Song Yujing was a middle-to-upper ranked hunter. Although he was only 25 years old, he had been lying dormant in the big net woven by Li Mibi for 12 years. He had never made a mistake, so he was able to keep an eye on Xu Beizhi, who was at the top of Zhu Yi's list.
Beimang's territory was vast, but there were only a few hundred hunters and butterfly hunters. If everyone had to keep an eye on him one by one, it would be difficult to make ends meet. It was enough to see how important Xu Beizhi was to Shadow Prime Minister Li Mibi. Song Yujing had kept an eye on this concubine-born son of the Xu family for six years. He was probably the person in the world who was most familiar with Xu Beizhi's habits. After Xu Beizhi reached the age of twenty, he often went out for sightseeing. This time, Song Yujing did not feel anything unusual when he went out with his attendant Wang Mengxi. However, when the shocking news came from Ruoshui Hut, which was codenamed 'Six', Song Yujing felt as if he had been struck by lightning. The King of the Northern Courtyard, Xu Huainan, had been beheaded and decapitated!
The head of Beimang's most powerful official was still missing!
His master, Li Mibi, who had been an official with Xu Huainan for many years, had personally rushed to the source of Ruoshui and was staying in the hut. Song Yujing, as the core person who controlled the secrets of the Beimang dynasty, knew very well that Li Mibi had a good relationship with the king of the northern courtyard, who was a friend of a gentleman. Therefore, in name, he seemed to be closely monitoring the hut, but he only sent out Zhu Yi's top assassin, Yujing, rather than other people who were good at finding clues. Yujing was good at killing people, and naturally was also good at killing people of the same trade. In reality, he was there to protect Xu Huainan from being hit when he was down by the imperial clan. His cavalry force was also under the command of Xu Huainan's former subordinates. It could be said that Xu Huainan's life was quite comfortable after his retirement. With Li Mibi personally watching over him, there was no one else in the palace who could take Xu Huainan's life. Song Yujing had always thought that the only person in the world who could take Xu Huainan's life was the Empress, but Zhu Yi had always been the knife in her sleeve to eliminate dissidents. If it wasn't Zhu Yi, then who could it be? Song Yujing couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he racked his brains, and he didn't dare to think too deeply about it. Along with the enormous secret, there were also several men and women who were not inferior to him in their evaluations. There were three men and two women. Song Yujing was temporarily granted a talisman to mobilize all of the spider web forces in the Aquarius and Golden Toad Prefectures. In addition, he also had the military authority of 1200 cavalry. Song Yujing did not have the excitement of holding great power in his hands. He only trembled with fear.
Xu Huainan's death would affect the whole situation. The collapse of this Beimang's mainstay was destined to stir up the imperial court. In the past, the Xu family had always been supported by Xu Huainan. Most of the descendants were not presentable. Only Xu Beizhi, who had not revealed himself to this day, was the key figure who had the hope of supporting the family. Whether to capture or invite, the master had not clearly stated in the letter. Song Yujing himself had to grasp the severity of his strength. However, Song Yujing soon felt that this mission was tricky. Other than the page boy Wang Mengxi, Xu Beizhi and that scholar with an unfamiliar face had unexpectedly disappeared into thin air. Song Yujing immediately cast a large net to catch the fish. Most of the men were sent to the southern part of Golden Toad Prefecture to search for or intercept them. If the page boy had not continued south instead of turning north, Song Yujing would have been able to save himself a lot of trouble and worry. He only left one person to catch the butterfly girl to follow the page boy. The page boy, who had become a chess piece, went from Aquarius Prefecture to the frontier fortress of Golden Toad Prefecture. He then walked horizontally for several hundred li. In the end, he actually went north. After a short pause, he continued south. After walking for a full ten days, he brought out an inexplicably large circle. During this period, Song Yujing followed the page boy's strange movements and did not dare to lower his guard. He repeatedly established and overturned his own conjectures and changed his orders several times. Not only him, but almost all of the men were exhausted. Occasionally, they met each other, but there was no complaint on their faces. Song Yujing also knew that these fellows who ate people without spitting out the bones would inevitably have countless unspoken criticisms. Among them, there was no lack of people who proposed to kill the page boy directly. Song Yujing ridiculed them in his heart and did not accept the proposal. Before the truth surfaced, Song Yujing did not wish to be on bad terms with Xu Beizhi. A centipede dies but never falls down. Even if the big tree that was the Xu family fell, it would not be something that could happen in one or two years. Especially after Xu Huainan's sudden death, Her Majesty, whose relationship with Xu Huainan was shrouded in mystery, would not have a bone in her throat. Perhaps, she would even reward and comfort the group of vermin in the Xu family.
Song Yujing would never have expected that Xu Beizhi had been following the page boy from a distance. The route was roughly the same, but they both maintained a day's worth of walking. Xu Beizhi put on the curly-bearded man's mask from Hsu Fengnian's hand. Hsu Fengnian also changed his mask. He no longer carried the book box on his back. Instead, he changed his traveling bag and let Xu Beizhi, who looked like a servant, carry it on his back. The two of them were eating in a small tavern in the Golden Toad Prefecture that day. When Xu Beizhi first heard that Xu Beizhi wanted to use the page boy as bait, although he did not refuse, he already looked down on him. However, along the way, Xu Beizhi saw him communicating with a red-robed demon using strange hand gestures several times in the wilderness. Only then did Xu Beizhi thoroughly re-evaluate this future King of Beiliang who dared to go alone to Beimang.
