Chapter 759

~4 min read 761 words

Outskirts of Jin Ling City.

Zhangsun Wuji arrived at a quiet, ancient temple.

The steps of the ancient temple were covered in moss, and it looked like no one had been there for a long time.

Zhangsun Wuji stepped onto the stairs, just reached the entrance, and hadn't knocked on the door yet.

The closed wooden door creaked open.

There was no one inside the door.

Zhangsun Wuji was not surprised and felt no fear at all. He had all his subordinates and guards stay outside the temple.

He walked in all by himself.

In the main hall of the temple sat an old monk, who paid no attention to Zhangsun Wuji.

Zhangsun Wuji also ignored him and walked straight through the main hall into the backyard.

In the backyard, there was a table and a lounge chair.

A man in his thirties, in the prime of his life, was lying comfortably on the lounge chair, rocking back and forth slowly.

"Brother Yin, what high spirits!"

This person had a sinister face, and when he laughed, it sounded like a night owl, with a somewhat chilling tone.

"Lord Zhangsun, you've come to find me again; is there something the matter?"

This person was named Yin Hongzhi, who had previously approached Zhangsun Wuji, asking him to help with a task.

But at the time, Zhangsun Wuji had refused him.

So now he was being somewhat sarcastic.

Zhangsun Wuji didn't care and found a chair to sit down.

"Brother Yin, there's a big deal; are you interested?"

Yin Hongzhi sneered.

He seemed very dismissive of Zhangsun Wuji's words.

"What kind of deal could be bigger than rebellion? You didn't agree to such a big deal before; what deal could possibly catch the eye of Lord Zhangsun now?" Zhangsun Wuji didn't care at all about the sarcasm in Yin Hongzhi's words.

He raised his hand to touch the jade thumb ring on his finger.

"Brother Yin, don't forget, what was your purpose in rebelling?"

This question stunned Yin Hongzhi, and then his face began to twist.

He said through gritted teeth.

"Don't provoke me. Don't you know my situation clearly? It's just you who have always believed that your glory and wealth lie with Li Er, and you are unwilling to help me."

Zhangsun Wuji came to find Yin Hongzhi today precisely to utilize his hatred for Li Er.

Yin Hongzhi's father killed Li Er's younger brother.

Afterward, Li Yuan had the entire Yin family executed.

Originally, Yin Hongzhi shouldn't have escaped either.

But he had a good sister, who was very beautiful and gentle, and she captivated Li Er at once.

Because his sister agreed to enter the palace as a consort, Yin Hongzhi's life was spared.

Yin Hongzhi hated Li Yuan and his son Li Er to the bone!

The only goal of his life was to kill Li Er and Li Yuan to avenge the Yin family!

Zhangsun Wuji knew that Yin Hongzhi had been operating for many years and had some strength in his hands.

So he threw a piece of news at him.

"The Emperor has traveled incognito to Great Qin. This journey is your best opportunity!

It just depends on whether you want to do it or not."

Yin Hongzhi sat up straight at once.

"Is it true?"

"It couldn't be truer!"

Zhangsun Wuji knew that Yin Hongzhi would definitely be moved by this news.

Yin Hongzhi said skeptically.

"Why would you suddenly take action against Li Er? Don't you want your glory and wealth anymore?" Zhangsun Wuji burst into loud laughter.

"Great Tang is no longer what it used to be. I can no longer hold power over the world; instead, my life is in danger. Everything I do now is just to save my own life."

Yin Hongzhi could not understand Zhangsun Wuji's predicament, nor did he want to.

As long as his goal could be achieved, that was enough.

"Give me accurate information, and I will send people to take action."

Zhangsun Wuji was not yet certain and asked one more question.

"How many men do you have, and what is their strength? If you aren't too sure, don't take action, so as not to alert the enemy."

Yin Hongzhi did not want to tell Zhangsun Wuji.

The two of them could not be said to have any friendship.

It was just that they had a common interest at the moment.

Secrets could not be shared; everyone had to guard against the other.

Seeing that Yin Hongzhi refused to say, Zhangsun Wuji nodded and said.
