Wan Qiqi rolled her eyes and got up to leave.

Although Xiao Huai's words were correct, she didn't like his tone of voice.

"If something happens to you, do you think Chen Yongnian can come back safely?" Xiao Huai reminded him.

Wan Qiqi stopped and turned to look at Xiao Huai, "Are the bandits in Pinghe County related to this place?"

“There have never been any bandits in Pinghe County. It’s probably that group of remnants who were used as pawns to lure Chen Yongnian out so they could take action against you!” Xiao Huaiping said calmly, without any emotion.

"So, you know who's behind this?" Wan Qiqi returned to her seat.

"It's uncertain; we can only analyze it based on the current situation in the court. The current emperor is obsessed with beautiful women, the court is in turmoil, and everyone is divided into factions. Among them, Elder Xu has the deepest influence. As long as he doesn't die, his students won't disperse, and it will be even more difficult for them to seize power!"

As Xiao Huai spoke, he picked up the cold tea in front of him and took a sip.

He sighed and said, "I never thought that even after arriving in Yunhe County, I still couldn't escape these power struggles!"

Wan Qiqi knew that the struggles in the ancient imperial court were fierce, but she never expected that they would extend to this small Yunhe County.

I never expected that I would be implicated.

Wan Qiqi asked, "What's the point of them killing me?"

"The focus isn't on you, but on the people connected to you. For example, Wan Ziyan, and the Prince of Huaibei..."

Xiao Huai's unprecedented seriousness and his analysis of the court made Wan Qiqi look at him with new respect.

Although I am insignificant in Daxing.

However, he himself became a pawn in the court's power struggle.

If something happens to him and Chen Yongnian, it means that Old Xu has taken a step back.

Then those people will gradually approach and use similar methods to eliminate those around Old Xu.

Wan Qiqi didn't know who was right and who was wrong.

But she knew that the ideas and beliefs of the old man she knew were deeply appreciated by her.

If Old Master Xu were not here, perhaps the corner I uncovered would return to the original feudal darkness.
