Chapter 1701: Chapter 1702: These People Are Definitely Gong Juechen’s Men

Xiao Changyi sighed softly before saying, ”At the beginning, I was resigned to death when I killed Dongfang Tianchong. After all, there were only six of us, and it was truly difficult to deal with an army of a hundred thousand. But later, masked figures suddenly appeared from all directions, thousands of them, all quite skilled, which allowed me to escape.”

”The masked figure who just brought you to find me is the leader of those masked figures. As for their appearance, they don’t want to reveal it, so they keep their faces covered.”

”However, these masked figures should be the same group as the black-clad people who helped us flatten Chilin. I noticed that some of their moves are very similar to those black-clad people back then.”

Back then, they considered those black-clad people to be Gong Juechen’s men. If they’re the same group, doesn’t that mean these people are also with Gong Juechen?

The forces behind Gong Juechen are too enormous.

An Jing was both surprised and a bit incredulous: ”Gong Juechen again? That can’t be...”

Xiao Changyi said, ”I previously went to Nanchi to look for you. My whereabouts are unpredictable, but Gong Juechen was able to immediately commission someone to come and find me in Nanchi Imperial City, telling me that someone named Dongqing had stayed at the Fushou Inn back then. Moreover, he told me there was a rumor in Dongqing Imperial City about a concubine of unknown origins in the palace, prompting me to verify if it was you.”

An Jing was even more shocked.

Xiao Changyi continued, ”When I arrived in Dongqing Imperial City, before I could confirm if the concubine of unknown origins in the palace was you, Gong Juechen commissioned someone again to tell me that the concubine was indeed you. He even gave me a detailed layout of the Dongqing Imperial Palace, which is how I learned you were trapped in Quiet Heart Garden.”

”However, he also warned me that the guards in the Dongqing Imperial Palace are heavily fortified, advising me not to act rashly without a foolproof plan.”

”I wanted to ensure your safe rescue, so I didn’t rush into the palace to see you. Who would have thought, Dongfang Tianyang found out I was in Dongqing Imperial City and sent the army to besiege me.”

”As for what happened later, I already told you. Anyway, I don’t believe Gong Juechen merely hired these people with money; these people are definitely Gong Juechen’s men.”

These people have been too dedicated and meticulous in matters concerning him and his wife, making it hard for him not to suspect that these people are Gong Juechen’s men, and not just hired by him.

If they were merely paid and commissioned, it wouldn’t be like this.

Hearing this, An Jing also nodded, ”Hearing you say this, I also feel that these masked figures should be Gong Juechen’s people. But, husband, isn’t Gong Juechen’s capability too immense?”

He seemed to know everything about both Nanchi and Dongqing...

”Furthermore,” An Jing continued, ”he has extraordinary talents under him. I was taken out of the Dongqing Imperial Palace by someone who could disguise themselves. And I must say, that person disguised themselves to look exactly like Dongfang Tianyang, and even imitated his voice and demeanor. If he hadn’t exposed himself, no one would have known he was fake. If he could disguise himself as the monarch of another nation and replace that monarch after killing them...”

At this point, An Jing didn’t continue. She now had a feeling that ’if Gong Juechen wanted to take over the world, it would truly be effortless.’

Xiao Changyi also had this feeling. He understood what An Jing meant and, after a moment of silence, sighed again, ”Because of us, he exposed so much. Now I wish for nothing else but for Chengyu’s heart to remain steadfast and not change again.”
