Gou Zai Liang Jie as a Human Gu

Zhao Yuanheng was driven away by Lin Mo's scolding.

The insults were really nasty.

He couldn't win an argument with Lin Mo.

They wanted to use their power to suppress others, but the crown prince had no power or influence and could not suppress them.

Trying to use the power of immortal sects to suppress others is even more unreasonable.

Could it be that the imperial destiny you are currently carrying is a scheme orchestrated by my immortal sect? If he utters such words, he will undoubtedly be met with the Crown Prince's beheading blade.

Zhao Yuanheng could only slink away in disgrace.

However, the alliance did not go smoothly on this trip, but it was not entirely fruitless.

At least one thing has been achieved.

The Maitreya sect's Wheel-Turning Dharma King's plan to take the Crown Prince of Li as his disciple is most likely doomed to fail.

This is enough.

On the way back to Qianlong Town, Zhao Yuanheng rode his escape light, humming a little tune.

Suddenly, the light of escape paused, and a vague sense of unease crept into his heart.

"Strange, why am I suddenly feeling uneasy? Didn't I ruin the Maitreya Cult's plans?"

Zhao Yuanheng stopped his escape light and reviewed the whole incident.

No matter how he reviewed the situation, he felt he hadn't done anything wrong.

I did the right thing in the whole thing.

The only one who was angry was the Crown Prince.

How could the young master of Biyang curse people with such foul language?

"Vulgar, crude, and despicable!"

Zhao Yuanheng cursed a couple of times, then stopped doubting and started riding his escape light again.

……

Leaving the Prince's residence, inside the Crown Prince's courtyard.

Lin Mo ordered someone to treat Song Yan's injuries.

Even though Song Yan was wrapped up like a rice dumpling, he still had to get up and kowtow to thank the Crown Prince for his great kindness and virtue.

Lin Mo offered a few words of comfort, telling him to rest well and not to think about anything else.

After leaving Song Yan's room, Lin Mo did not return to his own room. It was still dark, so he used Stealth to leave Thunder Dragon City and went to the Armor-Piercing Camp.

"Who?" Inside the tent of [Midnight], his shouts were like a tidal wave. Suddenly, a martial artist's divine will alerted him, and he sprang up from the wooden bed.

Just as he was about to make a move, Lin Mo slapped him back onto the wooden bed.

"You audacious assassin, you're courting death."

[Cockcrow] Just then, a rooster burst out from the next tent. Upon seeing Lin Mo, it quickly stopped and asked in surprise, "Lin Mo, what are you doing here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

[Midnight] Rubbing his chest, he got up from the collapsed wooden bed and said irritably, "Couldn't you have at least let me know?"

Lin Mo ignored their complaints and said bluntly, "The matter is urgent..."

"You audacious thief, prepare to die!"

Zhang Zhiyuan also stormed in at this moment.

[Chicken Crow] grabbed him and slapped him on the forehead: "Shut up, it's the young master."

"Young Master?" Zhang Zhiyuan looked at Lin Mo in surprise. "How did you become an assassin?"

Lin Mo glanced at him and replied, "The assassin is from the Maitreya Cult, not me."

"The Maitreya Cult!"

The pupils of the three people suddenly contracted.

On the southeastern front, the imperial army is engaged in fierce fighting with the Xiang army. Nowadays, everyone who mentions the Maitreya sect looks solemn.

Lin Mo briefly explained the conspiracy of the Maitreya Sect's Wheel-Turning King.

[Chicken Crow] said with a gloomy face: "The dignified Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace has actually colluded with traitors. The Crown Prince has lost his virtue and should be deposed."

【Midnight】patted his arm and reminded him, "You're just a powerless good-for-nothing anyway, it doesn't matter whether you're good-for-nothing or not."

Zhang Zhiyuan looked at Lin Mo and asked curiously, "Why didn't you agree to form an alliance with the Crown Prince?"

Lin Mo gave him a deep look, his face full of disdain.

Zhang Zhiyuan felt intense contemptuous looks from the audience.

Not just one, but two.

Both "Midnight" and "Cockcrow" cast disdainful glances at him.

[Chicken Crow] said to Zhang Zhiyuan, "You should have a few more strategists by your side in the future, otherwise you might be used as a pawn one day and you won't even know how you died."

[Midnight] sighed, "How did this brainless girl become a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and even the Crimson Guard? The Embroidered Uniform Guard has fallen into depravity these days, recruiting all sorts of Tom, Dick, and Harry."

Zhang Zhiyuan was repeatedly scorned, and his face burned with embarrassment. Being scorned by others in turn was too shameful.

Is it wrong for the Prince and the Crown Prince to form an alliance to fight against the rebel army in Hong Kong?

Lin Mo explained, "The Crown Prince has no power; any promises he makes are simply impossible to keep."

"On the contrary, if the Prince Li's Mansion were to ally with him, it would only arouse Emperor Jingzhao's suspicion and lead to a joint rebellion. The Prince Li's Mansion is already under his guard, and now with the addition of the Crown Prince, do you intend to launch a massive military offensive and destroy Yunmengze?"

Zhang Zhiyuan was stunned; he truly hadn't expected that.

【Midnight】patted him on the shoulder and advised, "The power struggles in the imperial court are not something I can agree to just because I want to form an alliance with you. There are rules about who can befriended and who cannot befriended."

"Like the Crown Prince, he has long been a pawn in the power struggles of all parties."

"A discarded pawn?" Zhang Zhiyuan was still a little confused.

[Chicken Crow] Seeing that he was still confused, he rolled his eyes and explained, "The timing of the Crown Prince's departure from the capital to Yunxia Mountain to retrieve the elixir is too suspicious. This is clearly a pawn deliberately arranged by His Majesty to stir up trouble and profit from it."

"Or think about it, the Crown Prince raped and murdered innocent women along his way to Yunmengze. How could it be such a coincidence that he happened to rape and murder the wife and sister of the instructor from the Prince Li's mansion?"

Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly realized: "It was deliberately arranged. Who arranged it?"

[Midnight] coldly snorted: "It could be the Immortal Sect, or it could be the Maitreya Sect, it could be anyone. It could also be a consensus they reached together, pushing things along with each other, with the aim of getting Song Yan to assassinate the Crown Prince. Only when the Crown Prince, this pawn, has a conflict with the Li Prince's Mansion can the scheme unfold step by step. Otherwise, how can the waters be stirred up further?"

Zhang Zhiyuan sat blankly in the chair, as if he were a wooden statue. After a long while, he finally came to his senses and couldn't help but ask, "Why make things so complicated? I don't understand."

Lin Mo drew a circle on his temple with his finger: "The habitual thinking of smart people is to complicate simple problems so that they can appear sophisticated and intelligent, and thus be worthy of being on the table."

"If it is a simple killing to eliminate future troubles, it will only be condemned as vulgar and unworthy of respect."

Ok.

I'm stupid.

Zhang Zhiyuan resigned himself to his fate; he couldn't keep up with these people's thoughts.

It seems there's no hope of going any further from where I am.

[Chicken Crow] looked at Lin Mo and asked, "You came to see us so late at night, you must have your own plan, tell me."

Lin Mo replied, "I need you to help me kill someone."

"Who to kill?"

"Song Dynasty Inkstone".

"What?!"

The three of them were all shocked, their faces filled with disbelief. Lin Mo actually wanted to kill Song Yan.

Zhang Zhiyuan rubbed his ears, and asked doubtfully, "Did I hear that right? Lin Mo, who are you going to kill? Song Yan, why do you want to kill him? What did he do wrong? Just because he tried to assassinate the Crown Prince? The Crown Prince raped and killed his wife and sister. It's only right and reasonable for him to avenge his family. It's the behavior of a true man. What's wrong with that?"

[Midnight] nodded in agreement: "That's right, Song Yan did nothing wrong, so why kill him?"

[The rooster crowed] His brow furrowed, and he asked in a deep voice, "Tell me why you wanted to kill him?"
