Chapter 398: A Long and arduous journey (2/3)



Xiao Jingxi tapped his slender fingers lightly on the desk: "Deceiving the emperor."

Xiao Shun heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, a barely perceptible excitement flashing across his cold eyes. Deceiving the emperor is a capital crime. So, let him do whatever he wants.

In reality, since Xiao Jingxi had captured Lu Dexin, he would never allow him to return to Kyoto alive. Xiao Jingxi never gave his enemies the chance to turn the tables and bite back. However, before Lu Dexin died, he still had a score to settle with him.

Before Xiao Shun retreated, Xiao Jingxi said lightly: "I don't know which hand it was... In that case, don't keep both of his hands."

Xiao Shun was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around and replied "yes". Although he was a little curious, he didn't show it on his face. Since his master had given him the order, he would do his job well.

Ren Yaoqi didn't know that the person she hated the most in her previous life was handed over to Xiao Shun by Xiao Jingxi to be "trained". She didn't know that the pain that Lu Dexin had inflicted on her would be repaid by Lu Dexin with pain that was dozens or hundreds of times worse.

To the outside world, Lu Dexin had already been killed for the crime of deceiving the emperor. The people he brought with him were luckier than him. Although they could not escape death in the end, at least they did not suffer as much as he did.

So Xiao Jingxi has never been a kind and gentle person. He is a qualified superior, and when necessary, he can be more ruthless than anyone else. He is also a mature politician. If you offend him, he will kill you, but he can also let you jump around a few times when the time is not right, waiting to settle the score later.

Lu Dexin never thought until his death that the reason he couldn't even die peacefully in his life was because he had once tried to tease the sweetheart of Mr. Xiao Er, but failed.

On this side, Xiao Jingxi dealt with Lu Dexin calmly, while Ren Yaoqi was also in a state of unrest.

After returning, Nanxing reported everything that happened outside to Ren Yaoqi.

When Ren Yaoqi heard that Lu Dexin had been taken away by Xiao Jingxi, she was stunned for a moment, then felt a mix of emotions. She knew that since Xiao Jingxi had framed Lu Dexin, he would not be allowed to live. Ren Yaoqi was naturally relieved to know her enemy was about to die, but she hadn't expected Xiao Jingxi to act so swiftly.

"That token..." Ren Yaoqi felt that it was very suspicious that Ludexin's token was broken for no apparent reason, and Xiao Jingxi appeared so timely, as if he had expected that scene.

So, no matter how gentle and affectionate Xiao Jingxi appeared in front of Ren Yaoqi, in fact, in Ren Yaoqi's eyes, Xiao Jingxi had never been a gentleman or a kind person. The two of them started with Xiao Jingxi repeatedly trying to steal her away, so if Xiao Er Gongzi wanted to leave a positive impression in his sweetheart's heart, he had a long way to go.

Nan Xing paused and said implicitly: "There are many masters around the young master." It is very easy to make Lu Dexin go soft without realizing it.

Ren Yaoqi understood the meaning of the music and nodded in understanding. It seemed that Lu Dexin was being set up. In fact, he should have known that it must be no simple matter for Xiao Jingxi to send people to guard here. He was not a person who was used to being passive.

Then Nan Xing thought of the last words the master had given her and began to relay them meticulously, "The master told me to tell you two things: 'Don't worry' and 'Wait for me'."
