Chapter 1348 - 1355: Advice (5)
Cai Wei said, "Yi, don’t be anxious yet. Think about it, when I returned to my parents’ house last night, few people knew about it. How then did the assassins find out? I believe there must be something fishy going on here!"
After speaking, she then asked the foolish assassin, "Who told you that I returned to my parents’ house last night? Who is your inside connection here in Great Jin?"
The assassin mechanically stated, "Following the boss’s orders, we obey the boss’s commands..."
The boss he mentioned was killed by a white tiger last night, and now the only assassin left alive is him. It seems that the clue has been cut off. However, Cui Wei was not discouraged. She released Brother Ying to gather information and find out who the inside connection in Great Jin was. Although she harbored no ill intentions toward others, she would certainly not indulge anyone plotting to kill or harm her!
Nangong Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Once I return to the palace, I will immediately gather the troops and flatten the cursed Xianbei and Miaojiang, capture that scoundrel Helan Qing and that slut Tuotuo alive, and have them torn to pieces by a thousand cuts!"
Cai Wei held his hand and gently said, "Yi, for my sake alone, would you plunge countless people into the ravages of war, with families torn apart and lives destroyed? Is this the act of a wise ruler?"
Nangong Yi irritably said, "I don’t care about being labeled a foolish or wise ruler. My empress was almost killed. If I just endure and withstand, would I still be a monarch, let alone a man?"
