The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy

"What on earth do you mean by that--"

The words stopped abruptly.

Shi Weian shuddered all over and turned his head in disbelief, staring at the man in black standing next to him with his gloomy eyes.

A cold and sharp sword was across his neck.

Perhaps if the sword had moved forward just an inch more, it would have easily taken his life.

Shi Wei'an suppressed his fear and pretended to be calm. He had already reacted: "Very well, I was careless this time. I didn't expect His Highness to be so powerful and had already made preparations."

"When did you replace me?"

Before he finished speaking, about half of the men in black turned around instantly, pointed their swords at Shi Wei'an, and said in unison: "Those who offend His Highness shall die!"

The other half were the men in black sent by Shi Weian. They seemed to be stunned by the sudden change. Their master was held hostage by the other side. They looked at each other and dared not move at all.

He was afraid that if he moved, his master would get hurt.

Seeing this, Xie Jin took a few steps back with an expressionless face.

Wen Chao and Wen Kang both held long swords and stayed close to the Fourth Prince Xie Jin.

Xie Xi glanced at Xie Jin inadvertently, and an ambiguous look flashed in his eyes.

In a flash, he quickly retracted his gaze, staring at Shi Wei'an intently, and said calmly: "I have never replaced your people, I just made you have more people."

As he spoke, Xie Xi paused for a moment, and suddenly chuckled, "Who would have thought that Lord Shi was so excited that he didn't even realize that some of the people he sent here are my people."

After learning about Shi Weian's plan from Mr. Liu, Xie Xi had already thought of a countermeasure. When Shi Weian sent men in black to assassinate the officials, his secret guards blended in quietly.

After all, the men in black who came to assassinate were all wearing black clothes and had their faces covered with black cloth, so no one knew each other's appearance. This made it easier for Xie Xi's secret guards to sneak in.

It was precisely because of the presence of this group of secret guards who provided cover and secretly protected the officials that no official died here.

However, it is inevitable that officials will suffer some physical pain...

After hearing the truth from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Shi Wei'an's face twisted and he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, don't think you can beat me like this!"

"Don't forget, I am the governor who controls the Jiangnan region. Even the Jiangning city defense troops have to obey my orders."

Shi Wei'an laughed out loud, with a crazy look in his eyes: "If I can't leave this house, then Your Highness should fight against the entire Jiangning City Defense Army!"

"According to the time, my city guards should be here soon."

"Da Da Da" a series of hurried and very orderly footsteps sounded from a distance, getting closer and closer, as if they were approaching the house...

“It’s actually… the city defense troops really are here!!”

The officials who originally thought they could save their lives all changed their expressions!

They never expected that Shi Weian still had this trick up his sleeve and was so cruel as to send out the city defense troops to deal with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Everyone in Jiangnan knew that the Jiangning City Guard only recognized tokens and not people! Even if the person standing in front of them was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they would still kill him!

Your Highness, the Crown Prince is in danger!

Not only the officials present heard it, Shi Weian also heard it. The fear on his face gradually faded away, as if he had found a strong backer in an instant. Regardless of the long sword across his neck, Shi Weian sneered and threatened Xie Xi: "Your Highness, you lose."

Before he finished speaking, hundreds of city guards rushed into the hall.

The leader was the commander of the city defense army, Ye Shi.

Commander Ye Shi's temperament is like a stone in a toilet, smelly and hard. He doesn't know how to curry favor with the powerful and is unyielding. He only recognizes the token, not the person.

If there is a token, he will do it. Without the token, no matter how high the other party's official position is, he will not say a word.

When Meng Huaijun and Lu Xiaoxiao went to find Ye Shi with the token, it took them no effort at all to make Ye Shi obey them.

But Shi Weian never thought that the token that he had kept hidden carefully would be stolen by others.

He never expected that the city defense army was not his savior at all!

Seeing Commander Ye Shi standing in front of the hall, Shi Wei'an showed a confident smile on his face. He exhaled and shouted, "Commander Ye Shi, this Governor orders you to arrest all these villains who intend to murder this Governor!"

He is indeed the butler trained by him. It must be because the butler saw that he had not returned for a long time that he took out the token and called the city defense troops!

Soon, he would be able to continue to sleep soundly.

however--

Commander Ye Shi stared at Shi Weian for a moment, half smiling, then raised his hand holding the broadsword and ordered, "Come here, arrest all these villains who intend to harm His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Shi Weian: ???

Shi Wei'an:!!!

Shi Weian was stunned on the spot.

He swallowed and looked at Commander Yeshi in disbelief. He suddenly felt his whole body stiffen and heard hallucinations: "W-What do you mean by intending to harm His Royal Highness?"

Xie Jin understood.

In this round, Shi Weian was defeated miserably and his second brother won.

Xie Jin glanced at Xie Xi inconspicuously and saw that he looked indifferent, as if he was not surprised by the appearance of the city defense army.

Could it be that my second brother had already taken the city defense troops into account?

Where did the second brother get the token to summon the city defense troops?

Xie Jin's heart sank heavily, and a hint of murderous intent flashed across his lowered eyes.

……

Commander Ye Shi pointed at Shi Weian without changing his expression and said, "Catch him quickly! Take him back to the prison and lock him up first!"

"Yes!"

The city guards following Commander Ye Shi raised their swords and rushed forward. With the assistance of Xie Xi's secret guards, they quickly captured Shi Weian.

Two young city guards escorted Shi Weian back to Commander Ye Shi's side.

Commander Ye Shi looked up at Xie Xi and said respectfully, "Ye Shi greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"No need to be polite outside," Xie Xi raised his hand and continued, "Take them all back first." In addition to the men in black sent by Shi Weian, they also included those officials who were unconscious and injured.

As for Bai Qiuyuan and Liang Shenlin, they continued to stay in the house.

Liang Shenlin also needs to take care of the injured elite soldiers.

Commander Ye Shi followed the Crown Prince's instructions and took away all the people who needed to be taken away.

The lobby of the house soon became quiet and empty.

Xie Jiu and the other three continued to stay by their master's side.

Xie Xi concealed the strangeness in his eyes and looked up at his fourth brother Xie Jin. His deep gaze seemed to see through his thoughts.

After a long while, Xie Xi finally spoke slowly. His tone was calm but contained a hint of majesty, which did not allow for rejection: "Fourth brother, you should also go with me."
