Chapter 356 - New Plan (1/2)

Yao Ying could laugh bitterly. How could Lin Jian let him do the choosing? He was also confused at the moment because this matter was too important ah~!

Yao Ying's face started to lit up when he suddenly thought of something and he whispered a new simple plan to handle the two ȧssassins. If they couldn't convince the ȧssassins, they could take the matter into their own hands! Yao Ying smirked inwardly when he knew that the new plan would give a lot of advantages to their own main plan.

They knew that the ȧssassins would be back to their tent, so they shouldn't feel afraid of losing them. If they did his plan, they would kill two birds with one stone.

Hmm... probably three birds... if everything went successful.

Because by doing this new plan, they didn't need to find out about the eunuch's master. On the contrary, the eunuch and his master would be the one who searched for them by themselves.

Thus, they let the three of them went separate ways. They were pretty sure that the ȧssassins were going to go back to their tent. However, they needed to subdue them before they could go back.

Lin Jian laughed in a low voice while patting Yao Ying's shoulder and praised the latter, ”You are really smart!” His eyes were twinkling with happiness. ”It's really a good idea. Although I'm not really sure whether the eunuch's master will find us or not.”

Yao Ying shrugged his shoulders. ”It doesn't really matter anyway... Honestly, it doesn't really concern us in the first place. I mean, the palace struggle inside this palace because this isn't our kingdom. We will get no benefits anyway. Our main points are to do our plan tonight and protect Xiao Fang's father...”

Lin Jian murmured his agreement. ”Indeed...” He said while nodding. Fortunately, Yao Ying was quite clear-headed so he could think of such a good plan in a short time.

They quickly executed their plan, fortunately, Qi Hao had people who had the skills to help them. The two of them were back to their tent and told Ah Man, Yao Ling, and Xiao Fang about everything they had heard and the new plan. Ah Man was surprised and became paler at first when he heard that they targeted his master, however, after they told him Yao Ying's plan, Ah Man was able to sigh in relief and smiled.

Yao Ling asked in a low voice, ”What about the ȧssassins' families?” She still felt pity for the ȧssassins, after all, they didn't really want to do this job.

There were some things that Yao Ying couldn't say to his wife or it would lead into a quarrel, however, Lin Jian was different. He quickly answered on behalf of Yao Ying when he noticed that Yao Ying shouldn't answer this question or it would hurt Yao Ling's feelings.

Lin Jian sighed and answered carefully, ”Yao Ling, I know that you are kindhearted. However, you still need to look at the big picture in every matter. The ȧssassins' families have nothing to do with us --- we don't know them. If you turn this matter the other way around or from another perspective, our family also doesn't matter to those ȧssassins. They are willing to kill Xiao Fang's father for the sake of their families. We can also do the same --- we are just protecting ourselves and our family. It's a bit sad but it's the truth ah~!”

Yao Ling sighed. ”I know...” She answered weakly. She just thought people with power were really selfish and they were able to sacrifice the ordinary people's lives just for the sake of their benefits. This was the reason why sometimes she missed her simple life with Jiu Lan and Yao Ying back at the village. Everything was so calm and peaceful despite she needed to do a lot of hard works by herself.
