Chapter 287: The Loss Outweighs the Gains

“Your Highness, why don’t you rope him indirectly?”
“The King of Japan tried to probe, but he rejected.”
The Gong Prince took a deep breath, “This man is a simple-minded person who doesn’t know how to adapt.”
“I want to train him well. If I can use him, he will become a good asset..”
How many people in this world could single-handedly kill a tiger?
This required not only strength but also cleverness and calmness in stressful situations.
In addition, he had not been idle for the past year.
He worked hard to read and practice martial arts to strengthen himself.
That day when he first saw the notable man, he still looked a little dull, but he could sense his reserved aura.
He would only feel at ease if he could hold on to such a person.
But if he entered the capital and joined the Emperor instead…
The Gong Prince let out a deep breath.
As long as Heng Yi stood out, he would be the biggest obstacle on his way to the top.
He felt that if Heng Yi was given enough time to mature his strength and abilities, he would become a powerful general.
If he couldn’t get such a person to his side…
He had to destroy him before he could grow.
“Your Highness is worrying too much.”
The Gong Prince glanced at his advisor and called out his two secret guards.
“Go to Heng Manor and assassinate Heng Yi.”
“If you miss, retreat immediately.”
“Yes.”
It was late at night.
Han Qiao slept on the inner side of the bed, while Ah-Yao slept next to her.
Heng Yi slept on the outermost bed. He didn’t sleep much, and there was enough space for one person to lie between him and Ah-Yao. He didn’t dare to sleep too deep, for fear that he would roll over the child.
When he heard a slight noise, the sleeping man instantly opened his eyes.
He sat up and pushed Han Qiao.
“Hmm?”
“Shh…”
Han Qiao, who had been in a daze, instantly woke up.
By the time she regained her senses, Heng Yi had already opened the door with his sword and was fighting with two men in black who had just landed in their yard.
In a one-on-two battle, Heng Yi was not at a disadvantage one bit. In fact, he had the upper hand and could give the two assassins a fatal blow at any time.
Hearing that someone was approaching, the two assassins threw down smoke grenades and fled.
“Big Brother!”
Bai Cha ran with his sword.
“There’s no need to chase after them. I know whose people they are.”
Bai Cha was stunned.
Heng Yi walked into the room with his big sword.
Whenever he walked through the forest to hunt, he could deduce which direction the most prey was from the various auras in the wind.
Naturally, he could also tell who these two assassins were from their auras.
Earlier that day, when he accompanied Elan Qiao to the Gong Prince’s residence…
When the Gong Prince approached him, the person beside him had the same aura.
It was very faint, but he could still sense it.
“Whose people?”
“The Gong Prince.”
Bai Cha fell silent.
Han Qiao, who had put on her clothes and let her hair down, stopped in her tracks when she heard that.
“What does the Gong Prince want from this?”
They could not figure it out.
If they wanted to kill Heng Yi, why did they only send two people?
At least 40 to 50 people were needed to hit the target in one shot.
“Is it to test you? But why?” Han Qiao murmured.
Bai Cha and Heng Yi didn’t understand either.
However, compared to the other two, Heng Yi was much calmer. “We’ll see when 1 get to the government office tomorrow.”
Even if he spent the whole night trying to figure it out, he wouldn’t be able to figure it out.
“It’s best to rest early.”
Bai Cha stood up and left.
When he out of the main courtyard he noticed Jianing leaving with her scimitar. Bai Cha called out to her, “Jianing?”
Jianing stopped in her tracks and looked at Bai Cha with a frown, “What’s the matter?”
“Nothing.”
“If there’s nothing else, I’m going back to sleep,” Jianing said impatiently before striding away.
Bai Cha watched Jianing’s back and chuckled.
What an arrogant girl.
However, she had the right to be arrogant.
After all, Jianing’s martial arts skills weren’t bad.
Han Qiao was not close enough to experience the assassination attempt, and quickly fell asleep.
She reached out and gently patted Ah-Yao, who had eaten and drank enough to sleep quietly.
She then said to Heng Yi, “The Gong Prince is not a good master.”
If it was just a simple probe, it would be meaningless to send someone to assassinate him.
“I understand. 1 won’t rely on him.”
The Gong Prince probably never dreamed that he would send someone to assassinate Heng Yi just to prove to his aides that he was capable.
The next morning, Heng Yi woke up early to practice boxing in the yard, wash up, and eat breakfast.
Before he left, he went to the bedroom to kiss his wife and son.
Han Qiao slowly got up, and with dark circles under her eyes, she helped Heng Yi tidy his clothes.
Heng Yi’s heart ached.
“Don’t do anything today. Sleep well later.”
His heart ached as he rubbed Han Qiao’s hair.
“Yes, yes.” Han Qiao replied listlessly.
“You too. Work hard in the government office. If they want you to treat them, don’t be stingy. Take them to the fast food restaurant and send someone back to inform their families”
“Drink less.”
“Be careful.”
Han Qiao said as she tiptoed and kissed Heng Yi.
Heng Yi’s heart softened. He hugged Han Qiao and kissed her a few more times. Seeing her eyes filled with confusion, his heart softened even more.
He carried her to sit by the bed, “Eat something before you sleep. I’m leaving.”
He was afraid that he would not be able to leave if he did not go now.
He couldn’t be late on his first day on duty.
Heng Yi took a carriage to the government office. When he arrived, the runner at the gate recognized him at a glance and called out to greet him warmly, “Morning, Constable Heng!”
“Morning.”
After Heng Yi entered the office, someone immediately took him to report.
He also took the constable’s uniform for him.
The person who led the way was very polite and asked him if he had any plans to follow any constable.
“1 don’t even recognize anybody. Aren’t these usually arranged by the higher-ups?”
“Your wishes are also very important. Each constable has different personalities, if you follow the wrong person, you will suffer greatly,”
Heng Yi instantly understood that this was one of the constables ‘men.
He looked hesitant and pulled the person to ask softly, “What are the personalities of the constables?”
“Constable Wu is forthright and never covets the credit of his subordinates. Constable Zheng is skilled in martial arts and never stingy with teaching his subordinates. Constable Chen is sharp and has an excellent ability to solve cases. Constable Ma… His wife’s younger sister is the magistrate’s concubine and is very doted on, but he’s very…”
Therefore, Heng Yi had to choose two from the other three.
These three definitely did not have the same master.
“I’ll listen to the higher-ups’ arrangements when the time comes.”
“Then you must ask God to bless you and not give you to Constable Ma.
Because he has no ability to do his responsibilities and is the most greedy. He will even force his subordinates to show him respect.”
“Then if 1 want to choose another constable, do 1 have to pay some money?”
“Of course. Ten taels.”
Heng Yi looked at the bailiff leading the way.
He wasn’t sure who he wanted him to choose.
“Silver is a small matter.” Heng Yi said.
“Then 1 suggest you choose Constable Wu or Constable Zheng. Both of them are very good at martial arts, and Constable Zheng is more powerful.”
Heng Yi thought for a moment, “1 might choose Constable Zheng.”
“Why?”
“His martial arts skills are very strong. I want to learn martial arts from him.”
These were Heng Yi’s sincere words.
Of course, no matter who Constable Zheng was, it was common knowledge that he wanted to learn martial arts.
“Constable Heng, you’ll have to protect your fellow brothers in the future.”
However, how much money it costs, Heng Yi could pay for it.
The constables would argue to pull Heng Yi to their sides. They won’t stop even if their faces turn red..
