He thought for a moment and said to Li Yuanxiao: "Okay, since that's the case, I'll promise you." This matter is not that I Ji Aihan is unkind and unjust, nor is it that I Ji Kaihan betrayed the Queen Mother, but it happened suddenly, and I have no choice, I hope you can understand this. Otherwise, what status will I have in the future to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes, and what reputation can I trust my friends. ”

"Of course I know this very well, and I believe that the people of the world must also be very clear. As a chivalrous man, it is not for a few blind words to sacrifice his heart and soul, but to know how to distinguish the overall situation at a critical moment, know how to do it to be good for himself, and more importantly, to be good for the world, this is what a chivalrous does. I believe that Mr. Ji has been by the side of the eldest princess for so long, and these things are naturally clearer than me. It's just that Mr. Ji said that you want to take refuge in Xia, and I always feel that things have changed a little abruptly, of course, I am definitely not afraid of Mr. Ji's conspiracy, and I believe that Mr. Ji is not a person who plays conspiracy. It's just that Mr. Ji always has to give the next little guarantee, I don't know what Mr. Ji thinks. ”

When Ji Kaihan heard his words, he knew that Li Yuanxiao was a scheming person, and he just verbally promised to stand on his side, I am afraid that he would not believe in himself so easily, but now that he wants a little security, he must have already had an idea in his heart, so he raised his head and looked at him quietly: "What protection do you want, just say it." ”

"Okay, Mr. Ji is quick to talk, and he won't hide it in the future. I have a Nine-Turn Soul Rejuvenation Pill here, and this Soul Rejuvenation Pill needs to take an antidote every other month, if there is no antidote, I will definitely die of intestinal rot at that time. Everyone around me took the poison, including Wan Yun. He raised his head and glanced at Yao Wanyun, who nodded slightly.

"I also hope that Mr. Ji will be able to take this Nine Turns Soul Rejuvenation Pill, so that you can rest assured in the future."

Ji Qihan nodded, laughed, and said, "Since that's the case, just give it to me." He smiled and said, "People are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death?" If you threaten someone with death to do something for you, then it doesn't make any sense at all. ”

When he said these words, the expression on his face was very impassioned, and now, he finally understood the difference between Yao Zhenyin and Li Yuanxiao, even if Yao Zhenyin is in control of the government, even if everything is for her children and grandchildren, but she will never use violent means to force others to do anything, and Li Yuanxiao is obviously different.

Li Yuanxiao is really suspicious, in order to achieve his goals, he does not hesitate to use violent means to achieve his wishes, today he will use violent means against his own corporal Lixian, who can be sure that he will not use violent means against the people another day?

And Yao Zhenyin is obviously different, this is the biggest difference between the two people.

Ji Kaihan thought of this, and finally figured it out, he felt that even if he died, everything he had done was not in vain, after thinking of this, he nodded and said, "You let me take the pill, and you don't untie the rope for me, and don't untie the chain for me, so what should I do?" ”

Li Yuanxiao hesitated, obviously afraid that after Ji Qihan untied the rope, he would use him as a threat and wanted to wait for an opportunity to escape from the palace.

Ji Kai smiled coldly, thinking to himself, this Li Yuanxiao is really a scheming person, but he is not suspicious of employing people, and he doesn't use this sentence for suspicious people, he obviously didn't learn well.

Li Yuanxiao hesitated, and just wanted to say something, Yao Wanyun had already whispered: "It's better like this, the king please go out first, and leave it to me here." ”

"Okay, Wanyun, you have to get things done for me, you know?"

"Got it." Yao Wanyun said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

So Li Yuanxiao said to Ji Beihan: "I suddenly feel unwell in the lower part of the body, so I retreat first." If there is anything, Mr. Ji can just tell Wan Yun, Wan Yun's opinion can represent the opinion below. With that, he walked out.

After he walked out, Ji Qihan couldn't help but sneer in his heart, from yesterday to now, he still felt that Li Yuanxiao was a very imperial and domineering person, but now, in fact, this is not the case, Li Yuanxiao really does not have all the open-mindedness, tolerance, and generosity of an emperor.

Throwing all the danger to a little woman in the face of possible danger is definitely not what a big husband does.

A person like him, even if he can win others to help him, I am afraid that there is no way to win the hearts of others, at best, he will only use money and profits to buy people, but he will never win the hearts of the people.

Ji Qihan sighed.

Li Yuanxiao had already walked out, and Yao Wanyun ordered someone to help Ji Xianhan untie the rope, and after untying it, she glanced at Ji Qihan and said to Ji Xianhan: "You take this pill." ”

Ji Qihan nodded, took out the pill and took it at once.

Yao Wanyun looked at him, wanting to speak again and again, but in the end she didn't say anything.

"Okay, what the hell do you want me to do now?"

Yao Wanyun hesitated for a moment and said to him: "What I want you to do now is to go to my aunt of the Queen Mother and find a way to get the Danshu Iron Scroll." ”

"Do you still think that the Danshu Iron Scroll is in your aunt's hands?"

"Of course it is, I can be sure that the Danshu Iron Scroll is at my aunt's, and this matter is well known to everyone in the world. My aunt doesn't tell you the truth, which shows that she doesn't trust you in her heart. Yao Wanyun said as if she didn't have anything.

Yao Wanyun is a very smart woman, and it seems that she is not as rude and willful as she imagined, she should be a very scheming woman, otherwise, she just doubted that Li Yuanxiao could not use people, and Yao Wanyun immediately noticed it.

Ji Kaihan smiled and said, "You let me go back, aren't you afraid of letting the tiger return to the mountain?" ”

"Of course you're not afraid, haven't you already taken the Nine Turns Soul Rejuvenation Pill that the king gave you? If you can't get the Danshu Iron Scroll, I believe you will definitely die of poison within a month. I know that you don't think your life is important, but this time you think it's very important to borrow troops, if you can't borrow soldiers, it will be the eldest princess who will be implicated at that time. Okay, that's all I have to say, I'm leaving. As she spoke, she was about to walk out.

When Ji Kaihan saw her appearance, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he didn't know why Yao Wanyun actually betrayed her aunt, could it be that she, like her father, didn't think that her aunt gave her authority enough?

But no matter how you look at Yao Wanyun, she doesn't look like such a person.

He sighed, glanced at Yao Wanyun, suddenly grabbed her arm, and said to her, "Didn't Li Yuanxiao say that he wanted to give you to me?" In that case, come with me. ”

Yao Wanyun was slightly stunned, she didn't seem to expect Ji Xianhan to say such frivolous words, she was stunned, she didn't know what to say for a while, she just looked at Ji Qihan blankly, obviously not ready.

Ji Kaihan suddenly laughed out loud and said, "Don't worry, I'm just joking with you." I know why you want to take refuge in Li Yuanxiao, you are just hoping that when Li Yuanxiao can become the emperor in the future, can you be his concubine? How could you go with me so easily? I'm just joking with you. Okay, I'll go and find a way now, find Empress Dowager Yao to get the Danshu iron scroll, and you also go back to remind Li Yuanxiao and let him remember that once I help him finish, he will immediately send troops to my Ming Dynasty. Do you know? ”

Yao Wanyun nodded.

Ji Kaihan also ignored her anymore, and walked out without looking back.

After Ji Kaihan went out, as soon as he walked to the prison, someone brought him a clean dress to change, the clothes were still the clothes of the Ming Dynasty, and after he put the clothes on, someone led him out of the palace at that moment.

Out of the palace, he walked straight to Yao's house, now he is very familiar with the route of the capital, Ji Qihan walked back to Yao's house, and when he arrived at Yao's house, to his surprise, he found that Yao Yongsheng and Yao Wanyun didn't know when they had come back, and suddenly saw Yao Wanyun come to greet him, and he was stunned there.

If it weren't for the fact that he saw Yao Wanyun in the palace just now, until now, he wouldn't have been able to believe that Yao Wanyun in front of him and Yao Wanyun in the palace were actually the same person.

Yao Wanyun still recovered her previous expression, and came over to talk to Ji Qihan with a smile, but there was a sad look in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows that could not be concealed.

Ji Kaihan didn't know, walked up to her, and said to her: "Miss Yao, I want to see the Queen Mother." ”

"My aunt gave the order that as soon as you returned, go to her as soon as you returned. Now that you have returned, I will lead you to my aunt. After finishing speaking, she took Ji Qihan to the place where Yao Jiyin lived.

After getting there, she pointed inside and said to Ji Xinhan, "Okay, you can go in by yourself." ”

Ji Kaihan nodded, and strode in, and when Ji Kaihan walked in, Yao Wanyun closed the door.

Yao Jiyin was still sitting on the tatami mat, the look in her eyes was not shocked, Ji Qihan walked in, and there was no trace of anxiety in her eyes.

Ji Kaihan said hello to her, she nodded, and then asked Ji Kaihan: "Did everything go well on your trip?" ”

Ji Qihan knew that Yao Zhenyin asked this on purpose, since Yao Zhenyin knew how to send Taisun Taifu in and deliver news to him, it showed that she knew the situation in the palace well, and now she was so quiet, it can be seen that this woman is also a woman who is very capable of means and is very good at playing tricks.

He nodded and said, "Everything is going well, but I was entrusted by my mother, and I didn't stab Li Yuanxiao to death, which disappointed my mother." ”

Yao Zhenyin sighed and said: "If you can stab Li Yuanxiao to death, it will make the mourning family feel strange, although you say that your martial arts are very high, but Li Yuanxiao is very cunning, everything is expected by the mourning family." In short, it is good to be able to stab to death, but if you can't stab to death, then there is no way. At this, she couldn't help but show a trace of sadness on her face.

Seeing her appearance, Ji Qihan walked up to her and whispered to her: "Niangniang, so far, according to what I have seen below, Niangniang should quickly take out the Danshu iron scroll." Then borrow troops from the imperial court to stop Li Yuanxiao from continuing to do evil. ”

"Danshu Iron Scroll?" Yao Zhenyin was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "The Mourning family does not have the Danshu Iron Scroll, if there is a Danshu Iron Scroll, how can the Mourning family use you to help assassinate Li Yuanxiao?" The Danshu iron scroll has long been lost, and the mourning family said that there is a Danshu iron scroll, which is just a deliberate suspicion. ”

"Niangniang, now that it's happened, why do you have to lie to it? Niangniang obviously has no sincerity at all, and she desperately went to assassinate Li Yuanxiao for Niangniang, but Niangniang still concealed a lot from Zaixia, so how could Zai Xia fight side by side with Niangniang? Niangniang, please also think about it clearly, if Niangniang can hand over the Danshu iron scroll to Zai Xia at this time, and let him borrow troops at the border pass, he must be able to borrow troops to come back and quell the chaos for Niangniang. I don't know what the mother wants? ”

After hearing him say this, Yao Zhenyin didn't say a word, and fell into deep thought for a while.

Ji Kaihan walked in front of Yao Zhenyin, he pretended to talk to Yao Zhenyin, but in fact, he lightly stroked four words with his finger, and those four words were: Someone eavesdropped.

After Yao Zhenyin saw the four words he wrote, she was still very calm on the surface, as if everything was expected, she glanced at Ji Kaihan and said to him: "Mr. Ji, what you said to the mourning family also feels very reasonable, but it's just that the mourning family has to make a decision, you go out first, and the mourning family will think about this matter carefully." What do you think? What's more, maybe the wall has ears, and if the words between the two of us are heard, wouldn't it be a great sin for the mourning family? ”

After hearing her say this, Ji Qihan hurriedly smiled and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll wait for the good news from Niangniang, and hope that Niangniang can believe me." If you want to save the Joseon Dynasty, Niangniang must believe in Zaixia and let Zai Nadanshu Iron Scroll go to transfer troops, otherwise, I'm afraid there will be nothing you can do in Zaixia. ”

"I know what Mr. Ji said from the bottom of my heart, I am like a sister to Princess Huaizhen with you, I believe that you are the closest person to Princess Huaizhen, and what you say will definitely be for the benefit of the mourning family. It's just that you have to give the mourning family a little time to think about it. ”

After finishing speaking, Ji Qihan said goodbye and left.

When Ji Kaihan walked out, he vaguely found a blue-gray robe in the corner of the house, he knew that the robe was not Yao Wanyun's, it was a man's robe, it must not be Yao Yongsheng, or someone sent by Yao Yongsheng.

Ji Qihan has finally understood why Yao Zhenyin has been acting so mysterious all along, and it seems to be quite hidden, presumably she has long known that the Yao family has a traitor, but she doesn't know who the Yao family's traitor is, or she simply knows that Yao Yongsheng and Yao Wanyun are already Li Yuanxiao's people.

In short, even though they are flesh and blood, they have to be on guard against each other all the time, which is really impressive.

Ji Qihan walked out, walked outside, and happened to meet Yao Wanyun, Yao Wanyun raised her head, her eyes didn't look at him much, and asked, "How are things going?" ”

Ji Qihan nodded and said, "Presumably, Empress Dowager Yao does have the Danshu Iron Scroll in her hand, but she doesn't trust her so much." And when I was talking to her just now, I found someone listening outside, and she had to think about it before she handed me the Danshu iron scroll. As long as she hands over the Danshu iron scroll to me, I will definitely give it to Prince Li Yuanxiao as soon as possible, don't worry. ”

"Then I'll be relieved." Yao Wanyun nodded and said.

"Also, I hope you don't send people to eavesdrop outside, if you have to do this, and being discovered by Empress Dowager Yao, it will not be good for you and for me. Empress Dowager Yao originally trusted me a little and was willing to take out the Danshu Iron Scroll, precisely because you were going to send someone to eavesdrop outside, so that Empress Dowager Yao became suspicious of me again, what good did you do to yourself? He said to Yao Wanyun.

After Yao Wanyun listened, she didn't argue, she hesitated for a moment and said, "I will tell my father what you say." After finishing speaking, she saluted Ji Qihan and left slowly.

Looking at what she meant, she obviously didn't dare to face Ji Aihan, Ji Kaihan sighed and didn't speak again.

After she left, Ji Qihan thought about this matter carefully, he believed that Yao Zhenyin already had a comprehensive plan in his heart, but what was this plan? But he didn't know.

He thought about it carefully, and slowly had a plan in his heart, in the middle of the night, in the dead of night, all the people had fallen asleep, Ji Qihan quietly jumped down from the window, he believed that with his skills, no one would find out what he had done.

Soon, he walked through the overlapping corridors of Yao's house to the place where Yao Jiyin lived, and he still followed his usual method, uncovering the tiles from the roof and jumping off the beams.

When he jumped down, he heard someone say to him with a smile: "Mr. Ji, I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

It was naturally Yao Jiyin who said these words, Ji Qihan was slightly shocked in his heart, he immediately understood that Yao Jiyin was really a very capable woman, and he could even guess his own thoughts clearly, he couldn't help laughing, and said to Yao Zhenyin: "Empress Dowager Yao, how do you know that I will come to you?" ”

Yao Zhenyin said quietly: "You talk to me during the day, and there are people eavesdropping outside, I believe that if you can't inquire clearly, you will definitely not give up like this." Obviously, there was a chance that they would come to me in the evening, so I was here early. Mr. Ji, you are strong in martial arts, is there anyone eavesdropping around us, I believe you know it clearly, is there any? ”

Ji Kaihan listened carefully and found that the surroundings were very quiet, obviously everyone did not expect Ji Kaihan to come to Yao Jiyin again in the middle of the night, so he nodded and said, "No." ”

"It's good if not, in fact, I have always suspected that the traitor is a member of the Yao family, but how can I slander my family before there is no evidence? So I kept quiet, after the palace was occupied by Li Yuanxiao, my brother wanted to take me to Yao's house, and I also listened to him as soon as possible and followed him to Yao's house. ”

"So you've been suspicious of your brother for a long time?"

"Yes, I have suspected it for a long time, but I never dreamed that this was the case. It was only since you were captured that I learned about this from Taifu's mouth. I used to just be suspicious, but I didn't take it seriously. ”

After hearing her calmly say these words, Ji Qihan looked at her, and felt that she and Jian Huaizhen really had too many similarities, both of them were the same calm, and they were both the same unwilling to wronged others, no wonder Yao Jiyin was able to dominate the Korean court for so many years, and she really had her advantages.

Ji Kaihan thought about it carefully for a while, and then slowly said to her: "Since you have already guessed that it is possible that your brother and your niece betrayed you, why do you continue to stay here?" ”

"Because I haven't figured out if they've betrayed me, and I'm not going anywhere now. If you go to someone else's house, it will affect others, and if you stay with my brother, it is a natural thing. If my brother had really betrayed me, Li Yuanxiao would not have dealt with him in a big way, not to mention that I had the Danshu Iron Scroll in my hand. ”

Hearing the four words of the Danshu Iron Scroll, Ji Qihan couldn't help but nod and said, "It turns out that the Danshu Iron Scroll is really here for the Queen Mother." ”

"Yes, I remember that before the emperor died, he once instructed me that no matter what time I am, I must take the Danshu Iron Scroll with me, as long as the Danshu Iron Scroll is not lost, our Joseon Dynasty will not perish, and it will not be conspired by rebellious ministers and thieves to seize the throne. I have always kept this sentence of the king in my heart, and I have always carried the iron scroll of Danshu with me, and it has been proved that what the king said is indeed right. ”

After hearing Yao Zhenyin's words, Ji Qihan didn't know how to answer her, once a woman has a man and a belief in her mind, then when she does anything, even if it is taken for granted, and she can be more tenacious than men and do everything well.

Ji Qihan didn't say a word.

Yao Zhenyin said to him slowly: "Mr. Ji, I must be wondering why I insisted that I didn't have the Danshu Iron Scroll at the beginning. It's all because I couldn't be sure at that time whether Mr. Ji was the person sent by the eldest princess from China, Li Yuanxiao did everything in order to get the Danshu iron scroll from the mourning family, and the mourning family must be cautious in words and deeds, and be careful every step. If one is accidentally taken away by him, what kind of face does the mourning family have to meet the husband of the mourning family, that is, the emperor. The reason why the mourning family asked Mr. Ji to assassinate Li Yuanxiao was just a tentative move, and during this time, the mourning family specially sent someone to Zhongtu Daming to investigate, and it turned out that Mr. Ji was really Mr. Ji, so I trusted Mr. Ji, and the whole thing was like this. In the struggle for royal and imperial power, sometimes there are many people who can't help themselves. If Mr. Ji had to blame the mourning family, the mourning family would have nothing to say. ”

After Ji Kaihan heard her say this, he didn't speak for a while, he thought about it carefully, if it was as the queen mother of a country, what Yao Jiyin did was indeed understandable.

So he shook his head slowly and said, "There is nothing to blame or not to blame, we just have different starting points." Now, since the Queen Mother has the Danshu Iron Scroll in her hand, she thinks it is necessary to deal with Li Yuanxiao, it is simply an easy thing, what else does the mother have to scruple in her heart? ”

"It's not as simple as you think. Li Yuanxiao is smart and cunning, and he is scheming, otherwise, he would not have robbed the world from the hands of the mourning family so quickly, and the mourning family never dreamed that he would do the opposite, and he did things so neatly. And although the mourning family has the Danshu iron scroll in their hands, it is too late to mobilize the troops, so the mourning family must drag him for a while, so that they can send someone to take the Danshu iron scroll to mobilize the troops. ”

"Listening to Niangniang's words, Niangniang must have sent someone to the border, right?"

"Not bad." Yao Zhenyin nodded and said, "I've already gone, so the mourning family is stalling here." ”

"Isn't Niangniang afraid that Ji Kaihan will betray Niangniang?"
