Chapter 664 The Next Step

As it turned out, Prime Minister Lan was stopped in the middle when he was approaching the Inner Palace. There were another group of assassins prepared to attack him. But there were more guards outside, so they were dealt swiftly. Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

The number was also not as many as the number of assassin coming to get Emperor Yang Zhou.

Long Qian Xing had no intention of interfering with their methods of obtaining information. He would just let Prime Minister Lan dealt with that matter. Instead, he had some other matters that he needed to talk with Emperor Yang Zhou.

Thus, when the doctors had finished bandaging Long Qian Xing's wound, Emperor Yang Zhou asked everyone to leave and specifically reminded Lan Qiu that Long Qian Xing wanted to talk with him afterwards.

They had to warn this Imperial Guard.

Thankfully, Lan Qiu is Prime Minister Lan's son and could be trusted to a certain degree. The two father and son were quite similar to each other and the good thing was that they were both loyal.

"Your explanation from before can't fully explain the battles." Emperor Yang Zhou had found out that there were more assassins who died because of other assassins at the outer palace. It would be hard to explain what caused them to have such disagreement when they were still outside.

"You can say that you have shadow guard." Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows.

Emperor Yang Zhou's expression was placid. "I have none who have such skill in controlling needles."

To be able to perfectly pierce the needle at the weakest point when someone was moving required extreme precision. It was not something that could be mastered without many years of practice. He naturally had shadow guards and they were also cleaning the assassins from outside.

However, they were not comparable to that Master Jiu.

"Indeed."

Long Qian Xing could still remember the trajectory of those needles very clearly. Because he was within that Zone, he could see very clearly their movements and knew that Master Jiu was also capable of predicting the opponent's move. It was not as accurate as him when he was using the Zone, but it had reached such precision and accuracy that was extremely scary.

"Who should I deal first?"

Long Qian Xing looked at the ceiling and thought for a moment. "There should be some time to deal with a few before Empress Selection, right? Deal with one of them. Another one after the Empress Selection and the rest after the inauguration."

Emperor Yang Zhou's gaze turned solemn when he heard the last sentence. His inauguration was planned to be done in this autumn. There was not much time left for him to prepare everything.

"Tell me your plan."

Long Qian Xing told Emperor Yang Zhou the brief layout of his plan. After hearing all of that, Emperor Yang Zhou fell into deep contemplation for some time.

"Qian Xing."

"Yes?"

"It's a shame you don't want to be an official."

Long Qian Xing was speechless.

"You can go now. Ask Lan Qiu to come in for a moment. I would like to have a talk with him."

"Alright." Emperor Yang Zhou stood up and sighed. "Rest well. I'm not going to disturb you any longer."

"Thanks."

When Emperor Yang Zhou finally came out, Lan Qiu was called inside. He already felt that his legs turned weak when he saw the gaze that Long Qian Xing gave to him. What he had seen when he was protecting Emperor Yang Zhou was definitely top secret.

As Lan Qiu listened to what Long Qian Xing asked him to do, he didn't know whether to cry or cry even harder.
