"Thank you for the banquet."
These two words sounded like thunder on the ground, making Fang Chenghai stunned.
His finger pointing at Xie Yan trembled slightly, betraying his heart at the moment.
"You are Xie Yan!" Fang Chenghai looked at him desperately, "So, it was your plan from beginning to end?"
Xie Yan glanced at him incredulously, and was about to walk out.
Fang Chenghai's eyes were about to burst, and he stretched out his hand to stop him: "How dare you! How dare you be so arrogant! Do you know who is behind me?"
In his opinion, the emperor is weak and will die sooner or later, and Chu Yunyi is the most likely to ascend the throne among all the princes, as long as he is a smart person, he will stand in Chu Yunyi's camp at this time.
But this sounded like nonsense to Xie Yan. He didn't even give Fang Chenghai any extra glances. He just said: "General Cai, I leave this to you. Everything will be done according to our plan."
Fang Chenghai's body trembled, and he realized something. Just as he was about to speak, someone covered his mouth from behind.
While struggling, he could only see the back of Xie Yan leaving.
"Invite General Fang back and treat him well." General Cai said with a smile, "Be sure to treat him well!"
"There are still these people." He turned around and pointed at several people, "Let someone take care of them, and you must ask the news we want!"
Fang Chenghai's mouth was covered, and he was dragged backward like a rag bag. He and General Cai had governed the Beidu Protectorate together for more than ten years. He naturally understood General Cai's methods and realized the situation he was about to face next. , he regretted it too late.
If he could be more cautious, how could he be reduced to this situation?
No!He still has a chance!
Suddenly, a gleam of light appeared in Fang Chenghai's gray eyes.
But before he was happy for a long time, he heard General Cai's chilly words above his head: "I'm afraid General Fang doesn't know yet? The army you hid in Yunshan has been completely wiped out by my people."
Hearing this, Fang Chenghai's eyes widened.
"Um!"
"Let go of his mouth."
After General Cai's words fell, Fang Chenghai finally had a chance to breathe: "Cai Zhuo! Don't be arrogant! After a hundred years from the emperor, the third prince must be the one who ascends the throne! If you let me go now, I might be able to intercede for you! Your Cai family can last a hundred years of glory!"
However, General Cai patted the non-existing dust on his hands, and said with a smile: "You really intend to rebel!"
Fang Chenghai's heart was ashamed, he knew the situation he was about to face, and he already had the desire to die, so he laughed heartily, looked at General Cai with sorrow, and said, "Who are you from? The First Prince Or the Second Prince?"
"I am different from you! I, Cai Zhuo, belonged to the late emperor! I am loyal to the late emperor! I am loyal to the royal family! I will never conspire with the rebels!" General Cai laughed a few times, looking at Fang Chenghai with pity in his eyes, "As for what you said, I will tell the emperor all about it!"
"Treat General Fang well, but don't hurt him." General Cai instructed, "It will be of great use for us to keep him."
"Yes!"
Seeing Fang Chenghai being dragged to the backyard, General Cai showed joy and walked out excitedly.
Today is a good day, and he wants to celebrate it!
However, as soon as he arrived at Cai's mansion, before seeing Xie Yan, General Cai was stopped by someone.
Yue Rong looked embarrassed: "Master still has business to deal with, General Cai might as well go back and rest first."
Hearing this, General Cai said dissatisfiedly: "What I want to talk about is also official business, why can't I see you?"
"Ahem!" Yue Rong kept winking at General Cai. Although he didn't say it clearly, his winking was enough for General Cai to understand.
"Okay, okay!" General Cai waved his hands with a smile on his face, "These are trivial matters! I'll come to see you after your lord handles those official duties!"
After all, he left happily.
In the yard, there was not a single servant serving him.
Gu Ning stared at Xie Yan closely, and looked at his whole body carefully: "Is it not injured?"
"The plan is progressing very smoothly. Before Fang Chenghai suspects, all of their people have been subdued." Xie Yan always has infinite patience when facing Gu Ning, "Besides, Fang Chenghai thinks that he has the chance to win. The government has deployed a few dark guards."
"That's good." Gu Ning breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought a bloody battle was inevitable! I didn't expect them to be so lax, but... did you really get rid of all the private soldiers they raised?"
Hearing this, Xie Yan's phoenix eyes became much deeper: "Why did Ning'er ask such a question?"
When he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Gu Ning, and he secretly clenched his fists.
Gu Ning blinked, and said innocently: "Then they have carefully cultivated the army for more than ten years. If they can use it for their own use, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"
Her answer made Xie Yan secretly heave a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Gu Ning also breathed a sigh of relief.
She loosened her fist cautiously, smiled at Xie Yan, and then took Xie Yan's hand: "I want to stay in Beiduhu Mansion for a while longer."
"is it okay?"
Her eyes were moist and clear, with shallow pleading.
As soon as Xie Yan reached the words of rejection on his lips, he swallowed them back immediately.
"Three days." Xie Yan said in a low voice, "In three days, we will leave for Beijing."
Without waiting for Gu Ning to speak, he continued to explain: "There are a lot of changes in Beijing, if you can return to Beijing earlier, you can also make preparations earlier."
Gu Ning nodded, but her heart was clearer than that of Ming Jing. This incident was as early as she had expected. It was written in the book that the emperor's health deteriorated because of taking too many pills with heavy metals exceeding the standard. After the second coma, Guy Jiang joined forces with other aristocratic families to push Chu Yunyi, who was the prince, to supervise the country.
But after observing, she found that the emperor's physical condition was caused by Xie Yan, and the current Chu Yunyi is not the prince at all, and the Jiang family can't rely on him to win over other ministers, so the situation in Beijing will never exceed Xie Yan's control.
In this way, these three days...
Gu Ning's bright and clear eyes instantly brightened.
"Then you have to stay with me more." Gu Ning pulled Xie Yan's clothes and whispered, "Once we return to the capital, you and I can no longer be so close."
Hearing the meaning of her words, Xie Yan's ears were bloodshot.
"When the situation stabilizes, I will definitely come to propose marriage." Xie Yan's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his voice suddenly became hoarse, "But before we get married, you and I must abide by the rules and must not..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Ning leaned forward and blocked Xie Yan's next words with his lips.
……
Beijing.
At the city gate, a team entered the city, and the luxurious carriage was particularly eye-catching.
When some people saw the emblem on the carriage, they immediately understood it, and started to discuss: "The Lord Changning has returned to Beijing!"
However, when the carriage drove into the city, it didn't go to Pei's mansion, but went to Xinyue county lord's mansion in the opposite direction from Pei's mansion.
The person who was helped down from the carriage by the servants was the Lord Xinyue County.
And Xinyue County Lord got out of the carriage, and there was no movement in the carriage, obviously no one was there.
This news immediately spread to the ears of those who cared.
"what!"
Jiang Qian stood up abruptly, almost tripping over the table beside him.
There were a few clear crackling sounds, and amidst the mess, the spy cautiously raised his head: "It is indeed Xinyue county lord, and I haven't seen any trace of Changning county lord!"
Jiang Qian only felt that his eyes were dark, and he staggered, and said in a low voice: "This is impossible."
"Shouldn't Chu Shiling stay in Yuezhou?" He murmured, "If Gu Ning doesn't return to the capital, where did she go?"
Just as he was muttering to himself, a person came in angrily: "Is that what you said is all right?"
He was hit in the face by a letter, looked up blankly, only to see a Jiang Taifu he had never seen before, in his impression, Jiang Taifu has always been at ease, and has never been so angry.
"Fang Chenghai was killed!" Jiang Taifu gritted his teeth, "Cai Zhuo handed over the booklet to the capital, as well as the evidence of Fang Chenghai's collusion with merchants in the market for smuggling! Didn't you say that everything is fine in Beidufufu? Why did you just arrive In the capital, did Cai Zhuo’s booklet come here?”
"Do you have eyes? Cai Zhuo is insidious and cunning, and you actually trust him?"
Jiang Taifu scolded his head and covered his face, which made Jiang Qian unable to recover for a long time.
He listened to Jiang Taifu's words, he could understand every word, but the combination of these words made him confused: "But Fang Chenghai clearly said that Cai Zhuo intends to cooperate with him, so are the members of the Mei family. Cai Zhuo invited people from the Beidu Protectorate..."
"No!" Jiang Qian's voice immediately became sharper, and those details that he had ignored emerged one by one at this moment. The two faces were completely different, but revealed some similarities in their expressions, filling his eyes with horror. , "That's not from the Mei family at all! That's a trap set by Cai Zhuo and Xie Yan!"
"Changning County Lord didn't return to Beijing at all! That's all she used to cover up her eyes! She went to Beidu Protectorate with Xie Yan! Chu Shiling was acting as a cover for the two of them, pretending to be Gu Ning to blur our sight!"
Jiang Qian said word by word, the truth that was covered by the fog suddenly became clear at this moment.
But the next moment, Jiang Taifu slapped him heavily on the face: "Half a month has passed, and you didn't realize it! What did you do in Beiduhu Mansion before? How could you ignore such an important matter? "
"Do you know..." Jiang Taifu blushed with anger, and his breath began to be uncomfortable, "What does the Beidu Protectorate mean? Do you know that the things in Fang Chenghai's hands are our accumulation over the past few decades!"
"Just because of a single mistake! Decades of accumulation were ruined!" Jiang Taifu's eyes were bloodshot, his decades of painstaking efforts were ruined, and at this moment, his heart seemed to be firmly grasped by two hands, causing him so much pain. out of breath.
Jiang Qian covered his face and knelt on the ground weakly, with tears on his handsome face.
He knew that no matter what he said at this moment, he could not make up for the mistakes he made.
It's too late to regret!
These two words sounded like thunder on the ground, making Fang Chenghai stunned.
His finger pointing at Xie Yan trembled slightly, betraying his heart at the moment.
"You are Xie Yan!" Fang Chenghai looked at him desperately, "So, it was your plan from beginning to end?"
