Be A Virtuous Wife! So Tough!

C191 – I Only Need One Life

“Did you really see two men in cloaks enter Wang Zixian’s mansion? And then they returned to the inn?” Tang Yue blinked.

“Yes. The two of them are suspicious. We followed them all the way. We saw them take a detour and enter the post house. Currently, only the envoys of North Yue live in the post house. It seems that the figures of the two of them fit the two of them in the diplomat group.”

Tang Yue guessed the reason why the people of North Yue had found Wang Zixian. He would not believe it if there was nothing fishy about it.

The only connection between Wang Zixian and North Yue was that his birth mother was the princess of North Yue.

If they followed the usual plot, then this should be a sign that North Yue was planning to collude with Wang Zixian and create a storm in South Jin.

If the North Yue was going to help Wang Zixian fight for the throne, Wang Zixian would definitely not reject it. It would be a huge temptation to him.

The North Yue could also stir up chaos in the imperial court and disrupt the peace and harmony of the imperial court. They could take advantage of the chaos in the South Jin to rest and recuperate. They would attack after he was out of breath.

This kind of plan was even more effective than the ones they wanted to plant people in the imperial court of the North Yue.

Of course, this was only Tang Yue’s guess. Whether the North Yue was willing to give a certain amount of help to Wang Zixian was still uncertain.

“Can you find out what they did in Third Prince Prefecture?”

“Our men only saw the two messengers being invited into the study room. After that, they talked to Wang Zixian for an hour. As for what they talked about, no one knows.”

Tang Yue nodded and asked him to keep an eye on Wang Zixian’s every move.

Usually, Crown Prince Zhao was very smart when he saw Crown Prince Zhao making plans. Every order he gave was decisive and smart. It was only when Crown Prince Zhao was in his hands that he realized how difficult it was to do something like this.

Fortunately, Crown Prince Zhao had given him a lot of useful people. Otherwise, without accurate information and these people with strong execution skills, he could only be blind.

Tang Yue asked someone to pass the message to him. The mountain was old, so Tang Yue did not need his personal protection. Instead, he asked him to help train the guards from Yueyang Marquis’s Mansion.

He did not lack people to protect him, but he lacked one or two top experts. A genius like this could defeat countless people.

“Young master, why did you ask this old servant to come here?”

Tang Yue looked at his white hair and beard. He was almost at the age of the Heaven’s Will. In this era, he had a high life expectancy.

“Uncle Shan, you’ve worked hard.” Tang Yue asked him to sit down and poured him a cup of tea.

Shan knew Tang Yue’s character. He knew that he had never looked down on these servants. Gradually, they became less cautious when communicating with each other.

“This is my duty. young master, if you need anything, feel free to tell me.”

“There is indeed something, but it is a little dangerous. That’s why I asked Uncle Shan to discuss it.”

Tang Yue was a good citizen who did not harm anyone. He had developed a habit of abiding by the law since he was young. He did not expect that in a different world, he would also have to order people to do bad things.

He opened a blueprint and spread it in front of the mountain. “This is the structure of the post house. Currently, Envoy of North Yue and the soldiers are living here. There are a total of 75 people. If I want to take someone’s life, I wonder if it will work?”

When Shan heard this, he was shocked. He looked at Tang Yue in surprise. “Why did young master do such a risky thing? Does His Highness know?”

Tang Yue choked. He had heard so much recently. Why did everyone think that he would do something behind Crown Prince Zhao’s back?

Besides, did he have to let Crown Prince Zhao know everything he did?

“His Highness knows, but he won’t interfere.” It was Tang Yue’s decision to see how far he could go.

When Shan heard what he said, he felt relieved. Although young master was strong, he was not strong in these aspects. It was still okay for him to save people, but to let him kill people… it was hard to imagine.

Shan Jiang looked at the map several times and rehearsed a few routes in his mind. He nodded and said, “As long as the plan is right, there is a fifty percent chance of success. However, there is only one person that can be killed. It is impossible to have more.”

Tang Yue’s mouth turned into a smile. “That’s enough. I only need one life.”

“But someone in the envoy group bullied young master? This old servant will kill him even if I have to risk my life!” Grandpa Shan said angrily.

The news of Su Ying Pavilion had spread inside and outside. There were all kinds of versions, but not many people knew the truth. Shan had also learned about the process from the other guards. He only knew that someone had deliberately set him up, but he did not know who the enemy was.

When he heard that Tang Yue was going to kill someone in the inn, His first reaction was that the enemy must be the North Yue. These people had always wanted to marry some bullshit princess to Crown Prince Zhao. young master had blocked their path and became a stumbling block. Naturally, they wanted to get along with it as soon as possible.

Shan’s eyes were dark and cold. He thought that he would send this news back to Yueyang Marquis’s Mansion in a moment.

Crown Prince Zhao was actually indifferent to such a big matter. It was really unpleasant!

Tang Yue saw his expression and knew that he was thinking incorrectly. He waved his hand and said, “It’s not like that. I just wanted to use this to create some trouble and do something.”

Shan naturally did not believe his words. He rubbed his fists and wanted to take revenge. “What should we do? Tell me.”

Tang Yue took a charcoal pen and circled a few places on the blueprint. He pointed at a corner and said, “This is a blind spot at the back door. Normally, no one would notice this place. The guards of the inn were all soldiers of North Yue. So you don’t have to worry about it. In the second half of the day, you brought your men and sneaked into this place, igniting the row of rooms in the backyard. Change into a set of servants’ clothes and sneak into the main building in the front yard. You can kill any one of them in the Messengers, and then…”

Tang Yue told him what he was thinking. Whether he could do it or not, he needed experienced people to verify it. The strategies he had accumulated from playing games in the past did not fit the truth.

Shan laughed after he heard that. “This plan is good, very good! This way, we can draw the majority of the soldiers to the back. The defense at the front will definitely be reduced. In addition, it is night time. Once they walk into the water, they will wake everyone up. It is impossible for the envoys to hide in their houses and not come out. As long as they go out, a cold arrow will be enough to kill them.”

Tang Yue filtered out the matter again and felt that it was feasible. “Don’t be careless. After this, they will definitely hunt down the murderer. We have to make sufficient preparations for how to escape.”

“Don’t worry about that. Ye City is our territory after all. Two streets to the south of the inn is the place where people live. The alley is deep and winding. It’s difficult for the people of North Yue to crawl in and out. It’s not difficult for them to escape.”

Tang Yue nodded. “In that case, I’ll leave this matter to Uncle Shan. I’ll get someone to help us from the outside. You have to be careful.”

“This old servant will go and prepare now. The fastest way is to act tomorrow night.”

“Tomorrow night. That’s a good weather. Dark clouds cover the moon, but it won’t rain.”

Shan knew that he had some ability to predict the weather, so he was even more confident.

When Crown Prince Zhao returned to his room, Tang Yue had just put away the drawings. He smiled and went up to greet him. “I came back a little late today.”

“Yes, I was dragged by my grandfather to have a meal.”

“Oh? State Duke Ann? He can’t be asking you to question him, can he?” Tang Yue didn’t go out, but that didn’t mean he didn’t know how fierce the rumors were.

“It’s just gossip. Just make it clear.”

“Really?”

Crown Prince Zhao reached out and pulled him into his arms. “Is that true? What I said was true. They would believe me.”

“Tsk, I’m afraid they don’t believe me.”

“So what? It’s enough to believe on the surface. No one has been able to interfere in the matter between the two of us. Let them talk if they want to.”

Tang Yue rolled his eyes. There was worry in his eyes. “They are fine. I don’t know how the king and the queen will react when they hear the news.”

“Mother, don’t worry. She believes what I said. As for Royal Father, he just punished Wang Zixu. Maybe he will use this anger to scold me. It is not important.”

It wasn’t a serious injury. He could still bear the scolding.

“So, in the end, Wang Zixian took all the advantages?”

“Why not let him show off for two days? You are in the middle of planning. I also want to see how good your methods are.” Crown Prince Zhao said jokingly.

There was a hint of mockery in his words. Tang Yue knew that he regarded himself as a good person who did not do anything to harm others. He could not do anything too cruel.

“Ahem, then you have to open your eyes wide. It’s just that…” Tang Yue hesitated for a moment and stared into his eyes. “If one day you find out that I am also a ruthless person, will you still think that I am virtuous?”

He did not forget that Crown Prince Zhao married him because he liked him. He had the ability that men of this era did not have.

Crown Prince Zhao kissed the corner of his eye, the corner of his mouth slightly curved, “No matter how you change, it will always be you. Could it be that because you know how to kill people, you don’t know how to cook? Would you not know how to cure people because you know how to scheme?”

Tang Yue was speechless. What kind of problem was this?

“Besides, I don’t know how to cure people. Even if you don’t have it, you’re still my wife. I’m not going to change my mind so easily.”

Tang Yue snorted. There was still a glimmer in his eyes.
