Chapter 1123 The Giant Beast Crawling in the Dark Night
In the study, the prime minister's adviser and another person were already unconscious.
Jiang Xue quickly searched the study and finally found their conspiracy plan in a secret compartment.
She glanced through it quickly and her face became extremely solemn.
This plan was even more vicious than she had imagined, and once implemented, the consequences would be disastrous.
Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard a cold voice behind her: "Do you think you can escape?"
Jiang Xue turned around abruptly, and saw that the prime minister's adviser had woken up at some point and was standing behind her, holding a dagger in his hand, with a look in his eyes that seemed to be filled with poison.
"After being poisoned by my smoke, you were able to wake up so quickly?"
Jiang Xue was secretly shocked. It seemed that this prime minister's adviser was more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.
"You think you can fool me with this little trick?"
The prime minister's adviser sneered: "I had expected you to come, and I set this trap for you."
Jiang Xue looked around and found that the doors and windows of the study had been sealed, and she was in a desperate situation.
She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Now was not the time to despair.
She must find a glimmer of hope to escape.
The prime minister's adviser approached step by step, the dagger in his hand flashing coldly.
"You are very smart, but unfortunately you are too naive."
He smiled grimly: "Do you think you can beat me?"
Jiang Xue stared at the prime minister's adviser closely, and suddenly, she found...
Jiang Xue stared at the prime minister's adviser, and suddenly a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
She found out!
That old fox seems to be in control of everything, but in fact he is extremely conceited!
He thought he had the upper hand, but he forgot that the strongest fortress is often breached from the inside.
"Can't beat you?"
Jiang Xue smiled contemptuously, her tone full of disdain: "Who do you think you are?"
The prime minister's adviser was enraged by her. Jiang Xue dodged him narrowly, and at the same time grabbed the pillow on the bed and smashed it hard into the prime minister's adviser's face.
"A mere trifle!" The prime minister's adviser looked down upon him and swung his knife to split the pillow in half.
However, at this moment, Jiang Xue moved!
She rushed to the prime minister's adviser like a flash of lightning, kicked the dagger out of his hand, and at the same time, she rushed forward and threw him to the ground with a neat shoulder throw.
"That's it?"
Jiang Xue looked down at the Prime Minister's counselor who was knocked unconscious, her eyes full of mockery: "I thought you were so powerful, but it turns out you are just a piece of trash!"
The prime minister's adviser struggled to get up, but Jiang Xue stepped on his back and he couldn't move.
She took out the conspiracy plan from the secret compartment and held it high: "See? This is your evidence of guilt! Your conspiracy ends here!"
"You...you!" The prime minister's adviser was furious, but helpless.
He had planned everything, but he didn't expect that he would eventually fall into the hands of this seemingly weak woman.
Jiang Xue sneered and threw the conspiracy plan in the face of the prime minister's adviser: "Take a good look at how you are heading towards destruction step by step!"
She looked around at this study room that was once full of conspiracy, and her heart was filled with joy.
She won!
She finally exposed all the conspiracies of the prime minister's advisers and sought justice for those innocent people!
"Someone, come here! The evidence is irrefutable that the prime minister is plotting treason, why don't you arrest him?"
At Jiang Xue's command, the guards who were lying in ambush outside the Prime Minister's residence immediately rushed in and surrounded the Prime Minister's advisers.
"No! Impossible! I won't lose!" The prime minister's adviser shouted at the top of his lungs, but to no avail.
In the face of overwhelming evidence, all his excuses seemed pale and powerless.
Jiang Xue looked at the prime minister and his advisers being taken away, but she did not feel relaxed at all.
She always felt that there seemed to be a bigger conspiracy hidden behind it, and things couldn't be so simple!
She walked out of the study in the Prime Minister's Mansion and looked up at the night sky. The moonlight was deep and the stars were twinkling, but it seemed to be covered with a layer of shadow.
"Princess, when we were counting the number of people, we found that one person was missing."
The guard's words shocked her heart. Someone was missing? Who?
"It's Zhang Li. Zhang Li, who was in charge of liaison with the border military camp, is missing."
Jiang Xue's face turned pale instantly.
Border military camp... She suddenly remembered Zhang Li's words before he left. Could it be...
"Prepare the horses. I'm going to the border military camp." Jiang Xue's voice was low and firm, with a barely perceptible tremor.
"Princess, but..."
"It's okay, prepare the horses immediately!" She had to get to the border military camp as soon as possible to prevent a possible disaster.
Because she suddenly remembered that the jade pendant on Zhang Li's waist seemed a little different from the one they found before...
Jiang Xue rode alone and galloped all the way. The horse's hooves shattered the tranquility of the night. The wind whistled past Jiang Xue's ears. She had to reach the border military camp before everything was irreversible.
The rolling hills ahead were like giant beasts crawling in the dark night. They looked particularly eerie in the silent night, just like the hidden crisis in her heart that could not be ignored.
Jiang Xue tightened the reins, and the horse under her crotch seemed to sense her master's anxious mood and sped up a bit.
After running for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Xue finally saw faint lights in the distance. That was the direction of the border military camp and it was her only hope at the moment.
Finally, the towering military camp gate appeared before our eyes.
Jiang Xue dismounted from her horse and walked quickly towards the guards without even taking the time to tidy up her clothes that were messed up by the wind.
"I want to see the border general. I have urgent military information to report!"
The guard looked her up and down, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
"Princess, why did you visit me so late at night?"
"This is a serious matter and cannot be delayed!" Jiang Xue said in a hurried tone, with anxiety between her brows.
The guard did not dare to delay and hurried in to report.
Soon, a general in armor came out. It was the border general.
He was tall and strong with a stern face, and his hawk-like eyes stared at Jiang Xue as if he could see through her.
"Princess, what brings you here so late at night?" The general's voice was low and powerful, with a hint of barely perceptible hostility.
Jiang Xue took a deep breath and briefly informed the general about Zhang Li's disappearance and the strangeness of the jade pendant.
However, what she didn't expect was that after listening to her, the general not only did not show due attention, but instead showed a hint of sneer.
"Princess, are you kidding? Why mobilize so many troops just because a liaison soldier is missing?"
Jiang Xue's heart sank. The general's attitude made her feel surprised and uneasy.
"General, this is no joke. The location and time of Zhang Li's disappearance are very suspicious. I suspect..."
"Princess, you worry too much."
The general interrupted her, with a hint of impatience in his tone: "I will take care of the military camp affairs, so Princess, please don't worry about it."
His words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Jiang Xue's head, making her feel a chill to the bone.
She looked at the general's cold eyes and felt powerless.
