Chapter 1001: Chapter 839: Dying With Eyes Open

Duke Cheng’en fell silent for a moment, "How are we to believe your words?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yechi immediately set down the dagger and pushed the Princely Heir toward Duke Cheng’en, "To show my sincerity, I can first tell you that the Death Exemption Token is placed behind the plaque in Taihe Hall. You should have people in the palace who can verify this, and if you choose not to believe me, you can let someone go and check."

Duke Cheng’en looked hesitant, "Why would you keep such an important item in the palace?"

Xiao Yechi smiled faintly, "Keeping it outside, it could be stolen or lost. If my father ever needs the Death Exemption Token, he will undoubtedly be brought into the palace for trial. Placing it in Taihe Hall is just right."

Duke Cheng’en nodded at the Princely Heir.

The Princely Heir immediately covered his neck with his hand and left the study.

Seeing him leave, Xiao Yechi did not show any sign of worry.

Duke Cheng’en asked, "Aren’t you afraid that once my son leaves, he will summon the Hidden Guard to capture you?"

Xiao Yechi laughed, "No, the Jiang Family is almost at odds with the emperor, and also, your legitimate eldest grandson has died. I can’t believe that you don’t want revenge."

"You must be conspiring something now, and being short of money, how could you refuse the treasure left by our grandfather emperor?"

"And besides, aren’t you still here? I’m confident that, the moment before the Hidden Guard rushes in, I can make you my hostage."

Duke Cheng’en glared at Xiao Yechi coldly and snorted without saying a word.

Soon, the Princely Heir returned, nodded to Duke Cheng’en to signify he had sent the message inside the palace, and then turned to Xiao Yechi, "The Hidden Guard just reported that they saw Jinling Guard outside the mansion."

Xiao Yechi frowned slightly, feeling irritable about the relentless pursuit of the Jinling Guard.

Duke Cheng’en did not want to draw the attention of the Jinling Guard to the Jiang Family, glanced at the sky, and after some thought spoke, "We will arrange for someone to deliver you out of the city immediately."

Xiao Yechi raised an eyebrow, "How do you plan to get me out?"

Duke Cheng’en didn’t answer but turned to the Princely Heir, "You, leave the city with him."

The Princely Heir nodded and looked at Xiao Yechi, "I hope you keep your word. Once outside the city, tell me the location of the treasure."

Xiao Yechi smiled and nodded, "Rest assured, I won’t break my promise. The emperor forced my father to his death; I want to see you drive him from power."

Hearing this, Duke Cheng’en and his son were somewhat reassured.

Very soon, a Hidden Guard brought in two sets of the patrol officer’s clothes.

The Princely Heir and Xiao Yechi changed quickly, not lingering, they swiftly left through the back door, then blended into the already bribed patrol team.

Meanwhile, in front of Duke Cheng’en’s mansion, the Jinling Guard watched Dog Xiao’er incessantly barking at the mansion gate, all turning toward Xiao Yeyang, as if waiting for him to give an order.

At that moment, Duke Cheng’en himself, with a stern face, walked out.

"Yeyang, have you been reinstated to your office now?"

Xiao Yeyang smiled, "Not yet."

Duke Cheng’en looked at the Jinling Guard, "Then what are you doing? Are you planning to ransack Duke Cheng’en’s mansion?"

Xiao Yeyang, "Duke Cheng’en, you misunderstand. We were just passing by."

Duke Cheng’en, "Since you’re here, why don’t you come in and sit for a while?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang felt surprised and smiled as he declined, "I won’t disturb you; we still have matters to attend to."

Duke Cheng’en, "Yeyang, I’m somewhat your senior. Aren’t you going to come in, passing by the mansion? Are you looking down on Duke Cheng’en’s mansion?" _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}

Xiao Yeyang shook his head, "Duke Cheng’en really misunderstands; we indeed have matters."

Duke Cheng’en smiled, "Yeyang, you’re not on duty now, whatever the matter, it can’t be that big, come, sit in the mansion with me."

Seeing Duke Cheng’en look like he was prepared for a long conversation, Xiao Yeyang’s eyes flickered subtly, and he calmly let go of the dog leash he was holding.

Immediately, Dog Xiao’er ran off.

Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang’s expression drastically changed, and he quickly said to Duke Cheng’en, "Duke Cheng’en, that’s a hunting dog; I really shouldn’t let it run around the streets, I need to catch it. I must go now!"
