"With the Black Tiger Hall's ability, it would be easy for them to kidnap a group of civilian women. Why would they go against the odds to kidnap the princess of the Immensity Sea Kingdom?”
"Even if they can kidnap the princess, no one will dare to take over. Who would dare to buy the princess?”
Hearing Xiao Wuji's words, Cao Peng could not help but nod.
"What Centurion Xiao said makes sense. I almost overlooked this point.”
"The Black Tiger Hall has always been active in Liangzhou, and this is Jinling," Xiao Wuji continued.”
"If they wanted to rob the Hanhai Kingdom's diplomatic mission, they could have done it halfway. Why did they wait until the diplomatic mission arrived at Jinling?”
"Jinling is under the feet of the emperor. The Jinyiwei, Six Fan School, and the East Chamber are full of experts, and the army is as many as hundreds of thousands. If they come here to commit crimes, aren't they seeking death?”
After Cao Peng heard Xiao Wuji's analysis, he also felt that it made sense. He couldn't help but nod." Centurion Xiao is right. This matter isn't as simple as it seems.”
"Don't worry, Centurion Xiao. I'll definitely interrogate these four when I get back. I don't believe they won't confess the truth.”
"We also need to check the people inside the diplomatic mission," Xiao Wuji continued.”
"What do you mean?"
Cao Peng was a smart person. He immediately thought of the meaning behind Xiao Wuji's words.
"That's right.”
Xiao Wuji expressionlessly glanced at the ten carriages behind him and said coldly,""Just now, the rebels looted and everyone fought in chaos. It was easy for someone to play tricks in the chaotic battle.”
"If there really is a traitor disguised as a member of the diplomatic mission and is sent to the palace, then the consequences…"
Cao Peng was shocked when he heard that. A layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
If a traitor was sent to the palace by him and endangered the emperor.
Not only would he die, but his family would also be implicated.
The more Cao Peng thought about it, the more likely it was. The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became. A layer of cold sweat immediately appeared on his back. He could not help but curse in a low voice," These traitors deserve to die!”
"Fortunately, Centurion Xiao was quick-witted and saw through the traitor's plot in advance.”
"If you can safely survive this crisis, Centurion Xiao will be my benefactor. Please accept Cao Peng's bow.”
After saying that, Cao Peng cupped his hands and bowed to Xiao Wuji.
Xiao Wuji hurriedly waved his hand and said," General Cao, you're too polite. These are just my guesses. They can't be taken seriously at the moment."”
"Maybe I'm worrying too much.”
"Centurion Xiao is too humble," Cao Peng said."This general feels that this possibility is very high.”
"If it wasn't for the assassination of His Majesty, why would they make such a big fuss?”
"Perhaps everything that happened before was just a foreshadowing for the subsequent actions. It was used to confuse us.”
At this point, Cao Peng's eyes lit up." To be able to see through the traitor's scheme so quickly, not only is Centurion Xiao talented in martial arts, but his intelligence is also extraordinary.”
"I wonder if Centurion Xiao is interested in serving my Imperial Army? Our Imperial Army lacks a talent like Centurion Xiao!”
"As long as Centurion Xiao is willing, this general can recommend him for the position of vice commander.”
Vice Marshals could be considered the backbone of the Imperial Army. It was clear how much Cao Peng valued Xiao Wuji.
However, Xiao Wuji had no intention of jumping ship.
Xiao Wuji looked at Cao Peng and smiled." The Embroidered Uniform Guards are very good, and Thousand Households Cao values me very much. I can only reject General Cao's good intentions."”
Cao Peng shook his head regretfully and said,""That's a pity."
.........
The group of people entered the Imperial City of Jinling majestically. Many Embroidered Uniform Guards and Imperial Army soldiers secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Now that they had entered Jin Ling city, no one would dare to cause trouble here.
The moment they stepped into Jin Ling city, the system's electronic voice sounded.
"Ding, it has been detected that the host has safely sent the delegation of the Eternal Sea Kingdom into Jinling City. The mission of escorting the delegation of the Eternal Sea Kingdom has been completed. Do you want to receive the reward?”
"Receive it!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the max level Telepathic Finger. The reward is being distributed.”
A huge amount of information surged into Xiao Wuji's mind. It was the secret manual and cultivation method of the Telepathic Finger.
In just a few breaths, Xiao Wuji's comprehension of the Telepathic Finger had reached the maximum level.
There are no colorful phoenix wings on the body, and the heart is connected with one point.
Telepathic Finger could be used for both offense and defense.
Not only could it hold all weapons in the world, but it was also a unique skill that could strike acupoints.
With a single finger, he could kill people invisibly!
Not only was it powerful, but it was also handsome.
"Good Kung Fu!"
Xiao Wuji's lips curled into a smile, and he was in a good mood.
......
Escorted by the Embroidered Uniform Guards and Imperial Army, ten carriages entered the state guesthouse.
The state guesthouse was a place used by the Great Zhou Imperial Court to receive state guests.
The diplomatic missions and envoys of various countries would come to the state guesthouse to rest when they met the Great Zhou Emperor.
The state guesthouse was also heavily guarded, and there was a 1,000-man squad of the Four Symbols Army stationed outside the guesthouse all year round.
Logically speaking, Xiao Wuji had escorted the Hanhai Kingdom's diplomatic mission to the state guesthouse, and the mission was considered complete.
However, Cao Pengli asked Xiao Wuji to stay and help.
Xiao Wuji thought for a moment and agreed.
This concerned the safety of the emperor. If they could really find the traitor, it would be a great merit.
For Xiao Wuji, who wanted to be promoted and make a fortune, this was a good opportunity.
