Chapter 114: Making up for one's sins
He should have thought of this earlier. Xiao Jingchuan was definitely not as calm as he appeared to be. He would not let him go easily when he returned.
Bei Yize's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at Xiao Jinrui and asked nonchalantly:
"Brother Xiao, do you know who harmed you? Tell me! If I knew that someone was secretly trying to kill me, I would fight to the death to avenge myself! Brother Xiao, do you think I'm right?"
Xiao Jinrui stood up, looked at Bei Yize and smiled slightly, then glanced at the corpse on the ground and said calmly: "Brother Bei is right, I will not let him go, let's go!"
Looking at Xiao Jinrui's back, Bei Yize's lips curled up slightly, and then he looked at the entourage beside him and instructed: "Everything goes according to plan!"
"Yes!"
As soon as Xiao Jinchuan and his group arrived at the city gate, they saw that the gate had slowly closed. Looking at the scene before him, Bei Yize couldn't help but say with regret:
"Oh no! We were almost there! If we were just a little faster, we would have caught up. Now we might have to stay out all night!"
Xiao Jinrui couldn't help but fall into deep thought as he looked at the tightly closed city gate. He had never expected that he, the King Rui of Dongli Kingdom, would be denied entry. Although he just missed the time, it was really uncomfortable to be locked outside!
He wanted to remember the insult he had suffered at this moment, and to seek revenge from Xiao Jingchuan bit by bit in the future.
The sound of horse hooves approached from afar. Hong Mao looked at Xiao Jinrui at the city gate and became very excited. He looked at Gu Qing and said:
"Gu Qing, am I seeing things? Is that our prince?"
Gu Qing glanced at him sideways, then immediately quickened his pace and rushed towards Xiao Jinrui. Seeing this, Hong Mao naturally did not want to fall behind. You know, he was so scared that he fainted in the face of a powerful enemy. If King Rui got angry, his life would be in danger. Now he could only make amends to have a chance of survival!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I thought I would never see you again!"
Still far away from Xiao Jinrui, Hong Mao couldn't help but jump off the horse, and then ran to Xiao Jinrui crying. Seeing Xiao Jinrui standing outside the city gate, he immediately shouted towards the city gate:
"Hurry and open the city gates! His Royal Highness Prince Rui is still outside, and you don't even care about him. Do you still want to live?"
Hearing the shouts from below, the goalkeeper naturally did not dare to delay and ran towards his leader.
Deputy General Yuan was drunk at this time. When he heard that His Royal Highness Prince Rui was waiting outside the city, he cursed and did not believe it. When he heard the young general's words, Deputy General Yuan shuddered suddenly. He then remembered that Xiao Jinrui had indeed left the city gate today and had not returned. Thinking of this, he immediately asked someone to invite Prince Rui in.
Looking at Deputy General Yuan's respectful look, Xiao Jinrui snorted coldly and didn't say anything more. After all, if the news of him opening the city gate without permission got out, he would probably get into a lot of trouble. You know, it's better to have less trouble than more. Xiao Jinrui naturally knew what was more important.
"These are my friends. The deputy general must check their identities!"
"Since you are a friend of King Rui, then of course there is no need for that. Your Highness, please!" Deputy General Yuan's eyes flashed slightly, and he spoke quickly.
"Well! Let's go!" Xiao Jinrui responded softly, and then left with Bei Yize and the others.
Watching Xiao Jinrui's departing figure, the young general looked at Deputy General Yuan and hurriedly asked, "Sir, right now, with the envoys from the Nanmo Kingdom arriving, if we let them in without proper reason, we'd be hard pressed to explain ourselves if King Jing blamed us!"
Deputy General Yuan looked at the young general and warned him, "It's hard to explain to His Royal Highness Prince Jing, but it's easy to explain to His Royal Highness Prince Rui? You really have no sense at all. Hurry up and deal with this matter here. What happened today must not be spread out, otherwise our lives will be over!"
"Hey, what Deputy General Yuan said is right, I understand!" The young general looked at the subordinate who responded and did not dare to say anything more.
"Well! Go! Go do what you need to do!" Deputy General Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xiao Jinrui and the others had disappeared. He then waved his hand to signal the two to leave.
"Hey! I'll take my leave," the young general bowed and walked out.
Deputy General Yuan nodded slightly, looked at the wine jug beside him, and then continued to drink.
Xiao Jinrui brought Bei Yize and the others directly to the Ruiwang Mansion. Looking at the magnificent Ruiwang Mansion before them, Bei Yize's face was full of shock. He immediately turned around and looked at Xiao Jinrui, bowed and said, "Brother Xiao, you, you are really His Highness Ruiwang? I am actually traveling with Ruiwang. I am not dreaming again!"
"Our prince is the genuine one! Who else could be so bold as to pretend to be him? Young Master Bei really knows how to joke!" Seeing Xiao Jinrui's different attitude towards Bei Yize, Hong Mao quickly made up his mind.
Xiao Jinrui looked at the admiration in Bei Yize's eyes, his face full of smiles, and then he looked at Bei Yize and said:
"Brother Bei, you're exaggerating! It's just a title of prince, it's really not worth mentioning. If it weren't for Brother Bei's rescue, I still have no idea whether I would have the chance to come back! Brother Bei is my great benefactor!"
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. I just saved His Royal Highness Prince Rui by accident. Even if I hadn't showed up in time, His Royal Highness Prince Rui would have been blessed by good fortune and would have turned the danger into safety!" Bei Yize looked at Xiao Jinrui and said respectfully,
"Brother Bei, you are too modest. This is not the place to talk. Please come in!" Xiao Jinrui was very pleased with Bei Yize's words. After all, he didn't want to mention his embarrassing scene at that time at all. Now that they were just at home for a while, he naturally wouldn't be stingy.
"Well... in that case, I would rather obey your command!" Bei Yize hesitated for a long time, and immediately agreed. After all, the purpose of his coming to Kyoto this time was to find a partner to destroy the alliance between Dongli and Nanmo. At the moment, Xiao Jinrui was undoubtedly the best candidate.
Bei Yize followed Xiao Jinrui in. Looking at the surrounding scenery with carved beams and painted buildings, Bei Yize could no longer suppress his ambition. Compared with the vast land and vast territory of Dongli Kingdom, his Beilin Kingdom was far behind.
Now it is almost autumn, and their food can only guarantee food and clothing. Compared with the Dongli Kingdom, it is really a small thing. If he can take the Dongli Kingdom for himself, there is no need to worry about not achieving great things.
Thinking of this, Bei Yize's eyes became increasingly gloomy, with a hint of determination to win.
Xiao Jinrui knew nothing about Beiyi Chenze's ambition. At this moment, he was only thinking about finding Xiao Jingchuan to avenge his previous shame. He didn't know that he had brought back a wolf.
