Regarding the incident involving King Wei, the report submitted to the court said that bandits had kidnapped King Wei.
But the truth was that after Xu Nianqing's attempt to prove his identity as the empress's relative through the King of Wei failed, he suddenly heard the news about King Xian and came up with a plan by chance.
At that time, he had not yet become King Xian's adviser by catching the tiger, but he relied on his brain and luck to spy on the connection between King Xian and Duan Ji. He tampered with the letters between the two parties, prompting them to decide to take action against King Wei at the same time.
Duan Ji is the Empress's man, and the Silver Armor Guards trust him very much. If he sends people over, the Silver Armor Guards will definitely not be overly cautious.
This was the main reason why the Silver Armor Guards suffered heavy losses.
After Duan Ji and King Xian took action, Xu Nianqing sent a message to both sides, asking them to unanimously decide to put the blame on Tianhu Village, the bandit nest.
What Xu Nianqing wants is for something to happen to King Wei, so that he can kill people with a borrowed knife and get rid of Tianhuzhai, which has repeatedly caused him losses. At the same time, he will rescue King Wei, lead King Wei to fight back, and with the help of King Wei's power, overthrow the conspiracy of Duan Ji and King Xian.
In this way, he killed several birds with one stone and eventually gained the trust of the King of Wei.
Even if the King of Wei still does not trust him and does not help him, but he has made a name for himself here, those in the court will get the news and will definitely come to investigate his identity and background. Once the identity of the empress's relative is exposed, his way to the capital will be opened.
Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. He planned everything so well, even God was on his side, but Niu Jiuhua suddenly appeared and took the King of Wei to run desperately into the mountains, making it impossible for anyone to find them.
Instead, Xu Nianqing was targeted by Duan Ji because of a small mistake.
Duan Ji is not a good person. In order to avoid Duan Ji, he had to appear in front of King Xian. While gaining a foothold as a counselor, he secretly sent people to look for King Wei.
In the end, the son of destiny made a wrong move, King Xian died, and he was hunted down. However, it was because of him that King Wei returned to the empress safely.
Xiao Li had known the truth a long time ago. Most of the people who deserved to die had died. This was a case that was difficult to solve, so she would not bring it to the surface and continue to investigate. Anyway, it was enough for her to know the truth.
As for Niu Jiuhua.
Xiao Li had possessed her, but he had also saved her. They had no relationship since Xiao Li left.
Or rather, they never had a relationship.
Xiao Li would not have any negative feelings towards Niu Jiuhua because of those fantastic days, and he would not bring up the matter on his own initiative.
So just treat him as a stranger. As for the fact that Niu Jiuhua saved Xiao Jingyi, Xiao Jingyi is an adult now, and it is his own business how he should repay his benefactor and settle him down.
Niu Jiuhua went out in a huff, but actually she didn't go far. When they came out after dinner, she was waiting outside, got on her horse with a sullen face and continued to follow them.
This time, Xiao Jingyi did not rush to follow Xiao Li, but fell behind and walked with Niu Jiuhua.
Niu Jiuhua snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction.
Xiao Jingyi said, "I will follow the emperor sister back and serve her in the future. You saved me once, and I will repay you. Please ask for whatever you want. As long as it is within my ability, I will never refuse."
Niu Jiuhua immediately became angry: "What do you mean, I saved you in exchange for your reward?"
Xiao Jingyi asked calmly: "Then what do you want me to do?"
Niu Jiuhua was silent for a moment, then suddenly sneered, "You've found your family, and you can't wait to get rid of me, right?"
Niu Jiuhua suddenly asked loudly: "Don't you forget who carried you on your back when you were injured and escaped? Who found herbs for you to heal your wounds? Who helped you avoid assassins time and time again?"
“Xiao Jingyi, I have paid so much for you, and I didn’t even care about my father’s whereabouts. How can you treat me like this?”
Xiao Jingyi didn't speak for a long time. After a long while, he asked as if he was compromising: "So I'm safe now, what can I do for you?"
Niu Jiuhua clutched the reins tightly, tears gathering in her eyes. She tossed out a thousand words before finally saying, "I want to find my dad."
Xiao Jingyi: "I will have someone find him."
Xiao Jingyi followed up with another question: "Which city do you want to settle in?"
Niu Jiuhua remained silent, and Xiao Jingyi explained, "Pick a city you'd like to settle down in. I'll build you a mansion, buy you servants, and buy you a few shops. You'll have no worries in your life. I'll also do my best to find your father, and once I find him, you and your daughter will be reunited."
After saying this, Xiao Jingyi didn't hear any answer. He turned around and saw Niu Jiuhua crying silently and looking at him heartbroken.
"Xiao Jingyi, do you think I'm ugly?"
Xiao Jingyi shook his head: "Absolutely not."
He now wants to repay her kindness, so what does beauty or ugliness have to do with her?
Niu Jiuhua looked at Xiao Jingyi's eyes which were full of calmness and indifference, and could not find a trace of affection towards her. When he looked at the empress, he smiled so brightly, his eyes full of light, but when he looked at her, he was always calm and rarely even smiled.
She had never seen him smile at her as brightly as he did when he saw the empress, and many times he was even unwilling to pay attention to her.
She knew that he was of noble status and so handsome, like a fairy from heaven. If he had not met with an accident, she would not be worthy of talking to him.
These two months were stolen by her, but she has given her all, how can he remain indifferent?
“Xiao Jingyi, I don’t want your money. You are safe, and I am going to find my father.”
After saying that, he turned the horse's head, whipped the horsewhip hard, and ran to the other side.
No matter how loudly the two people behind spoke, no one in front turned back.
In the end, the only one who paid attention to Xiao Jingyi was the bored Cen An.
"Your Highness the Prince of Wei must have seen that what I want is not money, but your body."
The next moment, Xiao Jingyi whipped Cen An's horse: "Stop talking!"
Although Xiao Li didn't look back, he still watched the show. What should I say?
Choking and boring.
The woman saved the injured man and finally gave her true heart to him. She didn't consider the man's reward with money because she was of high integrity and could not be moved by wealth. But if the man didn't marry her, he would be ungrateful. If the man married her but didn't fall in love with her, he would also be heartless and ungrateful because what she wanted was love, not to marry her for repayment.
The most perfect ending for this kind of story is that the rescued man falls in love with the woman who rescued him. Even if their statuses are very different, the man makes a firm choice and breaks through the secular world for true love, and then helps the woman slap the faces of those who look down on her. In the end, the two of them are in love and are the envy of others.
This is all cliché storytelling.
What is cliché is not the story itself, but the fact that many people think so.
Because you saved the other person and fell in love with him/her because of his/her good looks, the other person must fall in love with you out of gratitude. If he/she does not fall in love with you, you are heartless and ungrateful. Repaying a favor with money is not a repayment. It must be love to be considered a repayment.
Well......
Xiao Li couldn't understand, so he didn't comment.
Respect other people's lives.
