Upon hearing Li Yu's words, Zhao Chengyu's face showed shock. He never expected that the Ninth Prince, who had always been so low-key, was actually a master of feigning weakness.
The key point is that everyone was fooled by the Ninth Prince.
He hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Your Highness, should this old servant pass on this message to Yuwen Xiao, the military governor of Jingzhou?"
"The more you do, the more mistakes you make; the less you do, the fewer mistakes you make."
Li Yu said meaningfully.
"Your Highness is right, this old servant understands."
Zhao Chengyu said thoughtfully.
An old fox like Yuwen Xiao is not as easily fooled as the Seventh Prince Li Xu.
If they act as if they know nothing, Yuwen Xiao won't be able to trace them. If they pretend to be clever and try to use someone else to do their dirty work, they will easily be exposed.
"You personally take care of that person and eliminate him without leaving any trace."
Li Yu thought for a moment and then gave Zhao Chengyu some instructions.
"Your Highness, rest assured. When this old servant saw that the Seventh Prince had not come out of the Ninth Prince's residence, I understood this and went to the Seventh Prince's residence to see him off."
"No one will know now that the Seventh Prince's recruitment of the Ninth Prince is related to us."
Zhao Chengyu said with a respectful expression.
"That's good. I trust you to handle things."
Li Yu said with a smile on his face.
"It's all thanks to Your Highness's excellent teaching."
Zhao Chengyu said with a fawning expression.
Li Yu smiled and waved to Zhao Chengyu.
Zhao Chengyu bowed to Li Yu and then withdrew.
After watching Zhao Chengyu leave, Li Yu looked towards the Ninth Prince's residence and said quietly, "Little Ninth Prince, oh Little Ninth Prince, your father has been in seclusion for many years, and there are very few people in the entire court who can suppress Yuwen Xiao."
I don't know if you can stop Yuwen Xiao.
If you can't stop it, you're not qualified to compete for the dragon, to be my opponent..."
The Ninth Prince's Residence.
Pavilion.
"Finally, I have a little understanding of the Yan Kingdom, and even the entire Burial Ground of Immortals."
Li Jing put down the book in his hand, stood up, stretched, and said.
He read at least several hundred books today, studying everything from the Yan Kingdom to all the countries in the Burial Ground of Immortals, and even the major and minor sects in the Burial Ground of Immortals.
Only Li Jing, as the ninth prince of Yan, could know this information.
Without such a background, it wouldn't be easy for him to understand the entire Burial Ground of Immortals.
"Someone come here."
Li Jing stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the tranquil and mysterious lake under the moonlight, and spoke calmly.
A guard from the Ninth Prince's residence, who was not far away, suddenly appeared, knelt down before Li Jing, and said respectfully, "Greetings, Your Highness."
"Two things. First, have someone send all these books back to the study."
"The second thing is to have Guo Jingfei come to see me."
Li Jing said calmly.
"Yes, Your subordinate obeys."
Upon hearing Li Jing's words, the Ninth Prince's guard responded, stood up, and slipped away.
Soon, several guards and servants from the Ninth Prince's residence came and took away all the books piled up in the pavilion.
A moment later.
A young general, eight feet tall and imposing in silver armor, holding a halberd in his right hand, entered the pavilion. He knelt on one knee before Li Jing, who had his back to him, and said in a strong and clear voice, "Guo Jingfei greets Your Highness!"
"Guo Jingfei, can I trust you?"
Li Jing turned around, looked calmly at Guo Jingfei, and said in a deep voice.
Guo Jingfei is the commander of the guards of the Ninth Prince's residence, commanding a thousand guards.
Whether it's Guo Jingfei or the thousand guards of the Ninth Prince's residence, they are all true elites selected from the Imperial Guard.
This was true not only for the Ninth Prince's residence, but also for the guards of the other eight princes' residences.
"From the moment I was selected from the Imperial Guard, I have shared His Highness's glory and ruin!"
Guo Jingfei looked at Li Jing with unwavering determination and said firmly, "Whatever Your Highness commands, I will do, even if it means going through fire and water!"
"Do you know anything about my household?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jing smiled slightly and said.
A glint of light flashed in Guo Jingfei's eyes as he asked, "What does Your Highness mean?"
"Get rid of all the outsiders who have been placed in my household."
"Even the people in the guard."
"Is it possible?"
Li Jing smiled calmly and said.
Although the guards of the Ninth Prince's residence are from the Imperial Guard, it doesn't mean that these people can't be bribed by outsiders and become their spies.
Guo Jingfei gripped his halberd tightly in his right hand, a hint of excitement on his face, and said, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, this humble general will be able to complete the task completely in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."
"Go ahead, and wait outside my training room after you're done."
Li Jing gave Guo Jingfei a deep look and said to him.
He knew Guo Jingfei very well; he was a man of integrity and talent.
His martial arts talent is also quite strong.
At only twenty-five years old, he had already reached the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm.
One or two can be trained.
Since he wants to compete for the dragon, forge a sacred court, and establish a dynasty of destiny, he naturally needs to cultivate some people.
"Your subordinate obeys!"
Guo Jingfei responded, abruptly stood up, gripped his halberd, and strode away. His departure would surely be stained with blood!
