When He Xie came out of the tunnel, Ding Baiying was talking to Ding Chong. Seeing He Xie's serious expression, Ding Baiying was startled, and then whispered: "Chong'er, you go out first and guard the outside."
"Yes, Master." Ding Chong walked out of the door.
He Xie was sitting on the chair. Ding Baiying came over and poured a cup of tea for He Xie. After handing it over, he leaned slightly and sat aside, saying softly: "Brother, what happened?"
He Xie looked at Ding Baiying, sighed suddenly, and said, "Your Majesty, he has already murderous intentions towards me."
Ding Baiying was moved: "How is this possible? Senior brother, I have heard everything you did today. You have been promoted to governor and will be able to help him do more things in the future. Why would he want to kill you?"
He Xie picked up the cup, drank the tea in one gulp, wiped his mouth, narrowed his eyes and said: "Junior Sister, we are doing shameful things for him! What does it mean to be shameful? It means that we must never use the open side.
The power of God! So if I am promoted or not, will it be of any use to our prince?"
Ding Baiying was stunned.
"On the contrary, the more I get promoted, the more eager he is to kill me!" He Xie said coldly, "Because to him, Hokusai and I are all his flaws in the future! As a person, I
A flaw, but now he is in a high position and attracts the attention of thousands of people, how can he feel at ease?"
Ding Baiying showed fear on her face, grabbed He Xie's hand suddenly, and said urgently: "Brother, let's go! Let's go now! Let's leave here and don't worry about anything!"
He Xie held Ding Baiying with his backhand and looked at her: "In the whole world, is it the king's land? When he ascends the throne in the future, where can we escape to?"
"We...we can go to sea!"
"No, Junior Sister!" He Xie shook his head, "We have no choice but to give it a try!"
He Xie sneered: "I held him back! He still needs me for now!"
Previously, King Xin was aggressive, on the surface he was suspecting He Xie of betraying him and joining Wei Zhongxian, but in fact he was just trying to make excuses!
King Xin was afraid of Wei Zhongxian, so he needed He Xie, a buffering intermediary, to test Wei Zhongxian. But once He Xie fell into the trap before, defended himself, and revealed Wei Zhongxian's attitude today, King Xin would think that he went there in person.
The risk of contacting Wei Zhongxian is greatly reduced, so He Xie is really of no use value to King Xin!
It was precisely because He Xie knew this that he deliberately said that Wei Zhongxian was still hesitating and bought himself time!
However, he knew very well that King Xin had murderous intentions and could never be eliminated, and he would never have half any trust in him again!
He Xie underestimated King Xin's suspicion and ruthlessness. Fortunately, he had already thought about giving in to King Xin before, but his fantasy of trying to play both sides of the fence between King Xin and Wei Zhongxian was completely shattered!
If King Xin is like this, Wei Zhongxian will definitely not be able to hide it for too long, and this old fox will wake up!
The plan must be pushed forward as soon as possible!
Moreover, King Xin...
He Xie's eyes flashed, and he suddenly stood up and said: "Junior sister, come out with me!"
Xinwangfu.
King Xin hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind. He turned around, looked at the general on the side, and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Tai, can I trust you?"
Zhou Tai knelt down with a bang and said loudly: "I am willing to kill you for the sake of the prince. If my loyalty is even half false, I will have thousands of arrows pierce my heart and die!"
King Xin's face softened slightly, he helped Zhou Tai up, and said with a slight smile: "You are the commander of my bodyguards. You have grown up with me since you were a child. Naturally, I trust you the most."
He did not get down to business first, but casually asked: "Master Mu, where are you now?"
Zhou Taidao said: "I have received orders from His Highness. I sent someone to invite Taoist Mu ten months ago. However, Taoist Mu has disappeared without a trace. Instead, his junior fellow Taoist priest Yu Zhenzi was invited to come. Counting the time, there will be four or five more people."
It should be here by day."
A strange look flashed in King Xin's eyes: "Four or five days..."
He took out a jade pendant from his arms, handed it to Zhou Tai, and said solemnly: "I want you to take this thing and hand it to Wei Zhongxian personally. You tell him that I want to see him..."
Halfway through the words, King Xin felt that it was inappropriate and immediately changed his words: "No, tell him that I have admired him for a long time and hope to listen to his teachings in person!"
Zhou Tai frowned: "How noble is the prince? Why do you need to behave like this to that castrated dog?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed in King Xin's eyes, but he still said with a smile: "For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, what does this king's momentary honor and disgrace mean? Remember, if you leave it in the hands of Wei Wei personally, you must observe his every move and every look in his eyes.
, every expression, after seeing him, come back immediately and tell me the whole process word for word!"
"Yes, I have remembered it!"
"Go ahead."
When Zhou Tai went out, he saw more than a hundred guards in bright armor standing outside the palace, holding swords and swords, their swords and spears glowing coldly in the night.
Zhou Tai looked a little heavy and worried. He looked around and said, "Get out of here!"
King Xin looked at Zhou Tai's leaving back, with deep disgust in his eyes, and murmured: "How many idiots are there? If I ascend the throne in the future, the whole dynasty will be filled with uneducated and ignorant fools like Lu Wenzhao and Zhou Tai.
, how can the monarch and his ministers get along well with each other?"
He was a little worried at the moment. If Zhou Tai brought good news tonight, then Lu Wenzhao wouldn't have to stay anymore. But if Zhou Tai brought bad news, then Lu Wenzhao, he couldn't move yet.
Outside Prince Xin's Mansion, He Xie and Ding Baiying were quietly hiding behind the opposite wall.
Ding Baiying didn't know what He Xie was waiting for, but she didn't ask. She just stared at the moon in confusion, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Senior brother."
"Um?"
"Xiu'er and Xian'er will return to Beijing tomorrow."
"very good."
"I have found Zhou Miaotong, she is..."
He Xie turned around and looked at Ding Baiying: "This person is of great importance. Junior sister, please rob him directly."
Ding Baiying nodded silently.
"Senior brother...will we survive?"
"……Will!"
Squeak...
At this moment, the door of the palace opened, and a tall figure walked out of the door.
"It's Zhou Tai, the commander of the palace guards!" Ding Baiying immediately recognized this person.
He Xie squinted his eyes and watched Zhou Tai leave the palace and go straight east, murmuring: "As expected of King Xin!"
From the moment he thought that King Xin no longer trusted him and never arranged for him to contact Wei Zhongxian, he thought that King Xin might send someone else to contact Wei Zhongxian.
This matter should be done sooner rather than later, and thinking of King Xin's vigorous and resolute approach to work, or his eagerness for quick success, he guessed that if King Xin wanted to contact Wei Zhongxian, it would be tonight, while the aftermath of the day's incident was still lingering, and he would contact Wei Zhongxian again while the iron was hot!
He really guessed it!
"Let's go meet this Zhou Tai!" He Xie tightened his grip on the knife at his waist and strode out, followed closely by Ding Baiying.
