C504 Ming Yuan Opened the Third House
"Really?"
Su Jin pretended to hesitate. "It seems I have to agree. What do you want me to do?"
"A wise man submits to circumstances."
Yun Yue sneered. He knew that this kid would not refuse. But this was normal, unless he wanted to die. Yun Yue took out a paper bag the size of a finger from his hand. "What I asked you to do is very simple. Take the things inside. Put them into Princess Mingyuan's meal. As long as you succeed. I can recommend you to His Highness Second Prince. At that time, you will be a puny Martial Lord. Obtaining Second Prince's appreciation is enough for you to reach the heavens in a single bound. Your future is countless times greater than being Princess Mingyuan's guard. "
"What is this? Poison? Brother Yun, the crime of plotting against a princess who can open a prefecture is not small." Su Jin continued to put on a frightened look.
"What poison is this? This is just a powder. After eating it... The power will disperse. You don't have to worry. Even if you dare to poison Princess Mingyuan to death, I won't dare either. Once a princess is really killed, don't even mention you. Everyone in this mansion will be buried with the princess. Even if I am Second Prince's man, I won't be able to escape. I'm not a fool. I won't kill myself on purpose."
When Yun Yue saw Su Jin's fear, he was even more certain that he would be able to defeat this guy. He coldly harrumphed, "Alright, I have explained so much to you. It can be considered that I think highly of you. If you don't agree, you won't know how to appreciate favors. Don't think that I will give you such a good opportunity."
Yun Yue threatened and enticed, as if he had given Su Jin a great benefit. However, he was sneering in his heart. Once Princess Mingyuan's cultivation was exhausted, he would immediately kill this guy and push him out as a scapegoat.
As for recommending Su Jin to Second Prince, did he really think that he was stupid enough to let this guy who had nothing to do with him snatch his credit?
"I see."
Su Jin smiled and looked behind Yun Yue. "Princess Mingyuan, did you hear these words?"
"What Princess Mingyuan? I already said that there is a restriction placed here. No one can notice the movement here!"
Yun Yue raised his eyebrows and his eyes were cold. "Kid, I have already explained so much to you. You still dare to trick me? Are you courting death?"
"Mr. Yun Yue, I did not expect you to be one of Second Prince's men!"
At this moment, a cold voice came from behind.
Yun Yue's body trembled, and he turned around in disbelief. He saw that Princess Mingyuan's beautiful face was as cold as ice. She looked at him coldly. Beside Princess Mingyuan, Xu Qi and a large number of Imperial Guards appeared at the door and formed a tight battle formation. They surrounded Princess Mingyuan.
"How is this possible!"
Yun Yue's face was ashen as he roared, "I clearly laid down a restriction. How did you guys discover it?!"
"Your defense mechanism is just a child's play. It can be easily broken."
Su Jin smiled, "Yun Yue, do you really think I am afraid of you? Why would I cooperate with someone like you to harm Princess Mingyuan?"
"Yun Yue, you dare to plot against the princess. This is unforgivable!"
The injured First Level Martial Lord Imperial Guard angrily shouted, "Guards, listen up! Arrest Yun Yue!"
"Yes, sir!"
The Imperial Guard immediately unleashed their powerful True Qi, interweaving into a solid battle formation that sealed off the surroundings.
Although these Imperial Army guards were all at the Martial Ancestor, when combined with the battle formation and the leader of the First Grade Martial Lord, the power of the battle formation had become incomparably powerful, reaching the Fifth or Sixth Grade of the Martial Lord.
Adding Xu Qi who was standing beside them, everyone was sure that capturing a fourth Martial Lord Yun Yue would be a piece of cake.
Yun Yue's expression instantly turned ugly. Knowing that the matter had been exposed, he glared at Su Jin and said, "Little bastard, you are just a puny First Grade Martial Lord, how dare you plot against me? You are courting death!"
* Hong Long *
An incomparably powerful aura was unleashed from his body. That terrifying aura instantly broke through the formation of the Imperial Guards, causing everyone's expression to change.
"What!?"
Xu Qi was shocked. He had never thought that Yun Yue's cultivation base would be so high. He had actually reached the peak of Martial Lord.0
Princess Mingyuan's facial expression changed as well. A peak Martial Lord was not something she could fight against.
"Die!"
Yun Yue had a ferocious look on his face. All of a sudden, he lunged at Su Jin and threw a punch at his head.
Of course, he wouldn't dare to kill Princess Mingyuan. If he really wanted to kill her, then... Not to mention him, even Second Prince would be affected. At that time, Second Prince would probably have to bury all of Yun Yue's family and friends in order to clear his name.
However, the moment he threw out his punch, Su Jin's figure disappeared from where he stood.
"I'm here."
Su Jin appeared in front of Princess Mingyuan and waved at Yun Yue.
"What!"
Yun Yue's expression changed. He had never thought that a puny First Grade Martial Lord could dodge his killing move in such a short distance.
"Someone is trying to assassinate the princess. Inform the Imperial Army immediately!"
The First Grade Martial Lord guard shouted angrily and took out his token.
Upon hearing this, Yun Yue's facial expression changed dramatically. If an expert of the Imperial Army came, he would only die. He really wouldn't be able to escape.
He turned around and looked at Su Jin. He gritted his teeth and said, "Little bastard, I will remember you!"
As he spoke, his figure suddenly sprang up and broke through the roof, disappearing in a flash.
Su Jin's eyes sparkled. He didn't kill Yun Yue because he didn't want to expose his true strength so early on. However, this Yun Yue dared to attack him. Given Su Jin's character, how could he let him escape so easily?
He turned around and looked at Princess Mingyuan. "That was close. Is the princess alright?"
"Bengong is fine."
A bitter smile appeared on Princess Mingyuan's pretty face, "Mister Linghu, it was all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, Bengong would have been harmed."
Princess Mingyuan really did not expect that Second Prince would come after her as soon as she opened the prefecture. Furthermore, if she was really poisoned and her cultivation was exhausted, with Second Prince's power, she would not be affected at all.
As a princess who had lost her cultivation, the outcome could be imagined.
Therefore, Princess Mingyuan was truly grateful to Su Jin. Furthermore, she had noticed that Linghu Chong was able to dodge Yun Yue's counterattack in such a short distance. This was an extraordinary ability.
Ming Yuan immediately attached more importance to Su Jin.
"This is what I should do."
Su Jin smiled faintly and said indifferently. No one noticed that his body was emitting a mysterious fluctuation.
"Damned little beast! I will never forgive you! You have ruined Second Prince's plan! You are going to die for sure!"
Yun Yue ran ferociously through the streets and alleys of the capital. His eyes were filled with hatred. Not long after, he arrived at a hidden alley.
