Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Chapter 34 A Dark and Windy Night

a few days later.

Hundred Flowers Pavilion.

When many customers arrived at Baihualou today, they found the doors closed. There was a sign at the entrance that said Baihualou was going to close for renovations in preparation for the Flower Queen Festival in two weeks.

This is not surprising. The reason why Baihualou has become the most lively place in Yancheng is because Baihualou has been constantly upgraded and renovated, providing guests with a lot of new and fun things.

Moreover, after each upgrade and renovation, many beautiful girls would come, and this renovation has made the guests of Baihualou look forward to it.

Of course, this renovation of Baihua Tower was not a real renovation, but rather because the guests of Xueyue Tower had arrived.

At this moment, on the upper floor of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, a man wearing a bamboo hat was gazing in the direction of the Northern Prince's Mansion.

Wang Qingci sat on the chaise longue, her two long, slender legs crossed, her buttocks pressing the chaise longue slightly inward.

Liu Yuan then spoke up, saying, "Thank you, Miss Wang, for giving me the opportunity to take revenge myself."

In Liu Yuan's view, if the Misty Rain Pavilion wanted to take action against the Northern King, they could very well kill him without that mysterious grandmaster.

However, they did not make a move. Instead, they waited for the Blood Moon Tower to arrive before discussing how to assassinate the Northern King, which gave the Blood Moon Tower the opportunity to act.

Wang Qingci said with a smile, "Master Liu, I didn't wait until today for you. I waited to ensure that this assassination would be foolproof."

Liu Yuan said, "Regardless of what Miss Wang thinks, she still objectively gave me a chance."

At this moment, Liu Yuan wished he could rush into the Northern King's mansion and personally cut off the Northern King's head.

Although his younger brother Liu Tong may have been killed by the mysterious master of the Northern King's Mansion, he still blamed the Northern King for the crime.

The reason is simple: firstly, he might not be a match for that mysterious master; secondly, Liu Tong died because he assassinated the Northern King, which was related to the Northern King.

Since they couldn't find or defeat that mysterious master, they had no choice but to kill the Northern King to vent their anger.

He initially thought the mission of assassinating the useless Prince of the North would be easy, so he sent his younger brother. However, when he saw Liu Tong again, Liu Tong's body was already charred.

If the Northern King hadn't died at his hands, it would have been difficult to quell the hatred in his heart.

Wang Qingci then asked, "Master Liu, are you planning to make your move tonight?"

Liu Yuan said, "Yes, I can't wait to cut off the head of the Northern King to appease the spirits of my brothers in heaven."

Wang Qingci said, "Very well, tonight our Misty Rain Pavilion will fully cooperate with Blood Moon Tower. If there is anything you need, please feel free to ask, Tower Master Liu."

Liu Yuan asked, "Miss Wang, just in case, I'd like to ask one more question: are you sure that mysterious grandmaster who came to the palace with the Northern King has left?"

Wang Qingci smiled and said, "I have visited the Prince's Mansion many times to inquire about this matter. According to the intelligence I have gathered, the mysterious grandmaster has indeed left the Prince's Mansion and returned to the Chu family."

Liu Yuan said, "If that's the case, then that would be for the best."

Wang Qingci smiled and said, "Lord Liu, even if the information we at Yanyu Pavilion have gathered might be false, you don't need to worry too much."

"Even if that mysterious grandmaster returns to the Northern King's Mansion, with your strength, you should have no problem holding him back."

"While you're holding him back, we can completely take care of the Northern King."

After thinking about it, Liu Yuan agreed that Wang Qingci made sense.

After all, they have five Rank 9 experts and one half-step Grandmaster this time.

If we don't count that mysterious grandmaster, the Northern Prince's Mansion only has Chu Yuqin as a ninth-rank official.

One rank nine has no way to control six rank nines.

Therefore, the Northern King is doomed to die tonight!

Even if that mysterious grandmaster came, it wouldn't make a difference!

At this moment, Wang Qingci took out a map of the Northern Prince's Mansion. "This is a map of the Northern Prince's Mansion. When we take action tonight, our people from Misty Rain Pavilion will go directly to the backyard to block the Northern Prince's escape route. As for the frontyard, we'll leave that to Blood Moon Tower. What do you think, Master Liu?"

"If you, Master Liu, have any other ideas, you may bring them up."

Liu Yuan thought for a moment, then said, "Okay, let's do as Miss Wang says."

"However, if Chu Yuqin tries to stop me, could you please trouble Miss Wang to hold her off for a moment so that I can go and take the head of the Northern King?"

Chu Yuqin is a rather difficult person to deal with. If she comes out to stop him from killing Lu Chen, it might take him some time to get rid of her entanglement.

Although he could have other ninth-rank officials kill him, Liu Yuan preferred to do it himself.

Wang Qingci said, "That's no problem."

Then Wang Qingci said, "Alright, let's all get ready."

……

at the same time.

North Palace.

When Blood Moon Tower arrived at Hundred Flowers Tower, Lu Chen received a message from Wang Qingci. He immediately began to mobilize his troops and prepared an ambush at the Wang residence.

He distributed a total of twenty grenades to the soldiers, which was more than enough to deal with Liu Yuan and his men.

Moreover, they didn't throw grenades right away; the soldiers would fire arrows first after the Blood Moon Tower members entered their ambush area.

Even if Liu Yuan's men were at least at the third or fourth rank, most of them would still be killed by arrows if they were well-ambushed.

The grenades were mainly used to deal with the five ninth-rank officials and the deputy leader of the Blood Moon Tower.

To avoid frightening Mu Zixuan and her two pregnant wives and concubines, Lu Chen moved them to a secret passage in the palace beforehand.

With everything ready, we waited for night to fall.

……

The cold night wind was howling.

There was no moon or stars tonight; thick, dark clouds gathered overhead, making it seem as if the sky was about to collapse.

At this moment, the entire Northern Prince's Mansion was eerily quiet, with nothing but the sound of the wind.

After an unknown amount of time, a group of people dressed in black barged directly into the main gate of the Prince's Mansion.

When Liu Yuan and his group entered the Prince's mansion, they did not find a single person at the gate, not even a patrolling guard.

This made Liu Yuan immediately feel that something was wrong.

The Northern Prince's Mansion is such a large mansion, it's impossible that it doesn't even have a single guard.

It's possible that the Northern King learned of their impending arrival in advance and fled!

At this moment, Liu Yuan had no idea that the Northern Prince's Mansion might ambush them. After all, they had enough ninth-rank martial artists with them, and they didn't take the Northern Prince's Mansion seriously at all.

In Liu Yuan's view, even if the Northern King's Mansion knew they were coming, the Northern King would only be frightened and run away; he would not possibly turn around and ambush them.

Unless the Northern King has lost his mind, he wouldn't do something like this.

At this moment, Liu Yuan's face darkened.

If the Northern King has really escaped, it will probably take some time to kill him.

The people in the capital can't wait any longer, and I don't want to waste any more time.

Liu Yuan then ordered his men, "Search for me! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, find the Northern King for me!"
