Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother
Chapter 549: A Good Chance of Winning
He shook his sleeves coldly and continued to move forward. The guard was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Baili Ye disappeared from his sight.
Baili Ye walked through the alley skillfully and got into an inconspicuous carriage. The carriage looked ordinary, and who would have thought that the person sitting inside was an important criminal of the imperial court?
After passing through several streets, the carriage stopped in front of an inn in the Liujie District. This was a place where common people lived with people of all kinds, and the rich and powerful avoided it, and Shuntian Prefecture had difficulty managing it.
Baili Ye put on his hat and got off the car, quickly walked into the inn, followed by the guards. The innkeeper caught a glimpse of him and his expression instantly became respectful.
"Your Highness, please come this way. The master has been waiting for a long time." The shopkeeper said in a low voice.
Baili Ye sneered: "Am I still worthy of being called Your Highness?"
The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly and did not answer. Even though the Fourth Prince's status had been abolished, everyone present knew that this former prince could still change everything in the future.
"Please come in." The shopkeeper waved his hand politely and led the way.
Baili Ye turned around and went upstairs without saying anything. The shopkeeper looked at his back, quickly closed the door, and hung up a sign saying "Closed Today".
The inn was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Occasionally, there were a few figures, but they were all silent and had stern faces. One could tell at a glance that it was something serious.
Baili Ye remained calm, and walked steadily up to the second floor, arriving at the door of "Ming Yue Jian".
He was about to knock on the door, but it opened by itself, and a maid as pretty as a flower smiled sweetly at him: "Your Highness, please come in."
Baili Ye looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a man leaning leisurely on a wooden chair.
His face was unusually pale, making people unable to help but stare at him a few more times. The man raised his face, and his pair of dark purple eyes were as bright as purple gems rarely seen in the capital, noble and extraordinary.
He obviously didn't look like a person from the capital, and he had an exotic look to him.
If Ye Yunzi were here, she would definitely feel like she had seen him before, because he was somewhat similar to Su Huan, both in terms of skin color and the unique dark purple eyes.
Kui Shili sat up straight and said calmly, "You came earlier than I expected. Can't you hold back after just a few months?"
Baili Ye said nothing and sat down.
The beautiful maid came over lightly and skillfully brewed a pot of tea. Her movements were as smooth as flowing water. After filling the cups for both of them, she quietly retreated and gently closed the door.
This inn is full of Kui Shili's people, from maids to the shopkeeper, all of them are well-trained and have extraordinary skills.
After the maid left, Baili Ye finally spoke: "You promised to lend me a helping hand, and now I urgently need your help! I want to ascend the throne!"
His face was grim and his words were chilling.
He had had enough and had wanted to resolve everything quietly, but now it seemed that he had no choice but to stain the capital with blood.
Kui Shili didn't even raise his eyebrows. He picked up the teacup and took a sip with a calm expression, his attitude seeming nonchalant.
Baili Ye frowned and stared at Kui Shili.
Kui Shili did not respond. Baili Ye's patience ran out, his face dark as water: "We once made an agreement to help me ascend the throne as emperor!"
"Yes."
Kuishili put down his teacup: "I did promise you."
"That's why I rescued you and hid you in the capital.
"Kui Shili said calmly, his dark purple eyes were deep and unfathomable, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Baili Ye was extremely anxious: "We are out of time. Any further delay will only make things more difficult! Now the emperor has found the eldest prince, the deposed prince has returned to the court, and there is also a seventh prince who is eyeing us covetously."
When he thought of this, he became furious and wished he could remove all those stumbling blocks one by one.
Kui Shili smiled slightly, looking relaxed: "It's you who's anxious, not me."
"You!" Baili Ye slammed the table, and the sound exploded in the quiet room.
Hearing the noise, the guards outside the door rushed into the room like arrows from a bow, with scimitars drawn, and confronted Baili Ye's guards. The two sides were on the verge of a fight, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Kui Shili waved his hand lightly: "Everyone, leave."
The guards hesitated, worried about their master's safety, but when Kui Shili's voice turned cold and he repeated his order, they had no choice but to put away their weapons and retreat one by one.
Baili Ye also signaled his guards to leave and said soothingly, "Don't panic."
The moment the door closed, the tense atmosphere in the room seemed to be isolated from the outside. Kui Shili continued to sip his tea leisurely, as if nothing had happened.
Baili Ye was extremely anxious. Faced with Kui Shili's indifferent attitude, he felt a surge of anger rushing to his forehead, but he had to endure it at this moment.
Because he needs Kui Shili's help to realize his ambition.
"I was too impatient."
Baili Ye admitted: "I hope to ascend the throne as soon as possible. This will benefit both of us. I promised to cede ten cities to you and guarantee friendly exchanges between our two countries."
Kui Shili finally looked Baili Ye in the face and asked, "So, what do you want?"
"I need to borrow some soldiers." Baili Ye said gritting his teeth, revealing his plan and desire for success.
"If you can lend me some troops, we will have a good chance of winning!" There was a firm light in his eyes, indicating that he would not allow failure.
"Then we will share the glory and wealth. You will become the monarch of Kaifeng, and I will be the new emperor of the dynasty." Baili Ye stared at Kui Shili, trying to persuade him.
Kui Shili smiled, obviously interested in this proposal. After all, the two of them had already joined forces.
However, he reminded: "Your Highness, do you remember our agreement? I will help you seize the throne, and you will help me find that person."
"A long time has passed, and I have helped you many times, but you still haven't completed your part. Do you think I should still trust you?" There was a hint of warning in Kui Shili's voice.
Baili Ye frowned, speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
"This is cooperation, not unilateral aid."
Kui Shili gently stroked the teacup and said calmly: "If you want to borrow troops, fulfill your promise first."
Baili Ye felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest, making it difficult to breathe.
"We can discuss other things after we find that person." As soon as Kui Shili finished speaking, it was obvious that he did not intend to provide assistance easily.
"It will take time to find this person, but I promise I will find him as soon as possible. The most important thing now is to prepare for the rebellion. I have already made all the arrangements. All I need is your military support..."
Baili Ye's voice sounded particularly urgent in the silent room.
Suddenly, a dull sound broke the silence - it was Kui Shili who placed the teacup heavily on the table. The atmosphere instantly turned cold as ice, making people feel chilled in their hearts.
In Baili Ye's impression, Kui Shili is always lazy, gentle, polite, and an ally who is easy to get along with.
However, at this moment, the other person's eyes were as cold as a sharp blade, completely different from usual, which made him feel nervous.
