509: C509 Overseer

C509 Overseer

After hearing Su Jin's words, Ming Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. That's right. With her current strength, if Su Jin wanted to harm her, it would be a piece of cake.

And now, Su Jin was willing to take the risk of offending Second Prince in order to protect her. It seemed like he really didn't have any ulterior motives.

"However, although I don't have any ulterior motives, but someone else might not."

Su Jin changed the topic and his gaze fell on Xu Qi. He smiled and said, "I am right."

Xu Qi's face changed. Indeed, he had seen through it.

Ming Yuan looked at Xu Qi with doubt. What Su Jin meant was that Xu Qi also had a secret?

She could not help but smile bitterly again. The three guards that she had recruited were all hiding their identities. She was a little too miserable.

"You..."

Xu Qi's face did not look good. He immediately sighed, "Trust me, I do not have any ill intentions towards Princess Mingyuan."

Su Jin did not believe it. For Ming Yuan's five-star praise, he could not tolerate any mistakes. "Tell me, who are you? Why are you getting close to Princess Mingyuan? If you can't say it, I will give you a chance to leave."

Xu Qi's face was gloomy. This guy didn't even know what was going on, yet he still came to question his mother.

She took a deep breath and could only helplessly say, "Alright, actually, I am a member of the Thief Sect. I approached Princess Mingyuan because of her mother Lian Fei!"

"Mufei..."

When Ming Yuan heard this, her gaze immediately became complicated.

Su Jin was a little surprised. It was actually the Thief Sect. This mysterious force, Su Jin actually did not understand much, "Isn't Imperial Concubine Lian an ordinary palace maid? What relationship does she have with the Thief Sect?"

Xu Qi looked at Su Jin and said snappily, "Who said that Imperial Concubine Lian is an ordinary palace maid? When Imperial Concubine Lian was alive, she was also a Saintess of the Thief Sect. Later, Imperial Concubine Lian sneaked into the palace. She wanted to steal the sacred relic of the Thief Sect, but in the end, she got to know that heartless person of the Heaven Emperor. Not only did the sacred relic not be taken back, but she also fell into the palace. He has completely lost contact with the Thief Sect. "

" I approached Princess Mingyuan because I wanted to protect her in secret. Consort Lian is my father's younger sister. According to seniority, I am still Princess Mingyuan's cousin." Xu Qi looked at Princess Mingyuan, "These things, could it be that Lian Fei did not tell the princess?"

Princess Mingyuan's expression became more and more complicated as she recalled, "Mufei did not tell me about the robbery. She only told me that I have an uncle with the surname Xu. Are you really my cousin?"

Xu Qi took out a jade pendant in his hand, "It is authentic. This is the life token of my Xu Family. Anyone who has the bloodline of the Xu Family can feel it when they drip their blood on it."

Seeing this jade pendant, Princess Mingyuan bit her lips and took out a similar jade pendant from her sleeve, "This is the inheritance that Mufei left for me."

"It really is Little Aunt's jade pendant!"

Xu Qi's eyes lit up as he looked at Ming Yuan and said, "Younger cousin Ming Yuan, do you believe me now? My real name is Xu Qiqi."

Su Jin's expression became strange. Before, he did not react and only felt that this Xu Qi looked familiar. Now he finally realized something. This guy was probably the same a Female Disciple of the Thief School he had met in the Blood Desert.

Fate was really a coincidence.

Su Jin found it funny in his heart, but he didn't intend to reveal his identity. Otherwise, he didn't know what would happen to this guy.

Regarding Xu Qiqi's words, Su Jin did not pay much attention to it. With the power of the Thief Sect, it seemed that there was no need to deliberately deceive a weak girl like Ming Yuan. In other words, Ming Yuan's mother, Lian Fei, was very likely to be the Thief Sect's Saintess.

Seeing the two female relatives meet, Su Jin shook his head. He was too lazy to appreciate this kind of melodramatic family drama and quietly left the room.

The next morning -

"The Imperial Decree has arrived!"

A sharp voice jolted Su Jin awake.

Imperial Decree?0

Su Jin walked out of the room in doubt and saw Ming Yuan and Xu Qiqi at the door. Everyone in the mansion had come to receive the Imperial Decree.

A red robed eunuch holding an Imperial Decree. "According to the will of the heavens, the Emperor declares that there are demons from the Five Spirit Sect conspiring in the capital today. Princess Mingyuan will oversee the middle troops of the Imperial Army and be in charge of eliminating the Five Spirit Sect's stronghold. Here!"

"This official accepts the edict."

After hearing the Imperial Decree, Ming Yuan's expression was volatile. She hurriedly thanked Su Jin and received the Imperial Decree before summoning Su Jin and Xu Qiqi to the main hall.

"Mister Linghu, Seventh Sister, the Crown Prince actually ordered Bengong to be the Overseer. What do you think of this matter?"

Ming Yuan's expression was solemn and full of doubt, "Logically speaking, a Overseer's assignment would never be assigned to Bengong."

Su Jin didn't speak. He wasn't familiar with the situation in the capital either. To him, it was nothing more than a matter of how he handled the situation. However, he heard that they were dealing with the Five Spirit Sect. The people in this sect... All of them were criminals who had committed heinous crimes. If he were to meet them... Su Jin didn't mind getting rid of them.

"The commander of the middle troops of the Imperial Army is a member of Second Prince's faction."

However, Xu Qiqi seemed to understand the Imperial City very well, and her expression was solemn, "Letting the princess oversee it is very likely that Second Prince is secretly directing it."

Upon hearing these words, Ming Yuan's expression turned gloomy. She knew that Second Prince would not let this matter rest so easily. She never thought that Second Prince's suppression would be so fierce. It was simply endless.

"The Imperial Decree has to be received."

Ming Yuan sighed and looked at Su Jin, "Mister Linghu, what do you think I should do?"

"Isn't it just a Overseer?"

Su Jin smiled, "Just go. Furthermore, the Imperial Decree doesn't say that we will exterminate the bandits in the capital. Could it be that Second Prince dares to be so bold as to harm the princess in the capital?"

"That's right."

Xu Qiqi nodded and said, "No matter how arrogant Second Prince is, it shouldn't be like this.

"Alright then. Bengong will go to the Imperial Army barracks now. Please follow me."

Ming Yuan calmed down, but she sighed in her heart. Her strength was still too weak. She thought that she would be able to temporarily obtain freedom and gradually develop after leaving the Imperial Palace. She did not expect that she would be in danger the next day.

Strength. My strength is still too weak.

The middle troops of the Imperial Guards were stationed at the east gate of the capital. When Su Jin and the others arrived at the entrance of the military camp, these soldiers were all strong and muscular. "Stop right there. This is a restricted area of the military. Report your identity!"

"Hmph!"

Xu Qi coldly snorted, and said, "Princess Mingyuan has arrived. Why aren't you greeting her?"

"What princess?"

The leading man with a square face sneered and said with disdain, "This is the military camp. Even the king's father has to verify his identity. The person in the sedan, come out immediately!"

"How dare you!"

Xu Qi's expression changed. He felt that these people seemed to have malicious intentions and were deliberately targeting them. She took out the imperial edict, "With the imperial edict here, you dare to make the princess proud!"

When the square-faced man saw the Imperial Decree, his eyes flashed with a trace of ridicule. He shouted, "What Imperial Decree? With your cultivation base, how could you possibly obtain the Imperial Decree? In my opinion, you guys are clearly spies sent by the Devil School to inquire about the military situation. Take them all down first!"
