Chapter 869: What a Relief

t the assassin disguised as a guard became even more aggressive, without saying a word, he directly drew his sword and slashed.This slash, however, was still somewhat measured. It aimed at Xu Wei's fe...Chapter 869: Fortunate

Zhao Xuanji colluded with Yelu Shenxuan, the two reached an agreement, Zhao Xuanji broke open the gate of Yueya Pass, and then Yelu Shenxuan led 600,000 cavalry into the territory of Da Qin.

Of these, the most crucial person was Yelü Shenxuan.

If Yelü Shenxuan had something happen to him, everything would be for nothing.

Without the 600,000 iron cavalry of Liao, the whole situation would have been entirely different.

But at this point, the most crucial question is why would King Ning get involved

Even mobilized the Divine Martial Guard.

The Shenwu Guards are said to be the best soldiers in all of Qin, and one should never provoke them lightly.

Once it is moved, that's a major event.

Li Yinhu only felt his limbs turning icy cold, and his entire thought process became somewhat sluggish due to the immense shock.

"How did you hear about such big news"

After realizing what had happened, Li Ynhu's first reaction was to question the authenticity of the news.

If such an important matter were true, Zhao Xuanji would definitely be the first to sit uneasy and call me over to discuss it.

Now even Zhao Xuanji hasn't made a move, which means he hasn't received the message yet. But a guard captain in his own house knows about it, how can Li Yinhou not be suspicious

Xu Wei, who had a plan in mind long ago, was not surprised by the question at all. He replied immediately: “Your Highness knows that I used to work in the palace. By chance, I once saved a young eunuch's life. That young eunuch is now working in the Donggong Xizheng Hall. This was overheard unintentionally by him and he told me about it as soon as possible.”

This answer is logically sound.

But Li Yinhǔ apparently still wasn't easily convinced. He pressed further, "How could a mere eunuch possibly hear such important matters"

Xu Wei smiled wryly and said, "Does Your Highness not believe me If so, Your Highness may send someone to investigate the whereabouts of Yelu Shenxuan and his party. It would be easy for Your Highness to find them. They disappeared 160 miles from Yueya Pass, which happens to be within the territory of King Ning."

"I swear my life on it, Your Highness. This is completely true. I wouldn't dare to deceive you with such a thing."

Li Yinhu frowned. He felt that Xu Wei had no reason or guts to deceive him.

His heart was in turmoil, but he decided to keep Xu Wei for now.

If this is true, Xu Wei would have made a great contribution.

Besides, he actually needed someone like Xu Wei to work for him right now.

"Alright, this King understands. You may go now. Return to your place and do not come back unless it is necessary."

Li Yinhu's words refer to the matter of settling the group of people he had arranged for Xu Wei last time.

Xu Wei knew now that his crisis had finally passed. He admired the prince's cleverness and foresight immensely, and was also touched by it.

The prince was willing to use such important information as a life-saving talisman for himself. Even if he were to be reduced to ashes, he would repay the prince's kindness.

Zhou Lao let out a cold snort and released Xu Wei's neck.

Xu Wei rubbed his aching neck, glared fiercely at Zhou Lao for a moment, then bowed and retired.

He was eager to leave, both to get away from this place of turmoil as soon as possible and to tell the Crown Prince everything he had heard at his earliest convenience.

After Xu Wei left, Duan Jinjiang spoke first: "Your Highness, this matter is too important to be confirmed. It concerns all the arrangements that follow."

"In the worst case scenario, we need to consider facing the wrath of the Liao Kingdom after Yelü Shenxuan's death. That is not something to be taken lightly."t is precisely because of Sanbao's personality that he has been able to remain stable until now.Today, my mind is a little restless. I just want the three treasures to say some heartfelt words. But if...
