Chapter 98 The man behind the scenes, Yan Xiaoyi shows his loyalty

"Go ahead, we must capture him alive!"

At Li Chengping's command, Zhang Han led the Iron Eagle Swordsmen and rushed directly towards the bandits.

After being silent for so long, the fangs of the Iron Eagle Swordsman were revealed to the world for the first time.

The sharp sword was swung across, just like the god of death passing by, madly reaping the lives of these people.

These bandits also know how to cooperate to some extent, but they are still far behind the Iron Eagle Swordsman.

Yan Xiaoyi was also shocked.

He originally thought that the palace guards around him were already very powerful. Although they could not compete with the Black Cavalry, they were still the best in the palace.

But when he saw the Iron Eagle Swordsman slaughtering crazily on the scene, he realized what the gap was.

These Iron Eagle Swordsmen are impeccable in terms of coordination and any other aspect.

Even if the enemy falls to the ground, they will follow up with a knife in the vital parts to ensure that the opponent has no power to resist.

The gangsters were completely frightened by the Iron Eagle Swordsman's brutal tactics.
"I surrender, don't kill me!"

I don’t know which gangster said this, but it instantly triggered a chain reaction.

Seeing someone kneel down and survive, the people behind him followed suit.

"Damn it, you bastards!"

The bandit leader cursed, but he couldn't change the outcome. He urged his true energy and rushed towards Yan Xiaoyi with all his might.

Just as Yan Xiaoyi was about to draw his bow and arrow to attack, Zhang Han jumped up from the sky and knocked the opponent unconscious with the spine of his sword.

Then he took out a rope from his waist and tied the man up neatly.

"Take them away and interrogate them thoroughly. We must pry their mouths open!"

Li Chengping waved his hand and returned to the tent with a sullen face.

Under the dark night sky, screams were heard one after another, but his expression did not fluctuate at all.

At this time, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and Yan Xiaoyi walked in. He walked forward and knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness."

"What are you guilty of?"

"Your Highness, to be honest, I knew there was an ambush on this road a long time ago. If I had told you earlier, Your Highness might not have been in danger."

"It's all my fault, Your Highness, please punish me!"

Yan Xiaoyi slammed his head heavily on the ground.

"That's all. I knew about the ambush a long time ago! You were the one who told me this."

Li Chengping walked forward and helped Yan Xiaoyi up.

"But I didn't say that at all." Yan Xiaoyi was confused.

"Of course you didn't say it, but your expression says it all. You'd rather advise me to take a detour than let me go that way. It's obvious that there's definitely something wrong."

"You have contributed a lot to our ability to capture all these people tonight."

Li Chengping smiled faintly.

At this time, the screams from outside stopped. Soon the curtain was lifted, and Zhang Han strode in, clasping his fists and bowing.

"Your Highness, I have already made inquiries. They said that they received money from a eunuch in the palace, and the other party asked them to ambush and assassinate you here in advance!"

"It's a pity that before I could find out who was behind the eunuch, the leader died."

Zhang Han shook his head regretfully.

He felt that he didn't use any tricks and the guy died. It was really a waste of time.

"It doesn't matter if he's dead. Even if he's alive, you won't be able to get anything out of him."

"Because he has no idea who is behind the eunuch. It can even be said that the eunuch himself does not know who is behind this."

Li Chengping chuckled. He knew the situation in the palace very well. Whether it was the eunuchs or the palace maids, everyone knew how to protect themselves.

I guess the body of the eunuch who delivered the letter is already cold.

As for the mastermind behind this incident, Li Chengping already knew it.

There were only two people in the palace who hated him, Li Chengqian and Li Yunrui.

It just so happens that these two people sleep in the same bed.

Did you make such a big fuss just to lure me out of the capital and then kill me here?

But aren’t the strength of these killers a little too weak?

Thinking of this, Li Chengping glanced at Yan Xiaoyi inconspicuously.

He didn't know what position the other party occupied in this incident.

Yan Xiaoyi also noticed Li Chengping's gaze, and he knelt down again after just standing up.

"Your Highness, to be honest, the princess ordered me to wait for an opportunity to attack you in the team. I was wrong in this matter, and I beg you to deal with me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold light flashed in Zhang Han's eyes, and a terrifying aura burst out, directly suppressing Yan Xiaoyi.

Without saying a word, he rushed forward and put the sword on Yan Xiaoyi's neck.

"I can't believe that the head of the imperial guards is actually someone else's lackey. How ridiculous!"

Yan Xiaoyi did not get angry at Zhang Han's ridicule. He knelt on the ground motionless, waiting for his fate.

"Zhang Han, put away your sword."

"Your Highness, but he..."

Zhang Han wanted to say something, but when he saw Li Chengping's face gloomy, he could only sheath his sword obediently.

"Tell me, why did you say this? From what I know, the princess treated you well in the early years."

"Why are you doing this?"

Li Chengping looked at Yan Xiaoyi with interest.

When he first met Yan Xiaoyi, he thought about recruiting him under his command. Later, as his cultivation level continued to improve, he no longer had any feelings for Yan Xiaoyi.

Although the ninth-rank archer is powerful, he is nothing more than an ant in front of the grandmaster.

"Your Highness, do you still remember what you said to me?"

"After I escorted you back for the first time, I secretly sent my trusted confidant to investigate the incident of the village's massacre."

"Although a long time has passed and many clues have been lost, I still found some clues. The incident was related to a big shot in the palace."

"I wanted to continue investigating, but I didn't expect that several of my close associates would suddenly die one night."

Yan Xiaoyi's expression became more and more excited, his fists clenched, and veins bulged on the back of his hands.

At first he thought what Li Chengping said was just a joke.

But when the real results appeared before his eyes, he realized that the reality was really hard to accept.

"So, what do you want to do? Let me help you get revenge? I did have this idea at first, but now your attraction to me is not that important!"

Li Chengping smiled faintly.

Yan Xiaoyi and his palace guards are very powerful, but they also belong to the imperial palace.

Now that he has the Iron Eagle Swordsman, those so-called palace guards are no longer worth his attention.

"Your Highness, as long as you can help me get revenge, I, Yan Xiaoyi, swear that I will serve you like a slave for the rest of my life and will never betray you!"

Yan Xiaoyi knocked his head heavily on the ground, without using any real Qi. Soon blood oozed out of his forehead as he hit the gravel, but he did not stop his movements at all.

Because he knew clearly in his heart that no one in the Qing Kingdom could avenge him except Li Chengping!
"Your conditions are not enough for me to help you. Look at the people around me. You are just a ninth-rank archer. You are dispensable to me."
