Chapter 95: Prince Zhao's Mansion, What a Plot
Although Zhang Yuan did not master the legendary art of flying and could not fly on the clouds, he could use the lightness of his spiritual energy to hide in the darkness and shuttle between the streets and rooftops like a nightingale.

In just a few moments, he had crossed half of the city and arrived at Guyun Lane in the north of Toyota County.

His figure stepped on the dark corner of the eaves of a two-story building, his breath restrained, and his body seemed to become one with the building.

His eyes turned to the house not far away.

Five years ago, this was the residence of County Lieutenant Su Qianglin.

County Magistrate Su died in that bloody battle, and most of his house was destroyed. It was only in the past two years that a business from an unknown source bought it and renovated it.

Xiao Tonglin from the Xiao family is hiding here.

Turning his gaze to the streets in front of the house, Zhang Yuan's eyes shone with a hint of shrewdness.

Young man, and a swordsman guard.

Someone from Prince Gu’s Mansion?
Ying Luo, the prince of Guwang Mansion, strode forward. The dim night and the lights intertwined, casting dots of light and shadow on his body.

Behind him, an old man with gray hair had a sword hanging from his waist and his hands behind his back.

In the dark streets, there are countless pairs of eyes hidden.

Ying Luo's face was calm, his eyes fixed on the tall, lit gatehouse in front of him.

Before reaching the gatehouse, the middle-aged warrior in black robe standing on the stone steps bowed slightly.

"Mr. Zhao, my master invites you."

Walking into the courtyard, it was brightly lit.

Xiao Tonglin, dressed in a purple uniform and with his hair tied up in a jade crown, greeted him with a smile and a bow.

"Brother Zhao, I apologize for being so rude to come and see you in person."

Looking at Ying Luo in front of him, Xiao Tonglin felt a little more proud.

So what if he is the prince of the palace? He still has to come to see him, right?

Ying Luo had just sent a message saying that he could offer the same conditions as Prince Zhao's Palace, but less than a day later, he sent another message to increase the price.

This shows that Prince Gu is no longer able to withstand the tactics used by Prince Zhao’s Mansion.

This is handing the initiative over to the Xiao family.

Ying Luo looked at Xiao Tonglin in front of him with a calm expression.

Now that you have made up your mind, you must dare to take the gamble.

As long as Princess Yuruo dies in Toyota County, it will be impossible for the Ouyang family and Prince Zhao's Mansion to form an alliance.

As long as the Xiao family kills Princess Yuruo, they will inevitably form an alliance with him.

At that time, the host and the guest were in different positions.

Moreover, Ouyang Xu would also beg to see him.

"This is the relic that the Gu Palace promised to find."

Holding up a palm-sized golden iron box, Ying Luo spoke loudly.

A gleam of light flashed in Xiao Tonglin's eyes, a slight smile appeared on his face, and he raised his hand slightly.

Next to the corridor, a bald, bearded man in a gray robe stepped forward, grabbed the box in Ying Luo's hand, and grinned.

"It's really a relic."

Xiao Tonglin nodded and looked at Ying Luo: "The Zhenbei Army has seen the sincerity of the Guwang Mansion."

"I will report this to the garrison commander. As long as the time is right—"

Before he finished speaking, Ying Luo said, "Brother Xiao, there are not one but two princesses coming to Prince Zhao's mansion."

Two people?

The smile on Xiao Tonglin's face slowly faded.

Princess Fengming has already contacted him and asked him to meet.

Although Prince Zhao's Mansion was keeping the Zhenxi and Zhenbei armies in suspense this time, Xiao Tonglin and his men were actually doing the same, waiting for the right price.

But Xiao Tonglin didn't know that the people who came to Prince Zhao's Mansion were two princesses.

The princess hiding in the dark had no contact with the Zhenbei Army at all.

That person is the one who is truly connected with the Zhenxi Army and allied with the Zhenxi Army!
"Prince Zhao's Mansion, what a scheme..." Xiao Tonglin whispered softly.

Back then, Zhou Chang used a plan to capture five cities in the northwest.

Now look, the Xiao family is still not taken seriously by Prince Zhao’s Mansion.

Yes, in the eyes of many people, Ouyang Shucai's potential far exceeds that of the Xiao family and Xiao Renguang.

His eyes fell on Ying Luo, and Xiao Tonglin slowly narrowed his eyes.

"Brother Zhao, how can you teach me?"

Ying Luo chuckled.

……

A moment later, Ying Luo left with the old man with white beard behind him.

"That old fellow's sword is powerful. When I approached him just now, I could already feel the chilling sword intent."

"If I reach out and crush that guy to death, that old guy can pierce my head with one sword." Monk Guangzhi turned to look at Xiao Tonglin, holding the golden box in his hand.

"That guy is obviously using you as a pawn. Are you really going to help him get rid of the people in Prince Zhao's mansion?"

Xiao Tonglin's face was calm as he looked at the golden box in Monk Guangzhi's hand and said, "Uncle Master, keep this relic."

This made Guangzhi look surprised.

"I'll have to trouble you, uncle-master," Xiao Tonglin took a deep breath, his eyes cold, "and bring the princess of Prince Zhao's mansion here."

bring?

Guangzhi nodded, grinned, and stuffed the gold box into his arms.

"I see."

He strode out of the door.

Xiao Tonglin stood there with a hint of a smile on his face.

Although this uncle-master had a low character and showed no so-called compassion in Buddhism, he was ruthless and decisive in his actions.

And if you get benefits, you can get things done.

On the two-story building not far from the courtyard, Zhang Yuan turned his gaze to the direction where Guangzhi left, and then looked at several attics not far away.

The people from the Red Scale Army are here.

Zhang Yuan stopped again as his figure quietly moved through the night.

"Gu Pingyao is here too, that's interesting."

--------------

Ying Luo walked quickly through the streets and alleys in the north of Toyota County.

As he walked out of the darkness, the old man behind him suddenly reached out and pressed his shoulders.

"Prince, wait for me here."

Wait?
Ying Luo was shocked and saw the old man behind him had taken a step forward and waved his hand.

"when--"

The faint sound of swords clashing rang out, echoing in the wide street.

Sword energy collides!

This is a fight between two sword masters in the late Xiantian realm using sword techniques!

Ying Luo retreated to the dark corner with imperceptible footsteps.

The old man who guarded him was named Yang Dingyuan. He was once a figure on the Dragon and Tiger List and roamed the world with his sword.

After being invited to serve at Prince Gu's Palace, Yang Dingyuan borrowed the palace's treasures and supplies, and his swordsmanship improved further, giving him a sense of returning to nature.

Although Yang Dingyuan has no hope of becoming a Grandmaster in this lifetime due to his limited qualifications, his sword skills are good enough for him to have a place among the five countries and three regions.

It was for this reason that Yang Dingyuan followed the order of King Gu and accompanied Ying Luo to Toyota County.

"when--"

The sword energy collided, and the escaping and exploding energy hit the corner of the wall, leaving a three-inch scratch.

The next moment, Yang Dingyuan's sword was unsheathed, bringing out a dazzling light like a galaxy.

The sound of swords clashing and exploding rang out, and then fell silent.

Ying Luo felt his whole body tense.

He is also at the half-step innate realm, and has a family background in learning, so he has had extraordinary knowledge since childhood.

But he cannot participate in the fight between the top masters below this level.

Not even qualified to watch.

"Gu Pingyao points to the stars with his sword."

Yang Dingyuan's voice rang out.

"Yang Dingyuan of Wanhua Tianhe. Ten years ago, Brother Yang disappeared from the martial arts world. It turns out he entered the Prince Gu's Mansion."

Amidst the street lights, an old man in a green shirt and a gauze hat, stroking his short beard, held a long green sword in his hand. The tip of the sword scraped across the bluestone, causing the sword to vibrate.

Gu Pingyao, the chief secretary of Prince Zhao's palace.

Gu Pingyao's gaze fell on the shadowy streets behind Yang Dingyuan, and he chuckled softly, "I didn't expect to meet the prince of Guwangfu in Fengtian County. I wonder what the prince is doing here in Fengtian County."

Ying Luo didn't say anything, leaning against the wall, his back already soaked with sweat.

Yang Dingyuan slowly raised the sword in his hand.

There was a gleam in Gu Pingyao's eyes, and a faint sword energy flowed on the edge of the sword.

The solemn aura collided in an instant.

But before the two of them could make a move, a sharp scream was heard not far away.

"call out--"

Bow and arrow!

A bow and arrow that can hit the target from a hundred paces away!
