Yinxiang, dressed in black, nodded to Zhu Wanqing and analyzed, "The Fourteenth Prince has something to do tonight, so he is not guarding Wanyan."
The maid on night watch went to sleep after midnight. The two guards outside were also at their most exhausted. Tonight is the best opportunity! Zhu Wanqing sheathed her sword, her tone resolute: "Tonight is Wanyan's death night!"
Zhu Wanqing and Yinxiang secretly sneaked into the vicinity of Wanyan's house. They threw two hidden weapons from the shadows, and in an instant, the two guards were killed in their sleep and fell to the ground. Zhu Wanqing and Yinxiang looked at each other, nodded, and one in front and the other behind, back to back, approached Wanyan's house step by step.
Zhu Wanqing gently pushed open the door and tiptoed into the room. Yinxiang cautiously looked around. Yinxiang indicated to Zhu Wanqing that everything was normal before Zhu Wanqing approached Wanyan's bedside with peace of mind. In the moonlight, Wanyan's quilt was curled up, resembling the shape of a person.
Zhu Wanqing picked up her sword, sneering at the person on the bed. "Don't blame me! Blame yourself for blocking my way!" Before she finished speaking, she lunged at the person under the covers. Unexpectedly, the person didn't react. Angered, Zhu Wanqing threw back the covers, revealing only two pillows. Realizing this, Zhu Wanqing was about to turn around when a sword slashed down, and a man in black leaped out of thin air.
Zhu Wanqing drew her sword to block, but lost her balance and crashed into a tall cabinet beside the bed. Watching the vase fall helplessly, she cried out inwardly, "Oh no!" A clear voice shattered the tranquility of the night. Yinxiang, hearing the commotion, rushed into the room and saw Zhu Wanqing gripping her sword with both hands, desperately blocking the blade that was about to strike her. Without time to think, she rushed forward, but the man in black reacted quickly, leaning back to dodge and sweeping his sword horizontally. Yinxiang countered with a flying kick, forcing Ling Xiao to retreat two steps.
Yinxiang quickly helped Zhu Wanqing up. Zhu Wanqing glanced at Yinxiang and said, "We'll take it!" Yinxiang shielded Zhu Wanqing behind her and said, "Leader, go quickly! I'll cover you!" She then pushed Zhu Wanqing aside and lunged at the man in black. The man in black, wielding his sword, parried each attack. Just as Zhu Wanqing was about to leave, Yinxiang kicked over a large vase beside her. The loud shattering sound and the shards blocking her path created a huge obstacle. While Zhu Wanqing hesitated, the Fourteenth Prince arrived with several guards.
After learning of Zhu Wanqing and her maid's plan, Ling Xiao went to Wanyan's room and told her to hide under the bed at night. Wanyan then ordered her maid to lay down bedding in the gap under her bed, where she hid every night.
Now, as Zhu Wanqing assassinated the two guards, Lady Wanyan, hiding under the bed, heard the commotion and was terrified. The sound of Zhu Wanqing stabbing towards the bed made her too scared to even breathe!
Ling Xiao knew that the Fourteenth Prince's residence was not far from here. The main problem was that the fighting would be too loud and would alert everyone, including the Fourteenth Prince. As long as the Fourteenth Prince saw Zhu Wanqing assassinate Wanyan Shi with his own eyes, even if Zhu Wanqing had a thousand mouths, she would not be able to explain it clearly. At that time, the relationship between the two would break down, and it would not be so difficult to wipe out the White Lotus Sect.
As expected, Ling Xiao's plan succeeded, and Zhu Wanqing and Yinxiang were trapped in Wanyan's house.
Hiding under the bed, Wanyan was so frightened that she trembled and dared not utter a sound.
Zhu Wanqing gripped the sword tightly in despair.
