Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1090: The Cunning Rabbit Has Three Burrows

Qin Yi's face was grim, "Who escorted them, and how long have they been gone?"

"It's been several hours already," Jin Kunlin trembled as he spoke.

Qin Yi was furious, "You deserve to die. How does a martial faction like yours have ties with the Second Prince?"

Jin Kunlin was terrified out of his wits, trembling as he said, "The Golden Moon Sect was originally supported by the Second Prince, with the purpose of monitoring Li Shuangcheng, fearing he might have other intentions."

Qin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly; he understood. This Second Prince was indeed meticulous and good at scheming, sending people to monitor Li Shuangcheng. If Li Shuangcheng leaned towards other contenders for power, he could react immediately.

"I ask you, do they have to pass through Tianlin City to go to the Imperial City?"

"Yes," Jin Kunlin replied promptly.

Qin Yi's gaze was icy. Although it was necessary to go through Tianlin City to reach the Imperial City, the terrain along the way was complicated, with countless main and side roads, making it impossible to search them all.

"Do you know whom the City Lord of Tianlin City is affiliated with?"

Jin Kunlin shook his head; this was a secret to everyone, something he couldn't possibly know.

Qin Yi's gaze was cold. The only thing to do now was to reach Tianlin City ahead of time.

But several hours had passed; he didn't know if Yun Mengyao and the others had already left Tianlin City. Once they left, being unfamiliar with the paths, where would he begin to search?

"Bang!"

A blood mist exploded; in his rage, Qin Yi crushed the Phoenix Feather into a blood mist from a distance.

Qin Yi's figure flashed, appearing before Jin Kunlin.

Jin Kunlin was frightened to the core, retreating while screaming, "No, don't kill me..."

Qin Yi raised his hand, his palm erupting with a violent suction force, pulling Jin Kunlin back from a distance and grabbing his throat.

At his peak, Jin Kunlin was no match for Qin Yi, let alone now.

Qin Yi's palm gathered a small purple sphere, similar to the one controlling Li Shuangcheng and Zhang Cheng, and directly implanted it into Jin Kunlin's forehead.

Divine Thought stirred.

Jin Kunlin's eyes bulged with bloodshot veins, his entire body convulsing violently in Qin Yi's grip, suffering unbearable pain.

Qin Yi's Divine Thought moved slightly, and Jin Kunlin's condition slightly improved.

"Rest assured, I won't kill you for now. You now head relentlessly to the Royal Family, tell the Second Prince that if he dares to harm a hair on my friends, not even the Emperor can save him.

Remember, deliver my message. Also, if they fall into the Second Prince's hands, find a way to ensure their safety. The Soul Devouring Pearl placed on you can only be removed by me and four others in this world. Even across miles, I can kill you with merely a thought. If you want to live, depends on your performance, understood?"

Jin Kunlin was terrified to madness, not wanting to experience that pain again, trembling as he nodded.

Purple Light surged and penetrated into Jin Kunlin's body.

Jin Kunlin was amazed to find his injuries recovering at an extremely alarming speed.

In no time, his injuries were nearly healed.

"Jin Kunlin, you're a smart man; if you want to live, you should know what to do?" Qin Yi said as he released his grip.

Jin Kunlin trembled like a leaf, looking at Qin Yi in horror, "I understand, rest assured, I will make arrangements immediately and head to the Imperial City."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, his figure flashed, turning into a streak of light, taking Li Shuangcheng away. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

He initially intended to eliminate Jin Kunlin, but he couldn't confirm if Yun Mengyao and the others had already left Tianlin City. If they were with the Second Prince, he had to find a way to ensure Yun Mengyao and the others' safety.

This Jin Kunlin was one of the Second Prince's people, which could be utilized.

"Jin Kunlin is also one of the Second Prince's people?"

The two landed on a hill, Qin Yi said indifferently.

Li Shuangcheng was still puzzled as to why Qin Yi didn't kill Jin Kunlin, and was shocked upon hearing Qin Yi's words that Jin Kunlin was also the Second Prince's man.

"Li Shuangcheng, do you know why the Second Prince supports a martial faction?"

Li Shuangcheng was about to shake his head when his expression changed suddenly, "To monitor me?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly, "It seems you are not entirely foolish."

Li Shuangcheng's face turned cold, unexpectedly being watched by the Second Prince.

"The Second Prince to whom you are loyal doesn't seem to trust you very much. Jin Kunlin said if he found you had discrepancies, you would be killed and replaced immediately."

Li Shuangcheng clenched his fists tightly, cold light flashing in his eyes.

Recalling Qin Yi's previous words, if the Second Prince ascended the throne, how would he treat them, the meritorious officials? The Second Prince would certainly kill them to hide his dirty deeds.

Qin Yi chuckled coldly, "Li Shuangcheng, I have unwittingly saved you once again."

"Thank you, Young Master Qin, I will be forever grateful and never forget your great kindness," Li Shuangcheng said solemnly.

Qin Yi replied indifferently, "You should understand what to do in the future. The Third Princess is worth following."

Li Shuangcheng nodded heavily.

Qin Yi changed the subject, "Whose territory is Tianlin City?"

"Reporting to Young Master Qin, Tianlin City is the territory of War General Song Qingfeng."

"Do you know whom he is affiliated with?"

Li Shuangcheng shook his head, "Now that the emperor's position is still undecided, whom to affiliate with is the ultimate secret. Some secretly affiliate with the Eldest Prince, yet also affiliate with the Second Prince. As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. If the one they support fails to seize power, they'll face certain death. Hence, it's better to support multiple people, increasing the chances of survival in the future.

Therefore, whom to support or affiliate with, these people will not easily disclose, not even to the closest ones around them."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, "Alright, I shall leave now. You may return."

Finishing his words, Qin Yi soared into the sky, turning into a streak of light heading towards Tianlin City.

He didn't have much time to waste, hoping those escorting Yun Mengyao and the others weren't fast, so he could reach Tianlin City first to intercept and rescue them.

...

...

Qin Yi dashed frantically and finally reached Tianlin City after several hours.

The guards at the city gates only felt a gust of wind pass by and didn't even see Qin Yi's silhouette.

Soon, Qin Yi appeared at the entrance of the War General Mansion.

"Who goes there, halt! This is the War General Mansion, unauthorized personnel are forbidden to approach, violators will be killed without mercy," the guard at the War General Mansion sternly warned.

Qin Yi frowned, "Let Song Qingfeng come out to see me."

"Bold! How dare you address the War General by name, do you have a death wish?" the guard rebuked angrily.

Qin Yi furrowed his brow into a frown, having no patience for these people. Without even asking his identity, they immediately assumed he wanted to die. Such boring conversations.

Qin Yi stepped forward, directly heading towards the War General Mansion.

"Bold, how dare you trespass the War General Mansion?"

Several guards were outraged, thrusting their silver spears towards Qin Yi, intent on subduing him.
