Ning Yongnian and Li Huaizhong want to make a deal to find out the secrets around them.
However, the two of them did not know that there was actually more than one ghost lurking in the Daning court.
After all, the Tongzhou Association has always been well hidden. Not only are its members all powerful ministers, but they also cover each other secretly, so it is really difficult to be suspected.
But since Li Huaizhong agreed to the deal, it meant that he must have a "suitable" candidate.
Obviously, this person can only be Youjia.
You Jia is indeed Wei Changtian's person, and it is also true that she leaked Bai Youheng's whereabouts to the latter.
Li Huaizhong knew these things very well.
For him, there is only one problem at the moment——
Should I betray Youjia?
If it were more specific, it would be "Do you want to betray Wei Changtian?"
Actually, saying "betrayal" is not very accurate.
Because Li Huaizhong was not Wei Changtian's subordinate, the two of them had a relationship where they each got what they needed from beginning to end.
The former needs a way to cure the hidden disease of Yin Yang Gong, and the latter needs a nail buried beside Ning Yongnian.
Now that the transaction between the two has been completed, they are essentially in a state of "no debt to each other", so even if Li Huaizhong really sells You Jia, it cannot be said to be a "betrayal".
But you must know that if he really does this, he will definitely suffer revenge from Wei Changtian in the future.
Li Huaizhong once witnessed Wei Changtian kill a second-rank man with one move on the top of Yanyun Mountain.
In addition, although I didn't see it with my own eyes, it was certain that I could kill Jing Yuan with one move and defeat Meng Shi with one move... There is no doubt that Wei Changtian has definitely mastered a magical power that can kill second-level people, and
Can be cast multiple times.
Therefore, Li Huaizhong's fear of Wei Changtian actually exceeded his fear of Ning Yongnian.
Now that he has reached the point where he has to choose a side, and no matter who he chooses, he will offend the other one... Li Huaizhong's first reaction is to completely switch sides to Wei Changtian.
but......
"Crack, snap, snap!"
The fluorescent light of the ever-burning lamp slightly illuminated the long corridor with carved railings and jade columns. The downpour hit the ground along the sloping tiles, and then merged into a small pool along the exquisitely designed water channel.
This small pond is not big, but after so much rain, the water level is still as high as before. I don’t know why.
Li Huaizhong lowered his head and hurriedly walked through the corridor, his shadow was blurry and unreal.
Then, he stopped in front of another figure who was also unclear.
"Longque, get ready."
"Tonight you will leave the palace with the emperor and go to Yuanzhou."
...
...
The next day, Dafeng Palace.
Hard stone walls, humid air, narrow stone paths, and swaying firelight.
Wei Changtian learned about Ning Yongnian and Youjia's departure from Beijing on the way to see Yu Pingjun.
He glanced at Li Wutong who was following behind and didn't know what he was thinking, and then asked in a low voice to Chu Xianping beside him:
"Brother Chu, what do you think Ning Yongnian is going to do in Yuanzhou this time?"
"Not sure."
Chu Xianping shook his head: "Maybe he is going to Feng County to reward the frontline soldiers."
"Well, but why does he want to go at this time?"
Wei Changtian boldly guessed: "Does this mean there will be changes in the war in Yuanzhou?"
"This...should not be possible."
Chu Xianping understood that Wei Changtian meant "Da Ning wants to counterattack", and after thinking about it, he gave his own opinion:
"Ning Yongnian has not increased his troops in Fengxian, and Dafeng's 500,000 elite troops have retreated to Yuanzhou City. Under such circumstances, a rash counterattack will not gain any advantage at all, and may even lose the natural danger of Fengxian.
"
"Therefore, Ning Yongnian has no reason to choose this time to counterattack Yuanzhou City...unless he has a bigger plan."
A bigger plan.
As soon as these words came out, Wei Changtian immediately thought of Yu Pingjun and Bai Youheng.
Could it be that the conspiracy they are planning with Ning Yongnian...is related to the war in Yuanzhou?
But what kind of plan requires the participation of Bai Youheng and Yu Pingjun?
Even if Bai Youheng is a son of heaven, no matter how awesome a person is, he cannot influence the situation of the war.
What's more, Lord Yu Ping is far away in Fengyuan, so he can't intervene in the war in Yuanzhou...
If you look at it from God's perspective, Wei Changtian finally connected the clues he knew at this time and had a correct direction.
However, even if we find the right direction, we are still far from the truth.
"Master Wei! Master Chu!"
Suddenly, a voice from the front interrupted Wei Changtian's thinking.
After several jailers stood up and said hello respectfully, their eyes rested on Li Wutong, who was following closely behind.
"I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Although they reacted immediately, the tone of several people could be heard to be quite surprised, as if they didn't understand why Li Wutong appeared here.
However, Wei Changtian definitely didn't have time to explain to them, so he just calmed down and waved his hand.
"Open the cell door."
"yes!"
"..."
"boom!"
After a full day, the cell door of Tianzijia No. 1 opened again, and soon closed again.
Standing in front of Yu Pingjun with a calm expression, Wei Changtian was silent for a long time, and then reached out to untie the former's acupuncture points.
"Cough, cough!"
Several rapid coughs were heard, and Yu Pingjun's face turned even paler after not drinking water for two days and two nights.
However, her expression was still the same as yesterday, with a hint of teasing between her brows and eyes.
"Mr. Wei, looking at you, you probably didn't make it in time last night."
Slowly sitting up, Yu Pingjun looked at the silent Wei Changtian with a smile, and was the first to speak sarcastically: "Why don't you, Master, tell me what that bitch will look like when he knows his identity?"
"Hmm...I guess you must be in a state of despair. I'm afraid you will hate me to death."
"Keke, I really want to see it with my own eyes."
"What a pity..."
There seemed to be a sense of satisfaction in avenging a great revenge in the piercing laughter.
However, Wei Changtian didn't have any extreme reaction when he heard this. He just glanced at Yu Pingjun and shook his head.
"Queen, since you want to know, then I will tell you."
"You were half right. The princess really couldn't accept it after she found out she was a demon. She even wanted to die for a time."
"But...she doesn't hate you."
"..."
The smile suddenly froze, and Yu Pingjun's shoulders suddenly trembled slightly.
But she quickly suppressed this emotion and her tone became a bit colder.
"Master Wei, such little tricks are of no use to me."
"Even if she really doesn't hate me, my hatred for her will not change. Based on this alone, you don't have to waste your efforts."
"Queen, believe it or not, it's up to you."
Looking at Yu Pingjun, Wei Changtian's expression did not change at all: "I just told you the facts."
"Whether you hate the princess or not, that's your business. Anyway, the princess has never hated you from the beginning to the end."
"She even insisted on coming with me today, saying she had something she wanted to tell you."
"What? You, you mean..."
Yu Pingjun's pupils suddenly shrank: "She's here too?!"
"yes."
Nodding, Wei Changtian calmly pointed to the tightly closed cell door.
