Chapter 465 I Did It On Purpose
"Who did you say has arrived?" Lin Wanrong felt momentarily dizzy. "This can't be a coincidence. How did Old Xu's agents carry out their work? They were supposed to be watching others, but it seems they've been watched instead."
Xu Wei was equally shocked. "Prince Cheng is here? How is that possible? He couldn't possibly know we're here. Gao Qiu, calm down and speak slowly."
Gao Qiu swallowed hard, visibly deflated. "I don't know what's happening. The gates of Prince Cheng's mansion suddenly opened, and the prince led dozens of people straight toward us. Our perimeter guards just sent word. He and his men are already at the entrance of the alley, practically here."
"He really came?" Xu Wei stroked his beard, pondering for a while before looking at Lin Wanrong. "Little brother Lin, what do you suggest we do?"
Old Xu was cunning, passing the hot potato to him at a crucial moment. Lin Wanrong was visibly displeased. He chuckled, "Brother Gao, are you certain that Prince Cheng has brought only dozens of people?"
Gao Qiu nodded repeatedly. "Absolutely certain. The alley is narrow; even a hundred people would have to queue to enter. Bringing more men would be pointless."
"I see," Lin Wanrong nodded, then asked, "One more question, Brother Gao. How many eyes do we have around the mansion?"
"Not a hundred, at least eighty. They are skilled men from the palace. If things turn ugly, we won't be at a disadvantage," Gao Qiu answered confidently. He was the captain of the palace's inner guards; he knew his men well.
