People Found Out About The Base I Built On the Moon Chapter 942: Chapter 115: Duel_3

Chapter 942: Chapter 115: Duel_3

This made him somewhat uncomfortable.

After a moment, a.s.sistant Xiao w.a.n.g finally said, “I have an appointment to listen to music at Bihong Tower today, so I won’t argue with you for now. Let’s go…”

After speaking, a.s.sistant Xiao w.a.n.g hurriedly left with a group of people.

Zhau Yu also let out a sigh of relief.

The servants nearby got up and led Zhao Yu towards the side yard.

It was only when he reached the side yard that Zhao Yu understood what this place was.

It turned out to be where the servants and maids lived, which some people indeed saw as a form of insult.

But from Zhao Yu’s point of view, a room of a hundred square meters, plus a yard where no one bothered him, was pretty decent.

And so, he temporarily lived within the Prince’s mansion.

That night, Zhao Yu was sleeping soundly when he suddenly sensed something off and sat up abruptly, exclaiming.

“Am I handsome?”

“Huh?!”

The a.s.sa.s.sin who had sneaked into the room in black clothes was stunned for a moment, and the next second, he flipped onto the floor.

“Who sent you?!” Zhao Yu asked, still shaken.

“Liu Xin!”

“What for?!”

“To kill you!”

“Why does he want to kill me?”

“I don’t know!”

Looking at the already subdued a.s.sa.s.sin before him, Zhao Yu’s brows furrowed.

The person in black clothes was wearing servant’s attire beneath his garment, which meant he had been lurking in the Prince’s mansion for quite some time.

And in terms of strength, he was merely Tier 1, but a Tier 1 strength was sufficient to deal with some ordinary lords and ladies.

Yet, what he hadn’t expected was that such a person would be used to kill him.

Early the next morning, Zhao Yu called over the servant supervisor who had brought him here the day before and shared the a.s.sa.s.sination attempt he had undergone.

“Are you okay?!” The servant supervisor asked in shock.

“Could I still call you over if something was wrong with me?!”

Zhao Yu, exasperated, continued, “Your Prince’s mansion is easy to enter, how did you let this kind of person sneak in?!”

“He is…”

The servant supervisor, seeing the a.s.sa.s.sin’s face, was horrified, “My lord, please spare my life…”

“He’s my nephew…”

“Your nephew?!”

Zhao Yu paused for a moment, then furrowed his brows and asked, “Tell me about the situation with your Prince’s mansion servants and maids…”

The servant supervisor, already out of sorts, started to explain everything.

Hearing his description, Zhao Yu’s brows furrowed even more.

The servants of the Prince’s mansion were all hereditary, with many being generations of workers for the Prince’s mansion.

One could say that each person was thoroughly vetted.

Yet now, a servant supervisor had been subverted.

“My lord, can you remove the spell and let me question him personally?”

The servant supervisor pointed towards the man in black clothes.

“Snap!”

Zhao Yu snapped his fingers, and the next second, the man in black clothes woke up.

“Where am I…”

“Slap!~”

The next second, a slap landed on his face.

“Who is it?!”

The man in black instantly pulled out a dagger, then froze.

“Uncle?!”

“You beast, kneel down!” the servant supervisor roared.

The man in black reflexively knelt down, then saw Zhao Yu beside him and realized where he was.

Suddenly remembering that he had come to a.s.sa.s.sinate Zhao Yu the previous night and had slept until now, it went without saying that the a.s.sa.s.sination had failed and he had been captured.

“Uncle…”

After forcefully hitting the man in black several times, the servant supervisor finally spoke, “Tell me, why did you betray the Prince’s mansion, why betray me?”

“I…”

The man in black seemed hesitant and reluctant to speak.

“Uncle, I swear to you, I did this for the family, so that we all could survive…”

“You scoundrel, you really disgrace our ancestors…”

Zhao Yu interrupted the servant supervisor’s scolding and turned to look at the man in black, saying, “Tell me, why did you betray the family, why help Liu Xin to a.s.sa.s.sinate me?”

“With your status, Liu Xin isn’t someone who could subvert you, right?”

The man in black was still hesitant while his uncle was furiously scolding him, urging him to tell the truth.

Seeing the situation as it was, the man in black had no choice but to tell all.

“I am not a subordinate of Liu Xin…”

“I am…”

After hesitating for a long time, the man in black slowly said, “I am serving His Majesty, the king…”

“What?!”

The servant supervisor stood there stunned.

Yet a look of ‘I knew it’ appeared on Zhao Yu’s face.

“In our Prince’s mansion, one-third of the maids and servants are ordered by His Majesty…”

“To obey orders and survive, to preserve the family after the demise of the Prince’s mansion…”

“What?!”

The servant supervisor was shocked, “What demise of the Prince’s mansion, don’t talk nonsense…”

The man in black shook his head, “That’s what they told us…”

“Otherwise, why would I betray the Prince’s mansion?”

“If the king wants the Prince’s mansion gone, we either die with the Prince’s mansion or follow the king and ultimately save our family…”

The man in black sighed deeply, “I originally didn’t know much, but Liu Xin is a boisterous person…”

“From his mouth, I generally understood that the person likely responsible for destroying the Prince’s mansion is Liu Xin’s father…”

The servant supervisor was stunned, “Then why would the king betroth a princess to him?”

“Exactly!”

The man in black nodded, “According to Liu Xin, after his father destroyed the Prince’s mansion, only Yu Kexin was deliberately left behind, and of course, arrangements would be made for Yu Kexin to leave on the day of the destruction…”

“In the end, his and Yu Kexin’s son would become the new Prince…”
