After my mind was read, I became the emperor's favorite

When Jun Linyuan arrived at Deye Manor, the base of the secret guards in Xishan, Cui Mingruo was still on his way.

As early as when Qi Mingze first established the Taishi Pavilion, Jun Linyuan had deliberately infiltrated the Wuyi Guard with well-trained secret guards.

As for the original Wuyi Guards, except for those with outstanding abilities and reliable backgrounds, all the others were transferred from their original positions.

As Taishige gradually grew and became stronger, those "smart people" who were complacent about getting rid of the emerging department with no future were scrambling to get back.

Unfortunately, the people who followed Qi Mingze were all elites carefully selected by Jun Linyuan, and they would not allow these fence-sitters with no vision to get involved again.

At this time, the newly revitalized Wuyiwei was able to carry out the "big task" independently and no longer needed the assistance of Jinyiwei.

Of course, the two deputy commanders were also replaced by secret guards who knew the true identity of 'Jun Linyuan'.

Therefore, Qi Mingze's prestige in the Taishige was at its peak and he was highly regarded by the people.

The civil officials were impressed by his personal charm, and the military generals obeyed his orders and were convinced by his will because of the emperor's orders and his own affinity.

It can be said that except for the newly-minted Jinshi scholars who were initially thrown in by the emperor to practice, the Taishi Pavilion was united and solid.

However, those people were gradually marginalized, and some of those who had many connections and clear minds sought better jobs elsewhere.

Only a very few people are still there "struggling to the death", but of course this doesn't affect anything.

"Commander." Deputy Commander Ying Shiyi, formerly An Shiyi, saluted Jun Linyuan.

Although His Majesty repeatedly ordered that his identity should not be revealed when he was wearing a human skin mask, etiquette must not be abandoned, and every secret guard was very respectful to "Jun Linyuan" and Qi Mingze.

Living with the emperor is like living with a tiger. Who knows if His Majesty will execute them one day just because he is offended?

Even if they were confident that the emperor they knew well was not a person who would kill people indiscriminately, there was still a difference between the monarch and his subjects.

"What's the situation now?"

'Jun Linyuan' needs more information so that he can adjust Mingze's pre-made plan appropriately according to the actual situation.

"After the loud noise, there were brief signs of landslide on the north side of Xishan Mountain...

The place is under full martial law and no one has entered or left so far.

The number of casualties is unknown, and the specific circumstances are unknown."

"Keep sending people to monitor. Tonight, only people are allowed to enter West Mountain, no one is allowed to leave. Anyone who attempts to leave will be arrested."

"Yes." Ying Shiyi took the order and went out to arrange manpower.

At this moment, a Saker Falcon trained by the secret guards flew across the sky in the dark night and finally landed on Yunyu's shoulder.

Yunyu took out a small paper bag from her arms and fed the young hero a piece of fresh meat, then took a small paper roll from his feet and handed it to the emperor beside her.

When I opened "Jun Linyuan", the words "The target is coming" jumped out of the paper.

The brush strokes are so powerful that the force can be seen through the paper. Judging from his handwriting, he does not seem to be a treacherous and cunning person.

However, everything remains to be tested by time. If we can capture Cui Mingruo in one fell swoop this time, it would be satisfactory. A completely uncontrollable risk factor should not exist.

"Ying San, notify Ying Shiyi that Cui Mingruo is on his way. This operation must capture him, dead or alive."

"Yes."

Under the cover of night, the well-trained Wuyi Guards quickly surrounded the entire West Mountain, waiting for further instructions from "Jun Linyuan".

The dragnet has been laid out, waiting for the big fish to fall into it.

On the lonely and empty road, a carriage with an ordinary appearance but luxurious interior was running fast.

Cui Mingruo, the ignorant big fish, was urging the driver to speed up, because there were deadly things hidden in the West Mountain.

If the imperial court finds any evidence against them, all of them will be in trouble.

After hurrying for a long time, they finally arrived at Xishan half an hour later.

At this time, Shen Jun also brought those victims who were deeply persecuted by Cui Mingruo to Taishi Pavilion.

"What the hell happened? You're making such a fuss. Do you think you can't die quickly enough?

If so, I wouldn’t mind giving you a ride!”

As soon as he met Wu Xiqian, the illegitimate son of the Wu family and the person in charge of Xishan, Cui Mingruo started to scold him.

The fatigue and depression accumulated after the pregnancy suddenly burst out at this moment. She didn't care who it was and started scolding without thinking.

The successive setbacks in his career and love made Cui Mingruo, who was already arrogant, become even more delicate and sensitive.

This incident was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing him to lose control of his emotions.

"What do you mean? I was also wondering what's going on with the gunpowder ingredients. Why is it so unstable?

If my people hadn't been so alert and noticed something was wrong and immediately ordered everyone to evacuate, everyone here would have become the wronged souls of the West Mountain."

Wu Xiqian was able to stand out among the many sons of the Wu family head and become the person in charge of the Xishan project. He is a smart and capable person.

Just this one sentence directed all the blame towards Cui Mingruo.

As expected, those who had experienced the previous escape from death and were still in shock more or less cast resentful glances at Cui Mingruo.

Even the people sent by Cui Mingruo just lowered their eyes and concealed the resentment in their hearts.

At this time, Cui Jie, the person in charge standing behind Cui Mingruo, saw that the situation was not right and immediately came out to smooth things over.

“Master, Master Wu, now is not the time to assign blame.

With such a big commotion today, the court will definitely send people to investigate.

The only thing we need to do now is to clean up the mess and think about how we will deal with the officials who come to investigate tomorrow."

"This mountain range has completely belonged to my Wu family. It was just a landslide. Why should we report it to the court?"

Wu Xiqian's attitude is very tough. The Wu family is his strength. With the Wu family's endorsement, he is not afraid at all.

But the mining was delayed, and he was not sure how to explain this to his father.

It is such a popular position, but his good brothers have been eyeing it covetously, wanting to bring him down and take his place.

"..."

"..."

While the two sides were still arguing with each other, the Wuyi Guards had already attacked at lightning speed.

The mining was carried out in secret, and the things inside were of great importance, so there were not many people here, and they were caught off guard by the Wuyi Guards.

Seeing the guards and miners around them being injured and captured one after another, they were like turtles in a jar, unable to escape.

Wu Xiqian suddenly realized that the people from the court came so quickly, someone must have leaked the news.

"You brought the Wuyi Guards here? You deserve to die."

He stared at the panicked Cui Mingruo, drew his sword and slashed at him.

Cui Mingruo pulled Cui Jie in front of him to block the sword for him. When he was afraid that Wu Xiqian would raise his sword to attack again, the man passed him and ran to the other side.

In fact, Wu Xiqian was just using the attack on Cui Mingruo to attract everyone's attention. It was a feint. His target was the box of gunpowder in the corner.

He took out a lighter and threw it directly into the box, wanting to ignite the explosives and die with everyone else.

"Let's die together." Wu Xiqian laughed wildly.

The biggest crisis is coming!
