Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents-Chapter 261 - 62: The Prime Minister’s Targeting! Endure? Endure My Ass—Charge Straight In

Chapter 261: Chapter 62: The Prime Minister’s Targeting! Endure? Endure My Ass—Charge Straight In

"Marquis? Do you know which marquis?"

The marquis was killed?

Well, that’s definitely not a trivial matter.

"I think he’s called Marquis Wanshun!"

Xing’Er had only heard someone mention it in passing.

She thought hard for quite a while before recalling the title Marquis Wanshun.

"Marquis Wanshun?"

Oddly enough, that sounded very familiar.

Ye Liuyun pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"So it’s him!"

Now he remembered. It was not long after he first replaced Ye Liufeng’s identity to become a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

He had once arrested a young master from a marquis’s family.

And that man was Marquis Wanshun. At the time, he’d thought the marquis would retaliate, but the revenge never came. Now, hearing news of the marquis again, he found the man was already dead.

"Husband, do you know this Marquis Wanshun?"

Xing’Er couldn’t really figure out all the twists and turns in this.

She only saw Ye Liuyun’s look of sudden recognition, and thought Marquis Wanshun was some acquaintance of her husband.

"I know him, but he would probably count as an enemy!"

Though honestly, from the start, he’d never thought much of the guy.

"I see!"

Only then did Xing’Er nod in understanding.

So he was an enemy.

Then there’s nothing to worry about. At first, she thought he was a friend of her husband, even started thinking of how to offer comfort. Now that she heard this, there was no need for comforting words.

"Which is why having more enemies is actually better for a person!" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Recalling something, Ye Liuyun couldn’t help but sigh that.

Hearing this—

Both Xing’Er and Qu Sisi turned their heads in confusion.

Everyone says the more friends you have, the more paths there are. No one ever says there are benefits to having lots of enemies.

"Ha!"

Ye Liuyun chuckled first,

then began explaining.

"Isn’t it true? If you have lots of friends, the day something bad happens to one, you have to feel sad for them. But if you have lots of enemies, after enough time, small snippets of good news might come every few days."

,, ,

He actually made some sense.

Xing’Er and Qu Sisi opened their mouths, but couldn’t think of any way to refute him for the moment.

Actually, it’s more like they had absolutely no way to refute it.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing the two women like this, Ye Liuyun couldn’t help laughing.

"Alright! For now, just stay inside the manor and try not to go out. If you need anything, have the servants buy it for you!"

This Marquis Wanshun wasn’t particularly famous, but was still a marquis after all.

Killed inside the Imperial City.

And it sounded like the killer still hadn’t been caught.

Ye Liuyun suddenly recalled that Lv Lan had said before that a batch of prisoners had escaped from Purgatory, and among them there was a grandmaster. Looks like the two events must be connected somehow.

You could tell just by looking at how the perpetrator had slaughtered twenty thousand City Defense Army troops first.

The other side clearly intended to take revenge on Great Qian.

After all, after suffering so long in Purgatory, now that they’d finally gotten out, it made sense they’d want to get back at Great Qian.

So,

The City Defense Army was probably just the beginning. The true goal was surely not just the City Defense Army.

First Marquis Wanshun.

Next, maybe they’d go after other officials at court.

Some who were strong might not be afraid.

But clearly, not every official could find protection to shield themselves from a grandmaster’s sights.

"No wonder everyone’s panicking!"

Easy enough to understand.

The richer and more powerful these officials were, the more they feared death.

Now, knowing a grandmaster’s targeting them, it’d be odd if they weren’t scared.

As for Qu Sisi and Xing’Er, they naturally had no objections to Ye Liuyun’s arrangements and nodded obediently.

,,,

In the palace.

Seeing Lv Lan return, Yan Shuzhu felt much more at ease.

These days, with Lv Lan gone, Yan Shuzhu still looked normal outwardly, but in her heart she’d been somewhat worried. Thankfully, she was back now.

"How did it go?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured!"

Knowing what Yan Shuzhu was asking,

Lv Lan nodded immediately.

"Liuyun already returned. Come tomorrow morning court, Your Majesty will see him for sure!"

She didn’t call Ye Liuyun to the Imperial City right away,

Just having him back is good enough.

"That’s good!"

With this, Yan Shuzhu’s expression settled even more.

With both Ye Liuyun and Lv Lan here, her worries were truly swept away.

"These days, there’s been so much trouble in the Imperial City!"

Thinking of all that had happened lately, Yan Shuzhu couldn’t help but shake her head and sigh.

"Don’t worry, Your Majesty, those people will be caught for sure!"

Though she wasn’t sure

Where exactly those prisoners who escaped Purgatory were hiding now, but as long as they hadn’t left Great Qian, one day they’d be captured.

And,

The biggest problem among those people was just that grandmaster.

"That’s not all I’m worried about!"

Yan Shuzhu gave a slight shake of her head.

Actually, capturing those people—difficult as it was—wasn’t impossible.

What Yan Shuzhu worried about was something else.

"Now that Father has signs of breaking through his final seclusion, many people can’t sit still any longer. I’m afraid this is just the beginning—even if we capture these people, situations like this won’t disappear."

"Who knows what else those people might come up with to stir up trouble in the Imperial City!"

So long as those people don’t intend to stop,

Even if we solve this incident, there’ll be a next time, and another after that.
