I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 166 Take away
Hua Niang closed her eyes obediently, and her lips painted with red lip balm looked even more attractive under the warm yellow light.

I thought I would be greeted with a rough kiss like usual, but unexpectedly, I felt a sudden pain in my chest.

The dagger was cold, but it penetrated the body, and the warm blood could not warm it at all.

Hua Niang opened her eyes wide in astonishment, her body slumped down, and in the increasingly dark vision she saw the nonchalant face of Prince Cheng.

"It's dealt with." Prince Cheng pulled out a dagger and wiped the blood on Hua Niang's half-transparent skirt. As soon as he finished speaking, someone climbed in through the open window and carried Hua Niang's body out.

He stood up, walked behind the screen, and raised his lips to the person sitting there, "Did the Second Prince enjoy the play?"

Wei Mingliang clapped his hands and laughed, then shook his head and said, "The prince has such a hard heart. He couldn't even cherish such a beauty. It's a pity to kill her."

Prince Cheng sneered in his heart, lifted up his robe and sat down: "Of course I am not as sentimental as the Second Prince. You also know that the Jinyiwei are watching me. Is there anything that cannot be said in the letter? Why do we have to come to Wanhua Tower for a secret talk?"

"Don't worry, my lord." Wei Mingliang poured him a glass of wine. "I asked you to come here because I have something important to discuss with you."

Prince Cheng glanced at the wine glass but didn't touch it, waiting to hear his next words.

Wei Mingliang didn't mind and drank a glass of wine first. Just as he was about to get to the point, there was a knock on the closed door. It was his own people.

He frowned unhappily: "What's the matter?"

Tuoba Yong pushed the door open and came in, looking anxious. He opened his mouth to speak, but Wei Mingliang raised his hand to interrupt him, stood up and said to Prince Cheng, "Please do as you please, Prince. I'll be back soon."

Prince Cheng secretly guessed what had happened, but nodded and watched the two of them leave.

Wei Mingliang and Tuoba Yong walked to another private room one after the other. There was a noise of a man and a woman playing on the bed. Even after the two of them came in, the noise did not stop, but became even louder.

Tuoba Yong glanced at the bed covered by heavy gauze curtains and whispered to Wei Mingliang, "There are Jinyiwei people in the building, all of them are strangers, and there are a lot of them."

Wei Mingliang frowned. Was he discovered so soon?

But the method he used should be enough to deceive Xie Hui.

He pondered for a few moments but could not figure out anything. He just felt that there might be a problem with Prince Cheng.

Now the time is not ripe, and the Jinyiwei cannot catch him drinking with the Prince of Cheng. If it arouses the suspicion of Emperor Shunguang and exposes the cooperation between Xixia and Prince Cheng, it will be more trouble than gain.

He made a prompt decision and said, "Let's go."

Tuoba Yong followed him, but asked, "Your Highness, don't you need to inform Prince Cheng?"

Wei Mingliang chuckled: "The prince came to Wanhua Tower to have fun, so he should have a good time. We should not disturb the prince's leisure. We will ask two flower girls to accompany him later."

It's normal for a man to go to a brothel. The Imperial Guards would never arrest Prince Cheng for such a small matter.

In another private room, Prince Cheng waited and waited, and was so bored that he wiped the dishes and chopsticks carefully, but Wei Mingliang still did not come back. Instead, two Hua Niang suddenly broke in.

As soon as she saw him, she threw herself into his arms, calling him "Master" in a tender voice.

Prince Cheng is a germaphobe. He dislikes anything that has been touched or used by others. He can be patient and pretend when necessary, but he doesn't have such good patience with prostitutes.

Just as he was about to draw out his dagger and kill the two women together, a team of Jinyiwei suddenly rushed in.

The man in the lead was wearing a red Feiyu suit and holding an embroidered spring sword. It was Xie Hui.

Prince Cheng was so shocked that he didn't even bother to shake off the trembling woman in his arms. He immediately suspected that Wei Mingliang had betrayed him.

But then I thought again and felt it was impossible.

Xixia has already formed an alliance with his father, so Wei Mingliang has no reason to betray him at this time.

"Thank you, sir, for your great majesty." Prince Cheng held Hua Niang in his arms with one hand each, patted her back soothingly, and said in a dissatisfied tone, "You suddenly barged in and frightened my beauty."

Xie Hui glanced at his tense body, his smile not reaching his eyes, looking a little cold: "The prince is really in a good mood."

Prince Cheng curled his lips and said, "It's a pity that Master Xie ruined my good mood." He pushed Hua Niang aside and stuffed a banknote into each of their hands, saying gently, "Don't be afraid, go down."

The two looked at Xie Hui, and when they saw Xie Hui nod, they hurriedly picked up their skirts and ran out.

Cai Xin, who had led people to search the house, came over and shook his head slightly at Xie Hui.

Sure enough, he ran away.

Xie Hui sighed in his heart, knowing that the emperor would glare at him again when he entered the palace.

Everything was arranged well, so where did the news leak from?
Could it be that, as he guessed, the spies from Western Xia had already figured out how the Embroidered Uniform Guards transmitted messages?

"Remember to close the door when you go out." Prince Cheng picked up a piece of cold dish with chopsticks. His hands were very steady and he didn't seem to be panicked at all.

Xie Hui had no intention of leaving. He walked to the seat opposite him and sat down. He raised his wine glass and shook it, and asked, "Is the prince alone?"

Prince Cheng glanced at him and said, "The beauties were all scared away by Lord Xie, so naturally I am the only one left."

"It's so boring to drink alone." Xie Hui put the wine glass on the table and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation to Prince Cheng, "I have prepared fine wine and delicious food, please come over and have a chat."

"Xie Hui, you are going too far!" Prince Cheng slammed the table and stood up, glaring at Xie Hui. "The Jinyiwei are arresting innocent people so indiscriminately. I will report this to His Majesty. Please make the decision for me!"

Xie Hui didn't take this threat seriously at all. Without even raising his eyelids, he ordered, "Take him away."

At the same time, under the wall of Shuntian Prefecture Yamen.

The five men in black huddled together, breathing out white air from their mouths, their teeth chattering from the cold.

"Boss, are you going in, in, in, go?"

“Go, go, go, go!”

The leading man in black turned his shoulders, stepped on the courtyard wall, and jumped in.

The other four men in black hurried to follow.

The guards at Shuntian Prefecture were unexpectedly lax. The patrolling officers and soldiers were so sleepy that they kept yawning and did not notice the five men in black flying over their heads.

After reaching the prison, the leader of the men in black suddenly stopped, turned to look at his four men, and asked, "Is this going too smoothly?"

The four subordinates looked at each other and thought, isn’t success a good thing?
Just save the person and leave.

Subordinate A said, "First, rescue the people first."

The other three men nodded in agreement.

The leader of the men in black no longer hesitated, knocked out the prison guard, and rushed in with his men.

I thought it would be a fierce battle, but unexpectedly, the jailer guarding the cell was drunk and was snoring loudly on the table. I was afraid that he would not wake up even if he was stabbed.

The men in black were overjoyed and ran straight to the cell.

Search room by room.

Finally, Zhang Yue was found in a single room.

Hearing the voice, Zhang Yue looked up and saw five men in black. He was stunned for a moment, then he thought of something, his face turned green, and he said in a hurry: "Go--"

Before they finished saying "go", a large net dropped from the sky and covered the five men in black tightly.

The men in black were horrified and took out their weapons, trying to cut open the net.

Unexpectedly, it couldn't be cut open at all.

Lu Fei and Dong Yi, who were hiding in the dark, watched with twitching eyes. With such a talent, they dared to come to Shuntian Prefecture Prison to rob a prison? Did they borrow the courage from the sky?
Lu Fei raised his hand and waved: "Catch him."
