First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Wei Ling took the blanket that Su Jixiang threw to him, and simply stood up and walked to Su Jixiang's side.

Seeing him coming in, Su Jixiang hurriedly wanted to close the door, "Don't you want to bask in the sun?"

"I want to bask in the sun, but my madam refused to accompany me, so I had no choice but to come to see her. Since my madam didn't accompany me, I had no choice but to come to accommodate her." Wei Ling held the door that was about to be closed and said with a smile.

Su Jixiang rolled her eyes. She knew that she was not as strong as Wei Ling, and it would be difficult for her to continue struggling with him, so she simply moved away from the door.

Wei Ling walked in carrying a blanket and then closed the door. He saw Su Jixiang sitting on the couch, flipping through a travel book in his hand, so he walked over.

He sat down next to Su Jixiang.

Su Jixiang rolled his eyes at him, leaned away from him.

"Madam, I didn't want to tell you about the secret guards at that time." Wei Ling straightened his expression and said.

Su Jixiang's hand, which was turning the pages of the book, paused slightly.

She thought Wei Ling would not tell her about this, but she didn't expect him to actually explain it...

Seeing that Su Jixiang was listening, Wei Ling continued, "At that time, I had not yet avenged my great vengeance, so I could not think of anything else, because my life was not my own at that time. You understand, right?"

Su Jixiang couldn't help but turn his head to look at Wei Ling.

Although his expression was calm, there was a dark current in his eyes, as if some memories had returned to him again.

Su Jixiang frowned slightly, sat up straight and coughed lightly. It seemed that Su Jixiang's cough interrupted Wei Ling's thoughts. Wei Ling turned to look at Su Jixiang, then smiled.

"I didn't know when I would die at that time. Since I had already decided not to drag you down, I naturally didn't want you to know too much about me. I put the secret guards beside you not only to monitor you, but also to protect you." Wei Ling said slowly, "If I couldn't come back outside, as long as I didn't contact the secret guards for a few days, they would send you away from Mangcheng, far away, and you would have a new identity. But they can only send you this far. As for whether you will be found by my enemies in the future, it depends on your own luck."

After Wei Ling finished speaking, he looked at Su Jixiang and said with a smile, "Fortunately, you are willing to stay by my side now. Since you are already my wife, Wei Ling, it doesn't matter if you know anything about me. If you want to know anything else, why not ask me? I will tell you everything without hiding anything."

Su Jixiang was stunned for a moment.

Then she lowered her head slightly under Wei Ling's gaze.

In fact, she is not that angry now.

She could guess some of Wei Ling's intentions, but she was just angry for a moment.

That's right. At that time, Wei Ling had only met her a few times. How could he reveal his cards to a maid in the palace of the deposed emperor?

But she was a little pretentious in her anger.

"Don't you want to ask me something?" Seeing Su Jixiang lowering his head and being silent, Wei Ling gently touched Su Jixiang's arm with the back of his hand.

"No need to ask." Su Jixiang said a little dully.

"Okay. Just ask whenever you want to ask later." Wei Ling was not persistent and said it easily.

"Oh, by the way, there is one thing I still don't know." Su Jixiang raised his eyes, "Even if you want me to flee with you in the future, at least I should know why I want to flee. How did you offend the current emperor?"

Wei Ling smiled, and then slowly explained what he had learned about the transaction between the Fei Emperor and the Longchang Emperor.

"So... there really is a treasure?" Su Jixiang was stunned and asked suspiciously, "You didn't even ask where the treasure is!"

"Why are you asking this? I want revenge, not treasure digging!" Wei Ling said with a smile.

Su Jixiang... six six six! He regards money as dirt!

"If we really have to flee because of this unknown treasure in the future, and you don't know whether such a thing really exists, wouldn't we be at a disadvantage?" Su Jixiang asked tentatively.

"A little bit." Wei Ling nodded. "So I have sent people to look for it in the area he mentioned. If we find it, we won't lose anything, right?"

Su Jixiang... That's what she said! Who can really treat money as dirt?

"Come on!" Su Jixiang gave Wei Ling an encouraging look.

Wei Ling couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Oh, by the way, have you also found out where those assassins came from?" Su Jixiang asked.

"Well, I have some clues." Wei Ling nodded. "But these people are not from the army, but assassins hired from outside. They came to Zhongji Jianghu, but the price of hiring these assassins is not low. I have rescued the wife and children of the shopkeeper of the cloth shop, and sent them away from Mangcheng. Speaking of which, the shopkeeper doesn't know who is blackmailing him."

"What about Ye Shizhi?" Su Jixiang asked.

"Ye Shizhi was assassinated. After all, he doesn't know martial arts. Although he is protected by someone, he still suffered some injuries. I asked Xie Yingfeng to leave him in the medical camp for treatment." Wei Ling said.

"If someone fails to kill him, wouldn't you be sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth if you leave him in the medical camp?" Su Jixiang asked curiously.

"If this assassination attempt fails once, there won't be a second time." Wei Ling said, "Because I have found the person who instigated Ye Shizhi to kill me. Now that they have found a ready-made scapegoat, they will not try to assassinate Ye Shizhi a second time. So Ye Shizhi is safe now."

"From what you said, the person you found who instigated Ye Shizhi to kill you is not the real mastermind?" Su Jixiang was a little surprised.

"Yes." Wei Ling nodded. "I was looking for the person they deliberately asked me to find! But this person also did a lot of evil things on weekdays, so I killed him."

"The person behind him..." Su Jixiang asked in surprise, "Aren't you going to follow the clues to find out?"

"Don't worry, I'll let them go for now. They will only reveal bigger flaws in the future for me to catch!" Wei Ling said with a smile. "The benefits generated by power are enough to make them chase after it crazily. What I want is to catch them all in one fell swoop."

The Black Tiger Army seemed to be good at fighting, but that was only the part he took away.

When the Black Tiger Army started the rebellion in the mine, the people who made up the army were a mixed bunch.

The people in the mine were not only innocent citizens who had been wrongly accused and long-exiled court officials, but also some real soldiers and bandits.

After they left the mine, they naturally needed to find a place to go, so they all joined the Black Tiger Army.

What Wei Ling wanted to do was to find out those people who were hiding in the Black Tiger Army and were still making money through illegal means through the person behind the assassination attempt on him.
