Chapter 583 Xi Yong Knows His Mistakes!

"Prime Minister Xi, why are you asking such a question?"

General Li asked Xi Ying with a confused face.

Xi Ying turned around completely to face the middle-aged General. This time, his eyes were filled with coldness and indifference as he looked at him and said

"General Li, this Lord thinks that you still do take him as your friend?"

There was no need to say the name. Xi Ying knew that General Li must have understood who he was talking about and this was worse.

Sure enough, General Li's face went blank for a few moments, and then he looked at Xi Ying without saying anything or answering his question.

Xi Ying couldn't help but scoff seeing this.

His fists were clenched tightly as he whispered

"I can't believe that a man who wishes to kill your daughter ..you think of that man as your friend!"

"Prime Minister Xi.."

General Li wanted to speak but Xi Ying raised his palm indicating him not to say anything. He stepped forward his cold eyes didn't move away from General Li's face.

historical

"Let this Lord make one thing clear to you, General Li. If you are not with this Lord with your whole heart, then there is no need to pretend because this Lord despises the people who pretend and lie."

General Li's frowned deeply as he sighed looking away from Xi Ying's cold eyes.

"Prime Minister Xi, why are you suddenly talking about this? Do you think that this General will betray you?"

A cold smirk graced Xi Ying's lips on hearing the question. He intentionally provoked the general.

"Maybe ..who knows."

General Li had an incredulous expression on his face as he looked at Xi Ying.

"Prime Minister Xi. For god's sake, even if you didn't wish to believe me at all, one thing should still make you believe. You are my daughter's husband. Would this General, as a father, ever wish to make his own daughter a widow?"

Xi Ying's eyes however didn't even flicker at General Li's words. He looked at General Li with a deadpanned face as he said coldly.

"Then why did you inform Zhao Wang Lei's shadow guard that Second Madam Li is fine now?"

General Li was surely startled on hearing this. He wondered how Xi Ying got to know about this. However, soon he thought that nothing could stay hidden from Xi Ying as long as something happened in Xi Manor.

"He helped as well."

Xi Ying silently watched General who was trying to defend himself.

"I just wanted him to know in the exchange for his help."

Stepping forward again, Xi Ying was now very close to General Li's face. His cold eyes drilled holes in General Li's face as he tried to enlighten him

"He did nothing for us. Everything he did was for himself...you know it very well."

"But.."

"No but's ....General Li! If this small thing can be counted as his help in your eyes, then this Lord doesn't think that you are the appropriate person to accompany me in this battle."

Xi Ying's eyes were filled with rage as he remembered the most horrible dream he had seen in his life..his past life.

"You don't even what kind of sins he had committed..even if God comes down and asks this Lord to forgive Zhao Wang Lei, this Lord will still have the wish to kill him until my last breath."

General Li's eyes went wide with shock. He saw how much hatred there was in Xi Ying's eyes. Zhao Wang Lei schemed against his clan and he had been very angry. He also wished to kill Zhao Wang Lei at that time.

But General Li had never felt this much hatred for Zhao Wang Lei.

Xi Ying looked as if killing Zhao Wang Lei was the most important thing for him to do.

Xi Ying didn't care for the surprise in General Li's eyes, he silently turned around and then left from there while General LI stood there pondering over his words.

He was trying to realize exactly where he went wrong! Otherwise, Xi Ying would not have reacted like this.

A few moments later, Xi Ying was standing outside his study room.

He looked at the fifty shadow guards who were kneeling on the ground. He nodded his head in satisfaction while inside his heart he couldn't help but wish 'if only they were here yesterday.'

Then his Rui would not have been put in such a great danger by him!

Yesterday, so many things happened but it made Xi Ying realize that he needed to be more careful.

He could never let his guards down as he had already stepped inside the battlefield. So many mistakes he committed in the last few days put the people around him, his wife whom he treasured deeply in danger.

First, he gave such an important matter to Zhao Zhuang Chen to manage and it led Yi Huiqing to get attacked, and then he left only An Ju at Xi Manor to protect Li Rui even after knowing how those vicious people were waiting for such an opportunity.

Xi Ying's mood was not much good.

"Get up."

He said to the shadow guards and after them assigned them different jobs. After all, he still needed to find out who planned to poison Yi Jie.

A few moments later, Xi Ying went back to Plum Courtyard.

He opened the door of the room very slowly.

Li Rui was sleeping inside the room on the bed. Without making any noise, Xi Ying stepped inside the room and then closed the door. After that, he walked towards the door. Looking at Li Rui's peaceful face, Xi Ying apologized to her endlessly.

His hand lingered above her belly but he didn't dare to touch her fearing that she would wake up.

"Father is sorry for putting you in danger."

Xi Ying apologized to her unborn child. After that, he sat there beside Li Rui for more time.

His eyes were blank and no one could guess that he was planning his next move.

After this, he was not going to let Zhao Wang Lei stay alive for long.
