Chapter 69: The Struggle for Power
After returning to the academy, he returned to the three-point and one-line life mode.
Su Luoheng still makes second-level soul guides in the laboratory every day, but the types are different every day.
In Dye Yuming's words, this is laying the foundation, and when he can skillfully use the soul guide inscription and make a third-level soul guide, it will naturally come naturally.
……
……
The central area of Mingdu, Hengwang's Mansion.
There was silence in the empty hall, as if some storm was brewing.
Inside the hall, Xu Jinyu sat on a chair in the middle of the room, his hands crossed, his fingers clasped, his eyes slightly closed, and his eyebrows slightly frowned, revealing a little tiredness.
His face was a little pale, and it looked like he had not yet recovered from his treatment in the Jingyang Mountains.
“……”
Outside the door, the voice of the guard suddenly sounded.
"Your Highness."
"What?"
Hearing this, Xu Jinyu raised her eyes slightly, her gaze was as cold as ice.
Outside the house, the figure of the guard knelt on one knee and said, "Steward Chen is back." ”
Xu Jinyu said lightly, "Let him in." ”
"Yes."
“……”
"Stomp-trample-"
Soon there was a rush of footsteps from far to near, and soon an old man in a green shirt who looked to be in his fifties, but with a full head of hair and a thin body, walked in.
"Your Highness."
The old man saluted him respectfully.
"Sit down, Uncle Chen."
Uncle Chen stopped talking, and looked at Xu Jinyu with a concerned expression.
"Your Highness, your injuries ......"
"It's fine."
Xu Jinyu waved her hand, and then asked, "What is the situation of your investigation?" ”
"Your whereabouts to the Dreadclaw Soul Mentor Legion this time were indeed leaked by Lin Yu's guy who eats inside and out! I think that the old prince was not thin on him at the beginning, but now that our Heng Wangfu has lost power, this dog thing has forgotten his righteousness and dared to collude with outsiders to murder His Royal Highness. ”
As he spoke, Uncle Chen's tone became more and more excited, and his face turned red with an indignant expression!
He also said at the beginning that this person would never go wrong if he was loyal, but now that he thinks about it, he really slapped himself in the face!
Hearing this, Xu Jinyu narrowed her eyes slightly, and her deep and dark pupils flashed with a hint of coldness.
"What about him now? Did you catch it? ”
"His subordinates led people to block his mansion as soon as possible, but unfortunately he may have heard the wind in advance, and when his subordinates felt it, he was not in the mansion, and only caught a few of his subordinates."
"The subordinates did not dare to overstep, and asked His Highness to deal with it."
"After the interrogation, it's all dealt with."
Xu Jinyu waved her hand, her tone was flat, her expression was unfazed, and she couldn't see anything abnormal.
"Your subordinates are ineffective, and you are in crisis due to the wrong belief in Lin Yu......"
"Please also ask Your Highness to punish you."
Chen Bo lowered his head and took the initiative to take all the responsibility for Xu Jinyu's attack on himself, with a strong tone of guilt and self-blame.
"The position of housekeeper is difficult for subordinates to do."
"Uncle Chen, I know your loyalty. Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing hearts, this thing is no wonder to you. Now that we are worried about the internal and external troubles of the Hengwang Mansion, and the few people around us are useless, Uncle Chen can't bear to let me take care of it alone? ”
Xu Jinyu took the hand of Uncle Chen, who was arched, and flattened it, and said gently and with concern.
He never had the slightest doubt about Uncle Chen's loyalty, because if he wanted to harm him, he would have had countless opportunities.
Hearing this, Uncle Chen's heart trembled slightly.
"The subordinates are ashamed, but they ......"
"Alright, this matter will be put on hold for now."
Xu Jinyu waved her hand, signaling that she would take it over and not mention it again.
Seeing this, Uncle Chen no longer shirked, and asked in a deep voice, "Your Highness, how should we deal with this Lin Yu?" ”
"Processing?"
Xu Jinyu sneered, a chill flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly, "Since he has done something to betray the Lord for glory, he should bear the corresponding consequences." Pass the order, as long as all the people who are close to Lin Yu are killed! Even if I dig the whole Ming capital three feet into the ground, I want his head on the neck! ”
"My subordinates understand." Uncle Chen gave up his hand.
didn't catch the culprit, Xu Jinyu is in a very unhappy mood now!
If he hadn't met Su Luoheng's master and apprentice this time, he would probably have already fed the corpses to the wolves!
What misfortune does not affect relatives and friends, it's pure! If it was your turn to be calculated and your life was almost lost, how could you be so calm?
Hehe......
That's really a great sage.
“……”
Xu Jinyu calmed down a little and asked, "Does the person behind him have any clues?" ”
"Not yet."
Lin Yu was not caught, and the information in their hands was limited.
"Find it out for me, no matter what ......"
Before the words fell, Xu Jinyu suddenly thought of something, a trace of helplessness flashed in her gloomy eyes, and she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, the main thing is to find Lin Yu." ”
Now the Hengwang Mansion is worried about internal and external troubles, even if the people behind it are found, there is nothing to be done.
"My subordinates understand."
Uncle Chen also sighed, and a deep sense of powerlessness came to his heart.
When the old prince was fine, who would dare to treat them like this? It's a pity that now that the days are getting weaker, everyone outside is eyeing their piece of fat.
Just as he was about to turn away.
"Wait."
Xu Jinyu suddenly opened her mouth to stop her, and deliberately advised, "Let the people in the mansion keep their mouths shut, I must keep this attack secret, and I must not let my father know!" ”
"My subordinates understand."
Chen Bojaw took the order and slowly exited the room.
“……”
After he left, Xu Jinyu slowly got up and stood in front of the window, looking at a courtyard somewhere in the mansion.
The expression is complicated and lonely.
……
……
Meanwhile.
Outside the city of Mingdu, in a dark alley.
"Whew-whew-"
A man hurried from the other end of the alley, sweating profusely, wheezing heavily, and looking rather disheveled.
"Code ...... Fortunately, Lao Tzu is clever! ”
He wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.
This person is the culprit Xu Jinyu is looking for: Lin Yu.
This guy is also very shrewd. Sensing in advance that the atmosphere in the mansion was not right, he guessed that there was probably an accident when he thought that there was no news coming from the Jingyang Mountain Range, so he immediately decided to run away with a few cronies overnight without even returning home.
If he hadn't run fast enough, he would have been blocked in Mingdu by the people of Hengwangfu.
This journey has finally come here.
Stand in front of the alley.
Lin Yu looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that there was no one around, he sneaked into the alley.
Then he circled the alley several times, and then stopped in front of a ragged and inconspicuous porter.
"Knock knock—"
"Knock-knock-knock-"
Three long and two short, the sound of knocking on the door is not hurried, and it is particularly clear in the silent alley.
This is a special code for communication.
Only knocks of this frequency will be answered.
Sure enough, the knock on the door had just fallen, and the originally closed courtyard door squeaked open.
Lin Yu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped into the house.
