Chapter 166: Preparing to Leave Beijing

Early in the morning of the second day, the ghost-faced fox assassinated Zhou An again, causing a sensation in Qianjing City!

This time it will be more sensational than the last time, because the ghost-faced fox actually entered the palace to assassinate this time, you know, since the assassination of Princess Yunjing, the palace Ouchi has become more heavily guarded, and the empress has completely eliminated the dissidents in Ouchi, making it impossible for Ouchi to have someone to cooperate with the ghost-faced fox, and Ouchi's protective power is also several times stronger than before.

Under such circumstances, if the Pure Land Sect were allowed to do it again, they were afraid that they would not even be able to see Princess Yunjing's face, and they would be found to be besieged and killed.

But in this case, the ghost-faced fox actually entered the palace to assassinate, although it was not Princess Yunjing who assassinated, but it was also the eunuch who the current empress relied on the most, and the difficulty of assassinating Zhou An was not much lower than that of assassinating the princess, but even so, the ghost-faced fox still retreated.

It's terrifying, and it lives up to the name of the world's number one assassin.

There is even more terrifying, that is Zhou An, and he is not dead!

Ghost-faced fox has never missed since its debut, although there have been cases where the first assassination failed and the second time was killed, but there has never been a second assassination that did not succeed, and no one can withstand the two assassinations of the ghost-faced fox.

Zhou An is the first and only one.

It is very humiliating to be assassinated twice in a row by the same person, and both let the assassin escape, but because the assassin is a ghost-faced fox, this matter is still not ashamed, and even boosted Zhou An's fame.

……

For the next few days, Zhou An never left the palace.

It's not that the East Factory can't run without him, even if he doesn't go to the East Factory in person, he can still command it remotely.

Zhou An did not show up for many days, claiming to be recuperating from his injuries, but in fact this is not the case.

He was secretly preparing to leave Beijing.

Although there is no follow-up news on King Rongjun's side, Zhou An doesn't think that King Rongjun can catch Prince Ning, King Rongjun's energy is extremely great, and he is one of the most powerful feudal officials in Dongqian today, not a vassal king, but a vassal king. But if it is said that his energy and power are limited to the Yourong State, out of the Yourong State, he will not be so useful.

In today's world, if you say that the most influential and energetic is naturally Wu Xukuan!

Prince Ning's entry into Beijing was arranged by Wu Xukuan, King Rong Jun has already startled the snake, Wu Xukuan will inevitably make more arrangements, in this case, the possibility of him being able to catch Prince Ning is very small.

Therefore, Zhou An wants to leave the capital.

He wants to personally arrest Prince Ning, and the reason why he wants to leave Beijing is not limited to this, he also has to deal with the collusion between the secret guards and the local government, and there is also about the ghost-faced fox!

Zhou An can't sit still, he has to design to catch or kill the ghost-faced fox.

And in Qianjing City, this matter is very difficult to do, if he is laid out in the palace, the ghost-faced fox will probably not appear again, as long as the ghost-faced fox is not stupid, he will definitely be able to think of it, if he sneaks into the palace to assassinate again, he will definitely not be able to get out.

And if he is outside the palace, Zhou An will be followed by a large number of people when he leaves the palace, this is for his safety, safety is safe, but he will also be monitored, Wu Xukuan's people are staring at him, so it is difficult for him to lay out in Qianjing City without leaking the news.

You can only leave Beijing.

Zhou An wants to lure the ghost-faced fox out of Qianjing City and arrange a counter-killing of the ghost-faced fox outside, this matter is very urgent, Zhou An doesn't know when the ghost-faced fox will make the next move, and he can't always live carefully, and he can't guarantee whether he can survive the next assassination of the ghost-faced fox.

So he has to take the initiative!

He wants to put an end to the myth of the ghost-faced fox, which is one of the reasons why he must leave Beijing.

******

The nineteenth day of the lunar month, in the afternoon.

Zhou An was alchemizing, and the small pavilion was reported outside the door, and the empress summoned him. Zhou An hurriedly came to Qianwu Palace, and the empress only summoned Zhou An alone. Not even Kang Longji.

Inside the Qianyuan Palace.

"Slaves see the saint." After Zhou An entered the bead curtain, he saluted respectfully to the empress.

"Let's see." The empress directly handed over a secret letter to Zhou An.

It is the secret letter of King Rongjun.

Naturally, it was about Prince Ning, this was the third time that King Rong Jun had secretly reported this matter to the empress, and as Zhou An expected, the people arranged by King Rong County still did not catch Prince Ning, and there were still some clues before, but now there are no clues, and Prince Ning has completely disappeared.

However, King Rong Jun still found something valuable.

He found out that among the people who escorted Prince Ning, there were people from the Pure Land Sect! This was very unexpected by the empress and Zhou An, neither of them expected that Wu Xukuan would dare to use the people of the Pure Land Sect, could it be that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water? Anyway, the collusion with the Demon Sect has been exposed, so he doesn't care.

But even if he didn't care, he wasn't afraid that Prince Ning would bear the name of colluding with the Demon Sect?

Perhaps, it really doesn't matter to him, Prince Ning is his pawn, he wants to support Prince Ning to ascend the throne as the emperor, what he needs is just an obedient puppet emperor, even if this puppet emperor has a bad reputation, it doesn't matter, after all, Prince Ning is the crown prince set up by Emperor Xuanzong, and he occupies the righteousness.

However, although this may not matter to Wu Xukuan, it is of great significance to the empress!

Because, if you can sit on the matter of Prince Ning's collusion with the Demon Sect, even if the empress kills Prince Ning, it seems that it will be nothing, it will belong to the righteous annihilation! Even if some people still don't understand the empress, the people in the rivers and lakes must understand the empress, and they will even applaud!

As far as the world is concerned, the spread of news mainly depends on the mouths of the people in the rivers and lakes, and ordinary people will not go to the world, and rarely leave their own one-third of an acre.

In other words, as long as the people in the rivers and lakes think that the empress is right, then even if the empress kills her brother, she will not bear the stigma of the Son of Heaven's immorality.

……

Zhou An quickly read the secret letter.

The empress seemed very calm, when the king of Rongjun came in secret letters two times before, the empress had gathered a group of henchmen to discuss the matter, and she couldn't calm down at all, but this time, the situation was obviously worse, but the empress only found Zhou Anlai.

She obviously realized that it was difficult to negotiate the result of this matter with a group of people, and Prince Ning was the elder brother of the empress, because of this relationship, Gao Hong and they were very cautious in what they said.

Only Zhou An is not afraid.

Zhou An had already said that he would kill Prince Ning, and he revealed that he wanted to take the blame for the empress.

So this time, the empress only asked Zhou An to come over.

"Xiao Anzi, what do you think...... How? The empress looked at Zhou Andao.

"Holy Lord, the slave thinks that the matter has come to this point, and there is no hope on King Rongjun's side." Zhou An opened his mouth, and said with a solemn expression: "The slave asks for his life, he is willing to leave Beijing to arrest Prince Ning, the slave is willing to vouch for his own head, and will never let Prince Ning enter the Qianjing City, if possible, the slave will capture Prince Ning alive, if not, the slave will also let Prince Ning die unknowingly, and all the consequences arising therefrom, the slave is willing to bear it!" ”

Zhou An is serious.

"Your head? Excuse me......" The empress looked at Zhou An, her expression was a little subtle, and she pondered for a while before she said: "Indeed, it is not good for King Rong's side to do things, I am afraid that I really have to let you go in person, but ...... The matter of the Baijiang Army has not yet been resolved, and the situation in the capital is extremely unstable, if you leave, I am afraid that ......"

"Holy Lord, the minions are not leaving now, if the matter of the Baijiang Army cannot be resolved, and the comeback of the old marshal cannot check and balance Wu Xukuan, the minions will naturally not leave Beijing." Zhou Anma said.

The empress groaned, she didn't want Zhou An to go, Kang Longji's body was worse day by day, only from the perspective of being able to do things, Zhou An was the empress's number one confidant and the most relied on person.

Seriously, Zhou An's existence can already bring a sense of security to the empress.

"Holy Lord, don't worry, the slave must first take care of the affairs of the Jingshi before leaving." Zhou An took the initiative to speak again.

"Hmm...... Come on, the affairs of the capital are done, and I will allow you to leave the capital to arrest Prince Ning. The Empress finally nodded.

It's done!

Zhou Anxin was overjoyed.

In fact, he has a very, very important purpose for leaving Beijing! That's about the rights of Yu Dongchang! Dongchang does not have the right to arrest, and this time, as long as Zhou An leaves Beijing to arrest Prince Ning, he can logically get the right to arrest Dongchang!

And now, the empress has agreed to leave Beijing.

Just wait to solve the matter of the Baijiang Army!
