Chapter 463: Stabbed 1 times
Cui Yanxi was startled and jumped up, "Everyone, what happened?"
The Royal Guards glanced at her and said, "We are following the emperor's orders to arrest the criminal. Lord Cui, please leave first."
Cui Yanxi was a little confused and hadn't reacted yet. She subconsciously walked out as instructed.
However, after taking only two steps, a strong wind blew and Bai Zhanyang rushed over and grabbed Cui Yanxi's arm, "Cousin, let's go quickly, don't delay the Jinyiwei's work."
The Jinyiwei looked at him coldly, "Bai Zhanyang, you stay."
Bai Zhanyang said with a smile on his face, "My cousin and I have some important things to deal with, so we won't bother you...ah."
Several Jinyiwei rushed over. Bai Zhanyang, who was well prepared, immediately hid behind Cui Yanxi and said, "Stop it. Don't mess around."
He seemed to be hiding, but in fact, he secretly held the short blade against Cui Yanxi's back.
Cui Yanxi looked back in disbelief, "Bai Zhanyang, what did you do?"
Bai Zhanyang didn't care about her anymore and secretly groaned. When something happened, he didn't even get a hint of it and didn't have time to activate the backup plan.
"My dear officials, what happened? Let's talk it out nicely. Don't use force and hurt the harmony."
The Royal Guards looked at him coldly, "Bai Zhanyang, you and Ning Zhou have been stirring up trouble, trying to sow discord between the Emperor and the Ning family, with the intention of overthrowing the government."
Cui Yanxi was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it. She didn't realize that he was so crazy.
Can he overthrow the empress?
Bai Zhanyang's face turned pale. "I didn't, sir. Please check carefully. I am just an ordinary wealthy businessman. How could I have such ambitions? This is a misunderstanding."
The Jinyiwei's eyes flashed, "Ning Zhou has been arrested and brought to justice. She has personally testified that you are the culprit. Just surrender."
Bai Zhanyang quietly retracted the short blade, "Okay, I want to explain to the emperor in person, it really wasn't me."
He cooperated very well, so the Jinyiwei did not tie his hands and feet, and the group walked out of the teahouse.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
With a few whooshing sounds, several long arrows flew over and hit the bodies of the Jinyiwei, and the blood quickly dyed the body red.
Cui Yanxi, who was a few steps behind, looked at this scene in horror and subconsciously turned around and ran.
Oh my god, run, run.
There were footsteps behind me, "Cousin."
Cui Yanxi heard the devil's call and ran faster.
But she was soon caught up, Bai Zhanyang grabbed her and dragged her into a carriage on the side of the road.
Before I could sit down, the carriage sped away.
Cui Yanxi became a hostage and was furious. She yelled, "Bai Zhanyang, are you crazy? Don't you think about your own worth? You actually dared to plot against the emperor. Don't you think your death is not fast enough?"
"You are already an official, why do you still do stupid things?"
"Do you know that your entire clan will be exterminated?"
Bai Zhanyang looked nervous and covered her mouth, "Shut up."
Several identical carriages appeared, circled around, and then dispersed.
The pursuers were dumbfounded, not knowing which car to chase.
The carriage turned left and right, getting further and further away, and there was no one around.
Cui Yanxi pulled his hand down, angry and anxious, "Why are you doing this? Your Bai family is so rich, isn't it good to enjoy wealth and glory?"
Bai Zhanyang stopped smiling, his eyes were cold, "In this world, if you only have wealth but no power, you will become a lamb to be slaughtered."
"I'm tired of being taken advantage of time and time again. I want rights."
Cui Yanxi didn't understand. "You have already entered the government. As long as you don't make any mistakes, you will be able to enter the center of power in twenty years."
Bai Zhanyang snorted coldly, "I didn't enter the government through the imperial examination, so I will never be able to enter the center of power in this life. The fourth rank is my limit."
Well, what he wants is to stand at the pinnacle of power and make everyone kneel at his feet.
Cui Yanxi's eyes flashed with sarcasm. She dared to think, "So, you want to take a shortcut to find Madam Ning Qishao? You only know how to play these unpresentable schemes?"
Bai Zhanyang was furious, "As long as it works."
Cui Yanxi took a deep breath and asked, "Then why did you come to me?"
Bai Zhanyang looked at her steadily, as if he was looking at a commodity. "You are very smart and capable, and you have a title. As long as you make some achievements, no one will take the credit for your achievements. Your career will be smoother than that of ordinary people."
"The Bai family has such a mistress, there are only advantages and no disadvantages."
The first phase of his plan lasts for ten years. When Zhou's child ascends the throne and turns ten, he will get rid of Ning and directly replace Zhou as the real ruler of the emperor.
However, his opponents are the brilliant Rong Jing and the extremely intelligent empress.
"It's a pity that it happened so soon. Man proposes, God disposes."
Cui Yanxi's mood was indescribably complicated. Given Bai Zhanyang's character, he would never give up until he achieved his goal. If it hadn't happened, she would probably fall into his hands sooner or later and become his puppet.
"No, you are wrong. Your opponent is too strong."
"I'm just curious about one thing. Why did you insist on taking me shopping these days? Is this another conspiracy?"
Bai Zhanyang remained silent.
Cui Yanxi's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she deliberately provoked, "What? You dare to do it but not to say it?"
Bai Zhanyang gave her a deep look and said, "I want to gain your trust and trick you into it."
Cui Yanxi's heart moved, "It's not that simple, is it? Is there something wrong with the painting? Or is there something wrong with the jade ruyi?"
Bai Zhanyang doesn't like women who are too smart. They are too difficult to control. "Cui Yanxi, if you know too much, you will die early."
Cui Yanxi was silent for a moment and sighed softly, "I'm dead this time. You won't let me go. Just let me be a sober ghost."
Bai Zhanyang laughed, "You can beg me. I'm in a good mood, so maybe I'll forgive you."
Looking at this hypocritical man, Cui Yanxi's eyes flashed with a cold light, "No, you are using me as a hostage to shield yourself from the enemy."
Bai Zhanyang looked at this weak cousin with disdain in his eyes, "Actually, it's very simple. The painting and the jade ruyi have been soaked in potions that can cause heart problems, infertility, and early death. If you hand them over with your hand, the emperor won't be suspicious."
At this point, he was not afraid of the news leaking out. She was just a weak woman and there was nothing to be afraid of.
Cui Yanxi gasped, "Despicable."
A thought flashed through her mind, and she looked at him in disbelief, "Ning Zhou's child is yours!"
This is an affirmative sentence.
Bai Zhanyang narrowed his eyes slightly, very unhappy, she was dead.
"Master, the Jinyiwei are catching up again."
Bai Zhanyang subconsciously lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked back, and saw several knights chasing him from behind.
He couldn't help but curse, "Damn, what a bunch of hawks and dogs. Lao Mo, hurry up and get rid of them."
The driver responded, "Yes, master, don't panic. We have set up a dragnet all around us. It won't be a problem to escape."
Bai Zhanyang was flustered, "Let's teach them a lesson. Go to hell."
At this moment, he felt a sharp pain in his back, the pain was so excruciating that he looked back in disbelief.
The always weak and inconspicuous woman held a dagger in her hand, her face extremely cold...
