Chapter 463 Partnership



"Let him in." Sikong Ling knew that Han Yu's people would definitely contact him when they arrived in Chang'an, but this way of entering the door seemed a bit provocative. Sikong Ling didn't think about it. The people he sent at the beginning were even more arrogant. They broke into Han Yu's study directly every time. Although the people broke into Sikong Mansion this time, at least they only stayed outside the study and asked someone to inform.

Not long after Sikong Ling finished speaking, a man in black wearing a mask walked in. His demeanor alone was extraordinary, not to mention his martial arts. There were not many people in the Ming Dynasty who could break into Sikong Mansion so quietly without alerting the guards in the mansion. After all, Sikong Mansion was not as difficult to break into as Han Yu's study. Not to mention the layers of guards, the closer to the confidential areas, the more masters were sent to guard them. But Han Yu now has a lot of people under his command, so it is probably impossible for him to break into the study as he did before. The martial arts of this man in black is only higher than those of his subordinates.

Zhai Mo was not arrogant enough to break into Sikong Mansion, and it would take a lot of strength, even though he was good at martial arts. What kind of place is Sikong Mansion? There were layers of guards and traps everywhere, and many masters had failed here. It was because his master had specifically ordered him to meet Sikong Young Master in this way, so he used the most strenuous method.

Han Yu is definitely not a narrow-minded and petty person, but it depends on the situation, especially Sikong Ling, a man who once coveted his wife. Although he only coveted her without taking any actual action and did something too outrageous, the most outrageous thing he did was blocking him at the door of the Su family and saying those words. He even helped him many times, but this did not make Han Yu like Sikong Ling more. Whenever this person was mentioned, he would feel uncomfortable. What's more, Sikong Ling's subordinate was so arrogant. Every time he came, he would show off his skills and did not respect him as his master at all.

It is rude not to reciprocate. Now that Han Yu has this ability, he naturally has to return the grievance in his heart. In fact, he also has another idea, which is to let Sikong Ling know that he is no longer the same as before and has enough ability to protect his wife, so that Sikong Ling will no longer have any delusional thoughts about his wife.

"I am here to see Young Master Sikong on the orders of my master." Zhai Mo said with a fist. Because he was wearing a mask, his expression could not be seen, but his voice sounded cold. He had a cold personality to begin with, and after his family was destroyed and he had experienced such a change and the heavy responsibility he shouldered, he became even more indifferent. What's more, the master's words clearly implied that he should not be too polite.

Zhai Mo has followed Han Yu for such a long time and is the person Han Yu loves. He probably understands the grudge between Han Yu and Sikong Ling. In fact, he doesn't understand Sikong Ling's thoughts in his heart, but he has absolutely no good feelings for this man who covets his mistress.

"Are you the person sent by Han Yu?! But you don't know the rules, so you barged in recklessly. This Sikong Mansion is not a place for idle people. It is guarded by layers and is full of traps. You may even lose your life if you are not careful. I will not be able to explain to your master then!" Sikong Ling knew that this might be instigated by Han Yu, but he still did not let Zhai Mo off. He scolded him a few words, and his words were full of warnings.

"Young Master Sikong, don't worry. If something really happens to me, it only shows that I am incompetent. My master has always been clear about right and wrong and will not blame you for such a thing. But the Lord also asked me to tell Young Master Sikong that the guards of the Han Mansion are not as good as before. If you break in recklessly again, it would be bad if you get your hands and feet broken by accident." Zhai Mo said neither humbly nor arrogantly. He was not intimidated by Sikong Ling's aura at all. Not to mention that he is now working with Han Yu, in terms of status, the young master of the Zhai family is on par with Sikong Ling.

Sikong Ling has been observing Zhai Mo and he dares not underestimate him anymore. Zhai Mo does not behave like a servant and his aura is actually no less than his. Such a person is actually willing to work for Han Yu and his methods are becoming more and more powerful.

"Your master has got a good servant who is very eloquent. I hope he can be as capable as you, hum!" Sikong Ling snorted coldly, not bothering to argue with Han Yu.

Sikong Ling didn't know that his behavior was actually seen as a bit of a fight in the eyes of others. Sikong Ling was usually such a calm and deep person, but it was only when he faced Han Yu that he behaved in such a way that was not in line with his status.

Zhai Mo naturally would not react to Sikong Ling's words, but his lordship asked him to come to Sikong Mansion not to chat, but for the affairs of Bei'an Marquis Mansion, so Zhai Mo did not waste time and directly stated the purpose of his visit.

When it came to serious matters, Sikong Ling's attitude immediately changed. He told Zhai Mo the general situation that his subordinates had inquired about, and handed the information he had found to Zhai Mo.

"Chang'an is Wang Mang's world after all. We, the Sikong Mansion, have to retreat. So we don't intend to confront Wang Mang openly. We can only help you secretly. Then you will face more difficulties. Wang Mang is now setting up this battle, which is obviously aimed at the second branch of the Su family. You must be careful in everything. If there is any news, I will send someone to inform you as soon as possible."

Even if Sikong Ling cooperated with Han Yu secretly, it was under the premise of not harming the interests of the Sikong family. Zhai Mo naturally understood this and nodded.

"In fact, Wang Mang is not without precautions against our Sikong family. Doing this will actually have a better effect. Also, you can get closer to the Shangguan family openly. Of course, you don't have to have much contact. After all, the Shangguan family has now become Wang Mang's minions. Just create such a false impression and make Wang Mang suspicious of the Shangguan family. Then we can take advantage of the opportunity."

Zhai Mo frowned: "The Shangguan family is not a pushover, and it will easily expose my people. Isn't this a bit redundant?"

"Not redundant, not redundant. My arrangement has its uses. There are many Shangguan family members in the hands of those who control the Heavenly Prison. It is very inconvenient for my people to act. Even when rescuing the father and son of Bei'an Marquis, they will encounter obstacles from these people. Only when Wang Mang becomes suspicious of the Shangguan family can I take the opportunity to insert my own people. Although this matter is more beneficial to my Sikong family, we have a cooperative relationship. My interests also involve your interests, don't they?"

Sikong Ling said this with some malicious intent, and his eyes were clearly filled with some calculating light when he said this. Of course, most of it was directed at the Shangguan family. After the Shangguan family became Wang Mang's minions, they did a lot of things to trip up the Sikong family. Naturally, he had to make good use of such an opportunity. As for what Zhai Mo needed to do, it would be considered as compensation for his help to Han Yu this time.
