Chapter 90: Hand in Hand
Nancheng Palace.
In the empty and quiet Shengyang Hall at night, Wang Chengchen sat on the dragon chair casually and lazily, wearing a black and red gold dragon robe, and the hall without lighting a candle was shrouded in a silent atmosphere, and his handsome face was immersed in the dark night, so that people could not glimpse the expression on his face, and could only vaguely see a pair of eagle-sharp eyes, flashing a slight light in the night, and the calm and domineering king's breath revealed a sense of ambition and danger.
He knew the news that Wei Xi climbed over the wall and left the palace that night, as well as the news of taking in Zhang Jingzhe, and also knew that she seemed to have sent a woman to Xiyue Kingdom, but Shadow Wei tracked it all the way to the halfway point, and it was completely gone, and the identity of the woman has not been found out so far.
It didn't take long for a palace to appear out of thin air in the Imperial City of Xiyue Kingdom, and the reputation was everywhere, was all this a coincidence, or was it Wei Xiwan's arrangement? If it was her arrangement, then where did she get the manpower, material and financial resources?
Wang Chengchen had already sent someone to secretly investigate Lizong Jianzhuang, who was most likely to support Wei Xiwan, but found that Lizong Jianzhuang didn't seem to be involved at all from beginning to end, and even didn't know about it. Moreover, Lizong Jianzhuang is in the territory of Nancheng, and there are not many forces in Xiyue Kingdom, and in terms of financial resources, it is not enough to supply a palace Yuyan.
However, in addition to Lizong Jianzhuang, there is another power that can be done completely, and that is peerless.
The peerless is located on the Tianyao Mountain in the city of Luzhou, which is already a well-known thing in the world, but the Tianyao Mountain is like an iron bucket built by the peerless, and no one has ever been able to secretly go up the mountain, and no one has ever been able to inquire about any news.
At the time of the flood, the city treasury opened the city treasury to provide disaster relief, and it became famous all over the world in one fell swoop, and many people wanted to go to Tianyao Mountain to become a peerless disciple, but it is said that the assessment of becoming a peerless disciple is extremely strict, especially the investigation of identity.
This Wang Chengchen knows very well that none of the people he sent to sneak into the peerless world can pass the assessment, even if his identity is disguised and seems to be perfect, it seems that there are still flaws that have been seen.
How many people are there under the peerless sect now, and where are such numbers and forces distributed? No one knows at all, but there may be a possibility, that is, in the imperial city of Xiyue Kingdom, there is already a peerless power lurking in the shadows.
The peerless entered the treasury of the Luxing Palace many times to steal property, almost all the items in the treasury were cleaned, and he had the financial resources of a whole treasury, and it was easy to secretly cultivate power in the imperial city of Xiyue and shape a palace flame.
Therefore, if Gong Yuyan's incident with Wei Xiwan is really related, rather than a simple coincidence, then the peerless and Wei Xiwan must have an extraordinary relationship. And it just so happened that he, Wang Chengchen, never believed in coincidences.
Since you can't find out at all, why don't you try to ask directly, after thinking about it, Wang Chengchen said in a low voice: "Gonggong Tian, pass on the national teacher." ”
"Now?" Father-in-law Tian, who had been waiting quietly in the corner, couldn't help but ask more, it was late at night, and it didn't seem appropriate to pass on the national teacher now.
"There's no need to make a big deal. Wang Chengchen's unquestioning attitude made Gonggong Tian no longer ask, and immediately set off to go to the National Teacher's Mansion in person.
The cold wind whistled through the Nancheng Palace, and dense snowflakes fell, bringing people a bleak chill.
Father-in-law Tian hurried away, carrying a lot of snowflakes on his clothes along the way, and finally he stopped in front of the quiet National Teacher's Mansion out of breath.
"My lord, Gonggong Tian has come in person and invited you to go to the Shengyang Hall to meet Your Majesty. ”
Wei Xi, who was thinking about matters related to Xiyue Kingdom and peerlessness, and had not yet gone to bed, looked a little surprised, and seemed a little surprised, such a night when Gonggong Tian came in person, there must have been something important, but he didn't ask much, and got up and went to the Shengyang Palace.
The night is getting deeper, the chill is getting thicker and thicker, in the white snow, a delicate figure walks on the same Xuanwu Avenue of the Shengyang Temple, like ink like a waterfall of long hair falls to the waist of the willow, swaying slightly with the footsteps, wearing a white dress, look carefully, you can see that there is a noble gold embroidery in the white dress, which is more beautiful and noble under the light of the slightly flickering lantern.
Behind him, Gonggong Tian and his group followed closely behind the national teacher, and the sound of everyone's small footsteps was completely covered by the wind and snow.
The door of the Shengyang Hall opened, but the huge hall was not lit, and the darkness made Wei Xiwan a little nervous, and he quietly took a deep breath before stepping in and slowly walking inside.
Even if the light was insufficient, Wei Xiwan could still clearly step on the dragon chair, and Wang Chengchen's eyes fell on him, either probing, or another kind of depth that she couldn't guess.
"I'll give you a chance to confess, about Gong Yuyan, peerless, and you. A calm and serious voice that had never been heard before sounded from the dragon chair, and after a slight pause, he slowly added, "Tell the truth." ”
Wei Xi's heart sank at night, and being able to ask this question proved that he had found some necessary connection between the three, and he had to summon her late at night, so he must have a rough idea in his heart, and he was afraid that he would not be able to hide it anymore.
"Xiyue Kingdom and Nancheng Kingdom are fighting, and in the end there can only be one, and that must be our Nancheng, and except for Rong Jian and Shen Tucang, Xiyue Kingdom will be at your fingertips. Wei Xiwan's soft voice showed a strange tenderness in the darkness, but it did not answer his question directly.
"So the peerless lord is you, and Gong Yuyan was sent by you?" Wang Chengchen frowned slightly, and his voice unconsciously carried a bit of coldness. The peerless daring and monstrous have fought against the imperial court, if the peerless lord is a guard, and this woman stays in the imperial court as a national teacher, it is too dangerous......
"The Peerless Lord is not me, but Gong Yuyan was sent by me. Wei Xiwan's expression was calm, knowing that Wang Chengchen had not fully trusted her, otherwise he would not have arranged for someone to monitor and follow her all the time, and now she would not stupidly admit her identity as a peerless lord, lest he be jealous of her.
"Oh?" Wang Chengchen was obviously a little surprised by such an answer.
"Gong Yuyan is one of my subordinates, and I sent her to the Imperial City of Xiyue Kingdom, but it is a peerless merit to be able to give her such an identity close to the imperial family and even Emperor Xiyue. Wei Xiwan calmly explained.
"You know, Momo...... Tao Shaoqing and the peerless have a past, I and Tao Shaoqing and the peerless reached a deal, as long as the peerless help to achieve this whole plan, then Tao Shaoqing and I will intercede for him in front of His Majesty, hoping that His Majesty will not blame the peerless past from now on. Wei Xi paused after finishing speaking, and looked at Wang Chengchen.
"What plan?" As a matter of course, Wang Chengchen took over.
"Destroy Xiyue. The soft voice said four words weighing ten thousand pounds, it is not easy to destroy a country, but Wei Xiwan seems to be completely in the plan, controlling the direction of the lifeblood of this country.
Wang Chengchen didn't speak, as if he was weighing the weight of this sentence, and after a long time, a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "If Xiyue is destroyed, the peerless account can be written off." ”
When the words landed, Wei Xiwan finally breathed a sigh of relief, if Wang Chengchen no longer cared about the matter of the peerless confronting the imperial court, then she would no longer be restrained.
She can't live without, and she can't lose his trust or leave his side, she wants both.
"Will you believe me?" Wei Xi said lately, but with caution in his tone.
"You have never let me down. ”
