Chapter 990 The trust between Xiao Junze and Jing Li
Fengtian, Imperial Palace.
When Jing Li entered the palace, the attitudes of the people in the palace had undergone earth-shaking changes.
These people who follow the trend are always like this, worshiping the superior and disobeying the inferior. They are very good at observing the situation and the emperor's eyebrows.
"When will Your Majesty see me?" Jing Li asked.
The father-in-law who took the lead looked impatient. "Since your Majesty has summoned you, the general will just wait and see."
Jing Li frowned, said nothing, and just waited quietly.
When Xiao Junze came back from the side hall, the moonlight had already climbed up the branches.
"Jing Li, see your Majesty." Jing Li knelt down on one knee.
"You all stand down." Xiao Junze said in a deep voice and looked at the commander of the imperial army, Chen Lin, with deep meaning.
This person is a person left behind by the late emperor. He is absolutely loyal and trustworthy.
Chen Lin nodded and led people to surround the imperial study.
Walking into the imperial study, Xiao Junze lost the coldness on his face. "How have you been at home these past few days? Have you had any visions?"
"Back to Your Majesty, there is a group of killers. Although this time they are not the totems of the secret guards in the palace, their identities can be linked to Your Majesty, the Rakshasa Sect's warrant." Jing Li took out the token from the killer.
Xiao Junze's face darkened. "The Wu Clan will do anything to drive a wedge between you and me."
"So far, there has been no movement from the Wu Clan. Except for Xingchen who has been following me, there is no hint of trouble." Jing Li was a little anxious. The more so, the more unclear he was about what the Wu Clan wanted to do.
"The Wu Clan is not in a hurry now." Xiao Junze could also see that the Wu Clan's focus suddenly shifted to Dayu. "Their attention seems to be on Dayu."
Now that Yin Chengyu is on his own expedition, it is enough to see that the center of gravity of the Wu clan and the old Gujia tribe must be over there.
"How much do you know about Kangzhe?" Xiao Junze spoke again.
"Helian Disheng came to me and told me roughly the current situation of Gujia. The leader of the Kang family is Kang Zhe, followed by Murong Di, and then the Helian family. These are also the three war god families of Gujia.
."
Xiao Junze nodded, he had heard of it too.
"Kangzhe was raised by the Great Elder of the Wu Clan. This man should be the trump card in the hands of the Great Elder of the Wu Clan." Jing Li frowned and spoke again. "I'm afraid this man is not simple, otherwise he would not be able to force Emperor Dayu to take over.
Conquer in person."
"The Wu Clan hasn't taken action yet, so I can only wrong you like this first." Xiao Junze sighed and patted Jing Li on the shoulder.
Jing Li smiled. "Your Majesty...this is what I should do."
I am not aggrieved. As long as I know that His Majesty really trusts him, I will not be aggrieved.
"Do you know the identity of the woman who was rescued in Gujia's secret room some time ago?" Xiao Junze thought of the woman in the side courtyard.
"Yes..." Jing Li obviously didn't know.
"She said she was your sister, and you both have the same wolf fang totem." Xiao Junze was a little worried about the woman's purpose.
"Sister?" Jing Li was stunned for a moment, having no memory at all. "A sister came to the military camp that day, and now another sister came out..."
The one named Nangu Tingyu was said to be his sister and half-mother.
"She said she is your sister from the same mother, and her name is Nan Gu Yunlan."
Jing Li was silent for a long time. "Everything... is at your Majesty's discretion."
If Xiao Junze is willing to let him meet, he will meet him.
"You know I trust you, but I don't trust others." Xiao Junze lowered his voice and took a deep breath.
Jing Li understood Xiao Junze. "Your Majesty, Jing Li's life was given by you. No matter what my status is, it will not shake the relationship between me and Your Majesty."
Xiao Junze nodded. "You and I... Mu Huaichen Qifeng, the four of us grew up together. We trust each other. We can get to where we are today... because of this."
After speaking, Xiao Junze pointed to his heart.
Jing Li nodded.
"Take that woman back." Xiao Junze finally decided to let Nan Gu Yunlan and Jing Li go back.
He believed in Jing Li and Nan Gu Yunlan, but he couldn't pull any tricks.
Jing Li was stunned for a moment and looked at His Majesty nervously. "What if she and someone from the Witch Clan..."
What if she is the Wu Clan’s spy who deliberately placed in Fengtian? "My subordinates feel that there is something wrong with the appearance of this woman. The Wu Clan is the most cautious. How could we let us find the clue so easily? Moreover, there are too many secrets in her body.
I know too many secrets of the Wu clan.”
Xiao Junze nodded. He had the same doubts as Jing Li. "But this woman is too vigilant, as vigilant as a wild fox on the grassland, and she can't ask anything at all."
Nan Gu Yunlan has been locked in an underground secret room for so many years, and it is impossible to get words out of her.
What is the true purpose of this woman has to be revealed slowly.
"Your Majesty means... to let your subordinates..." Jing Li is not stupid. He knows that Xiao Junze's agreement to let him take away Nan Gu Yunlan is a kind of trust, but it is also a task.
Find out her true purpose.
"The person who knows the Wu Clan best is probably her." Xiao Junze had a hunch that this woman would be the key to unlocking the secrets of the Wu Clan.
"I understand." Jing Li folded his hands and bowed, but he was still a little worried. "My subordinate is just worried..."
"Worried that we are no match for her and she will notice that we are pretending?" Xiao Junze smiled. "Don't worry, with Shen Yunrou here, she won't be able to make a difference."
Based on Xiao Junze's understanding of Shen Yunrou, even if Nan Gu Yunlan becomes a fox spirit, he may not be able to defeat Shen Yunrou.
She is Shen Qingzhou's daughter and Chaoyang's sister.
Jing Li lowered his head in embarrassment. "I understand, my subordinate."
"Xingchen, I'm afraid you will also trouble Shen Yunrou. You have a straightforward temper and can be a general and secret guard. These intrigues are not your strong point." Xiao Junze knew that the current situation had wronged Jingli.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to blame yourself. No matter what you tell Jing Li to do, Jing Li will do it."
"Jing Li... I am willing to believe you, but the world is turbulent, and it is still unknown who will rule in the future. In this world... do you really have no idea?" Xiao Junze looked at Jing Li, wanting to talk to him honestly.
Have a heart-to-heart talk.
Jing Li knelt down on one knee and shook his head firmly. "Jing Li has no ambitions. He only wants to have children and a daughter, and be together for the rest of his life..."
He has never had the slightest thought about the world.
"But if the crown comes to you, what will you do?"
Jing Li took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice, "If I don't want to, no one can force me."
"I believe in you."
…
After leaving the palace, Jing Li's heart was always entangled.
Taking Nan Gu Yunlan away actually put a thorn in His Majesty's and his heart.
If the witch clan is not eliminated, the world will be unstable.
He is always a hidden danger.
Even if His Majesty believes him...
He also didn't want to cause His Majesty more worries.
I'm afraid it will be a matter of time before I leave Fengtian.
But now, he is willing to help His Majesty solve everything and stabilize the world.
Once the situation in the world stabilized, he took his wife and daughter and left Kyoto.
Find a deserted place, hide from the world and live in seclusion, and from now on don't care about the affairs of the world or the court.
"General, the carriage is coming."
Jing Li glanced at the carriage coming out of the palace and tightened the reins cautiously.
In the carriage, a fair-skinned woman opened the curtain and stared at Jing Li for a long time with red eyes.
