Chapter 44: 44. If the Saber Is Not Unsheathed, It Will Kill the Heart!

Translator: 549690339

Eunuch Mei and Sir Bi were toasting each other in the pavilion of the Bi residence. The two of them were discussing many things, including the present, the future, before the return of the Son of Heaven, and after.

“Thank you for your advice. If it weren’t for Sir Bi, I wouldn’t have known that Great General Nangong was already on his way to the capital.”

” You’re too polite. ” Sir Bi smiled and cupped his hands. ” Eunuch, you’ve endured hardships and tried your best to hide beside such a person without a king or father. You’ve put in a lot of effort. When General Nangong enters the city, he will definitely invite you to the welcoming banquet. ‘

“Our family’s status…”

“In such a difficult situation. the Head Chief has alreadv died. and onlv Eunuch is still alive. This must be a great merit. We were able to succeed because of

Eunuch’s secret help.”

Hearing this, Eunuch Mei’s eyes lit up. He hurriedly smiled and said, “”Aiya, Sir Bi, I really have to thank you. If you need my help in the future, just let me know. ”

“Manager Mei, there are still many days ahead, many days ahead, hahaha…”

The two of them chatted happily for an entire night. One wanted to take the opportunity to invest in the eunuchs in the palace, while the other wanted to use the emperor’s secret sentry to clear his name. They hit it off immediately.

“Come, come, come. Let’s have another cup.”

“Here’s to you, sir.”

“You’re welcome.”

As they were chatting, a man suddenly walked in quickly and glanced at Sir Bi.

Sir Bi recognized that this was his subordinate’s hidden sentry, so he said, “It’s fine. Just say it.”

Only then did the man speak in a trembling voice,”Seventh Highness…” You’re back!”

Clang ..

Just as he finished speaking.

The wine glass in Eunuch Mei’s hand fell to the ground. He shrieked, “”Shouldn’t the Seventh Prince be subdued by the monks of Thunder Sound Monastery?”

“I don’t know…” the hidden sentry said.

“Are there any monks from Thunder Sound Monastery coming back with him?”

Sir Bi asked hurriedly.

“I haven’t seen…” the hidden sentry said.

“How does the Seventh Prince dress?” Eunuch Mei asked again.

“He’s dressed in plain clothes,” the sentry replied.

“Is there any blood?” Are you seriously injured?”

The hidden sentry said, “It’s spotless…” Full of energy…”

“This … How is this possible?”

Eunuch Mei’s face suddenly turned ashen as beads of sweat seeped out from his forehead.

Three days ago, thunder rumbled in the winter and Buddha’s light shone brightly. It was obvious that the Seventh Highness and the monks of Thunder Sound Temple had fought fiercely. But now, His Highness had returned. What did this mean?

This meant that His Highness had won.

But how could His Highness win?

Bi Daren was also flabbergasted, his mind filled with disbelief.

He recalled how he had said proudly before, “If this kid hadn’t had some fortuitous encounter, he would have died long ago. Even if he had some fortuitous encounter, he would have spent it all so quickly. He was at his wit’s end and couldn’t do anything else. From this, it can be seen that this kid’s temperament is really low-grade. He endured silently and gained power in one move, just like a nouveau riche. He’s really low-grade. No wonder he was caught by those monks.” At this moment…Suddenly, she felt her face being slapped hard.

The two of them looked at each other.

Suddenly…

The air became quiet, and the atmosphere was a little strange.

Sir Bi looked at Eunuch Mei, and Eunuch Mei looked back at Sir Bi. His expression was somewhat deep, strange, and unfamiliar. Although he was still smiling, it was different.

It was as if the intimacy between the two of them had instantly disappeared.

Master Bi suddenly stood up and smiled. ” Xia Ji is nothing to be afraid of. I have a pot of immortal wine. I must bring it to drink with Eunuch Mei today. ‘ With that, he walked out of the door.

Eunuch Mei suddenly said, ” I wonder if the Emperor has arranged for any other lords to stay in the Imperial Capital. Why don’t we call them all over and have a good drink? ”

“Of course, of course!” Sir Bi laughed loudly.

He was laughing loudly, but his footsteps towards the door were not slow at all.

That was then, and that was now.

If Seventh Highness was trapped, the two of them would be allies.

But Seventh Highness was not trapped…

The Seventh Prince was clearly fine, but he still stayed in the temple until the fifth day before returning. What was this?

This was fishing without adding bait. Those who were willing would take the bait!

Was he still a boor?

If one were to say that the Seventh Prince did not make any arrangements, even if he had left for five days, no one would believe it…

Lord Bi suddenly felt a chill in his heart!

He didn’t want to come into contact with Eunuch Mei at first, but Eunuch Mei gave him false information to track him down. In the end, this false information became true. Could it be that this was also part of the Seventh Prince’s plan?

No! The Seventh Prince did not expect this. This was only within his expectations, but he must have expected Eunuch Mei to come and hook up with them.

Not only did the Seventh Prince not put any bait on the fishing rod, he did not even stand in front of the fishing rod.

But … A fish like him had taken the bait.

When the Seventh Prince came back, he seemed to have expected the existence of the secret agent. The secret agent became his chess piece and became his power to stop him. However, this secret agent was sent out by him.

This was…

What kind of person was this?

He felt a chill in his heart. He only felt that the Seventh Highness was truly terrifying.

If the knife was not drawn, it would kill the heart.

And he actually felt that such a person was a boor?

It was truly ridiculous and ironic.

But now, he knew that times had changed, so he smiled as he retreated.

Eunuch Mei’s expression was uncertain. Seeing him take two more steps, he suddenly raised his voice and said, “”Sir Bi, please wait.”

However, Bi Daren didn’t know how to stop. Hearing these words, he quickly ran out and shouted,” Assassins!! ”

As he shouted these three words, the hidden sentry beside him, who had been on guard for a long time, pulled out his sword and stabbed at Eunuch Mei.

Eunuch Mei had just heard these three words when he shot out like a bolt of lightning. Cold air burst out from his left palm as he grabbed at Sir Bi from behind.

This cold air actually carried a faint sharpness like an embroidery needle. It was obviously the exquisite Qi circulation method in the Sunflower Manual.

When a wild goose flies past and plucks its feathers, there is still some oil left in the fat hands. When the Head Chief asked him to give the Sunflower Manual to the Seventh Prince, although he did not have the time to copy it, he had memorized a part of it.

At this moment, he was going all out to kill this Bi Daren and even the other people in the Bi Residence.

If he killed Sir Bi, then not only could he destroy the corpse and cover up his history of betrayal, he could also go and claim credit, saying that he had found out the mastermind behind the rioters, but he was surrounded and killed in the end. He was also seriously injured.

Bi Daren was a smart person and he knew this too. As he ran with all his might, he shouted,”Guards, guards!”

Several guards hurried over from afar.

In the sunlight, the sword rang and a cold light was drawn.

The guards quickly ran towards Eunuch Mei, who was behind Sir Bi.

However, Eunuch Mei did not panic. He smiled coldly and opened the fingers of his steel right hand. As if a mechanism had been activated, five black metal tubes appeared on his fingertips, from which cold light shot out.

When the Seventh Prince crippled his right hand and he turned it into a puppet hand, he had spent a lot of effort. Now that he had used this trump card, he just wanted to kill the people of Bi Manor as soon as possible.

Your Highness…

His Highness is coming back!

Thinking of the Seventh Prince, Eunuch Mei was scared to death.

Sir Bi, who was running away, heard the screams of the guards behind him. He gritted his teeth and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

Four hours later.

Xia Ji stood in the Bi Residence.

The entire Bi residence, including the guards and the master, had all died. Half of Bi Daren’s face had been scratched off, and the other half of his eyeball had been knocked out by a huge force. However, it did not fall off, but was pulled by a few nerves and hung in the eye socket. The brain and blood flowing out of the wound on his head were frozen, and there were many needle holes on his back. It was likely that he had died an extremely uneasy death.

Eunuch Mei was also lying in a pool of blood. His eyes were wide open as he looked up at the sky, showing some shock and disbelief. There was a crescent-shaped transparent blade stuck in the back of the eunuch’s head, and the tip of the blade was protruding from his face. It seemed to be a hidden weapon.

It wasn’t difficult to find out what this hidden weapon was, and it was in the hands of Sir Bi. It was a terrifying hidden weapon that could fetch ten thousand taels of gold in the underground ghost market. However, Xia Ji only needed a little investigation to know that this wasn’t a hidden weapon at all, but a killing magic weapon. However, this magic weapon had already been used up, or else the owner wouldn’t have sold it.

The men of sacrifice had already arranged all the corpses neatly in the courtyard of the Bi Residence. There was really no one who survived. All of them were dead.

It looked like Eunuch Mei had killed them all. This was really a poisonous bait.

However, Xia Ji’s gaze shifted slightly. Although the wounds were similar, and even the fatal wounds of the deceased were showing the ” frozen state ” of the Ice True Qi, there was still a slight difference. In other words…There was a third person who helped Eunuch Mei complete the task of eliminating the weeds and roots.

Sir Bi had sneaked into the Grand Secretary’s Mansion, and Eunuch Mei had also sneaked into the Dibi Mansion. His sudden return had frightened them, causing them to give up on their cooperation in an instant and turn to killing each other. In the end, they had thrown out their trump cards, resulting in both sides suffering heavy losses. Both of them had died, and then Sir Bi’s accomplices had hurriedly sent experts to destroy the corpses.

Xia Ji’s expression was calm. This was one of the endings he had been looking forward to.

However, the matter of silencing him showed that this matter was deeply involved.

There were countless dignitaries and ministers in the court. Originally, it was like searching for a needle in a haystack, but now there were clues. As long as they investigated Sir Bi’s recent movements, they might be able to gain something.

Other than that, many things were beginning to surface…

For example, Sir Bi was one of the masterminds behind the rioters, and Eunuch Mei had come to meet him. After all, there was fine wine and delicacies on the table.

This time, he didn’t return empty-handed. Although he didn’t catch a big fish, he still collected some interest.

“Return to the palace!”

With a wave of his hand, he turned around and left. A portion of the men of sacrifice followed closely behind, while the rest stayed behind to deal with the aftermath and continue the search..
