Chapter 659 - 494: A Business Deal (Part 3)

"It’s been confirmed, it’s Lin Miao. It was he who discovered our plan, and he also recommended Pei Jian implement the quarantine strategy in Dongshan City."

"Lin Miao, you mean that guy who has recently been called ’Mr. Lin’ within the past year?" The young master in the python robe shot a cold gleam from his eyes.

"Yes, I’ve also found out that his master is none other than Sun Simiao, the remnant of Huichun Valley."

"Interesting, Sun Simiao’s medical skills are not that impressive, yet he managed to teach a disciple who surpasses him."

"Young master, what do we do now? Pei Jian has closed the city gates; people can only exit but not enter. Those we’ve placed will be suppressed the moment they show up, and now no one dares to make a move. The plan outside the city is also not going smoothly, especially with the free quarantine treatment point Lin Miao has set up at the Xue Family Manor. He has people post announcements all the way to Qingping Town. At this rate, I’m afraid not many will take our Rejuvenating Spring Elixir," Go Xiong stated.

"No worry, as long as more people die, there will naturally be those who believe in our Rejuvenating Spring Elixir."

"What exactly do you mean, young master?"

"Send someone to infiltrate the Xue Family Manor. The more people they treat who die and the more who survive after taking our Rejuvenating Spring Elixir, don’t you think under these circumstances, there would still be no one to take it?" The young master in the python robe smiled wickedly, a trace of coldness glinting in his eye.

"Understood, I’ll see to the arrangements immediately."

"Not just the Xue Family Manor, pay attention to the treatment points within the city as well. Don’t wait for me to give orders before you act." The young master’s gaze swept coldly over the hirelings’ faces as he spoke heavily.

Go Xiong immediately lowered his gaze in fear, aware of the young master’s methods and quite understanding the consequences of angering him.

"Yes, young master, Go Xiong understands."

"Alright, you can go now."

"The rest of you continue dancing, don’t stop. Whoever dances well will serve me tonight." The young master in the python robe chuckled wickedly.

The women in his eyes were mere playthings, to be discarded once he tired of them and exhausted their usefulness.

No woman he set his eyes on had ever escaped his grasp.

"Young master." Suddenly, a shower of flower petals rained down, and a woman in a red dress descended from the sky. Her voluptuous figure and ample bosom far exceeded that of the women dancing on stage.

Moreover, she bore a face that could captivate the masses.

"Qingyao, you’ve come!" The young master in the python robe instantly sat up straight, a soft and admiring glimmer in his eyes.

"Qingyao greets the young master!"

"Sister Qingyao, no need for formalities." The young master in the python robe stepped forward to help, but the woman in the red dress, Qingyao, subtly stepped back to avoid him.

Clearly, Qingyao was unwilling to have physical contact with the young master in the python robe.

"Young master, I have gathered information: Crown Prince Zhao Yuanze has separated from his entourage and is arriving ahead on the road to Dongshan. Master has instructed us to intercept and kill him midway!" Qingyao slightly bowed.

"To intercept and kill the Crown Prince, has it come to this?" The young master in the python robe furrowed his brows and asked.

"Master says the emperor’s health has been improving since last year. Originally, he had only a year to live, but now he might last two to three more years. The Fifth Prince, due to being implicated by the Marquis Lingyang and the Green Blade Sect, now sees the Crown Prince’s prestige greatly increased. If the Crown Prince ensures that either the Crown Princess Consort or another woman conceives, the Fifth Prince might truly be sidelined. Thus, killing the Crown Prince is the quickest solution!" Qingyao explained.

"What about the ’Shenxiao Dao’?"

"Shenxiao Dao was originally just a tool master used for collecting wealth. Now, however, it seems it might not achieve the desired outcome, but it did successfully lure the Crown Prince out of the capital, which presents us with an opportunity," Qingyao replied.

"Alright, I understand. Did Master say when to act?"

"The Crown Prince is expected to arrive in Dongshan in three days, and this time it will be at Cloud-Riding Ridge!" Qingyao elaborated.

"Will Master take action personally?"

"I don’t know. Prepare well. We cannot fail again this time!" Qingyao urged.

"Alright, I will personally lead the most elite group to ensure he has no chance of survival this time," declared the young master in the python robe, clenching his fist.
