Chapter 394 Leaving Dongfeng Country
When they arrived at the city gate, they had no choice but to find a corner to squat in and enter the city after dawn.
When Su Yue no longer saw them, she immediately put all the carriages into the space, even the carriage they were riding in.
Then Murong Li carried her in his arms and hurried on.
They first went to the Ten-Li Pavilion to take a look, but there was no one there, so the two of them went to the horse racing field.
Emperor Dong Feng knew that he was not dead, so he would send people to Qingniu Pass, so they would not wait.
When the two were about to reach the stables, Su Yue found a secluded place and prepared to collect the horses there.
Judging from today's assassination, Prime Minister Yang estimated that they had succeeded and the horses that had been prepared must have been invited back.
Then he won't be polite.
As for whether it would scare people, that is not their business.
Murong Li told Su Yue the location of the 10,000 horses.
Su Yue nodded, and her mental power covered the area directly. Sure enough, she saw the ten thousand horses. When she saw the ten thousand horses, she was furious. The ten thousand horses were all driven in the snow and ice. The horses were shivering with cold, and each horse's stomach was empty because they had not been fed any horse feed.
Su Yue was so angry that she wanted to die. If she didn't come to pick up the horses tonight, she would come to pick them up tomorrow. Almost all of them would have frozen to death. If she came to pick them up in a few days, all of these ten thousand horses would have turned into frozen meat.
How abominable! Su Yue cursed in her heart and quickly put the ten thousand horses into the space.
After disgusting him like this, she wanted to disgust them too.
Su Yue searched the horse farm with her mental power, and sure enough, she saw tens of thousands of horses in another place. These horses were strong and energetic, much better than the ten thousand horses.
When they were choosing horses, they must have chosen those that were old, weak, sick and disabled.
Su Yue became even more furious, and with a move of her mental power, she gathered all the horses in the stable into the space.
Let them lose the rice while trying to steal the chicken.
Tomorrow when they see that all the horses are gone, let them howl in horror.
"Murong Li, let's go now."
Murong Li nodded, picked her up and disappeared into the night.
The next morning, someone knocked on the door of Prime Minister Yang's residence. The doorman opened the door and saw several people in civilian clothes knocking on the door. He said impatiently, "You are knocking on the door so early in the morning. Do you know where this is?"
The people knocking on the door were the coachmen. They came to see Cao, the housekeeper of the Yang Mansion. Their mission had been completed, but they had not received the silver yet.
A driver immediately replied, "Please tell Steward Cao that we are the carriages that Steward Cao has arranged for us. We are here to collect the silver. We escorted Prince Li out of the city last night."
When the doorman heard that this was related to Prince Li, he knew that this matter could not be taken lightly. He looked at the few people and said, "Then you wait here. I will go in and inform them right away."
Several drivers nodded.
The doorman quickly found Butler Cao and told him what had happened. Butler Cao knew that Prince Li had been sent out of the city last night, and this seemed to be a bad thing, so he hurried to inform Prime Minister Yang.
Prime Minister Yang had just woken up and was about to attend the morning court when he saw Butler Cao rushing over. He quickly asked, "Why are you in such a hurry so early in the morning? What happened?"
Steward Cao quickly bowed and said, "Master, something terrible has happened. Prince Li left the capital last night. Our plan has failed."
Prime Minister Yang was startled. He immediately grabbed Butler Cao by the shoulders and asked sternly, "What did you say? Prince Li has left the capital, but he's not dead?"
Butler Cao's shoulder was painfully gripped by Prime Minister Yang, but he suppressed his pain and nodded, saying, "Those coachmen outside the door said so."
He was the one who hired the coachmen and the killers, and Butler Cao knew it very well.
Prime Minister Yang's forehead was throbbing. He shook off Cao Guan and hurried to the gate of the mansion.
At least thirty killers were hired yesterday. They were all ruthless killers who killed without blinking an eye. They would not stop until the mission was completed, so they failed anyway.
How powerful is Murong Li?
Prime Minister Yang was scared to death. Yesterday he let Murong Li return to the capital alone. With Murong Li's intelligence, he must be involved in the assassination. Would he take revenge on the Prime Minister's Mansion?
Prime Minister Yang arrived at the gate of the mansion in a panic. When he saw the coachmen, he felt like the sky was falling. He had seen these coachmen before. They were the ones who had been sent to the inn together.
Although the drivers knew him, they didn't know he was Prime Minister Yang. When they saw him come out, someone hurriedly said, "Sir, we're here to collect the silver. We escorted Prince Li out of the capital last night. Our mission is accomplished."
The drivers wanted to get the silver and go home quickly. They had been squatting at the foot of the imperial city all night. It was too cold and they didn't dare to sleep for fear that they would not wake up. Now they were tired, sleepy and hungry.
Prime Minister Yang pursed his lips and asked, "Tell me in detail what happened last night when you sent Prince Li away."
When the drivers heard him introduce himself, they realized that the man in front of them was Prime Minister Yang. They quickly told him in detail what had happened last night.
After hearing this, Prime Minister Yang slapped the door frame and said through gritted teeth, "What a Prince Li."
This person is too powerful, we must find a way to get rid of him at any cost.
He turned back and just then, Steward Cao came over. He told Steward Cao, "Give all the silver to him."
Butler Cao: "Yes, sir."
Prime Minister Yang originally wanted to return to his own courtyard, but after thinking it over, he turned back and asked Butler Cao to arrange a carriage so that he could go find the prince.
Butler Cao immediately arranged a carriage for him and only gave the silver to the coachmen after he got him on the carriage.
Prime Minister Yang hurried to the Prince's Mansion. The Prince was injured and was recuperating at home and did not need to attend court. Seeing that Prime Minister Yang did not go to court but came to the Prince's Mansion, he knew that something big must have happened, so he quickly took Prime Minister Yang to the study.
Prime Minister Yang then told the story of Murong Li.
The prince's eyes were filled with rage. This Prince Li was like an indestructible cockroach, impossible to kill. He asked, "How are things going with my father-in-law?"
He was asking about finding extraordinary people. Since Emperor Dong Feng asked him to find one, he would definitely send people to look for them, but he also asked Prime Minister Yang to help.
Prime Minister Yang’s network of contacts is no less than his, perhaps even wider.
Prime Minister Yang shook his head: "I went to do this yesterday afternoon, but it's not that fast. Even if we can find it, it will take at least ten days or half a month."
The prince lowered his eyelids. He was too anxious. There were not many extraordinary people on the street. It would take a while to find one.
"Your Highness, I know someone who might be able to deal with Prince Li."
After a while, Prime Minister Yang finally said that the man was Prince Rui's man, and he was reluctant to say it, but the matter was urgent, and he hoped that the prince could put aside the fight between brothers and get rid of Prince Li, the powerful foreign enemy, first.
