Chapter 887 Killing Jiang Youzhen is the wisest choice

At this time, voices were heard coming from a small courtyard in the west of the city.

"He still refuses to speak?" asked a slightly younger voice.

"Yes! Because he refused to hand over the whereabouts of the tiger talisman, Prince Hadan took severe measures. He is now in a coma and probably won't survive the night." The old voice replied.

"Humph! Ha Dan is really tyrannical. Keeping him alive will always be useful. His death will do us no good."

"What did the king say? Ahem!" the young man asked after coughing.

"It is said that we can't wait any longer, this opportunity is rare! But Jiang Youzhen is a bit troublesome, we must get rid of him as soon as possible!" The old man's tone became extremely vicious.

"I'll keep this boy for a use! It would be a shame to kill him!"

"Young Prince, killing Jiang Youzhen is the wisest choice. I'm afraid he will discover your plan, which would be too dangerous!

It just so happens that he has come to the border. The capital has already made arrangements, so there is no need to worry! We will keep him at the border forever." The old man's tone was full of murderous intent.

"I told you I'm useful, keep me for now! We've already deployed so many of them, are we still afraid that he can't do it alone? He can't cause much trouble by himself." The young man's tone was unquestionable.

"But..." The old man wanted to persuade him again.

"Alright! If we don't keep him, how can we deal with Prince Yuanming? He has the gold medal, which is just right for him to take down Prince Yuanming. Otherwise, we will have to work harder. I will add fuel to the fire in the next two days. Once Prince Yuanming's crime is proven, we can just take advantage of it."

"Your Highness is indeed smart! I will go back and report to you!"

"Yes! We must warn Hadan's men not to do bad things again. Also, tell him not to interfere in my business again. He almost killed Jiang Youzhen the night before and ruined my business."

"Yes!" The old man left quietly.

Jiang Youzhen got into bed as soon as she returned to Prince Yuanming's mansion. The wound on her arm was a little itchy. It should be the effect of the spiritual spring water. It would probably heal soon. It was worth it for her to pour so much spiritual spring water on the wound.

Now her internal strength has recovered a lot. The spiritual spring water has been used up very quickly in the past two days and it will soon run out again!

Only then did she remember that after completing the task, the system rewarded her with a big gift package, which she had not had time to open.

So she took out the big gift package, which was shining with gold. When she opened it, she was pleasantly surprised.

"A thousand drops of spiritual spring water? This is really timely rain! It's just gone."

Jiang Youzhen looked at the next one with great joy, "One hundred combat puppets?"

She immediately checked the description and found out that it was a combat puppet that could fight one against a hundred. It was extremely powerful and absolutely loyal.

Originally, she had no confidence at the border, but now, with these puppets, she would not be afraid even if she was besieged by ten thousand people.

[The system releases a five-star mission: Host, please command thousands of troops and make great military achievements! ]

What? A five-star mission? Jiang Youzhen was shocked!

"System, do you want to take a look at what you are saying? Commanding thousands of troops and making great military achievements, isn't that what a general does? I'm just a civil official!" Jiang Youzhen was speechless.

[Dear host, this is a five-star mission. Once completed, the reward will be huge~]

Jiang Youzhen: ...Haha! I've never seen anything like this before. She is a high-ranking civil servant, but she has to go to war?

"Don't tell me that there will be unrest at the border soon. Let me fight in the war instead of General Dingyuan?"

Jiang Youzhen suddenly felt that this was really possible, so she immediately wrote a memorial to the emperor, stating her suspicions and asking him to pay close attention to developments in the capital to avoid any further disruptions.

It’s a pity that this memorial has to be sent to the capital. This place is too far away from the capital and the carrier pigeons can’t reach it.

Jiang Youzhen put the memorial into the storage space and prepared to go to sleep. Since he had already arrived at the residence of Prince Yuanming, his every move must be under the surveillance of Prince Yuanming or Ke Zhenqiu. He had to lead away the secret guards when he went out just now, otherwise he would have been followed.

Jiang Youzhen's guess was correct. At this time, Prince Yuanming had not gone to bed at all, but was waiting for reports in the study.

"Your Highness, I have just checked and there is no unusual movement from Jiang Youzhen's side." A black man entered the study quietly and reported.

"Where are Ke Zhenqiu and Young Master Kang?"

"Young Master Kang is not in his yard, but Ke Zhenqiu is."

At this time, another old man in the room spoke up, "Did you see the face clearly? Don't tell me it's someone else pretending to be him!"

"This? Jiang Youzhen and Ke Zhenqiu did not leave the yard. I have already asked the secret guards. I am afraid that if I get too close to them, they will find out. These two are both good at martial arts."

"Hmph! That Ke Zhenqiu actually knows martial arts! He and Jiang Youzhen are both scholars, but he is so skilled in martial arts. This is very suspicious." Prince Yuan Ming snorted coldly.

"No! Go and confirm again, and also see when Young Master Kang will come back." The old man urged.

"Didn't you hear what Mr. Wen said? Go quickly!" the prince ordered.

After the guards left, Prince Yuanming looked at Mr. Wen, who looked thoughtful, and asked, "Sir, do you think there is something wrong?"

"Reporting to the prince, I still feel that there is something suspicious about that young master Kang. Although he did business with you before, I think his purpose is definitely not just those daily necessities."

"But he didn't make any other requests. You asked me to monitor him and his servants, but I only found out that he had done some shady business with others."

The prince didn't care. This was not difficult to understand. After finally coming to the border, wasn't it normal to make a fortune? He also turned a blind eye!

"But I'm afraid he's not just after tea and salt. What if he uses weapons? The Northern Ming Kingdom is growing stronger and stronger. There is no shortage of gold and silver mines, and horses are no problem. The only thing they lack is iron ore. If they have weapons, we will be in a passive position."

Mr. Wen had a worried look on his face, "Moreover, General Dingyuan is missing, the tiger talisman is missing, and Deputy General Chen Xudao is nowhere to be found.

You are the only one left to guard Yuming Pass, but tomorrow is General Dingyuan's daughter's wedding. If General Dingyuan doesn't show up, rumors will spread. When the time comes, all the countries or tribes will come to attack, and I'm afraid you, the prince, won't be able to stop them!"

After hearing Mr. Wen's analysis, Prince Yuan Ming couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

He originally thought that General Dingyuan's disappearance was a good thing, because he had previously discovered that General Dingyuan had suspected him of colluding with people outside the Great Wall.

Therefore, he immediately arrested Chen Xudao, hoping to know from Chen Xudao whether they had found any evidence against him. However, Chen Xudao was a tough nut to crack, so he could only keep waiting.

Later, when he heard that Chen Xudao had been rescued, he thought that Chen Xudao was rescued by General Dingyuan, so he was very panicked, but he did not dare to act rashly, and could only secretly blockade the entire city.

I’m afraid that Wang Yuanlu will find evidence against me, which would put me in an even more passive position.
