Capital city, Zhao Muyun's official residence.
The festive decorations for the wedding became more and more intense, with red silk paving the road and lanterns hanging high, creating an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.
However, the security inside the mansion was extremely strict.
Zhao Muyun looked at the secret report presented by Wu Shangzhi, which detailed the newly added surveillance points in the Eastern Palace, the staff rotation schedule, and several dangerous locations where assassins were suspected to be ambushed.
"I can't help it..."
Zhao Muyun sneered and held the secret report close to the candle flame, watching it turn into ashes. "It seems that he really likes this 'gift' I gave him."
He walked to the table, spread out a detailed map of the capital's surroundings, and slowly moved his finger across it.
Finally, it stopped at the three words "Black Wind Gorge".
This is the only way to Tianzi Mountain. The canyon is deep, the road is narrow, and there are dense forests on both sides. It is indeed an ideal place to set an ambush.
"Right here."
Zhao Muyun tapped the map. "Let our men deliberately reveal a flaw there, making it look like they're urgently surveying the terrain, but also making it more obvious. Show it to the prince's assassins."
"yes!"
Wu Shangzhi's eyes flashed with excitement. "Boss Zhao, how are we going to deal with this? Do we really have to force our way in?"
"Break in by force?"
Zhao Muyun shook his head, a cold arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, "That's suicide. What we want is an accident, not real death. Li Si,"
"I'm here!"
"Are the substitutes, blood bags, and special carriages I asked you to prepare all ready?"
"It's absolutely foolproof! The double looks 70% like the boss, and with the serious injuries, it's hard to tell them apart. The blood sac is so real it's hard to tell apart."
"The carriage floor is equipped with hidden compartments and mechanisms that can partially shatter when hit by a huge force, creating the illusion of falling off a cliff or into the water, but in reality, the person will fall into a pre-set buffer net or waterway."
"The driver is our best scout. He is proficient in water and knows the terrain well."
"Alright." Zhao Muyun's eyes were calm. "Let's choose the time three days before the wedding. I'll leave the city under the pretext of 'going to Tianzi Mountain to express my gratitude and report on defense matters.'"
"The Crown Prince will definitely not let go of this opportunity to 'legitimately' allow me to leave the capital and take action midway."
He looked out the window at the dark night and said in a low but firm voice, "This is a risky move, but it is also the only chance to escape from this cage."
"Once I succeed, I will go from open to covert. The Crown Prince's crime of murdering meritorious officials will never be cleared even if he jumps into the Yellow River! And only then can the Northern Frontier... be truly managed according to my will!"
"We will follow you until death!" Wu Shangzhi and Li Si knelt on one knee, their eyes full of determination.
