Chapter 91 Knowing it from the beginning
The ministers below looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.
Why do you feel that the emperor is so flattering to the emperor of Cangyue Kingdom today?
Li Jinchen is usually gentle to others, but he is neither humble nor arrogant, so he would not be like this.
Li Yunhuai sneered in his heart. His life is still in the hands of Zhao Jingxing. How can he not be flattering?
Li Yunhuai did not expect that he would attract a big-tailed wolf.
The banquet began, and the dancers entered one after another, and the sound of silk and bamboo was endless.
The ministers toasted each other, and on the surface they were peaceful, but in fact they had their own thoughts.
After three rounds of wine, the atmosphere began to warm up.
Everyone gradually let go of their initial restraint.
The beautiful piano sound and graceful dance made people blush.
Zhao Jingxing was not interested, looking down at the wine glass in his hand.
I don't know how Xie Anci is doing now?
Where is he now?
Zhao Jingxing really wanted to go back now and hug Xie Anci tightly in his arms.
A group of people and horses moved slowly in the dark and cold winter night.
The snow submerged people's calves, and every step was so difficult.
In the darkness, Xie Anci kept trying to break free from the rope, but to no avail.
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage suddenly stopped, followed by a sound of swords and guns clashing.
"Who is it?" Jiang Li asked loudly.
"Sir, there is an assassin!" a guard replied.
Jiang Li's face darkened, and he drew his sword: "Protect the carriage!"
Xie Anci was delighted. Could it be that someone came to rescue him?
A group of men in black descended from the sky, heading straight for the carriage and surrounding it.
Jiang Li hurried over to try to stop the crowd.
Suddenly, a dark shadow broke through the defense line and jumped onto the carriage.
The driver was kicked to the ground, and was replaced by a masked man.
"No! We can't let him get away!" Jiang Li's heart sank. If Xie Anci was taken away by someone else, he would be beaten to death by Zhao Jingxing.
Jiang Li's men also realized the seriousness of the problem and rushed forward.
"Drive!" The man in black poked the horse's butt hard with a dagger. The horse felt pain and ran forward madly.
Jiang Li and others were chasing after him, but the carriage was going too fast and gradually left them behind.
"Chase! Try to catch up!" Jiang Li didn't want to give up even though he knew there was little hope.
If he gave up, Zhao Jingxing would never let him go.
Everyone followed the carriage and chased after him.
In the carriage, Xie Anci was thrown all over the place .
His head and arms were red from being hit in the carriage, and Xie Anci groaned.
"Hold on, we'll let you out once you get rid of them." A familiar voice came from outside the carriage.
His eyes, which were originally full of hope, suddenly turned into disappointment.
Xie Anci closed his eyes and waited quietly.
After a while, the man tightened the reins of the horse, "Come on--"
The horse was forced to stop, and the biting cold wind whistled.
The man in black got into the carriage and untied the rope on Xie Anci.
"Why are you here?" Xie Anci said in a cold voice, staring at the man in front of him warily.
The man slowly took off his mask, revealing a handsome face. This man was Xu Xiao.
"I told you that you will be hurt all over by them. What do you think? Come with me?" Xu Xiao smiled and stretched out his hand to Xie Anci.
Xie Anci sneered and slapped Xu Xiao's hand away.
"Who are you? What do you know?" Xie Anci tightly grasped the Yilan Sword beside him and stared at Xu Xiao warily.
"The head of the Intelligence Chamber, Xu Xiao." Xu Xiao chuckled and reached out to comfort Xie Anci, but Xie Anci slapped his hand away.
"Intelligence Chamber..." Xie Anci chewed on the word again and again.
"I heard that the Intelligence Chamber is spread all over the country, and there is no news that you don't know." Xie Anci stared at Xu Xiao closely.
Xu Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Not bad, so follow me, I will protect you and won't let them find you."
As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Xu Xiao is the oriole.
He only needs to wait quietly, and then he can get what he wants by making the final move.
Xie Anci snorted coldly: "Why should I trust you?"
Xu Xiao smiled: "Just because I can save you at this time, isn't that enough?"
Xie Anci sneered: "Save me? You knew everything from the beginning, and you have been watching."
"Now you still have the nerve to say save me?"
Xu Xiao was stunned. Xie Anci was right.
He knew everything, and he even deliberately promoted it, wanting everyone around Xie Anci to dislike him.
But things are getting more and more out of control, or he didn't see through Xie Anci at all.
Originally thought Xie Anci would be isolated, but did not expect that group of bastards to hold Xie Anci tightly one by one.
"I am just following the purpose of our intelligence agency. I came to save you in order to take you away." Xu Xiao was calm and insisted that Xie Anci follow him.
He and Zhao Jingxing had the same goal, both wanted to monopolize Xie Anci and take him away.
Xie Anci clenched the sword in his hand: "No matter what, I will not go with someone like you."
Xu Xiao's face darkened: "This is not up to you."
After saying that, he reached out to grab Xie Anci.
Xie Anci dodged to the side and pointed his sword at Xu Xiao: "Don't force me to do it."
Xu Xiao stopped and looked at Xie Anci: "Do you think you can get away?"
"Everyone outside is my people now, you can only follow me."
Xu Xiao looked determined to win, and Xie Anci's chest heaved with anger.
He drew his sword and split the carriage in half, and what caught his eyes was a vast expanse of white.
A circle of black-clad men surrounded them, and they should be Xu Xiao's men.
In the front was a woman in red, with a charming look, holding a red oil-paper umbrella in her hand, and wearing exaggerated makeup.
"Regent, just obey my master, he has done everything for you." The woman chuckled, twisting her waist and slowly approaching Xie Anci.
If Xie You were there, he would definitely recognize that this woman was the one who provided him with intelligence.
The Intelligence Bureau had laid a big net from the beginning.
Maybe it was earlier than Xie Anci thought.
Xu Xiao also got out of the carriage with a smile on his face. He knew that Xie Anci would not be able to escape today.
Xie Anci pointed his sword at everyone and took a few steps back powerlessly.
He was surrounded by Xu Xiao's men and next to him was a steep cliff.
He had to either die or follow Xu Xiao. He didn't want to choose either.
"Anci, come here, stop struggling." Xu Xiao stretched out his hand, and Xie Anci looked at him coldly.
"Don't force me, I hate it most when others force me." Xie Anci narrowed his eyes, the cold wind hitting him made him shiver, and his hand holding the sword was shaking.
"Then come here obediently." Xu Xiao had a cold face. He didn't want to force Xie Anci, but this man had to force him, otherwise he wouldn't remember it at all.
Xie Anci frowned. He had just escaped from the wolf's mouth, and he was going to fall into the tiger's den again?
For a while, everyone was in a stalemate. Xie Anci was alone against dozens of people, and no one made the first move.
