The God of Death

THE HIDDEN PLANS

Passing from noon, the fourth prince's carriage arrived in front of the gate of Li's residence.

After the guards reported to Mr. Li, the three carriages were allowed to pass through the gate and enter the courtyard of the residence.

Mr. Li and his family went straight to the courtyard to greet the messenger.They were surprised to see three carriages entering the courtyard.

The butler Yun and Huanran got down from the carriage.Seeing who came was the butler of the fourth prince's palace, the Li family immediately greeted them.

In his heart, master Li wondered about the purpose of Yun's butler's arrival, as well as Huanran who was known to be Xuangqi's concubine's servant.

"I came to deliver the marriage decree between the noble prince to the fourth and the young miss of Li's residence." butler Yun immediately said the purpose of his arrival.

The Li family who heard that could only look at each other.They simultaneously looked at Shuwan.

"Miss Li please accept the decree!" butler Yun was astonished to see Shuwan standing there.

"Kneel down to accept the decree." Madam Li who was standing next to the girl whispered.

"Huh?" Shuwan did not understand the meaning of the mother's words.

"Kneeling to accept the decree" mistress Li repeated her remark.Although puzzled by it, Shuwan obeyed her mother's order to kneel and stretched out his hand to accept the decree.

"The wedding will take place the day after tomorrow.This is the dowry for Miss Li's wedding, and these are the clothes and jewelry to wear on the day of the wedding."

The butler Yun handed over the box which contained his bridal attire and jewelry.

They had indeed received an emissary from the fourth prince's palace who reported that the prince had given a proposal and approved the marriage.

"Let's stuff down!" the butler Yun ordered the guards, and immediately dropped off the items from the two carriages.

The entire Li family members were astonished to see the items being lowered from the carriage. Very many and are the items with the best quality.

After finishing unloading all the items from the two carriages, the butler Yun and the entourage immediately returned to the fourth prince's palace.

After the departure of the palace envoy, Shuwan was still standing in his place since then.

"Dad, why is the wedding so fast?I think it will be done next year" he told the father with a clear face.

"What's next year?Why delay so long?" master Li was even astonished by his adopted daughter.

Shuwan did not refuse when the parents talked about the proposal and the marriage, because he suspected it was a long-term plan.

But what he thought was not like reality.It was not a long-term plan, but a very lightning plan.

Only three days from the time the prince decided he was going to get married.

****

The news of the fourth prince's marriage with the lady of the Li family that was to be carried out the day after tomorrow had spread throughout the capital.

In his palace, the second prince who heard the news, clenched his hands tightly until his veins stood out.

The girl openly rejected him in public and did not give him the slightest face.

But now, the girl was about to marry the fourth prince who was her sister.

"Have they been in a relationship before without thinking about it again the girl immediately refused to be my concubine?" ask him to yourself.

Suddenly a desire arose in his heart to make the couple suffer.Especially the girl who had humiliated him.

A devious plan flashed through his head.He smiled viciously as he imagined the plan to come true.

"We will see, will the cold, cruel man still accept and marry you when your honey has been sucked by another beetle?The man without a heart might just be beheading you" he said with confidence.

He knew very well what the fourth son of the emperor who was also his younger brother was like.

Elsewhere, in a hut far from the city center and in a very remote place, a man wearing luxurious clothes was talking to some men dressed in all black.

"Your Majesty, please forgive us.Our group has failed several times to carry out their duties and they disappear like swallowed by the earth. None of them came back."

Seemed an enormous anger from the man in plush clothes.The sharp look he gave at the man who had just spoken.

"Why can it fail?" ask the guy sharply. "Your ambush against young master Li in the forest is failing miserably."

"Not only did the two young masters of Li return to the capital safe, our men who were sent to kill them were none returned."

"So did the attack that was made to the Li residence.Not only did it fail to finish them off, we lost two hundred people, even our two best people Yun Che and Yun Li."

"What made them fail?Noble Li was not a noble family that had strong defenses, and was not a martial expert."

"Why can we lose so many people?You really don't deserve to be called the number one hit man in this Hanshui country. Disappointing!!" the anger of the luxurious dressed man peaked.

The man clenched his hands tightly. The group sent by his grandfather's sister-in-law also failed to get rid of the Wang family. He said the best people were sent.

"Your highness, the day of the fourth prince's wedding with the daughter of the Li family. Are we going to act?" the man who had been talking since then named Chu Kong spoke again.

"Send the elites of the group of black roses.I want their wedding day to turn into a day of death for all of them!" the man's orders were cold.

He knew, the fourth prince who was the king of war was not a person to easily deal with. At least they were able to get rid of the other targets, namely the Li and Wang families.

"The group that grandfather sent failed and no one came back.They definitely won't be rash to send people again in a long time.I have to move myself this time."

the man murmured in his heart.

Plans that have been arranged neatly and carefully, should not fail or stop in the middle of the road.

If the way this time, by sending assassins to get rid of one by one the emperor's supporters continue to fail, then open war is not impossible.

To achieve his goal, he had to remove one obstacle at a time from his path.And the greatest obstacle in his plan was the king of war himself.

"Mother, I will go to the fourth prince's palace." said Li Minghao to the mother.

The man went hand in hand with his cousin who always clung to him like Siamese twins, Li Jingmi.

Madam Li frowned at the words of her son.

"Why did you go to the fourth prince's palace?Want to help prepare for the wedding?It's busy here too, help us here." asked Ms. Li.

"Not ma'am.We want to see Xuemin and accompany her.She must be sad because the girl of her dreams will marry her own cousin."

Madam Li squinted at the two young masters of the Li family.She looked suspiciously at Li Jingmi whose face was beaming ever since.

"Do you want to strengthen it or stick to it?" madam Li asked suspiciously.

"Where is it like that.Mother, Xuemin is my best friend since childhood.Now he must be sad because of this incident.I just want to accompany him when he is sad." Li Minghao refuted his mother's words quickly.

"Not you, but him." show Ms. Li to her niece, Li Jingmi.

"Why with my aunt?" she asked for a clean face, Li glared at her niece, who was still smiling to herself.

"I was just imagining Xuemin's current condition.Is she crying or running amok?I want to see her soon."

He said quickly as he ran before the aunt's anger exploded.
