The first floor of the villa was dark.
On the second floor of the villa, there was only a faint light burning in a window.
And the third floor was also dark.
That was to say, in the entire villa, only the second floor was occupied!
This was the situation that Xiao Zheng determined during his lurking. So when he successfully ran to the safe area. He quickly made a decision. He entered the first floor through the window. Then went straight to the second floor from the stairs.
As long as everything went well, he could reach the door in a minute.
However, what could he do after he reached the door?
Rush in?
That was impossible. Rushing in would expose his whereabouts. And if he didn't go in, how could he know the situation inside?
In this minute, Xiao Zheng's brain was spinning fast, thinking about the next step.
Finally, when he ran to the corridor and approached the door against the wall. He was surprised to find that all his worries were superfluous.
The door wasn't locked tightly. Perhaps this villa was in the heavily guarded Imperial Palace. In addition, the guards outside the villa were also quite cautious. It could be said that there was a sentry every few steps, so the people inside the villa were not very vigilant.
After all, how many people could pass through the layers of guards to get to the door?
They could really do it. Even this door couldn't stop them, right?
Xiao Zheng quickly approached the door, his back pressed against the wall as he listened attentively.
Xiao Zheng's Japanese could barely communicate, so he had no difficulty listening. But he leaned against the wall and listened for less than thirty seconds before he was shocked by the conversation in the room …
…
In the room.
The light was weak, but there were three men sitting.
One of them had drooping eyebrows, and his body was shrouded in a black robe. It was difficult to judge his age just by looking at his face. However, his pair of turbid and blurry eyes were lingering with a light that no one could see through.
From the beginning to the end, he just sat on a single sofa, like an old monk meditating without saying a word.
And the middle-aged man sitting on his left was holding a cup of tea and sipping it slowly. His eyes were sharp, with a faint cold light. Even if the person sitting opposite him was Crown Prince Tianxiong!
"Master Yidao."
Crown Prince Tian Xiong, who was supposed to be dealing with the funeral affairs, sat across the two of them and looked at the old man respectfully. With a solemn expression, he said, "Father has passed away. The Imperial Palace is ready to make a move. However, controlling them is as difficult as ascending to the heavens … "
The old man called Master Yidao didn't look up. Instead, it was the middle-aged man sitting next to him who said, "Crown Prince. My father's mission has been accomplished. And this villa will also belong to you in the near future. My father really doesn't have the heart to care about the matters of the palace. "
These words revealed a lot of information.
First of all, this Master Yi Dao should have a close relationship with the Mikado. Secondly, the Emperor had passed away. Master Yidao completed his mission. There was no need to continue to do anything to remedy the situation. Finally, this villa would soon belong to the Crown Prince and would no longer be the residence of Master Yidao!
When Crown Prince Tian Xiong heard this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. But it was quickly covered up. He only sighed softly and slowly said, "Great Master. I know you are thinking of retreating. However, my father's body hasn't even turned cold yet. Do you really want to see the internal strife of the Imperial Palace? This is also because of your many years of hard work and management! "
The middle-aged man shook his head lightly, "Crown Prince. My father has made up his mind. He really doesn't want to participate in the Imperial Palace's battle anymore. Also, you know … "After a pause, the middle-aged man changed the topic. He said slowly. "All these years. The Mikado has been seriously ill. My father has done his best. Do you really want my father to die? "
When Crown Prince Tian Xiong heard this, he saw the man's face clearly. He knew that if he didn't take out practical benefits, it would be hard to persuade Master Yidao. However, in order to obtain the support of this Mikado expert. Even …
Crown Prince Tian Xiong was willing to pay a certain price.
Once he ascended the throne, he could take back everything he lost!
"Great Master Yidao." Crown Prince Tian Xiong said word by word. "I know that your family has always been bullied by Itō. All these years, there has never been a chance to stand up. "
From beginning to end, Master Yidao didn't make a sound. He just sat there quietly with his eyes looking at his nose and his nose looking at his heart. Instead, it was his son, the middle-aged man, who was negotiating with Crown Prince Tian Xiong. Fighting for enough benefits …
"This is a family matter. We will handle it ourselves. "The middle-aged man smiled. It was as if he was impervious to everything.
As for why he was acting like this, Crown Prince Tian Xiong was very clear!
This Helan wanted to fight for enough benefits!
One should know that Master Yidao was his father's personal expert. His closest friend. His position in the Imperial Palace was quite prominent. And everything he had was because of the existence of the Mikado.
Now, the Mikado had passed away. How could the successor allow this old name to remain in the Imperial Palace?
No matter who ascended the throne, the first person they would make a move on would definitely be him!
This was what Hua Xia was used to. A new emperor brings a new court!
Since that was the case, why would Master Yidao easily help Crown Prince Tian Xiong who could uproot him at any time?
Before leaving the Imperial Palace, he must bite off a piece of meat! Whoever begged him, he would bite them!
Of course, this was only a theoretical possibility.
In fact, the only one he could help and dared to help was Crown Prince Tian Xiong!
Because Crown Prince Tian Xiong was the most legitimate one! And all the benefits of Master Yidao's family came from the Imperial Palace.
He couldn't be like those high-ranking government officials who could get away easily even if their supporters lost. It wouldn't hurt their foundation. Master Yidao didn't have this ability. So he didn't dare to support anyone other than Crown Prince Tian Xiong.
Because if he lost the bet, he would lose everything!
"It's not exactly a family matter, right?" Crown Prince Tian Xiong's eyes darkened. Since the other party didn't care about old relationships and only cared about benefits. He didn't need to continue pretending. He said calmly. "Although Itō is dead. However, his subordinates were still managing his business very well. I believe the two of you know that many of Itō's businesses are related to the royal family. There is a deep transfer of benefits. If no one helps the two of you out. I believe such a situation will continue. "
After a pause, Crown Prince Tian Xiong stared straight at Helan, pursed his lips and said, "Mr. Helan. Do you think that with just your family's power, you have the confidence to compete with the entire royal family and not be at a disadvantage? "
Crown Prince Tian Xiong had stepped on his sore spot. Helan's face turned slightly ugly.
What Crown Prince Tian Xiong said was the truth.
Without Crown Prince Tian Xiong's support, he really couldn't rely on his own power. To compete with the entire royal family.
"Mr. Helan. Why don't we discuss it further? Discuss a win-win situation? "Crown Prince Tian Xiong said calmly. It was a complete showdown.
