...
In the endless darkness, the passage of time is an extremely intriguing thing.
It had only been half an hour, but Xi Le already felt that days and nights had passed, as if Zhao Wujiang had forgotten her, and she had lost the opportunity to bargain with Zhao Wujiang.
With a "squeak", the door was pushed open, and Zhao Wujiang's steady footsteps gradually approached. Xi Le's eyes suddenly lit up. She wanted to know the outcome of An Ping.
She had already thought clearly that the top priority was to save Anping first.
"I can't tell that he likes you so much..." Zhao Wujiang smiled lightly and did not light the lamp.
Joy's heart trembled, not knowing Anping's current state:
"What's up with him?"
"Not dead..." Zhao Wujiang rubbed his fingers:
"Do you want to say it?"
A sigh came from the darkness:
"I said..."
...
Kyoto, west of the city, the residence of Prince Xiaoyao.
study.
Xiaoyao Wang leisurely reads ancient Chinese, writes and paints.
But several hours passed, and the sky gradually darkened, and he did not receive any news of peace or joy.
This couldn't help but make him feel solemn.
On weekdays, whether Anping or Xihe went out to do errands, news would be delivered back within an hour at the latest, but today it had been several hours.
Could it be that something happened? King Xiaoyao's heart moved, and then he continued to cast his eyes into the ancient prose.
There are two kinds of accidents, either Anping and others are killed when encountering a strong person, or Anping and others are captured.
But he didn't care. The Qianlong Sect was very powerful and had many guardians. He just wanted to recruit more of them to the capital.
At the same time, he was not worried about Anping and others leaking information that would be detrimental to him after being captured. After all, with Loulan Gu around, secrets would only lead to death.
...
"The purpose of eliminating the underground gangs in Kyoto is to control the forces in Kyoto except the imperial city, so as to facilitate future operations..." After Xi Le revealed the last secret, he slowly closed his eyes, feeling both pain and relief.
"I can analyze it." Zhao Wujiang said lightly. He just said a lot of things, but many of them overlapped with Wu Qanyang's news:
"You two are Xuanyuan Yuheng's personal guardians, right?"
"Yes..." Joy slumped. She knew she couldn't go back. Although Zhao Wujiang had promised not to kill Anping, they couldn't go back to the Qianlong Sect and could only hide in the world.
King Xiaoyao took Anping with him when he broke into the Dijiao Gang. The person who wanted to kill me in front of the imperial city that day was also Anping. This Anping is already considered one of King Xiaoyao's confidants. He should know more information... ...Zhao Wujiang thought in his heart that he must press for more useful information.
...
In the underground secret room, Anping stared blankly, and kept making hoarse roars from his throat.
Finally, he saw Zhao Wujiang coming, and he immediately became anxious, his body was shaking constantly, and he was moaning, wanting to speak.
Zhao Wujiang looked indifferent, made a fist with his right hand, and punched out.
"boom!"
The chest of the protector in black collapsed and blood spurted out from his mouth and nose. He couldn't believe why Zhao Wujiang did it to him without asking him. His eyes were distracted. The last words he heard after he died were:
"I promised Xihe, I won't kill you."
This sentence is said to Anping.
Anping looked horrified and even more panicked. Zhao Wujiang promised Xi Le not to kill him. What happened to Xi Le? Could it be that it has been tainted?
Zhao Wujiang pulled out the silver needle from Anping's throat, and Anping roared hoarsely:
"Zhao Wujiang, where is Xile?"
"She and Wu Qanyang have said everything that needs to be said. You are of no value anymore." Zhao Wujiang spread his hands:
"But she traded her life for yours..."
"Who said I'm worthless?" Anping looked painful and his face was trembling:
"I have value, I have value, I have it!"
"Oh, what value do you have? They both said everything they needed to say." Zhao Wujiang sneered:
"Don't worry, I keep my word. I promised her I won't kill you, so I won't do anything to you. Don't worry."
"I do, Zhao Wujiang, I really do! I know a lot of information that they don't know. Really, where is she? Where is she? Where is Xi Leren, Zhao Wujiang! Where is she?"
Anping kept roaring, with a look of fear on his face. He was afraid that Xi Le would die.
Zhao Wujiang clapped his hands, and Jia Ersan appeared at the door of the secret room carrying Xi Le.
"Xi Le, are you okay? Did he do anything to you? Are you okay?" Anping's eyes trembled, and he saw the worry in Xi Le's eyes.
Jia Ersan left with joy, and Anping began to roar:
"Wait, Zhao Wujiang!"
"I'll give you half a cup of tea." Zhao Wujiang rubbed his fingers.
"I know that you are someone close to the emperor, and there is danger in the imperial city." Anping's voice trembled:
"There is also Loulan Gu in the imperial city. There is a No. 10 and a No. 30 hidden. They are going to be detrimental to Dugu Mingyue! There are other Gu insects, big and small..."
Zhao Wujiang felt a thunder in his heart and said coldly:
"anything else?"
"Among the hundreds of officials, there is also Lou Lan Gu, but... I don't know who it is..." Anping saw Zhao Wujiang's face turned frosty:
"Really, I don't know, really I don't know... I think about it... I think about it... there is... there is... Yan Anshen, the minister of the Ministry of Industry... yes... still have..."
