"Now that the opportunity is here, I will help you, and you must help me. Our goal … is the same!"
Gong Chi made his position clear.
The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom was indeed surprised.
He didn't expect this old fox to come prepared.
He was even insidious enough to send someone to spy on him!
He managed to avoid King Huyi's spies, but he couldn't avoid Gong Chi's.
Miscalculation!
He also knew that he couldn't hide it anymore.
Everything had been seen through!
He was silent for a while and asked skeptically, "Then why should I believe you?"
Yes, why? Gong Chi put away the tears and hatred in his eyes and said honestly, "If I really wanted to harm you, I wouldn't have come here. I would have gone straight to the Second Duke and told him about the assassins. If that's the case, then the person who came to your residence now is not me!
It's someone from the Ministry of Justice! "
Indeed!
If Gong Chi really wanted to harm someone, he wouldn't have come here.
He would have gone straight to the Second Duke.
But the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom still looked at him warily and asked, "If that's the case, why did you choose me?" Gong Chi took a deep breath, guilt and remorse on his face. "The siege of the palace has always been a knot in my heart! In fact, before besieging the palace, I hesitated for a long time. The late king had always trusted me, which was why he gave me the military power inside and outside the imperial city. But I betrayed him for greater power. I was blind to make such a big mistake, causing the lives of the scholars to be lost! As the saying goes, you reap what you sow! And the death of Shilin made me completely understand. I want to make up for the mistake I made in the past.
The only person I can think of is you, Marquis. As long as we work together, I will avenge Shilin, and you will be the new King of Huyi. When that time comes, I will go into seclusion. "
It was as if he had arranged everything from start to finish.
As long as he could get revenge, he was willing to die.
And the position of King of Huyi would be taken by the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom.
The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom didn't tell him the news that the late King's sons were still alive. Gong Chi saw that the Marquis didn't say anything and continued, "Marquis, you have been hiding for more than twenty years and plotting for more than twenty years. I believe the forces outside Gaoding City are not small! After all, I was a Great General back then, and my authority was still there. As long as I said the word, those scattered everywhere would be dispersed.
All the soldiers and horses will be used by me, and they will fight to the death for me! "
After hearing this, the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom took a few steps in the hall.
He pondered for a long time.
At the end of the day, he could not easily believe Gong Chi's words.
So —
After a short while, he said, "You want me to believe you? You have to show me your sincerity."
"Sincerity? Haven't I already expressed my sincerity by coming here today? " "Since you also know that the assassins who tried to assassinate Second Wangye entered my mansion last night, I won't hide it from you. One of them didn't come out. He was captured by Second Wangye and is now in the mansion. I sent people to search for him, but they almost turned the whole mansion upside down.
We couldn't find him, and no one came out last night. "
Gong Chi immediately understood what he meant. "You want me to help you save that person?"
"If you can do it, then I believe you! This is the condition! "The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom's tone did not have the slightest intention of bargaining.
"Alright! I'll help you save him. "
"How are you going to save him?"
"Didn't you say that he couldn't be found in the mansion and didn't come out? If that's the case, he must still be in the mansion, hiding somewhere. "
Uh!
The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom said, "You mean … there's a secret chamber in the mansion?"
"That's the only explanation. Anyway, I'll save him. I hope that when the time comes, Marquis will be honest with me. "
The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom looked at him thoughtfully.
He wanted to say something, but stopped.
After Gong Chi left the mansion, he said something to the person next to the palanquin.
"I understand."
"Hurry up and do it."
"Yes."
…
In less than half an hour, a piece of news reached the Third Wangye Mansion.
At this time, Tuo was playing chess.
There were white pieces and black pieces next to him.
He picked up a white piece and placed it on the chessboard. Because he was too focused, the moment the white piece was placed, he urged, "Shilin, it's your turn."
As soon as he finished speaking, his expression froze.
His gaze moved up bit by bit, looking at the opposite side.
But there was no one on the opposite stone chair!
That feeling of emptiness was like several needles pricking his chest.
He didn't want to play chess anymore!
He picked up the black and white pieces on the chessboard and placed them into the chess cup.
At this time, a man in black quickly came to report, "Your Highness, there's something important."
It was very urgent.
Tuo picked up the chess pieces and asked, "What is it?"
"The spy reported that there's a secret chamber in the Second Wangye Mansion!"
"What did you say? Secret chamber? "
"Yes."
The chess piece fell from Tuo's fingers and he suddenly stood up, smiling proudly, "It's a big crime to have a secret chamber in the mansion. That Yan really isn't afraid of death!"
The man asked, "Your Highness, what do we do now? Should we report to the King? "
"No need!" Tuo raised his hand and asked, "Are you sure about this?"
"They say it's suspicious."
"Then it's uncertain!" Tuo pondered, "We can't inform Father about this first, we have to find evidence."
The man was puzzled, "Does Your Highness want to go to the Second Wangye Mansion?"
"Of course! Immediately organize people to go with me to the Second Wangye Mansion and search carefully, lest Yan gets wind of it and makes preparations in advance, so that I won't be able to find anything. "
"Yes!"
Tuo had always been the kind of person who did what he said.
And he was also a straightforward person!
Anyway, it would be good if they found anything, but if they couldn't, then it would be a sweep.
At the same time, Na Yan also received the news.
"The Third Wangye heard that there's a secret chamber in the mansion, so he's bringing people to search it." His guard said.
"Bang!" Na Yan slammed the table, "How dare he! Since he dares to bring people to search this Wangye Mansion, even if Father gives the order, he has to give me some face!"
"Then what should we do now? With the Third Wangye's temper, he would rather kill the wrong person than let the wrong person go, so he will definitely find a way to search. If he really found it, then … "
"Good! Doesn't he want to search? Then let him search to his heart's content. "
"Your Highness, what do you mean?"
"Then let him come empty-handed!"
"But the assassin is still locked in the secret chamber."
Na Yan thought for a moment, "Immediately send him out of the mansion, and hide him somewhere else for the time being."
"Yes. "
"But remember, if he still doesn't want to talk, then kill him tonight."
"This subordinate understands. What about the secret chamber?"
"I have a way. Go and hide him first."
"Yes!"
The guard hurried to do his job.
