The moment he controlled Shuang, the faces of every staff member showed excitement.
My lord's plan finally came to fruition at this moment.
From deceiving Shuang over to implementing the plan, they spent a lot of effort, pretending to be the grandson for too long, just for this moment of being a master. With an unconcealable smile on his face, one of the staff turned around and said loudly:
"My lord, we succeeded—"
Before he finished speaking, the expression on his face had already turned into panic.
There are also two knives on He Yue's neck. And the most unbelievable thing is that the person holding the knife is actually their companion, the core member of the Internal Affairs Department who followed He Yue to Yuxi City from the sea of clouds with them through life and death!
At that moment, someone yelled:
"Laoge, Chengzheng, are you planning to betray your lord?"
"How come traitors like you have come out of our Internal Affairs Office! Hurry up and take down the knife!"
"Did you forget all the kindness your lord gave you for saving your life back then?"
During the scolding, the two staff behind He Yue remained motionless, like clay puppets.
Shuang slowly put down the wine glass, her upturned head fell back to the original position, and the staff members pulled away a little of the weapons in their hands, for fear of hurting her. Now his own adults are also in the opponent's hands, the scene is completely deadlocked, Shuang's safety is equal to He Yue's safety.
Under such circumstances, Shuang spoke slowly, and said indifferently:
"Master Shoufu said he didn't want to, that is to say, he didn't plan to cooperate with the little girl. All the things before were just a test?"
Although she has already torn her face, He Yue still said:
"Miss Shuang is so clever, she can even bribe people around me."
Shuang didn't answer this sentence, but just asked:
"Master Shoufu must have arranged it for a long time. Knowing that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not my opponent in terms of force, so I pretended to agree with the idea of seizing the throne proposed by the little girl, and while planning according to the idea of seizing the throne, I planned to free up my hands to deal with the little girl. Let the main forces of the Anbu organization disperse into the city first, and then wait for an opportunity to trick me out. Tomorrow is the day of the incident, and no matter how dangerous it is tonight, I will visit in person. This is the greatest opportunity for Mr. Shoufu.”
Shuang narrowed her eyes and said coldly:
"But Mr. Shoufu is still worried. He is worried that I have a relatively high level of cultivation, or that someone will protect me in secret. In order to relieve my guard, Mr. Shoufu took great pains. He deliberately arranged for his staff to treat me. The different attitudes make me feel that I can divide and draw together, and I don't worry about you guys mobilizing in groups, which is a miscalculation of the situation. After that, Mr. Shoufu will use his own discretion to give the little girl the impression that the drinks are not poisonous. Mr. Shoufu will give the little girl The woman toasted, and the two staff members who supported the little girl before were chosen. They poured wine from the adult's flagon to give me a sense of openness. These are all to further reduce the vigilance of the little girl. But the little girl still He will pretend to be smart, suspecting that there is no poison in the wine and that there is poison in the cup, so he makes the final test. After finding nothing, he naturally feels suspicious. He didn't expect that the opening was when he was drinking. Mr. Shoufu is not worried about the little girl's cultivation base is too high, directly Are you going to kill these guys?"
Of course He Yue would not tell her that she was already prepared to be killed.
From the moment he decided to arrange the assassination tonight, he had put life and death aside.
Even with the current ending, he was still able to calm down because she really didn't care about exchanging her life with Shuang.
The core of the Internal Affairs Department is there, and Yuxi City can still operate as usual. The loss of a leader will cut the upper limit by a large amount, but with these people, the lower limit will not be much lower. On the contrary, there is no frost in Anbu, and the remaining people have no reason to betray Yuxi City, so they will tacitly reconcile with the Department of Internal Affairs.
He Yue said calmly:
"Compared to those, I care more about how you instigated the people around me."
Shuang raised her eyebrows, and replied in a normal tone that could no longer be normal:
"They had nothing when they were with you, but it doesn't mean they don't have a family now. People, when you have nothing, you can ignore everything. The heroism, family and country feelings come and go when you call them, but once you have them, It's still unavoidable that the children will love each other. The little girl holds all their wives and daughters in her hands, and she will naturally make them obedient."
He Yue sneered and said:
"The power that Lide gave you is still too great, and your hands have even reached out to my internal affairs office!"
For some reason, Shuang said briskly:
"This is the little girl's fault, but since Anbu has supervisory power, it has to infiltrate every corner of Yuxi City, including the Department of Internal Affairs."
He Yue frowned. Not because of the content of Shuang's answer, but because of her tone.
Frost said slowly:
"Master Shoufu is in charge of the big and small affairs of Yuxi City, no less than the prime minister of a country. The appointment of personnel, legislation and justice, and coordination of the operation of various departments... everything is in the hands of the adults. These adults have done a good job But playing tricks, assassinating assassinations, these dirty jobs are done by little girls, adults should not do it, and they can't do it well. Adults think they have everything, but girls seem to be full of flaws. It's like adults asking their staff to serve wine , taking the opportunity to assassinate, seems to be logical, but if you want to change glasses, you should set up the glasses from the beginning; if you drink by yourself, you should not have a second set of wine glasses in the house."
The icy blade was attached to He Yue's jade neck, and a slight movement would bring her to a happy ending.
The doubt on He Yue's face deepened.
A smile appeared on Shuang's face, and said softly:
"My lord, don't think about it. Since I control the cronies around you, why should I take the risk to go to the dinner alone tonight?"
The look on He Yue's face changed suddenly, her eyes widened, and she said incredulously:
"Are you testing me?!"
The smile on Shuang's face remained unchanged, and she raised her hand slightly, and the two staff behind He Yue put away their knives.
Frost said slowly:
"Master Shoufu may not know that before Qian Teng came to the City Lord's Mansion that day, he came to my Anbu stronghold first. When he told me the news, I asked the strongest assassin in Anbu to go to the front line to save people. Tonight It's also not a peaceful night. The forces of all parties are surging, and the second-ranked bottle is currently leading people to fight against other assassins. The dark organization has indeed come out and laid a net in the whole city, but it is not against the city lord. Loyal dog, but it has other uses. If I want the city lord to die in the demons, I don’t have to transfer the seven major consummation assassins from Yuxi city on the first day. With her, Anbu can kill whoever he wants, the chief assistant There is no chance for adults to put a knife on my neck."
He Yue squinted her eyes and looked at Shuang. She didn't ask her staff to withdraw their weapons immediately, but asked:
"What exactly do you want?"
Frost smiled and said:
"Master Shoufu can't trust the little girl, and the little girl can't trust Mrs. Shoufu. If you want to talk about temptation, it's also each other. If Mr. Shoufu doesn't do anything to the little girl tonight, I will launch an assassination tomorrow when Mr. Shoufu makes a speech and take over the internal affairs I would rather use up all the foundations of the five cities, and take back the city lord."
Although she had a smile on her face, her voice was very cold, so there was no doubt that she would do this.
He Yue looked down, thought for a while, and said:
"Put the knife down."
