I'm the villain in the book

Yingying and Yanyan surrounded the surroundings, and the girls were all trying their best to "pry the corner of the wall".

If Wei Changtian were here at this moment, he would probably sigh, "This industry is also involuntary", and then enjoy the experience.

However, the middle-aged man obviously didn't have such a mood. While dealing with the group of women with a forced smile, he kept casting his eyes in the direction where the old bustard left.

It wasn't until the latter showed up again and walked over that he finally secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Master Xiang, Miss Qin'er has already tidied up."

The old bustard smiled and said, "Would you like to go there now, or play with other girls for a while?"

"Take me there."

The man casually dropped a bag of silver, pushed away several charming women who were nestled in his arms, and stood up slowly.

"Okay, my lord, this way please."

The old bustard nodded and walked in front, and the man followed behind, all the way to the door of an embroidery room on the second floor.

"Master Xiang, then I will go down first, if you have anything to call me." The old bustard lowered her head.

"Ah."

The man nodded, not noticing the fine beads of sweat on the old bustard's forehead, he stretched out his hand to open the door and walked in.

The embroidery room is very large, divided into two rooms inside and outside.

Going around a screen and entering the inner room, there is hot tea on the table, but strangely, there is no one around.

For a moment, the man felt bad, and immediately turned around and wanted to leave.

But at this moment, an old eunuch in a purple robe appeared out of nowhere and looked at him with a smile on his face.

"Li, Eunuch Li..."

"Hehe, Mr. Xiang, didn't you just have a discussion with the emperor?"

Li Huaizhong narrowed his eyes, and took a step closer with a cold expression: "Why did you come to Yaolou?"

"me......"

The man panicked for a while, but soon calmed down.

He snorted coldly, and shouted sternly: "Hmph! Eunuch Li, do I need to inform you in advance if I come to visit a brothel?!"

"Of course it doesn't have to be."

Li Huaizhong cupped his hands lightly: "Our family is just following the emperor's order to take Mr. Xiang back to the palace."

"Back to the palace?"

The man's body trembled slightly, but his expression remained intact: "What are you going back to the palace for?"

"Master Xiang, our family doesn't know about this."

Li Huaizhong looked up, and there seemed to be some sarcasm in his eyes: "Perhaps the adults know better?"

"..."

The cold night wind blew in from the window, and the charming laughter outside the house did not know when it had stopped.

"call!"

Several candle lamps in the room were suddenly extinguished, and immediately the two figures disappeared in place, staggering back and forth several times in the blink of an eye.

"Whoosh!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Crack!"

"..."

It seemed that everything that happened just now was an illusion, and after a few breaths, the room returned to silence.

Only the third-rank man was no match for Li Huaizhong, who had recovered from his hidden illness, and was trampled under his feet by the latter with three moves.

"Master Xiang, you are stupid..."

Looking down at the man curled up on the ground in cold sweat, Li Huaizhong laughed softly:

"Don't even think about how the Xu family can beat the emperor."

Chapter 235 My Xu Family Will Never Live!

The next day, the Golden Temple.

In the early morning, there was one more vacant seat in the first row.

"Why didn't Master Xiang come to court today?"

"Maybe he went to Jizhou."

"So it's finally about to start?"

"Who knows, but I heard yesterday that Dafeng has begun to increase troops to the border..."

"..."

Taking advantage of Ning Yongnian's absence, everyone inevitably had to discuss a few more words.

Li Kan listened to all this in silence, and subconsciously cast his gaze on Ning Wenyu again.

Compared to the eldest prince Ning Wenjun, this second prince seems to be inferior in both literature and martial arts.

In addition, Ning Wenyu was born two years later than his brother, so most people in the court are not optimistic that he can defeat Ning Wenjun to ascend the throne in the future.

Of course, it's too far to think about these things now.

After all, with Ning Yongnian's physical condition, it is no problem to live another four to fifty years.

At that time, the whole Daning is not sure what the situation will be like.

Even judging from the current situation, it is hard to say whether the emperor will die...

"Go up!"

Just as Li Kan was thinking, Li Huaizhong's long-pitched shout suddenly sounded.

"kneel!"

"Mountain hoo!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

"..."

The deafening mountain cries resounded through the Golden Luan Hall, and Ning Yongnian sat on the dragon chair with a long-lost smile on his face.

......

Ning Yongnian managed to find out the nail that the Xu family had buried in the court hall with a little trick, and he felt that he had cleared the last stumbling block for suppressing the rebellion in Jizhou.

But he probably never imagined that there is more than one elaborator around him.

And the piece of information that was originally used as a bait has also been sent to Jizhou, and it has become an important bargaining chip for Wei Changtian to negotiate with the Xu family.

"...Mrs. Wei, you and I have talked for so long, my Wei family has retreated again and again..."

It was the same tea room as last night, still only Wei Changtian and Wei Yanyu were there.

The second round of negotiations has been going on for more than half an hour, but the progress is very slow.

But Wei Changtian was not in a hurry, he took a sip of tea calmly, looked at Wei Yanyu and said with a light smile:

"But ma'am, you don't give in an inch... isn't it a bit too much?"

"Young Master Wei, you can't say that."

Wei Yanyu raised the pot to fill Wei Changtian with tea, and said softly, "I don't think my request is too much. Why don't you think about it a little bit more, my lord?"

"There's nothing to think about."

Wei Changtian shook his head: "It is absolutely impossible for the Wei family to openly rebel, at most we can only leave a retreat for the Xu family."

"My lord, there is no difference between whether there is a way out or not for my Xu family..."

Wei Yanyu sighed softly, with a half-truth and half-false sorrow on her face: "If Jizhou can't hold it, then even if the Xu family can escape a few people, so what?"

"Ma'am, if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood."

Wei Changtian replied noncommittally: "It's better to be alive than to be dead."

"..."

Sandalwood was lit on the low table in the corner of the tea room, but there was no green smoke, only a small red light proving that the incense was still alive.

Alive is better than dead.

Hearing this sentence, Wei Yanyu was stunned for a moment.

She was silent for a moment, stretched out her hand to caress a jade pendant on her waist, and then said calmly:

"Young Master Wei, although my Xu family belongs to the three major surnames of Daning, compared to Liu Wei, there are few people in the ruling and opposition parties who really think highly of us."

"The emperor wants to bring together the great power in the world, so he should take the Xu family first."

"People can't afford food and rice, so they say that my Xu family is black-hearted."

"Even those sour literati who want to scold those in power can only scold my Xu family..."

"Who killed my husband, and whether the Xu family really wants to rebel...You must be clear, my lord."

"We've had enough of this miserable life."

"Now that the emperor is forcing my Xu family to rebel, then we will show him the rebellion."

"Young Master Wei."

Wei Yanyu suddenly raised her head, and her tone became decisive in an instant.

"The entire Xu family would rather die in Jizhou..."

"I will never live!"

......

"pat~"

As if foretelling something, following Wei Yanyu's last words, a curved piece of incense ash fell into the incense burner at the same time, causing an undetectable sound.

But it was like the roar of a giant mountain collapsing.

My Xu family is going to exterminate the family, and I want to shake the country of Daning three times...

Faced with such an almost angry motive, Wei Changtian couldn't help but slightly widened his eyes.

He didn't know if Wei Yanyu's words came from the heart.

But if yes, then...

"Dong Dong Dong~"

Suddenly, a slight knock on the door sounded from the ears of the two of them.

Wei Yanyu frowned, but still raised her voice and said something.

"Come in."

"Mother......"

The door was gently pushed open, Xu Chengwen leaned into the room, followed by Chu Xianping.

"This Mr. Chu said that there is an important matter that must be discussed with Mr. Wei immediately."

"..."

Wei Yanyu looked at Chu Xianping, then at Wei Changtian, and nodded slightly.

"Troubled madam."

Chu Xianping bowed his hands in a polite manner, and immediately walked to Wei Changtian's side, bending his ear to transmit the sound into a line:

"My lord, the same boat will send a letter, and one person is missing this morning."

"This person is also aware of the information from last night."
