Volume 2 A Light Walks in the Night Chapter 153 Visiting the Prison (I)

A few days later, Zhao Ning came to the prison of Dali Temple.

Today he wants to meet Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan's cell belongs to the best level, there is no shortage of pen and ink on the case, and the texture of the bedding is also good. Of course, this is only compared to other cells, and it is not comparable to the outside.

Although the environment is quite elegant, Xiao Yan's appearance is too miserable, and it seems that it does not match the prison cell.

She was severely tortured, unkempt, although her clothes had been cleaned, her face and hands were covered with scars, and her original cold and glamorous face had been ruined, and now she looked like a ghost, without any blood.

She sat weakly in the corner, her breath was sluggish, as if she would die at any moment, her tall figure was curled, and she was not much different from the big cat, full of weakness and helplessness.

Such Xiao Yan no longer has the dignity of Princess Beihu, and she is inferior to the poor women in Yanping City.

From this point of view, she should have been extremely miserable in the past few days, and life is worse than death. The jailers of Dali Temple obviously did not take any special care of her, the pearl of the grassland, during the torture.

Zhao Ning stood outside the cell door, and when he saw Xiao Yan's appearance, he couldn't help but think of his previous life.

At the end of the ten-year national war, when the last capital of Daqi was breached, the city was full of flames, blood flowed like a river, and the corpses were piled up like a mountain.

The person who talked to her about wine was Xiao Yan.

At that time, Zhao Ning didn't know how the two got together.

In this life, Zhao Ning understood the joints.

But now, none of that matters.

Because that will never happen again.

Zhao Yujie betrayed Xiao Yan and made her a prisoner. They are no longer allies, but mortal enemies.

Moreover, if Xiao Yan wants to get out of the dungeon of Dali Temple alive, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky.

In the future, there will be a national war between Daqi and Beihu, but Xiao Yan, the princess of Beihu who was in the war period in her previous life, will never have the opportunity to make thousands of Daqi cultivators become white bones on the battlefield like in her previous life.

Zhao Ning, who personally contributed to this situation, feels very good.

That's a strong feeling to confirm yourself.

Now that he is only the son of the Zhao family, he can ruin Xiao Yan, the princess of Beihu, a rare heroic figure in the world. That's enough to prove it.

Zhao Ning pushed the door in.

Xiao Yan raised her head when she heard the movement, and when she saw Zhao Ning entering the door, she couldn't hide her stunned.

She knew that she was running out of time, and she also thought that someone would come to see her, she thought that this person was Zhao Yujie, or the real power of the Zhao family, and the most unfortunate should be Zhao Qiyue.

But I never thought that it was Zhao Ning who came.

She knew Zhao Ning. But in her past cognition, the Zhao family is at most a rising star of the Zhao family, who has just gotten rid of the identity of a gentleman, and has not yet reached the level where she can confront her face to face.

Zhao Ning flirted with his robe, sat down on the futon behind the case, glanced at Xiao Yan indifferently, and said:

"Although you insist that what you are doing in Yanping City is only to covet the prosperity of Daqi, and the forces under your command are only to run a caravan and earn some money in Daqi, and colluding with the Pang Clan is just for the convenience of business.

"But this kind of rhetoric, not to mention that the guilds in the court will not believe it, and the confessions of your subordinates, are also very different and doomed to be useless.

"To tell you the truth, in less than a month, the meticulous work you have planted in the northern cities of Daqi, the officials you have bribed, and even all the caravans you have organized will disappear.

"Now, why don't you want to die a backbone?"

In Xiao Yan's deathly eyes, there was a sword-like essence that flashed away.

At this time, she no longer cares about her life or death. I don't care

Useful. As far as she was concerned, the Tian Yuan clan had suffered such a great loss, and she could only forgive herself if she died.

But Zhao Ning's meticulous work in the northern cities hit Xiao Yan's heart.

Prior to this, although she was a complete failure in Yanping City, she had been in business for many years and still had a lot of power in other places. She is dead, and the Tianyuan Royal Court can send someone to take over these forces and continue her unfinished business.

She was under Yan Pingcheng, and she didn't know the details of other places, and there was no horizontal connection between the various rudders, and she was the only one who led the outline. As long as she doesn't speak, it stands to reason that no one knows what is going on elsewhere.

So how did Zhao Ning know?

Even Khurba didn't know anything outside of Yanping City.

Xiao Yan didn't speak.

"You may think I'm lying to you, but alas, it's not. Yunzhou Prefecture, Heishui County, Cangliu City...... These places have your people. There's a huge armory in Willow City, and you've bribed the officials of the armory, am I right?"

According to the memory of his previous life, Zhao Ning reported some locations and officials who had problems after the start of the national war. This list is not short, and Zhao Ning said it for a long time.

Every time Zhao Ning said one, the surprise in Xiao Yan's eyes was intense. Later, she couldn't hide her horror, and looked at Zhao Ning's eyes as if she had seen a ghost.

With such a detailed situation, apart from herself, it was impossible for any Beihu in Daqi to know about it! Even in the Tianyuan Imperial Court, very few people knew about it!

How did Zhao Ning know?

Xiao Yan stared at Zhao Ning with a terrifying gaze, if it weren't for the fact that her cultivation had been abolished, she was afraid that she would pounce on Zhao Ning and bite Zhao Ning to death and swallow it alive.

Only in this way can these messages be prevented from leaking out.

Once this news leaks out, all her efforts in Daqi will come to naught.

Soon, Xiao Yan gave up this idea and became extremely depressed.

Even if she could kill Zhao Ning, it would be useless.

I am afraid that the Great Qi Imperial Court already knows these situations clearly.

"How do you know this?" Xiao Yan, who was slumped in the corner, just wanted to be a ghost.

Zhao Ning didn't answer, and continued: "The matter of Daizhou, you planned very carefully, and in the end you also failed, you can now figure it out, where was the defeat in the first place?"

Of course, because I am a reborn...... Zhao Ning added in his heart.

Xiao Yan's pupils shrank suddenly.

The defeat of Daizhou, she did not find the answer.

I always thought that it was Zhao Yujie who showed her feet. But if you think about it carefully, even if Zhao Yujie shows her feet, Zhao Ning can easily dispose of it, and Zhao Xuanji, an absolute powerhouse in the middle of the Wang Extreme Realm, can also appear in Daizhou?

"There is only one explanation. Zhao Ning looked at Xiao Yan and smiled lightly, "With your wisdom, you won't be unexpected, right?"

Xiao Yan's heart was beating wildly.

There is really only one explanation.

She may not have thought of it before, but in connection with the fiasco of Yanping City this time, and Zhao Ning's knowledge of the forces under her command, even if she is no longer willing to accept this answer, she can only face reality.

The only explanation for this is that there are ghosts in the Tianyuan Royal Court!

Daqi has his own people in the Tianyuan Royal Court!

This person must still have a very high status and be able to keep secrets!

Only this answer can explain so many things.

The Zhao family only knew all the arrangements of their Daizhou plan for a long time, so they were not satisfied with killing Zhao Yujie, but waited until the interception occurred, and then pulled out the paradigm, and finally let Zhao Xuanji arrest her to maximize the benefits!

It was by this that the Zhao clan was able to expand the Yanmen army by 30,000.

But in the Tianyuan Royal Court, there is such an existence?!

Xiao Yan couldn't help but be frightened.

Does that mean that Daqi already knows that the Tianyuan tribe secretly controls the three major tribes of the grassland, and is about to unify the plan of the grassland? Has Daqi already understood the strategic intention of the Tianyuan tribe to conquer Daqi in the south?

If so, what does that mean?

Xiao Yan was desperate in her heart.

"You ...... What kind of arrangements do you have in the grassland? How many fine works have you planted in the royal court? Who have you bought?!" Xiao Yan, who was already weak, unconsciously climbed to Zhao Ning's desk when she gritted her teeth and asked these questions.

She couldn't have imagined that there were people in Daqi, like her, who had infiltrated the other party's henchmen and were doing similar things. And the level that the other party has reached may be even higher than her!

When she looked at Zhao Ning again, Xiao Yan's eyes were full of fear.

To be able to know this kind of confidential matter, this young man in front of him is by no means as simple as a young man, and the other party should be deeply involved in this matter!

Contacting the Governor's Mansion where Zhao Ning served, first destroying her Goshawk Gang, and then hunting and killing her main force, Xiao Yan could no longer treat Zhao Ning as an ordinary person.

Could it be that the black hand hidden behind the scenes, the big man who dominates all this, is actually Zhao Ning?

How is this possible, the other party is still so young!

But what better explanation could there be than this possibility?

At the very least, Zhao Ning should also be one of the leaders.

It's not like Xiao Yan hasn't seen such a person.

She originally thought that there was only one such person in the world.

That was her father, the Khan of the Tianyuan Imperial Court! It was he who, in just over a dozen years, had turned a weak and small tribe that had even difficulty surviving into the lord of the grassland!

But I never thought that Daqi also had this kind of terrifying existence.

Daqi, it is really a profound heritage, outstanding people, and should not be underestimated?

Faced with Xiao Yan's question, Zhao Ning just smiled and did not answer.

The look in Xiao Yan's eyes gradually faded.

The sadness on her face made her look pitiful.

Of course she knew that Zhao Ning would not tell her this.

But she was not reconciled, she was a smart person, so her mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about the whole thing.

She had received a letter from the crown prince of the Tianyuan Royal Court before, and the other party said that there were many suspicious people on the grassland, and they were inquiring about the situation of the major tribes, especially the Tianyuan Royal Court, and asked her why she had not been warned in advance.

But these people were noticed by the crown prince in time, and then made various arrangements, blinded the past, and did not let the other party really find out anything that was unfavorable to the Tianyuan Royal Court.

If Daqi was in the Tianyuan Imperial Court, and he really had a very high status, then why did he send these people to inquire about the situation of the major tribes from the people?

It's all a stretch.

Unless, these two groups of people belong to different camps.

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up.

Daqi's fine work in the Tianyuan Imperial Court does not belong to the Great Qi Emperor, but to Jiangmen?

Those who went to the grassland later, belong to the Mendi?

Because Mendi didn't believe the news that the door was passed back, he sent someone to verify it?

Quite possibly!

The generals of Daqi have always wanted to establish military merits and sweep away the decline of being suppressed by the men, and the Zhao family of Yanmen Pass has the responsibility of supervising the grassland, and they will send people to infiltrate the Tianyuan Royal Court, which is not impossible.

And the door of Daqi obviously doesn't want to start a war.

At this moment, Xiao Yan suddenly figured out why Zhao Ning came to see her and said these words to her.

She barely stabilized her mind, looked directly into Zhao Ning's eyes and said, "What do you want me to do?"

"Don't you know?" Zhao Ning asked indifferently.

Xiao Yan's expression changed, every detail was taken into his eyes, and now he had confirmed that the other party thought of what he wanted the other party to think of.
