Chapter 356 New Plan



They knew that the assassins would be back to their tent, so they shouldn’t feel afraid of losing them. If they did his plan, they would kill two birds with one stone.

Hmm... probably three birds... if everything went successful.

Because by doing this new plan, they didn’t need to find out about the eunuch’s master. On the contrary, the eunuch and his master would be the one who searched for them by themselves.

Thus, they let the three of them went separate ways. They were pretty sure that the assassins were going to go back to their tent. However, they needed to subdue them before they could go back.

Lin Jian laughed in a low voice while patting Yao Ying’s shoulder and praised the latter, "You are really smart!" His eyes were twinkling with happiness. "It’s really a good idea. Although I’m not really sure whether the eunuch’s master will find us or not."

Yao Ying shrugged his shoulders. "It doesn’t really matter anyway... Honestly, it doesn’t really concern us in the first place. I mean, the palace struggle inside this palace because this isn’t our kingdom. We will get no benefits anyway. Our main points are to do our plan tonight and protect Xiao Fang’s father..."

Lin Jian murmured his agreement. "Indeed..." He said while nodding. Fortunately, Yao Ying was quite clear-headed so he could think of such a good plan in a short time.

They quickly executed their plan, fortunately, Qi Hao had people who had the skills to help them. The two of them were back to their tent and told Ah Man, Yao Ling, and Xiao Fang about everything they had heard and the new plan. Ah Man was surprised and became paler at first when he heard that they targeted his master, however, after they told him Yao Ying’s plan, Ah Man was able to sigh in relief and smiled.

"I will ask Young Master Qi Hao for his help as well after relaying the entire message," Ah Man gave a promise and he quickly went out of the tent. This was a piece of important news ah~! If Yao Ying’s plan worked nicely, they wouldn’t need to worry about the assassination. However, everyone needed to work well on their part or else, the plan would fail.

Yao Ling asked in a low voice, "What about the assassins’ families?" She still felt pity for the assassins, after all, they didn’t really want to do this job.

There were some things that Yao Ying couldn’t say to his wife or it would lead into a quarrel, however, Lin Jian was different. He quickly answered on behalf of Yao Ying when he noticed that Yao Ying shouldn’t answer this question or it would hurt Yao Ling’s feelings.

Lin Jian sighed and answered carefully, "Yao Ling, I know that you are kindhearted. However, you still need to look at the big picture in every matter. The assassins’ families have nothing to do with us --- we don’t know them. If you turn this matter the other way around or from another perspective, our family also doesn’t matter to those assassins. They are willing to kill Xiao Fang’s father for the sake of their families. We can also do the same --- we are just protecting ourselves and our family. It’s a bit sad but it’s the truth ah~!"

Yao Ling sighed. "I know..." She answered weakly. She just thought people with power were really selfish and they were able to sacrifice the ordinary people’s lives just for the sake of their benefits. This was the reason why sometimes she missed her simple life with Jiu Lan and Yao Ying back at the village. Everything was so calm and peaceful despite she needed to do a lot of hard works by herself.

It seemed like she still couldn’t change her peasant side.

Yao Ying noticed Yao Ling’s sad mood and he patted her back to comfort her. "Everything will be okay," he said in a soft voice. He added to himself, ’Sooner or later, we will get used to it. No... not only will, but we have to! He just hopes that both of them will stay pure and not being blinded by their new status. For power could bring out people’s greediness.’

Yao Ying decided to change the direction of their conversation and asked, "Do those palace maidservants give the schedule details for our performance?"

Xiao Fang nodded. "We still have a few shichen to prepare ourselves." The person in charge was quite efficient because he or she let the palace maidservants give them a detailed list of the performance schedule so they could prepare themselves beforehand. This could save a lot of troubles for the palace maidservants --- after all, who dared not to prepare themselves for the banquet ah~?

They couldn’t afford to make the Empress Dowager unhappy at her birthday banquet. Even though the Han Emperor was quite lecherous, he was filial to the Empress Dowager.

Xiao Fang gave the list to Yao Ying and Lin Jian. She didn’t want to recite the long list, it seemed like the Han Emperor really invited a lot of people.

The men took a look at the list and searched for the two assassins’ trope’s name so that they knew when those two assassins would perform. Each tent had the trope’s name and the official’s name that they represented, because of this, it was easier for them to find information.

When Lin Jian found the assassins’ trope’s name and the name of the official who brought them, he asked, "Xiao Fang, do you know this official?" He wanted to know who the poor official was. If the assassins successfully killed Feng Yong Rui, this official wouldn’t escape from it as well.

Xiao Fang took a peek at the name and it was her father’s enemy --- or to be exact, he allied with the other prime minister who always fought with her father. "Interesting..." Xiao Fang pondered over the matter. They must have wanted to frame this as a fight between the two fractions.

Yao Ling massaged her forehead, "This is so complicated." She really just wanted to do the performance well, deal with the wicked couple, go home, and sleep --- but it seemed like that it wouldn’t be that easy ah~!

Xiao Fang laughed and said, "You will get used to it. I just think that whoever wants to hurt my family will be my enemy as well." Otherwise, she would get stressed out with the political matter.

Yao Ling knew that Xiao Fang was right. If Wang Fu joined in the fight between the throne, Yao Ying and her would be affected as well. She just hoped that it wouldn’t happen to her new family.

The assassins’ trope would perform after them, so it would be perfect. The eunuch’s master wouldn’t know that they had interfered with their plan. They only needed to wait for Ah Man to come back and tell them that he had handled their plan successfully, so they could sigh in relief. They believed that it would be an easy thing for Ah Man to do.

They also waited for Rong Qiu’s news from Feng Yong Rui. Who knew that maybe Ah Man would tell them some good news about Rong Qiu as well before the performance so that they could do the plan at ease...

In the end, it would come down to their performance. May Buddha would bless them and everything would go smoothly that night!
