is right, we really can’t run now, let alone disguise ourselves.”"Right now, outside, it's likely that Zhao Xuanji's spies have already surrounded the place completely. Even here in the General's Mans...Chapter 1325: Brewing an Assassination

The huge contrast between the two sentences, both in content and weight, left Zhang Biwu and Fu Yuzhi somewhat flustered.

They stared at Zhao Xuanji in disbelief.

Assassinate the Crown Prince.

This is not the first time they have done this.

Although every attempt has failed, for such a momentous occasion, shouldn't the four words "directly pierce the heavens" be discussed openly, rather than in secret

How could it be so effortlessly, so lightly discarded!

Zhao Xuanji said calmly, “The success rate of assassinating the prince is low, but it has to be done.”

With a slight squint, Zhao Xuanji said, "Because only at this time can we do it. Although the absolute success rate is low, the relative success rate is the highest."

Even with experts guarding him, the prince would still need to get out of his carriage and stay in inns, eat at restaurants, etc., which would be much more convenient than life within the heavily guarded East Palace.

"The most important thing is..."

Zhao Xuanji punched the table lightly, and said, "The best time to act is now. Our suspicions will be minimal compared to those who have even greater reasons to be suspected!"

"I don't seek success in assassination, only to cause chaos and suspicion for the Crown Prince. If I can achieve that, then half the battle is won."

Zhang Biwu swallowed hard and said, "Are you saying...to assassinate openly and frame it on someone else secretly"

Zhao Xuanji chuckled softly: "Zhang brother, you truly understand me."

“Of course, if the assassination is successful, that would be best. If the prince dies, the empire will fall apart. You and I, along with the third person, could secure a place for ourselves. At that time, the court will be leaderless. It'll still be the three of us who hold the power. Even if there's feudal division or borders are breached, it's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix, isn't it You needn't have me say more.”

And if the assassination fails, I have a way to clear myself and make the Crown Prince suspicious of everyone.

At this moment, both the Liao Kingdom and King Ning, even King Wen, have absolute reason to do this. As long as they make a slight adjustment, they can make each other suspicious.

"Therefore, not only should we assassinate, but we should do so openly and publicly."

Zhang Biwu hurriedly asked the most crucial question, "What can you do to absolutely clear your suspicions"

Zhao Xuanji seemed to have known Zhang Biwu would definitely ask such a question. He replied calmly, “This assassination, I didn't need the Imperial Guard to do it, nor did I need anyone from the capital city to do it. Instead, I used people from the martial arts world.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Biwu and Fu Yuzhi exchanged glances, each seeing astonishment in the other's eyes.

The two of them were both incredibly intelligent, and upon hearing this, they immediately understood. Using martial artists to carry out the deed could effectively wash away all suspicion and divert the prince's attention to other factions.

After all, whether it's the Liao Kingdom's domestic spies and intelligence networks, or ambitious figures like King Ning and King Wen, they all have more opportunities and probabilities to contact underworld figures than these few high-ranking officials.

Zhang Biwu's mind was quick, and he added, "Using people from the martial arts world is a good idea, but the person chosen must be absolutely reliable. Otherwise, if it were to leak, all previous efforts would be in vain, and we might even get into big trouble. Elder, do you have someone in mind"

Zhao Xuanji smiled without saying a word, only gently clapped his palms.

The applause died down, followed by a Buddha's chant that echoed in Zhang Biwu and Fu Yuzhi's ears.

"Amitabha Buddha, this old monk's dharma name is Jue'an, the abbot of Beishaolin Temple. I have met both esteemed individuals."hen smiled mischievously and leaned close to Su Jinpa, asking, "Are you feeling better from the cold you caught a few days ago""It took just a few doses of medicine and it was all better.
