Chapter 817 Helian Cheng's Terrible Idea

Faced with the questioning, Yun Xu retorted angrily, "Why me? Why can't it be you? You love to resort to underhanded methods, and you even have croton oil!"

Yunyan was startled and choked up, saying, "I'm afraid there are insects in the room, so..."

In this freezing weather, the insects would have already frozen to death.

If Yunyan doesn't stop her, that idiot Yunxu will definitely reveal their plan and betray her.

Yunyan wasn't sure if Yunxu had hidden something.

Several women came in the afternoon; who did the dirty work?

Yunyan was baffled and didn't want to easily accuse anyone, so she had no choice but to accept her bad luck.

"Alright, Yunxu and Yunyan, you two look terrible, you should stay in Yunzhao Pavilion."

After Granny Hua finished speaking, Yun Xu was stunned. Was she going to miss this opportunity that she had waited for for several years? No way!

Yunyan was completely at a loss. Sharing a room with Yunxu was truly the worst luck imaginable.

Normally, Yunyan is very tactful and gets along well with her sisters. She hasn't gotten in anyone's way, so she shouldn't be retaliated against.

Someone must have been unable to stand by and watch Yunxu go to her place, and since she shared a room with Yunxu, she was implicated and suffered the same fate.

“Granny Hua, the sisters have to wear veils when they dance, but I can.”

Compared to cloud fluff, cloud swallows are much lighter; just apply a thicker layer of powder on top.

"Yes, Granny Hua, Yunyan has been practicing for a long time, let her go."

Dancing with masks on is no problem; the sisters who were woken up pleaded for Yunyan's life.

Ultimately, this trip to Lord Helian's residence is an opportunity that none of the sisters can afford to miss. Even if they aren't favored, they're sure to receive a reward, so saving up money is always a good thing.

"Yunyan and Yunxu were in the same room, and they made such a commotion in the middle of the night..."

Granny Hua looked around at the people and said coldly, "How do you know if this disease is contagious? If it is, you won't be able to go either..."

Before Granny Hua could finish speaking, the sisters who had spoken up for Yunyan immediately apologized, saying that they had spoken up because they were too considerate of their sisterly bond.

What does it matter to them if Yunyan and Yunxu can't go? If it really gets infected, all the sisters in Yunzhao Pavilion will lose this opportunity.

The old fox was still the wisest; even though Yunyan had almost fully recovered, everyone still opposed her going along.

“Sister Yunyan, what Granny Hua said makes sense, and it’s for our own good. What if it’s contagious? Can you bear to see our sisters lose their chance because of you?”

Once Tongde kidnapped her, Yunyan had no reason to speak.

Before she could even begin to calculate her plans for the clouds, Yunyan was dragged down by the cloud fluff and could only hang her head and wipe away her tears.

...

In the twelfth lunar month, the wind was biting cold. Helian Cheng stood in the courtyard, arms crossed, waiting for a reply from the assassins he had sent out.

Judging by the time, the group should have returned long ago.

"grown ups."

Several assassins silently climbed over the wall, but their sudden shout startled Helian Cheng.

"Damn it, can't you make a little noise?"

Helian Cheng, who was daydreaming, snapped out of it and gave his subordinate a good scolding, then impatiently asked, "How did things go?"

If our side kills Lin Yuesha quietly, the Qi side will certainly not dare to make a fuss about it in order not to shake the morale of the army.

For the sake of her next plan, Lin Yuesha had to die.

Helian Cheng sent his elite troops, a dozen or so men, to assassinate a young girl, which he felt was a waste of their talents.

Therefore, Helian Cheng did not believe that he could fail so easily.

The guards exchanged glances, remaining silent. None of them dared to answer; they had failed.

Lin Yuesha only had four bodyguards, but each of them was a master among masters. Sixteen of them went, leaving only ten.

"Is he dead?"

Helian Cheng was asking about Lin Yuesha.

"Yes, he's dead."

His men assumed Helian Cheng was asking about the other brothers and replied sullenly.

"Assassinating a mere maid is indeed a waste of talent. Rest assured, I will never do such a thing again."

Helian Cheng assured his subordinates that once Lin Yuesha was dead, he would immediately implement his next plan.

"Yes, sir."

The mission failed, but instead of blaming everyone, Lord Helian comforted them. Although his words didn't sound like comfort, the men in black felt a warmth in their hearts, knowing that they had at least received the Lord's care.

"Alright, you can go now."

Helian Cheng waved his hand, and the assassins immediately fled.

Tsk tsk, Lin Yuesha, oh Lin Yuesha, blame it all on marrying Qi Heng; she's destined to die young. But it doesn't matter, he'll send Qi Heng down there as soon as possible so the two can meet in the underworld.

Helian Cheng drank all night, and the next morning, one of his men came to report.

"Lin Yuesha is dead. Is there any news from the Great Qi?"

"In reply to your question, sir, there is no such thing."

The Great Qi was like a stagnant pool; some saw Lin Yuesha's maid, Bai Cha, but no one saw Lin Yuesha herself. Moreover, the Prince of Luo had been drinking alone all night, presumably having received news of Lin Yuesha's assassination attempt.

"That's right, haha."

Helian Cheng laughed heartily, feeling delighted.

"Should we send the message out and demoralize the troops?"

His men chuckled along, only to be tossed a wine glass by Helian Cheng, who cursed, "You idiots!"

Undermining morale is a terrible strategy. Going to war with the Great Qi will inevitably involve real fighting. Soldiers need food and supplies to fight.

Helian Cheng killed Lin Yuesha not just to undermine the morale of the army. "Go, bring Miaoyin to me."

Helian Cheng paced around a few times with his hands behind his back. A moment later, a woman named Miaoyin entered through the curtain.

Upon closer inspection, Miaoyin's appearance was plain and unremarkable; she would not be recognized in a crowd.

"Miaoyin, have you met Lin Yuesha?"

Miaoyin had just disguised herself as Wuya, and even if Lord Wu were here, he wouldn't recognize that the person in front of him wasn't his daughter. That's how amazing the art of disguise is.

"Yes, sir."

Miaoyin had met Lin Yuesha before, so disguising herself wasn't difficult. She even imitated several of Lin Yuesha's favorite moves, ensuring she wouldn't give herself away.

"That's good. Now that she's dead, you are Lin Yuesha."

Helian Cheng narrowed his eyes. Lin Yuesha's body had been disposed of by their side, but they were unsure whether Luo Wang was still alive.

"Are you sending subordinates to Daqi?"

Miaoyin immediately understood that Wuya was not as useful as Lin Yuesha, and she would be given a new mission. However, she did not want to go to Daqi.

Qi Heng was ruthless and cruel. In his presence, Miao Yin was afraid of being exposed and always dared not look him in the eye.

She had dealt with Qi Heng before, and if she hadn't run fast, she wouldn't be alive now.

Mentioning Qi Heng made Miao Yin tremble for no reason. Would Qi Heng see through her disguise as Lin Yuesha?

"No, let's not go to Daqi yet, let's stay in Jinyuguan."

Helian Cheng swirled his wine glass. He hadn't expected that Lin Yuesha would be targeted by Yuwen Kun, the city lord of Sishui City. This was a great opportunity. "You disguise yourself as Lin Yuesha first. Then I'll send someone to tie you up and hand you over to Yuwen Kun."
