After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 378 Unrest

Hearing this, Li Siqi immediately stood up. He had already made arrangements for the capital before he left, so how could anything go wrong?

"What happened? Tell me in detail!"

After questioning, Li Siqi's expression became more and more ugly.

The capital city was not just in trouble, but underwent earth-shaking changes.

The person in charge of Li Siqi's former subordinates betrayed him, and the other party had already started planning from the moment he left the capital.

Gradually gaining control of the power of the entire court, he, the emperor, is now in a semi-empty state. This kind of thing certainly cannot be accomplished overnight, which means that the other party has been planning for a long time, just waiting for an opportunity.

And his departure came at the perfect time.

"Okay, everyone wants to betray me. It's really disappointing."

"How could I have been so blind to choose such a person? He is so ungrateful. It seems that someone has forgotten my fame."

From the time he became the regent to today, Li Siqi has never been a good person. Even if he is not in Jincheng, he cannot tolerate others getting involved in the imperial power.

The other party's behavior has touched Li Siqi's bottom line.

Things have already happened, and there is no point in getting angry. He must return to Jincheng as soon as possible to regain control of the situation. Otherwise, once the other party completely controls the court, it will not be so easy to fight back.

"Your Majesty, the journey back to the capital cannot be delayed any further. We must set off as soon as possible. Our people are already preparing to meet you at the front."

"Time is limited. If we continue to delay, I'm afraid the other party will find out and they will definitely send someone to stop us."

What the guard in front of him said made sense. Right now, the people in the capital probably didn't know that Li Siqi had returned. He had to set out as soon as possible to catch the other party off guard, otherwise he would miss such a good opportunity. If he wanted to return to the capital later, he would have to fight his way back.

I'm not afraid, but it will lead to a lot of extra sacrifices for no reason.

"Go gather everyone together. I have plans."

I must make arrangements for Xu Yingying before leaving.

This way he can have no worries, otherwise he will always be worried.

"You stay here and take good care of Yingying. Don't let her get into any trouble. If anyone is blind, you can kill her first and ask for permission later. If that doesn't work, reveal your identity."

"In any case, she must not suffer any injustice."

Li Siqi's care for Xu Yingying can be described as meticulous.

His close associates who had followed him for such a long time naturally knew what he meant.

"Yes."

After doing all this, Li Siqi turned around and left with the others. No one knew what would happen this time.

The road ahead is difficult and dangerous. Li Siqi has to deploy troops while hurrying on the road. He must be prepared to take action. It would be best if he can solve the problem without bloodshed.

If the other party insists on being stubborn, he will not care about the old friendship and will just kill his way back.

It was already dawn and Xu Yingying fell asleep in the second half of the night, but she got up less than an hour later.

She didn't notice any movement outside last night. Only after waking up did she hear the truth from Li Siqi's confidant who left behind.

Xu Yingying hesitated for a moment and roughly understood why Li Siqi didn't tell her about this in person. What he wanted to express was very clear.

It's very dangerous in the capital, so Xu Yingying will stay here first, and he will take her there after he has dealt with things in the capital.

"It's okay, you can just go and do your own things. We will stay in Jun County for a while. It won't be too late to set off again after the trouble in the capital has settled down."

Xu Yingying did not plan to go to the capital to cause trouble for Li Siqi. Since Li Siqi kept her here, he was confident that he could solve the problem.

If I go there at this time, it will disrupt his plans and make him lose his composure. It is better for me to respect his arrangements.

"Yes."

Xu Yingying was not unfamiliar with Jun County. She had stayed here for a long time before, but she had been in a hurry and did not have much time to stay here. This was a good opportunity for her to take a good look around.

The scenery in Jun County is pretty good. After a simple meal, Xu Yingying planned to go out. She had originally planned to go sightseeing alone, but she was a little worried about the confidants left behind by Li Siqi.

Their only mission is to protect Xu Yingying's safety, and there must be no accidents during this period.

Xu Yingying did not make things difficult for them and let them follow her since it would not affect her anyway.

When revisiting the old place, Xu Yingying discovered many sceneries that she had never seen before. Her steps were brisk on the way and she felt a lot more relaxed.

"Miss Xu seems very happy."

"This place has beautiful scenery. It's really a good place to relax after visiting it again and putting aside other stresses in my heart."

"Let's not disturb them. There shouldn't be any danger here. Just stay outside and watch."

……

It was a rare opportunity for Xu Yingying to relax. The confidants left behind by Li Siqi were all discerning people, so they would naturally not come forward to disturb her interest at this time.

In the capital, Li Siqi returned all the way.

They didn't encounter any trouble at the beginning, but were discovered by the capital later. They arranged a lot of people to ambush, but these people were nothing but chickens and dogs in front of Li Siqi, and all the dangers were resolved by him one by one.

Before Li Siqi showed up, most of the capital was under the control of the person in charge.

He was too confident, or rather, he valued his own strength too much, and underestimated Li Siqi's status as the emperor. Since he was not in the capital, the person in charge could naturally win over Sun Chen through various means.

Once he returns, there will be pressure on everyone.

When they surrendered to the leader, they naturally had to think carefully about how much benefit they could get by betraying Li Siqi.

Whether it can be equated with the risks you need to take.

After careful consideration, they naturally have many concerns.

Li Siqi successfully entered the capital and took back sovereignty in less than a day.

But things get more complicated next. It's not easy to deal with those who betray you in the court, at least they haven't rebelled openly.

If he starts killing people at this time, it will inevitably cause unrest.

Fortunately, the situation was still in Li Siqi's favor. Only after he had eliminated most of the hidden dangers did he personally arrange for someone to deliver a letter from himself to Jun County.

"Miss Xu, we can return to the capital now. His Majesty has regained control of the situation. It won't be dangerous to go back now."

"Okay, let's go."

The group set off quickly and the journey was very peaceful. They did not encounter any bandits, nor did anyone try to rob or kill Xu Yingying.

Li Siqi values ​​Xu Yingying very much and would not leave any obvious flaws. He secretly arranged a lot of people to protect Xu Yingying.
