Today is a rare day of good weather. As the New Year approaches, vendors selling rice cakes and New Year pictures have begun to go from street to street, hawking their wares.
Prince Yu sat in the carriage, looking at the bustling crowd on the street with indifference in his eyes.
I don't know who leaked the news, but the girls I had prepared under the pretext of buying maids were all taken back by the Jinyiwei and replaced by a group of servants.
The people he brought with him were naturally trustworthy, and the ones who leaked the information could only be those sent by the emperor to serve him.
Thinking of this, Prince Yu suddenly felt a little irritated.
It is called serving, but in fact it is surveillance.
After all, he is the emperor's biological brother. But now, in the emperor's heart, even an outsider like Jiang Zhiyu cannot compare to him.
I did something wrong before, but didn’t I correct it later?
Didn’t my brother also contribute to his position?
The more Prince Yu thought about it, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart, "ungrateful person."
The carriage drove for a while, the noise gradually faded away, and the servant driving the carriage uttered a cry and said, "Your Highness, we've arrived."
Prince Yu lifted the curtain of the carriage and Erzhu Huaji was already waiting at the door.
Prince Yu lifted the curtain of the carriage, got out, stretched out his arm to put his arm around his shoulders, and half embraced and half hugged him as they walked into the palace.
Erzhu Huaji's body stiffened. While talking to him, he tried to avoid him vaguely, but Prince Yu's hand seemed to be stuck on his shoulder and he couldn't avoid it no matter what.
There is only one advantage to being at such a close distance, which is that it makes it easier for him to cast the curse.
The black poisonous insect crawled along Erzhu Huaji's fingertips and reached the back of Prince Yu's neck.
"Hiss," Prince Yu reached out and touched the back of his neck. It seemed to have felt a sharp pain just now.
He finally let go. Fearing that he would become suspicious, Erzhu Huaji blinked and said, "Your Highness, please don't move. It seems like a poisonous insect has fallen on you just now."
Prince Yu: “!!!”
He froze in place, a look of fear in his eyes: "Quick, quick, take it out!"
Taking advantage of the fact that he couldn't see, Erzhu Huaji took a step forward, a flash of contempt in his eyes, reached out and touched the back of his neck, then put the wriggling white poisonous insect in his hand in front of his eyes.
"Your Highness, don't worry. Without a trigger and a wound, the Gu worm cannot enter the human body."
Seeing the poisonous insect in his hand, Prince Yu's eyes were filled with fear and he took a few steps back.
He secretly annoyed himself for not listening to his staff's advice yesterday and taking some precautions, but now that he was here, if he went back home because of a small poisonous insect, wouldn't that just add to their ridicule?
He coughed lightly, and the charm in Erzhu Huaji's voice disappeared when he saw the poisonous insect wriggling at his fingertips.
"You'd better keep this kind of thing. It's fine if it's just me today, but if it were anyone else, and they filed a complaint with the emperor, you'd be in big trouble!"
Erzhu Huaji saw that he was obviously afraid, but he still pretended to be calm and chuckled: "Your Highness is right."
After entering the house, Tudola was able to walk, but she still looked a little uncomfortable. However, she was much better than the previous few days.
Prince Yu's eyes were filled with shock.
This witch doctor is so powerful, if I could recruit him...
Tudora bowed to Prince Yu. Prince Yu briefly inquired about her health and then said straight to the point, "I came here today to ask you to get rid of someone."
Erzhu Huaji and Tudola looked at each other and looked at Prince Yu in confusion.
"You know this man," Prince Yu continued, "it's Jiang Zhiyu, the man who caused the princess to suffer this disaster."
“…”
The two men fell silent. Prince Yu assumed they were trying to figure out how to ask for favors, so he said, "Don't worry, both of you. Once this is accomplished, I will inform you of the tactics on the front lines."
Tudola blinked and remained silent. Prince Yu didn't look at her much, but looked at Erzhu Huaji.
In his opinion, Erzhu Huaji was the one who made the decision.
What's more, for Nan Gu, this matter is a sure win.
Firstly, it can avenge the death of Prince Malzahar. Secondly, one Jiang Zhiyu can change the front-line tactics and one person can save the lives of hundreds of Nan Gu soldiers. It is an excellent choice no matter how you think about it.
They have no reason to reject themselves.
Prince Yu raised the corners of his lips slightly.
Didn't the emperor value Jiang Zhiyu? I wanted to see what the emperor would do after Jiang Zhiyu died.
Should he help her get revenge first, or should he use himself as bait to catch Liu Jie?
He was previously blinded by anger, but now that he thought about it carefully, Prince Yu found something unreasonable.
How did the emperor know that Liu Jie had a grudge against him?
He should have almost killed all the people involved in the incident. Moreover, the incident happened in the northwest, his territory, so how could the news reach Shengjing and the emperor's ears?
Unless, in the northwest, there are also spies of the emperor!
A cold light flashed in Prince Yu's eyes.
No matter who it is, once he finds a way to find that person, he will let that person know the price of betrayal.
Prince Yu fell into deep thought, as did Erzhu Huaji beside him. He secretly watched Tudora's eyes, and when he saw that Tudora didn't respond, he said, "Jiang Zhiyu is a doctor. Malzahar was defeated by her before. Moreover, she is also very powerful. It will be difficult to kill her."
Erzhu Huaji didn't know how much information Prince Yu had about Jiang Zhiyu, so he tried to test him.
Prince Yu scoffed, "Her medical skills aren't as good as a witch doctor's, they're just a little better than others, but they're not that miraculous. As for her martial arts prowess," Prince Yu paused and continued, "My personal guard, a top-tier martial arts expert, has told me that her skills are nothing more than fancy moves. How could a teenage girl, even if she's been practicing martial arts since she was a child, be truly exceptional?"
"So, just go ahead and do it without worry. I trust you."
Erzhu Huaji: "..."
Tudora: "..."
What nonsense is this person talking about?!
If the two of them had not experienced being forced by Jiang Zhiyu to feed poison by force, and the witch doctor had not discovered the poison Jiang Zhiyu had put in, just by listening to Prince Yu's tone and the determined look in his eyes at this moment, they would really believe that Jiang Zhiyu was the person Prince Yu mentioned.
The intelligence collected was completely different from the facts. How did he do it?!
Erzhu Huaji looked at Prince Yu with a hint of admiration for a moment.
While admiring him, he was also full of doubts about the so-called frontline tactics mentioned by Prince Yu.
Based on the way he obtained intelligence, are we sure that the front-line tactics were not calculated by someone?
If they take this kind of information back to Nan Gu, it won't be saving people from danger, but pushing their Nan Gu warriors into the fire pit!
Erzhu Huaji was complaining madly in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
