Chapter 346 Li Yunrui’s last son.
"kill!"
Without any warning, countless people rushed towards the courtyard.
Fan Xian's left hand tightly grasped the cold iron rod, and the metal texture on it gave off a chill. At this moment, he was surrounded by enemies from both sides.
His deal with the princess was complete, so it was understandable that the information was sold.
Originally, Fan Xian was never reluctant to look at others with a slightly kind eye, but after Li An arrived in this city, all the unexpected changes occurred.
In view of this, he is now more worried about the situation in the Supervisory Commission.
Maybe I was too optimistic before.
No matter whether it was the Crown Prince or the Second Prince, they were determined to kill him first. As the Supervisory Council was the most direct force under him, they could not allow anyone to have any concerns after Chen Pingping left, and would definitely take drastic measures to purge them.
The crowd was surging, and one of them thrust an iron rod into someone's throat. He watched the other person fall down holding his neck, with blood oozing out of his hand.
Peace no longer belongs to this small courtyard.
Without any hesitation, Fan Xian kicked the stone table and threw it towards the crowd, then flew in the opposite direction of the Overwatch Council.
······
"I want him dead!"
In Guangxin Palace, the figure behind the layers of gauze curtains said expressionlessly.
She is the winner.
Whether the Crown Prince has now become the Emperor, or the Second Prince can turn the tables, there is no reason for her to fail, as both sides need her strength.
Except Fan Xian!
As long as Fan Xian is alive, she will never smile from the bottom of her heart, especially since Fan Xian is the mastermind behind the murder of Emperor Qing.
"He went to Chen Garden." A eunuch beside the princess whispered, "Perhaps ordinary people cannot see his purpose, and they think that he is fleeing in the opposite direction of the Supervisory Council. If he admits defeat, there will be no place for him in the whole capital, and he can only flee in this direction. But as long as he is unwilling to give up, he will contact his own power. There is no doubt that Master Fan is the latter."
"It's just that there is one thing I don't understand."
Li Yunrui's cold and pale face looked very calm and elegant. Nowadays, there were not many things that could touch the strings in her heart, no matter whether it was happy or unhappy.
"explain."
"According to intelligence, this young Master Fan entered the city early this morning. If he wanted to contact the Overwatch Council, he would have had plenty of time. Why did he choose to take a risk only at this critical moment? Or what is he waiting for?"
"Not meeting up now is the right choice. Fan Xian made a mistake in trusting a woman once again, a woman who has hatred and love in her heart!"
Li Yunrui sneered. The princess was originally the eldest princess of Northern Qi. The reason why she married into the Kingdom of Qing was known to everyone.
At first, Northern Qi failed in its battle with Qing. Not only did it lose a county, but it also had to marry off its daughter to seek peace.
How could the eldest princess who married into the Kingdom of Qing have no hatred in her heart under such circumstances?
"If Fan Xian gathers all the forces in Kyoto now, he will definitely attract everyone's attention. If that's the case, it will only disappoint me and make people look down on him. Although we all know that Fan Xian will rush back when His Majesty ascends the throne, we didn't expect it to be so soon, and we don't know what cards the other party has prepared. Spreading them out can also distract everyone's attention, magnify the conflict between His Majesty and the Second Prince, and put Fan Xian's matter behind."
"As for what Fan Xian is waiting for?"
A strange blush suddenly flashed across Li Yunrui's face, which was a sign of excitement. The wise light in her eyes had always been a part of her pride.
She doesn't think she is inferior to men.
"He is waiting for reinforcements from Dongyi City!"
This is how the world is. It is not small, but it is not small. There are only these forces in the world. Even if you are a wise man, where can you borrow strength from?
Northern Qi is now watching the fun from the sidelines, and the troops deployed on the border are also ready to go. At a glance, they want to reap the rewards and take over Qing in one fell swoop while the country is in turmoil. This is for their own benefit.
No matter what the Western Hu do, or how helpless Si Gu Jian is, Dongyi City must send troops at this time.
If Qing Kingdom falls, judging from the map, Dongyi City will inevitably be incorporated into the territory of Northern Qi. No one will leave a country with complete autonomy in the hinterland. If they want to escape, all they have is the sea on the right side of the map. But, will Dongyi City surrender?
To save the Kingdom of Qing is also to save the City of Dongyi.
But Li Yunrui didn't expect that Si Gu Jian would actually choose Fan Xian. Was it that Si Gu Jian and Ye Qingmei had some past that she didn't know about?
They both belong to the Junshan Society, and it is obvious that I am the one who can bring the greatest benefits to the other party.
It seems that Si Gu Jian is still emotional even when he is old.
"Where will the Dongyi City's troops come from?" It was impossible to enter from Danzhou. Even the Supervisory Council couldn't do it, so how could some ordinary soldiers do it? "Going through the sea. This!?"
"Thinking it through?" Li Yunrui raised the corners of his lips and said softly, "Jiaozhou Navy. Whose Jiaozhou Navy is it now?"
Crossing the border by land is extremely difficult. During special periods, Dongyi City has to send a letter to Qing Kingdom to request permission to pass through. What's more, in this wartime?
Regardless of the intention, the border guards would only resist and send back letters.
After all this back and forth, the matter in Kyoto was settled long ago.
The same applies to traveling by sea. No matter how the enemy takes a detour, they must pass the Jiaozhou Navy.
If that’s the case, then why doesn’t the other party take the shortest distance from the beginning?
We should be not far from Kyoto now!
"According to the time calculation, the troops from Dongyi City will arrive in less than two days." The eunuch lowered his body. It's not that he didn't know his master's wisdom, but it was rare for him to have so much conversation with him.
"Where is the Imperial Master of Northern Qi now?"
Suddenly, Li Yunrui stopped what he was doing.
"This," the eunuch was in a dilemma, "In this capital, the only places where I can't get news are Chen Garden, the various princes' palaces, and the Queen Mother's."
"Whose family has a Northern Qi person in their home?"
Li Yunrui eliminated many options for his subordinates.
"Yan Mansion, Shen Mansion, and Prince He's Mansion."
"Go ahead and contact the other party for me. Tell them that I have a deal I want to discuss with them." Li Yunrui waved his hand gracefully and ordered in a deep voice.
The eunuch understood and realized that the most likely possibility was the prince's palace, after all, the princess had just sold Fan Xian.
Now that the prince is not at home, doesn't she, as a woman, worry about being retaliated by Fan Xian?
I guess there is an expert in the mansion.
"Yes."
The eunuch received the order and left.
Somehow, Li Yunrui felt an uncomfortable feeling filling his heart. This feeling had no reason, but it was also unsettling.
Forcing herself to suppress the discomfort, she regained her former confidence.
She believed that the deal with Ang Lee would go smoothly.
Everything in this world is valuable. If you cannot impress the other party, the only thing missing is that the benefits you offer are not enough!
And she, Li Yunrui, is the one who can afford the reward the most!
