Inside the dimly lit tent, candlelight flickered. Chu Li sat opposite Qi Ge with a furrowed brow, the atmosphere heavy.

"Qige, Mudar's power in the Azure Kingdom is growing, and he has become a major threat to us. He hinders our plans at every turn. If we don't eliminate him, our plans in these three kingdoms will likely fall apart." Chu Li's voice was deep and resolute, revealing an undeniable ruthlessness.

Qige nodded slightly, stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment, and slowly said, "What you say is very true, young master. Mudar is cunning and treacherous, and his guards are extremely tight. It is not easy to make a move against him. But he has a fatal weakness: he is extremely fond of beautiful women."

A glint flashed in Chu Li's eyes, and he leaned forward eagerly, asking, "Is this true? Do you have any detailed information?"

“Absolutely true,” Qige said confidently. “According to reliable sources, he goes to a villa on the outskirts of the city on the fifteenth of every month to enjoy himself with several beauties. At that time, his guards are relatively lax.”

Chu Li lowered his head in thought, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table. After a while, he said, "This is indeed an opportunity. However, even if the number of guards is reduced at that time, given Mudar's skills and vigilance, the people we send may not be able to escape unscathed."

Qi Ge smirked coldly. “Young master, do not worry. We can set up an ambush around the villa in advance and arrange for experts skilled in stealth to strike him down when he is not paying attention. In addition, I have also found a colorless and odorless poison. If we mix it into his wine, he will be poisoned and die without even realizing it.”

Chu Li's eyes were full of admiration. "Qi Ge, I'm entrusting this matter to you. Make sure it's done cleanly and efficiently, leaving no room for error. The operation is scheduled for the 15th of this month. Once everything is ready, we can discuss it in detail."

"Yes, sir. I will not let you down." Qige bowed and accepted the order, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

In a secluded courtyard shrouded in night, all was quiet except for the rustling of leaves in the breeze. Youyue, dressed in black, stood tall and straight in the center of the courtyard, the moonlight shining on her and outlining her cold and aloof features.

Just then, a slight noise came from the courtyard gate, and Youyue looked up alertly. She saw Qige walking in hurriedly, his expression showing a mixture of seriousness and urgency.

"Youyue, the situation is urgent." Qige walked quickly to Youyue and said in a low voice, "Young Master has decided to take action against Mudar of the Azure Kingdom. As you know, Mudar is a great obstacle to our plans and must be eliminated as soon as possible."

Youyue nodded slightly, her gaze sharp, signaling Qige to continue.

“Young Master intends to select two of the most outstanding women among you in his own name and present them to Mudar.” As he spoke, Qige took out a portrait of Mudar from his robes and handed it to Youyue. “Muddar is obsessed with beauty and will surely be delighted to receive such a gift. We will send these two women to his villa on the outskirts of the city. When he lowers his guard and becomes infatuated with their beauty, that will be the perfect opportunity to make our move.”

Youyue took the portrait, examined it carefully by the moonlight, and then asked, "Do these two women have any special requests?"

After a moment's thought, Qige replied, "Not only must they be stunningly beautiful, but their dancing must also be exceptional, capable of completely capturing Mudar's attention in a short time. More importantly, they must be agile and possess the ability to kill with a single blow."

"I understand," Youyue replied. "Then how exactly should they carry out their plan?"

Qige leaned closer to Youyue and whispered, "They need to carry poisoned daggers with them, hidden in their clothing. When Mudar is captivated by their beauty and dance and lowers his guard, one of them will pretend to serve them, drawing Mudar's full attention, while the other will seize the opportunity to strike from behind, making sure it's a fatal blow. After it's done, we'll arrange for someone to meet them outside the villa and help them escape."

Youyue frowned slightly and asked, "Mudar must have many guards around him. Even if they succeed, how will they break through the encirclement and meet up with their backup?"

Qige was well-prepared and calmly said, "We will create a series of disturbances near the villa to attract most of the guards to investigate. At the same time, we will arrange for experts skilled in stealth to intervene at crucial moments, disrupting the remaining guards and buying them time to escape. In addition, I will prepare special smoke bombs for them, so that they can throw them out in case of danger to cover their escape."

Upon hearing this, a resolute glint flashed in Youyue's eyes: "Alright, I'll go and select suitable candidates and intensify their training. Please tell the young master that we will certainly live up to your expectations."

Qi Ge nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave. You Yue watched Qi Ge's departing figure, her gaze growing increasingly resolute. She secretly plotted how to select the most suitable assassin to ensure the mission's success.

As the sun set, the city lord's mansion in Lin Yuan City was brightly lit and decorated with festive red silks hanging from its carved beams and painted rafters. The rich aroma of wine and delicacies mingled in the air. This banquet was held by Chu Li, Qi Ge, and Mu Daer to celebrate the elimination of General Li Xiao of Lincang Kingdom.

Mudar, dressed in a black robe embroidered with gold, was a robust and imposing figure. His full beard was neatly groomed, and his deep eyes revealed a ruthless and shrewdness honed by years of battlefield experience. He stood in the center of the banquet hall, laughing heartily as he exchanged pleasantries with the guests around him.

At this moment, Chu Li and Qi Ge stepped in side by side. Chu Li wore a moon-white brocade robe with a white jade belt around his waist. He was tall and straight, with a cold yet elegant expression. Qi Ge, on the other hand, was dressed in a black close-fitting outfit. He was agile and had sharp eyes like a hawk, constantly watching his surroundings.

"Haha, Young Master Chu, Brother Qi, you've finally arrived!" Mudar strode forward, opening his arms wide with enthusiasm.

Chu Li smiled slightly and said, "General Mudar, I'm so sorry, there was a delay on the way, I've kept you waiting."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the three men walked together to the head seat. Mudar picked up a full glass of wine from the table and said loudly, "Gentlemen! Today's banquet is to celebrate our joint efforts in eliminating Li Xiao of Lincang Kingdom. This man was ruthless and repeatedly opposed us. Now that he is dead, there are no more obstacles on our path forward! Come, this glass is a toast to our victory!"

Everyone raised their glasses, loudly echoing the call, and drank it all in one gulp.

At the banquet, singers danced gracefully, their long sleeves flowing, like fairies descending to earth. Musicians played elegant string and wind instruments, the melodies melodious and gentle, sometimes like a babbling brook, sometimes like a stampede of horses.

After a few rounds of drinks, Mudar's face flushed, and his enthusiasm grew even higher. He patted Chu Li on the shoulder and said, "Young Master Chu, this collaboration was truly delightful! If there are any more important matters like this in the future, be sure to call on me, Mudar."

Chu Li smiled and nodded, a subtle hint of something deeper flashing in his eyes, and said, "Of course. General Mudar is brave and skilled in battle, and has exceptional wisdom. It is my honor to cooperate with the general."

Qige silently observed everyone's expressions, subtly noticing every detail. He noticed that although Mudar appeared extremely enthusiastic towards Chu Li, a hint of wariness would occasionally flash deep in his eyes.

At that moment, a guard hurried into the banquet hall and whispered a few words in Mudar's ear. Mudar frowned slightly, his face instantly turning grim. He quickly regained his smile and said to Chu Li and Qi Ge, "Gentlemen, I'm truly sorry, but some urgent matters have arisen in the army, and I must attend to them. Please enjoy yourselves to the fullest!"

Chu Li and Qi Ge exchanged a glance and nodded. Watching Mudar's hurried departure, Qi Ge whispered to Chu Li, "Young Master, I think Mudar is probably not as simple as he seems. We need to be careful."

Chu Li nodded slightly, glancing in the direction Mudar had left, and said softly, "That's right, this banquet is just the beginning..."
