Chapter 364 Assassination



"What's the matter? Why are you back?" Ji Xingzhi said as if he was enjoying the show.

Zi Liao glanced at Ji Xingzhi coldly and said unhappily, "You're asking even though you already know the answer."

The emperor will visit Anxiang Tower today, and Anxiang Tower will naturally not allow outsiders to enter. If the emperor has any mishap in Anxiang Tower, then the huge Anxiang Tower will no longer exist.

"How do we get in?" Zi Liao asked.

Ji Xingzhi replied: "Wait a little longer."

When Zi Liao heard this, he immediately exploded: "No one has come to the palace yet. If we don't find a way to get in now, how will we get in when the palace arrives later?"

Ji Xingzhi patted Zi Liao's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I have arranged everything."

Zi Liao glanced at Ji Xingzhi's hand on his shoulder, and saw that her five fingers were as white as jade, each one slender and with rosy fingertips. He hadn't noticed it before, but now that he looked closely, this hand was even more beautiful than a woman's hand. How could a man's hand be so clean, white and tender? These were clearly a woman's hands.

Ji Xingzhi noticed that Zi Liao had been staring at her hand, so she quickly withdrew her hand and frowned slightly, saying, "What are you staring at?"

"Nothing." Zi Liao said with his eyelids slightly drooped.

Ji Xingzhi glanced at Zi Liao thoughtfully, then glanced at her hands calmly, thinking, "Could it be that Zi Liao is suspicious?" It seemed she had to ask Wu Fang to investigate Zi Liao thoroughly.

Ji Xingzhi and Zi Liao waited for about half a minute, when suddenly a group of people came hurriedly, quickly surrounded Anxiang Tower, and searched the building inside and out.

Afterwards, Wu Fang personally led the team, riding a tall horse to clear the road, and cleared all the people on the street to the side of the road. He then personally went into Anxiang Tower to check it out, and waited at the door of Anxiang Tower with several guards.

Not long after, a carriage arrived, surrounded by a group of guards, palace maids and eunuchs. The carriage was made of nanmu wood, painted red, and the roof was inlaid with gold and jade. On the top was a huge pearl, which reflected colorful light under the sunlight.

The carriage stopped at the door of Anxiang Tower. The palace maid lifted the curtain, and a man in a purple brocade robe came out of the carriage. He had a black gauze hat on his head, which covered his face.

Zi Liao saw from afar Wu Fang personally welcoming people into Anxiang Tower, but a puzzled look appeared on his face: "Why are you wearing a hat?"

"Are you stupid? He's the emperor, how could he show up so easily?" Ji Xingzhi gave Zi Liao a blank look.

Zi Liao thought about it carefully and realized that it would be dangerous if someone with ulterior motives targeted him.

"The emperor has already gone in. How do we get in?" Zi Liao asked.

Ji Xingzhi shook his head and said, "No rush."

When Zi Liao heard this, he was stunned: "No hurry yet? Do we have to wait for General Ling to come before we can go in?"

When Ji Xingzhi heard this, she looked at Zi Liao in surprise and asked, "Huh? How did you know that?"

Zi Liao: “…”

Not long after, Ling Lan arrived.

Ling Lan had just reached the door of Anxiang Tower when a cry of alarm suddenly rang out from inside: "There's an assassin! Protect the emperor!"

Ji Xingzhi recognized that it was Wu Fang's voice. When the guards guarding the door of Anxiang Tower heard that there was an assassin inside, they all rushed in, giving them a chance to exploit.

Seeing this, Ji Xingzhi raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Now, let's go!"

Upon hearing this, Zi Liao was puzzled at first, but after gathering all his thoughts, he suddenly looked at Ji Xingzhi in shock and asked, "How did you know about the assassin in advance? Did you arrange this?!"
