of this to assassinate the three princes, I will be truly unable to avoid blame! The three princes, now the mansion is in a state of chaos, I am unintentionally treating the various princes poorly!"

  Yun Zhan bowed again and opened his mouth to drive people away. Otherwise, if something unexpected happened again, he would not be able to stop it.

  The truth of the matter today, all three knew in their hearts, King Qing couldn't swallow the bitter air in his heart, he flung his sleeve, let out a cold hum, and stormed off.

  The King of Qi watched as the King of Qing walked away and hastily chased after him.

  Yu Wang glanced at Mo Mo and took someone away, also turning around to leave.

  Momo looked at Beichen Ye's back, feeling annoyed, sticking out her tongue and making a face, thinking that this annoying guy had finally left. But unexpectedly, the back of Beichen Ye's head seemed to have grown eyes, as he suddenly turned around, flashing a mysterious smile at her. Momo was caught on the spot, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

  Bei Chen couldn't help but burst out laughing at her adorable yet flustered appearance, while Mo Yan's face turned red with rage as she gritted her teeth.

  After escorting the several large Buddhas back to the main hall with General Wang, he ordered people to guard them and then said:

  "Thanks to you this time!" Yun Zhan patted General Wang's shoulder and said gratefully.

  "General, you're too kind! If it wasn't for you saving me on the battlefield back then, I would have been gone long ago! Today, being able to help the General is an honor I've sought after!"

  General Wang repeatedly declined. At first, he fell into the enemy's sinister plot and was ambushed. If it weren't for General Yun risking his life to rescue him, he would have been dead long ago.

  "How can you mention them in the same breath! If it weren't for your timely arrival today, I'm afraid our family would never have peace again!"

  "Old Master, Uncle Wang, stop dawdling! Hurry up and think of a way to deal with the Emperor tomorrow morning!"

  Mo Mo watched as the two of them thanked each other for a long time, delaying their main business.

  "You little scamp, you have no discipline at all!" Yun Zhan scolded.

  Old man, are you going to settle accounts after autumn? If I were obedient, would you be sure to get away with it today? Mo Mo rolled her eyes and didn't bother to reason with him.

  Mo Mo knew that Yun Zhan had secretly trained a group of people during their meeting, and these people were considered the security guarantee of Yun Fu. It made sense, after all, a great general like him wouldn't possibly have no one by his side.

  Like any other powerful family, it's normal to have some spies and assassins. As long as there aren't too many of them and they're not recruiting troops to rebel, the emperor will turn a blind eye.

  Before presenting the birthday gift, Mo sprinkled some sleeping powder on the book. When approaching the old lady, she administered an injection, making the old lady's face look extremely pale, leading people to believe that the old lady had suddenly contracted a serious illness. This way, there was an excuse to send away all the guests who came to celebrate her birthday, avoiding chaos after the incident.

  Mo Mo guessed that if Bei Chen Ye and the others left in an orderly manner, nothing would happen. However, none of them left, so they had no choice but to implement the next step.

  Yun Zhan ordered Guan Ping to arrange those people. The sounds of killing in the main hall were his men pretending, just to disturb the vision of the assassins hiding near Yunfu.

  Originally, Mo Mo and Yun Zhan thought that the best person to invite would be King Qing's people. If they couldn't come, then so be it. Unexpectedly, in the end, someone sent out King Qing's unique reinforcement signal. As a result, King Qing's men didn't suspect anything and assumed King Qing had other arrangements, so they all came to reinforce.

  Finally, when the Imperial Guard was surrounded, they realized they had been deceived. In order to prevent Qing Wang from framing them intentionally, they threatened Yun Zhan. As a result, before the battle of Yun Zhan, he ordered that no one be left alive, considering those people as Turks who came for revenge.

  Mo and Yun Zhan sat in the main hall, listening to their subordinates' reports, looking at each other in dismay. Who had sent out the reinforcement signal? The two of them were very clear in their minds, but they didn't know what that guy was thinking, besides weakening King Qing's power, what else was he planning.

  But this time, they really wronged Beichen Ye.

  ……

  Yu Wang Fu

  In the spacious study, Beichen Ye sat alone in the chair beside his desk, holding in his hand the intelligence that Anying had sent back a few days ago.

  "This girl doesn't look like she's just eleven years old!"

  Bei Chen's voice was low and husky, full of a bewildering flavor.

  Today he deliberately let her go, playing the same trick as King Qing, and it would be great to take advantage of the opportunity to capture Yun Zhan. If not, let Yun Zhan severely injure King Qing, and completely turn against King Qing, which is also fine.

  To his surprise, this girl actually came up with a solution in a short period of time. Although the method didn't seem brilliant to him, at least they were able to escape, weren't they?

  It was certain that this plan was thought up by the young lady, also because he knew very well that Yun Zhan couldn't use Yun Lao Furen, and even more so because he saw Yun Zhan glare fiercely at her when Yun Lao Furen fainted, which made him even more certain that it was the young lady's evil idea.

  "Your Majesty, I have found out where Feng Yu is!"

  At this time, the voice of the shadow sounded.

  Digression

  Originally this plot had only two chapters, but two chapters were not enough, so I added another chapter.

  Do you think it's too wordy? Should I condense it further?

  Alright, the wonderful home struggle is about to begin, how will our heroine respond?

  By the way, you guys don't comment, so I have no idea if you like it or not.
