"If Qining was not fooled, will the action tonight fall into the trap they set up?"

In the Shu Palace, Li Hongxin, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked a question.

Ximen Hengye seemed surprised that Li Hongxin would ask such words at this time, but he still said: "Prince, our goal of attacking the east and west has been achieved. The governor's mansion has not strengthened its defense today. We have been sending people to keep an eye on the guards of the four gates and the troops of the Chengdu barracks. When we acted, the soldiers and horses still did not move. In other words, even if the governor's mansion is prepared, it is just the little manpower of the governor's mansion on weekdays. If we act tonight, our manpower is far more than them, and we can control the situation."

Li Hongxin thought something.

He knew that Ximen Hengye was not wrong.

From the beginning of the planned action, Wei Shu and his available soldiers in the city have been closely monitored by the King of Shu. If Qi Ning really wanted to set up a trap this time, he would naturally expect that the King of Shu would attack the governor's mansion, and then he would definitely set up an ambush in the governor's mansion. In this way, the troops in the city would inevitably be used.

However, the soldiers available in the city have not been moved, which means that Qi Ning would not have thought that the King of Shu would launch a surprise attack on the governor's mansion today, otherwise there would have been no action.

But Li Hongxin always felt a little uneasy.

After experiencing countless ups and downs, Li Hongxin has a strong premonition about many things. Although everything was planned carefully and Wei Shutong's men did not act as expected, the more they did, the more they were, the more uneasy Li Hongxin felt, and even deeper they felt a sense of fear.

This feeling has never been in many years, but it has suddenly surged in my heart recently, and as time goes by, this feeling has become stronger and stronger.

The Shu Palace was silent. The guards guarding the Shu Palace had already killed directly at the Chengdu arsenal according to the prior arrangement. The arsenal was naturally guarded by officers and soldiers, but the number of people has never been large. The nearly 100 troops were enough to control the arsenal in the shortest time. As long as the arsenal was taken down, even if there were other forces supporting Wei Shutong in the city and without weapons, it would not be a threat to the Shu King.

A voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Report, Prince, someone asks for a visit!"

Li Hongxin and Ximen Hengye were both stunned, and Ximen Hengye said in a deep voice: "Who is asking for a meeting?"

"He said he was the person the prince wanted to see the most." A voice outside the door said, "and said that the prince must see him, otherwise it would be difficult for the prince to pass through this level tonight."

Li Hongxin was even more surprised and looked at Ximen Hengye. Ximen Hengye thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and then Li Hongxin said: "Let him come in."

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a thunderclap came from the horizon. Li Hongxin's eyes hopped slightly and said lightly: "It seems that it will rain!"

At dusk, dark clouds were coiled around the horizon, but the rain had not fallen for a long time.

Not long after, in the night, several figures appeared outside the door. Li Hongxin sat on the chair, did not get up, stared at the door, and saw that he walked to the door, raised his hand, indicating that everyone behind him did not have to follow. Then he stepped into the hall. Seeing the visitor, Li Hongxin's pupils contracted, and even Ximen Hengye's face was shocked.

The one who came in from outside the door was not someone else, but it was Qi Ning.

Dai Ling's purpose of leading people to the governor's mansion tonight was to kill Qi Ning, so how could Li Hongxin have thought that Qi Ning would appear in front of him at this time?

In an instant, Li Hongxin's heart sank to the bottom.

At this time, he certainly knew that Dai Ling and his party must have fallen into Qi Ning's trap, and the Shu Palace was completely in Qi Ning's plan. The Shu Palace originally had nearly a hundred escorts who were fearless. Naturally, these people had no doubts about Li Hongxin's loyalty, and each was carefully selected by Li Hongxin, and each of them was extremely powerful in combat.

If these people were in the Shu Palace, even if Dai Ling fell into the trap, the officers and soldiers would have to pay a heavy price if they wanted to enter the Shu Palace.

But the hundred-man guard of the Shu Palace was sent out to steal the arsenal.

The guardian power of the entire Shu Palace was the weakest since the establishment of the Shu Palace, but it was at this time that Qi Ning led his people to the Shu Palace.

Qi Ning walked slowly into the hall, looked at Ximen Hengye, then turned to Li Hongxin, bowed and said, "Prince!"

Li Hongxin was shocked, but his face calmed down and said with a faint smile: "It turns out that he is the Duke of the People's Republic of China. It's midnight, I wonder what the hell is there to do when I come?"

"Your Majesty is so late to sleep?" Qi Ning asked with a smile. Without waiting for Li Hongxin to speak, she walked over and sat down on the chair beside Li Hongxin, pulled her clothes, and smiled and said, "Since the prince can't sleep, I'll come here at will, and it must not be considered disturbing the prince's dream."

Ximen Hengye's face looked ugly, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything.

"Chief Ximen is the one that the prince has always relied on for many years." Qi Ning glanced at Ximen Hengye and said lightly: "I know the prince valued Ximen. I believe that Ximen's care for the prince for many years is also grateful, right?"

Ximen Hengye smiled slightly on his lips and said, "The prince is as kind as a mountain, so I am naturally grateful to him."

"So if Ximen Chief Secretary wants to send his life for the sake of the prince, Ximen Chief Secretary will certainly not be reluctant to give up." Qi Ning said: "On the way here, I have already thought of the best way to drink poisoned wine. I don't know if there is poisoned wine in the prince's mansion, and I can lend it to Ximen Chief Secretary."

Li Hongxin's pupils contracted and he sneered: "I don't understand what the Duke of the Kingdom means?"

"The prince rebelled and implicated the nine clans." Qi Ning sighed: "In order to reduce the number of people in this incident, the prince needs to tell the world that it was Ximen's chief minister who made a decision and planned this rebellion privately. Although the prince would be implicated and even faced extremely serious consequences, I can try my best to save the prince's life. The prince submitted a surrender to my grandfather, so that the reputation of Jinyi's family spread throughout the world, and thus made Jinyi's family make great contributions. Therefore, in the eyes of Jinyi's family, the prince is also somewhat kind to our Qi family. Our Jinyi's family is grateful to us. Now that the prince is in danger, I can only save the prince's life as much as possible."

Li Hongxin suddenly stood up, with a gloomy murderous intent on his face.

Qi Ning didn't look at him, leaned on the chair and said lightly: "After the prince sent out the guards in the mansion, the Shu prince's mansion was surrounded. As long as I had a small signal, they would enter the Shu prince's mansion like a wolf or a tiger. This is their chance to establish meritorious deeds, so the prince must not think that they will be lenient. The prince has no strength to fight against me in the Shu prince's mansion. When the prince submitted a surrender letter, it can be seen that he is a hero who knows the current affairs. Since this is the case, please still be able to know the current affairs today."

"Qinning, good means!" Li Hongxin laughed furiously: "I am worthy of being a member of Jinyi's family."

Qi Ning smiled and said, "The prince is too honored. The prince has seen strong winds and waves. I know that the prince is a big bet this time. Since the result has come out, the prince certainly knows how to bear the result." He raised his hand and pointed at Ximen Hengye and said, "Leave his head to me, and then the prince and the chief Ximen Shimen went to Beijing together and took the head to apologize to the emperor. I believe that the emperor is a kind monarch, and maybe he can really spare your life."

Li Hongxin sighed, sat down slowly, looked at Ximen Hengye, and smiled and said, "Sir Ximen, Duke Huguo wants me to take your head into Beijing to apologize to Longtai. What do you think?"

"If the head of his subordinates really can protect the prince's integrity, of course, he will immediately offer his head." Ximen Hengye sighed: "It's a pity that the people of Chu are too afraid of the prince. This time they finally found an excuse. Of course, they would not really be lenient to the prince because of one of their subordinates' heads."

Li Hongxin nodded and said, "I think so too." He looked at Qi Ning and said, "Duke of the Kingdom, I am actually very strange about something. I wonder if you can help me answer it?"

Qi Ning raised his hand and said, "Prince, please speak!"

"I know that you let me enter the capital, but it was not because Longtai really gave you any orders." Li Hongxin said: "It's just that I want to force me to take action, so that you can deal with me with the truth."

Qi Ning sighed: "I know that doing this is indeed a bit unauthorized, but the prince is deeply rooted in Xichuan. If you exist for one day, it will be a threat to the court. The emperor is the wise lord with great ambitions. For the sake of the people of the world, he will inevitably destroy Qi and pacify the Han and unify the world in the end. However, to achieve this goal, the first thing is that the Chu State itself cannot be in chaos. Looking at the Chu State, there are not many people who can make the court afraid of it, but the prince is of course one of them."

Li Hongxin nodded slightly, and Qi Ning continued: "And the emperor's majesty has begun, and the army has gone north, but the emperor has always been worried that there will be problems in Xichuan. Therefore, if there is a way to eliminate the threat from the prince, it will of course be beneficial to the emperor's great cause, and in fact it is also beneficial to the people of the world."

"At a young age, I am very eloquent." Li Hongxin smiled faintly and said, "When you say this, even I think I deserve to die."

Qi Ning said: "If the prince is a fish, Xichuan is the prince's pond water. The fish will definitely die if they leave the water. If the prince leaves Xichuan, there will be no chance to make a comeback. Therefore, if you want to force the prince to take action, there is only the only way to let the prince leave Xichuan. I really have no other good way, so please don't be surprised."

Li Hongxin said: "It seems that my king used his substitute to go out of the city to sacrifice his mother, which has no effect on you?"
