Chapter 103 Falling into a Trap

Under the dim moonlight, Lin Hao turned a corner and was sure that no suspicious objects were following him nearby. He just let down his guard and breathed a sigh of relief.

Tonight's assassination may seem simple, but it is actually extremely dangerous.

Fortunately, the eldest prince called him to the study and used the delaying technique of playing chess to create an alibi.

And Yan Peng is the best witness.

Otherwise, once investigated, he, an outsider who has just entered the eldest prince's faction, will inevitably be under suspicion.

After all, most of the people who can go to the palace to attend the banquet are close associates of the eldest prince and the second prince.

As long as you investigate carefully, you can quickly eliminate irrelevant persons.

Buzz——!

At this moment, a wolf spider flew over on a kung fu fly and landed on Lin Hao's shoulder.

But he saw a ring with dark golden patterns hooked on the wolf spider's tentacles.

The wide ring seems to be the size worn by obese people.

There is no doubt that this is Ma Shuoliang's personal storage ring. After killing it, Wolf Spider also took it away.

"Good job."

Lin Hao praised, then took the storage ring and put the Kung Fu Fly and the others into the system's pet backpack space.

Looking at the storage ring in his hand, Lin Hao was not in a hurry to explore the wealth inside and quickly put it in his inner pocket.

It's better not to expose this kind of stolen goods as much as possible.

Otherwise, this little storage ring could bring him death!

As for Ma Shuoliang's death, unlike Yang Chengji, he didn't need anything to prove it.

Even if the Ming Pavilion organization does not need to investigate, news of the death will soon spread throughout the imperial capital.

After all, the official rank of the Minister of Household Affairs was not low, and a third-rank official in the imperial court was suddenly assassinated. This incident was enough to cause a great sensation.

However, there was one thing that Lin Hao always felt was wrong.

He felt that it was reasonable and reasonable for King Yan to mobilize the power of Ming Pavilion to kill Yang Chengji as a remnant of treason.

However, Ma Shuoliang was an official who worked for the imperial court and was a supporter of the eldest prince's faction, so he should not affect the foundation of the Great Yan Dynasty.

But how could Mingge want to assassinate him?

Is it possible that the person chosen by King Yan to succeed him was not the eldest prince?

Tonight's assassination was intended to shock Yan Peng and Yan Fengjun, and to warn them that enough was enough.

The thoughts in Lin Hao's mind couldn't help but come alive, constantly pondering the plot direction of this royal struggle for power.

Recently, he had heard Qin Yu talk about the current situation in the DPRK.

Now, the eldest prince and the second prince are all in one faction, and relying on the power of their mother's family, they have gathered nearly one-third of the ministers in the court.

The fourth prince, Yan Chen, was talented and talented, and his martial arts skills were excellent, and he was highly appreciated by many military officials.

The most important thing is that he has the support of the General Qin family's palace, and he is fully confident to compete with the eldest prince and others.

As for the third prince, Yan Hongyi, it was said that he had been frail and sickly since he was a child and often lived in seclusion in the palace. He seemed to have no interest in the fight for the throne.

Therefore, let’s analyze the current situation.

If the Ming Pavilion organization acts under the will of King Yan and assassinates the supporters of the eldest prince's faction, it will be used as a way to shock the tiger.

Then, the situation is undoubtedly very obvious. King Yan undoubtedly prefers the fourth prince Yan Chen as the candidate for the next throne.

"That third prince, is he really that weak?"

Lin Hao muttered secretly in his heart.

In his previous life, after all, he had seen many movies and novels about the palace seizing power.

Among them, there were also some princes who were extremely forbearing and always showed themselves to be weak.

Que Jing watched as many princes killed each other and finally reaped the benefits.

Therefore, in Lin Hao's view, if the third prince was really this kind of person, he would undoubtedly be very terrifying.

"I just accept the mission and don't care how they fight."

Regarding this battle for imperial power, Lin Hao's thoughts became more and more complicated, and he immediately smiled coldly with an indifferent expression.

Then, after adjusting his mood slightly, Lin Hao walked towards the gathering place Qin Yu mentioned earlier.

Yanchen's private residence is located in the north of the city.

The distance was a bit far, so Lin Hao naturally wouldn't just walk there. There happened to be a carriage on the street, so he walked over.

The driver was a middle-aged man, probably in strong health because he had been pulling carts all year round.

But he was a man with one eye missing, and his left eye was tied with a piece of black cloth.

"Little brother, where do you want to go? The price is negotiable."

Seeing Lin Hao approaching, the one-eyed coachman immediately greeted him with a grin.

Lin Hao asked: "How long does it take to get from here to the vicinity of Juyuan Pavilion in the north of the city?"

"About half an hour."

The one-eyed coachman replied casually without thinking.

Lin Hao didn't think much about this.

After all, how can a coachman who often solicits customers work if he is not familiar with the geographical location?

"Okay, let's go to this place."

Lin Hao stepped directly onto the car and sat in the carriage.

Immediately afterwards, there was a "squeaking" sound from the carriage and it started to move.

Since the journey took half an hour, when Lin Hao was bored, he simply turned off the shared vision with the Four Treasures and meditated quietly.

After several months of practice, he is now no longer the novice in magic skills he was back then.

In terms of spiritual cultivation, he has also increased to the level of a third-level mage.

During such meditation, Lin Hao quickly entered an ethereal state of cultivation.

With Xiaobai and Sibao guarding him, he was not worried about a sneak attack.

What's more, since he came to the imperial capital, he has been keeping a low profile and has not made any grudges, so he does not need to worry about his enemies seeking revenge.

Just like that, time passed by minute by minute.

However, after half an hour, Lin Hao suddenly came back to his senses, and his expression suddenly became alert.

Because he found that the carriage's driving process suddenly became bumpy.

It stands to reason that the streets of the Imperial City extend in all directions and the roads are smooth, so there is no chance of such violent bumps.

This is the case, unless it is on a gravel road outside the city!

Lin Hao frowned slightly, feeling more and more something was wrong.

Immediately he reached out and opened the curtain of the carriage.

Si Bao also stuck his head out.

Suddenly, what came into view was a desolate night.

In such an environment, where is the bustling street scene in the Imperial City!

There is something wrong with this coachman!!
