They will not harm their families.

Unfortunately, that's just a hypothetical situation, and how many times in a person's life can they have such a choice?

Sometimes they didn't even have a choice, because their master was ultimately not Zhu Yunwen.

It was those two scoundrels, father and son.

This seems like something that can't be changed, but who knows?

At this moment, the two burly men knelt on the ground, both looking at Zhu with pleading eyes.

Zhu Yunwen naturally noticed this as well, and upon arrival, he inquired:

“What do you want me to do for you? Just say it. You have done me a favor, and I will do it for you. Besides, I bear an indirect but inescapable responsibility for the deaths of your family members.”

Upon hearing Zhu Yunwen's words, the burly man hurriedly replied:

"Your Highness, this matter has nothing to do with you. In their eyes, it's a mission that has been completed, yet our families are still going to die. If the mission is not completed, the consequences will be even worse."

Moreover, even without this assassination mission, there would be other missions in the future. We were all going to die anyway, but knowing this is our fate now is truly tragic.

We only ask that Your Highness, the Crown Prince, not feel any guilt. Besides, we do indeed have something to ask of Your Highness.

Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly and asked:

"What is it? Speak."

The two burly assassins both seemed somewhat excited, and then Zhang San said:

"After learning that our families, and the families of our assassin brothers, had all died, we once wanted to storm into the palace of Chechi Kingdom and kill those two hateful guys."

However, we do not have the ability to do so, so we request Your Highness the Crown Prince to kill that hateful father and son if possible.

"I believe in Your Highness, you have the ability. With just a word from you, your armed soldiers can easily storm the palace of Chechi Kingdom and kill those two devils."

Zhu Yunwen agreed without hesitation:

"Alright, I can do this for you. I can even promise you that the father and son from Chechi Kingdom will definitely die."

Whether it's out of personal grudges, for reasons of the bigger picture, or to avenge your family.

I would do that, but it's not the right time yet. Chechi Kingdom has already clashed with the Ming Dynasty, and I need to wait and see.

But you must believe me, the day I reveal my identity and take that position will be the day of life and death for the King and Prince of Chechi. There will be absolutely no change in that.

Hearing Zhu Yunwen say this, the two burly men finally showed a relieved expression.

They have no other thoughts now; all they want is revenge—revenge for their families and revenge for themselves.

After all, they were loyal to the Kingdom of Chechi, yet they ended up in such a state. They felt their lives were not worth it and wanted to seek justice for themselves.

Then the burly man asked Zhu Yunwen, "Your Highness, now that our family members are dead, there is no need for you to continue faking your death. Why don't you reveal your identity?"

Zhu Yunwen smiled and said:

"Because some problems have been discovered within the court, and naturally they need to be addressed, but now is not the time; we need to let things play out for a while."

Neither of them understood what it meant to let the bullets fly for a while, but they also understood that there were some issues they didn't need to concern themselves with.

So the big man said to Zhu Yunwen again:

"We two also have an unrequited love for each other. We hope that from now on we can follow His Highness the Crown Prince, serve him faithfully, and do anything for him."

Zhu Yunwen nodded:

"Alright, then you can inquire about things for me in your spare time. I can't show my face right now, so please help me find out more about the Ming Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, the two burly men realized that spontaneous combustion was not a problem. Their mood also improved somewhat.

They thought that they had suffered so much because they hadn't followed the right master in the first half of their lives, but things were different now.

So, the two burly men then went out to collect various kinds of information for Zhu Yunwen on a regular basis.

For example, the affairs between the Ming Dynasty and the Chechi Kingdom, and some of the clandestine activities of Prince Zhu Gang of Jin.

These two guys are assassins after all, so their methods of gathering information and carrying out clandestine actions are quite professional.

Each time, he managed to bring back some new information for Zhu Yunwen.

On the surface, Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu lived a normal life in the valley, but in reality, he was still fully aware of the situation and actions of all parties.
