Wu Jian has been wandering around Hongdu Prefecture for two days aimlessly.

If, at the beginning, because he was placed under house arrest in the Ning Palace for more than half a month, he was eager to leave the Ning Palace, which was like a cage, then after wandering leisurely for two days, the excitement of breaking through the cage would have been consumed.

Even if men and women love each other, they have been there for seven years, let alone Wu Jian’s current emotions that seem to be more angry.

However, even though the happy feeling in his heart had slipped away like water, he would immediately leave the Ning Prince's Mansion and wander around in the Hongdu Mansion in the early morning every morning.

The reason is naturally very simple. I looked for the relevant marks that Xuanwu had told him in detail before he left the capital, and then found those Diting or Beiji Tian good men sent by Xuanwu so that they could make an appointment with King Ning.

Although when he explained to King Ning, he seemed to be completely unaware of the other party's whereabouts and could only passively accept the other party coming to meet him, even if he did not agree with Bai Shier, just considering himself, he obviously could not really tell the truth about everything to King Ning and Pan.

Otherwise, who can guarantee that after squeezing his last drop of value, King Ning would not throw him aside directly?

Everything has to be considered from the worst consequences. This is the fundamental reason why he was able to turn danger into danger several times and escape his life with extreme dangers.

In addition, another reason for him to do this was to numb the eyeliner of the Ning Wangfu who was following him behind him.

With the lesson that he did not notice the other party's trace by Ye Xiao touched the door last time, he knew in his heart that it was obvious that it was impossible to ensure that no one was following him by relying on his own perception alone. Therefore, when it was impossible to determine whether someone was following him, his approach was to actively muddle the water, and it was best to be the kind that could not be seen with his hand.

Only in this way can he use the turbid sewage to block his whereabouts and block the eyeliner of the Ning Wangfu who was following behind him.

Because he had to ensure that he could become the only person who knew the situation of the Ning Palace and the situation under Xuanwu.

Perhaps this would lead to his hatred value in King Ning’s heart, but when it was confirmed that Xuanwu had escaped Ning’s assassination and would hide more secretly next, in order to remove Xuanwu as soon as possible, King Ning could only pinch his nose and temporarily suppress his dissatisfaction with him.

As for whether Xuanwu will settle the score after being really cleared by King Ning...

Ha, by then, he had already taken the "token" he stole from the Ning Palace and went to Tianjin to exchange for the reward he deserved. Then, whether it was a change of appearance, he disappeared from the world, or went directly to the capital to fulfill the agreement with Bai Shier, and then joined the Jinyiwei or the Six Gate, it all depends entirely on his thoughts at that time.

...

But when Wu Jian was "building the plank road in an open manner" and trying his best to muddle the water, he didn't know that Ye Xiao, Chu Xun and Zhu Zhuan had already "secretly traveled to Chen Cang" and bypassed him and "cluttered" together first.

Not to mention, Chu Xun and Zhu Zhuan, who were able to deceive Xuanwu's eyes and gain Xuanwu's trust, had already been dissatisfied with Xuanwu. After knowing Ye Xiao's identity, they immediately chose to hug their thighs.

Therefore, even if he showed up, he could not muddle the water at all, and he would not be able to conceal his whereabouts and block the eyeliner of the Ning Wang Mansion.

What he did was just useless work.

No, it cannot be said that his approach was completely useless. He left the Ning Prince's Mansion just as dawn every day, and then wandered in Hongdu Mansion until sunset before returning. The only benefit of working hard for several days was:

It finally made Ning Wang feel confident in his "identity".

...

"If this is the case, then what Kang Jinlong has done since entering Hongdu Prefecture City will make sense."

After listening to Ye Xiao’s report, King Ning couldn’t help but nodded, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"No wonder he was so fearless before. It turned out that from the beginning, he just wanted to use this king to seize the fortune worth nearly 10,000 taels of silver for him."

When he said this, King Ning's face did not show any indignation. On the contrary, he seemed to admire Wu Jian quite a bit, even though he knew that Wu Jian was so brave that he tried to use him as a vassal king.

"Prince, since there is no problem with Chu Xun and Zhu Zhuan, it can completely replace the shameless person who has no fear of the prince. Do you need subordinates to go..."

King Ning did not seem to be angry or dissatisfied with Wu Jian's attempt to use him, but as his subordinate Ye Xiao, his face was extremely indignant.

While King Ning was still thinking, he couldn't help but whisper to King Ning.

Even without words or even actions, Ye Xiao’s meaning is self-evident.

"Ha, no need."

But King Ning, who was awakened from his thoughts, faced Ye Xiao, who was "the master was humiliated and the minister died", was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled and shook his hand, denying Ye Xiao's idea.

"Compared with the incompetent and loyal person, I would rather have talented people under my command as ambitious as the Kang Jinlong."

King Ning stood up with a strong sense of confidence on his face.

Obviously, he was smart since childhood and from an extraordinary background, and he was fully confident in whether he could control his talented but also very dangerous subordinates like Wu Jian.

"But..."

But Ye Xiao, who had been struggling in the world for many years, had already formed a way to survive by discovering a slight danger sign and trying to extinguish it immediately. Therefore, after hearing that King Ning seemed to be in danger and tried to control Wu Jian, he couldn't help but frown and wanted to advise him.

"Okay, I have decided, so there is no need to say more about persuasion."

But King Ning did not give him a chance. As soon as he spoke out to persuade him, he immediately waved his hand slightly dissatisfiedly, interrupted him, and completely blocked the road to continue persuasion behind him without hesitation.

"Since those two people want to participate in this king, then I will first see if their minds are smart."

It seemed that Ye Xiao might have been desperate to continue persuading him. King Ning immediately changed the topic and talked about Chu Xun and Zhu Zhuan who wanted to serve him.

"I wonder how the prince wants to test them?"

He knew in his heart that he would not even be able to listen to a word when he continued to persuade him. Instead, he would only make Ye Xiao, who was unhappy in his heart, could only sigh helplessly in his heart. After thinking about finding another opportunity to persuade him, he calmed down and followed King Ning's words and asked.

"Aren't Kang Jinlong searching for their traces around the city now?"

A look of expectation appeared on King Ning's face.

"The prince means..."

Ye Xiao immediately understood King Ning’s thoughts, and then he couldn’t help but feel the same.

If he could use Chu Xun and Zhu Zhuan this time, making Wu Jian's performance dissatisfied King Ning or was enough to make King Ning feel afraid, then if he continues to persuade him, he will undoubtedly achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"Since he wants to find him, wouldn't it be too boring to keep making this useless work? Let Chu Xun and Zhu Zhuan try to contact him and tell them that how much trust they can gain from this king depends on how much valuable news they can get from Kang Jinlong this time."

He was not worried that Chu Xun and Zhu Zhuan would get any information about Wu Jian from Ye Xiao, because he was sure that without his orders, Ye Xiao would never reveal a word to them.

"yes."

Ye Xiao, who had already made up his mind, naturally had no objection. He immediately bowed and responded, and left the room backwards.

...

"hiss."

Although Hongdu Prefecture is located in the southern country, it is impossible to have no winter all year round like Yazhou, the southernmost part of the state dynasty. Moreover, in recent decades, the weather has become more and more evil year by year.

Therefore, even though the figure of the sun was clearly visible in the eastern sky, Wu Jian could not help but shivered after stepping out of the room.

What made him feel more uncomfortable than the cold weather was what he was doing.

He originally thought it would not be too difficult to find the marks left by Xuanwu's men in the city and then obtain preliminary contact with the other party, but five days passed, but he still found nothing.

Seeing that half of the time he agreed with King Ning had passed, although he was not anxious, he was already a little anxious.

However, although he was unable to find the marks left by Xuanwu's men for a long time, he felt that he had already achieved a little success in his heart.

Yesterday, when he returned to Ning Prince's Mansion at Sunset, he deliberately walked a little slower than usual. When he was still more than ten steps away from his small prison courtyard, he saw the night owl who looked a little tired and slightly irritable.

And this discovery undoubtedly made him feel a little proud and secretly happy.

After wandering around for four days, and having a stroll around the crowd, it was a baptism of the way to wander around the crowded shops. Even Ye Xiao’s top-notch tracking and surveillance is obviously not a good time.

He was very nervous and lasted for a whole day, for four consecutive days, even Iron Man could not stand it.

And Ye Xiao’s performance yesterday undoubtedly proves this.

This means that his plan to completely muddle water has achieved considerable results. Next, at most, for another four days, Ye Xiao will definitely make mistakes.

But when he thought of this, his nerves couldn't help but tighten a little.

The time is rare. If he finally took advantage of this high-intensity action that had lasted for nearly ten days and temporarily left Ye Xiao's tracking and got enough safe opportunities, but failed because he did not find Xuanwu's subordinates, then wouldn't all his hard work these days be wasted.

Therefore, he must work harder to find Xuanwu's men as soon as possible, so as to contact them after the time comes.

...

But what Wu Jian didn't know was that in his impression, he followed his butt, and was constantly using the abortion, terrain, shops and tortured Ye Xiao, except for the first day, had never followed him. He was actually fighting wits and courage with the air, and even was proud of it.

As for the scene he saw last evening, it was just Ye Xiao deliberately disguised it in order to paralyze him.

With the entire Ning Prince Mansion being a spy, he obviously has no privacy at all.

Even though he thought it was very natural, a little slower than the previous few days, at the moment he appeared, he had been transmitted by the guards who were observed and recorded every day through secret gestures, and then the Xuanwu, who had been prepared, "just happens to" come in from the gate.

"Have he left the palace?"

"Half a cup of tea, just left."

Faced with Ye Xiao's inquiry, Wu Jian was just an ordinary gate guard in his eyes, and immediately reported the time for him to leave the palace.

If it weren't for the equipment that did not have a more accurate calculation of time now, but instead of going to later generations, I'm afraid he would be able to get to the third decimal point after the second.

Even if these nines are nine, it may be an unnecessary approach.

When King Ning faced Ye Xiao's advice, he was so arrogant, obviously not just because of his identity as a vassal king and his pretentious character since childhood.

"Um."

In fact, Ye Xiao, who had already planned it thoroughly with Chu Xun and Zhu Zhuan, had deduced it in detail several times, checked for the omissions and made up for the shortcomings, and improved the plan, knew in his heart that as long as Wu Jian walked out of the Ning Prince's Mansion today like he had been a few days ago, everything would have been settled, and he had no need to ask such a question at all.

Obviously, even though he was involved in the formulation and improvement of the plan, he was unable to participate in it personally and control it in real time, which still made him feel uneasy.

But no matter how nervous he was, now he can do nothing except praying that Chu Xun and Zhu Zhuan will not lose the chain.

...

It's noon at sunset.

The remaining moisture in the morning was finally dispelled by the sun. Although the weather was still cold, there were already more pedestrians on the street.

Wu Jian, who was not sure whether Ye Xiao had been thrown away by him, was still crowding towards crowded places, and his eyes kept sweeping towards the corners of the walls on both sides inconspicuously, hoping to see a familiar mark that would make his eyes shine.

Unfortunately, until the sun had reached the top of his head, he had consumed all the food on the roadside food stall in the early morning, and when he felt hungry in his stomach, he still had nothing to find.

Wu Jian, who knew that such a thing was definitely unhurried, could only sigh in his heart, find a restaurant that looked like the best business, get some food, and fill in the Five Insect Temples.
