Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 723 Death without a burial place

"Although I did not hear Chu Yueli say this to him with my own ears, Lu Fengjin was drunk last night and he did curse Chu Yueli for telling him to take the weapons away."

That bastard! He was cursing and resenting Chu Yueli last night, but today, seeing Chu Yueli come to his door again, he's all over her now.

The white-robed sect leader fell into deep thought.

Qin Mingyue wanted to speak, but seeing his solemn expression, she didn't dare to say anything more.

Can only wait.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the white-robed sect leader suddenly said, "So, they mean to take this batch of weapons away?"

“That sounds like it,” Qin Mingyue said immediately.

The white-robed sect leader snorted: "They probably want to transport the weapons to the Imperial City Army's camp."

Once the items fall into the military camp, it would be virtually impossible for these people to steal them.

"Although the manufacturing workshop is near the city's outskirts, it is still within the city. To transport the goods out, they still have to go through the city gates. Now that the end of the year is approaching, it is impossible for the Imperial Army to enter the city on a large scale, otherwise, it would definitely cause panic."

People in the royal family are very particular about the royal style. If they cause panic during the New Year, where will the emperor's face be?

"So, the sect leader means that the royal army can't enter the city to hand over the goods before we leave? In other words, we still have a chance to get our hands on the goods between the workshop and the city gate?"

"This is our only chance." The white-robed sect leader clenched his fist and sneered, "They're so cunning, so don't blame me for being ruthless! Gather all the brothers immediately and be ready at any moment."

"But I'm afraid Lu Fengjin will be personally escorting him..."

"The destructive power of the thunderbolt is such that even the King of Ink might not be able to withstand it, let alone a mere Prince Jin?"

The white-robed sect leader's eyes turned icy, a murderous aura surfacing: "If he doesn't trust you, then he has no use to us. In that case, let him and his entire team be buried deep in the mountains, as if the thunderbolt had gone wrong. These people... will all die without a burial place!"

……

Before we knew it, it was New Year's Eve.

Tonight is New Year's Eve. Lanterns are hanging at the gate of the Prince Mo's mansion, and the mansion is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. Although it is not yet night, it already looks very lively.

"Today, Miss is going to the palace to pray for blessings with the Emperor and Empress Dowager, and she also has to stay up all night to welcome the New Year. She probably won't be coming back tonight, right?" Actually, Zisu wasn't very clear about the palace's procedures. It was said that staying up all night meant staying up until midnight.

But it was also said that on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, one must enter the palace to pay respects to the Emperor and Empress Dowager. So, should one spend the two or three hours in between in the palace, or return to the Prince's residence to spend the night?

Chu Yueli shook her head: "This is my first time getting married, I don't know anything about it. My mother will tell me when I enter the palace later."

"If I don't come back tonight, you'd better find something fun to do yourselves. Oh, and you're all staying up tonight too. Where do you plan to stay up tonight?"

Neither she nor Prince Mo were there, which meant there were no masters in the mansion. They would be keeping vigil by themselves, but wouldn't it be even more fun without masters?

Otherwise, one would still have to serve the master.

Sure enough, Zisu seemed to have planned this all along, and said with a grin, "You don't need to worry about this, Miss. We'll find our own fun, sing, dance, and eat barbecue. Midnight will be over in the blink of an eye."

Chu Yueli wasn't worried at the moment; instead, she was incredibly envious.

She will definitely be subject to many rules and regulations upon entering the palace, and she will certainly be very restrained.

Outside, Liu Yun rushed over: "Your Highness, the carriage is ready and we can depart at any time."
