Chapter 31 This is your sincerity in discussing with me
No matter what the purpose of that person is, anyone who threatens his future must be eliminated. He has been dormant for so many years, and his years of hard work cannot be destroyed because of a moment of carelessness.
"Hiss." Liu Mingyue shivered in the night wind, rubbed her arms and glanced at Zui Xiang Lou behind her.
"Although the night wind is cool, it is summer after all. Why is it so cold?" Liu Mingyue shook her head. She slowly walked out of the red-light district and headed towards the Wei Temple a few miles away.
The place was actually quite far away, and it would take almost an incense stick of time to walk there. However, in order not to expose her whereabouts and not shoot herself in the foot, Liu Mingyue finally chose to walk there.
In addition, in order to avoid being followed or to be able to detect in time whether there was someone behind her, Liu Mingyue deliberately walked slowly, so that it would be easy for her to detect any movement behind her.
After walking for a long time in the night, Liu Mingyue finally stopped and looked at the towering temple that was completely dark without any lights. Liu Mingyue swallowed her saliva. Actually, she didn't like the dark and was even a little afraid of it. She was even more afraid in the dilapidated temple.
"For the sake of the plan, just bear with it." Liu Mingyue took a few deep breaths and encouraged herself.
Chi Hongyuan read the note and came to the Wei Temple. He was not afraid of the darkness. His five senses were sharp and he could sense if someone wanted to hurt him in secret. When the man stepped into the dilapidated temple, the smell of rotting wood rushed into his nose.
The man frowned slightly, but did not say anything. Instead, he walked around the dilapidated temple and found that there was really no one there.
"Could it be that I am late and the people have already left?" Chi Hongyuan looked around hesitantly. In the dim environment, his vision was limited, but he was sure that there was indeed no one in the temple, and there was not even a suspicious aura.
The man would send him a message and even say his nickname, so it couldn't be a prank. Chi Hongyuan thought for a moment and decided to wait in the temple for a while.
After waiting for a while, Chi Hongyuan's face changed and he cursed in a low voice: "Damn it."
After all, he was waiting for someone in a deserted place, so Chi Hongyuan was extremely alert and his nerves were tense.
Before a cup of tea had passed, Chi Hongyuan realized that something was wrong with his body. His limbs gradually became heavy. He blamed himself for underestimating the enemy.
Chi Hongyuan thought he had fallen into a trap and that the man was going to take his life, so without hesitation, he took out the flare he carried with him to lure his personal guards who were waiting not far away to come and rescue him.
"Your Highness, I think it would be better if you don't call anyone over. Otherwise, how can we discuss important matters?"
Liu Mingyue was sure that Chi Hongyuan had been poisoned by the cartilage powder, so she slowly walked in from outside the temple gate. The reason why Chi Hongyuan sensed someone's presence at the beginning was because she was not in the temple at all.
Seeing the other party coming in from outside, Chi Hongyuan sneered and said in a cold voice: "Really cautious, is this your sincerity in discussing with me?"
Chi Hongyuan didn't know the other person's background, but when he heard the other person call him the Ninth Prince, he would be lying if he said he wasn't frightened. Even if he had made preparations for a rainy day, who wouldn't be worried when facing someone who suddenly appeared and knew him well but didn't know the details?
After Liu Mingyue walked in, she kept a distance of ten steps from the other person, letting him know that she would not hurt him.
"Your Highness the Ninth Prince is wrong. When dealing with extraordinary people, we can only use extraordinary means." Liu Mingyue waved the folding fan in her hand, smiling as if she were bathed in spring breeze. She knew that she must look like she deserved a beating.
Chi Hongyuan didn't have time to chat and laugh with her. His voice was cold: "Who are you? Why did you ask me to come here? If you don't answer within three breaths, I will send out a signal flare to see who is faster, you or my people."
He doesn't have many personal guards under his command at the moment, but each of them is very skilled. Two fists are no match for four hands, so can this man really defeat ten alone?
"Hey! No, no, no! Your Highness, don't be impulsive. I really have no ill will towards you. People who practice martial arts should be able to detect murderous intentions. I don't want to kill you. I just want to reach a cooperation with you."
Liu Mingyue smiled apologetically. In front of Chi Hongyuan, she still had to restrain herself and not anger him.
"As for using cartilage powder, it was just a way to save my life. Your Highness is an excellent martial artist. Killing me would be as easy as crushing an ant. I am really scared."
Liu Mingyue spoke calmly of her fear, and Chi Hongyuan rolled his eyes at her.
She spoke with full energy and a smile on her face, but she didn't show any sign of panic.
"Oh, really, Your Highness is very cunning. If I hadn't been on guard, Your Highness would have killed me when I entered the temple just now. Your Highness, you came to keep the appointment with the intention of taking my life, didn't you?"
Liu Mingyue told Chi Hongyuan's inner thoughts in detail, but this was not because she knew him well.
But Chi Hongyuan's situation was somewhat similar to hers. They were both plotting a plan that could not be revealed to others, and their lives were at stake. If they failed, the people around them would also be implicated.
Who wouldn't be scared when someone whose identity you don't know suddenly appears and tells you things that are unknown to others? If you put yourself in Liu Mingyue's shoes, she would also kill someone who knows her plan but doesn't know the details.
The person in front of him might know some of the things he did in secret. This is what Chi Hongyuan thought before coming to the ruined temple.
Things that made him miscalculate happened one after another after he arrived at the ruined temple. On the one hand, he was careless for a moment and fell into the trap set by this person. On the other hand, this person knew him far more than he expected.
Chi Hongyuan looked at Liu Mingyue with eyes as cold as a sharp knife, which made Liu Mingyue feel uncomfortable all over. She could conclude that if this man had not been poisoned by the cartilage powder, he would still want to kill her even if he said this.
"What do you want?" Chi Hongyuan thought for a while, and the hand holding the flare was too heavy to move. He thought to himself that this man really had no intention of killing, so he might as well listen to what he wanted to do.
"I want His Highness the Ninth Prince to help me with something." Liu Mingyue stood in the dark, looking at Chi Hongyuan.
One of them is like a cunning fox, while the other is like a wolf with vicious eyes that has fallen into a trap.
Chi Hongyuan stared at her without saying a word, waiting for her to continue, not even wanting to ask.
Liu Mingyue couldn't help laughing. This Ninth Prince was really just like in his previous life, very secretive.
"I would like to ask for your help in saving Zhou Junyuan's life. It would be best if he could be killed within this year. As I have an imminent battle, I hope your Highness can take Zhou Junyuan's place."
When it came to serious matters, Liu Mingyue didn't waste any words and simply explained her purpose. One year was already the longest deadline she could give. If it was longer, there would be no need for the two of them to cooperate.
Due to the influence of the cartilage powder in his body, Chi Hongyuan could not stand and simply sat cross-legged to regulate his breathing. Hearing the name said by the other party, the dark man's eyebrows jumped: "Are you referring to the left and right Jinwu Guards generals?"
