Chapter 166 Prepare to leave Beijing
Early the next morning, the ghost-faced fox once again attacked Zhou An, causing a sensation in the capital!
This time it will be more sensational than the last time, because the ghost-faced fox was actually entering the palace for assassination. You must know that since Princess Yunjing was assassinated, the palace has become more guarded, and the empress has completely eliminated those with strange intentions in the big room, making it impossible for anyone in the big room to cooperate with the ghost-faced fox. The big room's protective power is several times stronger than before.
In this case, if the Pure Land Buddhism is sent again, they may not even see Princess Yunjing's face and will be found and killed.
But in this case, the ghost-faced fox actually entered the palace to assassinate. Although it was not Princess Yun Jing who assassinated, it was also the confidant eunuch who the empress relied most. The difficulty of assassinating Zhou An was no less than that of assassinating the princess, even so, the ghost-faced fox escaped unscathed.
This is terrible and lives up to the name of the world's number one assassin.
There is even more terrifying, that is, Zhou An, who is not dead!
The Ghost Face Fox has never failed since its debut. Although there has been a case of being killed for the first time and being killed for the second time, there has never been a case of being killed for the second time. No one can withstand the Ghost Face Fox's two assassinations.
Zhou An is the first and only one.
It is embarrassing to be assassinated twice in a row by the same person, and both of them are allowed to run away. However, because the assassination is a ghost-faced fox, this matter is still not embarrassing, and even pushed up Zhou An's reputation in the world.
...
Zhou An had not left the palace for the next few days.
He is not unable to operate even after leaving the East Factory. Even if he doesn't go to the East Factory in person, he can still command remotely.
Zhou An did not show up for many days and claimed to be recuperating from the outside world, but in fact it was not the case.
He is secretly preparing to leave Beijing.
Although there is no follow-up news on Prince Rong, Zhou An does not think that Prince Rong can capture Prince Ning. Prince Rong has great energy and is one of the most powerful officials in Donggan today. He is not a vassal king, but better than a vassal king. But if his energy and power are limited to Yourong Prefecture. If he leaves Yourong Prefecture, he will not be so useful.
Today, if you say that the one with the greatest influence and the greatest energy is naturally Wu Xukuan!
The matter of Prince Ning's entry into the capital was arranged by Wu Xukuan. Prince Rong had already alerted the enemy. Wu Xukuan would definitely make more arrangements. Under such circumstances, the possibility of him being able to capture Prince Ning was slim.
Therefore, Zhou An is about to leave the capital.
He wanted to arrest Prince Ning himself, and the reason for his departure from Beijing was not limited to this. He had to deal with the matter of collusion between the secret detectives and local governments, and also about the ghost-faced fox!
Zhou An could not sit still and wait for death, he wanted to design to catch or kill the ghost-faced fox.
And in the capital, this matter is very difficult to deal with. If he makes arrangements in the palace, the ghost-faced fox may not appear again. As long as the ghost-faced fox is not stupid, he will definitely think that if he sneaks into the palace to assassinate, he will definitely not be able to come out.
If Zhou An left the palace, he would follow a large number of people around him. This is for his safety. Safety is safe, but he will also be monitored. Wu Xukuan's people are staring at him. In this way, it will be difficult for him to make arrangements in the capital without leaking news.
Only leave Beijing.
Zhou An wanted to lead the ghost-faced fox out of the capital and set up a plan to kill the ghost-faced fox outside. This matter is very urgent. Zhou An didn't know when the next time the ghost-faced fox will take action, and he couldn't always live carefully. He couldn't guarantee whether he could survive the next assassination of the ghost-faced fox.
Zhou An is serious.
"Your head? Please don't..." The empress looked at Zhou An, with a subtle expression. She pondered for a while before saying: "Indeed, King Rong's work is not good, I'm afraid you will really let you go there in person, but... the matter of Baijiang Army has not been resolved yet, and the situation in the capital is extremely unstable. If you leave, I'm afraid..."
"Master, the slave is not going to leave now. If the affairs of the Baijiang Army cannot be resolved and the old general cannot check and balance Wu Xukuan when he returns, his slave will naturally not leave Beijing." Zhou An said immediately.
The empress pondered that she didn't want Zhou An to leave. Kang Longji's health was getting worse every day. From the perspective of being able to do things, Zhou An was the empress's number one confidant and the person she relied the most.
To be honest, Zhou An's existence can already bring a sense of security to the empress.
"Don't worry, Master, I must handle the matters of the capital first before leaving." Zhou An spoke up again.
"Well... let's do it. Once the matter in the capital is done, I will allow you to leave Beijing and capture Prince Ning." The empress finally nodded.
It's done!
Zhou An was delighted.
In fact, he has another very, very important purpose when leaving Beijing! That is to do with the rights of Dongchang! Dongchang has no right to arrest him. This time, as long as Zhou An leaves Beijing to arrest Prince Ning, he can naturally get the right to arrest him for Dongchang!
And now, the empress has agreed to leave the capital.
Chapter completed!
