Chapter 270 The Eve of the Mutiny
Luo Lingyue received a letter from Jian Hun on her way back to Nanyi. She quickly unfolded the letter, glanced through it hastily, and her face became a little gloomy.
Xiao Jinghan noticed her change in expression and asked nervously, "What happened?"
Luo Lingyue's eyes flickered slightly, and she answered evasively: "Mu San helped the Li sisters sterilize the prince!"
After hearing this, Xiao Jinghan showed a hint of surprise on his face, but soon returned to normal.
He smiled and said, "Mr. Mu is really a ruthless man! But it's good this way, the King of Qin will have less trouble in the future. How can a prince who can't give birth to an heir be the emperor? Haha! Your deputy pavilion master is really a talent!"
Luo Lingyue frowned and said with a firm look in her eyes: "I'm afraid that a major change will happen in the capital. We must speed up the process of recovering Nanyi and cannot delay any longer!"
Xiao Jinghan looked at Luo Lingyue's serious expression and solemn tone, and knew in his heart that she had something else to say.
Xiao Jinghan's eyes instantly turned cold and ruthless. He clenched his fists tightly and said in a low and firm voice: "It's time to completely solve this trouble of Xiao Jingyi! We will return to Nanyi immediately and take action!"
They decided to set off immediately and rush back to Nanyi as quickly as possible. Along the way, they discussed countermeasures.
Xiao Jingyi sat in the study, holding a military book in his hand, but his eyes looked out the window from time to time. He felt a little uneasy because he had received the news that Xiao Jinghan had returned to the city, but he had not seen them return to the palace yet. This made him feel very confused and worried.
Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard, and a guard hurriedly walked into the study, saluted Xiao Jingyi and said, "Marshal! Prince Wu'an and the princess did not return to the mansion, but went to Shen Xu's mansion!"
Hearing this, Xiao Jingyi frowned, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. He put down the military book in his hand, stood up, walked to the window, looked at the sky in the distance, and after thinking for a moment, asked: "Why are they going there?"
The guard bowed his head and replied, "I don't know, but according to our people's report, Prince Wu'an and the Princess seem very anxious!"
Xiao Jingyi sneered, with a trace of disdain in his eyes: "Going to the mansion of an old immortal who is about to enter the coffin, hum! Does he still expect that old immortal to help him?"
The guard didn't dare to say much, but just stood quietly by the side, waiting for Xiao Jingyi's instructions.
Xiao Jingyi turned around and sat back at the desk, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, thinking about his next move. He knew Shen Xu's influence very well, and if Xiao Jinghan got his support, it would be a huge threat to him.
After a while, Xiao Jingyi raised his head and said to the guards: "Continue to send people to monitor their movements and report any situation to me immediately. In addition, find out what they want to do and whether they have any conspiracy."
The guard nodded in agreement and then left. Xiao Jingyi picked up the military book again and tried to calm down, but the doubts and worries in his heart still lingered.
While comforting himself, he secretly thought: Humph, that old guy Shen Xu has been poisoned by me, he won't live long! He hasn't had any contact with the generals of the Xiao family army in the past few years, what can he do to help Xiao Jinghan? ! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.
If I had known this earlier, I should have poisoned him a few years ago and let him die sooner, instead of letting him live for so many extra years!
At this time, Xiao Jinghan, Luo Lingyue, Xi Ruming and their group had just arrived at the Shen Mansion and rushed to General Shen's room without stopping.
Shang Lu and Xiao Xiao had been waiting by General Shen's bed with solemn expressions. When they saw Xiao Jinghan and others coming, Shang Lu immediately stood up and saluted, reporting to Xiao Jinghan: "Master, Master's Wife, Dr. Xi! General Shen is very poisoned!"
Xi Ruming hurried forward to check the situation and said to everyone, "Leave General Shen to me! Go to the outer room to discuss things. Remember, no one is allowed to come in without my permission. I need to concentrate on detoxifying General Shen!"
Xiao Jinghan and the others went directly to the outer room. Xiao Xiao said with a smug look on his face, "I have already eliminated all of Xiao Jingyi's secret agents in the Shen Mansion!"
Shang Lu then said: "In the Xiao family army, Shang Zhi and the Black Sword Team have already taken control of Xiao Jingyi's confidants! Du Zhong led his brothers and the Black Hawk Team to ambush in the palace and can capture Xiao Jingyi at any time!"
Hearing this, Xiao Jinghan frowned slightly and said with some concern: "Xiao Jingyi is very skilled in martial arts, so you must not forcefully attack! In order to avoid causing unnecessary casualties."
Shang Lu took out half a tiger talisman from his arms, handed it to Xiao Jinghan, and said with a smile: “This is the half tiger talisman that the ghost hand stole from Xiao Jingyi!”
Xiao Jinghan took the tiger talisman, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he exclaimed: "The ghost hand is really powerful!" He knew the importance of this half tiger talisman. With it, they would be able to take more initiative.
An unfathomable smile appeared on Luo Lingyue's lips. She reached out and took out the half tiger talisman from her arms and handed it to Xiao Jinghan.
Xiao Jinghan's eyes suddenly froze, and he seemed to be frozen. After a moment, he came back to his senses, his eyes full of astonishment and confusion: "This half of the tiger talisman... I clearly remember that I have given it to Emperor Wen!"
Luo Lingyue sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "Humph, we worked so hard to cheat half a tiger talisman from Xiao Jingyi, how can we just give it to that old thing Emperor Wen so easily! What we handed over was just a fake one!"
Xiao Jinghan stared at her with eyes wide open, looking at her in disbelief, with a somewhat speechless expression on his face: "You... you actually dared to deceive Emperor Wen, this is a crime of deceiving the emperor!"
Luo Lingyue curled her lips indifferently and said nonchalantly: "When a general is away from home, he is not subject to military orders! What's more, the emperor is far away in the capital and can't control us at all! Don't worry, the fake tiger talisman is very realistic, he will definitely not be able to tell it is fake!"
Xiao Xiao looked at Xiao Jinghan firmly and said, "Prince Xiao, many families of Nanyi generals are controlled by Xiao Jingyi. It may be difficult to get them to rebel against Xiao Jingyi!"
Xiao Jinghan raised his eyebrows and said in a cold tone: "These families have all been rescued by my people and placed in a safe place!"
After hearing this, Xiao Xiao's eyes flashed with surprise. She didn't expect Xiao Jinghan to have such powerful strength and means. Being able to rescue all the families quietly under Xiao Jingyi's nose, it seems that Xiao Jinghan had already started planning!
Xiao Xiao suddenly bent her knees, fell to her knees with a plop, and begged in a tearful voice, "Prince Xiao! Can you let me be present when the villain is punished this time? I want to see him die with my own eyes!"
Xiao Jinghan frowned and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Xiao! Xiao Jingyi owes your father a life! I promise you that I will publicly try him at that time! I will report this matter to the court and vindicate your father! Then, you can live in Nanyi as the descendant of a loyal minister!"
