Better to live forever [Rebirth]

After Zhu Dingbei learned that the emperor found Liangyuean, he immediately worked with Ning Heng to figure out how to guide the royal guards and make good use of this move.

Compared to this matter, Ning Heng was troubled by another matter.

"... Who is Aunt Hongrui?" Zhu Dingbei asked probingly.

Ning Heng nodded his head, conceding his guess.The maid in charge of Concubine Huang's palace was indeed from the Ning family, and when she was exposed to the emperor in Chunxia, ​​Hongrui still felt that something was wrong with her.

Seeing that Zhu Dingbei didn't understand his troubles, Ning Heng explained in a low voice: "Chunxia is indeed a hidden stake of a certain side, but it is not necessarily the Huns. She only knows one thing about the transmission of news and does not know the other. Liangyue Temple This place was revealed to her by Hongrui inadvertently. I still don’t know how Hongrui’s identity was exposed, what was the situation at the time, and why she chose to commit suicide.”

The Ning family has the mission and principles of the Ning family. After Liangyue Nunnery, the stronghold of the Xiongnu news transfer, was exposed, Ning Heng intentionally asked the emperor to take over the investigation.

Therefore, when sending news in spring and summer, Hongrui "smelled" the only smell of a special kind of incense candle in Liangyue Temple on her body.

Chun Xia knew very little about her going online, so the "accidentally" knowing of Liangyue Temple, a nunnery she didn't even know where it was, was deeply rooted in her memory.They achieved their goal of informing the emperor through the mouth of the maid Chunxia, ​​but Hongrui's death was not planned - she committed suicide in fear of crime, not forced by others.And the Ning family, even if they have nowhere to go and suffer all kinds of hardships, they will definitely follow the Ning family's family motto of "never harm yourself"!

What's more, Hongrui knew that the Ning family would try their best to rescue him.

Her death was the last message to the Ning family.

The situation was different at that time, she was incapable of handling things that would endanger the Ning family, so she chose to kill herself to cut off all clues that might involve the Ning family.

Ning Heng explained to Tie Ze that the Ning family would never commit suicide unless he had to, and wait for rescue. Zhu Dingbei also frowned upon hearing this, but he also had no clue.After thinking for a while, he said: "The palace maid Chunxia is Huang Guifei's dowry girl and a child of the Huang family. No matter whether she is a hidden stake of the Huns or someone else, she must have something to do with the Huang family."

"Your Majesty will definitely conduct a thorough investigation in this direction." Ning Heng said, "In fact, after the Ning family learned about the Chunxia line, they investigated the Huang family, which is closely related to it, but found nothing suspicious. And this spring and summer, Concubine Huang has won her trust, but the concubine is not her real master. If you work hard on the Huang family, you probably won't get much useful things."

The Huang family has now fallen. Even if Li Dang, the Huns, or someone else is standing behind the Huang family, after the death of the Huang family, people with a little brain will definitely disregard their relationship with the Huang family. Low.

"Last year, the Ruan family and the Huang family were burned to death one after another. At that time, we all thought that they were targeting Ningzhou and Liangzhou, as well as the two most powerful princes behind them. But later, the Ruan family was involved in the inferior In the Yin case, Concubine Ruan Shu even poisoned the emperor for his life. It is not yet possible to tell whether the truth is true or not. If the Ruan family was really a member of the Li party and one of the people involved in the bad silver case, then the Huang family may also have a relationship with He had the same position."

Zhu Dingbei analyzed.

Under the current situation of the bad silver case, although they slowed down the speed of the investigation, they never gave up on the investigation.

It's just that after the sudden death of Concubine Ruan Shu, the originally intertwined mysteries seemed to be cut off with a sword, and the clues became fragmented and disconnected, let alone clueless.

But now, Zhu Dingbei realized that the Huang family might be the next breakthrough point.

The Ruan family suffered only because they did not cooperate with Li Dang's arrangement, and why they changed their position and gave up cooperation with Li Dang.If the eldest prince ascends the throne in the future, the honor and status they can enjoy as the mother clan of the eldest prince must be much more than what Li Dang promised.

As the mother clan of the fourth prince who was once very popular, it is only logical that the Huang family had the same experience.

Ning Heng thought for a while, and then said: "If the Ning family can't find out, it doesn't mean that the royal family can't find out. Let's wait for His Majesty to clarify the truth, then how about we discuss it?"

Zhu Dingbei nodded. What he is most concerned about now is the war on the border and the possible changes that may happen to the Huns. As for the Huang family, which is no longer a threat, no matter how appalling the inside story is found out, it will not be able to influence the current situation.

"Let's not care about that, the emperor found Liangyue Temple, it's good to be able to pull out this cancer, I'm only worried about whether Jia Yan's identity will be exposed prematurely."

Zhu Dingbei felt slightly worried.

The Ning family has the first priority of assisting the king from generation to generation. It is understandable that Ning Heng revealed to the emperor about Liangyue Temple, but it also disrupted Zhu Dingbei's plan-right now, he is still not able to complete the eleven Jia's family withdrew.

Ning Heng was aware of his concerns, he did not inform Zhu Dingbei in advance of what he would do, but he was sure that his plan would not be changed.

He reassured: "Jia Yan will not be exposed prematurely. I have already wiped out the clues to Liangyue Temple that I found on Eleventh. With Jia Yan's status and agility in the hidden pile, the emperor will not be able to arrest her in a short time. There is no need to worry about the safety of the Jia family."

With his guarantee, Zhu Dingbei has no doubts.Instead, he said: "The emperor will do more harm than good if he continues to investigate so aimlessly. The matter of Li Dang should be infiltrated to him slowly, so that many people will have the emperor to clean up for us, and give him a reminder not to be caught People do it."

Ning Heng smiled slightly, and naturally agreed with his words.However, he secretly felt wronged for the emperor—not to mention the emperor, even himself or the entire Ning family, if not for Changsheng's wit and bold guesses, it would be impossible to see through the existence of the Li Party and their inextricable relationship with the Xiongnu association.Li Dang has been in business for too long, like water dripping into the ocean, they have merged too harmoniously, and have become a part of the Dajing government. It is not easy to introspect and self-examine, and it is so difficult to find them.

"Unfortunately, Li Jia and Li B have limited knowledge. There are two remaining Li family fugitives who may know the inside story, one died in the South China Sea, and the other is in the hands of the emperor." They still don't know the fact that the rebel in the emperor's hands has died, There is also hope that the emperor can learn some useful clues from him.Zhu Dingbei paused for a moment, and then said: "The establishment of Xianbei's army must also be accelerated."

All along, they have been too passive, and even if Zhu Dingbei wants to fight back, he has nowhere to attack, and today, he doesn't need to be careful anymore.

Seeing that he was lost in thought, Ning Heng kept silent for a long while before hesitantly said: "Changsheng...do you really not want to go to Xianbei to join the army?"

Zhu Dingbei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "If I am unhappy alone, I can keep the entire Zhu family army, I would like nothing more. Besides, I have more important things to do."

Although occasionally he still feels disgusted by Luo Jing's three-acre land, and he always resists the nostalgia for the iron bones and the battlefield, but Zhu Dingbei has long since cut off the idea of ​​returning to Zhu's army.He was not reconciled in the past, and he couldn't deny that he always had the thought that he would go away and fly back to his own battlefield whenever he had the opportunity, but ever since the truth was slowly unveiled in front of him, it revealed that Dajing was riddled with holes and flaws. With the real face, this idea faded away.

He wants revenge, and he also wants to protect.

Protect the Zhu family, protect the Zhu family army, and protect the country.

For this, all sacrifices are made.What's more, he has long recognized the reality, since he chose to return to Luojing with Grandpa, he has already given up his freedom.

Ning Heng couldn't bear it, but he was relieved.

In the end he still said: "If one day, you change your mind. Don't hide it from me, okay?"

Zhu Dingbei laughed aloud, this kid looked at him with a dull face and such pity eyes from a boudoir, it really made people laugh and cry.He pursed his lips, nodded seriously, and said, "I would like to abide by the decree of Marquis Changxin." Then he couldn't help but said, "If I want to leave, I may not be able to hide it from you. What are you worried about?"

Ning Heng turned his gaze away, coughed and said, "I don't want to guess about you."

Whether it was malicious or kind, he didn't want to bother to speculate about Zhu Dingbei. He hoped to be honest with each other and to be the only person who could stand by Zhu Dingbei's side.

But in the end he didn't dare to show his heart, and was cowardly, so he covered his ears and said: "I promised to help you, this promise, as long as I live, I will fulfill it."

Zhu Dingbei's eyes were soft, and he moved closer to him. Seeing that his face was stiff and calm, he raised his eyebrows and said: "Why are you so serious? Anyway, Patriarch Ning's tiger-skin flag is very useful, and I still can't bear it." Don't use it."

He had a hippie smile on his face, but his expression was serious.

He didn't want to see Ning Heng's timid and cowardly appearance, but he was also troubled that he couldn't give him the promise and response he wanted.

Ning Heng must also understand that he is burdened with too many heavy responsibilities that he cannot help himself, and there are some senses of crisis that he is hiding that others cannot see through.Such a him is destined not to be fettered by the affection of his children.

Rather than saying that Ning Heng is afraid of being rejected, so he carefully hides his thoughts, it's better to say that he understands him, so he doesn't want to add to the chaos.

Ning Heng held his hand, with a faint sadness in his eyes, he said, "I don't want you to be too tired."

He didn't want Changsheng to bear it alone, he was afraid that the other party would be dragged down by the constant pressure on him sooner or later.Not only is it distressing, but he also looks forward to fighting side by side with Changsheng.
