Chapter 533: Xu Wei Becomes a Close Confidant

Chapter 789: Twelve-Character EvaluationChapter 533: Xu Wei Becomes a Trusted Aide

The shout came from the Jinyiwei of the Dongchang.

Li Yinhu first realized that he found the sound of the Jinyiwei surprisingly pleasant and agreeable.

He immediately pointed at the four black-clad assassins and shouted: "Quickly, these assassins are trying to assassinate me! Seize them immediately, dead or alive, a heavy reward awaits!"

Under such heavy rewards, there must be brave men. As soon as the Dongchang Jinyiwei heard this, they immediately sent a signal. In an instant, all the Jinyiwei around poured out of their hiding places.

The four men in black, seeing that the situation was hopeless, glanced at each other and immediately abandoned their attempt to assassinate Li Yinhou, scattering to flee in different directions.

This sudden assassination ended abruptly, as if it had never happened.

Half an hour later, looking at the corpses lying haphazardly inside the mansion, Li Yinhǔ's face was as dark as thunder.

"Your Highness, the assassin has escaped. The Jinyiwei brothers are in pursuit and should have some news soon."

Looking at the captain of the Jinyiwei striding forward, Li Yinhou suppressed the surging anger in his heart and said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes: "Thank you for your hard work, Jinyiwei."

Saying that, Li Yinhu took out a silver note and said, "Take this to buy tea for the brothers."

The captain hastily refused, saying, "No, no, how dare I It's an honor to serve the prince..."

"Here you go."

Li Yinhu grew increasingly impatient and said, “Your master and I are not on good terms. You are helping out for these benefits, aren't you Don't refuse any longer. This king has many other matters to attend to and no time to waste here.”

Upon hearing this, the Jinyiwei officer accepted the silver note and then led his men away.

After the Jinyiwei left, Li Yinhu got up and came to the room. There, lying wounded, was Xu Wei.

"What did Dr. Gang say" Li Yinhǔ asked.

Xu Wei, because of excessive blood loss, his face looked a little pale, but he still struggled to get up and said: "Your Highness is here, the doctor has seen it, saying that all are skin and flesh injuries, just need to recuperate for a while, there is nothing serious."

Understanding how to win people over, he looked grateful and sat by Xu Wei's bedside, his face full of excitement. "Xu Wei," he said, "you saved my life!"

Xu Wei immediately said with a serious face: "Since Xu Wei serves King Zhao, life and death naturally belong to King Zhao. If King Zhao is in danger, and Xu Wei becomes a coward, he is no different from an animal."

Well said!

Li Yinhu clasped Xu Wei's hand tightly and said, "This king admires most those who are loyal and brave like you. From today onwards, you shall be the head of the palace guard, responsible for all internal and external security!"

Xu Wei's face was filled with excitement, and he said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust. Xu Wei will definitely do whatever it takes to serve you, even giving his life!"

Li Yinhu sighed, "Many have said such things to me, but few have actually done so. You, Xu Wei, are one of them. Your loyalty is commendable, and I will certainly not treat you poorly. Take good care of your wounds. When you recover, I will give you one hundred taels of silver as a reward."

Li Yinhu has always suspected that there was a traitor among the people he sent to break out of prison. He had an elder with assassins go out, also to investigate this matter.

Originally, he had his suspicions about Xu Wei, but now it seems that Xu Wei's suspicion can be completely cleared.

Li Yinhu has already begun to cultivate Xu Wei as his true confidante.

Xu Wei also felt this, he said: "Your Highness, I have another request that is difficult to make."

"You say, Your Majesty will grant it."Chen would be in a terrible predicament.The King Ning turned and left the bedchamber, returning to his study with a stoic expression. He ordered his aides to be summoned immediately. He intended to ta...
