When things got to this point, the emperor didn't want to cover up anything anymore, so naturally Lin Ye couldn't cover up anything anymore.
Lin Ye satisfied the emperor, and Lin Ye was also satisfied with the emperor.
But Lin Ye still had one question that he hadn't thought clearly about. He couldn't ask the emperor directly yet.
It can be said that the emperor's plan was very bold, so bold that he didn't care about his own life or death at all.
Because the basis for the success of this plan is that the emperor cooperates with Tuoba Lie's plan and leaves Dayu to come to Guzhu.
Lin Ye also knew very well that even if Tuoba Lie failed to let the emperor go to Guzhu this time, he could still let the emperor go to Dongbo.
The worst thing is that the emperor comes to Yunzhou.
What Lin Ye hasn't figured out yet is why the Emperor is here like this. The Emperor has no successor yet. If anything goes wrong with this plan, and something happens to him in Lone Bamboo, Dayu's world will fall apart.
Moreover, the emperor had been so ruthless before that he had eradicated all those who could threaten the throne.
His brothers, his brothers' children, none of them could be spared.
Under such a situation, if something happened to the emperor in Lone Bamboo, no one from the royal family would be able to choose to inherit the throne.
Can Dayu not be in chaos?
If he couldn't understand this, Lin Ye always felt that the emperor's plan was a bit incomprehensible.
But based on Lin Ye's understanding of the emperor now, he was sure that it was impossible for the emperor to be unprepared. What kind of emperor was he who was thoughtful and had a strong sense of the overall situation? How could he not hold back?
However, even if he holds back, is he really prepared to die here?
Would you rather die here than completely clean up Dayu's hidden dangers?
However, the affairs of Jiangshan and Sheji are bound to be difficult to change. The emperor can change the atmosphere of Dayu for thirty years on his own.
But after the emperor is gone, it may only take another thirty years for the powerful ministers to be in power and the wealthy families to be in power.
No matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible for him to control the events of a hundred years behind him.
Because I don’t understand, I have admiration instead.
What the emperor has done in the past twenty years is not something that an ordinary person can do.
If you are not decisive enough, confident enough, even if you are not cruel enough or vicious enough, you will not be able to persevere.
After getting off the emperor's chariot, Lin Ye was supposed to meet Zinai and Tuoba Yunxi.
But since he came to pick him up, he couldn't just wander around in the emperor's team.
Zinai was a little excited when she saw him. Although she hadn't been away from Lin Ye for long, every day was a torment for her.
She can cope with the coming emperor, but she can't cope with missing him every day.
"He can't just come up, but you can go down."
Tuoba Yunxi suddenly said something.
Zinai was overjoyed at first, but then quickly shook his head: "Forget it, just hold on and get to Yangzicheng."
She said: "My brother wanted to protect the Holy Driver outside, and I ran out to disturb him. Many people would gossip."
Tuoba Yunxi smiled.
She looked out the window at the young man riding a war horse in the distance, feeling a little dazed.
When I first met Lin Ye, the guy was only fourteen years old. Although he looked delicate and handsome, there was still a bit of childishness on his face.
Now that he is seventeen years old, his childishness is gone, only his heroic spirit.
"Your brother has grown up."
She whispered to herself.
After saying this, she realized that she shouldn't have said such a sentence, so she turned her head and looked away.
Zinai also laughed.
But the girl Xiaohe sitting next to Tuoba Yunxi didn't know why she looked so embarrassed.
It was as if she couldn't settle down in this strange place.
Tuoba Yunxi just glanced at her, which made the already a little embarrassed girl even more panicked.
She panicked even though she was trying to show that she was actually very calm. Her acting skills were not that good, so her face turned a little red.
Miss Xiaohe was thinking, why should she do this? If she had known better, she would have stayed in Yunzhou.
But the eldest lady wanted to come to Lone Bamboo with her imperial chariot, so of course she didn't feel comfortable letting the eldest lady come alone.
The thoughts of one woman can be turbulent, and the thoughts of three women can change the situation.
At the same time, Yangzicheng.
Ning Weimo disappeared.
On the day Sui Qing went to kill the Suzaku group of Nighthawk Camp, Ning Weimo disappeared.
Also missing with Ning Weimo was Salang.
Not everything is expected, and not everything is within control.
Their opponent is Tuoba Lie, not an ordinary person, but a tyrant who has been able to scheming with the emperor for more than twenty years.
Sui Qing went to stop the Suzaku group, but he didn't expect that his opponent's target would be Ning Weimo.
Because no matter how you look at it, Ning Weimo is not the very important one.
Tuoba Lie was afraid of Lin Ye, who had now become a general. He had already started recruiting troops in Guzhu and would become more powerful in the future.
There is no such incompatible opposition between Ning Weimo and Tuoba Lie.
However, a group of men in black broke into Lord Jinglue's house and killed all the guards and servants.
These people struck hard, moved quickly, and cooperated tacitly.
Ning Weimo was not among the corpses. It is conceivable that he was taken away. Salang, who was responsible for helping to keep an eye on the Jinglue Mansion, also disappeared. He probably discovered something and followed him without even leaving any news. .
Small courtyard.
Sui Qing went to stand in front of Mr. Qian. He didn't want to see Mr. Qian, not because there was any conflict between the two people.
But he felt that this old man's character was at odds with his own.
The old man was always good at planning, and he was always straightforward in his actions.
"It was my fault."
Sui Qing went and said, "I knew that the Vermillion Bird Team was coming, but I didn't expect that the Qinglong Team would also come. That team was supposed to stay with Tuoba Lie and not be sent out."
Mr. Qian nodded: "It's my fault. I only focused on plotting against Tuoba Lie and forgot about Wanyu Tower."
There is no irreconcilable opposition between Tuoba Lie and Ning Weimo, but there is in Wanyu Tower.
That old man really didn't want to delegate power.
He was the one caught between the two major forces, but he was ignored.
"Why were they captured instead of killed directly?"
Sui Qing looked at Master Qian.
Mr. Qian shook his head: "I haven't thought about why yet."
This is very strange and makes absolutely no sense.
Regardless of whether it was Tuoba Lie or Wanyulou, since they had taken action, there was no need to capture Ning Weimo alive and leave. Wouldn't it be better to just kill him?
"I'll check it out."
Sui Qing turned around and left.
Master Qian said: "You can't go. The emperor is about to come to Yangzi City. If Tuoba Lie is ready to rebel, he must have made arrangements in Yangzi City. He can have people block the emperor's news and prevent the people of Dayu from knowing it. , but he would rather the emperor die here, the sooner the better."
Sui Qing went silent.
Master Qian said: "You and Salang are not very familiar with each other. I will go check on this matter. You stay in Yangzicheng and help Lin Ye."
Sui Qing nodded: "Okay."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out. When he reached the door of the small courtyard, he stopped, looked back at Master Qian and said, "You are already very old, over a hundred years old. You have lived for such a long time. Don't die so casually."
Mr. Qian was stunned for a moment, and his eyes brightened after a moment.
Sui Qing strode away.
Mr. Qian thought, that little guy can't speak, and neither can you. It's really indescribable.
He was not in a hurry to investigate the disappearance of Salang and Ning Weimo. He needed to sort it out carefully.
Sitting on that recliner, the more he thought, the deeper his frown became.
Tuoba Lie secretly colluded with the Lord of Guzhu, so there shouldn't be any surprises in this matter.
Therefore, Tuoba Lie must have been prepared in Yangzi City, and there may be more masters hiding there than imagined.
The only reasonable explanation for Ning Weimo being taken away is that Tuoba Lie's people wanted to interrogate Ning Weimo.
I wanted to ask Ning Weimo if the emperor had any plans.
"Old rival...you are still so scary."
Mr. Qian muttered to himself.
He has never underestimated Tuoba Lie. Over the years, he has cooperated with Tuoba Lie just to deceive Tuoba Lie's trust.
He succeeded, but not completely.
Because the longer he spent with Tuoba Lie, the more he understood that Tuoba Lie actually didn't believe anyone.
Back then, Tuoba Lie killed two of Master Qian's disciples, one was Liu Jigong and the other was Yan Beisheng.
In order to avenge Liu Jigong, Yan Beisheng was deceived by Tuoba Lie and went to Yunzhou to found the Chaoxin Sect.
Lord Qian later appeared next to Tuoba Lie, also pretending to be sure that both Liu Jigong and Yan Beisheng were murdered by the emperor, so that he could gain Tuoba Lie's trust.
"You're thinking, where did you lose?"
At this moment, someone suddenly spoke behind Mr. Qian.
Mr. Qian was shocked.
I was so focused on thinking just now that I didn't notice someone approaching not far behind me.
"Don't think too much."
The person behind him smiled and said: "You didn't notice me coming, not because you were deep in thought, but because you were old."
Mr. Qian turned around.
The man in black robes was standing about two feet away behind him. He was so close to this distance without realizing it, and Master Qian felt a little sad in his heart.
"After all, there are no people who practice Taoism in this world. The highest level of martial arts training is only a few years longer than ordinary people. It is impossible to get stronger with age as rumored."
When the man in black robe and Master Qian said this, there was no sarcasm at all, and they were even full of sympathy.
The man in black robe said: "In those stories about cultivating Taoism and immortality, old guys who are one or two hundred years old are scary. But in fact, you are more than a hundred years old and you don't even have 30% of the strength you had at your peak."
Mr. Qian nodded: "You are right. Thirty percent is indeed gone. Otherwise, how could you dare to come to me in person?"
The man in black robe lifted his hat back. If anyone else saw this face at this time, they would be shocked and speechless.
"Shall I come in person?"
The man in black robe sighed: "As you age, not only your martial arts skills decline, but you also become stupid and slow."
Mr. Qian's eyes gradually widened, because the man in front of him, who was wearing a black robe and looked exactly like Tuoba Lie, was not actually Tuoba Lie.
The man in black robe said: "What is your intention? The general has already seen through it. He saw through it back then. He kept you, but the general thought he could use you."
Master Qian suddenly sneered: "It turns out that he was so afraid of death that he even had a substitute."
The man in black robe said: "This is not because he is afraid of death. The general wants to plot the world. What's wrong with making more preparations?"
Not only is his appearance so similar, but his tone of voice is almost indistinguishable from Tuoba Lie.
The man in black robe said: "From the beginning, I was the one who contacted you and met you."
He said: "I am the one who sends you away in the end. This is probably what people often say: a person must have a beginning and an end."
Mr. Qian smiled and stood up: "Then give it a try?"
The man in black robe stepped forward: "I will give you a ride on behalf of the general. The general has an explanation, saying that he respects you, so he will let you die with dignity."
