Xie Zhun's expression faded, and a chill suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Commander Meng, must you force me to this point?"
Meng Yi rarely heard Xie Zhun speak, but now he heard...
He couldn't help but glance at Ning Xi'er.
He became increasingly convinced that his previous judgment was accurate.
It seems that among this group, the most important person is Prince Cheng, Xie Zhun...
But what Prince Cheng values most is indeed his Princess Consort!
He had barely given the order when His Highness Prince Cheng couldn't contain himself any longer!
As if he had found the enemy's weakness, or stepped on their sore spot, Meng Yi felt a sense of satisfaction.
Meng Yi was talking to Xie Zhun, but there were no urgent instructions...
Therefore, the soldiers behind him all remained still.
"I suspect your master is different from Commander Yan..."
Xie Zhun's calm statement piqued Meng Yi's curiosity.
After a few casual words, he was convinced that the person in front of him was already trapped and unable to make any moves.
Meng Yi crossed his arms and asked with great interest, "I have always heard that His Highness Prince Cheng possesses exceptional wisdom; I would like to learn a thing or two from him..."
"Whom do you think Yan Jianjun is on?"
With so many soldiers behind him, he certainly wouldn't easily reveal his true strength...
As for Supervisor Yan, he naturally wanted everyone to know...
Xie Zhun smiled, not agreeing with him, but simply saying, "You didn't deny it, which proves I was right..."
However, I have some concerns. Even if they deal with things on our side, so many death row inmates have died, and there are still people in the government...”
Xie Zhun looked at the four leaders, meeting their astonishment and fear, and continued:
"Replacing the death row inmates isn't difficult. But how do we explain the loss of four officials responsible for registration?"
Upon hearing Xie Zhun's words, the three hundred soldiers behind Meng Yi displayed various expressions.
Some looked surprised, some looked doubtful, and some looked fearful.
Meng Yi suddenly felt a surge of anger, because Xie Zhun's words had left the identities of the four leaders nowhere to be hidden.
Even with his own justification for tonight's operation, which forbids all soldiers from going outside...
However, this group of government officials, dressed in black and masked, included some relatives of the garrison soldiers who were in the capital and knew the identities of Prince Cheng, the Duke of Protectorate, and others...
The assassination was carried out by government officials disguised as men in black, including a tattooed death row inmate. What else is hard to understand?
Many of the stationed soldiers showed fear on their faces, worried that they would be silenced for knowing too much.
Meng Yi gave them a warning look, then glared at Xie Zhun, "Your Highness is joking. How could this group of thugs in black possibly be government officials?"
Xie Zhun calmly and softly said "Oh".
He offered no explanation, but his seemingly all-knowing expression was enough to sow seeds of doubt in the hearts of the stationed soldiers.
Even though Meng Yi later issued a ban forbidding them from discussing or sharing the matter...
However, nothing is ever absolutely certain when it happens, and Meng Yi was naturally aware of this.
Suddenly enraged, Meng Yi waved his hands left and right, indicating he had no intention of giving Xie Zhun another chance to expose more facts...
Meng Yi's focus remained on Ning Xi'er.
Without Ning Xi'er, the charlatan old Taoist priest Xingming wouldn't be able to come up with anything interesting...
Food, water, and supplies—Meng Yi could outlast Xie Zhun and his men with any one of these...
Even a wheelchair can turn Xie Zhun into a cripple in an instant!
Otherwise, even if Xie Zhun was injured, this unpredictable Princess Cheng might still be able to save him, and their efforts would have been in vain...
When Meng Yi raised his hand, preparing to give the order to attack Ning Xi'er, Xie Zhun's calm and collected expression vanished completely.
Xie Zhun spoke calmly, "Won't Supervisor Meng reconsider?"
Meng Yi burst out laughing. Killing Xie Zhun or Ning Xi'er was just a matter of order; what did he have to consider?!
Or rather, what does Xie Zhun have to offer in negotiations?
His arm was strong, and he pointed at Ning Xi'er again.
