I'm the villain in the book

Could it be...has he been aware of his deal with Wei Changtian?

Has Ning Yongnian already grasped the real evidence, or is it just speculation?

Where is the problem?

Countless questions came to Li Huaizhong's mind, which also made his answer a beat slower.

"Go back, go back to the emperor, but the old slave's secret illness has not been cured, so I don't dare to speak a little bit of lies!"

"Hahaha!"

Taking a full view of Li Huaizhong's reaction, Ning Yongnian still had that half-smile expression on his face: "Old Li, you don't have to be so nervous. Even if you are really wrong, I can't bear to part with a second-rank expert like you."

"After all, there are only a few dozen second-rank warriors in Daning. I'm not like Wei Changtian who killed five of them in one night on the top of Yanyun Mountain."

"Besides, you and I are both of the second rank. If there is no help from others, I might not be your opponent."

"After all, you have recovered from your hidden illness now, so your skills must have improved a lot, haven't you?"

"..."

Outside the window, the rain was getting heavier, and the oppressive atmosphere seemed to have passed through the window, completely covering the brightly lit Shiqu Pavilion.

A few simple words that seem to be joking, but in fact have made everything clear, which also means that even if Ning Yongnian is not fully aware of it, he definitely has some evidence that Li Huaizhong had an affair with Wei Changtian.

Of course, for Li Huaizhong, no matter what Ning Yongnian said, even if the latter presented solid evidence, he would never admit it.

"Your Majesty! This old slave's loyalty to you can be learned from the sun and the moon!"

"I beg the emperor to see clearly!"

"Plop", Li Huaizhong fell to his knees, shouting grievances loudly in his mouth, with an extremely eager expression, but he was not too flustered in his heart.

Just like what Ning Yongnian said, now that his hidden illness has healed and his skills have greatly increased, he is indeed not afraid of the former in a one-on-one situation.

Taking a step back, even if the two sides really turned their faces completely, then he would definitely be able to escape before the masters in the palace came to help.

Therefore, since his life is safe, Li Huaizhong will naturally not be too panicked. At this time, he still wants to deny it for a while.

After all, from his point of view, Ning Yongnian probably just noticed some subtle clues, and just wanted to take this opportunity to deceive himself.

Li Huaizhong's guess is actually correct, but not entirely correct.

Ning Yongnian is indeed still not completely sure whether Li Huaizhong and Wei Changtian have colluded, but since he has talked all about it this time, it will not be a simple temptation.

"Old Li."

Lowering his head, looking down at Li Huaizhong who was kneeling on the ground, Ning Yong smiled young and said, "Why don't I make a deal with you."

"trade?"

Li Huaizhong never expected to hear such a sentence, and couldn't help being taken aback.

Ning Yongnian nodded slightly, his face gradually becoming serious.

"Well, a deal."

"Old Li, apart from Long Wei and the others, only you know about Bai Youheng."

"That is to say, there must be someone from Wei Changtian among you."

"I don't care what method you use to find this person... Even if this person is you, it doesn't matter, I can guarantee that you will not blame the past, and you can also meet any of your conditions."

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to, as long as what happened tonight didn't happen."

"Think about it carefully."

"..."

Outside the window, the torrential rain lashed the glazed tiles of the main hall, and the dense rain column slashed down along the wind, like a sharp arrow hitting the roof with tinkling noises.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Huaizhong finally got up slowly, bowed and said softly:

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"The old slave will do it now."

Chapter 365 "The Enemy" Meets

Ning Yongnian and Li Huaizhong are going to make a deal, so as to find out the spy around him.

However, they didn't know that there was actually more than one inner ghost lurking in the Daning court.

After all, the same boat club has been hiding very deeply. Not only are the members all powerful ministers, but they also cover each other in secret, so it is really difficult to be suspected.

But since Li Huaizhong agreed to the deal, it meant that he must already have a "suitable" candidate.

Obviously, this person can only be Yujia.

You Jia is indeed Wei Changtian's person, and she is indeed the one who leaked Bai Youheng's whereabouts to the latter.

Li Huaizhong couldn't be more clear about these things.

For him, there is only one problem right now——

Do you want to betray Yujia?

To be more specific, it would be "Do you want to betray Wei Changtian?"

In fact, it is not very accurate to say "betrayal".

Because Li Huaizhong is not Wei Changtian's subordinate, the two have been in a relationship with each other from the beginning to the end.

The former needs a cure for Yin-Yang Gong's hidden illness, while the latter needs a nail buried beside Ning Yongnian.

But now the transaction between the two has already been completed, and it is essentially a state of "neither owe each other", so even if Li Huaizhong really sells You Jia, it is not a "betrayal".

But you must know that if he really did this, he would definitely suffer revenge from Wei Changtian in the future.

Li Huaizhong once witnessed Wei Changtian kill the second rank with one move at the top of Yanyun Mountain.

In addition, although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he was certain to kill Jingyuan with one move and defeat Mengshi with one move... There is no doubt that Wei Changtian has definitely mastered a supernatural power that can kill the second-rank realm, and Can be cast multiple times.

Therefore, Li Huaizhong's fear of Wei Changtian has actually surpassed his fear of Ning Yongnian.

Now that I have reached the point where I have to choose a side, and no matter who I choose, I will offend the other...then Li Huaizhong's first reaction is to completely defect to Wei Changtian.

but......

"Clap clap clap!"

The fluorescent light of the ever-burning lamp slightly illuminated the jade-carved corridor, and the torrential rain fell on the ground along the inclined tiles, and then flowed into a small pond along the ingeniously designed canal.

This small pool is not big, but after adding so much rainwater, the water level is still as high as before, and I don't know why.

Li Huaizhong hurriedly walked through the corridor with his head down, his shadow was vague and unreal.

Then, he stopped in front of another figure that was also unclear.

"Longque, get ready."

"Tonight, you will go out of the palace with the emperor to Yuanzhou."

......

......

The next day, Dafeng palace.

Hard stone walls, humid air, cramped stone paths, and flickering firelight.

Wei Changtian learned of the news that Ning Yongnian and You Jia had left Beijing on the way to meet Yu Pingjun.

He glanced at Li Wutong who was following behind, who was thinking about something, and then asked Chu Xianping beside him in a low voice:

"Brother Chu, what do you think Ning Yongnian is going to Yuanzhou this time?"

"I don't know."

Chu Xianping shook his head: "Maybe he is planning to go to Feng County to reward the frontline soldiers."

"Well, but why did he go at this time?"

Wei Changtian made a bold guess: "Does it mean that there will be changes in the war in Yuanzhou?"

"This...should not be."

Chu Xianping understood that Wei Changtian meant "Da Ning wants to counterattack", and after thinking about it for a while, he gave his own opinion:

"Ning Yongnian did not increase troops in Fengxian County, and Dafeng's 50 elites were all retreating to Yuanzhou City. Under such circumstances, there is no advantage in recklessly counterattacking, and it is even possible to lose the natural danger of Fengxian County."

"Therefore, Ning Yongnian has no reason to choose this time to counterattack Yuanzhou City...unless he has a bigger plan."

Bigger plot.

As soon as these words came out, Wei Changtian immediately thought of Yu Pingjun and Bai Youheng.

Could it be that they are planning a conspiracy with Ning Yongnian... related to the war in Yuanzhou?

But what kind of plan would require the participation of Bai Youheng and Yu Pingjun?

Even though Bai Youheng is the son of heaven, no matter how powerful a person is, he can't control the situation of the war.

What's more, Yu Pingjun is far away in Fengyuan, so he has no way to intervene in the war in Yuanzhou...

From the perspective of God, Wei Changtian finally connected the clues he knew at this time, and had a correct direction.

But even if they found the right direction, they were still far from the truth.

"Young Master Wei! Young Master Chu!"

Suddenly, a voice from ahead interrupted Wei Changtian's thinking.

After several jailers got up and said hello respectfully, their eyes stayed on Li Wutong who was following him.

"I have seen Her Royal Highness!"

Although they reacted immediately, they could hear their expressions of surprise, as if they didn't understand why Li Wutong appeared here.

But Wei Changtian definitely didn't have the time to explain to them, he just waved his hands with restraint.

"Open the prison door."

"Yes!"

"..."

"boom!"

After a whole day, the door of Tianzijia No. [-] cell opened again, and soon closed again.

Standing in front of Yu Pingjun with a calm expression, Wei Changtian was silent for a while, and then he stretched out his hand to undo the former's acupuncture points.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

There were several rapid coughing sounds, and the lack of water for two days and two nights made Yu Pingjun's face even paler.

However, her expression was still the same as yesterday, with teasing expressions in her eyes.

"Mr. Wei, looking at you like this, you probably didn't make it in time last night."

Slowly sitting up, Yu Pingjun looked at the silent Wei Changtian with a smile, and took the lead in sarcasm: "Why don't you tell me what that bastard looks like when he knows his identity?"

"Hmm... I think I must be out of my mind, I'm afraid I will hate Ben Gong to death."

"Hehehe, I really want to see it with my own eyes."

"It's a pity..."

There seemed to be the triumph of revenge in the piercing laughter.

However, Wei Changtian didn't react too aggressively when he heard the words, he just glanced at Yu Pingjun and shook his head.

"Queen, since you want to know, I'll tell you."

"You guessed half right. The princess knew that she was a demon queen, but she really couldn't accept it. She even wanted to commit suicide at one point."

"But...she doesn't hate you."

"..."

The smile froze instantly, and Yu Pingjun's shoulders suddenly trembled slightly.

But she quickly suppressed this emotion, and her tone became a little colder.

"Young master Wei, such a trick is useless to me."
