Chapter 869: Chapter 868: Taking Matters into My Own Hands
Ah Jiuās thoughts, Wufu didnāt try to guess, just seeing Yi Erās provocative look, with an expression saying, āIf you can do it, go ahead and do it,ā stirred a bit of fighting spirit within him.
"Alright, pick a few people for me then." Wufu looked at Yi Er indifferently. As for what she could teach them, he waited with bated breath.
Seeing her full of confidence, Yi Er couldnāt help but raise an eyebrow and looked at Ah Jiu.
"Didnāt you say to invite her for guidance yourself?" Ah Jiu glanced at him coldly, implying that he should fill the pit he dug.
Yi Erās mouth twitched. He just said it casually; who knew some people couldnāt understand polite speech and took it seriously. Now that the prince had spoken, if he didnāt choose someone, he might be looked down upon by the little girl in front of him.
"Tomorrow, Iāll send the people over." Yi Er said through clenched teeth.
Nearby, Tang Shi and others couldnāt help but laugh quietly, as it was rare to see the Second Commander being snubbed.
"Letās talk business." Ah Jiu took a sip of tea, reminding him.
Yi Er immediately put on a serious expression, but he glanced at Wufu, seeing her sitting upright, and their master didnāt ask her to avoid suspicion either, his eyebrows moved slightly.
"Yi Er?"
"Yes." Yi Er snapped back to attention, took out a roll of drawings from his sleeve, and spread it out in front of Ah Jiu.
Wufu glanced at it; it should be a layout diagram of a mansion, drawn with extremely complex lines.
"Just for this diagram, youāve lost eight people?" Ah Jiu looked down at it and glanced sideways at Yi Er.
Yi Erās face turned slightly unsightly and said, "Forgive me, my lord. Zhao Mingjunās mansion, formerly Prince Qingās mansion, covers a vast area. And that Moon Viewing Pavilion, the studyās critical place, is not only full of traps; it is also the point with the most guards."
Otherwise, how could his men go and not one return?
Ah Jiu said nothing and sneered, "He really isnāt afraid of letting people know his secrets are hidden here, with an attitude of āCome if you dare.ā"
Yi Er said, "Indeed, thereās a bit of reckless confidence in his demeanor."
Ah Jiu snorted, watched Wufu lean over to look, and straightforwardly handed the diagram to her.
"What is this for?" Wufu took it, glancing over while asking.
Ah Jiu replied, "Itās the layout diagram of Zhao Mingjunās mansion, the place weāre going to break into."
"My lord!" Yi Er was shocked, looked at Ah Jiu, and said, "Jia Yi has already deployed personnel over. The item my lord wants, we will present it to my lord in a bit; please wait safely, my lord."
Ah Jiu glanced at him, his eyes spoke only two words: āNosy!ā
Yi Er knelt down and said, "My lord, if we cannot retrieve that object, we are willing to meet my lord with our heads."
He even made a death pact, Wufu raised an eyebrow and asked, "What does the Tenth Prince have that you want? Worth risking yourself personally!"
"Itās nothing much, just want to see if the so-called impenetrable, irresistible Tenth Princeās Mansion is as difficult to breach as claimed!" Ah Jiu said indifferently.
Yi Er heard and frowned, looking at Tang Shi and the others. Why hadnāt he received this newsāthat the prince came to Changan and planned to personally intervene!
"My lord, a wise man does not stand beneath a collapsing wall. Please reconsider your decision." Yi Er grinded his teeth silently, clasped his hands in a fist, and persuaded.
"Rise and speak; itās not such a big deal." Ah Jiu said.
"My lord!"
Yi Er still wanted to persuade further, when Yuan Ye said, "Yi Er, the lord has his own discretion, letās hear what the lord has to say first!"
Yi Er, hearing this, thought to himself, even you canāt be relied upon.
