The Eighth Prince's sedan chair swayed and rocked its way toward the Eighth Prince's Mansion. The night was as dark as ink, and there was no wind at all, but as a few figures passed by, a gust of wind suddenly rose, stirring the leaves on the roadside branches.
Several figures followed the Eighth Prince's sedan chair until it arrived at the Eighth Prince's residence. The Eighth Prince got out of the sedan chair and walked straight into the house. Over the next few days, they gradually walked to the middle of the road and watched as the Eighth Prince's voice disappeared.
The group exchanged a glance, turned and left, running swiftly along the quiet path without making a sound, leaving no trace except for the wind.
Before long, they arrived outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The Fourth Prince was resting in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Only a few lamps were lit in the hall, and it was so quiet that even his breathing could be heard.
After those men arrived, Su Peisheng went into the bedchamber and whispered by the bedside, "Your Majesty, the spies you arranged have all arrived."
Fourth Master frowned, then quickly opened his eyes, his mind clearing instantly. He threw off the covers and got up.
Su Peisheng hurriedly helped the Fourth Master put on his shoes, and the Fourth Master asked, "How long have they been here?"
"They've only been here for a quarter of an hour."
If these people come, Fourth Master will receive them no matter when.
After he had put on his clothes and shoes, the Fourth Prince strode out of the bedchamber and into the main hall. When the spies saw the Fourth Prince, they quickly knelt down and bowed, saying, "This servant greets Your Majesty."
"Get up!" Fourth Master sat on the golden nanmu chair, and Su Peisheng brought him a cup of tea and stood to the side.
"Your Majesty, this servant saw the Eighth Prince go to the Fourteenth Prince's residence tonight," one of the spies said.
Fourth Master's expression remained unchanged, perhaps because he had long anticipated this moment, so he wasn't too surprised. "And then?"
"However, the Eighth Prince was very cautious. He stopped only a hundred meters away from the Fourteenth Prince's residence and ordered his servant to knock on the door. When the servant knocked, he found that it was a guard who opened the door. He then said that he had knocked on the wrong door and returned to the Eighth Prince's side. The sedan chair then turned around and left."
Fourth Master raised the corners of his lips. This Eighth Master has always been shrewd and steady in his work. He is indeed cautious and careful.
Fourth Master nodded, "He didn't find out, did he?"
After all, Eighth Master was no pushover; he was extremely vigilant, and he had to ensure that nothing went wrong.
The men replied, "Your Majesty, we followed at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, and we did not let the Eighth Prince notice us."
These men were extremely skilled in martial arts, and their movements were light and agile, making them difficult to detect in the darkness. They were carefully selected spies by Fourth Master.
Fourth Master was fairly satisfied and said in a calm tone, "Continue to follow, but don't let anyone notice."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The group of people flashed out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and then a dark figure disappeared into the night without a sound or trace, as if it had never been there.
Fourth Master sat in his seat, slowly sipping his tea.
Since the Fourteenth Prince disappeared without a trace, he sent people to bring the Fourteenth Prince's wife and all his family members back to the Fourteenth Prince's Mansion from the villa, and also sent these people to keep an eye on everything happening inside the mansion.
If Fourteen returns at this time, they will immediately inform him.
If anyone wanted to see the Fourteenth Prince at this time, the Fourth Prince would know very quickly.
In addition, Seventeen also specially arranged a group of guards to guard Fourteen's mansion, just to keep Fourteen from knowing what was going on inside, so that he could return to his mansion with peace of mind.
