Chapter 260 The instigator shows up, and it’s him!
The appearance of Princess Changping made the matter completely confusing.
The person who was supposed to be wanted by Chu Ning, now worked with Zhao Yu, Yang Xingye and others to wipe out the men in black, and even captured the leader of the men in black alive.
After doing all this, Princess Changping was not satisfied. Instead, she immediately took her men and led the leader of the men in black into the city.
This person is just a lackey, and the real big shot has not shown up yet.
At this time in Kyoto, the Crown Prince and a group of princes were not in the same situation as before, but were still searching for Princess Changping in the city.
It was not until someone reported that Princess Changping was found outside the city that the Crown Prince and the princes hurried out of the city with their troops.
But what they could not have imagined was that not long after they left the city, Zhao Yu brought Princess Changping, Yang Xingye and others back to the city.
The two sides created a time difference and avoided it perfectly!
With Zhao Yu leading the way, the soldiers at the city gate naturally did not dare to stop them. What's more, Yang Xingye, the son-in-law of the Jin Dynasty, was among the team. The soldiers guarding the city gate immediately opened the gate.
Princess Changping, who was hiding in the team, swaggered into the city!
They took the leader in black and quickly surrounded an inn.
At this moment, in the yard of the inn, an old man coughed from time to time.
A man who looked like a butler came forward with a distressed look on his face and advised: "Master, it's windy outside, you should go to the hall and have a cup of hot tea."
The old man shook his head, and a gleam of light flashed in his cloudy eyes: "Tonight's plan is of great importance. I must receive the news as soon as possible."
After a pause, the old man sighed and said, "Perhaps, this is the last time I will serve my country."
He is already over 70 years old, and this visit to the Chu Dynasty will be his last. He must take advantage of this opportunity to seek the greatest benefits for his country.
But just as he finished speaking, a cold snort came from outside: "Prime Minister Baili has devoted himself to the Great Yan Dynasty and will not stop until his death!"
As the words fell, Zhao Yu's figure appeared in Baili Xing's eyes.
Baili Xing's face changed slightly, his cloudy eyes suddenly opened, a gleam of light flashed, and his original decadent aura was swept away at this moment, replaced by a cautious look.
"General Zhao, shouldn't you be going to capture Princess Changping? Why are you here with me?"
"On this point, you should ask Prime Minister Baili!"
Zhao Yu said in a cold voice: "I'm sure you are surprised that I appear here. But don't worry, there will be more surprises for you next."
As soon as these words were spoken, Baili Xing felt something was wrong.
Then, Yang Xingye walked in from outside the inn with a cold face.
"Cough cough cough... cough cough..."
The moment he saw Yang Xingye, Baili Xing felt a blockage in his chest, he couldn't breathe, and he started coughing continuously.
Yang Xingye looked at this person coldly and said indifferently: "Prime Minister Baili seems very surprised. Why, did you not expect my appearance?"
"This……"
Baili Xing finally stopped coughing, but his face had already returned to its usual expression. He said in a deep voice, "Why do you say that, Prince Consort Yang?"
Yang Xingye shook his head: "It seems that Prime Minister Baili is still planning to fight to the end. In this case, please invite Princess Changping in!"
He didn't want to waste time talking and just gave Baili Xing a scare.
Under Baili Xing's surprised eyes, Princess Changping came quickly with a Fang Tian Huaji in her hand, covered in blood and carrying a murderous aura!
Sensing the murderous intent from Princess Changping, the butler beside Baili Xing's face changed drastically and he quickly stood in front of her.
But Baili Xing sighed, as if he understood everything, and he looked much older in an instant.
Princess Changping sneered: "Prime Minister Baili doesn't seem surprised by my appearance?"
Baili Xing took a deep breath and tried to calm himself.
He knew that he had been tricked tonight.
From the very beginning, I fell into Chu Ning's trap.
However, as long as we deny this matter now, I believe Princess Changping has no evidence.
What's more, Chu Ning is under house arrest in the palace at the moment. As long as Chu Ning doesn't show up, the three people in front of him are no match for him at all.
Thinking of this, Baili Xing narrowed his eyes, returned to his usual expression, and said calmly: "Princess Changping is the princess of Daqin. If Dachu wants to protect you, I can understand.
However, the news that you killed Princess Gaoping has spread, and I believe that the Queen of Great Zhou will know about it soon."
If I could provoke a confrontation between the Great Zhou and the Great Qin, it would be considered a contribution to the Great Yan Dynasty.
As long as other dynasties attack each other, the Dayan Dynasty can take the opportunity to grow and become stronger!
However, Princess Changping scoffed at this: "Do you really think this news can be spread to the Great Zhou Dynasty?"
Baili Xing was shocked.
Then, Princess Changping sneered and said, "Bring it up!"
Two messengers were brought up. They were all soldiers from the Dayan delegation. The moment they saw Baili Xing, they lowered their heads and dared not look him in the eye.
Having failed in their assigned mission, they were too ashamed to face Baili Xing.
If they hadn't been subdued, they would have committed suicide long ago!
Princess Changping stared coldly at Baili Xing: "These two people are the messengers you sent out, right? Unfortunately, I have already laid an ambush on the way to the Great Zhou Dynasty and captured them in one fell swoop!"
Baili Xing narrowed his eyes, a strange look flashed across his eyes, but he still frowned and said, "I just wanted to tell the Queen of Great Zhou what happened here. I don't know why Princess Changping wanted to arrest my people?"
At this time, I would never admit it even if I were beaten to death.
As long as they insist that these two people were going to deliver the message, Princess Changping cannot do anything to them.
But Princess Changping smiled contemptuously: "Prime Minister Baili is really cunning and treacherous, but it doesn't matter, I have captured another person tonight!
Come, bring that man up!"
Soon, the masked man in black was brought up with his hands tied up and a cloth stuffed in his mouth, making him unable to speak at all.
The moment he saw Baili Xing, he struggled continuously, making a whistling sound, as if he wanted to speak to remind Baili Xing.
"Prime Minister Baili must know this person, right?"
Princess Changping sneered and said, "He is the centurion of your Great Yan delegation this time, and it was this man who led the troops to ambush Prince Consort Yang outside the city just now.
In addition, this princess also found a crossbow in the hands of this man and his soldiers, which is enough to prove that they are the murderers who killed Princess Gaoping! "
At this point, Princess Changping paused and stared at Baili Xing with a playful look on her face: "I can't believe that the mastermind behind this is you!
This princess has suspected the Crown Prince, Zhao Wuji, and even Prince Consort Yang, but she has never suspected you!"
But when Baili Xing faced Princess Changping's accusation, he suddenly closed his eyes and sighed: "It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone!"
After saying that, he looked at the centurion and asked coldly, "Han Chao, you are so bold that you dare to do such a thing behind my back. I can't save you from this!"
It is obvious that Baili Xing wants to sacrifice the car to save the driver!
Sacrifice Han Chao and save himself!
Princess Changping was not surprised by this. She looked at Baili Xing with disdain and said, "As expected, an old fellow like you can only be dealt with by someone more cunning than you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Ning's voice came from outside the inn: "Princess Changping, what you said is not right."
