"Juju?"

"Yes, I...I want to leave the capital, so I plan to get together before leaving."

"You have to leave the capital!!"

Xu Tong looked at Li Xi very unexpectedly, with confusion and reluctance in his eyes.

Li Xi looked at the look in Xu Tong's eyes, and couldn't help but feel a prick in his heart.

He lowered his head involuntarily, not daring to look into Xu Tong's eyes.

"Brother Ma, the capital is too chaotic. I want to go out for a walk. I heard that there are many foreigners in Tianjin. I plan to find an opportunity to go to Tianjin and take a look."

Li Xi made up an excuse at random, but it can't be said to be completely false. At least the fact that he left the capital was true.

"oh!"

Xu Tong sighed, rummaged in his pocket and took out five or six banknotes.

"I don't know if you have this idea. You don't have that much money with you when you go out. You can take it first. If you want to be transferred to Tianjin, you need to take care of it. You use it first. If it's not enough, I will get it for you."

As he spoke, he put the banknote into Li Xi's hand.

"Brother Marco!"

Looking at the banknote falling on his hand, Li Xi's nose felt hot.

"Stop being pretentious, we are good brothers, isn't our life-long friendship worth some money??"

Xu Tong's face was stern, and Li Xi couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder and said sincerely: "Promise me to be a good person!"

After saying that, Xu Tong waved his hand and walked out the door.

It wasn't until he walked out of the door that Xu Tong couldn't help but smile on his face: "What a perfect performance!"

Li Xi looked at his back shaking slightly from time to time, but in his mind he could not help but recall the image of Ma Hongwen holding back tears.

Suddenly, Li Xi's eyes became blurred.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of Cining Palace.

With white hair and snow falling, on the steps outside Cining Palace, stood an old eunuch with a face full of scabies and pustules, and a sinister air between his brows.

But this eunuch was wearing a brown second-grade official uniform, holding a whisk in his hand, and wearing a specially-given three-eyed feather on his scarlet official hat.

That was the pinnacle of power that all the eunuchs in the entire Forbidden City aspired to, and their power even exceeded that of all the eunuchs in the Datong Dynasty.

When he first entered the palace, he took a distant look at this powerful eunuch. At that time, there was only two words in his eyes: envy.

But now, this envy is gone.

In order to escape the Maoshan Sect's pursuit, he had no choice but to hide in the palace.

Exchanging a man's dignity for royal protection was a very good deal, at least at the time.

But now, this decadent dynasty can no longer provide him with long-term protection.

The only thing Li Xi could do was to leave and take the best interests on board the broken ship before it sank.
