Zhang Daoling looked at the person in front of him, his mind full of thoughts, love is really a matter of insanity. If it was like this in the previous life, I'm afraid these three people will not end well in this life either.
That day, Cheng Ying came to the dungeon to interrogate him, and it turned out that not all of his words were lies to Cheng Ying.
In his previous life, when the girl was hidden by Cheng Yingjiao, he thought that Cheng Ying would live a peaceful and stable life for the sake of his beloved woman, and would not sit idly by and watch Zhu Kuang's stupidity and allow Taiyan to perish.
But things in the world cannot always go smoothly and perfectly.
"Lord Yu, you should be clear about what kind of person you are." Zhang Daoling sighed. In his previous life, he did not pay much attention to Yu Qizhe, a scholar from a poor family. Even though he was talented and became an official, he was not able to take on any important role during the chaotic times.
In troubled times, we rely on military generals who have military power.
Yu Qizhe's eyes were sharp, his usual calm and composed demeanor completely gone, his aura gloomy.
"What do you think, Taoist Priest?"
Zhang Daoling sighed again, "Your Excellency may appear to be calm and composed, but inwardly he is a dormant and tolerant man who will take revenge for any slight. How can the hatred of having your wife stolen be resolved peacefully?"
Yu Qizhe's gloomy eyes flashed, but he did not deny it.
Zhang Daoling looked at the person in front of him. Who could have thought that a scholar from the countryside who relied on the imperial examination to show his talent in the court would have such shrewdness and will, and that he had gained a firm foothold in the court step by step, and had a rivalry with Cheng Ying, stirring up the situation, waiting for an opportunity, and using Zhu Kuang's hand to plot against Cheng Ying several times, causing a bloody storm, and finally snatching the woman back from Cheng Ying.
And because of his struggle with Cheng Ying for the court, the general trend of the world was pushed forward, and the chaotic times came ahead of time.
"You mean I took her back from Cheng Ying in my previous life?" Yu Qizhe asked with a gloomy look in his eyes, "What happened next?"
"She killed herself."
As soon as Zhang Daoling finished speaking, Yu Qizhe's cold gaze suddenly tightened, and a chilling pressure poured out from him.
Zhang Daoling smiled bitterly. Although he had lied to Cheng Ying before, he was not lying now.
Looking at the historical records, women who were blamed for bringing disaster never had a good ending.
What's more, the people he provoked were two lunatics.
One is a eunuch with selfish desires, and the other looks clear-headed and dignified, but that is just a cover-up. He is probably no less evil than Cheng Ying in his heart.
Yu Qizhe gripped the iron fence with his joints tensely. He didn't believe that Yu Jiao would commit suicide given her personality. But he couldn't help but think sadly, what kind of situation must she have been forced into to end up committing suicide?
"So in this life, in order to avoid another tragedy, I tricked Cheng Ying into staying in Fahua Temple for ten years to miss the chance to meet and recognize that woman." But he had selfish motives and deliberately gave Cheng Ying two birth dates, saying that they were related to the woman's reincarnation. In fact, he wanted Cheng Ying to accept Yu Qizhe as his apprentice. On the one hand, he wanted the two of them to get along for a few years as master and apprentice. In the future, when they meet in battle, they might consider the relationship between master and apprentice and avoid the bloody storm in the previous life. On the other hand, Yu Qizhe was able to become the prime minister of the cabinet with his talent in the previous life. If Cheng Ying helped him, it would only be more powerful.
Deep down, Zhang Daoling didn't want the final winner to be Cheng Ying, a person from another world who shouldn't exist in the first place. He wanted Yu Qizhe to check and balance Cheng Ying like he did in his previous life, and be the final winner.
The most crucial thing is that in this life he learned that the former crown prince Zhu Chen still had descendants alive in the world, and Cheng Ying actually saved the life of the crown prince without Zhu Kuang's knowledge.
This was not something he remembered from his previous two lives. As long as the bloodline of the orthodox Heavenly Dao was not broken, there was hope of restoring order.
This life is indeed very different from the previous one. Tai Yan has lived in peace for more than ten years, and there has been no chaos in the world until now. The Crown Prince ascended the throne and became emperor, and the orthodox way of heaven continued.
He has no regrets.
"Please help me call Li Chu in. I have something to say to him." Zhang Daoling said.
After learning what he wanted to know, Yu Qizhe decided not to stay in this dungeon any longer. He turned around and walked outside. His tall figure looked particularly firm and resolute in the darkness.
He was able to snatch Jiaojiao back in his previous life, let alone in this life?
He walked out of the corridor along the stone steps and told Wei Lichu, who immediately hurried back to the dungeon.
Yang Jiyan was being held captive. She was trembling with fear in her heart. She said to Yu Qizhe with a pitiful face, "Sir, can you let me go home? I have been missing for several months. I think my father must be very worried..."
Yu Qizhe glanced at her with a look as sharp as a knife. Yang Jiyan immediately broke out in a cold sweat on her back. She had already witnessed the cruelty and ruthlessness of the man in front of her. All his tenderness and consideration belonged to that one woman.
Her voice trembled. She hated and feared Yu Qizhe. She knew she had offended him badly a long time ago, but she wanted to live. Without her life, she would lose everything.
"For the sake of my father, please spare my life." Yang Jiyan intended to ask Yu Qizhe to consider her for the sake of her father Yang Yuanchen.
Yu Qizhe smiled faintly, and that smile made Yang Jiyan feel a chill down her spine for no reason, as if a ferocious beast had bared its fangs and pounced on her with its claws and teeth bared.
"Okay, I'll let you go." Yu Qizhe suddenly said, "Let me ask you, did I have a wife in my previous life?"
Yang Jiyan immediately grasped at a life-saving straw. She shook her head at first, then hurriedly said, "You didn't do that after you became an official, but you did marry a wife in the countryside before you became an official."
"who is she?"
Yang Jiyan bit her lip, and even though she was unwilling, she still said honestly: "She is your current wife."
Yu Qizhe smiled. It seemed that Yang Jiyan died too early in her previous life and didn’t know what happened afterwards.
He was a little bored. Zhang Daoling had said so much but never mentioned whether Jiaojiao had loved him in her previous life. But he thought that she must have loved him, otherwise, with his cold and indifferent personality, why would he have spent his whole life competing with Cheng Ying?
