Wen Boyu looked up, and there was no trace of Yan Jidao in the heavy snow.
After a while, Nian Chengfeng walked out of the room, walked into the pavilion, and sat opposite Wen Boyu.
"Are you really not worried about Xiaowan?"
Wen Boyu withdrew his gaze and poured a cup of tea for Nian Chengfeng, "Worry!"
"Since you are worried, why let her go to Zhouzhuang to meet Xiaoqin?"
"Xiaoqin doesn't need her to respond."
"..."
Nian Chengfeng frowned, "Then what do you mean?"
Wen Boyu sighed suddenly, shook his head and laughed at himself: "Female university... I won't stay!"
"Prince Regent? You clearly know that this is most likely a cup of bitter wine!"
"Of course I know, but what can I do?"
Wen Zhuiyu picked up the tea cup and looked at the heavy snow outside.
"I may be able to govern a country, or I may be able to bring chaos to a country. I may even be able to lead troops to fight, pull up my trousers to farm, and cook a table of top-quality delicacies."
"But when it comes to the word love and the matter of love, I am a loser."
"I haven't dealt with my emotional affairs well, and I can't control the fact that she is deeply in love now."
"She has a similar personality to her mother. She is extremely stubborn. She may not say anything on the surface, but in her heart she may not know how to give in."
Nian Chengfeng stroked his long beard and frowned slightly. He knew Wen Xiaowan's mother.
She is the seventh princess of the Huihe Chief, Ye Luoge Babu, and Wen Boiyu gave her the Chinese name Ye Wan.
She once came to Ningguo with Wen Boyu, but for some reason she returned to Huihe after giving birth to Wen Xiaowan and never came again.
But since then, Uighur has never launched a war against Ningguo.
Wen Boiyu was silent for a moment, seeming to be recalling that unspeakable relationship. After a while, he said again:
"Xiaowan is resentful of me."
"It's not her fault."
"I'm afraid that the seeds of resentment were buried in her heart from the day her mother left Ning Guo..."
"After much thought, I realized that this was not a problem after all, so I asked Yang Sixian to burn down the Zhuyu Xiaozhu. In this way, she would never be able to find any trace of her mother's existence."
"At that time, she was less than three years old."
"I sent her to Shang Di, hoping that Shang Di could change the resentment in her heart."
"It seems that there are still some changes. At least she came to see me, but it was all about Li Chenan. This explains a lot."
"I just realized that she has grown up and already has love in her heart."
"Although I know that this matter is difficult to solve, as a father, I have to do something for her."
Nian Chengfeng pondered for a moment, "Is this why you told Li Chenan those Jianghu stories?"
"Have you ever thought about what if something happens to him...!"
"No, isn't Yan Jidao gone?"
Wen Zhuiyu took a sip of tea and put down the cup, "Chang Sun Hongyi is on his way back to the capital with three thousand Yufeng Guards. I asked Wang Zheng Jinzhong to go there in person."
"He will take the three thousand wind guards to Zhouzhuang."
"Also, is the Qing Gang led by my senior brother behind the scenes?"
"If so, the Green Gang will go to Zhouzhuang, and he will probably go too... If he goes, if Li Chenan's identity is exposed, the Green Gang will not take action against Li Chenan. On the contrary, I am afraid they will protect Li Chenan."
"With the Qing Gang, Yan Jidao, and the three thousand Yufeng Guards led by Wang Zheng Jinzhong and Chang Sun Hongyi... no one can kill him!"
Nian Chengfeng shook his head and said seriously: "This is your guess after all!"
"What if Changsun Hongyi and Yufengwei fail to arrive at Zhouzhuang in time?"
"Although Yan Jidao is a great master, no matter how great a great master is, it is very likely that he will fail when facing countless masters."
"As for the Qing Gang...after all, he is a member of the Fish and Dragon Society at heart. They and Li Chen'an may have an sworn hatred! Then they may not necessarily be restrained by him!"
"What's more... there are dragons and crouching tigers in Zhouzhuang, and there are only about a hundred people around Li Chenan... If Zhouzhuang is really related to the man in the palace, this is the best opportunity to kill Li Chenan!"
"I think it's wrong for you to do this for your daughter!"
Wen Boyu did not argue.
He raised his eyes to look at Nian Chengfeng and suddenly smiled: "Didn't the regent say something before he left Kyoto?"
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs."
"Although he is in the Jianghu, the Jianghu is under the control of the temple after all!"
“For the strategist, there is never really a surefire plan.”
"If you can get five points, you can execute it!"
"I'm not just doing it for my daughter, I'm doing it for this crumbling country!"
Nian Chengfeng was silent for a long time.
Suddenly he asked: "The rats in the south of the Yangtze River are now like trapped animals."
"The trapped beast still fights... He is in the south of the Yangtze River. If he is surrounded, what will happen?"
…
…
Jiangnan Road.
Pingjiang City.
This is the most populous and prosperous city in the entire Jiangnan.
Just in the Xifu Alley of Pingjiang City, there is an extremely luxurious mansion.
It is the current residence of Yu Wanzhi in Jiangnan Daotai.
On the fourth day of the first lunar month in the 24th year of Zhaohua, heavy snow began to fall in Pingjiang City and the sun was shining brightly.
However, in the Xiaofeng Pavilion in the back garden of Yu Mansion, even though four charcoal stoves were burning and eight people were sitting around it, they did not seem to feel any warmth.
Yu Wanzhi, who was sitting on the main seat, poured them a cup of tea. He sat up straight, with a very serious expression on his thin face.
"Two months have passed in the blink of an eye since the changes in Kyoto."
"Prime Minister Ji was completely defeated, and the fool who left Guangling City turned out to be the biggest winner!"
Yu Wanzhi's gaze swept across the seven people's faces like a sharp knife, and then said:
"We are all members of Prime Minister Ji's family. Now that Prime Minister Ji's body is cold, all those former comrades in the palace...were all bloodbathed by that Li Chen'an."
"Do you think that after that, he stopped taking action and didn't attack any officials from one state or another? Was it because he had no one available? Was it because he took the overall situation into consideration? Was it because he wanted to give you a chance to change your mind?"
Yu Wanzhi paused for a moment, then suddenly his expression became fierce, and he punched the table with his fist, making a muffled sound of "Bang!", which hit the hearts of the other seven people like a heavy hammer.
"childish!"
"Are your hands clean?"
"Is that grandson Jinghong of the Imperial City Department blind?"
"You have all been to Kyoto. Don't you know that the black building contains all evidence of your crimes?"
He stood up suddenly, stretched out his hand and gestured: "The black building has eight floors!"
"That's the place Ji Xiang thought of many ways to burn down!"
"I'm telling you, I'm afraid that how many houses you have bought outside, how many concubines you have raised, how many illegitimate children you have... even how many times you go out to court every day, there are records there!"
"He's more than just a regent!"
"He is also the promotion master of the Imperial City Department!"
"It's the Lord of Hell!"
Yu Wanzhi's voice suddenly became louder. He raised his hand to the sky and shouted at the seven people:
"We in Ningguo no longer have an emperor!"
"His name is the regent, but he is actually the emperor of Ningguo!"
"Will he let you and me live?"
"Won't!"
"He is just trying to reassure you. He just doesn't want us to be the first to cause trouble!"
"He wants to take advantage of this chance of you getting lucky... to catch you and me in one fell swoop!"
Yu Wanzhi sat down again, drank a cup of tea, calmed down his excitement, and looked at the seven people again.
"A fool can become the regent. Do you really think it's his destiny?"
"I tell you, he is the most dangerous person I have ever heard of in my life!"
"If we don't do something, in the entire Jiangnan officialdom, starting from me to the lowest officials... I'm afraid not many people will be able to survive!"
"Don't think that I don't know what you are doing down there. I just turn a blind eye."
"Now he's here."
"We set off from Guangling City on the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year. We can't let him come to Pingjiang..."
"He must pass through Feng County!"
"Then let him die in Feng County!"
"If he dies, we can live."
"I came to you not to ask for your efforts, but to ask for money. I have ordered Governor Song Shiming to mobilize soldiers from various states to Feng County."
"I even invited a master of martial arts to take his life!"
"This all requires money."
"I offer five million taels!"
"The Shang family has also paid out five million taels!"
"Each of you spend two million taels to buy his life and yours too!"
Yu Wanzhi stroked his long beard and his eyes slowly swept across the faces of the seven people:
"I've finished talking, who agrees? Who opposes?"
