The small shabby room in the Chenghuang Temple was extremely quiet.

It's not that I finished what I was supposed to say last night.

But except for Mr. Ding Da, the other three people were deep in thought.

Of course, the fourth princess Ning Chuchu must be rescued. This was the consensus reached by the four of them, so Mr. Ding Da asked the eldest son Han to leave first.

He must stop Ning Chuchu from going to Maple City.

Because Maple City will become extremely chaotic.

What they are thinking about now is what Mr. Ding Da said——

"Changsun Jinghong told him in Huaishan County that the person who really had the opportunity to attack Queen Lu was Princess Liyang!"

Princess Liyang is now the wife of Yan Jidao, the great master of Ningguo!

After Li Chenan became the regent, although the title of Duke was abolished, the Yan Mansion... he was still the huge Yan Mansion!

During the Incident in Kyoto, Xi Wei, who had still not shown up, did not know how he persuaded the Yan Mansion, or how he controlled Yan Jinong, the supreme commander of the Red Flame Army.

After the Red Flame Army occupied Yujing City, they did not launch a final attack on the imperial palace.

Instead, they went out of the city to eliminate the forces that Huai Pingshan, Duke Huai Guo, had deployed in the two guard cities over the years.

They had the great crime of attacking Yujing City, but they also had the great merit of defending Yujing City.

They slaughtered almost all the officials of Jitai's family, and also smashed the big conspiracy laid out by Huaiping Mountain for more than ten years.

So, who does this Red Flame Army take orders from?

Xi Wei, is this unusual move of his... really just to support Li Chenan's rise to power?

The Yan family was originally in conflict with Ji Tai, but Yan Jinong clearly went against the wishes of his father, Yan Jinyue.

The most angry one is probably Princess Liyang!

If the Red Flame Army follows the plan, the Red Flame Army will fight to the death with the Shenwu Army in Kyoto.

If the Red Flame Army wins, there will be no regent in the Ning Kingdom!

As for who will ascend the throne as emperor, it depends on Princess Liyang's will.

If Chiyan's army is defeated... then the Duke's Mansion of the State of Yan will inevitably be wiped out like the Shangchehou Mansion.

No one expected that the result would be a draw.

The Red Flame Army even obeyed the regent's order and actually left Kyoto with the army and went to Wuyaguan.

The Shenwu Army would have obeyed the regent's orders, so they went to Dongquguan, east of Ningguo.

Although the Yan Mansion no longer has the title of Duke, no one in the Yan Mansion has been implicated.

At least not yet.

At this moment, Mr. Ding Da said that Princess Liyang was most likely the mastermind behind Queen Lu's death... She is still alive, so of course Queen Lu's revenge has not been avenged.

Who will report it?

"Li Chenan is not the eldest son of the emperor. There is no doubt about this, so he did not touch the Yan Mansion."

Mr. Ding Da picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then said: "What's more, there is also a great master in Yan Mansion, Yan Jidao, but Yan Jidao is also a person with a great sense of justice."

"The Marquis also said just now that when Huaiping Mountain was attacking Yunjibieye, Yan Jidao was there and he took action for Yunjibieye."

"When Changsun Jinghong was alive..."

Mr. Ding Da turned to Xia Yunhu and asked, "Has he ever evaluated Yan Jidao in front of you?"

Xia Yunhu nodded, "Sir, you have a very high opinion of Yan Jidao and think that he and Mrs. Fan are both the true guardians of Ningguo!"

After saying this, Xia Yunhu added: "The gentleman said that there are only five people in the world who are worthy of his true trust."

"One of them is Mr. Big."

"Second, Li Chenan!"

"The three kings are at the golden bell."

"The fourth Yanji Road."

He only mentioned four names, so I guess the last name must be Fan Taohua.

Except for Li Chenan, all these five people can understand.

But why does Changsun Jinghong trust Li Chenan so much, who has not known him for too long?

This may be because of Li Chenan's grandfather Li Chunfu.

No one digs into it because it's not important.

Mr. Ding Da put down the tea cup and said again: "After much thought, I have found that Li Chenan really has no ambition to ascend the throne and become emperor."

"He stayed in the Yan Mansion, perhaps because he had concerns about the Red Flame Army, and perhaps because of considerations about Yan Jidao. Of course, he might also have kept Princess Liyang until he took back the real eldest son of the emperor.

After the eldest son ascends the throne and becomes emperor, this matter will be left to the new emperor."

After saying this, he raised his eyes to Kang Shiji, who was sitting next to him, "I have wronged you over the years."

Kang Shiji quickly bowed his hands and replied: "Subordinate, I am ashamed!"

"Xi Wei is so cunning. I have been a housekeeper in the Prime Minister's Mansion for so many years, but I still don't know his true identity."

"My subordinates also failed to save Lao Miao... This is my incompetence!"

Mr. Ding Da waved his hand, "This is not your fault."

He then explained to Xia Yunhu, who was quite surprised: "He, Kang Shiji, is the person who was buried next to Jitai when I was still in the Imperial City Division twenty years ago."

"Jitai was not the prime minister at that time, but he was already the minister of household affairs."

"Shi Ji, what I want to ask you is, the second prince Ning Zhixing, did he appear again in the Prime Minister's Mansion later?"

Kang Shiji shook his head: "Until the Prime Minister's Mansion was destroyed, the second prince never appeared again."

Mr. Ding Da frowned slightly, "So...Li Chenan really killed him in Shuangjiao Mountain?"

He shook his head and rejected the idea, "This is wrong. If Li Chenan really killed the second prince, he would not leave Ji An's life behind..."

"What does this kid mean?"

"Where will he hide the second prince?"

"If we really keep the second prince, what's the point?"

Mr. Ding Da couldn't figure it out, and neither could the other three.

Whether the person is alive or dead or the body is not seen, after all, it can only be a conjecture.

This matter, at least for now, doesn't seem to be important.

There are two important things -

The safety of the fourth princess Ning Chuchu.

And the safety of Yanyunguan!

Things have priorities, and it is obvious that these two things are urgent at the moment.

Especially Yanyunguan, this is directly related to whether the already precarious Ningguo will become worse.

But now Mr. Ding Da is no longer worried.

Because it’s warm and rainy in Kyoto.

It was also because although Zhongli Po himself was in Pingjiang City, the 30,000 soldiers he brought out from Shuzhou during the Kyoto Incident may have almost reached Yanyunguan at this moment.

This is the arrangement of Li Chenan and Wen Boyu.

Although this regent is young, he thinks about Zhou Xiang very well.

"Then the next step is the battle of Feng County!"

Mr. Ding Da turned to Xia Yunhu again, "The battle in Feng County is yours."

"Don't worry, Mr. Ding! I, Xia Yunhu... will definitely live up to my destiny!"

"Okay, Shiji, I have to ask you to stay in Yufu for a while, but I think this time won't be too long."

"My subordinates understand that they will closely monitor the movements of Yu Wanzhi and others!"

"Well, let's do that."

Everyone stood up, Xia Yunhu and Kang Shiji left, but Zhongli Po did not leave.

He and Mr. Ding Da came to the yard. Looking at the white snow and red plum blossoms around, Zhongli asked suddenly:

"If Chen An doesn't take back the eldest son of the emperor... what do you think we should do?"

Mr. Ding Da raised his head and looked at the dark blue sky. He pondered for a long time before speaking:

"At that time, I left Huaishan County not because I was afraid of death, but because... Changsun Jinghong told me something."

"This matter is too incredible."

"Wait a minute, let's see if what Sun Jinghong said is true."

He did not say what unbelievable things Changsun Jinghong told him.

Zhonglipo didn't know why, so Mr. Ding Da withdrew his gaze and asked Zhonglipo a question:

"It's not a good thing that Xi Wei's daughter is with the Regent. What do you think, Lord Marquis?"
