As night fell, Yi Lei quietly summoned Ah Fu, Ah Lu and Ah Shou. The three of them had also trained well in Yunxiao Mountain, and now they were indispensable in every critical mission.

"We have an important mission tonight," Yi Lei said in a low voice, with a look of determination in his eyes, "We must grasp the movements of King Liang as soon as possible, otherwise we will be passive."

Ah Fu nodded and asked calmly, "Master, what do you need us to do?"

"You will each go and investigate the surroundings of Prince Liang's Mansion. Be careful and don't get caught." Yi Lei's tone left no room for doubt. "Ah Fu, you will be in charge of the west side, Ah Lu will be in charge of the east side, and Ah Shou will be in charge of patrolling the north and south sides."

The three of them took orders and quickly split up to act. Yi Lei stood in front of the window, looking at the capital city at night, his heart filled with tension and anticipation. He knew that this night's actions would determine their future direction.

Soon, Ah Fu was the first to come back, and he brought a shocking news: "Master, there are quite a few unfamiliar faces outside the Liang Palace, and they seem to be newly recruited masters."

Yi Lei frowned and thought to himself, "It seems that King Liang has noticed something. We must be more cautious."

Soon after, A Lu and A Shou also came back with more information. A Lu found that the security of the Liang Palace was tighter than usual, and A Shou found several suspicious people secretly monitoring.

"It seems we must speed up our actions," Yi Lei made up his mind, "I will go to investigate the Prince Liang's Mansion in person tomorrow morning."

The followers nodded in support. Yi Lei had a plan in mind. He knew that every step forward was crucial and he could not afford to be careless. As the night deepened, Yi Lei became more determined and his plan to secretly counterattack King Liang was also moving forward step by step.

--------------------

In the morning, Yi Lei changed into casual clothes and quietly left the mansion. He walked briskly, but he was a little nervous. There were few people on the street, and the morning mist enveloped the entire capital, giving people a mysterious and depressing feeling.

He carefully walked through several alleys and finally arrived near the Liang Palace. At this time, Ah Fu was already waiting at the designated location. He had also changed into ordinary vendor clothes and was holding a basket full of groceries.

"Master, everything went smoothly and no one discovered us." Ah Fu reported in a low voice.

Yi Lei nodded, and scanned the surroundings. After confirming that there were no suspicious people, he said softly, "Let's split up and try to get closer to Prince Liang's Mansion to see if we can find any clues."

Ah Fu left in response, while Yi Lei slowly approached the side door of Prince Liang's mansion. He pretended to walk around casually, but his eyes were always paying attention to the movements around him. There were many more guards in the mansion than usual, and it was obvious that Prince Liang had begun to take precautions.

At this moment, a familiar figure caught Yi Lei's attention. It was Liang Wang's confidant, Qin Zhong. Qin Zhong was standing by the side door, seemingly arranging something important. Yi Lei held his breath, quietly approached, and tried to hear their conversation clearly.

"We must increase our vigilance tonight and arrest any suspicious persons immediately." Qin Zhong said coldly.

Yi Lei's heart tightened. It seemed that King Liang had indeed noticed something. Tonight's operation would be more difficult. He thought to himself that he must find a chance to pass this information back so that his father and his fourth and fifth uncles could prepare in advance.

At this moment, Ah Fu suddenly appeared and gave Yi Lei a signal. Yi Lei quickly followed him and the two found a hidden place to meet up.

"Master, I noticed some suspicious movements. Several people are secretly monitoring us." Ah Fu said in a low voice.

Yi Lei frowned and thought to himself: "It seems that we have been targeted. We must leave here as soon as possible." He decided to retreat temporarily and go back to make new plans.

As the two turned to leave, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind them. Yi Lei's heart tightened, and he quickly signaled Ah Fu to speed up. They turned into a narrow alley, trying to shake off the person following them. However, the footsteps became clearer and clearer, and it was obvious that the other party did not give up easily.

"Master, we've been discovered!" Ah Fu reminded in a low voice, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

Yi Lei gritted his teeth and made a quick decision: "Let's go separately. You go back from the left, and I will lead them away from the right."

Ah Fu nodded and ran to the alley on the left without hesitation. Yi Lei quickened his pace and ran to the alley on the right. He deliberately slowed down to ensure that those people could keep up with him and buy more time for Ah Fu.

The alley was dimly lit, and Yi Lei was walking through the narrow passage, the footsteps getting closer and closer. He suddenly made a sharp turn and hid in an abandoned house, holding his breath and quietly observing the movements outside.

Several men in black ran by quickly, and it was obvious that they had discovered Yi Lei's trail. Yi Lei secretly rejoiced that he had reacted in time and temporarily got rid of the pursuers. He walked out of the house carefully and continued to move towards the house.

At this moment, a cold voice came from behind: "Prince Lei, you are really good at fighting."

Yi Lei turned around suddenly and saw Qin Zhong standing at the entrance of the alley, looking at him with a sneer. Yi Lei's heart sank, knowing that he was surrounded.

"Qin Zhong, what do you mean?" Yi Lei pretended to be calm and tried to delay time.

Qin Zhong snorted coldly: "Master, do you think we will really tolerate your little tricks? King Liang has long expected that you will come to investigate."

Yi Lei secretly thought that it was not good, but he remained calm on the surface: "It seems that King Liang is indeed smart. I wonder how you plan to deal with me?"

Qin Zhong showed a sly smile: "Don't worry, Prince Lei, we just want you to go to Prince Liang's mansion and have a chat."

Yi Lei knew the situation was urgent and he had to find a way to escape as soon as possible. He secretly tightened the dagger in his sleeve, ready to act when the opportunity arose.

At this moment, Ah Fu suddenly appeared from the other side, brandishing a knife and pointing it directly at Qin Zhong. Qin Zhong was caught off guard and hurriedly retreated, but the blade was already approaching. His face changed drastically and he shouted angrily: "Catch them!"

Several men in black quickly surrounded them. Yi Lei and Ah Fu stood back to back, facing the enemy's encirclement. Yi Lei whispered, "Ah Fu, we must break through!"

Ah Fu nodded, the blade in his hand flashing coldly. The two of them worked in perfect harmony and quickly launched a counterattack. Yi Lei's dagger accurately stabbed a man in black's throat, blood splattered, and the man fell to the ground. Ah Fu waved his long knife, forcing several men in black to retreat, buying precious time for Yi Lei.

"Master, run!" Ah Fu shouted while continuing to fight with the enemy.
