Gou Zai Liang Jie as a Human Gu

Chapter 40 The Embroidered-Clad Guards' Secret Plot, the Fragrance of Elixir Fills the Mountain

Li Muqing was speechless after being retorted. She hesitated for a moment, wanting to refute and save face for herself, but found that she couldn't refute at all.

"All you do is bully me."

Li Muqing stomped her foot in embarrassment and anger, then turned and ran away.

Lin Mo pouted: "Women and petty men are the hardest to deal with."

His sharp gaze swept across the base of the screen wall, where some daring and fearless individuals were still spying.

Lin Mo shouted sternly, "Get out!"

The immense energy surged and roared, terrifying the spying guards of the Prince's mansion so much that they fled in terror, letting out a scream.

Lin Mo withdrew his inner energy and returned to the backyard.

Liu Yingying immediately served tea and snacks and greeted them, her face full of joy.

Having Lin Mo is like having a priceless treasure; it can bring her peace of mind.

"Darling, have some tea." Liu Yingying picked up the celadon teacup with her delicate hands and personally fed it to Lin Mo's lips.

Lin Mo took a sip of tea and pulled the beauty into his arms.

Liu Yingying giggled and immediately met his warm, red lips, biting them tightly!

……

In Qingshui Town, there is a two-courtyard house.

Wei Chong died, and Zhou Liehu also reaped the consequences of his own actions, dying from poisoning.

Currently, among this group of guards, the deputy captain Wang Chong is the most senior.

Everyone looked at him and asked, "Brother Chong, should we report this to the young master?"

Snapped!

Wang Chong slapped him hard across the face, cursing, "Tell the young master so he can punish you for incompetence?"

The beaten guard lowered his head and repeatedly admitted his mistake: "It was my oversight. This matter must not be told to the young master."

"No, if we conceal it, the Crown Prince will definitely hold us accountable and punish us for concealing it," Wang Chong said in a deep voice, analyzing the pros and cons.

Everyone present was stunned.

Reporting it is wrong, but not reporting it is also wrong.

What should we do?

"Brother Chong, what should we do?"

Wang Chong's face was gloomy, and his brows were tightly furrowed.

He was at a loss for what to do.

Suddenly.

His chaotic thoughts seemed to be stirred by an invisible hand, clearing away the clouds and revealing the sun, and his mind immediately became clear.

"I will handle this matter as I see fit. As for the young master, I will give him my own explanation. You don't need to concern yourselves with this. I have other matters to attend to and will be going out for a while."

Wang Chong gave a deep order, then took his sword, and under the cover of night, leaped onto the roof and disappeared into the darkness.

……

The Liu Family Villa.

Dresses were scattered all over the floor inside the room, and Lin Mo sat cross-legged in the spring sunshine.

Suddenly, his spiritual senses detected someone breaking into the courtyard and lurking on the roof.

Lin Mo immediately drew his sword and leaped onto the roof like a nimble ape.

Wang Chong, who had just arrived, had just raised his right foot, intending to make some noise to alert Lin Mo inside the house.

He was discovered as soon as he reached the rooftop. Embarrassed, he lowered his raised right foot and bowed respectfully, saying, "The Golden Knife is indeed extraordinary. I admire it greatly."

Lin Mo leaned his sword against the roof ridge, his gaze coldly fixed on Wang Chong: "I saw you during the day; you're from the Li Prince's residence."

Wang Chong nodded in acknowledgment: "Yes, Wang Chong has met you before, young hero. May we have a chat?"

Lin Mo asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

Wang Chong looked around and asked in a low voice, "May I speak with you in private? This is not the place to talk."

Lin Mo jumped down, and Wang Chong followed.

Inside the flower hall.

Wang Chong spoke to Lin Mo in a low, secretive tone: "You are a wandering swordsman, have you ever thought about making a name for yourself?"

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes, his gaze flickering, and retorted, "What do you mean by that?"

Wang Chong sneered, "Everyone knows that Prince Li has rebellious intentions. If you can kill Prince Li's heir, you will become famous and renowned. At that time, you will surely be rewarded by the court, enter the government, and be granted a title and the position of prime minister."

Lin Mo scoffed, "Do you think I'm stupid? If I kill the crown prince, I'll become a wanted criminal, let alone enter the court as an official, be ennobled, or appointed prime minister? Is that even possible?"

"You are mistaken," Wang Chong revealed his ambition: "As long as the crown prince is killed and his name and surname are changed, his former self will have nothing to do with you anymore."

Lin Mo stared coldly at him, and demanded in a sharp voice, "Speak! Who exactly are you?"

Wang Chong clasped his hands in a fist and said, "To be honest, I belong to the Embroidered-Robe Commandery."

Embroidered-Robe Guard?

Lin Mo's pupils suddenly contracted.

To everyone's surprise, Wang Chong was actually a secret agent of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Embroidered Robe Guard, also known as the Embroidered Robe Guard, the Imperial Embroidered Platform, or the Axe-Holding Guard, was a military unit.

The headquarters was set up at the Zhizhitai, with branches in the prefectures and kingdoms of the empire called the "Embroidered Robe Branch Offices." They were directly under the emperor, bypassing the Three Dukes and the Grand Censor. They carried the imperial axe and tiger tally, and could execute first and report later.

It was not subject to the jurisdiction of the Three Dukes, and combined the functions of inspection, suppression of rebellions, and imperial prison administration. It reached directly to the inner court, handled major cases throughout the country, and supervised all officials and the movements of vassal kings.

In short, the guy in front of you is a spy.

Lin Mo's face darkened, and he asked in a low voice, "You want to use me to get rid of the Crown Prince, severely damage the Prince of Li, and thus send a warning to prevent the Prince of Li from rebelling, while you also profit from it, gain merit, and be promoted."

"That's right." Wang Chong stated his intentions directly.

"You are a smart man; it's so convenient to talk to smart people."

"As a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, I cannot take direct action, but you are different. You are a member of the martial arts world. As long as you can accomplish this, I will help you get a new identity. There will be no trouble at all. If you are willing to serve the court, I can also recommend you to join the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Once you join the Embroidered Uniform Guard, you will be promoted to a high-ranking position and enjoy wealth and honor in the near future."

I don't believe you, you old hag!

Lin Mo thought to himself, "Those who do espionage are lucky if they aren't silenced afterward."

He was even granted a title and appointed prime minister?

Do you really think I watched those spy dramas for nothing?

Next, Lin Mo ignored Wang Chong's rambling and various enticing words, letting them go in one ear and out the other, treating them as nothing more than farts.

Wang Chong swallowed hard, clearing his dry throat, and continued in a hoarse voice, "Liu Yingying is the perfect excuse to lure the prince out and assassinate him. If you are interested, I can make this happen. When you achieve fame and fortune and receive rewards from the court, don't forget the benefits I've brought you, hehe."

"How could I forget?" Lin Mo flattered him, "It's such a good thing that Wang Xiuyi remembers me. It's my honor. So it's settled then. Once the elixir is refined on Yunxia Mountain, we'll act according to plan and kill this damned prince with one blow."

"Great!" Wang Chong excitedly stretched out his right hand.

Snapped!

The two made a vow by high-fiving, thus forming an alliance.

Wang Chong withdrew his hand, and the two looked at each other and laughed, their laughter both cunning, more treacherous than old foxes!

After seeing Wang Chong off, Lin Mo's smile suddenly turned cold.

He understood Wang Chong's thoughts.

He just wanted to use his position to get promoted and make money.

If the crown prince is really killed, then I will be the next one to be silenced.

"Do you really think I'm stupid? The moment the fake prince was tricked into coming here, I killed you along with him!"

A chilling glint flashed in Lin Mo's eyes.

Suddenly.

A refreshing medicinal fragrance wafted into the flower hall.

Taking a breath, you feel light and airy, as if you're about to ascend to heaven.

The fragrance comes from the courtyard.

Lin Mo couldn't help but feel curious. He went outside and found the courtyard filled with a white mist and the fragrance of medicine.

The withered grass in the yard has been revitalized and is growing vigorously.

Flowers and plants that are not yet in season quickly sprout buds on their branches, blooming in the dead of night, filling the courtyard with fragrance or a strong medicinal aroma.

Lin Mo activated his Heavenly Eye Technique to trace the source of the fragrance.

The white mist and medicinal fragrance continued to intensify, originating from the mountains outside the town.

Yunxia Mountain!

The fragrance of herbs was so strong that it cascaded down like a waterfall for miles around Fuze Mountain.

The Spirit Essence Pill is nearing completion, but a storm is brewing!
