Chapter 178 If She Wants to Check, Let Her Check
Suddenly thinking of something, Gu Wei's face darkened. "I'm not worried about Xu Rui's safety, but there's something that's bothering me right now."
Seeing Gu Wei's worried face, Eunuch Li cautiously guessed, "Is Your Majesty worried about the Qin Palace sending all its troops?"
Gu Wei narrowed his eyes grimly. "I've already checked the military token Xu Rui brought and confirmed it's fake. But the Prince of Qin's Mansion is mobilizing so many troops to catch the thief tonight..."
Eunuch Li quickly understood what Gu Wei meant.
"Your Majesty, you suspect that the military token lost in the Prince of Qin's Palace is genuine, but the one the Marquis gave you is a fake. Do you suspect that the Marquis replaced the military token?"
Gu Wei did have this guess in his mind, but in such a short time since Xu Rui got the military token, Xu Rui should not have had time to exchange it, and Xu Rui had never seen a real military token before, so how could he make a fake one to swap it.
Unless he had stolen the military token a few days ago and made a fake one before sending it to him, but he had already sent people to investigate. Xu Rui went to the Qin Palace to steal the military token tonight. The formation in the Gulin Courtyard was broken, the study was robbed, and the private soldiers of the Qin Palace came out in full force tonight. All of this proved that Xu Rui had stolen the military token tonight.
No matter how we speculate, Xu Rui cannot be false, but Gulin has mobilized so many troops as if it has lost the real military order.
Suddenly, Gu Wei thought of something and immediately took out the golden tiger talisman from the brocade box excitedly.
He felt the weight of the golden tiger talisman again, but his eyes were still filled with confusion. This couldn't be true.
Gu Wei did not give up and took out his own silver leopard talisman from the secret compartment and weighed it again.
If the Golden Tiger Talisman is real, it should be heavier than his Silver Leopard Talisman. There is indeed something wrong with its weight.
It was just a fake military token that was lost, but why did Gulin mobilize such a large army?
Gu Wei was silent for a long time, and his eyes became more and more complicated.
After Xu Rui left the city gate, he quickly shook off the pursuers from the Prince of Qin's Mansion and went to the villa after taking a detour.
"Young Master?" The man in black robe was very surprised when he saw Xu Rui appear here.
Xu Rui had clearly already headed to the northern border, so why did he suddenly appear here? Did something happen?
"My wife is ill, so I returned to Beijing."
As if he had guessed the black-robed man's thoughts, Xu Rui gave a simple explanation.
The man in black robe looked at Xu Rui with some doubt.
Xu Rui was ordered to go to the northern border to suppress bandits, but now he has come back against the order, just because Jiang Xiyu is sick. Since when did he start to care so much about Jiang Xiyu?
Xu Rui was very displeased with the look in the black robe. "Are you questioning me?"
The black-robed man lowered his head and advised, "Young Master, the important matter has not yet been accomplished. You must not act on your emotions."
Rui bowed and advised, "Young Master, please don't let your emotions get the better of you before the great cause is accomplished."
When Xu Rui heard the black-robed man's preaching, he used to think that he was doing it for his own good, but now he found it extremely harsh.
"understood."
If it weren't for these people preaching to him all the time, he might have fallen in love with Jiang Xiyu a long time ago, and Gulin wouldn't have tried to poach him.
If he had gotten along well with Jiang Xiyu in the past, perhaps their children would have grown up now, and he wouldn't have to worry about Jiang Xiyu falling in love with him because of Gulin's stinky appearance.
The man in black robes heard the reluctance in his words and raised his head to persuade him again, "Young Master, our great cause..."
"I have said too much."
Knowing Xu Rui's character, the man in black robe didn't say much even though he was dissatisfied.
Xu Rui asked someone to call the leader of the Bronze Guards again.
"From today on, you will also go to the Princess's residence and protect the Madam together with the Golden Guards."
The leader of the Bronze Guards was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect that having the Golden Guards to protect Jiang Xiyu was not enough, and he actually needed them.
Xu Rui glared coldly, and the leader of the Bronze Guards stopped having any random thoughts and immediately bowed and replied, "I'll go now."
As soon as the Black Bronze Leader left, the black-robed man frowned and said, "Young Master has already sent the Golden Guards to protect the Madam in the mansion, which is enough. There is no need to waste so much manpower on one..."
"Grand Marshal." Before the black-robed man could finish his words, Xu Rui stopped him with a cold shout, "Now I don't even have the power to deploy these assassins, right? How about letting Grand Marshal make all the decisions from now on, and I just abdicate and let someone more capable take over?"
The black-robed man was frightened by Xu Rui's words and immediately knelt on the ground, "I dare not."
"You don't dare." Xu Rui shouted angrily, "Your hands and feet are almost pointing at my face, don't you dare?"
The black-robed man trembled suddenly, lowered his eyes and bowed, "I have overstepped my bounds, young master, please forgive me."
Xu Rui suddenly stared at the man in black robe with a cold look, "Grand Sima, you are a loyal minister, but the ruler is the ruler and the minister is the minister. Grand Sima, please remember this."
Xu Rui's warning frightened the man in black robes. He fell to the ground and kowtowed, saying, "I will remember the Young Master's instructions."
"Get up." Xu Rui seemed to not want to pay any more attention to the man in black robe and ran away.
Seeing Xu Rui about to leave, the black-robed man quickly stood up and chased after him, "Young Master, I have something else I want to ask you."
"Speak." Xu Rui did not stop.
The man in black robes tried hard to catch up with Xu Rui while reporting, "Madam checked your private account before. I wonder if Madam will discover our secret? Do you want to..."
Before the man in black robe could finish his pointed words, Xu Rui glared at him, "What are you going to do?"
The cold, murderous gaze once again made the black-robed man's heart tremble. He immediately explained in a soft voice, "Young Master, please don't misunderstand me. I just wanted to go to the store in advance to make some preparations."
In fact, the man in black robe originally wanted to take Jiang Xiyu's life, but now looking at Xu Rui's attitude, let alone taking Jiang Xiyu's life, Xu Rui probably wouldn't agree even if he did something else.
As expected, Xu Rui said without hesitation, "You don't need to do anything. If she wants to investigate, let her investigate."
Xu Rui's words once again shocked the man in black robes, "But we..."
This is not only about their lives and property, but also about their great cause, and there can be no mistakes.
How could Xu Rui not know the ins and outs of the matter? His deep eyes flickered slightly, "Even if she knows something, she will never betray me."
The black-robed man looked surprised, "Are you so sure?"
He didn't realize that Jiang Xiyu would be so devoted to Xu Rui.
Xu Rui turned around and glared at him, then said firmly, "I am so determined."
Even though Jiang Xiyu doesn't like him as much as before, the friendship between them is still there. He believes that even if she really finds out something, she will not betray him. After all, this concerns his life and the entire Yonglin Marquis Mansion.
After he finished speaking, Xu Rui interrupted impatiently, "Da Sima, you don't need to interfere in my affairs. I know what's right."
