Hey, you are reborn too?

As soon as the fire of thirst for knowledge rose in my heart, I felt a chill on my face.

The cold air soon fell drop by drop onto her cheeks and into her eyes.

"It's raining." A hoarse voice came over.

Just as Xie Yongwei was about to say something, Venerable Longyin covered her head with his outer robe.

A slightly cool hand firmly wrapped around her hand, took her hand, and guided her to run in one direction.

It was all in the night.

Jiang Yu, Deputy Sect Leader Zhang and the Miaojiang Gu King were resting under a tree, planning to rest for a while before continuing on their journey to complete the task assigned by the Queen.

"But the Second Prince?"

Hearing the sound from afar, Jiang Yu subconsciously shuddered and clenched the black sword in his hand.

It's not good for someone to suddenly call out his true identity in the middle of nowhere.

Jiang Yu was horrified. He was walking around in the identity of the leader of Xuantian Sword Sect. He thought he was hiding well. How could someone point out his true identity from a distance?

Are you here to seek revenge?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yu became more alert and shouted, "Who is coming?"

A hearty laugh came from a distance, which made Jiang Yu even more annoyed.

He was about to continue asking when he saw someone in the distance waving at him, holding something in his hand: "One of us, one of us!"

Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes, and as the man slowly approached him, under the bright moonlight, he finally saw clearly that it was the identity jade card that belonged exclusively to the Queen's mother's family.

It turned out that the people who came were from the Zhang family.

As the dozen or so people got closer and closer to him, the face of the leader gradually became clear in the darkness.

Jiang Yu recognized him. He was one of the Zhang family's assassins. To be precise, he was the leader of the Zhang family's assassins. He was ordered by the Queen to train assassins to serve the Queen and her mother's family, the Zhang family.

Jiang Yu did not loosen his grip on the black sword. He held the sword across his chest in a defensive posture.

It was true that the jade token was real, but he and the queen only had a cooperative relationship.

How do we know that the Queen has no intention of killing him and finding someone else?

When the leader was only ten steps away from him, Jiang Yu shouted, "What's the matter? No need to get any closer, just talk over there!"

“Hey, hey,” the man spread out his palms to show his innocence, “Don’t be so nervous, we are all family.”

Jiang Yu did not refute his words, but he did not put down the sword in his hand.

Wang Wu in front of him felt embarrassed and frustrated, and his face showed a trace of shame and anger.

This time he came not to praise the Second Prince, but to give orders to the Second Prince on behalf of the Queen.

Although the Queen's original words were "Since he is useless, let him come back and discuss with me how to win the Emperor's heart. As for the assassination, you do it for him."

The five Wangs guessed that the Queen intended to scold the Second Prince.

Although these words sound nice on the surface, secretly the queen is disdaining the Second Prince for the important task of assassination and wants him to return to serve the Queen.

When he conveyed the Queen's order, he thought he would be met with fierce resistance from the Second Prince.

Or at least a stern refusal.

Wang Wu was even prepared to say a few cold and sarcastic words when the second prince begged him for mercy.

He felt happy just thinking about such a scene. After all, being able to humiliate the high and mighty prince was extremely satisfying.

Especially since this prince usually ordered them around and didn't take them seriously at all. He just treated them as objects at hand and did whatever he wanted with them.

Over the past few years, Wang Wu has long been fed up with him.

Today, it is finally Wang Wu’s turn to act arrogantly in front of the prince and make the prince kneel down and beg for mercy!

"Your Highness," he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, inevitably with a contemptuous smile, "The Queen Mother has ordered that you have failed to do your job well. In the future, we will not trouble you to assassinate the general's daughter. You and your Xuantian Sword Sect should pack up and return to stay with the Queen Mother!"

Wang Wu raised his head, his nose almost reaching the sky.

Humph, so what if you are a prince? Don’t you still have to kneel down at my feet and beg for mercy?

"What? Are you saying that the Queen doesn't need me to do the assassination?"

Wang Wu snorted and raised his eyelids impatiently, not even bothering to offer a word of superficial comfort.

He casually dropped a letter, but "accidentally" revealed the Queen's special stamp on the cover: "If you don't believe it, take the letter and take a good look at it yourself! As for that important matter, Your Majesty, I have already handed it over to you!"

As he expected, Jiang Yu's face turned pale when he saw the seal. Seeing that the letter was about to fall to the ground, he quickly reached out to catch it.

Humph! Wang Wu let out a breath, but he felt extremely refreshed in his heart. As the second prince, he was bending down to pick up an item he had casually dropped.

Of course, he overlooked the significance of the item and was completely unaware that he was merely taking advantage of the power of another.

"Hiss"——

The envelope was suddenly torn. Jiang Yu held the letter tightly in his hand and confirmed the contents word by word under the moonlight.

Wang Wu squinted his eyes from time to time and glanced towards Jiang Yu.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but since the Second Prince saw the contents of the letter, his expression had visibly worsened.

Should!

Wang Wu had already spat at him in his heart. Who told you to be so high and mighty? You were obviously an unpopular prince, and you were judged to be an unlucky person and could not inherit the throne.

In the palace, anyone with status can come up and step on him, but he acts so aloof all the time and orders them around in front of the Empress. Who is he doing this for?

The usually aloof Second Prince appeared in front of him, crying and kneeling, begging for mercy.

Wang Wu lifted his eyelids and barely glanced at Jiang Yu, his arrogance barely concealed in his tone: "If you give in, perhaps I can consider going to the Queen to plead for you."

He wanted to laugh when he saw Jiang Yu gritting his teeth, his fists clenched so tightly that they made a clattering sound, and he looked extremely unwilling.

You never thought, Your Highness, that you would have this day in front of me, Wang Wu!

"Book……"

As soon as Jiang Yu opened his mouth to utter a word, he realized that his voice was hoarse and filled with deep anger.

But this cannot be blamed on him. After all, looking at Wang Wu's nasty expression, it is hard for anyone to resist giving him a slap in the face.

Especially since Wang Wu was just a dog under his command before. Since when did even this dog have the right to let him wag his tail and beg for mercy?

In addition, Jiang Yu's mouth curled slightly, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes. The queen just asked him to return to the capital and stay by her side obediently.

Although there was some dissatisfaction with him between the lines of the letter, there was not a single word of blame.

After all, Jiang Yu's smile deepened, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but widen. He was her most useful chess piece if she wanted to become the empress dowager legitimately.

How could she give up on herself so easily?

"Your Highness, have you considered it carefully? If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again."
