Liu Xie, who became more and more angry the more he thought about it, snatched the wine glass and drank the wine in the glass in one go.

The spicy wine flowed down his throat, but it could not destroy the anger in his heart.

He slapped the wine glass on the table, looked at Xi Yu and said, "Xi Yu, look, what's this? I wanted to have a good drink with you, but I was disturbed by this assassin."

Xi Yu frowned slightly. He could understand Liu Xie's anger, but he also knew that it was not appropriate to say anything more at this moment.

He just nodded slightly, with a little complicated emotion in his eyes.

Liu Xie drank a few more glasses of wine one after another, and the resentment lingered in his heart, making him unable to calm down for a long time.

Finally, Xi Yu said, "Your Majesty, don't blame yourself anymore. This matter will definitely be found out. I asked a secret guard to stay and start investigating it."

After hearing this, Liu Xie nodded slightly to agree.

Xi Yu immediately ordered a secret guard to take away the assassin's body. The secret guard quickly carried the body and quietly left in the night.

Xi Yu looked at the direction of the secret guards' departure with a sharp look, and solemnly reminded: "Carely check it based on his appearance characteristics and all clues such as his body, and do not miss any clues."

The secret guard took the order and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight. Liu Xie looked at this scene and his emotions eased a little.

He knew that Xi Yu's secret guards were extremely efficient, and with them participating in the investigation, he might be able to find out the mastermind as soon as possible.

Then, Liu Xie bowed slightly and asked Xi Yu with a little earnestness: "Xi Yu, I have something to ask for. I hope you can send troops to station here. First, to protect my safety, and second, to avoid another assassin attack."

After hearing this, Xi Yu felt that what Liu Xie said was very reasonable.

He pondered for a moment, then called a servant, took out a military talisman from his arms, and solemnly handed it to his servant, and ordered: "Take this military talisman, quickly go to the Black and White Cavalry, and transfer five thousand soldiers and horses to come."

The servant took the military talisman with both hands, responded respectfully, and hurriedly left.

Liu Xie was full of gratitude when he saw Xi Yu's actions.

He knew that Xi Yu was sincerely helping him. With the stationing of these five thousand soldiers, his safety was more guaranteed.

Xi Yu leaned on the chair and said with a deep look: "Your Majesty, with these five thousand soldiers, you should be safe in the short term. But we still need to find the mastermind behind the assassin as soon as possible to prevent future troubles."

Liu Xie nodded repeatedly and expressed his agreement.

At the same time, Xi Yu's expression became serious. He solemnly said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, after these troops are sent here, I hope you will not feel uncomfortable, and don't mistakenly think that the weak minister has the intention to rebel."

Liu Xie burst into laughter after hearing this.

He waved his hand and said, "What is the Prime Minister saying? Even if I don't trust the rest of the world, I will never distrust you. Prime Minister's actions will only make me feel at ease and able to sleep peacefully."

Xi Yu looked at Liu Xie's sincere appearance and let go of the worries in his heart.

He knew that in this complex situation, the trust between the monarch and the ministers was extremely fragile, but at present, Liu Xie still trusted him very much.

This night is destined to be an uneasy night.

Xi Yu decided to stay tonight with a serious look. He said firmly: "You are willing to ask Your Majesty Sang Weichen to stay, and you must investigate it clearly."

Liu Xie nodded slightly, his slightly tired face was filled with trust in Xi Yu.

"So do you need to issue an announcement or something?" Liu Xie asked softly. He knew that this matter was of great importance, and if he was not careful, it would cause turmoil in the court.

But Xi Yu waved his hand, and a confident light flashed in his deep eyes: "It's unnecessary. There are some things that fewer people know, the better."

Liu Xie looked at Xi Yu and said sincerely: "Tonight, you can sleep in the same bed with me."

When Xi Yu heard this, he was shocked and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I must not. I am a minister, and it is actually an act of invasion to have sex with Your Majesty."

Liu Xie looked at Xi Yu's respectful appearance and felt both emotion and helpless. He smiled and waved his hand: "Forget it, I know what you think."

So Liu Xie immediately ordered his left and right to arrange a comfortable residence for Xi Yu in the side hall.

Soon, the attendants cleaned up a room in the side hall.

Although the room is not as luxurious as Liu Xie's bedroom, it is also elegant and comfortable to be decorated.

Xi Yu followed the attendant to the room. He looked around, feeling full of gratitude.

Liu Xie personally sent Xi Yu to the door and said earnestly: "I have been wronged in the past few days. I hope you can find out the truth as soon as possible."

Xi Yu bowed deeply again: "Your Majesty's kindness is unforgettable. I will do my best to live up to your entrustedness."

After Liu Xie left, Xi Yu sat next to the bed, closed his eyes slightly, and began to sort out the clues about what happened today.

However, after Liu Xie returned to the dormitory, he felt unable to calm down for a long time.

And at this moment, a neat sound of horse hooves came.
