Chapter 407: Too Filial
The matter is clear.
These three people are all from Qianshalou.
Baili Yunhe has heard of this organization. Not long ago, many assassins from Qianshalou gathered in the Southern Qi Imperial City, intending to assassinate Madam Xu.
As a result, Madam Xu's strength was beyond his expectations. Not only did she not die, but she also received the protection of the Southern Qi Emperor.
It is hard to tell how this old and ugly woman could be favored by his ambitious father.
"Take them away and execute them."
All the questions that should be asked have been asked. Even if the interrogation continues, it is estimated that these three people will not know much.
Guards came in from outside and took the three assassins away to be executed. In addition to the two people who were beaten with boards not long ago, there were three more corpses outside the hall.
The guards guarding the door all looked livid.
Today's welcoming banquet was really bloody!
Emperor Nanqi asked patiently, "Prince, have you interrogated everything clearly?"
Baili Yunhe turned around respectfully: "Clear."
Emperor Nanqi snorted coldly: "Don't you just suspect that it was the assassin I arranged? This matter has nothing to do with me."
"This matter really has nothing to do with my father, but the Thousand Killings Tower actually dared to assassinate the distinguished guests of Nanqi. Isn't it deliberately slapping my father in the face? I would like to ask my father for an order to destroy the Thousand Killings Tower!"
The eyelids of Emperor Nanqi twitched.
He suddenly realized something.
"How does the prince plan to destroy the Thousand Killings Tower?"
The officials below were also discussing.
"How to destroy the Thousand Killings Tower when there is no trace?"
"Those killers are hiding their identities and come and go without a trace. If it was really that easy to destroy them, they would not have been hiding for so many years."
Baili Yunhe raised his eyebrows and his cold eyes fell on the face of Emperor Nanqi.
Those eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, and the thoughts hidden in them were bottomless.
"I have already got some clues. As long as you can let me mobilize the imperial guards in the city, I will definitely be able to catch all the killers in the Thousand Killings Tower!"
The face of the Southern Qi Emperor was a little ugly, and his eyes finally changed significantly, with a more penetrating coldness.
If the power to mobilize the imperial guards in the city is given to Baili Yunhe, it is equivalent to handing Baili Yunhe a knife.
The greatest force in the imperial city is the imperial guards in the city, which only belongs to the emperor!
The Southern Qi Emperor was silent.
Prime Minister Lin spoke again.
"Your Majesty, this Thousand Killings Tower is a threat to you. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can completely eliminate it, it will be a once and for all solution!"
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince can say such words with confidence, he must be sure of it. I hope Your Majesty will give His Highness a chance."
An Yunxi also stood up at this time. The two of them avoided the sight of the crowd and quietly watched Baili Yunhe's rule in the court of Southern Qi in the corner.
She really couldn't help it, and whispered in Ling Fengxun's ear: "Prince, I said, why didn't Third Brother clear out these killers in advance? It turns out they are waiting here."
Ling Fengxun's phoenix eyes flashed with a stream of light. He lowered his head slightly and glanced to the side: "He is also using me to achieve his own goals."
It turned out that from the moment he entered the city, everything that happened was arranged by Baili Yunhe first.
What hidden arrows and assassinations, all of them were deliberately let these people show up by Baili Yunhe.
The purpose is to use this excuse to seize the power to mobilize the guards from the hands of Emperor Nanqi!
Even if he can only get a part of it, it must be of great benefit to him!
And Emperor Nanqi didn't even have a reason to refuse.
Emperor Nanqi seemed to be moved by the advice of his ministers.
"I give you a thousand guards, is that enough?"
Baili Yunhe frowned.
"I hope that your father can borrow me to mobilize 10,000 soldiers. I promise to clear the Thousand Killing House within three days. If I can't do it, you can do whatever you want to me after three days."
"Three days is not enough."
The voice of the Emperor of Nanqi was a little lower.
He seemed to be thinking.
"You will get married in three days. You are the prince. The prince's marriage is a major event for the Nanqi Kingdom. The auspicious time must not be delayed. So, after you get married, you can do this dangerous thing. What do you think?"
The Emperor of Nanqi said this in a negotiating tone.
Even the officials of Nanqi below thought it was good.
After all, the Thousand Killings Tower is full of vicious and evil people who kill without blinking an eye. It is not appropriate to do such a dangerous thing during the wedding.
Baili Yunhe hesitated for a moment: "Father, have you promised me? After the wedding, can I mobilize the imperial guards to destroy the Thousand Killings Tower?"
The corners of Emperor Nanqi's lips moved, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.
It seemed that something was gradually out of his control.
But in the end, he still agreed in public: "Okay."
"Father, your words are golden, and I will never let you down."
Baili Yunhe left this sentence, then retreated and sat back at the banquet.
The second half of the banquet was silent and tasteless.
Even the Emperor of Southern Qi left before the banquet was over.
Baili Yunhe took the initiative to take on the task of entertaining the distinguished guests. When the sun was setting, he took Ling Fengxun and An Yunxi back to his East Palace.
Night fell, and the moonlight fell on the dim sky.
The Prince's East Palace was brightly lit.
The palace was filled with festive red silk, bright red wedding flowers were hung high, and even every window was pasted with exquisitely cut wedding characters.
But seeing all this, Baili Yunhe's face was cold.
Walking on the not-so-wide gravel path, An Yunxi took off the veil that she had been wearing on her face, even at the dinner party, and quickened her pace to Baili Yunhe who was leading the way.
"Third brother, you seem a little unhappy."
After all, the two grew up together.
Because of their close age and Baili Yunhe's poor health, when An Yunxi was a child, she spent more time with her third brother than with her other two brothers combined. She
has a certain understanding of him.
Baili Yunhe was slightly startled, then he gathered his thoughts and a gentle smile reappeared on his face.
"It's okay, I just thought of some unhappy things."
He almost subconsciously raised his hand to touch An Yunxi's head.
However, he remembered that it might be inappropriate to do these things now, so he took his hand back in mid-air.
An Yunxi seemed to notice Baili Yunhe's little action.
Her eyes became softer and her voice became a little softer.
"If you are unhappy, you can tell me. Don't worry, Yun Xi will definitely not tell anyone."
Baili Yunhe suddenly felt relieved when he heard this.
He raised his lips slightly: "Yeah."
Ling Fengxun's voice came from the side, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has a good plan. Have you prepared for today's plan?"
