Chapter 40 - You Know too Much
“Young Master… Young Master… “Come out, not good!” “Young master …” The sound of the door being knocked resounded as Wu Sheng stood outside and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Yin Xu waved his hand and used inner force to open the door. He asked while frowning: “Didn't I tell you not to disturb me even when the sky is falling down?”
“No …” Young Master, this is much more serious than the collapse of the sky! ” Wu Sheng was still gasping for breath, it was obvious that he had been running all the way here.
“What's the matter?” Is the time for the steward to die or are you going to marry your wife? “
“Pah pah!” Young Master, don't be a jinx! ” Wu Sheng ran over and pulled Yin Xu away, “Hurry, Third Prince is here.”
“Teng Yu is here?” Yin Xu asked in surprise.
“Young master, I am a prince, you can't call me by my name!” Not only is Third Prince here, he is also injured.
“Oh?” Yin Xu was even more curious. That man who hid his strength could be injured? It can't be faking it again, right?
He hastened his steps and followed Wu Sheng to the guest room. Upon entering, he saw the man sitting with his back facing him, with one arm on the table. The old eunuch called Han Sen was bandaging him up.
“What's going on? “Who dares to harm his son and his grandson?” Yin Xu leaned on the door and gloated.
Hearing the voice, Teng Yu turned his head, the expression in his eyes was obscure, he glanced up and down at Yin Xu, and realised that after just two days of not seeing him, the person gave off a different feeling.
He was clearly still that person, but the current Huo Tian was actually able to make people feel a wave of pressure, this kind of feeling was something that he had only felt from Emperor Dechang and Huo Zhengquan.
Yin Xu saw that his expression was strange and frowned. He walked over and raised Teng Yu's arm to check his injuries.
Fortunately, his skin had been cut a little by a sharp weapon, so he had lost a lot of blood. He glared at Wu Sheng, blaming him for making a big fuss out of nothing.
Teng Yu also didn't think that he would be able to see this youth again so soon. Originally, he should have returned to the capital, but when he passed An County, he couldn't help but have the urge to pay a visit, which was why this happened.
“Nothing, I was bitten by a domesticated dog.” Teng Yu replied indifferently.
“…” Yin Xu didn't know who he was referring to, but he asked unhappily: Where are the guards by your side? Are they all dead? “
“They are indeed dead.” Teng Yu replied in a flat tone, “Why are you keeping unfamiliar with this?”
This time, Yin Xu understood. Previously, he had felt that there was a problem with the guards around Teng Yu, and he did not treat Teng Yu with much respect.
However, I heard that those people were bestowed by the old Emperor.
“If you kill them all, how are you going to account for it when we get back?”
“Heh, explain what?” Teng Yu raised his brows, and revealed a sinister smile, “I still need them to give me an explanation!”
He had wanted to deal with this pile of trash for a long time, and it was rare for him to get such a good opportunity.
“You guys leave first. I have some matters to discuss with the Seventh Young Master Huo alone.”
Wu Sheng and the butler left without hesitation. On the other hand, Han Sen asked worriedly, “Your Highness, you were injured just now …”
Teng Yu waved his hand, “No problem, I trust Seventh Young Master.”
Yin Xu glanced at the corner of his mouth and declined to comment, but he still walked to his side and sat down. After the door was closed, he asked: “What do you want to talk about?”
“This hall will give you a chance to return to the capital in broad daylight. Do you want it?” Teng Yu pushed the empty cup in front of him, gesturing for him to pour some tea.
Yin Xu poured a cup for himself first, then filled it up for him. He replied unconcernedly: “There's no need for Your Highness to worry.
“I believe you, but why don't you listen to my opinion first.”
“Go ahead.”
Teng Yu told him his plan. Originally, this plan did not involve Yin Xu in anything, but since suspicion and curiosity about this person had arisen, he wanted to get this person to his side and watch over him.
“You mean …” You want me to be your savior? Who would believe that? “
“Why not? I was ambushed on the way from Riverside County to An County, but I didn't expect there to be a traitor amongst the guards, so I turned the tables around. Luckily, I was escorted by two loyal servants to escape, and coincidentally met with the help of the Huo Family's Seventh Young Masters Lord on the way, so I was able to survive.
“The Emperor will believe it?” It was not because the story that Teng Yu made up was too outrageous, but because of the Emperor's shrewdness and suspicion, it would be difficult to believe.
“Whether he believes or not is not important. So what if he knows the truth? In front of all the officials and the people of the world, he can only give you a great reward. Otherwise, how would he explain that half of the guards he had lined up for Zi'an were traitors? “
“He wants your life?” Yin Xu asked curiously.
Teng Yu looked at him deeply, “Seventh Young Master, you know too much, aren't you afraid that I'll kill you and silence you?”
Why would Yin Xu be afraid of such a verbal threat? Blink said, “Aren't we partners? Of course we should be honest with each other. “
“Is that so?” Teng Yu's mouth curved in a mocking smile, he did not believe the other party's words at all.
He suddenly approached Yin Xu, his bright eyes staring straight into Yin Xu's eyes. After a few breaths of time, he left again, and said indifferently: “If Seventh Young Master can really be honest with me, I can naturally do the same.”
“Didn't the Third Prince send people to investigate my background? “Is there anything else you don't know?”
The information that Han Qing had given him was simply out of the ordinary. It had recorded all of the experiences that Huo Tian had had since he was young, but no matter how he looked at it, it was impossible to link the two of them together.
Whether it was on the outside or inside, he did not believe that the person in the information was Huo Tian at all.
So he was even more certain that Huo Tian was the same person as him, and that they were both people who had hidden their real self in the deepest recesses.
“The emperor doesn't want my life at the moment, but Teng Yi is worried about my little life. Of course, there is also that Imperial Consort Mother of his.”
“Heh, why didn't they make their move earlier? It's a waste of a great opportunity. ” Yin Xu thought: When this guy's wings become tough, anyone who wants to take his life will regret it.
“Do you think they are? All these years, my palace has lost quite a few cats, and without exception, they didn't die from poison. “
“Was it the work of the Imperial Consort?” Only women could think of such petty tricks, but Demon Lord looked down on them.
“Who knows? I don't care who it is. Anyway, it's all on the mother and son.”
Yin Xu mourned for the mother and son for a while, and then said: “I heard that there's a Second Prince in the palace, and he specializes in war. What kind of person is he?”
“Are you interested in him?” Teng Yu asked cautiously.
“Of course, I heard that he is the one who is closest to Huo Family amongst the three princes.”
Teng Yu chuckled upon hearing this, “Of course. He joined the army at the age of twelve, and threw aside his status as a soldier to become a deputy general from a soldier, and furthermore, from Huo Family Army. What do you think?”
“You can do that?” Didn't they say that Huo Family cannot participate in the struggle between princes? “
“At that time, the Second Prince was still young, and there was no need to argue, furthermore, this was something that Teng Ji volunteered to do, my Royal Father was extremely happy, and only hoped to take over Huo Family Army one day.”
Yin Xu could understand what was going on just by thinking about it, but he was really worried about the Venerable One. There were only three sons in total, and all of them wanted to drag him down, to the point that they wanted to kill him.
For a father to do this, it was truly a failure.
“In other words, this Second Prince is not as courageous and scheming as he looks on the surface.”
“The children of the imperial clan have lived in the vats of conspiracy since childhood, and the culprits have long since died.” Teng Yu remembered the innocence he showed when he was young, and shook his head with a wry smile.
It was a miracle he had grown up in peace.
Yin Xu did not like how normal people plotted and schemed, he always respected the strong as their leader, he killed people he disliked and threw away things he disliked, so he was not afraid when plotting against people with absolute strength.
However, he was only a mortal now. What he needed to learn was how to be a qualified mortal!
He glanced at Teng Yu, and thought about his previous suggestion. To be honest, Teng Yu's suggestion was very good. Not only would it allow him to enter the capital naturally, it would also increase his reputation.
Compared to entering the capital as the young master of Huo Family, the title of Third Prince's savior was much easier to accept.
?……
Yin Xu: “Third Prince, how do you plan to repay this Young Master for saving my life?”
Teng Yu said: “That's fake, don't kick your nose to save face!”
Yin Xu: “How could it be fake? Everyone in the world knows what's going on. If you don't believe me, you can grab someone to ask. “
Teng Yu, “… “What are you going to do?”
Yin Xu: “This young master doesn't ask for much, I can just exchange my body with you.”
Teng Yu: “Scram! You should be the one to repay me with your body. “
Yin Xu: “Alright, I have no objections. I will decide happily just like this!”
