As soon as this question came out, Xiao Yan herself was stunned first.

When she decided to take Zhao Yujie in the barren mountains outside Daizhou City for her own use, the white-eyed old man warned her, saying that Zhao Yujie, a person who betrayed her family, was afraid that she would turn against her master.

It's a pity that Xiao Yan didn't listen at that time, she thought she was enough to control Zhao Yujie.

The reality in front of her undoubtedly proves that she lifted a stone and smashed herself in the foot.

Zhao Yujie looked down at the one in front of her, which made her look up at Princess Beihu for more than half a year, and there was an indescribable joy in her heart. Hearing Xiao Yan's almost blind question, she felt like she had eaten honey.

Once upon a time, she was able to play with a dignified princess in the palm of her hand and control the other party's life and death? What does this prove? It proves that she is no longer weak and that she is already very strong.

There are thousands of wonderful feelings in this world, but none of them are better than confirming that you are strong.

"What explanation?"

Zhao Yujie responded lightly in a condescending tone, "I'm just a hard-working market woman, because I was caught by your fancy appearance, I learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting through hard work, and I was sent to the family mansion by you."

"What can I do? I don't have a choice. What's wrong with me?

"Not only am I not wrong, but I have also made a contribution this time. In order to help Xu Minglang, I did not hesitate to blow up my family, wouldn't it be more sincere? Without me, the desperate Xu Minglang would be defeated tonight, because because of me, he can win back a city and stabilize his position by grabbing your credit.

"Do you say, will he thank me, or will he alienate me?"

If her eyes could kill, Xiao Yan's eyes had already torn Zhao Yujie to pieces, but now she could only bite her silver teeth.

"Do you think I will cooperate with your words? I will tell the truth!" Xiao Yan said unwillingly.

Zhao Yujie laughed out loud, looking at Xiao Yan's eyes, they were not only high, but also disdainful.

She said: "You are just a prisoner of the rank who has lost his reputation, or a Hu man, who cares if you bite at will before you die?"

"Besides, no matter what tricks you say, at most it will make Xu Minglang doubt me, and I can't change the fact that Xu Minglang can catch you because of me. ”

Xiao Yan said viciously: "If Xu Minglang knows, you have told me everything he told you, and I already know everything you know in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he will just suspect you?!"

This is indeed a problem.

Zhao Yujie squatted down in front of Xiao Yan, the dim and dim torch light made her face flicker, and also made her smile inexplicably a little more gloomy.

Zhao Yujie lowered her voice and said, "I admit that tonight's incident will make my situation very embarrassing." But you know what, I hate being controlled by you more than this, being commanded by you on your head!

"I hate that my life is caught by you, and I have to obey you all my life because I am afraid that you will reveal my identity, and I am afraid day and night, and I can't sleep well!

"Compared with the fate of being controlled like a puppet and being called around like an eagle dog, taking advantage of today's golden opportunity to completely get rid of the shackles of you, a Hu person, and pay a small price, it is not worth mentioning at all!

"The lesser of two evils, isn't it?"

Xiao Yan opened her mouth, and was speechless for a while.

She didn't expect that Zhao Yujie didn't have the slightest feeling for her, and in order to get out of her control, she didn't hesitate to risk losing Xu Minglang's trust and favor.

Zhao Yujie still has no respect for her at all.

If it weren't for her, Zhao Yujie would have become a lost dog in Daizhou, and she would have to be endlessly chased and killed by the Zhao family, how could she have such status and wealth today?

It wasn't until this moment that Xiao Yan really saw the person in front of him clearly.

That's a femme fatale who is selfish to the extreme, and absolutely unwilling to be subordinate!

Zhao Yujie is right in one sentence, for her personally, compared to being controlled by herself for a lifetime, losing Xu Minglang's favor in the future is not so fatal.

With what Zhao Yujie has obtained in the Prime Minister's Mansion now, she has completely gotten rid of the situation of a lost dog, and even if there is no Xu Minglang's favor in the future, the situation will not be so miserable.

As far as Zhao Yujie's heart and wrist are concerned, whether she will lose Xu Minglang's favor is still between the two!

"No matter what your plans are, Xu Minglang will no longer pamper you as much as before, your choice tonight is destined to be a lose-lose situation!

"Besides, you have also lost a future that you can't imagine at all: once my Tianyuan Royal Court defeats the Great Qi and enters the Central Plains, you will actually be able to get rid of the fate of the fine work, and you don't have to worry about it at all!"

Xiao Yan glanced at Zhao Yujie with eyes like pitying ants.

Because of Xiao Yan's gaze, Zhao Yujie's face sank suddenly.

What she hates the most is being looked at like this. Everything she did was to escape the fate of the ants, all to stop being looked at like this!

This kind of look deeply hit her heart of extreme pride and inferiority at the same time.

So Zhao Yujie said coldly: "To tell you the truth, I don't plan to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion for long."

"Once, I thought that top big people like Princess Beihu and Prime Minister Daqi were powerful and powerful existences with no weaknesses, and I had to look up to you, rely on you, and even serve you well.

"But what happened in Yanping City for most of the past half a year tells me that you, like Xu Minglang, are not a person who is too strong to be invincible. Sometimes, you're stupid too! Attaching to you doesn't allow me to achieve my goals.

"Since I want to make the most of a woman's advantages, since I have to rely on someone right now, since my beauty is unmatched, and since my wisdom is no less than any of you, then why should I be your vassal and not serve the strongest being?"

These words shocked Xiao Yan into a daze.

She realized that she had just been wrong.

She didn't really see the person in front of her clearly.

The other party's ambition and scheming far exceeded her previous expectations!

"Who are you going to serve?" Xiao Yan asked almost instinctively.

The answer to this question, you dying man, don't need to know. Zhao Yujie stood up, glanced at Xiao Yan one last time, and returned to the demeanor of looking at the heroes of the world like dung.

When Zhao Yujie walked away, facing her graceful back, Xiao Yan couldn't hold back after all, and asked loudly: "I let you go from a lost dog to a dignitary of the Prime Minister's Mansion today, do you really have no gratitude or guilt for me?"

Zhao Yujie's footsteps paused.

She didn't look back.

But Xiao Yan seemed to see the other party's mocking face, and she heard the other party say: "What do you mean 'you let me'? I can have today's status because of my own efforts!"

Xiao Yan sat on the ground weakly.

Although she is the princess of Beihu, she is not a person with a heart like a stone, the old man with black eyebrows is her arm, and the death of the other party makes her heart like a knife. Blame yourself.

But it is obvious that a completely self-centered person like Zhao Yujie will not thank anyone, no matter how much help he receives from others.

Because in the eyes of people like her, everything she gets depends on her own efforts.

Just now, Xiao Yan couldn't have seen the murderous intent in Zhao Yujie's eyes more obviously. If it weren't for the fact that she was alive and much more useful than dead, Xu Minglang gave a strict order, but he was afraid that Zhao Yuji would kill her just now.

In the next moment, Xiao Yan's tears rained down.

She saw the black-eyed old man fall from mid-air.

At this moment, the hatred for Zhao Yuji in her heart was no longer strong.

There were more powerful emotions that occupied her mind.

That's frustration.

Let her become a lost dog, and the culprit who led to the death of the two old men in black and white is not the complacent Zhao Yujie in front of her, and the other party does not have this ability. At best, Zhao Yujie is just a small person who adapts to the general trend.

The person who really created the general trend tonight was the one who made Xiao Yan truly lose his spirit.

It was this mastermind behind the scenes that made her and countless elite cultivators of Beihu work hard for many years in Yanping City ruined, making her, the noble princess of the Tianyuan Royal Court, a prisoner of the lower ranks at this time.

Xiao Yan wanted to know who this person was.

She wanted to die to understand.

......

The moonlight in the second half of the night was very good, and Qinghui illuminated the entire Yanping City quite brightly.

Under the shadow of the big locust tree at the entrance of the street, Zhao Ning opened his deep eyes and saw the fight between the old man with the black eyebrows and Xu Minglang, saw the fleeing Xiao Yan failed to break out of the encirclement and was shot down from the roof, and saw Zhao Xuanji and other masters of the Wang Extreme Realm rushing almost at the same time and killing the old man with black eyebrows on the spot.

A faint, nonsensical smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Although this smile is not thick, it is from the heart, revealing his infinite joy.

With the end of the battle near the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yanping City, which had been noisy for a long time, finally became a lot quieter, and the movements of the forbidden army soldiers everywhere to search Beihu had obviously stopped.

The result in front of him is what Zhao Ning wants to obtain in every possible way. Now, things did not go as he expected, everything happened on the set track, and he could not help but be satisfied.

In addition to satisfaction, he also felt a rare sense of relief.

With Xiao Yan arrested, many of her subordinates were arrested, and there was no longer a large-scale Beihu in Yanping City. In the previous life, during the Battle of Yanping City, the Tianyuan army should be united with the outside, and the fiasco of breaking through Yanping City on the tenth day will finally not be staged in this life.

Next, as long as it takes a little time to clear the northern cities, especially the Beihu on the border, the Great Qi will not have to suffer a huge rout like in the previous life when the national war begins.

With so many Beihu meticulous works captured tonight, it is not difficult to do this.

This is the first major event in the real sense that Zhao Ning has to do and accomplish since his rebirth.

In comparison, the overthrow of the Liu family is just a prerequisite for this matter, and it is not worth mentioning.

Of course, after tonight, the fall of the Pang clan is a foregone conclusion, and the Zheng family and the Lu family will also pay a painful price for framing the Zhao family. This is also of great benefit to the recapture of the military headquarters and the momentum in the court.

All this will make the national war between Daqi and Beihu develop in the direction that meets Zhao Ning's expectations and is conducive to Daqi. In the matter of avoiding the ruin of the country and the death of the family, Zhao Ning has taken a big step.

The sense of relaxation that welled up in his heart made Zhao Ning feel that he could get drunk for three days and really breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's a pity that Princess Beihu fell into the hands of Xu Minglang's old horseman. It's really unfortunate to let him pick up such a great credit!" Wei Wuxian came out of nowhere and went to Zhao Ning's side.

Zhao Ning smiled, "This is the best result." ”
