Chapter 554: Total Annihilation
Xu Rui did not dare to take his sister's words lightly. After reading the letter, he stood up and walked to the candle to light the letter. He walked out of the room after it burned to ashes.
In this case, he had to make arrangements in advance. Even if nothing happened in the end, it didn't matter. It was always better to be
prepared. Xu Rui went out and gave some instructions secretly. After arranging things, he returned to the room and closed the door. As if nothing had happened, he simply tidied himself up. Seeing that it was getting late, he blew out the lights and prepared to go to bed.
In the dark, Xu Rui waited quietly.
He wanted to see who was so brave that he dared to attack him in the post station, and the post station was so close to the capital!
The night seemed particularly quiet. Xu Rui estimated that it should be midnight now. His nerves tensed up, and he instinctively sensed the coming of danger.
Sure enough, in the silence, there were sudden noises. He rolled over from the bed, listened attentively, and walked to the door as soon as possible, sticking to the door to listen to the movement outside.
After a while, there was a knock on the door. He paused, opened the door, and chopped down the dagger in his hand at the intruder!
The intruder was caught off guard and was hit directly. Even though he reacted quickly, he subconsciously raised his hand to block it. Although he was not injured, his arm was almost chopped off!
"Who is coming!"
Xu Rui asked sharply.
"The one who wants to take your life!"
Xu Rui sneered: "Then let's see who is going to take whose life!"
He had already reminded before going to bed that no matter what noise he heard, there was no need to knock on his door, he had his own arrangements. They only needed to do a good job of defense and deal with foreign enemies.
But this person came to his room and knocked on the door.
None of his soldiers disobeyed his orders! So the person knocking on the door must not be one of his own! Even if it is one of his own, it must be an insider!
My sister said in the letter that he had an insider. But she didn't say who the insider was, and told him to find it himself. In short, be careful of the people around you, don't have the intention to harm others, but be on guard against others. Sometimes the more impossible things are, the more true they are!
Xu Rui really can't do anything with her. What's the difference between this and saying it directly? Isn't it telling him clearly that the traitor is someone he never expected and never suspected?
Although the person who came deliberately suppressed his voice and it sounded different from usual, Xu Rui still heard it at the first time. His heart couldn't help but drop heavily, and he was very disappointed.
The two of them started fighting in the dim room.
The person who came also knew Xu Rui's ability, and just wanted to make a quick decision, thinking about whether he could kill him before others arrived. He didn't expect this to happen. He originally thought that this matter would be foolproof.
He came to knock on the door, and as soon as the door opened, he immediately stabbed Xu Rui's chest with the dagger in his hand and killed him on the spot. Who knew that Xu Rui was actually on guard, and not only did he not kill the man, but he was also injured!
After a few moves, he felt exhausted, after all, one of his hands was severely cut.
Since he couldn't kill anyone, he had to escape first!
He wanted to escape, but Xu Rui would not give him a chance.
He made up his mind and stabbed the man's back with a dagger. Although he didn't kill him directly, he made it impossible for him to escape.
Footsteps were heard, and others quickly rushed over, first lighting the candles in the room. The originally dim room suddenly lit up.
"Who are you, and who sent you to assassinate the general?"
Xu Rui took a few steps forward, staring at the man lying on the ground with a heavy gaze: "Deputy General Chen, it has come to this point, do you think you can escape like this?"
Deputy General Chen?
Everyone present was stunned, and their eyes all fell on the person on the ground.
Slowly, the person on the ground forced himself to turn over, revealing a familiar face.
Xu Muhua was far away in the Eastern Palace, but that did not stop her from watching the show.
Of course, it was so late, she couldn't wait, she had confidence in her eldest brother. Most importantly, she had confidence in herself.
She had arranged everything, and there was no way she would make a mistake in such a thing!
So she went to bed as usual when the time came. She
slept alone. The prince would come here a few days a month to perform for others, and the rest of the time he would sleep in the Crown Princess's room. Because of this incident, many people who were waiting to see the hustle and bustle in the Eastern Palace were disappointed.
The concubine who just came in didn't make any noise or fight for favor. The Crown Princess who came in earlier didn't make any noise or fight for favor either. The backyard of the East Palace was too peaceful!
Xu Muhua slept until dawn. After washing up, she sat at the dining table to eat breakfast. While eating, she listened to her little intelligence agent telling her about what happened at the post station last night.
"Fortunately, your elder brother believed you and made preparations in advance. Otherwise, your elder brother would have died last night."
Xiaoban watched Xu Muhua eat breakfast from the side. There was a lot of curiosity in his eyes, and he was eager to try. It seemed that he wanted to taste what human food tasted like.
Xu Muhua picked a few grains of rice on the table for it to eat, and forget about the rest. If it got an upset stomach, she didn't know how to save a bird.
She nodded, indeed. As for that Lieutenant General Chen, my elder brother should have never doubted him. It would be very easy to take action against someone who has never been doubted.
"How did my elder brother deal with this man in the end?"
"Oh, your elder brother stabbed him, and at dawn he said that he was dead and could not be saved. But your elder brother was a very good person, saying that he died in the line of duty, and did not reveal that he was a traitor. Except for a few people around your elder brother who knew the truth, others really thought that he died in the line of duty."
Xu Muhua sighed, "My elder brother is still too kind, and he still wants to help him save his reputation." He
was probably considering the wife and children of this Lieutenant General Chen. If the news that he was a traitor spread, his wife and children would definitely be affected. The death of the pillar of the family is already difficult, and if he is also excluded, it may be difficult to live in the same place.
Don't underestimate the influence of public opinion on people. One mouth says nothing, but ten mouths, a hundred mouths say it, it will be difficult to support. Not everyone has a strong heart.
If he saves his reputation, it is estimated that he will give his wife and children some money afterwards.
"What about the others? Have they been dealt with? Are there no casualties?"
Xu Muhua asked again.
"There were some injured, but they were not serious, just minor injuries. All the people who went there were killed, some by your eldest brother and his gang, and some by the gangsters you invited."
In short, they were all wiped out!
Xu Muhua was happy, "Su Zijiao must have been so angry that he vomited blood?"
