"Duke Yansheng is gone."
After a moment's silence, Zhang Weixian continued slowly.
After hearing Zhang Weixian's words, Xu Guangqi was stunned and put down the brush in his hand.
Although Zhang Weixian did not respond to the previous words, making the sentence seem a little abrupt, Xu Guangqi knew that the sentence was not abrupt at all.
"Perhaps Your Majesty is looking forward to it." Xu Guangqi said slowly.
Zhang Weixian remained silent, unable to criticize the emperor behind his back. However, he knew in his heart that His Majesty was indeed expecting something, perhaps feeling it was not enough.
This made Zhang Weixian a little worried. His Majesty's murderous intentions seemed to be getting stronger and stronger. This was not a good thing for a minister. He didn't know when it would implicate him.
After a long silence, Zhang Weixian looked up at Xu Guangqi and said, "Lord Xu, isn't it time to persuade His Majesty to return to the capital?"
After saying this, Zhang Weixian looked at Xu Guangqi with burning eyes.
After a long silence, Xu Guangqi finally replied, "That will have to wait until this matter is over."
While Xu Guangqi and the other man were discussing, Xu Xianchun was riding on his horse with a very ugly expression on his face.
Glancing at the men beside him, Xu Xianchun said with a serious face, "Are you sure?"
"Sure." The subordinate said with a dark face, "They have been following us for two days."
"Where is the person who was sent out to deliver the message? Is there any reply?" Xu Xianchun continued to ask while looking at his subordinates.
"There is no news yet." The subordinate said hurriedly.
Xu Xianchun didn't say anything else.
He knew that things were getting troublesome. Since he left Jining City, everything had been going very smoothly. The Kong family was also very cooperative and nothing had happened.
Although she and Kong Yinzhi had a past relationship, she originally thought that Kong Yinzhi would definitely do something when he saw her, and would never get along with her so easily. However, Xu Xianchun did not expect that Kong Yinzhi did not do anything and got along with her very well, as if the past relationship had never happened at all, and he was unusually affectionate to her.
At this moment, Xu Xianchun felt not happiness and joy, but a bone-chilling cold.
Having just experienced some things, Xu Xianchun has a deeper understanding.
It's clear that Kong Yinzhi did this not to make friends, but to protect himself. After losing the protection of his status as Yanshenggong, Kong Yinzhi seemed to have suddenly fallen into another situation. Some losses can be very painful; at the same time, without the halo of status, facing many things will naturally be fearful.
Thinking of this, Xu Xianchun sighed.
I originally thought that the matter was over. After all, if Kong Yinzhi didn't make a fuss, there would be no other problems. Who could have thought that something like this would happen?
Someone follows me, or rather, follows my team.
His men had discovered these people following him two days ago. After a detailed investigation, they discovered that there were actually quite a few of them. Judging from the current situation, it was unclear what these people were up to. They might be escorting Kong Yinzhi, preparing to come out and protect him if he did anything to him.
This made Xu Xianchun a little annoyed.
If these were the assassins the Kong family had hired, then there might be trouble. What he was going to do to Kong Yinzhi must not be discovered. If it was discovered, he would be finished.
Under such circumstances, Xu Xianchun couldn't help but be excited.
He had sent people out to secretly contact the people, but unfortunately, no news had come back yet. Apparently, those people were no longer coming back, which gave Xu Xianchun a bad feeling.
"Tell everyone to be prepared. If there is any unexpected situation, be ready to retreat at any time." Xu Xianchun said with gritted teeth.
If it was really as he expected, Xu Xianchun would choose to escape first and would definitely not choose to be buried here.
For Xu Xianchun, his own life is more important and it is not worth dying here.
The subordinate quickly said, "Yes, sir."
At this moment, people suddenly rushed out from both sides of the road, and people rushed up from the front.
These people held knives in their hands and rushed directly towards Xu Xianchun and others.
Not far away, someone was drawing his bow and shooting an arrow.
However, judging by their bows and arrows, it was clear that these people were ordinary hunters. Their bows and arrows were probably ordinary street bows or even homemade ones, far different from the standard military bows and arrows. Judging by their attire, they were probably just ordinary people.
But these people had ferocious expressions, holding knives in their hands, not wearing armor, and seemed to have something tied to their chests and backs. It seemed that they were also doing some simple protection.
Xu Xianchun's first impression of these people was that they were bandits, but this thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before disappearing.
Firstly, there couldn't be any bandits in this place; secondly, bandits wouldn't attack him. Bandits wanted money, not just someone to kill. Although most of the people around him were Jinyiwei, there were also quite a few guards, numbering less than a hundred.
In such a situation, the bandits would not have the courage to intercept him because the damage would be great. Even if they tried to rob him, they would not be able to get anything and would suffer terrible revenge afterwards.
Then there is only one possibility, these people are rebels, they are members of the Wenxiang Sect who are rebelling.
As soon as this thought flashed through my mind, the people in the front started shouting.
"Duke Yansheng, we are here to save you!" These people shouted as they rushed forward, their faces looking very excited.
This also made Xu Xianchun excited. Could this be God's will?
This is what a godsend feels like, right?
