"General Ning, doesn't he know what's going on outside?" Li Lin asked calmly.
"Of course, the general was just summoned by the prince's personal guards and has not left until now. Naturally, he doesn't know what is happening outside." Ning Yun seemed completely unaware.
"Okay, I will talk to you. Just now..."
Li Lin told them what had just happened in the city during the summer solstice and the results of his inquiry.
"What? How is this possible?"
Ning Yun looked shocked. He was completely unaware of the lack of water. Ning Chuan had given him instructions to stabilize Li Lin first and gain Li Lin's trust. How could he do such a thing.
"You don't know? The person in our army who is responsible for contacting Jinfang is your clan brother, right?"
Li Lin stared at Ning Yun closely, trying to see any flaw in his face.
"Your Majesty, do you really not know what Ning Cheng is doing?"
"You don't know? Don't you know that Ning Cheng can come up with a deal of 10 million taels?"
"this……"
Ning Cheng was a little at a loss. Could it be that Ning Chuan had temporarily handed it over to Ning Cheng?
"It shouldn't be. Father has always been prudent in his work and would not be so reckless."
Ning Cheng thought, but he couldn't tell what was going on at this time. He was being held in this place and couldn't communicate with Ning Cheng. This unexpected situation made him feel a little panicked.
"General Ning, what's your explanation?"
"Your Majesty, I really don't know what the situation is, but if it is really what Ning Cheng did, I will never tolerate it."
"Clear yourself first, and then think of a solution." Ning Cheng had this thought at this time.
"No need. If these soldiers said it personally in front of everyone, there is no way it is false." Li Lin looked at Ning Yun coldly.
"I have sent my personal guards to question Ning Cheng. I think someone will come back with Ning Cheng's confession later."
"Your Majesty! Are you going to beat up our border army general, Mr. Ningguo's nephew, because of the nonsense told by a few soldiers?"
Ning Yun panicked. Before the situation was confirmed, he was really worried that Ning Cheng would cause trouble.
If he recruits...the entire Duke Ning's family will be in danger.
"How presumptuous! How can I, the king, be the one who surrenders to defeat?" Li Lin shouted angrily!
The atmosphere became tense, and then a personal guard came in.
"Your Majesty, there is a result."
Li Lin waved his hand and motioned for Ning Yun to go out.
"You go out first and think about your attitude. I will talk to you later."
Ning Yun's face was livid at this time, but he had to lower his head after throwing it under the eaves, so he casually handed it over and walked out.
But his eyes were indeed fixed on what the bodyguard had brought.
After Ning Yun went out, he looked around and saw that everyone around him should be patrolling the camp. This was Li Lin's arrangement. He couldn't just let his most trusted secret guard go on his behalf every day when he was looking for a camp.
Ning Yun stayed close to the tent quietly, listening to the sounds inside and hoping to hear something.
But the noise inside was not loud. I could only hear things like border troops, senior officials, military discipline, and the imperial court.
"Rebellion?!" Li Lin suddenly shouted angrily from inside.
Ning Yun shuddered even more after hearing this word. Could it be...
Thinking of this is like running, but now this is the position of the Beijing army, and Li Lin's personal guard has returned from looking for camp at some point. He will definitely not be able to run out at this time.
"Now that he is not sure that my Ning family is rebelling, we can stabilize him first... Damn it, this Ning Cheng is really weak."
Now that Ning Yun couldn't run away, he could only think about how to talk to Li Lin later so that he would stop believing in Ning Cheng and believe in him. At the same time, he also made up his mind to push Ning Cheng out as a scapegoat.
After saying yes, the guards retreated.
"come in!"
Ning Yun made plans and walked in.
"How are you thinking?"
Li Lin saw Ning Yun walking in and asked.
"I feel that what I just said was a bit abrupt, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Ning Yun bowed to Li Lin respectfully.
"good."
Li Linzhi replied to Ning Yun with one word and said nothing more.
Ning Yun looked at Li Lin's reaction and felt a little confused. When he went out just now, Li Lin's clothes looked aggressive, why did he become like this now?
"Is he trying to stabilize me? Could it be!"
Ning Yun suddenly panicked. He was worried that Li Lin was trying to harm the border troops. Without these 50,000 border troops, both he and the Ning family's plans would be greatly damaged.
"Your Majesty! The general will definitely deal with the warlord who is the culprit when he returns. He will not tolerate it."
Just now, he wanted to mediate with Li Lin again. At this time, Ning Yun's decision became very clear. He added that he must first gain Li Lin's trust no matter what.
"Oh, General Ning doesn't need to check anymore?"
At this time, Li Lin was also sure that there was something wrong with Ning Yun.
When he was questioning him just now, he felt that Ning Yun did not know anything about this matter, and he had never let him come into contact with Ning Cheng. Normally, it was impossible for him to give up on Ning Cheng like this.
Moreover, the bodyguard did ask Ning Cheng and came to report just now. Ning Cheng admitted it very frankly and insisted that he did it alone. Now, no matter whether Ning Yun knew it or not, he could not pin this crime on Ning Yun.
on the head.
Let's put this matter aside for now and test Li Chen and Xu Ya's loyalty to the Ning family.
Therefore, I just deliberately said some words related to the Ning family and the Prime Minister's joint rebellion.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Ning Guo is really cunning. Regardless of the reason why he had this idea, we need to solve this problem now." Li Lin thought about the priorities of the current matter and what to say next.
"Your Majesty, since you found out the matter in public in the hall, there must be no lie. It was my selfishness towards my clan brother that made me want to tolerate him."
Li Lin looked at Ning Yun who repeated what he said. He wanted to solve it as soon as possible...
"However, the general has just taken advantage of the situation and has sobered up a lot. Those who undermine the country's plans and the military system must not be tolerated and must be severely punished!"
Ning Yun spoke impassionedly for a long time, but Li Lin's expression was still indifferent, and he felt a little troubled. He didn't know how to follow up, so he could only wait silently.
silence……
Ning Yun felt his breathing getting heavier and heavier, and the air pressure above his head getting stronger and stronger.
Still silent again, Li Lilin still looked indifferent at this time. Ning Yun opened his mouth and started breathing.
It was the first time that Ning Yun felt such strong pressure. He had met the emperor and the former prince before, but he never felt such strong pressure.
Finally, when he felt that his throat was dry and he could hardly breathe, he heard Li Lin's voice.
"General Ning said well, but I am still a little worried about your participation in this operation."
"My lord, I personally punished Ning Cheng with military law!"
