At nightfall, the gate of Prince Chen’s mansion seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds.

The cold wind makes people shudder.

The once prosperous mansion now seemed unusually deserted, like an empty city that had been abandoned for many years.

The night watchman took a detour here for fear of getting into trouble with something unclean.

The moonlight shone through the clouds, scattering mottled light on the empty mansion, reflecting the trembling figure of the old butler.

His half-blind eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the darkness and see the corners forgotten by time.

In this huge palace, every brick and tile carries countless stories and secrets.

And at this moment, they are all telling of their past glory in silence.

It was a dark and windy night, which was the time when the crime was committed.

A stealthy figure sneaked into the palace, his movements light as a night cat foraging for food.

He had a clear goal and headed straight for the woodshed in the west yard.

That was the focus of his operation.

If Ling Chenyu was still in the palace, he would be able to tell at a glance that the thief was coming for the gold hidden in the palace.

What a pity, he was destined to be disappointed.

When Liu Jingshu - oh no, it should be Ling Chenyu - discovered that batch of gold, she secretly did something with it.

Outsiders have no idea.

At the beginning, Ling Chenyu dug deep into the ground to look for gold.

Now all the gold is hidden in another more secret place.

Here, he cleverly used some strategies and only left three boxes as bait.

Anyone who has a close relationship with the former housekeeper Chen who comes here is destined to not find anything valuable and will instead fail here.

At this time, Rong Bufan, the "cannon fodder" pushed out by the prince and the prime minister, was holding a pot of wine and staggering on the back street of the palace.

He climbed over the wall with ease and fell into the yard with a plop.

Rong Bufan immediately got up, poured a mouthful of wine into his mouth, and mumbled in a daze.

"King Chen, come on, do it!"

Everyone thought that he and King Chen had parted ways.

Little did they know that this was a strategy of Prince Chen to protect his generals.

After Ling Chenyu came back from breaking his leg, he became a loyal dog to the old emperor.

He was foolishly instructed and almost wiped out the entire family of Zhenbei Hou.

(At the last moment, the imperial decree arrived, leaving the child behind was easy.)

At that time, King Chen had a premonition of an unexpected event, so he secretly arranged for his generals to defect to his side in order to save his life.

When he was really abandoned by the emperor, the generals who survived realized the king's good intentions.

In the end, it was his king who bore it all.

The king was gone for five years.

Five years have passed, and those generals he had saved have all switched sides.

Either he is a running dog of the Prince's Party or a loyal dog of the King of Han's Party.

There are only a few people left who are as neutral as he is.

He was neutral, but became a victim of the struggle between the Prince's Party and the Hanwang Party.

Like he is now!

Rong Bufan was filled with emotion. He drank to the moon, to his shadow, and to King Chen...

He is drunk!

In his drunken state, he seemed to see Ling Chenyu walking towards him. He knelt on the ground and mumbled:

"My king, when will you take me away?"

"what--"

Suddenly a scream pierced through the haunted house that was Prince Chen’s Mansion.

Rong Bufan was almost sober now, and he ran towards the direction of the sound.

I saw a dark figure falling to the ground, with black smoke coming out of his hands strangely.

It turned out that the thief touched the gold, but he didn't expect that the gold was covered with poison!

The thief rolled on the ground in pain, and his screams echoed in the night sky.

Rong Bufan frowned.

Gentlemen love fortune, in a proper way.

I am extremely disgusted by those who sneak into other people's houses when the owner is not at home.

He spat, turning to leave.

At this moment, he noticed a familiar figure in front of him, it was the blind old butler.

The old butler stood in the moonlight, his figure looked particularly lonely, but there was a hint of peace on his face.

He seemed to have expected Rong Bufan to come, and he held an exquisite brocade bag tightly in his hand.

"General Rong, you are here." Although the old butler's voice was old, it was firm.

Rong Bufan nodded, walked forward, and looked at the brocade bag in the old butler's hand with confusion.

"This is……?"

"This is what the prince left for you."

The old butler smiled and handed the brocade bag to Rong Bufan, "The prince said that when you feel lost or confused, open this brocade bag."

Rong Bufan took the brocade bag and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

Only then did he realize that although Ling Chenyu was thousands of miles away, he had always cared about him and paved the way for him.

He took a deep breath and gently opened the sachet.

Inside was a note and a token.

The note read: "Bufan, life is like a game of chess. You and I are brothers, and I will give you a chance.

I'll lay out the plan for you, but you still have to take every step yourself.

This token can mobilize the secret guards I left in the capital to help you. I wish you a smooth expedition and a triumphant return. "

After reading the note, a gleam of light flashed in Rong Bufan's eyes.

Ling Chenyu's trust and expectations are his greatest motivation.

He was no longer confused, and his heart was filled with confidence and determination.

He put the note back into the brocade bag, held the token tightly, and bowed deeply to the old butler: "Thank you, butler. I will remember the prince's teachings and live up to your trust."

The old butler smiled, nodded, and turned to leave.

Rong Bufan watched the old butler's back disappear into the night, his heart filled with gratitude and respect.

The next day, Rong Bufan took Ling Chenyu's treasure bag and token and led an army of 30,000 to attack Yun Kingdom.

He was no longer confused and a confident smile appeared on his face.

He knew that with Ling Chenyu's support and trust, he would be able to successfully complete this mission and relieve the worries of the country and the emperor.

On the way to the battle, Rong Bufan and his soldiers were laughing and talking, and their morale was high.
