"Tonight is the best time to infiltrate the Prince's Mansion?" When Xu Lin heard the report of Squirrel Hang, he didn't know whether to believe it or not.

It's only been a long time since you've been out, and have you walked half a mile? This is such a critical time, you met a game fairy on the road to show you the way, right?

But Xu Lin also knew that Squirrel Hang probably wouldn't joke about this kind of thing. After all, it costs them thousands of taels to die once, and even if the family really opens a gold mine, they can't afford to burn thousands of taels a day.

"In that case, let's go and break into this prince's mansion tonight. Before that, let's go to the Second Prince's Mansion. ”

For the sake of prudence, Xu Lin wanted to interrogate the captive named Liu Qing'er again, since she had a close relationship with the prince, she must have a deeper understanding of the prince's mansion, maybe she could know what secret passages the prince's mansion had.

The group arrived at the second prince's mansion, which is not too far from the prince's mansion, and belongs to the residence area of the dignitaries in the capital, and this place is also very close to the palace. It is probably a noble place where there is no white ding, and there is no official position above the third grade, and they are embarrassed to buy a house near here.

Businessmen who have no status or money don't want to live in it.

People like Xu Lin and them are even rarer, and even if they do, they don't dare to be so ostentatious. As a wanted thief, Xu Lin took his apprentices to swagger through the market, but none of them dared to ask.

But there were a lot of curious eyes, and the nobles and relatives on the road all looked at Xu Lin and his party with complicated eyes.

The players didn't feel anything, like Squirrel Hang, and continued to walk the arrogant pace that the six relatives didn't recognize. Li Daren, as a new disciple of the Imperial Sword Sect, walked at the back very honestly, holding the prosperous wealth that was constantly flowing in his arms, and he couldn't do without the dog these days.

Xu Lin walked on the avenue where lanterns had been lit before nightfall, and there was a strange feeling that their group was out of place with their surroundings. Not only because he was from the rivers and lakes, Xu Lin felt that everything around him seemed to be slowly decaying, and their group of people who were still alive naturally seemed out of place.

In the official residences on both sides of the road, countless dignitaries and nobles were waiting for the result of the battle for succession, but they turned a blind eye to the barbarian invasion thousands of miles away. They just want to wait for the throne to be decided, and then let their previous investment be doubled, and how many people will die in Tiannanxing Province during this period, I'm afraid no one will care.

I don't know how long the prosperity of this capital will last.

Entering the Second Prince's Mansion, everyone in the Imperial Sword Gate was warmly entertained, but it was much shabby compared to the Zhaoyang Palace. This Second Prince's Mansion, except for the appearance of the first floor, is really a bit too simple inside.

Xu Lin is also a person who is incompatible with this capital, but after entering the Second Prince's Mansion, he seems much more comfortable.

The second prince got the support of King Zhaoyang and solved the problem of harmony, and now just wait for the prince to walk into the trap, he can turn defeat into victory, even if he is cautious by nature, he also smiled when he saw Xu Lin.

"Master Xu, this time it's really thanks to you." The second prince said sincerely.

A chance encounter in Tiannan Province turned out to be the key to today's turnaround, and the second prince felt that Xu Lin was really his lucky general. If he weren't a pure Jianghu person, the second prince would have planned to make him an official after he succeeded to the throne.

"Your Highness, the Liu Qing'er from before should still be in your hands now, right? I would like to ask about the Prince's Mansion. Xu Lin said to the second prince straight to the point.

"The situation in the Prince's Mansion? Master Xu, you don't need to take risks, now that time is on our side, as long as it drags on for another month or so, the prince will be defeated without a fight. The second prince said in surprise.

In his opinion, the only reason for Xu Lin to inquire about the information of the Prince's Mansion was to carry out assassination. Let's not talk about the success rate, even if it succeeds, it is not a good thing for the second prince, because the assassination is a breakthrough in the bottom line, and it may be difficult for the second prince to sit on the throne with this charge on his back.

There are not only two princes, but the others have no support. If the second prince is killed and assassinated, it will only be other people who will benefit.

This is a political struggle, and it is not a matter of physical annihilation.

"It's not that we want to assassinate the crown prince, he has already suffered in the Zhaoyang Palace, and he should also understand that the Zhaoyang King is on our side...... Wait, tonight is the best time to invade the Prince's Mansion? ”

Xu Lin seemed to have suddenly thought of something, why was the heavily guarded Prince's Mansion able to invade tonight? Will something happen tonight that will weaken the guards of the Prince's Mansion?

Thinking of this, Xu Lin hurriedly asked the second prince: "Your Highness, how many masters are there in the house now?" ”

"If you don't count you, there are only two." The second prince said.

"There's another one who is Grandpa Wei, right? Has he recovered from the injury he suffered last time? Xu Lin asked again.

Gonggong Wei was the eunuch who accompanied the second prince to Tiannan Province, and found many martial arts people as cannon fodder to deal with Heifeng Village, but he was calculated and plotted. Not only did he not find any evidence, but he almost killed the second prince in Tiannan Province.

"Lao Wei's injuries are not all healed, and I am afraid that the injury will take more than half a year to recuperate." The second prince said.

"In other words, there is only one Void Returning Master in His Highness's Mansion now. If the crown prince sends a master to kill you, then there is no chance that His Highness will be spared. Xu Lin said a little unceremoniously.

"An assassination should be unlikely, just like if the crown prince dies now, I am the biggest suspect. With this suspicion, I can't sit in that position, and the same is true for the prince. The second prince said.

"Is it really the same? Even if I don't know much about the government, the only obstacle for the crown prince to reach that position now is you, Your Highness. Those officials who followed the crown prince's bet could not let other princes succeed to the throne, and they still have the general trend, even if they take risks, they should have a lot of certainty, right? In Tiannan Province, didn't he just want to kill you? Xu Lin asked.

When the second prince was said by Xu Lin, he suddenly felt that his hairs stood on end. With the character of the prince, maybe he really did such a ruthless thing. The second prince has always used his own thinking to replace the prince, but he ignored this possibility, after all, it was the prince who had the absolute advantage from the beginning.

And now, King Zhaoyang is on the opposite side of the crown prince, even if he said that he will not participate in the battle for the heir, but it is difficult to say what the prince will think. He might feel that he had been cornered by the King of Zhaoyang, and it was very likely that he would take a risk.

"Your Highness, if the crown prince really wants to kill you, what are your plans?" Xu Lin asked.

"The easiest way is naturally to hide, time is on our side, just wait for the prince to walk into the trap himself." The second prince said.

This is the old and serious approach, the second prince has now mastered the means to turn the tables, of course, everything is the best to be safe.

But Xu Lin said, "Your Highness, I have a bolder suggestion. ”
