Chapter 295 Thrilling Capture at Night
Li Shu, however, seemed to be blinded by her inner demons, a mocking smile curling at the corner of her lips: "Kindness and integrity? What can you get in this cannibalistic world? Nothing more than being bullied at will."
Hui'er, no man is immune to the lust for power!
I did all of this for his future, to pave a way for him to rise to the top!
Given his title as a county magistrate, it would take him several years to get promoted even a fraction of a step.
She didn't want to live to the point of death without ever receiving an imperial decree.
What she wanted was power in her own hands, not the position of a minor county magistrate's wife and this small courtyard.
She was an illegitimate daughter; if she married into a higher social class, she could only be a concubine, and if she married into a lower social class, she could only be a wife.
However, marrying down did not mean she was willing to be the wife of a county magistrate in this godforsaken place.
"Hui'er, look at our lives now, and then look at the splendor of those wealthy and powerful families."
Although I am a concubine's daughter, in what way am I inferior to a legitimate daughter?
Why should they be born to enjoy honor and privilege, while I have to struggle in this quagmire?
Now that I've entered this county magistrate's office, I can't just be a mediocre magistrate's wife, living a life of idleness and insignificance.
Li Shu became more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes sparkling with fervor.
She has connections. The fact that the Crown Prince came here is a huge opportunity, a chance to change the allegiance of the family!
As long as the Crown Prince's "purse" is managed well, the Dou family is eliminated, the Crown Prince is free from worries, and his "brothers" are eliminated, the Crown Prince can smoothly ascend to that position.
The contributions of the Tang and Li families in supporting the rise of the dynasty are enough to propel them to great heights, making them highly sought-after figures of power and influence!
She walked over and gently took Li Hui's hand. "Hui'er, you're still young. You'll understand later."
Li Hui flung Li Shu's hand away, saying, "Second sister, you're playing with fire and getting burned."
To her, straight is straight, and curved is curved.
If the crown prince ascends the throne, the Li family might just become the next Dou family.
After all, the Crown Prince's money bag, Tianyue Tower, salt wells, and silver mines were all in the hands of the Li family.
The Li family is incredibly wealthy, and the naturally suspicious Crown Prince would never allow them to survive unscathed.
When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken.
Her second sister, this one wrong move has led to total defeat.
Li Hui stepped forward, his face full of pleading: "Second sister, is it worth it?"
Is it really worth scheming for someone who doesn't love you?
"Let's stop, okay? Let's stop. I don't want to marry my brother-in-law anymore. I'll go and become the second wife my mother arranged for me. I'll go and marry him, I'll go and serve as a helper for the family through marriage."
A flicker of emotion crossed Li Shu's eyes, but it vanished in an instant.
She gently shook her head and reached out to stroke Li Hui's face. "Hui'er, it's too late. Father has already handed over the silver mine..."
Therefore, our Li family and Tang family are now in the same boat as the Crown Prince.
"Success or death..."
Upon hearing this, Li Hui collapsed to the ground.
That's it. With the Crown Prince's personality, even if the silver mine is handed over... he'll still think the Li family is hiding something.
Moreover, possessing a silver mine is a serious crime in itself...
It's over, it's over...
After several rounds of drinks, the music and singing at the Pingding County Inn stopped.
The prefect took his leave with his son-in-law, and the crown prince also entered the bathtub to bathe and prepare for bed.
Dou Weiyi and the others arrived at the only inn in Pingding County, about three miles away.
He nudged Qian Yan'er and said, "Yan'er, you're short, so if you go out to scout, you won't be easily noticed."
Qian Yan'er, who was picking her nose with a black face towel, was stunned. She turned her head and rolled her eyes at Dou Weiyi.
He said he felt insulted.
"Hmph, fine, I'll go then."
He quickly wiped his hands on himself, then pulled off the face mask and swaggered out.
When Gao Mengli saw Qian Yan'er go out, she raised her voice to keep an eye on him. But after he went out for a walk, he came back without any problems or anyone stopping him. Gao Mengli felt a little ashamed.
Dele looks too safe; no one bothers to stop him.
When Qian Yan'er returned, she shrugged at Dou Weiyi and said, "I'm back again!"
Dou Wei looked at the bean sprouts in front of her with a complicated expression, and quickly reached out to push them away.
It's true what they say: if you can't see someone when you're looking down, you won't be bothered.
Seeing that Dou Weiyi was looking around and couldn't make a decision for a long time, Mengze quickly volunteered and stepped forward.
"I'll go, I have murderous intent!"
Dou Weiyi sized up Mengze, and Mengze, understanding, immediately revealed his murderous intent.
This murderous aura pleased Gao Mengli, who was standing nearby.
No wonder he's a pig butcher; after killing so many pigs, he's become a walking machine that generates malevolent energy.
Mengze's eyes narrowed, sending chills down one's spine.
His aura instantly hardened, carrying the stench of blood from the slaughterhouse, making anyone who saw him feel a chill.
Dou Weiyi nodded slightly, also acknowledging Mengze's "killing intent," but why did this killing intent feel so familiar?
However, he didn't think too much about it, because it was quite appropriate for Mengze to go as the pathfinder.
"Okay, then go and give it a try!"
Mengze immediately ripped off his face mask and walked out like a big shot.
Sure enough, before they even got close to the inn, they were stopped by the guards: "Who are you? Get out of here! Anyone who comes near will be killed on sight."
Mengze wanted to take another step, but then he heard a "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sound, and countless arrows shot out from the darkness, landing right in front of his steps.
"Did you see clearly? Where are the archers shooting?"
Dou Weiyi heard the sound of arrows and quickly looked for a direction, but before she could see any other direction, they disappeared into the darkness.
As expected, his guess was correct; there were guards and assassins protecting them.
The people around nodded: "We saw it clearly."
The people around him made a hand gesture, waiting for Dou Weiyi's order so they could fly out and capture people one by one.
"Do it!"
Dou Weiyi lowered his voice, which struck everyone like a heavy hammer blow.
In an instant, the person beside him shot off like an arrow, hurtling toward their predetermined target.
Each of them was agile and skillful, taking advantage of the cover of night to cleverly avoid the initial sight of the guards and assassins, preparing to flank the enemy from multiple directions, such as the flanks and the rear, and catch them off guard.
"who!"
Hearing the commotion, the guard cried out in alarm.
Mengze, who had just been probing, saw Dou Weiyi's actions and immediately drew his long sword, killing one of the guards.
"There are thorns..."
The other guard only had time to shout before Mengze silenced him with a single sword strike.
"Shut up, I know you can talk!"
After saying that, Mengze quickly joined the chaotic group.
Although Qian Yan'er's martial arts skills were inferior to those of the bodyguards and assassins, she still managed to hold her own and fight to a draw thanks to her agile movements.
Seeing a lone bodyguard join in, Qian Yan's fists were no match for four hands, and her neck was about to be separated from her body.
Gao Mengli immediately pulled the trigger, and with two "bangs," she rescued Qian Yan'er from danger.
Fireballs are extremely lethal, but they are also incredibly loud.
The prince, who was resting with his eyes closed in the bathtub, suddenly opened his cold eyes upon hearing the noise.
