hundred and twenty wells around the city, some of which were over forty feet deep, but they still couldn't find any water. So every day, soldiers had to go thirty miles away to carry water back on the...Chapter 804: Putting My Heart On The Line, Li Yinhu

Just a short while ago, the warrior who was lively and fighting back-and-forth with Xu Wei was now lying dead in a pool of blood. Besides Xu Wei's look of shock, Li Yinhu seemed used to this.

It seems that this is perfectly normal.

He glanced at Xu Wei and said faintly, "Come with me."

Turning, Li Yinhu brought Xu Wei into the study. After sitting down, he said, "Things have been hectic lately, and changes come when they will. That's why I issued an order that no one is to approach the main courtyard. The people below are following my orders."

Xu Wei's mind was still echoing the image of that suicidal assassin. He took a deep breath and said to Li Yinhou, "Your Highness has thought things through carefully. It was I who acted rashly."

Waving his hand dismissively, Li Yinhǔ said, "Let's not dwell on that. What brings you to me"

Xu Wei twitched.

He didn't come here to report anything. His main purpose was to gather intelligence.

Now that things have reached this point, if he were to tell the truth, he'd probably be dragged out as a corpse the next second.

A thought flashed through his mind like lightning. Xu Wei spoke, "Your Highness, I caught several suspicious people outside the mansion. After identification, I discovered they were spies from the East Palace. Unfortunately, I couldn't get any more information before they committed suicide by poison."

This statement is, of course, nonsense.

But no matter when, saying that the Eastern Palace has spies monitoring the Prince's Mansion is definitely not wrong.

Xu Wei's clever disinformation caught Li Yinhu off guard.

Just as Xu Wei had thought, Li Yuhou didn't doubt the authenticity of this news at all.

Because in Li Yinhǔ's view, it was perfectly normal for the East Palace to have people keep an eye on him.

It's strange if no one comes.

"Before, it was still people secretly being sent to watch. Now, they've come out in the open."

Li Yinhu let out a cold snort. His sense of crisis skyrocketed, and at the same time, his urgency to rebel intensified.

In his eyes, the outside world was now fraught with danger, and Li Chen could kill him at any time. Therefore, he had to act sooner rather than later.

Under the strong sense of crisis, Li Yinhu looked at Xu Wei and felt that he needed to use everyone around him. He said softly: "Xu Wei, how long have you followed me"

Here it is!

Finally here!

Xu Wei was startled.

But whenever there's a beginning like that, there are only two possible outcomes.

One is trying to kill himself.

Another is that someone wants to be promoted.

Li Yinhu has no reason to kill himself now, so he must be entrusted with an important task.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Wei said in a low voice: "To the prince, I have been following you for almost a year."

Nodding, Li Yinhu said, "That's right, almost a year. It doesn't seem like very long, but since I became king, you've been by my side. So many people have come and gone, yet you're still here. Now, counting it up, you're one of the old-timers around me."

Xu Wei quickly replied, "Your Highness' kindness is beyond measure. I am deeply grateful."

Li Yinhu smiled and said, "If you yourself are incapable, this king would not be able to have any affection for you, even if I wanted to."

"Right now, I have a very important task for you to do. You can only succeed, not fail. Dare you do it" Highness only asked me to bring a message, there were no other instructions."Upon hearing this, the Jin merchant whose face was full of kindness and smiles just a second ago instantly changed his exp...
