"Oh, you little eunuch, can you know the mastermind who killed my father?" Yan Ning stretched out his hand and stopped Xiaoqing's sword that was about to stab.

"Really... I really know, I heard it by chance. Actually... I was once the prince's person. It is precisely because of this that the king asked me to come to the Five Prefectures of Beichuan to issue an imperial edict to the Marquis of Zhenbei. He knew that I did not belong to the camp of the Lingwang, nor did I belong to the camp of the Huaiwang, but... just..."

"Just what?"

"But I offended Yan Xiaotian... At that time, I had just done something for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I didn't know that he was Zhenbei Hou, so I offended him. Later... I never got reused. I knew that this must be the reason for Yan Xiaotian, and I hated him!"

"Speak." Yan Ning nodded.

"When I came to Beichuan, the king once gave me two decrees, asking me to determine based on the situation of Zhenbei Hou Mansion. If Zhenbei Hou Mansion did not care about Yan Xiaotian's affairs and was still loyal to the emperor as always, he would read the first decree and grant you the title of Zhenbei Hou, and choose the time to go to Kyoto to thank you."

"So, did you choose the second will?"

"Yes, the king said that if the Zhenbei Hou Mansion was dissatisfied and vowed to investigate the cause of Yan Xiaotian's death, I asked me to read the second decree and grant you the title of Qing'an Marquis, and I will never have the chance to have the Zhenbei Army from now on." Eunuch Liang said tremblingly.

"So, what do you mean is the monarch who murdered my father?" Yan Ning also stared at Eunuch Liang's face when he heard this.

"No! It's not the King of Yan who was murdered by the king, it's...yes..."

"Who is it?"

"No, I can't say now that you must promise to let me go, and you want to kill them... If you don't kill them, they will definitely kill me!" Eunuch Liang shook his head in horror, and pointed his finger at dozens of tied imperial guards around him.

"You want me to kill these imperial guards?" Yan Ning nodded, and his eyes gradually turned to the sergeant soldiers behind Eunuch Liang.

"Mr. Yan, we are the guards of the imperial city. If you kill us, you will be an enemy of the king!" An imperial guard commander stood up and looked directly at Yan Ning's eyes.

"Haha, is that right? The guards of the imperial city...why would you like to guess why you were caught by me?" Yan Ning smiled.

“…”

"You know that the Zhenbei Army is now under my command, and I will definitely not let Eunuch Liang return to Beijing, but you still took him out of the city immediately after I broke through the four gates of Qingshan City, and then plunged into my ambush circle. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't fit the cautious style of the Imperial Guard?"

"I was waiting for your plan, and I didn't expect you to set up an ambush outside the city!"

"Haha, it's just a little ambush. If the Imperial Guards don't embrace each other, but choose to flee back to Kyoto in a dispersed manner, it should be easy, right?"

"..." The Imperial Guard.

"But you are not dispersed. If I guess correctly, your real purpose is to use Eunuch Liang as bait to cover King Huai who escaped at the same time, right?" Yan Ning spoke again.

"Mr. Yan is indeed unparalleled in wisdom and is worthy of being the name of an immortal master. It's a pity that King Huai has already entered the rivers. Even if your flying sword can kill the enemy thousands of miles away, I'm afraid I can't find where King Huai is, right?"

"It seems that it's not just Eunuch Liang who voted for King Huai, but you also took the benefits of King Huai?" Yan Ning smiled, then waved his hand: "Since that's the case, then let's kill them all as you wish."

"Yan Ning, do you think that if you become an immortal, no one can control you? Let me tell you that there is also a temple of war gods, and Dongfang Bupo is also an immortal!"

"Take it outside the city so as not to get rid of the city gate."

"Yes!" Xiaoqing nodded immediately, and with a wave of his hand, the Zhenbei Army took dozens of imperial guards away. In a moment, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

At this moment, Yan Ning looked at Eunuch Liang again.

"I won't say it now, I want to make sure I'm safe!" Eunuch Liang said immediately.

"But I am an immortal? Even if I let you escape thousands of miles, my sword can still take your life. How do you think you can ensure your safety?" Yan Ning looked at Eunuch Liang with some embarrassment.

“…” Eunuch Liang.

"Eunuch Liang, you have no choice now. If you believe me, you may still have a way out, but if you don't believe me, you will definitely die." Yan Ning continued.

"..." Eunuch Liang was silent, his teeth were clenched tightly, and finally sighed: "Okay, I'll tell you who the mastermind behind the scenes is."

"Tell me." Yan Ning nodded.

"It is the east that cannot be broken, and the east that of the God of War Temple is not broken." Eunuch Liang looked at Yan Ning suddenly.

"Haha...Eunuch Liang, do you think I will believe it?" Yan Ning smiled.

"Really, I didn't lie to you. One day, I accidentally heard the king talking to himself by the lake. I realized that the person who killed Mr. Yan was actually the East Bubble." Eunuch Liang said immediately.

"The king talked to himself? He said that the one who killed my father was Dongfang Bupo?"

"Yes, you should know... When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was alive, all the six ministries of the country surrendered to him. In addition, with the help of the Marquis of Yan, the power was at its peak. The king could no longer have any solutions to His Royal Highness. Only the Temple of War God... The Temple of War God is independent of the regime!"

"Then what?"

"Then I don't know very clearly. I only know that His Highness the Crown Prince had a conflict with the Temple of War. This matter is not a secret in Kyoto."

"So, the Temple of War killed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and my father?"

"No, no... His Highness the Crown Prince was not killed by the Temple of War God. He died of illness. The king only mentioned at that time, 'Yan Xiaotian's death was something he did not expect. He did not expect Dongfang Bupo would do this.' My guess is that when His Highness the Crown Prince and the Temple of War God, Yan Xiaotian must have offended the Temple of War God, so Dongfang Bupo would kill him!"

"Because my father helped the prince, he offended the Temple of War God?" Yan Ning frowned slightly. After all, this reason seemed reasonable, but in fact it was full of mistakes.

The Temple of War does not care about the government affairs!

If the prince died of illness, then Dongfang Bupo would have no reason to kill his father, because a single Zhenbei Hou Mansion would not threaten the status of the God of War Temple.

"Mr. Yan, I have already told you everything I know. Can you let me go?" Eunuch Liang looked at Yan Ning with anticipation.

"Well, I won't kill you." Yan Ning nodded seriously.

"Pu Thorn!"

A long sword stabbed through Eunuch Liang's back.

A sword pierces the heart.

Eunuch Liang's eyes were wide open, and he looked at Xiaoqing behind him with disbelief.

"you……"

"thump!"

Eunuch Liang fell to the ground.

Yan Ning looked at Xiaoqing with a "I'm very fierce" expression and shook her head speechlessly.

"Xiaoqing, how can you kill him?"

"Master, if he hadn't sent the second order that day, what happened today would not have happened today. Xiaoqing must kill him. Please punish me for the eldest master!" Xiaoqing said with a smacking voice.

"Well, I'll punish you to go to the study room to copy books at night!" Yan Ning raised his lips.

"Copying a book? Okay!" Xiaoqing looked happy, and seemed to not think that this was a punishment at all. After all, every time she copied a book, Yan Ning would teach her some postures, oh, it was wrong... knowledge!

...

...

Two days later.

Kyoto Imperial City.

King Huai knelt on the ground of the imperial study room.

In the past two days, he ran back to Kyoto from Qingshan City in one breath, and he didn't even dare to enter the city. He picked all the shortcuts in the barren mountains. It can be said that he was the most embarrassing time in his life.

"Yan Ning!!!" King Huai's teeth were tightened. He hated him, wishing he could tear Yan Ning with his hands.

"Report!!"

"Northern border urgent report!"

“…”

At this moment, an urgent report came from outside the door.

Two guards guarding at the door of the Imperial Study Room immediately walked out, and for a moment, walked in with a military emergency report.

"Your Majesty, the Northland emergency military information!"

"Um."

The middle-aged man who had been criticizing Qin Zhang on the desk raised his head and put down a jade pen carved from white jade in his hand.

When the middle-aged man looked up, a father-in-law following him had immediately walked to the guard and received the urgent military report from the guard.

The guard retreated.

But King Huai lowered his head at this time.

The middle-aged man looked at his father-in-law who had returned to him. A faint blue light flashed in his deep eyes.

The air in the whole room seemed to be much colder at this moment.

"Remember." The man spoke.

"The Northern Army reported urgently that two days ago, the 100,000 Iron Armored Army of Beiliang suddenly launched a large-scale attack and captured the northern border city. The northern border of Daqian was lost." When the father-in-law thought about this, his eyes couldn't help but jump.

"Report! Zhenbei Hou Yanning, 800 miles of urgent news!" A voice came from outside the door again.

“Support it!”

"yes!"

“…”

"Continue to read."

"Your Majesty...is it Yan Ning's apology?"

"Yeah, read on." The man nodded.

"Yes, I apologize to Your Majesty: I have privately investigated the 73 private mines in the Five Prefectures of Beichuan, and implicated a group of princes and nobles in the Five Prefectures of Beichuan, Duke An Guo, Marquis Lin Guang, Cao Qingfang and others... In the end, it caused Cao Qingmang and Duke An Guo to stand up and take the risk. They used the name of Duke Liang to falsely pass the imperial edict, intending to force 80,000 Zhenbei troops out of the border city to besiege Zhenbei Hou Mansion. Because of this move, the border city was empty, giving Beiliang iron armor an opportunity to take advantage of..."

"Read again!" The man's eyes narrowed slightly.

"It's a pity that Cao Qingfang and others did not understand military tactics. After being occupied by the border city, they urgently ordered 80,000 Zhenbei Army to return to attack the city, which eventually led to the destruction of all 80,000 Zhenbei Army..."

"What?!" King Huai raised his head.

Because, he really couldn't continue to endure it.

In the front, Yan Ning was dirty and Cao Qingfang, Duke An Guo and others faked the imperial edict, but now they say that all the 80,000 Zhenbei Army were destroyed?!

He really can't stand this!
Chapter completed!
