“I have a question for you now!”
Jiang Yi looked at Menasha.
“What question?”
Menasha asked.
“You told me before that the captain of the guard was captured by Prince Matthew while on a mission. I want to know, what mission was the captain of the guard on?”
Jiang Yi said.
“That’s a royal secret, I can’t tell you!”
Menasha directly refused to answer the question.
“I must know today, otherwise, I will have my people abandon saving the captain of the guard!”
“I don’t want to be used as a pawn for no reason!”
Jiang Yi said.
Hearing this, Menasha’s face immediately sank.
She hadn’t expected Jiang Yi to play this card against her.
She also hadn’t expected Jiang Yi to threaten her.
“I said, it’s a royal secret!”
Menasha said coldly.
“It seems you don’t want to say. Fine, then I’ll call my people now and tell them to cancel the operation!”
Jiang Yi said, pulling out his phone.
Seeing that Jiang Yi was not joking, Menasha’s expression immediately became complicated.
The matter of saving the captain of the guard could not be delayed any longer, otherwise, there would be no chance later!
Menasha had no manpower in Simon State, only the one-eyed bodyguard was usable. She could only rely on Jiang Yi now.
After a long hesitation, Menasha finally revealed the mission the captain of the guard was on to Jiang Yi.
It turned out that the captain of the guard was a person extremely loyal to the King. He saw Prince Matthew playing with power, completely disregarding the King’s authority. Therefore, he secretly planned a murder, attempting to kill Prince Matthew. Sultan Novel Network
He ended up killing the wrong person, killing Prince Matthew’s own son. While escaping, the captain of the guard was captured by Prince Matthew’s men!
Prince Matthew wanted to use this incident to force the King to abdicate.
Although the captain of the guard stubbornly refused to admit any connection to the King, he was the King’s captain of the guard, and everyone knew that the captain of the guard was only loyal to the King.
Jiang Yi sneered. He didn’t expect the infighting in Eagle Country to be so intense.
“Since that’s the case, why not just kill the captain of the guard? Killing him is easier than saving him.”
Jiang Yi said to Menasha, “Killing him to silence him should be a common method for your royal family.”
Jiang Yi’s words were laced with mockery.
“Don’t mock me. Royal struggles are like this!”
“As for killing the captain of the guard, that cannot be done. The captain of the guard planned to kill Prince Matthew for the King. If the captain of the guard is killed, it will chill the hearts of those who follow the King, and in the end, it will only completely lose popular support!”
Menasha said.
Jiang Yi smiled without speaking.
If it weren’t for the royal family fearing the loss of public support, they would have likely silenced him long ago. Jiang Yi could clearly see how despicable their methods were.
“If you succeed in rescuing the captain of the guard today, I will immediately report your contribution, and your knighthood will be a done deal!”
“But if you fail! You should be very clear about the severe consequences. This matter concerns the safety of the royal family. Not only will you die, but your subordinates and family will also surely die!”
Menasha said gravely.
Jiang Yi showed no worry, because Jiang Yi would not do anything he was not confident about. Saving the captain of the guard was bound to succeed.
Moreover, for Jiang Yi, even failure would not matter!
It would not be so easy for the royal family to deal with him because of this matter.
“I received news that Prince Matthew has secretly targeted Jiang Tian, and it looks like he plans to eliminate Jiang Tian and then wipe out all of the Jiang family’s forces in Simon State!”
“This matter makes me feel very strange. I want to know if you have reached some kind of agreement with Prince Matthew!”
Menasha’s sharp gaze fixed on Jiang Yi.
The entire royal family was most afraid of Prince Matthew’s illness being completely cured now.
The only person who could cure Prince Matthew’s illness was Jiang Yi. Once Jiang Yi defected to Prince Matthew, the royal family would be in big trouble.
The current royal family of Eagle Country did not have the strength to deal with Prince Matthew’s frantic retaliation.
In short, Jiang Yi, this piece on the chessboard, was too important to the royal family of Eagle Country!
“I have not defected to Prince Matthew, but I do have that idea!”
“I am a businessman, half a businessman. Businessmen don’t like to do unprofitable deals. Whoever gives me more benefits, I will choose them!”
“Your royal family is too stingy. I want a knighthood, and your royal family has hesitated for so long. If Prince Matthew were here, he would probably help me get the knighthood directly!”
Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
Hearing this, Menasha’s eyebrows knitted slightly.
Although she appeared calm on the surface, she was starting to panic inside!
Soon, Menasha’s brows relaxed!
“Even if Prince Matthew helps you get a knighthood, it would at most be a viscount. But our royal family is different. As long as the King agrees, let alone making you a viscount, even making you a marquis is not a problem!”
“Besides, only a title granted by the King is a true title!”
Menasha said directly.
Her words were meant to dissuade Jiang Yi from defecting to Prince Matthew.
In fact, Jiang Yi was doing this deliberately because he wanted to force the royal family of Eagle Country to grant him a title.
With a title, there would be fewer restrictions when developing business influence, and he would also have many privileges.
Now, a mere position as a minor lord could no longer satisfy Jiang Yi.
“Alright, then I’ll wait for your news!”
“I have already mentioned the matter of the knighthood to Prince Matthew. If he grants me the title beforehand, then our cooperation ends here!”
Jiang Yi said directly.
“I promise you, I will let you have the title as soon as possible!”
Menasha said.
Jiang Yi did not speak, because words were useless; the result mattered.
Perfunctory was a common tactic of the royal family of Eagle Country, and Jiang Yi would not fall for it.
For Jiang Yi, there were many options. He could choose to cooperate with the royal family or with Prince Matthew. It didn’t matter who he cooperated with.
Just then, more than a dozen cars drove towards this direction from the driveway, but they did not approach the Grand Lord’s Mansion, instead stopping in a very hidden forest.
Then, dozens of assassins got out of the cars.
These assassins were all wearing uniform black robes and ghoul masks.
Jiang Yi recognized at a glance that these assassins were all Jiang Tian’s men.
Like ghosts, these assassins crept towards the walls of the Grand Lord’s Mansion under the cover of night, then used high-tech climbing equipment to scale the wall.
Within minutes, the assassins had entered the Grand Lord’s Mansion.
The patrolling armored soldiers at the entrance had no idea.
