A good night of sleep allowed Li Moyun's tired body and spirit to recover quickly. However, when he went out, he found that his young master was pacing back and forth in the yard with bloodshot eyes, obviously he had no rest all night. This made him feel tight and he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Young master, is that guy unwilling to explain?"

Li Ling stopped at this time, looked back at the person he trusted the most and said, "No, he has already confessed, and the person has already apologized for his death and was sent back by me."

"Then..." Li Moyun was about to ask why he was still so uneasy, but then he thought of something, "Who was he instructed?"

"Crown Prince!" Li Ling said two words lightly, but completely shocked Li Moyun. After a while, he came to his senses and repeated: "Crown Prince... Are you saying that the prince wants to deal with us?" When he said this, his voice trembled a little. It was because this matter was too frightened.

Li Ling looked at the other party with understanding, smiled bitterly, and nodded. When he heard this answer before, the fright and shock he was not inferior to Li Moyun, because this was so shocking.

The crown prince is the crown prince of the country and the future emperor, especially when King Yong was deprived of his power, demoted to the prince, and almost withdrew from the Eastern Palace to fight for it, the crown prince's position was completely solid. As soon as the emperor died, he would be the master of the entire Dayue world. So during these days, in the Luoyang court, there were really many people deliberately currying to please him, and the prince's glory was unparalleled.

Then, this king who represents the future is now trying to get rid of Li Ling by borrowing someone else's hand. No matter how you look at it, it's weird and terrifying. Not to mention that Li Ling still has no foundation now, even an old minister like Lu Zhen in the court will be enough to be a drink once he is targeted by the prince.

At this time, Fang Wenbi's words rang out in Li Ling's ears: "I was the intention of the prince and I have been assisting Dong Gongwang in the northern border. Just a few months ago, I received a secret order to find an opportunity to get rid of you. It would be best if I could use Dong Gongwang and other generals to eradicate you."

This sentence contains a lot of meanings. One is Fang Wenbi's identity. His real identity is not a military counselor but a confidant around the prince; the second is that this was indeed instructed by the prince, and it was unconcealed hostility towards Li Ling; the third is more important. Fang Wenbi was subjected to a secret order, so is he the only one in the northern border to deal with Li Ling? Obviously, in addition to him, there are other people who have also received similar secret orders, waiting for Li Ling to bump into him.

In Li Ling's view, these possible threats are more terrifying than the prince's hostility, because it is unknown, and he doesn't know when he will encounter open and hidden arrows. In the northern border, there are much more uncertain factors than when he was in the Central Plains.

Li Moyun couldn't think so much, but he was still uneasy for Li Ling: "Young Master, why are we hated by the prince? And how can we use such means at all costs? Also, what should we do next?"

Li Ling smiled bitterly, so he didn't sleep. He was walking in the yard for nearly an hour, just thinking about these two questions, but he still didn't have a clear answer now.

"If I have a grudge against the prince, it should be a few years ago to pursue it. Do you still remember that I was plotted by someone in the Ministry of Revenue and almost became a tool for the struggle between the prince and Yongwang?" Li Ling was now in need of someone to discuss the matter with him, so he pulled Li Moyun aside and sat down and talked about his own opinions.

Li Moyun recalled for a moment before nodding: "It's something that happened. The young master finally took off and dragged the Censorate down, causing a certain Censor to lose his reputation and finally he had to resign."

"Well, his name is Jiang He. On the surface, he looked as if he was neutral and loyal to His Majesty, but in fact, he was inclined to the prince and did not work for the prince in secret. So when this matter was revealed, His Majesty could not keep him. It was because of his old minister that he did not directly ask for guilt. But because of this, the prince's strength was greatly damaged. In the following years, he was suppressed by the Yongwang party. Until last year, I returned to Beijing to report on my work, and the case of killing Aries occurred...

"Actually, King Yong was also damaged at the beginning, and I was about to look at him, so I naturally thought that only King Yong would regard me as an enemy afterwards. As for the prince, I had long ignored it. After all, he was still in the northern border and had no sense of existence in the capital."

When talking about Li Ling's thoughts moved again, he thought of something even more strange: "Do you remember that after that, someone stole into his home and wanted to be unfavorable to me?"

Li Moyun nodded, and he took those assassins: "Didn't they finally find out that they were the thieves who should have been executed early? It should have been arranged by the Yongwang who was in charge of the Ministry of Justice at that time."

"I thought so before, but now I think about it, is it really the case? King Yong was so careless that he threw out such a big handle? You have also seen the result of the slaughter of Aries case. He really dared to take such a risk just to relieve his hatred and kill me? Or is it clearly someone is framed and framing me?"

Li Ling's series of questions really stopped Li Moyun. After pondering for a while, he had to nod: "The young master's concerns are quite reasonable. Maybe those assassins are really sent by the prince. So he has actually held a grudge against you for a long time?"

"Well, there is another thing worth exploring, that is, the deaths of those assassins. They did not have an accident in the Ministry of Justice, but in the Censorate. Because His Majesty also knew that the Censorate was where King Yong could not get into the hands, so the prisoners could only be guaranteed if they stayed there, but they didn't expect that they would die. Then the matter was left unresolved.

"At that time, I thought this was Your Majesty's defending King Yong, but now I'm afraid it may not be. Your Majesty has guessed that this is the prince's man, and then some problems from the Ministry of Justice exist. In order not to cause a bigger storm, we have to go through the matter."

After looking back a few years ago, I found that there was a deeper hidden inside, which made Li Moyun even more shocked. It turned out that the prince had long been deeply hostile to the prince, and even wanted to get rid of him soon.

But then, he thought of something unreasonable: "Young Master, if you really want to follow what you said, why didn't he take action again after that? On the contrary, King Yong did not give up."

"This may be because His Majesty or Lu Prime Minister attacked from the side, or the prince at that time also had concerns. After all, King Yong was even more powerful in the capital at that time, and an omission might be taken advantage of by his opponent. And as time goes by, the previous friction was forgotten."

"Then why is he bringing up the old things again now? So many years have passed, and the prince can't still be resentful of his previous grievances, and even hesitate to call on the people from the northern border." Li Moyun was still puzzled. Although he was not very familiar with the situation here, he also knew what it means to put a counselor like Fang Wenbi to Dong Gongwang and how great the effect is.

But now, for the sake of Li Ling, the prince actually used such an important piece, which is inappropriate no matter how he counts it.

Li Ling also frowned and said, "I feel strange about this. If the grudges of the past had already changed, the prince would not have held such a grudge; but other than that, I really didn't offend him. Unless it was..." Speaking of this, his expression suddenly changed, but he thought of something.

"Young Master thinks about the reason?"

"Do you think it will be related to my defeat of King Yong before?" Li Ling suddenly said this, but Li Moyun looked unacceptable: "This is even more unreasonable. Although the prince and King Yong are brothers, they have become a big deal. We will help the prince to defeat King Yong, which will only make the prince profit. He should thank us, not wanting to murder the young master."

"No, you don't understand what I mean. I mean that from this matter, he has a deep fear of me, or even fear." Li Ling took a deep breath and said with a serious expression, "You think, if you were the prince, after seeing my methods, would you worry that one day he would follow the footsteps of Queen Yong? After all, the prince is like King Yong, although he looks upright on the surface, he has done many shameful things behind his back.

"There is another point, that is, I had a grudge with both of them at that time. We didn't know at that time, but he knew it very well. He wanted to send an assassin to kill me at that time. I will never forget such grudges, nor will he forget them. Since I have threatened me, it is better to take action first."

Li Moyun could understand it now, but after taking a breath, his face looked bad: "The young master's concerns are reasonable, but in this way, things are difficult to handle. Even if we avoid Fang Wenbi's plan this time, what about the next time?"

"Yes, there is no reason to guard against thieves for thousands of days in the world. Moreover, this is the Northern Xinjiang. If I am not careful, I have to spend my life here. I must think of a perfect solution to protect myself. At least I have to let other people who have received the secret order weigh the consequences before taking action." Li Ling said, his eyes flashing, "Killing Fang Wenbi is only the first step. I have to pull a few important people to this side, but I am unfamiliar with Northern Xinjiang, so I have to rely on people to guide the way..."

After sorting out this, Li Ling had already had a solution and his expression became relaxed. Li Moyun also understood his next plan: "Young Master wants to ask Lord Wen for advice?"
