Chapter 880: The Captive
It's just that they didn't expect that in the palace, someone actually used drugs on the two of them in the dining room in broad daylight.
The man wanted to kidnap Xiaobai and the magpie, but the ghost animal happened to see it.
The ghost beast rushed into the dining room, and only then did the three of them get caught.
At that time, Si Bai wanted to inform Yue Xingran and Yu Chihan, but he was worried, so he lost the trace of Xiao Bai and the three of them.
After much thought, he went straight after the captive.
It wasn't until he came to Cining Palace that he realized that in broad daylight, the perpetrator turned out to be the Queen Mother.
Si Bai saw that the Queen Mother ordered someone to give the magpie and Xiaobai, and the ghost animal ate the soft tendons, and ordered someone to beat them severely, and then the interrogation began.
Si Bai hid in the shadows, wanting to seek an opportunity to save people, but when the Queen Mother took the three of them to the dormitory, he realized that there were already many people in ambush in the dormitory.
At this moment, if he wants to save people, he will definitely not be able to do it alone.
So he thought of holding Yuan Zhan hostage and forcing the Queen Mother to release him.
After coming to the imperial study, he has been quietly waiting for the opportunity.
Until someone shouted that there were assassins in Cining Palace, and the Praetorian Guards rushed towards that side one by one.
He thought it was strange at the time, because even if there were assassins in Cining Palace, these people should not ignore Yuan Zhan's life.
So he quietly hid in the dark, knocked out a Praetorian Guard, dragged him to the dark, woke him up again, and asked for the reason.
Only then did he know that the Empress Dowager had personally decreed that whoever could catch the assassin Wei Chihan would be canonized immediately.
Most of the people in the Praetorian Guard came from ordinary people's families.
No matter who it is, if anyone captures Wei Chihan this time, it will be the first person in the Southern Dynasty to be canonized as a waiter without any background.
In the face of interests, bold people naturally seize the opportunity and keep rushing forward.

Yuan Zhan wanted to delay time, and deliberately asked again: "Who are you?" ”
Obviously, he had already guessed just now that Si Bai was Wei Chihan's person, and now he asked such a question again, did he really think Si Bai was an idiot?
"Huh." Si Bai sneered, and suddenly saw through Yuan Zhan's tricks, and said: "Don't play tricks in front of me, otherwise I will be excited, and the dagger will cut your neck, I don't care." ”
"If you want money, I can give you money, no matter how much you want." Yuan Zhan could already feel a trickle of blood flowing down his neck.
He didn't want to die, so what he could do at the moment was to satisfy Si Bai's desires.
-
"Don't think you're stalling for time." Si Bai sneered, held him hostage, and walked forward: "I won't fall for you, if you are honest, I may let you live, otherwise ......"
Otherwise, he will kill him directly when he is useless.
-
The eunuch on the side, and a few guards wanted to come over to rescue the emperor, but they didn't dare to get too close.
"Your Majesty......," the eunuch said with a bitter face.
As Si Bai walked, he had to guard against being attacked behind him.
He looked at the eunuch and the guards, and said, "I advise you not to move, for my dagger is as sharp as clay." ”
If you are a little careless, you will directly cut Yuan Zhan's Adam's apple.
The eunuch stretched out his two hands and blocked in front of the guards: "Don't get too close, the emperor's safety is important." ”
He said to Si Bai, "We won't go over, but you should also be careful of your knives." ”
