Return of the Phoenix Lady

Chapter 174 Late night secret conversation

"Young Master, do you want to go back now?" Ying Rui asked softly to the cold stars in the night sky after leaving the house.

"You go back first! I'll go to Shangguan Hongyuan's bedroom and study to see if I can find any clues." Han Xing thought for a while and replied.

Ying Rui had no objection. Although Shangguan Hongyuan was the prime minister, his cultivation was not bad either. His own cultivation was not good enough. If he was discovered, Han Xing might be implicated, so he just went back obediently.

So, Han Xing went to Shangguan Hongyuan's study first.

It's already late at night, and there shouldn't be anyone in the study, but I didn't expect that Shangguan Hongyuan is also a night owl. He hasn't slept yet in the middle of the night and is staying in the study, not knowing what he is doing.

Han Xing quietly came to the roof and listened quietly.

"Uncle, what do you think we should do about this?" The voice was Jin Haoyu! It was so late, what were Jin Haoyu and Shangguan Hongyuan discussing in the study?

"Haoyu, don't be anxious. With that kid and Wu Shuang in our hands, why should we worry about not getting the military token?" Shangguan Hongyuan said with a confident smile.

"But they don't have any of it!"

"You forgot that Qin Hongyu has more than one son. Maybe the military token is in Qin Wuyou's possession!"

"Qin Wuyou...isn't that Brother Han?" Jin Haoyu lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly murmured.

Shangguan Hongyuan raised his eyebrows and smiled when he heard this: "Haoyu, do you know Qin Wuyou?"

"He...he is my brother..." Jin Haoyu's voice was a little struggling.

"Brother? Wouldn't that be easier?" The meaning of these words was self-evident.

Jin Haoyu frowned and said hesitantly: "But..."

"Haoyu! Those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters. You can't ruin our plans for so many years just for this little bit of brotherhood!" Shangguan Hongyuan looked at Jin Haoyu earnestly, with a hint of severity in his eyes.

After a while, Jin Haoyu finally said, "I understand, uncle."

"Well, that's right!" Shangguan Haoyu nodded with satisfaction.

Han Xing, who was lying on the eaves, sneered at this. It was no wonder that Han Xing didn't like Jin Haoyu. Although Jin Haoyu was very nice to Han Xing on the surface, the ambition and desire hidden in his eyes made Han Xing really dislike him.

"Uncle, why did you let Xiyu take Qin Wu to see his mother? If he secretly..."

Before Jin Haoyu could finish expressing his concerns, Shangguan Hongyuan waved his hand and said proudly, "Don't worry. I drugged Qin Wuguo, and her cultivation has been completely destroyed. And there's even less to worry about Wu Shuang. The chains that bind her are made of steel that even divine artifacts can't cut. They were given to her by a mysterious person I accidentally rescued. Now, apart from the key I have, no one can unlock the chains. Tell me, who else can save Wu Shuang?"

A mysterious person? Could it be someone from Tianwai Island again? Han Xing couldn't imagine where else could such a heaven-defying thing exist besides Tianwai Island!

"Uncle is really wise! Haoyu is ashamed of himself!" Jin Haoyu praised.

"Well, but there is one thing that gives me a headache!" Shangguan Hongyuan's proud smile turned into sorrow, and he said helplessly.

"What is it?"

"The crown prince has been dealt with by us now, and your second and fourth brothers are just minions. However, your fifth brother Jin Yifeng is really difficult to deal with. Not only does he have a high level of cultivation, he is also the disciple of the continent's powerful Mo Qingyuan. Your father also values ​​him very much, and now there are many people supporting him. He is the stumbling block on your road to success and must be eliminated!" The more Shangguan Hongyuan spoke, the more sinister his tone became.

Han Xing was secretly shocked. She had never expected that the death of the Jin prince from illness was fake. It turned out that they had murdered him! For the throne, Jin Haoyu even dared to kill his own brother! She really underestimated him! And a prime minister of a country actually dared to murder the current crown prince, and it had not been discovered yet. His power was truly so great that he could cover the sky with one hand!

"Jin Yifeng? Humph~ That kid is so arrogant. One day I will trample him under my feet!" Jin Haoyu said hatefully. Ever since the last incident at the academy, his impression of Jin Yifeng was extremely bad. He couldn't stand Jin Yifeng's arrogant and indifferent attitude. He even dared to stop him from approaching Brother Han. It was simply unforgivable.

Upon hearing this, Han Xing couldn't help but curl his lips to express his disdain.

"Uncle, do you have any way to bring down Jin Yifeng?" Jin Haoyu looked at Shangguan Hongyuan eagerly.

"There is a way, but it's not easy!" Shangguan Hongyuan pondered.

"Uncle, why don't you tell me about it? Maybe I can do it!"

Shangguan Hongyuan looked at Jin Haoyu, then took out a small medicine bottle from his arms and said, "As long as we give this to Jin Yifeng, it will be easy for us to kill him. However, Jin Yifeng is a cold and arrogant person, and he doesn't even have anyone close to him. It is really difficult to kill him!"

Jin Haoyu frowned as he looked at the small medicine bottle after hearing this. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind, and he couldn't help but mutter, "Jin Yifeng is not without close friends around him."

"Oh? Haoyu, who is it?" Shangguan Hongyuan was also excited. This was a great hope!

Jin Haoyu's lips moved and he said, "Xinghan!"

"Xinghan? Your little brother who is particularly good-looking?" Shangguan Hongyuan recalled.

"Yes, and he is not only Xinghan, but also Qin Wuyou!" Jin Haoyu said firmly.

Han Xing rolled his eyes on the roof after hearing this.

"Oh? I didn't expect this kid to be so useful!" Shangguan Hongyuan smiled, but his smile contained too much conspiracy and intrigue.

Jin Haoyu nodded and continued, "I helped him meet Qin Wuguo. Now, with just a little trick, he'll definitely hand over the military token and poison Jin Yifeng!" In Jin Haoyu's mind, Han Xing was just a weak, simple, and non-threatening person, a spoiled brat who could only hide behind others for protection. Unfortunately, he didn't guess correctly either.

Jin Haoyu has now figured it out. He doesn't think there is anything wrong with using Han Xing. He won't hurt Han Xing anyway. Instead, after he successfully ascends the throne, he will protect him well and give him everything he wants. He can also eliminate the annoying Jin Yifeng. Why not do it?

"As long as we defeat him, the world will be ours! Haha~" Shangguan Hongyuan seemed to have seen the world at hand, and said proudly.

Han Xing sighed on the rooftop. How cowardly was the current emperor of the Jin Dynasty? His son and brother-in-law didn't even take him seriously. He was the emperor, but he wasn't as threatening as his other son.

Then came the triumphant laughter of the two, which seemed a little creepy in the silence of the night.

"Okay, uncle, it's getting late, you should go to bed early! Haoyu will take his leave first!" said Jin Haoyu.

"Well, go back and have a good rest!" Shangguan Hongyuan nodded and walked out.

Han Xing glanced coldly at Jin Haoyu's back on the roof, and then his figure flashed and disappeared from the roof.

It's not difficult to get the key now, but it will alert the enemy, so it's better to wait until we have collected evidence of their crime before stealing the key! This way, we can kill two birds with one stone, and Yingchen and Wu Shuang will have to endure it for a few more days.

Han Xing returned to his room and gradually fell asleep.

The next day, Han Xing returned to Fengyun Tower and found Jin Shengtian. He explained to him that he should not worry and should stay here to recuperate. He would take him to a safer place in a few days to exercise and strengthen his body. Jin Shengtian agreed obediently, and everything was settled.
