Chapter 133: Encountering Old Acquaintances on a Rainy Night (2)
"Ji Ling, what's going on so late?" Lingxi walked into the main hall, and at this time, Wang Shi was standing side by side with another man, this man was wearing a hood, his face could not be seen clearly, and his body was relatively close to Wang Shi.
Although her own martial arts cultivation is not top-notch, Lingxi can be regarded as having practiced with Master Wang for a period of time, and there is no problem with simply judging her breath, she almost immediately felt that this unknown man is also a super master.
"Who is this?" Lingxi raised an eyebrow, waiting for Master Wang to give an explanation.
"An old man I met by chance. Master Wang smiled, and the man knelt down towards her the moment he saw Lingxi.
"See Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!" the man lowered his voice and spoke in a voice that only the three of them could hear, slowly taking off his hood.
"Is that you?" Lingxi frowned, obviously the identity of the person who came was beyond her expectations, "How did you find Ji Ling?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been strictly investigating the entry and exit of Luojing over the years, and I am the one in charge of this. The man smiled and replied, "Therefore, no one who wants to deliver anything to Luo Jing will be able to escape my control. ”
"Does he know our plan?" Lingxi was startled and turned to Master Wang and asked, "Then why don't you kill him right away?"
"Your Highness, don't worry, Lord Lan will not have any impact on our plans, on the contrary, he will help us. ”
"Help us? Do you know what you're talking about? He's Lan Ci! The head of the dark department, the intelligence agency in charge of the entire Tunan, such a person will help us? Have you forgotten what he used to do?" Lingxi was a little angry, although he still kept his voice down, but even his tone couldn't help but be a little more intense.
"Regarding that matter, I hope that Your Highness can listen to my detailed explanation. Lan Ci hurriedly knelt on his knees and just fell in front of Lingxi.
"What else is there to explain, if it weren't for your betrayal, how would I have ended up where I am today?"
"Your Highness, what your subordinates did back then is true for a reason, and I ask Your Highness to believe that I have only been loyal to His Highness in my life, and I will never betray in the past, now, and future!" Lan Ci kowtowed again and again.
"Okay, I'd like to hear what kind of explanation you can give! What is the reason why you want to tell my cowardly and stupid imperial brother everything about my escape! forcing me to marry far away?" Ling Xi laughed angrily, glaring at Lan Ci in front of him with sharp eyes.
She will never forget that when she learned that she was going to marry a relative in the Western Regions, she prepared to flee overnight, and only informed the two cronies around her of the plan, one was Wang Shi, and the other was the chief of the dark department in front of her, the third seat of the dark department at that time, Lan Ci.
Unexpectedly, not long after escaping from the palace, before he could get out of the city gate, he was caught red-handed by the dark guards who had already been ambushed at the city gate, and finally had no choice but to embark on the road of harmony.
If it weren't for the coincidence that he was intercepted by an alien race in the Western Regions on the road, and seized the opportunity to escape from the chaos, I am afraid that he would now become the first eldest princess in the history of Tunan and pro-Western Regions.
"In fact, at that time, Your Majesty already knew that the eldest princess was going to escape, and the palace maids, guards, and grooms arranged by the eldest princess were all Hong Gonggong's people, and the route and timing of His Highness's escape were actually all clear, and they were not informant by Lan Ci!
Lingxi didn't seem to come out of his mouth when he heard what Lan Ci said, so he forcibly suppressed his anger and asked, "Since it's not you, then why didn't you come to me with Master Wang?" You two watched me grow up and were the people I trusted the most. ”
"Actually, I just found out about this matter. Wang Shi on the side suddenly spoke, "Lan Ci was originally from the Western Regions, and those who were intercepted and killed on the road at the beginning were actually arranged by Lan Ci." ”
"Did you arrange it?" Lingxi asked in disbelief.
"Exactly. When I learned that His Royal Highness was captured and returned to the palace, it was actually secretly arranged, and His Majesty's eyes were everywhere in Luojing, and it was really difficult to escape to the sky, and the best way was actually to shoot halfway. ”
Lan Ci wanted to intercept the eldest princess and send someone to Wenjing secretly, but he didn't expect that the strength of the family protection team arranged by His Majesty back then was so strong that it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while, but fortunately, His Royal Highness finally escaped safely. ”
The more Lan Ci spoke, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but raise his head that had been kowtowing, "But Your Highness, since you have escaped, why didn't you go to Wenjing or come back to Tunan, I have been inquiring about the news of Your Highness all these years, where are you?"
"Wenjing, Tunan, hehe, why should I go, these two places are not my home. A lover who only knows Shousheji, and a royal brother who only knows Baojiangshan, where do you want me to go to have a place to stay?"
"I was sent out by His Majesty on a mission back then, but I didn't expect that something happened to His Highness at this time, and then I searched all over Dongzhou before I stumbled upon His Highness's traces. Wang Shi said, "It's understandable that you can't find His Highness, after all, there are few people in the entire Dongzhou where His Highness is located." ”
"Could it be, White Emperor City?" Lan Ci asked tentatively.
If you can't find the intelligence network of the dark department in the south of the country, there must be only that place.
Wang Shi nodded, and Lingxi's expression had regained his calm at this time.
"So, are you still loyal to me?" Lingxi stared at Lan Ci in front of him.
The chief of the dark department, this identity is really too useful, with the help of Lan Ci, almost all the eyeliner information in Luo Jing can be used for his own use, and it may become a decisive factor when the plan is implemented.
"Of course, Lan Ci will always be used by His Majesty, and there will be no second thoughts. ”
"I can trust you in the past, and as long as you are faithful in the future, I will not mention it again, if I find out that you have the slightest unusual behavior."
"I'll make you regret knowing me. ”
After Lan Ci disappeared into the night, Lingxi suddenly asked, "Ji Ling, do you think Lan Ci can be trusted?"
"Believe me, Your Highness, although his martial arts cultivation is not the top, Lan Ci's hidden kung fu can be said to be unique in the world, and if he doesn't want to be discovered by us, we will never be able to detect his existence. He had seen what I was doing tonight, and if he was His Majesty's man, I believe we would be surrounded by the Praetorian Guard by this time. ”
"Well, with his help, things are much easier, have you got those things, have you checked them?"
"The quantity and quality are all right, enough. ”
"Then hurry up and complete the deployment, there are only a few days left before the clan assembly. Lingxi commanded, and then left the main hall, leaving only Wang Shi thoughtful.
