Tang Yibai smiled very slowly, and his tense body gradually relaxed.

"I can't hide it from you. If I tell you the truth, I can relax a little."

"I brought people into the country, firstly for the marriage, and secondly for a bigger cause."

Tang Yibai's eyes swept across the faces of Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu.

"It's for a picture, or a huge treasure."

Yan Ruyu's mind immediately emerged with the entire Wu family and what Huo Changhe said. Judging from the wounds on the corpses, some of them were caused by Tang Yibai.

Could it be...

Huo Changhe asked coldly: "The extermination of the Wu family, is it related to you?"

Tang Yibai actually didn't hesitate at all and nodded in agreement: "Yes, Your Majesty is wise. The Wu family has a treasure map in their hands, or rather, a piece of the map, because it is incomplete."

"The map shouldn't have been in the hands of the Wu family. How could people like them have such a thing? The old man of the Wu family just took it away by force by chance."

Tang Yibai said with disdain: "It is only natural to ask him to return it now. As for the Wu family, I have checked and they are not good people. Especially the third son of the Wu family."

Tang Yibai looked at Huo Changhe and said, "I heard him say that he embezzled and resold military rations. That kind of person is a disaster. If he were in the prince's military camp, he would have to be beheaded and displayed to the public."

"If that's the case, then I will do the same as the prince, kill him, and use his head for the sacrifice. What's wrong with that?"

Tang Yibai said it as a matter of course. Huo Changhe said, "You are different from me. If I kill him, it will be dealt with by military law. If you kill him, it is to vent your anger and steal things."

"You said the treasure map doesn't belong to the Wu family, so it shouldn't be yours either," Yan Ruyu said calmly, "Since it's not yours, what's the difference between you and him?"

Tang Yibai snorted: "Things in the world have been the same since ancient times. Those who are capable will take over."

"If the Wu family gets it, they should be exterminated. If you get it, you are the one who gets it. You are really hypocritical," Yan Ruyu sneered, "So did you get it?"

Tang Yibai's face changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "No, the Wu family doesn't know the whereabouts of the picture. They all said they don't know. Only Old Man Wu seems to know, but he's in prison."

"In order to save him, I bribed the man surnamed Su and asked him to tell him to find the map as soon as possible. Old Man Wu went outside the city to look for it, and then there was no news."

Tang Yibai looked at Huo Changhe with a puzzled expression, but his tone was firm: "Could it be that it fell into the hands of the prince?"

"That's true. In Youcheng, I can't think of anyone else who has the ability to make someone disappear without leaving any trace."

"But he didn't have any map in his hand, only a tattered book," Huo Changhe said frankly, "When I found him, he was already in a state of madness."

Tang Yibai was obviously stunned, and he moved his lips to say something, but Huo Changhe interrupted him and said, "He is really crazy. This king has confirmed it."

Tang Yibai looked incredulous: "Is he crazy?"

"When he was rescued by Su Wude, Su Wude killed someone in front of him by some unknown method. The military doctor said that it was caused by the drugs and fright."

Tang Yibai frowned anxiously: "This idiot surnamed Su."

"Is that how the Soul-Seizing Powder is used?"

Yan Ruyu listened calmly, remembering the name "Soul-stealing Powder" firmly.

"You said this picture is part of it, so where is the other part?" Yan Ruyu asked.

In fact, she was not very interested. The things in the space were not necessarily less than those so-called treasures.

But for a normal person, anyone who hears this would be interested and would ask further questions.

Tang Yibai was sensitive and suspicious. If she didn't ask, it would arouse suspicion.

Sure enough, a hint of sarcasm flashed across Tang Yibai's eyes, as if to say "you're nothing special".

"Part of it is in the Dacheng Palace," Tang Yibai said slowly, "The emperor kept it in safekeeping and ordered people to guard it. Because he got one part, he ordered me to find the other part."

"If you want to cause trouble for the Wu family, you can bring people in disguise. It will be safer and more secretive, and it will be more convenient. Even if you still want to kill the entire Wu family, I will not think of you."

Huo Changhe spoke coldly, "Why do you want to come to the city in such a grand manner?"

Tang Yibai was silent for a moment, then gave Huo Changhe a thumbs up: "Your Majesty is wise, I can't hide it from you. I did make this suggestion to my emperor at first. It's just a small Wu family. It's more than enough to destroy them with a dozen people."

"But our emperor said that, on the one hand, the marriage must be escorted, and on the other hand..."

He stretched out his voice, as if hesitating whether to say it or not.

He looked down at the black and red blood lines on his wrist, and then said, "Secondly, I have to meet someone in Jiangnan."

"who?"

Tang Yibai looked at Yan Ruyu and said in a playful tone, "Miss Yan, the eldest daughter of the Minister of War."

Yan Ruyu was stunned.

The Minister of War, the Yan family, these were so far away from her, so far away that she had forgotten everything about the capital.

Suddenly someone mentioned it again, and those past events came rushing back like a torrent, bringing her back to her memory.

Yan Jia, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, is the father of this body, and the original body is the illegitimate daughter of the Yan family, who was married into the palace on behalf of others.

Later, when we were halfway there, I remembered Huo Changhe once said that the Yan family had been dealt with.

As for how to clean it up, she didn't ask at the time. Anyway, there was no intersection in the future. Anyway, when she left Beijing, she searched the storehouse and the entire mansion of the Yan Mansion, which was considered as revenge for her original body.

Hearing the name Miss Yan again now, it seems like a lifetime ago.

Before Yan Ruyu could say anything, Huo Changhe sneered, "What Miss Yan? The Yan family died out a long time ago, so where did Miss Yan come from?"

"The prince is busy with important matters, so he naturally doesn't know about such trivial matters," Tang Yibai said, "Miss Yan was carefully raised by the Yan family. When she heard that the prince was going to be exiled and his family property was confiscated, she naturally refused to marry into the prince's mansion."

"Besides the illegitimate daughter of the Yan family," he glanced at Yan Ruyu, "there is actually another candidate in the Yan family."

"Who is the candidate?" Yan Ruyu asked.

She almost missed Huo Changhe? How come she didn't know?

"An illegitimate daughter is the first option. There is also a backup option, which is that Madam Yan secretly cultivated a girl who looks about 70% similar to Miss Yan."

"Substitute?" Huo Changhe understood instantly.

"Yes, this girl is used at the critical moment. Since she failed to be married off, she will naturally be kept for great use."

"Unexpectedly, the Yan family was in trouble. Miss Yan was also a person of character. In order to save herself, she pushed the substitute out. Therefore, everyone thought that the Yan family was extinct. But in fact, it was not the case. At least Miss Yan was left in the world."

"Besides, she is still alive and well. She is now the mistress of a wealthy family in Jiangnan."

Yan Ruyu secretly exclaimed in amazement, this man was indeed a character.

Huo Changhe was skeptical: "Even if she escapes, she is still the daughter of a criminal. It is not easy for her to marry a rich man, or a mistress?"

Tang Yibai smiled faintly: "There is another hidden story behind this."
