Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Love, Hate or Gain

Although Xuanyu Division has integrated the soldiers from the Huwei Camp, in order for all of them to work for Xiao Qi, they must obtain the consent of the General's Mansion.

Before Xiao Qi came, he thought that he would need to talk a lot before he could get the command from Jiang Jue, but he didn't expect that Mrs. Ning, the first person he met, could see through his plan in just a few words.

Mrs. Ning was dressed in ordinary clothes. Although she was not young, she still had black hair. Her eyes were clear. After wiping away her tears, she sorted out the mess and gave orders without even Jiang Jue having any objections. It was obvious that she was not just a general's wife.

This reminded Xiao Qi of a few words he had heard, saying that although Mrs. Ning was not from a high family background, she was skilled in mechanism skills and had improved many weapons. However, she could not claim credit for her craftsmanship, but her prestige in the Zhenxi Army was not as high as

The general is low.

"The Tiger Guard Camp can be left under your command. I have heard about your time in the Xuanyu Division. Wynn values ​​you very much, so we also believe in you."

Mrs. Ning smiled, but it seemed forced in her sadness.

"In the capital, the Tiger Guard Camp will be more useful in your hands. In addition, I will hand over the secret guards and other close associates of the General's Mansion to you. There is only one thing you must keep in mind."

"Ma'am, please speak."

Xiao Qi stood upright and bowed respectfully. Not only for the trust of the General's Office, but also for the fact that in order to protect Wei Huai'en, they did not hesitate to hand over the most important power to him.

Everyone knows that if Wei Huai'en's identity is exposed, the lives of everyone involved in this cover-up will be in danger.

But Xiao Qi is not afraid, and neither is the General's Mansion.

"No matter what the final result is, you must protect Wynn, even if she can only survive."

Ning Yu stood up, helped Xiao Qi up, and squeezed his shoulders heavily.

Xiao Qi was shocked, and he understood the determination in her words when their eyes met. He looked around and saw the same determination on the faces of Jiang Jue and Jiang Hong.

They even came over and patted him on the shoulder, as if he was a soldier with a heavy responsibility, ordinary but important.

He was even a little jealous of Wei Huai'en. The general's government's support for her was only a little lost on him, an eunuch, and it made him feel hot in his heart and hot in his eyes.

But there was no time to say anything more. Xiao Qi bowed again, took a small bronze talisman from Jiang Jue and put it away properly before leaving the general's mansion.

"Father, mother."

After Jiang Hong saw him leaving, he wanted to tell his parents about his intention to help. Jiang Jue waved his hand.

"Go ahead and be careful. It's best to kill that thief Yan Weiguang with your own hands."

"yes!"

Jiang Hong shook the hand extended by his mother and left the front hall.

Mrs. Ning sighed and walked back to the backyard with Jiang Jue holding hands. The tears that had just stopped filled her eyes again.

"My Wynn, my yoyo, she must be in so much pain."

Ning Yu's heart breaks when she thinks of Xiao Qi's description.

"I really want to go to the East Palace to accompany her, but, but..."

Jiang Jue took her and sat on the small couch, clumsily wiping her tears.

"Madam, don't be sad. We've seen Youyou's temper since she was a child. She will definitely be able to survive it.

The worst case scenario is that we will rebel and kill Yan Weiguang first and then let this girl become the emperor."

"Okay, no matter what, this revenge must be avenged!"

Mrs. Ning was perked up by his words, and she and Jiang Jue discussed who in King Duan's faction should be careful to guard against. She did not feel at all that this was such a treasonous topic.

Perhaps because when they are willing to put their life and death at risk to protect their loved ones, there are no rules and regulations. Regardless of success or failure, there is nothing they dare not do.

Fortunately, the surveillance outside the Dingyuan Hou Mansion never relaxed, and Xiao Qi quickly confirmed that Yan Weiguang had not passed the news to anyone after he left.

This temporarily allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief. Then he used the tiger guard camp and secret guards to surround the Dingyuan Hou Mansion openly and covertly. No matter the front door, back door, side door or side door, even the roads leading to Dingyuan Hou Mansion were blocked.

Strictly monitored.

Jiang Hong also had several archers guarding the sky and would not let a single bird come and go.

After the deployment was completed, Xiao Qi planned to lead his men into the Dingyuan Hou Mansion and burn everything to the ground as soon as it got dark.

Although he wanted to live and stay with Wei Huai'en for a long time, at this time, he had to risk his life for her.

"Squeak——"

The heavy red door opened, and the steward of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion came out. He bowed to Xiao Qi who was riding a black horse from afar and said loudly: "My Lord Marquis invites Deputy Xiao to come to the house alone to talk."

Jiang Hong, who was guarding a high place, immediately exchanged a look with Xiao Qi. He wanted Xiao Qi to stay where he was. Anyway, the entire Dingyuan Marquis Mansion would turn into ashes when it gets dark, so why should Xiao Qi take risks now?

But Xiao Qi shook his head, dismounted from his horse, and was led into the Dingyuan Hou Mansion by the steward.

"Deputy Ambassador Xiao, we meet again."

Yan Weiguang was wearing a loose robe, sitting crookedly on the main seat, eating grapes from the ice bowl. Obviously, compared to the embarrassment and haste of Wei Huai'en, he was more leisurely.

I just don’t know if this is because Youran has another trump card, or if she is pretending to be calm and trying to confuse Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi did not show any courtesy, sneered, pulled up a low stool and sat in the middle of the flower hall.

"Yan Weiguang, your good days are over. Our family is going to die. If I can kill you to make my master feel at ease, this life will be worth it.

Or you might as well kill me now and then wait for my people to come in and kill you."

"It's really unlucky for Deputy Ambassador Xiao to keep talking about whether to kill or not. Why don't you listen to my terms first before making a decision? It's not too late, isn't it?

Come, show Deputy Xiao some tea."

Yan Weiguang was neither impatient nor impatient, and even patiently peeled off the skins and cores of the grapes before putting them in his mouth, not as if he was eating them, but more as if he was doing it for the process.

"What's there to talk about when death is imminent, Yan Weiguang, how many lives do you think you have enough to die?"

Xiao Qi did not accept the tea, and the maid did not dare to move away without orders, so she could only stand beside him holding the teacup.

"Of course I only have one life. Deputy Xiao is really good at joking."

Yan Weiguang didn't feel Xiao Qi's provocation was offensive at all, and even laughed out loud. Hearing this, Xiao Qi burst into anger and resisted the urge to draw his sword.

"But Deputy Ambassador Xiao should calm down and listen carefully. Anyway, it's still early before dark, so we are not in a hurry."

"We don't have time to spend time with you here."

Xiao Qi stood up and walked out. If he stayed for a little longer, he was really afraid that he would do something.

Yan Weiguang was not stupid. As soon as Xiao Qi entered the door, he noticed that there were many people hiding around the flower hall and on the roof. If he was angered by his calmness, he would never be able to escape intact.

Even though he didn't care that killing Yan Weiguang might cost him his life, when he had a chance to survive and return to Wei Huai'en, he didn't want to try this useless trick.

"Don't you want to stay with Wei Huai'en forever?"

Yan Weiguang's voice was not loud, but Xiao Qi, who had a very good hearing, stopped in his tracks, but only for a moment before he continued to cross the threshold.

"I know your conditions."

Xiao Qi stood in the courtyard and turned around, his expression of solemnity was incompatible with the flowers in Dingyuan Hou Mansion.

"When the birds are gone, a good bow is hidden. You want me to leave you a way to survive, so that my master will always rely on me to fight with you and King Duan.

But I don’t want a future, Yan Weiguang, I just want you to die.”

"Hehehehehe..."

Yan Weiguang seemed to have heard some funny joke. He laughed so much that he fell from his seat to the ground. After he stopped laughing, he simply sat on the ground and spoke.

"Deputy Ambassador Xiao is so righteous. In order to kill me, he even put pressure on himself. Wei Huai'en would be so touched when he found out.

But if you care about her so much, you have real feelings for her, right? You are a eunuch, are you worthy? Hahahahaha..."

Yan Weiguang's unscrupulous ridicule was also heard by the guards everywhere. Suddenly, the laughter of many people reached Xiao Qi's ears, causing his mind to be completely broken and then tortured in the light.

"Isn't a eunuch worthy of liking a princess?"

"Hahaha, what can this rootless thing do if he likes it?"

"That's right, it's really disgusting..."

Xiao Qi was so angry that he was trembling all over, and the self-esteem he had managed to wrap around his body was shattered to pieces by the ridicule and belittling.

He stood here alone listening to the insult, his teeth chattering, his hand already pressed on the hilt of the sword.

Just when Xiao Qi was about to die together with Yan Weiguang, a somewhat embarrassed Li Kong suddenly walked into the flower hall from behind with Qin in his arms.

"How did you escape? Who released you?"

Yan Weiguang suddenly lost his calm, stood up on his hands and questioned him loudly.

Li Kong saluted, lowered his eyes and said calmly: "The backyard is in a mess. Li Kong knows that Lord Marquis is in trouble and is willing to stay with you."

"Do I need you? Go back to the backyard!"

Although he said this, Yan Weiguang's tone was not reproachful at all, but full of worry and anxiety.

He walked up to Li Kong, carefully wiped the bit of dust on his face with his fingers, and whispered: "Go back, it's dangerous here."

"Yes, Li Kong knows, Lord Marquis must be careful."

Li Kong nodded obediently, and for the first time since his toughness that day, he had a good look towards Yan Weiguang, which even made him wonder whether Li Kong's betrayal was his fantasy.

But it was inconvenient to go into details now. He couldn't turn his back to Xiao Qi for too long, so he nodded, turned around and walked in the direction of Xiao Qi.
