I Can Strengthen Infinitely

Chapter 545: Chapter 313: Immortals Above, Mortals Below (Part 4)

However, the probability of encountering a Grandmaster is extremely slim, and An Dianlian was not quite willing to believe that their luck would be so unfortunate.

"The Nine-thousand-year-old’s temper has been getting more and more irritable lately. If we don’t bring back the Ninth Princess soon, I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep my life." An Dianlian’s expression was extremely serious, so gloomy it seemed like water could drip from it.

At that moment, a voice from a young eunuch suddenly came from outside the room.

"Eunuch An, General Yuwen has returned."

An Dianlian remembered that he had previously dispatched Yuwen Sanzui to Jiangnan to hunt down the person who would carry the dragon vein. Now that he has returned, he must have completed the task.

"Let him come in," An Dianlian said.

Soon, Yuwen Sanzui walked in from outside.

"Greetings, Eunuch An."

"Have you killed all the carriers?" An Dianlian asked.

"I killed three, but the remaining ones all have masters beside them for protection, so I couldn’t make a move."

An Dianlian no longer cared about those carriers now. Once the Nine-thousand-year-old gets angry, all of the Ten Attendants would die, so who would have the heart to care about those who might overturn the Great Tang?

Let it be overturned, preserving one’s own life is what matters.

"I have one more thing to entrust to you," An Dianlian said in a low voice.

Yuwen Sanzui had never seen An Dianlian like this before, and felt puzzled: "Please speak, Eunuch."

"You can use all the forces within the palace, go to Jiangnan ahead of me to look for someone."

"Who?"

An Dianlian took out a scroll from his robe and handed it to Yuwen Sanzui.

He took it and opened it, his expression instantly changed.

The Ninth Princess!

Yuwen Sanzui had always worked in the palace, so he naturally recognized Ah Jiu’s appearance.

Previously, after the Crown Prince’s mysterious disappearance following his death, everyone said that his first bodyguard had sent Ah Jiu out of the palace to prevent anyone from harming her.

Now, An Dianlian is sending him to Jiangnan to find Ah Jiu, could it be...

Yuwen Sanzui, who always had squinted eyes, opened them slightly for once.

"Eunuch, Jiangnan is so vast, I’m afraid it’s hard for me to find her."

"Which is why I’m giving you the power to mobilize the entire palace forces, including the Hidden Guard," An Dianlian said, gritting his teeth, word by word.

"The Hidden Guard!" Yuwen Sanzui was startled.

Few people knew about the existence of the Hidden Guard, and Yuwen Sanzui happened to be one of them.

The Hidden Guard could be considered the most elite non-military unit of the entire Great Tang.

They could be assassins, they could be farmers, but they were active in various trades among the populace.

This unit could only typically be mobilized by the emperor and the Ten Attendants, and Yuwen Sanzui never imagined An Dianlian would grant him the authority.

This showed just how urgent the matter that was worrying An Dianlian truly was.

"Understood," Yuwen Sanzui immediately replied.

"You head to Jiangnan first, I’ll follow shortly. As soon as you find any information regarding the Ninth Princess, investigate thoroughly, do not overlook any clue." An Dianlian handed a black token to Yuwen Sanzui.

The token was in the shape of an axe blade, with the character ’Moon’ engraved on the front.

"Understood," Yuwen Sanzui took the token and immediately turned and left the room.

He knew this token was the symbol for mobilizing the Hidden Guard.

At this point, An Dianlian could no longer calmly wait in Chang’an; that would be slow suicide. He had to act proactively, and strive to capture Ah Jiu as soon as possible.

Otherwise, he would eventually die at the hands of the Nine-thousand-year-old.

"Ninth Princess, just what are you hiding on you, that makes the Nine-thousand-year-old care so much?" An Dianlian picked up a piece of jade and muttered to himself in puzzlement.
