Oh, you little eunuch, can you know the mastermind of my father's murder?" Yan Ning stretched out his hand and stopped Xiaoqing's sword that was about to stab out.

"Really...... I really know that I overheard it, actually...... In fact, I used to be a person of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and it was precisely because of this that the monarch asked me to come to Beichuan Wufu to deliver a decree to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and he knew that I did not belong to the camp of King Ling, nor did I belong to the camp of King Huai, but it was just ...... Just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that I offended Yan Xiaotian...... At that time, I had just done something for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I didn't know that he was the Marquis of Zhenbei, so I was offended, and later ...... Since then, I have not been reused, I know that this must be Yan Xiaotian's reason, I hate him!"

"Go on. Yan Ning nodded.

"When I came to Beichuan, the monarch once gave me two wills, let me determine according to the situation of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, if the Zhenbei Hou Mansion did not mind Yan Xiaotian's affairs, or as always, he was loyal to the monarch, so he read out the first will, named you the Zhenbei Hou, and chose the time to enter Kyoto to thank you. ”

"So, you chose the second will?"

"Yes, the monarch made it clear that if the Zhenbei Hou Mansion is dissatisfied and vows to investigate the cause of Yan Xiaotian's death, let me read the second decree and make you the Marquis of Qing'an, and you will have no chance with the Zhenbei Army from now on. Liang Gonggong said tremblingly.

"So, you mean that the person who murdered my father is actually the monarch?" Yan Ning heard this, and his eyes were also firmly fixed on Liang's father-in-law's face.

"No! it's not Marquis Yan who was murdered by the monarch, it's ...... It's ......"

"Who is it?"

"No, I can't say right now, you have to promise to let me go, and besides, you're going to kill them...... If you don't kill them, they'll kill me!" Grandpa Liang shook his head in horror, and pointed at the dozens of bound Imperial Forest Soldiers around him.

"Do you want me to kill these Imperial Forest Army?" Yan Ning nodded, and his gaze gradually turned to the solemn faces of the sergeants behind Gonggong Liang.

"Little Marquis Yan, we are the guards of the Imperial City, if you kill us, you will be the enemy of the monarch!" a commander of the Imperial Forest Army stood up and looked directly into Yan Ning's eyes.

"Hehe, is it? The guards of the Imperial City...... Then let me guess why you were caught by me?" Yan Ning smiled at the corner of his mouth.

“......”

"You obviously know that the Zhenbei Army is now under my command, and I will definitely not let Liang Gonggong return to Beijing, but you still took him out of the city as soon as I untied the four gates of Qingshan City, and plunged into my ambush circle, which is a bit inconsistent with the cautious style of the Imperial Forest Army, right?"

"I waited for your plan, I didn't expect you to lay an ambush outside the city!"

"Hehe, it's just a little ambush, if the Imperial Forest Army doesn't hug together, but chooses to disperse and flee back to Kyoto, it should be easy to avoid my ambush, right?"

"......" the Imperial Guards.

"But you didn't disperse, if my guess is correct, your real purpose is actually to use Liang Gonggong as bait to cover King Huai who escaped at the same time, right?" Yan Ning spoke again.

"Yan Xiaohou, you are really resourceful, and you deserve the name of an immortal master, but it's a pity that King Huai has already entered the river, even if your flying sword can kill the enemy thousands of miles away, I'm afraid you can't find where King Huai is, right?"

"It seems that not only Duke Liang voted for King Huai, but you also took the benefits of King Huai?" Yan Ning laughed, and then waved his hand: "Since this is the case, then follow your wishes and kill them all." ”

"Yan Ning, do you think that if you become an immortal, no one will be able to cure you? Let me tell you, Daqian also has a temple of the god of war, and Dongfang Bupo is also an immortal!"

"Go out of the city, lest you defile the gates." ”

"Yes!" Xiao Qing nodded immediately, and with a wave of his hand, the Zhenbei Army took away dozens of Imperial Forest Soldiers, and in a moment, they disappeared from everyone's sight.

And Yan Ning also looked at Liang Gonggong again at this time.

"I won't say it now, I'm going to make sure I'm safe!" said Liang immediately.

"But I'm an immortal, even if I let you escape thousands of miles, my sword can still take your life, how do you say I can ensure your safety?" Yan Ning looked at Liang Gonggong with some embarrassment.

"......" Liang's father-in-law.

"Father-in-law Liang, you have no choice now, believe me maybe you still have a way to live, but if you don't believe me, you must die. Yan Ning continued.

"......" Liang's father-in-law was silent, his teeth clenched fiercely, and finally, he finally sighed: "Okay, I said...... I'll tell you who is behind it. ”

"Say it. Yan Ning nodded.

"It's the East that is not broken, and the East of the Temple of the God of War is not broken. Liang Gonggong looked at Yan Ning fiercely.

"Huh...... Father-in-law Liang, do you think I will believe it?" Yan Ning smiled.

"Really, I didn't lie to you, it was one day that I overheard the monarch talking to himself by the lake, and I knew that the person who killed Yan Hou Ye was actually Dongfang Bupo. Liang Gonggong said immediately.

"The monarch is talking to himself, saying that it was Dongfang Bupo who killed my father?"

"Yes, you should know...... When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was alive, all the six departments of the country submitted to him, and with the help of Marquis Yan, the power was like the sky, and the monarch could no longer have any way with His Royal Highness the Prince, only the Temple of the God of War...... The Temple of the God of War is independent of the regime!"

"And then?"

"Then I don't know too clearly, I only know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Temple of the God of War have a conflict, which is not a secret in Kyoto. ”

"So, the God of War Temple killed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and my father?"

"No, no, no...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not killed by the God of War Temple, he died of illness, and the monarch only mentioned at that time that 'Yan Xiaotian's death was something he didn't expect, he didn't expect Dongfang Bupo to do this', my guess is that when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the God of War Temple clashed, Yan Xiaotian must have also offended the God of War Temple, so Dongfang Bupo would kill him!"

"Because my father helped the crown prince, so he offended the God of War Temple?" Yan Ning's brows furrowed slightly, after all, this reason sounded reasonable, but in fact, it was full of mistakes and omissions.

The Temple of the God of War is not about government affairs!

If the crown prince dies of illness, then there is no reason for Dongfang to kill his father, because a single Zhenbei Hou Mansion cannot threaten the status of the God of War Temple at all.

"Little Marquis Yan, I've already told me everything I know, can you let me go?" Father-in-law Liang looked at Yan Ning expectantly.

"Well, I'm not going to kill you. Yan Ning nodded seriously.

"Poof!"

A long sword pierced from the back of Gonggong Liang.

A sword pierces the heart.

Liang's father-in-law's eyes widened, and he looked at Xiaoqing behind him in disbelief.

"You ......"

"Plop!"

Liang Gonggong fell to the ground.

Yan Ning looked at Xiao Qing with a "I am fierce" expression, and shook her head a little speechlessly.

"Xiaoqing, how can you kill him?"

"Young Master, if he hadn't passed on the second will that day, there would have been no today's events at all, Xiaoqing must kill him, please punish me!" Xiaoqing said with a pout.

"Well, I will punish you for copying books in the study at night!" Yan Ning raised the corners of his mouth.

"Copying a book, wow!" Xiaoqing's face was joyful, and she didn't seem to feel that this was a punishment at all, after all, every time she copied a book, Yan Ning would teach her some postures, oh, no...... Knowledge!

......

......

Two days later.

Kyoto Imperial City.

King Huai knelt on the ground of the imperial study.

In the past two days, he fled back to Kyoto from Qingshan Castle in one go, and he didn't even dare to enter the city, picking all the shortcuts in the barren mountains, which can be said to be the most embarrassing one in his life.

"Yan Ning!!" King Huai's teeth were clenched, he hated, hated to tear Yan Ning apart.

"Report!!"

"Northern Emergency!"

“......”

At this moment, an urgent report came from outside the door.

The two guards guarding the door of the imperial study immediately walked out, and in a moment, they walked in with a military emergency.

"Your Majesty, the Northern Border is an urgent military situation!"

"Hmm. ”

The middle-aged man who had been marking Qin Zhang on the desk raised his head, and at the same time, put down a jade pen carved from white jade in his hand.

When the middle-aged man looked up, a father-in-law who was following him immediately walked in front of the guard and took the military emergency report in the guard's hand.

The guards retreated.

King Huai lowered his head at this time.

The middle-aged man looked at his father-in-law who had returned to his side, and a faint blue light flashed in his deep eyes.

The air in the whole room seemed to be much colder at this moment.

"Read. The man spoke.

"The situation of the northern army is urgent, two days ago, the 100,000 ironclad army of Beiliang suddenly attacked and captured the border city in the north, and the northern border of Daqian was lost. When my father-in-law read this, the corners of his eyes jumped involuntarily.

"Report! Hou Yanning in the north of the town, eight hundred miles of urgent secret!" came from outside the door again.

"Bring it on!"

"Yes!"

“......”

"Keep reading. ”

"Your Majesty...... Is it Yan Ning's petition for guilt?"

"Well, read on. The man nodded.

"Yes, the minister pleaded guilty to His Majesty: The minister privately inspected the seventy-three private mines in the five mansions of Beichuan, and implicated a cadre of princes and nobles in the five mansions of Beichuan, Duke An Guo, Marquis of Linguang, Cao Qingfang and others...... In the end, Cao Qingmang and An Guogong had to take risks, using the name of Liang Gonggong to falsely pass on the holy decree, intending to forcibly transfer 80,000 Zhenbei troops out of the border city to besiege Zhenbei Hou Mansion, because of this move, the border city was empty, giving Beiliang Iron Armor an opportunity to take advantage of......"

"Read again!" the man's eyes narrowed slightly.

"It's a pity that Cao Qingfang and others don't understand the art of war, and after the border city was occupied, they urgently ordered the 80,000 Zhenbei Army to return to attack the city, which eventually led to the destruction of the 80,000 Zhenbei Army......"

"What?!" King Huai raised his head.

Because, he really can't endure it anymore.

In the past, Yan Ning planted Cao Qingfang, An Guogong and others to falsely pass on the holy decree, and now they actually say that all the 80,000 Zhenbei troops have been destroyed? !

He really can't bear this!
