Chapter 367: Enemy Meeting
Ning Yongnian wants to make a deal with Li Huaizhong to find out the spies around him.
However, the two of them did not know that there was actually more than one traitor lurking in the court of Daning.
After all, Tongzhouhui has always been very hidden. Not only are all its members powerful officials, but they also cover for each other in secret, so it is indeed difficult to be suspected.
But since Li Huaizhong agreed to the deal, it means that he must have a "suitable" candidate.
Obviously, this person can only be Youjia.
You Jia is indeed Wei Changtian's person, and it was indeed she who 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 You Jia? If I were to be more specific, it would be "Should I betray Wei Changtian?"
In fact, the word "betrayal" is not very accurate.
Because Li Huaizhong was not Wei Changtian's subordinate, the two of them had a mutually beneficial relationship from the beginning to the end.
The former requires a way to cure the hidden disease of Yin-Yang Power, and the latter requires a nail buried next to Ning Yongnian.
Now that the transaction between the two has been completed, they are essentially in a state of "owing nothing to each other", so even if Li Huaizhong really sold You Jia, it cannot be considered "betrayal".
But you have to know that if he really did this, he would definitely suffer revenge from Wei Changtian in the future.
Li Huaizhong once witnessed Wei Changtian kill a second-rank official with one move at the top of Yanyun Mountain.
In addition, although he did not see it with his own eyes, it was certain that he killed Jing Yuan with one move and defeated Meng Shi with one move. There is no doubt that Wei Changtian definitely mastered a magical power that can kill a second-grade realm cultivator, and he can use it 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, Li Huaizhong's first reaction is to completely switch sides to Wei Changtian.
But "Pah-pah-pah!"
The fluorescent light of the eternal lamp dimly illuminated the long corridor with carved railings and jade bricks. The heavy rain fell on the ground along the sloping tiles, and then flowed into a small pool along the ingeniously designed canal.
This small pond is not big, but after so much rain water has been added, the water level is still as high as before. I don’t know why.
Li Huaizhong lowered his head and walked hurriedly through the corridor, his shadow blurry and unreal.
Then, he stopped in front of another equally unclear figure.
"Longque, get ready."
"Tonight you will go out of the palace with the emperor and go to Yuanzhou."
The next day, Dafeng Palace.
Solid stone walls, humid air, narrow stone paths, and flickering firelight.
Wei Changtian learned the news that Ning Yongnian and You Jia had left Beijing on his way to meet Yu Pingjun.
He glanced at Li Wutong, who was following behind him and wondering what he was thinking, and then whispered to Chu Xianping beside him: "Brother Chu, what do you think Ning Yongnian is going to do in Yuanzhou this time?"
“I don’t know.”
Chu Xianping shook his head: "Maybe he is going to Fengxian to reward the soldiers on the front line."
"Yeah, but why would he go at this time?"
Wei Changtian made a bold guess: "Does this mean that there will be changes in the war in Yuanzhou?"
"This. It shouldn't happen."
Chu Xianping understood that Wei Changtian meant "Da Ning wants to counterattack", and after thinking for a while, he gave his own opinion: "Ning Yongnian has not sent more troops to Feng County, and Da Feng's 500,000 elite troops have all retreated to Yuanzhou City. Under such circumstances, a rash counterattack will not gain any advantage at all, and may even lose the natural barrier of Feng County."
"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 instantly thought of Yu Pingjun and Bai Youheng.
Could it be that the conspiracy they were planning with Ning Yongnian was related to the war in Yuanzhou? But what kind of plan would require the participation of Bai Youheng and Yu Pingjun? Even if Bai Youheng was the son of heaven, no matter how powerful a person was, he could not influence the situation of the war.
Moreover, Yu Pingjun was far away in Fengyuan, so he couldn't intervene in the war in Yuanzhou. If we look at it from a God's perspective, Wei Changtian finally connected the clues he knew and had the right direction.
However, even if we find the right direction, we are still a long way from the truth.
"Master Wei! Master Chu!"
Suddenly, a voice from the front interrupted Wei Changtian's thoughts.
After several jailers stood up and greeted him respectfully, their eyes fell on Li Wutong who was following closely behind.
"Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Although they reacted immediately, one could tell from their tone that they were actually quite surprised, as if they didn't understand why Li Wutong was here.
However, Wei Changtian certainly didn't have the time to explain to them. He just calmed down and waved his hand.
"Open the cell door."
"yes!"
“.”
"boom!"
After a whole day, the door of cell No. 1 was opened again, and soon closed again.
Standing in front of Yu Pingjun with a calm expression, Wei Changtian was silent for a while, then reached out and untied the former's acupoints.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
A few rapid coughs were heard. Yu Pingjun's face became even paler due to not having a drop of water for two days and two nights.
However, her expression was still the same as yesterday, with teasing in her eyes.
"Master Wei, judging from your condition, you probably didn't make it in time last night."
Sitting up slowly, Yu Pingjun looked at the silent Wei Changtian with a smile and was the first to speak sarcastically: "How about you, sir, tell me what that bastard will look like when he knows his identity?"
"Well, I guess he must be in despair. He must hate me to death."
"Hahaha, I really want to see it with my own eyes."
“What a pity.”
There seemed to be a sense of pride in the creepy laughter, as if there was revenge.
However, Wei Changtian did not react excessively when he heard this. He just glanced at Yu Pingjun and shook his head.
"Queen, since you want to know, I will tell you."
"You guessed half right. After the princess knew that she was a demon, she couldn't accept it and even wanted to commit suicide at one point."
"But she doesn't hate you."
“.”
The smile froze instantly, and Yu Pingjun's shoulders suddenly trembled slightly.
But she quickly suppressed this emotion, and her tone became a little colder.
"Master Wei, such little tricks are useless to me."
"Even if she really doesn't hate me, my hatred for her won't change. Just based on this point, you don't have to waste your efforts."
"Queen, it's up to you whether you believe it or not."
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 is your business. Anyway, the princess has never hated you from beginning to end."
"She even insisted on coming with me today, saying that she had something to tell you."
"What? You mean?"
Yu Pingjun's pupils suddenly contracted: "She's here too?!"
"yes."
Nodding, Wei Changtian calmly pointed to the tightly closed prison door.
"It's right outside the door right now."
"Queen, do you want to see me?"
