Liu Ziqi met Yu Qizhe's eyes and understood what was going on. He didn't know what expression to show for a moment. Not to mention that Cheng Ying had watched him and Yu Jiao grow up, how could a eunuch like him have the idea of love between a man and a woman?
Although Cheng Ying had kept a woman by his side before, who knew that she was just a plaything? Now he was coveting Yu Jiao?
Liu Ziqi frowned, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "I will go to Xianyang myself."
Yu Qizhe shook his head: "Kyoto is a mess right now, and Ji Wudao, the great threat, is still eyeing us covetously. You still have to be in charge of the court. Besides, Cheng Ying has the Thunderbolt in his hand, so your dragon body is the most important, otherwise it may shake the foundation of the country."
Liu Ziqi naturally knew that he had just ascended the throne and his foundation was unstable. If he encountered an unexpected accident in Xianyang, it would not only be Ji Wudao, but other people with ulterior motives would also emerge one after another.
He looked helpless: "What should I do? I will never agree to let Cheng Ying use Jiaojiao to secure the throne."
Yu Qizhe rubbed the oily mutton-fat jade on his waist with his fingertips, looked at the morning sun shrouded in a layer of mist outside the Yangxin Palace, and said, "There will always be a way. I want to search the mansion outside Cheng Ying Palace to see if I can find anything."
"Okay, I'll give you a handwritten note." Liu Ziqi wrote the note and handed it to Yu Qizhe, and then said, "I'll ask someone to invite my father to the palace to discuss this matter together."
After Yu Qizhe received the imperial edict and left the palace, he went straight to the Gongwei Division and asked Lu Jin to take the Jinyiwei to Chiyuan Hutong.
Lu Jin ordered a group of people to follow him and asked curiously, "Didn't you go to Xianyang? Why are you back so soon? Have you captured Cheng Ying?"
Yu Qizhe raised his eyebrows and looked at him. Lu Jin immediately fell silent and whispered, "I've only seen junior brothers being afraid of senior brothers, but I've never seen senior brothers being afraid of junior brothers. I'm just concerned about you..."
Yu Qizhe whispered, "Cheng Ying has developed a new weapon with terrifying power. It has injured three thousand of our men without even fighting them."
"What new weapon is so powerful?" After being surprised, Lu Jin asked, "What about your sister-in-law? Have you seen her?"
Yu Qizhe pursed his lips and shook his head.
Seeing his face darken for a moment, Lu Jin hurriedly said, "It doesn't matter. Can Cheng Ying stay in Xianyang forever? As long as we besiege the city and cut off his food supplies, when everyone in Xianyang can't stand it anymore, no matter how powerful his weapons are, he will have to leave the city if he wants to survive."
"That's a good idea. It seems that your reading of those military books was not in vain." Yu Qizhe had thought about besieging Xianyang City, but that would take a lot of time. Cheng Ying was a man of great intelligence, and he was worried that something might happen if he was too late.
Lu Jin said excitedly: "I also saw a method of flooding the city. If that doesn't work, we can dig a canal outside Xianyang to divert water, but this will waste material and manpower."
Yu Qizhe responded indifferently. Seeing him being so perfunctory, Lu Jin knew that this idea might not work.
He added: "If all else fails, I will lead my men to sneak into Xianyang City quietly, cooperate with the inside and outside forces, and rescue your sister-in-law first." He knew that Yu Qizhe cared about Yu Jiao the most.
Yu Qizhe's heart moved slightly. If he could instigate the people around Cheng Ying to pass the message outside and find out where Yu Jiao was hidden by Cheng Ying, and rescue Yu Jiao first, all the difficulties would be solved.
"We're here." Lu Jin said.
Yu Qizhe looked up and saw Lu Jin raising his hand to signal the Jinyiwei to surround the entire mansion, and then he chopped the door open with a knife.
The courtyard was so quiet that not a single person could be seen.
