Xiahou Zheng frowned and said worriedly, “Him? He’s Foster Father’s trusted aide. If he obtains the City Lord Seal and Yun Lin’s heir document, he will definitely think of a way to send it to the Hundred Flowers Palace.”

Xiahou Yi said in a hoarse voice, “Only if he goes can we see Jiang Guanchao. You don’t have to interfere in this matter anymore. I have my own arrangements.”

Xiahou Zheng was stunned. He lowered his head and cupped his hands. “Yes, Granduncle.”

After he left, a black-clothed guard walked out of the ear room.

If Min Ningwan was here, she would definitely recognize him as the man who had infiltrated the Heavenly Jade Hall that night and asked her for the treasure map.

He had the same status as the courtesan in green and was one of the four experts beside Xiahou Yi.

“My lord.”

The man in black cupped his fists and bowed.

Then, he looked at Xiahou Zheng’s back that had disappeared at the end of the night and said, “Eldest Young Master seems a little disappointed. He feels that you don’t think highly of him.”

“Let him be.”

Xiahou Yi spoke.

“Yes.”

The man in black no longer paid attention to Xiahou Zheng.

Xiahou Yi said, “Go to the Assassin Alliance with Steward Chang.”

The man in black asked, “What would I tell Steward Chang?”

Xiahou Yi said, “Tell him what Xiahou Jin told Xiahou Zheng.”

“I understand,” the man in black agreed. He paused and asked, “However, can Xiahou Jin’s words be trusted? If the City Lord Seal is not in the Assassin Alliance…”

Xiahou Yi said coldly, “Regardless of whether it’s there or not, kill Jiang Guanchao.”

“Kill… Jiang Guanchao?”

The man in black was stunned.

He understood his lord’s killing intent towards Jiang Guanchao. His lord wanted to subdue the Assassin Alliance, but Jiang Guanchao was stubborn.

Only by eliminating Jiang Guanchao could the Assassin Alliance become leaderless and become the lord’s possession.

However… he probably could not kill Jiang Guanchao with his strength.

As if seeing his worry, Xiahou Yi said calmly, “Jiang Guanchao is seriously injured. Killing him now is as easy as flipping your hand. What you need is a chance to get close to him. Steward Chang will create this opportunity for you. However, after killing him, you might not be able to walk out of the Assassin Alliance alive.”

There were many experts in the Assassin Alliance, especially Jiang Guanchao’s disciples. All of them were not to be someone not to be trifled with.

The man in black did not hesitate at all. He knelt on one knee and said fearlessly, “The life of Cang Lang was given by my lord. Cang Lang is willing to go through fire and water for my lord!”

Xiahou Yi’s expression was as cold as ever. “Go and prepare.”

“Yes!”

The man in black left the courtyard.

He changed into the clothes of the City Lord’s guard and messed up his hair. He ran a few steps on the spot and panted as he went to Steward Chang’s room.

“Godfather!”

When Steward Chang heard a familiar voice, he immediately opened the door and let him in. “It’s so late. Why are you here? Didn’t you go to salvage the City Lord’s… head? Has there been any progress?”

Cang Lang said in extreme pain, “Not yet… My brothers are all looking for it… I was worried about you… I came back to see you first… Have you been alright these past few days? Did Second Granduncle make things difficult for you?”

Steward Chang asked him to keep his voice down and went out to take a look. After confirming that there was no one around, he hurriedly closed the door, inserted the bolt, and pulled him to sit down on a chair.

“He didn’t make things difficult for me for the time being.”

Cang Lang said anxiously, “Godfather, don’t fight with him!”

Steward Chang sighed and said, “I know. You too. I’m afraid there are many of his subordinates among the guards. Be careful and don’t come to me again. It won’t be good for you if others see you.”

Cang Lang said seriously, “What are you talking about, Godfather? If it weren’t for Godfather back then, I would have starved to death by the roadside. It was Godfather who took me in and even found me an errand in the City Lord Manor. Godfather, as long as you say the word, I’ll immediately bring you out of the City Lord Manor!”

Manager Chang said in distress, “The City Lord’s body has yet to be found. How can I bear to leave now?”

Cang Lang said, “You can’t interfere in the Xiahou family’s battle!”

Steward Chang remained silent.

Cang Lang’s eyes flashed. “But Godfather, when I came over just now, I heard Eldest Young Master’s conversation with Second Grandfather.”

Steward Chang hurriedly asked, “What did they say?”

Cang Lang said, “So Second Grandfather didn’t obtain the City Lord Seal.”

Steward Chang said, “I guessed that. If he had the City Lord Seal, he would have attacked Young Palace Lord long ago. Unfortunately, the City Lord was deceived by him before he died. He was most likely the one who arranged to capture the so-called person who sowed discord! Once the City Lord went, he fell into their trap and ended up with his corpse dismembered…”

So that’s what you think… Cang Lang said without changing his expression, “I also heard from Eldest Young Master that the City Lord had long guessed that he might be plotted against by Second Grandfather and sent the City Lord Seal and the heir’s document to the Assassin Alliance in advance.”

Steward Chang suddenly said, “Where did Eldest Young Master find out about this? Hasn’t he been locked up in the prison? Will you tell him about the City Lord’s actions?”

Cang Lang sighed. “They tortured Second Young Master.”

Manager Chang came to a realization. “Second Young Master… He has indeed been very valued by the City Lord recently. Many of the City Lord’s matters have been handed over to him… Did he say who the heir is?”

Cang Lang said, “Young Palace Lord Yun, Second Grandfather and Eldest Young Master plan to leave for the Assassin Alliance tomorrow morning.”

Steward Chang frowned and said, “They want to get the City Lord Seal and destroy the heir’s document… No! We can’t let them succeed!”

Cang Lang said earnestly, “We can’t stop it.”

Steward Chang clenched his fists and said, “Even if we can’t stop it, we have to! Take me out of the City Lord Manor! We’ll go to the Assassin Alliance tonight! We have to… take back the City Lord’s things before they do!”

Cang Lang looked at Steward Chang deeply. “Since Godfather has said so, I can only… listen.”

On the roof.

A small black crow flapped its wings and flew away from the City Lord Manor.

Wuhu, who was disguised as a little crow, fanned its wings until they smoked and flew back to the Hundred Flowers Palace as quickly as possible.

Recently, the City Lord Manor had been heavily guarded. The moment the golden eagle and falcon approached, they were discovered by the hounds, causing Wuhu’s carriage to be useless.

The hunting dogs near Xiahou Yi’s courtyard were the fiercest. Even a small bird could not approach .

Fortunately, Steward Chang was not guarded by hounds, so Wuhu finally chanced on the important news.

“Second Young Master! City Lord Seal! Assassin Alliance! Steward Chang! Godfather! Baddie! Let’s move!”

Why was Cang Lang a baddie? It was because Wuhu had seen him come out of Xiahou Yi’s courtyard.

It was obvious that he was a traitor.

There was no mistake about being in the same industry of traitors!

His intuition told him that this serving of bird food was huge!

In its excitement, it did not even bother to learn. It summarized the main points clearly.

At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao was still sitting in the courtyard with Wei Qing and Yun Lin. The difference was that Wei Liulang and the Ghostfear had just finished practicing martial arts.

The two of them were at a loss, not understanding what this bird was talking about.

Su Xiaoxiao calmly translated, “Xie Jinnian said that the City Lord Seal is in the Assassin Alliance. Steward Chang and his bad godson left to get the City Lord Seal?”

Wuhu flapped their smoking wings. “Yes! Yes!”
