When the two saw this, they looked at each other and didn't notice anything unusual.
But Lu Xingzhou and Wang Wentian both knew that the monk's appearance here at this time must not be just to chant scriptures.
The two hid in the dark and decided to wait and see.
Sure enough, after a moment, a man in a black robe was seen walking towards the wing room.
The man made sure that no one was following him, so he slipped into the room and quickly closed the door.
Lu Xingzhou and Wang Wentian jumped up and climbed onto the roof, looking down through the gaps in the roof tiles to observe the situation inside the house.
As soon as the man entered the room, he took off his black robe, revealing a wanton and ostentatious face.
Lu Yuan!
Lu Xingzhou looked at that face and confirmed his previous guess.
It was indeed him.
Lu Xingzhou on the roof clenched his fists. He was very angry at anyone who destroyed the alliance between Da Chu and Jin, not to mention that this person was actually the prince of Da Chu!
At this moment, Lu Xingzhou was extremely disappointed.
The two people in the room did not notice Lu Xingzhou and Wang Wentian on the roof.
When the monk saw Lu Yu'an, he actually knelt down.
"I'm sorry, Second Prince. Shi Nan has not completed the task assigned by the Second Prince."
The monk lowered his head, waiting for Lu Yu'an's punishment.
Lu Yuan was silent for a moment, then waved his hand: "In the final analysis, it was our own intelligence error. We had never heard that the Crown Prince of Jin was also a skilled person."
Shi Nan still kept his head down and did not dare to speak.
He really didn't expect to have a martial arts competition with He Zan, but no matter what, he always failed. According to Lu Yu'an's instructions, he was supposed to take He Zan's life, but he failed to do so.
Lu Yu'an added, "We originally wanted to kill He Zan. Although we didn't succeed, we have now successfully alienated He Zan and Lu Xingzhou, which means we have completed half of our plan."
Shi Nan asked, "Then, how do we explain it over there?"
Lu Xingzhou was listening on the beam, and had no idea what Shi Nan meant by "that side".
Lu Yu'an sneered and said, "What's there to explain? He Zan has been under his nose for so long, and he can't get rid of him. Is he relying on us?"
Lu Yu'an's eyes swept coldly over Shi Nan who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Alright, get up."
Shi Nan stood up, still with his head lowered.
"However, we still need to keep an eye on Lu Xingzhou," Lu Yu'an warned. "He must be suspicious now. Let's see what his next move is."
"Yes." Shi Nan replied.
Lu Yu'an thought about it and asked again: "How is the investigation going?"
"Replying to the Second Prince, there is still no clue." Shi Nan replied with his head down.
Lu Yu'an frowned and said, "Continue to investigate. You can take action if necessary."
"Yes." Shi Nan responded again.
Lu Xingzhou, who was on the roof, was shocked when he heard this. What on earth were they planning? And what was "that thing"?
Lu Xingzhou decided to wait and see what Lu Yu'an would do next. Meanwhile, he was also thinking about how to deal with the current situation.
Lu Yu'an had risked his life to come here at night; it must be something very important. "Although we failed to assassinate He Zan this time, it wasn't all in vain. As long as we closely monitor Lu Xingzhou's every move, we'll definitely find an opportunity to bring him down." A sly glint flashed in Lu Yu'an's eyes.
Then, he turned to Shi Nan and said, "You must be careful and not let Lu Xingzhou notice anything unusual. If anything happens, report it to me immediately."
After saying that, Lu Yu'an hurriedly left the room.
Lu Xingzhou, on the rooftop, frowned, thinking to himself, "It seems Lu Yu'an is colluding with that mysterious 'over there' and is plotting a massive conspiracy. I must be extra careful to avoid falling into their trap."
Lu Xingzhou decided to secretly investigate the matter and uncover the truth behind Lu Yu'an. At the same time, he also planned to use this opportunity to carefully plan how to protect the alliance between Da Chu and Jin.
After all, Lu Yu'an came here in disguise, so he couldn't stay here for long.
After finishing the business, Lu Yu'an left quickly.
Lu Yu'an left, and Shi Nan also quickly left the room.
Lu Yu'an waved his hand to call over the secret guards who had been hiding in the night, and ordered: "Keep an eye on Lu Yu'an, and report any situation in time."
The secret guard bowed and quickly disappeared into the night.
Lu Xingzhou and Wang Wentian quietly followed Shi Nan, wanting to see where he would go next.
Shi Nan arrived at a secluded hut, looked around, and then entered. Lu Xingzhou and Wang Wentian approached the house and eavesdropped on the conversation inside.
"Master, the Second Prince asked me to keep an eye on Lu Xingzhou."
"Well, you did a great job. Lu Yu'an, this idiot, thinks he's smart, but he doesn't know that he's just someone else's pawn."
"Master, what should we do next?"
"Proceed as planned. We can't let Lu Yu'an ruin our plans. As for Lu Xingzhou, find a chance to get rid of him. We can't let him interfere with our plans."
Lu Xingzhou and Wang Wentian exchanged a look of shock. It turned out there was a mastermind behind Shi Nan, and this mastermind's goal wasn't just to assassinate He Zan; there was a much bigger conspiracy.
This matter is of great importance. It not only concerns the alliance between the Great Chu and the State of Jin, but also concerns the foundation of the Great Chu.
Lu Xingzhou did not dare to act on his own. He discussed with Wang Wentian and decided to write the matter into a secret report and submit it to Emperor Jingkang.
Lu Xingzhou didn't come back, and Shen Liyue couldn't sleep.
Finally hearing some movement outside the door, Shen Liyue hurried over to meet them.
"How is it? Is there any danger?" Shen Liyue asked with concern.
Lu Xingzhou shook his head, but his expression was very serious.
