Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 156 Mission
Although the man in black felt somewhat humiliated, he understood the importance of prioritizing the greater good. Therefore, with his companions pulling him back, he did not retaliate. He simply maintained his fierce gaze, staring hatefully at Sheng Changquan, as if trying to remember his appearance to take revenge.

"Hey! You're still not convinced, huh?"

Sheng Changquan maintained his persona and prepared to go up and cause more trouble.

Unexpectedly, the man in plain clothes seemed to have anticipated this situation. He turned slightly and immediately pushed the man in black into the house, while he himself stood between Sheng Changquan and the man in black, separating them.

His positioning was extremely skillful, without a trace of shrewdness.

"Humph!"

The man in black simply snorted angrily and obediently returned to the house.

“This fellow…”

"Brother, my cousin is being unreasonable, please don't be angry!"

The man in plain clothes offered another silver bean, saying, "I'll go back and teach him a good lesson!"

"Let him know what's really going on in the capital, brother. Please, do as you see fit!"

The man in plain clothes bowed and slowly retreated, showing no difference from others. He appeared to be a commoner who was adept at social interaction, and no one could detect anything amiss.

"Hmph, it's good that you know how powerful I am!"

Sheng Changquan looked arrogant, still maintaining his "Long Aotian" persona, displaying the image of a shrew who didn't know his place.

……

"Is this okay?"

In the distance, Xu Changqing, who had been watching this place intently, stared in disbelief at his young master's actions.

"When did the young master ever have such a rogue and scoundrel side? It's truly an eye-opener!"

Xu Changqing thought to himself, "However, the young master really did perform quite well!"

Originally, in Xu Changqing's eyes, his young master was a peerless genius who was both literate and martial, and exceptionally intelligent. Although he was remarkable, he was more of aloof and detached from worldly affairs. However, he did not expect that Sheng Changquan would have such a despicable state as a commoner!
To be honest, when Xu Changqing first saw this young master, he didn't feel the despair of a disillusioned idol. On the contrary, he felt a strange sense of closeness.

"Strange, why does it feel like the young master is more approachable this way?"

Xu Changqing shook his head, somewhat puzzled. However, mindful of his mission, he simply stopped thinking about it and went back into hiding, keeping an eye on the other party.

……

After dispelling the other party's suspicions, Sheng Changquan did not leave immediately. Instead, he sat down in front of the target's neighbor's door, still pretending to be nonchalant and idle.

However, despite his outward appearance, he was actually secretly observing the room next door, pondering the possibility of finding out what was going on inside.

"how?"

"Is there anything wrong with that person?"

Inside the room, a dozen or so people sat around three tables, all cautiously watching their companions at the door and asking questions in hushed tones.

There, the man in plain clothes carefully watched Sheng Changquan's actions through the crack in the door. After observing for a while, he finally felt relieved when he found that Sheng Changquan was just sitting there without making any unusual movements. He shook his head at his companion.

"It's nothing, it's probably just a coincidence!"

"That's good!"

Among the thirteen people, the tallest and strongest man in black nodded, setting the tone for the matter: "Since it was just an accident, let's leave it alone!"

"Humph!"

The man in black who had previously cursed Sheng Changquan snorted unhappily, seemingly feeling somewhat indignant!

"Alright, Night Tiger, this kid's matter isn't as important as the mission!" the burly man instructed. "If you want to teach him a lesson, you'll have to wait until the mission is over. Now is not the time to act impulsively!"

The man in black, also known as Night Tiger by the tall, muscular man, pointed at him sharply and said hoarsely, "Understood, boss!"

"Ok!"

The tall, burly man nodded, then continued, issuing orders: "Everyone, get ready. We'll set off immediately in half an hour!"

This man had a dark complexion and a rugged appearance. His entire body was covered in muscles, and his thick hair was interspersed with several hideous scars, making him a fearsome sight!

This person is called "Boss," so he is naturally the leader of this group.

"Boss, what's the mission this time?"

Among the men in black, one of them spoke up and asked, "Why did you call all the brothers over?"

"Could it be that the prince has some important matter he needs us brothers to handle?"

Because of the rules in the Prince Yong's mansion, all actions must be kept secret beforehand. Therefore, before the actual action is taken, apart from the leader of the team, the other individuals involved in the action are unaware of the situation. They can only find out half an hour before the action is taken.

The others had the same question, so they all turned to look over.

These men in black were no ordinary people; even in the talent-filled Prince Yong's mansion, they were considered top-tier experts.

Especially these thirteen brothers who came here are the elite of the elite, the masters among masters!

In the past, unless it was the most important matter, they were mostly sent out to take charge of important matters in various places, and rarely gathered together to do something together, which is why everyone had this question.

"This matter was ordered by the Princess."

The leader in black turned and looked around at his brothers, saying in a low voice, "Although it doesn't concern the Lord's great cause, it does involve the Lord's family affairs. Therefore, brothers, we must work together to handle this task properly!"

"Your Highness?"

"Lord, family matters?"

"..."

The group exchanged glances, all harboring some dissatisfaction. After all, how could experts like them be ordered around by a woman?
Even a princess wouldn't do it!

What's more, it was all because of a trivial matter!
At this moment, after hearing their leader's words, the men in black naturally understood a bit about the situation. They realized that this mission was probably not very important, mostly just some minor matters, or rather, "trivial matters" unrelated to the Prince of Yong's great cause.

"All right!"

The leader in black noticed his brothers' dissatisfaction but said nothing, only saying, "This is Commander You's order. We are to follow the Princess's instructions and resolve the matter of Princess Jiacheng!"

"We must heed Commander You's words!"

Clearly, the leader in black was also dissatisfied with this mission, but because of Commander You, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction and do his job obediently!
After all, since Commander You could act in this way, this mission, to some extent, also represented the Prince's order.

"Yes!"

Although the crowd was dissatisfied, they could only nod in agreement, just like their leader.

"Brothers, this mission may not be big, but we still need to be careful!"

Seeing that everyone understood the reason for the matter, the leader in black finally explained the mission of this trip: "Because, the one we are going to deal with this time is the Rong family!"

"The Rong family of Consort Rong in the palace!"
