Chapter 865 Secret Infiltration
Chapter 865 Secret Infiltration
Dean and his group of five inquired along the way and arrived at the Crown Prince's residence, travel-worn and exhausted.
Seeing the officials coming and going in front of the Crown Prince's residence, Ah Wu, formerly Ah Si, spoke up:
“Ah Da, there are too many people at this main gate. Our current identities are the Crown Prince’s secret training force, so let’s go through the back door.”
Fortunately, having just been reprimanded by Dean, Ah Da, now known as Ah Er, did not respond.
Dean nodded, and then the group of five went to find the back gate of the Crown Prince's residence.
Fortunately, Hui Dun did not become extravagant after becoming the crown prince, nor did he expand his mansion, so Dean and his group were able to find the back door quite well.
Knock, knock, knock. The back door, which was usually used for purchasing and entering the mansion, was being knocked on.
However, the purchasing time had already passed, so there was no one guarding the back gate. The only guards were the palace guards who were patrolling the palace.
So when the Indian knocked on the door for a long time without getting any response, the Fourth Man simply climbed over the wall and went inside.
With a creak, the back door was opened from the inside by Ah Si.
"Come in, everyone, there's no one here."
"You idiot."
Ah Er started cursing.
"Brother, I'm just hungry."
"What eldest brother? I'm the second eldest brother now."
Ah Er reminded him.
"Alright, stop fooling around. Now that we're already inside, let's go find Huidun first."
Dean looked around and, finding no one, closed the back door again.
The five then split up and began to quietly infiltrate various parts of the Crown Prince's residence to find out where Huidun was.
However, they entered through the back door, which led them to the backyard, while Huidun was currently working in the front yard, so naturally they couldn't find anyone there.
So when the group gathered, they realized that Huidun was probably in the front yard.
However, at that moment, all five of them started to rumble in their stomachs.
"Brother, I just saw some food in the kitchen in the backyard. Why don't we fill our stomachs first?"
This time, Ah Si didn't mispronounce the name and addressed Dean directly.
"Fourth Brother, don't rush to think about food yet. Let's go to the front yard to see Huidun first. Otherwise, if something suddenly goes missing from the kitchen, it will inevitably cause some trouble."
Ah Wu spoke up.
"That's right, Fourth Brother, so you should just bear with it. Once you prove your identity, you can eat whatever you want."
Ah San said the same thing.
Ah Si snorted and said:
"What are you saying? You're making me sound like a glutton. I'm just hungry, and when you're hungry, of course you should eat. If I had known it would be this troublesome, I would have just grabbed a bite outside first."
"Alright, Fourth Brother, nobody called you a good-for-nothing."
The backyard is this big; the front yard must be even bigger.
I just took a look too. This food should be prepared by the Crown Prince's residence for the Crown Prince and the officials working in the front courtyard. They all have name tags on them. We'll just follow the servants with the Crown Prince's name tags."
"Alright, we'll listen to Fifth Brother."
Dean began to speak.
Dean and his group didn't have to wait too long. Since the royal tailor had arrived, Huidun didn't instruct them to wait for the meal, so the kitchen served the meal at the usual mealtime.
Although servants and guards came and went, Dean and his group followed the servant who served Huidun to the dining room where Huidun usually ate.
After the servants had all left, the five men came out.
Looking at the four dishes and one soup on the table, it was neither simple nor luxurious. Considering the number of dishes, the kitchen had certainly put in all its effort.
"Judging from this food, it seems that Hui Dun is just as His Majesty said, a frugal prince."
Ah San looked at the dishes on the table and spoke.
Meanwhile, the tailor had already taken Hui Dun's measurements. After having someone take the tailor down to eat, Hui Dun brought Xiao Dun to his restaurant to have a meal.
"Have lunch with me today. I need to ask you about the training progress of those people."
Hui Dun here is obviously referring to the fighters he will bring to the House of Representatives.
The House of Representatives, which may seem like a place for verbal arguments, is in fact an arena where force reigns supreme.
Naturally, the most important thing for each kingdom at each council meeting is to bring the warriors trained by their kingdom to participate in gladiatorial combat.
Only the winners or those ranked higher have enough say.
"Your Highness and the others have made great progress in their cultivation in this precious land, especially the five Mei brothers. After cultivating the inheritance given to them by Your Highness, they have all broken through to the Platinum level and have already mastered the basics of the combined attack technique."
Xiao Dun, who was walking behind Hui Dun, reported.
Huidun nodded after hearing this and said:
"That's good. We have to thank His Majesty for his introduction back then, and also for the help of the elven elders. These inheritances were all chosen for them by the elven elders."
Then Huidun saw that the table was already set with bowls, chopsticks and food. He made a gesture of invitation and then stepped in first.
However, although Dean and his five companions were well hidden, they were extremely hungry, and the food inside smelled delicious.
The rumbling of their hungry stomachs reached Huidun and his companion's ears.
Suddenly, Xiao Dun drew his sword from his waist, and Hui Dun suddenly had a magic wand in his hand.
"Who's inside? Come out here."
Xiao Dun stepped forward, pointed his sword at the door, and shouted.
The commotion quickly attracted the attention of the patrolling Royal Guards. Just as a large number of Royal Guards were about to rush over, Dean jumped out with the token Chen Cheng had given him.
Upon seeing the token, Huidun immediately addressed the approaching guard knights:
"Everyone, disperse. There's nothing to do here. Xiao Dun and I are doing a test. Your reactions are acceptable."
Upon hearing Huidun's words, Xiaodun knew what to do.
He immediately composed himself, sheathed his sword, and then spoke:
"Although His Highness said he was satisfied, I think your reactions were still too slow. When we get back, we should give you a good talking-to and toughen you up."
After everyone had left, Huidun and Xiaodun stepped into the restaurant.
At this moment, Dean and his five companions appeared in front of the Shield.
Xiao Dun, who was following behind, looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention, closed the restaurant door.
"Where did you come from, and why do you have this thing?"
Hui Dun pointed to the half token in Dean's hand.
This half of the token served as Chen Cheng's identity document when he established the inheritance trading platform with the elves and the adventurers' guild.
This is no ordinary token; it is a magical artifact.
Chen Cheng divided it in two, giving one half to Huidun, which is why Huidun was able to act as the manager of this platform.
The token Chen Cheng gave Dean was his other half.
Chen Cheng gave Dean half of the token because he wanted Huidun to have full control over it, as this might help him in his parliamentary elections.
King Mos XIII, perhaps due to his advanced age, did not anticipate the immense political power of the trading platform that Huidun had described.
In the beginning, Chen Cheng's setup for this platform was not just about the two major organizations, the Elf Race and the Adventurers' Guild. These two organizations were more about managing the platform and ensuring its initial credibility.
More often, other individuals or families participate in this platform.
In recent years, with the efforts of the Elf race and the Adventurers' Guild, this platform has also infiltrated many major forces and powerful figures within the kingdoms.
The platform claims to offer fair and just transactions, along with a principle of identity confidentiality, which has attracted the participation of many ordinary people and various forces.
If used properly, Chen Cheng believed that Huidun could definitely make a big splash in the House of Representatives.
