Lu Wanjie supported Li Chengqian and walked in slowly from outside.

Seeing the two of them, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Isn't Li Chengqian recuperating in the East Palace?

"Your Highness, why did you come here..."

Cheng Yaojin hurriedly stepped forward to hold Li Chengqian's other arm.

"Some things must be asked in person."

"Otherwise, even if I sleep, I won't be able to sleep peacefully."

Li Chengqian's face was pale and his voice seemed extremely weak.

Cheng Yaojin was stunned, glanced at Li Chengqian, and then at Jiang Li who was kneeling there.

He also roughly guessed what Li Chengqian wanted to do, so he didn't say much.

Li Chengqian slowly walked up to Jiang Li.

"Leader Jiang."

"You probably wouldn't have thought that it would happen in just a few hours."

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "We will meet here in this way, right?"

"yes."

"Who would have thought of such a thing?"

Although Jiang Li was also smiling, his smile was extremely bitter.

In the morning, she met Li Chengqian, still in the peach garden, chatting about the beautiful scenery.

But only a few hours later.

When the two met again, they had already arrived at Jinwuwei's Yamen. The contrast between one day and one place could be described as one day at a time.

Li Chengqian waved for someone to bring a chair.

Then, he sat directly in front of Jiang Li: "Tell me about it, you know."

Jiang Li slowly raised his head and met Li Chengqian's eyes.

"I'm afraid Your Highness doesn't know yet."

"The Duke of Guo asked me just now."

"I really don't know anything, I don't know anything."

"Besides, I also know how serious a crime I have committed."

"So your Highness, don't waste any more time and just blame me directly..."

After the words fell, Jiang Li also lowered his head and pressed his forehead tightly to the ground.

Seeing her so out of touch.

Cheng Yaojin took a deep breath: "Your Highness, why don't we send her to the dungeon..."

The so-called sending to the dungeon.

It is nothing more than giving Jiang Li a sentence.

Li Chengqian shook his head and turned to Jiang Li: "Master Jiang, I don't know why you chose to help Cui Yinghe."

"But I can see that you are not a woman with a vicious heart."

"Even, I know that you don't actually want to kill me."

"You did this out of necessity, right?"

This is not just a guess.

From the first time Li Chengqian met Jiang Li, he felt that something was not right about this woman.

But he couldn't tell what exactly was wrong.

Until the assassin appeared, Jiang Li knocked down the assassin immediately.

Li Chengqian was sure that Jiang Li was involved in this assassination.

She was also mostly forced into it.

after all.

The name of Leader Jiang has been popular in Chang'an City for at least ten years.

Even some dignitaries were proud to invite Team Leader Jiang home.

And even if you search all over the country, you won't be able to find a few troupes with such status.

It is no exaggeration to say that Jiang Li is the leader of this industry today.

Is it necessary for such a person to sacrifice everything to help an unknown rebel who will be caught and beheaded at any time?

After hearing what Li Chengqian said, Jiang Li pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

"You don't speak."

"Then I'll just assume I'm right."

Li Chengqian rubbed his fingers and changed the topic.

"The first time I met Cui Yinghe was probably ten years ago."

“That’s when my cousin fell in love with her at first sight.”

"But my first impression of him was not good, because I thought this woman had evil intentions."

"I don't know if she is smart or not, but she must be a woman who is used to competing for favor."

"This kind of woman is harmful to men, especially men like my cousin who have been highly expected to serve the Tang Dynasty since childhood."

"So, I used some tricks."

"My cousin changed his mind and married my current cousin-in-law."

"Everyone in Chang'an City should know what happens next."

"The Cui family came to our royal family to cause trouble, and then my father ordered them to be wiped out."

"At that time, I never thought that this woman would make a comeback one day."

When he said this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "I didn't expect that she would bring me such a big trouble."

"But in the process."

"I also got to know this woman better."

"This woman's scheming is simply terrifying, and she is extremely ruthless..."

When Li Chengqian spoke, he kept looking at Jiang Li.

And after he said these extremely cruel words, Jiang Li's eyes clearly flashed with hatred.

Li Chengqian curled his lips: "I don't know what she promised you, and I don't know if you have something in her hands."

"I'm just telling you one thing."

"You'd better not believe this woman."

"Otherwise she will bring you despair that is no different than death."

Jiang Li suddenly clenched his fists, then raised his head to glance at Li Chengqian, and then lowered his head.

It was obvious that she was hesitating and struggling.

Li Chengqian seized the opportunity and struck while the iron was hot.

"She can give it to you."

"I can give it to you."

"And if you have any leverage against her, I will also help you solve the problem."

"Even everything you do today, I can forget about it."

Li Chengqian said word for word: "I just need you to tell me where she is and what other plans she has..."

Jiang Li raised his head again, with an incredible look in his eyes.

"You don't need to look at me like that."

"I, Li Chengqian, have always kept my word for so many years."

"As long as I say something, I will do it."

Li Chengqian spread his hands and said: "Now whether you are alive or dead, the choice is in your hands."

Jiang Li turned his head away and bit his lip tightly.

I don't know how long it took, but she suddenly took a long breath.

It looked like a deflated rubber ball.

"Where is she?"

Jiang Li said in a calm voice: "I actually told Your Highness as early as this morning."

"In the morning?"

Li Chengqian suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Did you tell yourself this morning?

What did you tell yourself?

Just at this moment, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through Li Chengqian's mind.

He frowned and asked, "You mean, that peach forest?"

This was the only place mentioned in the conversation between the two in the morning.

Jiang Li nodded: "She has been hiding in that peach forest, and then used letters to communicate with the hidden stakes under her banner to command the dead soldiers she raised."

Li Chengqian rubbed his chin.

Immediately afterwards.

He focused his attention on Jiang Li: "What about you? Are you also her backstabber?"

"Hidden stakes?"

Jiang Li shook his head and smiled, but his smile was full of self-deprecation.

"I have such a lowly status as a concubine."

"How can I be a hidden stake for Miss Cui?"

"The reason why I do things for her is entirely because..."

Jiang Li paused and gritted his teeth: "It's because this sinister woman kidnapped my son and threatened me with my son's life..."
