Just as Zi Yuan was about to head to the training room to ponder the moves, he suddenly received Helian's orders. Thus, he stopped what he was doing and rushed to the Imperial Palace.

On the other side, Mu Rong Xiu was also preparing to head back to the Northern State of Yue.

In the palace, Helian was currently drinking wine in the imperial garden. At this moment, Helian was in a good mood, because the fact that he was able to retreat without fighting made Helian very happy, and all of this was due to Zi Yuan, and this was actually due to him. In fact, Helian's plan was also the most important, but Helian's love for the house and the bird had placed all of this on Zi Yuan.

At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a yellow vest was drinking wine in the biggest inn in the country of Northern Yue. At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a yellow vest was drinking wine in the largest inn in the capital of Northern Yue State.

"Poison wine to assassinate Helian!"

After that person finished reading the letter, he threw it into his own wine cup, shook the cup, and left in a hurry.

In a bustling courtyard in the capital city of the Northern Yue, the man was impressively inside. This mansion belonged to the steward of the Northern Yue Sect.

"Manager Wang, what do you think of this matter?" At this moment, he was actually discussing something with the Minister of Imperial Household, and Huang Qi was actually one of Murong Xianan's informants. Helian only knew that Mo Feng and the other two were spies planted in the imperial court, but he didn't know that Huang Qi was the fish that had escaped the net, and it was also a spy that Murong had set up a few years ago.

"General Huang, this is really difficult. The emperor's food and drinks were initially arranged by his trusted aides. If we recklessly poison the emperor's food and wine right now, none of us will be able to escape." When Steward Wang heard that Huang Qi had come to find him today in order to prepare poison for Helian Lie, he panicked for a moment, but after calming down, he felt that this matter was difficult to accomplish.

"Hmph, Steward Wang, I won't say anything else. You know this is an order from the lord himself, so what can you and I do?" Don't forget, both of us are on the same boat right now. When Huang Qi saw that Manager Wang was unexpectedly reluctant to agree, his tone became slightly cold, and when Steward Wang heard Huang Qi's words, he felt even more helpless.

"Hey, Lieutenant Huang, don't say that. How can I not know that we're on the same boat?" This matter still requires the two of us to properly come up with a plan. " Steward Wang's tone had also slowed down. Seeing Steward Wang speak like this, Huang Qi also knew that this matter needed good planning, so he looked towards Steward Wang to slow down as well.

Manager Wang, I know this is going to be a little difficult, so I was a bit anxious just now. Please don't blame me." They had worked together for a long time and had always discussed things together, and had also completed the matters instructed by the lord very well. Only this time, the two of them had indeed been in trouble, and seeing that Manager Wang hadn't agreed immediately earlier, Huang Qi thought that the other person wasn't going to make a move this time, so he was a little anxious and even a little angry.

"Lieutenant Huang, there's nothing between you and me, so I'll be straightforward with what I have to say. If this matter is really done, then I do have someone in the palace, but if it is done, that person must die and the two of us must escape. "Because the lord's orders came too fast, it would be too difficult to send someone back into the cave. In order to be safe, if we were to do this, we could only make preparations to escape." Steward Wang finished his words in one breath, his face full of worry.

It was true that if Helian was so easy to succeed, then the two of them would have already done so a long time ago. It would not be so easy to murder the monarch of a country, and if this matter was exposed and they did not succeed, then the two of them would definitely face being beheaded. However, both their businesses were here. How could it be so simple to give up just like that?

"Steward Wang, I've also realized what you've said just now. This is indeed quite a difficult situation." Huang Qi was also worried, sighing deeply as he actually had no other choice.

"General Huang, let's not talk about Second Bro. You know that our businesses are all here. If we give up now, we might be able to escape, but where are our families?" Steward Wang said with a helpless expression as he looked at Huang Qi.

"Yeah, I'm thinking about that too." Huang Qi had an anxious expression on his face as well.

"Right, aside from saying that we were to poison the emperor, did the lord say anything else?" Steward Wang seemed to have thought of something as he blurted out.

"No, I'm just saying that he poisoned his majesty." Huang Qi was also shocked when he saw Steward Wang like this.

"Ah, how could this be?" Steward Wang also suddenly became dispirited.

"What's wrong, Brother Wang? What's going on?" Although Huang Qi was puzzled, he knew that he couldn't be hasty at this moment.

"Well, brother, think about it. If the two of us were going to murder His Majesty, where would the two of us go? Your Excellency's words might have two meanings. The first is that since you've succeeded in poisoning the poison, you'll have to stay here. If the poison is unsuccessful, you'll have to stay here. " Manager Wang said with a sad expression.

"Ah, so that's how it is, so that's how it is. Doesn't that mean that the lord wants to give up on us? " When Huang Qi heard Steward Wang's words, he was also startled.

"Hehe, not only that, the two of us can only ride the tiger and not get down." Manager Wang continued.

"Brother Wang, you know that I, Huang Qi, am a boorish person, so if you have something to say, just say it directly. This gives me some confidence." Huang Qi panicked. He himself was a general, how could his brain move as fast as the Minister of Imperial Household's. Otherwise, he wouldn't be a general, but the other side would be a general as well.

Now we can only go and poison Helian, or else the two of us won't be able to escape. You have to know that ever since Mo Feng sealed the seal, we are the only two people in the Northern Yue State, and the person who wants us to do that is clearly trying to test us. Although he trusts the two of us, if we do that, then we will be able to gain the trust of the two of us, but if we don't, then we are at risk of being hunted down. Steward Wang's face was ashen as he finished speaking in one breath.

"Why? Can't we escape?" Huang Qi panicked and blurted out.

"Flee?" Where to go? The Northern Yue Army has just had a great battle with the Western Parting Army. If we run now, where can we run to? "I'm afraid that we will be discovered by those at the border before we even reach the west. We will only die even faster!"

"Then what should we do? Then wouldn't the only thing we can do is die? " Even people would be afraid of death, and humans also wanted to climb higher because Murong Xiu had given them a lot, so Huang Qi was moved. However, when facing death, people were selfish.

"Heh, now it's not the time to say that we are going to escape. We only have one way out." Head Steward Wang sighed in his heart and then said with a cold tone as well.

"What way?" When Huang Qi heard Steward Wang's words, he too was inspired with hope.

"We can only use poison to harm Helian. And if Helian really dies, then we will be able to be upright and unworried. On the other hand, if Helian doesn't die, then the two of us can only be on the verge of death." After Steward Wang finished speaking, Huang Qi didn't speak and both of them fell silent. At this moment, both of them were extremely conflicted, so they didn't dare to say anything else. Both of them were deep in their own thoughts.

All of a sudden, Huang Qi's gaze turned cold. "Brother Wang, it's the only thing we can do at the moment, you and I can only make arrangements as soon as possible. Otherwise, when Lord finds out we haven't moved yet, I'm afraid he'll suspect us."

"Hmm? Decided? "Then the two of us will have to wait for Helian's news. If he doesn't die, have you thought about the consequences?" Steward Wang was also startled when he saw Huang Qi speak like this.

"If Helian isn't dead, then the two of us will escape to the southwest. I have a cousin there, and I think we should be able to escape this calamity. Right now, we can only discuss how to poison Helian Lie." At this moment, he could only give it his all.

Of course, when Steward Wang saw Huang Qi's decisiveness, he couldn't say these words out loud, otherwise, he was afraid that he would immediately become enemies with Huang Qi. If the two of them were to engage in an internal conflict, it was likely that both of them would suffer losses on both sides, moreover, Steward Wang would absolutely not choose to clash with his own partner at this moment. But in reality, if Huang Qi wanted to escape, would it be useful to escape to your cousin? He would probably be killed on the way. However, seeing Huang Qi say this, even though he had a lot of thoughts in his mind, Manager Wang could only discuss the countermeasures at this moment.

Well, since Brother Huang has already made up his mind, then I will not talk about anything else. First of all, if we want to poison Helian, we must start from the kitchen inside the palace, and I have a person there who has been my friend for many years. I believe that if I had asked him, he would have done it, and he also knows some things about me. Steward Wang had been operating in the Northern Yue for so many years, so it didn't make sense to say that he didn't have any connections. However, if the emperor wanted to eat, he had to go through a procedure of testing the dishes, and this so-called testing the dishes was the most difficult of all.

Listening up to here, Huang Qi also knew that it wasn't that easy to murder Helian Lie. Subsequently, he recalled that as a general, he also had some authority in the city.

"Leave this matter with me, Manager Wang. I will change the person who tested the ingredients. After that, I will switch to my own person. After saying goodbye to him, I will immediately run away." Huang Qi agreed after thinking for a moment.

"No, no, no, we mustn't let him escape." At this moment, Steward Wang also had the urge to beat someone up. This scoundrel really did have seven orifices and six orifices that left him with nothing left to understand. Why is there such a stupid person? Steward Wang also thought that he had been working with such a person for such a long time and was truly foolish. Big brother, if that person escaped and got stopped, wouldn't the two of us die instead?
