Chapter 4: Newcomers to the Universe Chapter 49: Assassinating Cheng Yanran
Cheng Yanran looked at Yu Feng's departing back with a distorted expression.
"Father, I treat you as my father, but what do you think of me as?" Cheng Yanran said silently, "I am in the imperial capital, surrounded by dangers, and I can only mobilize a few hundred people. But Yu Feng, a dog under your command, can mobilize the people around me at any time."
"Yu Feng is your dog, and I am worse than a dog!"
Cheng Yanran's eyes were cold, "So, you can't blame the child for some things."
At this moment, the one-armed woman entered the house.
"Yao'er." Cheng Yanran spoke.
"Your Highness?" The one-armed woman looked at Cheng Yanran. She felt that something was wrong with Cheng Yanran's expression.
"I need Master to mobilize a group of 'Red Lotus Messengers' to obey my orders." Cheng Yanran said.
"Not enough manpower?" the one-armed woman was surprised.
Cheng Yanran nodded: "Yu Feng has transferred thirty top-notch experts from me one after another! I am extremely short of manpower around me."
"Okay, I will contact Master immediately." The one-armed woman said, "But it will be very difficult to mobilize a team of Red Lotus Messengers to obey your command completely."
"I will give Master 50,000 taels of silver." Cheng Yanran said.
The one-armed woman's eyes lit up: "With the status of Master and His Highness, and spending another 50,000 taels of silver, it should be no problem."
…
Two days later, night fell.
A team of horse-drawn carriages quietly left Prince Yan's Palace, followed by only twelve guards.
As the carriage moved forward, it swayed slightly due to the bumps and jolts. There were three people in the carriage, Cheng Yanran, the one-armed woman, and a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man had a long and thin face. He sat on one side with his eyes closed to rest.
“Your Highness, since our Master is willing to summon you, then mobilizing a team of Red Lotus Messengers is a sure thing.” The one-armed woman consoled with a smile.
Cheng Yanran nodded gently: "In the blink of an eye, it has been more than two years since I last saw Master. Master, did you come to the imperial capital specifically for my matter this time?"
"I heard there is something else important." said the one-armed woman.
Cheng Yanran didn't ask any more questions.
…
On a roof in the distance, Liu Hai, dressed in black, was inconspicuous in the dark night. He watched the carriage leave the Prince of Yan's Mansion from afar.
"The Prince of Yan has finally left the palace." Liu Hai nodded slightly. He immediately realized that he had left the bloody rain world and sent a message to Xu Jingming, Pang Ze and Tu Ling through the virtual world network.
And at this moment.
In a restaurant, Xu Jingming and Pang Ze were having dinner. In recent days, Pang Ze spent most of his time in the Blood Rain World, paying attention to changes in the situation.
"Cheng Yanran, leave the palace!" Liu Hai's voice rang directly in Xu Jingming and Pang Ze's minds.
In the virtual world network, you can receive important external messages at any time! For example, if you receive a contact from a "relative" or "important customer", you will receive the message immediately no matter which virtual world you are in.
"He finally came out." Pang Ze smiled. "If he keeps hiding in the palace, we will be forced to attack the palace before the end of the employment period. The palace is heavily guarded with hundreds of experts. The possibility of success is extremely low if we force an attack."
Xu Jingming nodded: "Cheng Yanran likes to flirt with other women, and is not the type who can stand loneliness."
"If I'm not mistaken, there are fewer experts around him than usual, " Pang Ze said.
Xu Jingming nodded: "The Blood Rain Guards have been discussing recently that Yicui Tower has been temporarily closed, and the Prince of Yan's men are chasing the thieves like crazy. The people in charge of the pursuit are a large group of top masters. The Blood Rain Guards have recognized that some of the top masters are from the Prince of Yan's Mansion."
"The power of the Prince of Yan is mainly in the north. It is normal ." Pang Ze stood up, "It's time to close the net."
Xu Jingming also stood up.
The net is closing!
This net is aimed at the big fish Cheng Yanran.
…
Cheng Yanran sat in the car, still calm and not worried at all.
Since he had encountered several assassination attempts, no one had come to assassinate him for a long time. The entire imperial capital knew that it was very difficult to assassinate the Prince of Yan.
Of course, Cheng Yanran did not take Zhang Ke's attack on the street into account, because he did not pose any threat at all!
"Your Highness, we're here." A voice came from outside.
Cheng Yanran opened the curtains and saw a quiet house in front of her.
"Go in." Cheng Yanran ordered.
So, the twelve guards and the carriage entered the quiet house together. After letting everyone in, the gatekeeper of the house closed the door.
"The carriage entered a house." Tu Ling, who looked like an ordinary woman, glanced from a distance, and her consciousness instantly left the bloody rain world and transmitted the message to the outside world.
…
In a quiet courtyard.
An old man with disheveled hair sat cross-legged in the main seat, eating meat and drinking wine.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for successfully finding the seventh treasure map." The tall and thin man on the side said with a smile.
"Yichou." The old man with messy hair glanced at him, "I know what you are thinking. Don't worry, I was able to find this treasure map, and you have made a great contribution! I guarantee that you will be promoted to the position of guardian."
The tall and thin man was delighted when he heard this: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Nine treasure maps, each of which was duplicated three times." The old man with messy hair said, "So there is still a great hope of collecting all nine treasure maps. You are very capable in treasure hunting. Keep working hard and find the next treasure map. If you can really dig up the treasure of the previous dynasty, the sect will definitely not treat you unfairly."
"Yes." The tall and thin man was also full of fighting spirit.
The old man with messy hair suddenly raised his eyebrows: "My apprentice is here."
soon--
Cheng Yanran, the one-armed woman, and the middle-aged man all came.
"Saint Envoy Xun." The old man with messy hair nodded to the middle-aged man.
"The King of Swords." The middle-aged man also nodded.
The Sword King is one of the Sword Kings of the Red Lotus Sect. He holds a very high status in the sect and is famous for his swordsmanship.
Xun Shengshi was originally an idle top-notch expert, and was hired by Cheng Yanran at a great cost! Because of Cheng Yanran's relationship, Xun Shengshi came into contact with the Red Lotus Sect and was invited to take on the so-called "Holy Envoy" position.
In fact, this position is similar to a guest official, with a relatively high status but no real power.
"Master." Cheng Yanran and the one-armed woman both bowed.
"Yanran, Yao'er." The old man with messy hair ordered, "Sit down."
…
Outside this quiet house, there were also masters secretly protecting Cheng Yanran and waiting silently.
At this moment, a hundred second-rate masters were completely dispersed, all dressed like ordinary people, and gradually approached the house from streets and alleys in all directions.
At the same time, Xu Jingming led three eighth-level masters and sixty first-rate masters to act together.
"It's that house! We can make sure that Cheng Yanran's carriage and guards have not left since they entered the house." Xu Jingming said, "Our first target is Cheng Yanran."
The three eighth-level masters behind him nodded slightly.
"Everything is done according to the plan." Xu Jingming gave an order, and he, wearing a human skin mask and holding a spear, led sixty-three masters to suddenly burst out at high speed.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
Everyone turned into afterimages and rushed straight to the house at super high speed.
In just a few seconds, he rushed over a distance of two or three hundred meters!
There weren't many guards secretly protecting Cheng Yanran. After they were removed, there were only eighteen of them! These eighteen people were mainly guarding the front door, and only two people were sent to guard the back door.
When these two people saw the blurry afterimages of Xu Jingming and other masters rushing towards them, their faces changed drastically and they didn't dare to stop them at all.
“Boom.” “Boom.” “Boom.”
When the three eighth-rank masters rushed to the back door of the mansion, they simultaneously burst out with their mental power, which instantly enveloped the entire mansion and impacted the minds of everyone in the mansion.
The disheveled old man Sword Master King and Saint Envoy Xun in the courtyard both changed color instantly.
The battle broke .
