Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight

Qiao Xi kicked Xu An on the tendon. Xu An held his foot and jumped around in pain like a golden rooster standing on one leg, but there was a relieved smile in his eyes.

He was relieved that Qiao Xi finally got it.

The King of Jiangbei is such a good man, he only regrets that he is not a girl. How can Qiao Xi not love him?

This is just great.

He no longer has to worry about who to help when Qiao Xi and the King of Xinjiang North turn against each other in the future when the Central Plains fight for supremacy.

He even imagined the exciting scene in the future when Su Heting ascended the throne as emperor and Qiao Xi became empress.

With his friendship with them, he should be able to get a decent official position. "Hehe, smoke is coming out of the Xu family's ancestral graves."

Qiao Xi had no idea what was going on in his mind, and she just stood there hugging her feet and laughing foolishly.

She ignored him and silently recalled her interactions with Su Heting over the past few months, then turned her thoughts to Ji Yao.

After a while, Lai Chijiao handed a porcelain bottle to Qiao Xi, "This is what you want."

Qiao Xi took it, sniffed the same scent as in her previous life, took out a pill and handed it to Lu Jiang, who came with her to Liangzhou this time, "Antidote."

Lu Jiang hesitated for a moment and put the medicine into his mouth.

The last time he and Xiaoman were brought into the King's Mansion of Jiangbei by Qiao Xi, he already knew Qiao Xi's identity. Qiao Xi even did not hide from him her intention to go against the emperor and Cao Ying.

He also knew that Qiao Xi had reported Xiaoman's death, which made him a little envious.

If this antidote is real, then he will be free from now on.

He has been in the King's Palace in Jiangbei these days. Qiao Xi has not assigned him any tasks, and no one has made things difficult for him.

After he imitated Wu Tong's notes to write a letter back to Cao Ying, he was able to return to his rare and free childhood days, a life that was a normal life for human beings.

"Try practicing your Qi. If you're worried, go out and find a doctor to check your pulse."

Qiao Xi's voice rang out.

Lu Jiang shook his head, "No need."

He tried using his internal energy, and the poison that the Dark Factory had given him was indeed cured.

What Qiao Xi said turned out to be true, she could really detoxify the poison in the dark factory.

Then if she and the King of Jiangbei work together to deal with the emperor and Cao Ying, they may not lose a chance of victory.

After a moment of silence, Lu Jiang asked, "You said last time that you would let me go after you succeeded. Do you still mean what you said?"

He did not understand the grudge between Qiao Xi and the emperor, nor did he care who would own the world in the future. He only hoped to be free and return to his hometown.

Although his parents are no longer with us, that is where he was born, where he grew up, and where his roots are.

Qiao Xi nodded, "Of course, if you want to stay then, I won't treat you unfairly."

Just because of Lu Jiang's loyalty to her in his previous life, she will try her best to arrange a good future for him.

Lu Jiang bowed and saluted, "Lu Jiang is willing to be at the princess's disposal."

"From now on in Liangzhou, I will be Qiu Ba Yue, so you can just call me Ba Ye."

"Yes."

Qiao Xi looked at Lai Chijiao again and said, "I'm going to meet some secret agents from the secret factory, do you want to come with me?

Although they were secretly employed by the emperor, they were all sent by Cao Ying privately."

Perhaps he knows something about Cao Ying's poison testing over the years, and maybe he knows the whereabouts of the leprous barefoot daughter.

Lai Chijiao understood what Qiao Xi meant and nodded immediately, "Let's go."

Arriving at the dungeon of Xu's residence, Qiao Xi saw five locked-up spies.

Xu An said, "I was worried that they would escape, so I gave them cartilage powder."

He originally wanted to torture them, but when he thought that Qiao Xi's purpose was to subdue them, he endured it.

There were five unfamiliar faces, and Qiao Xi could only identify them by their martial arts skills, and removed the cartilage powder and chains from the five people.

Qiao Xi took Lu Jiang into the cell. As soon as the door was closed, she nodded slightly to Lu Jiang, and the two of them attacked Anzi at the same time.

"be careful."

Xu An was frightened outside the cell. These hidden men were quite skilled and he was a little worried.

But soon his worries were unnecessary. The five people could not hurt Qiao Xi. Instead, Qiao Xi seemed to know everyone's follow-up moves and easily resolved them.

Lu Jiang had been tempted by Qiao Xi before, and he knew the purpose of Qiao Xi's action today, so he cooperated with her very tacitly.

In a moment, Qiao Xi pressed someone against the fence, "Go on."

Xu An subconsciously tried to grab the man, but Lai Chijiao was faster than him and sprinkled the powder in his hand on the man's face. Qiao Xi hurriedly covered his nose and stepped back, and the man collapsed along the fence.

Xu An, who was also affected by the disaster, also went limp. He looked at the barefooted man with resentment, "Antidote."

Fortunately, he didn’t bring any guards, otherwise he would have lost all his dignity.

Seeing that he had no official authority and was not angry, Lai Chijiao felt a little more favorable towards him. He touched his nose and stuffed a pill into his mouth.

Just as Xu An had recovered his strength, Qiao Xi pushed another person towards him. This time, Xu An caught the person steadily and applied the powder on the barefooted man.

Then, the second, the third...

When everyone was restrained again, Qiao Xi had a rough idea of ​​who they were. Although he was not very familiar with them, he was not completely unfamiliar with them either.

There should be no one who does evil willfully, she looked at Lu Jiang for confirmation.

Lu Jiang was stunned.

Then he thought of Wu Tong who was killed by Qiao Xi, and instantly understood what she meant: those close confidants of the emperor and Cao Ying who cannot be instigated to rebel should not be spared, and those who have committed many evil deeds should not be spared.

He nodded slightly at Qiao Xi.

He had dealt with these people before, and they might have killed people, but they were just following orders.

"As a spy, whenever I receive an assassination mission, either the other party dies or you die. The reason your lives are spared is because I want to use you."

She poured out five antidote pills from the porcelain bottle and said, "This is the antidote to the poison in the Dark Factory. If you are willing, I can give it to you.

Later, General Xu will drag your "corpses" to the street to let the Emperor and Cao Ying know that you are dead, and you will no longer be the hidden agents of the secret factory.

If you are determined to be loyal to the Emperor, I can also help you by turning the fake corpse into a real one."

Several people looked at each other.

In other words, they either betrayed the emperor and pledged allegiance to the people before them, or died.

Without waiting for their response, Qiao Xi continued, "When the secret office was first established, it was used to monitor officials, eliminate treacherous officials, eliminate foreign enemies, maintain order in Dayou, and protect the peace of the people.

But when it fell into the hands of the current emperor, the hidden chess piece became his killing tool.

I know that you have been brainwashed since childhood to be loyal to the emperor, but now that Dayou is in turmoil and the imperial power is unstable, the first to be sacrificed are you, the hidden pawns.

You didn't want to join the dark factory in the first place, but now you have a chance to make a new choice.

You can choose to start a new life with the true identity given by your parents, be a soldier, a general, or an ordinary citizen, or die without an identity?"

She held five antidote pills in her palm and walked up to the person who was drugged first.

The man looked at her and then at Lu Jiang.

When Qiao Xi was testing their skills, they could see that Qiao Xi and the other two also learned martial arts from the secret factory.

If they could regain their freedom, why couldn't I? The man picked up an antidote and put it into his mouth.

As expected, the other four people also took the antidote.

Qiao Xi stood up and said, "Lu Jiang, from now on, you will lead them. If one person makes a mistake, everyone will be held responsible. If anyone makes a contribution, there will be a generous reward."

In this way, they can supervise each other and even if someone has unfaithful thoughts, they can be discovered in time.

Lu Jiang accepted the order.

Qiao Xi nodded and continued, "There is something I want to ask you right now. Cao Ying has a secret farm where she imprisons people who she uses to test poisons.

Five years ago, a ten-year-old girl escaped from her village. Does anyone know about this?"

Several people shook their heads when they heard this.

Seeing this, Laibajiao felt lost. Just when he thought there was no hope, one of them raised his hand hesitantly and said, "I think I know."

"Say it."

Lai Chijiao jumped in front of the man and spoke before Qiao Xi.

Once the people in the secret factory recognize their master, they will only obey the master's orders. Their current master is Qiao Xi, so the man looked at Qiao Xi.

Seeing her nod, he said, "When that girl escaped, she destroyed a lot of Cao's medicine and stole Cao's medical records.

At that time, Manager Cao sent a lot of people to look for her, and I was among them, but I didn't hurt her. She was rescued by a young man, and the two of them jumped into the water and disappeared.

After a long search, there was no result, and then the barbarians invaded, so the matter was put aside."

"What are the characteristics of the girl and the man?"

Anzi recalled, "The man was wearing a mask, and judging by his voice, he should be under 20 years old. The girl's features were obvious."

He paused, glanced at Qiao Xi again, and then lowered his head, "There's a piece of flesh missing from her face. I heard that it was dug out when Manager Cao needed human flesh as a medicine when he was developing a new medicine..."
