Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 132

Chapter 132 The Truth Was Revealed
After leaving the living room, Qin Mubai silently walked towards the entrance of the palace, but he was thinking quickly in his heart.

Dao Sect Li, could it be that he doesn’t know what’s good for him? I took the risk to warn him, and he threw me out just like that? … No, what he said just now was very problematic!

“This king is already familiar with it, so why bother to look at it again?” He rolled his eyes roughly just now, could it be that he could not forget it? !

Qin Mubai’s heart lit up as she turned to look at Chen Yan, who was walking beside her. The light in her eyes was sharp and sharp, causing Chen Yan to feel somewhat uncomfortable.

“Why are you looking at me like this?” Chen Yan scolded in a low voice.

“Actually, I should have figured out something … I’m so stupid!” Qin Mubai shook his head and sighed.

“How do you explain this?” Chen Yan frowned slightly and asked.

“You should know better than me in your heart, so why bother to tear it apart?” Qin Mubai laughed contemptuously and strode forward.

Chen Yan’s delicate body trembled slightly. She bit her lips in embarrassment and anger as she stood there for a long time, then turned around and walked towards the hall.

Dao Sect Li sat upright, as if he was waiting for Chen Yan to return. Seeing her walk over, he did not say anything but only smiled. The corners of his eyes wrinkled into a few crow’s tails, but his eyes were much softer than before. There was also a hint of love and ridicule in them.

“Your Highness … you’ve wronged me this time!” Chen Yan walked forward, stomped her feet, and said sullenly.

“What’s wrong, Yan’er? Was it exposed by that kid Qin Mubai?” Li Daozong laughed heartily. He walked forward and patted Chen Yan’s shoulder gently. “Forget it! In any case, paper can’t wrap fire. Let him know that it’s the same long ago. This king can tell that this Qin Mubai is a talented person with intelligence, intelligence, and quick thinking. Even the slightest trace of it can’t escape his eyes.”

“Didn’t you intentionally reveal the truth to him?” Chen Yan, who had always been as cold as ice, actually twitched her lips and acted like a little woman. “Why did you tell him just now that you already knew the books well in your chest?”

“If I didn’t say that, how would he go back to Li Ke to hand in his assignment?” Li Daozong chuckled and said, “He is a smart man. He must know what I mean. Without delay, I will immediately leave for Chang’an to meet His Majesty. Yan’er, this time you have truly made a great contribution. This King’s reputation was almost destroyed by Zhang Tianci’s demons. Thank you so much!”

“Let’s see if you’re greedy in the future!” Chen Yan glared at Li Daozong angrily.

“Alright, alright, alright. This king will immediately order us to scatter all our family resources to relieve the calamity and release the grain, alright? First, it can be considered my regret. Second, it will be easier for me to go to the Emperor’s place to plead for forgiveness!” Dao Sect Li said.

“Alright, hurry up and leave for Chang’an. It’s too late!” Chen Yan gently tugged at Li Daozong’s sleeves and said, “When we left this morning, I heard them say that the emperor’s imperial decree might have been issued. Perhaps it’s already on its way. You can hurry to Chang’an as soon as possible.”

“Don’t worry, this king’s Cyan Jade Snow Hoof Horse travels thousands of miles every day. It will arrive in Chang’an in an instant.” Li Daozong looked at Chen Yan and nodded with a smile. He even reached out to stroke her head and said, “Yan’er, wandering around in Jianghu is not a serious matter for a girl like you. Why don’t you find a good husband to marry earlier?”

“Quickly stop talking. You can leave for Chang’an!” Chen Yan blushed and hurriedly urged.

“I think this Qin Mubai is not bad …”

“Besides, I’ll ignore you in the future!”

“Alright, let’s not talk anymore!” Dao Sect Li laughed heartily, “Good daughter, go for father!”

…

Qin Mubai returned to the inn, and a few of the Baiji soldiers accompanying him were waiting for him in the room. Seeing him return alone, they were all a little surprised and asked, “General, why hasn’t Chen Yan come?”

“She should stay in the palace as a guest, right? I don’t know either.” Qin Mubai casually threw out a sentence and rolled over on the bed. “Everyone must be exhausted. They should go back to their rooms to rest. After waking up, we should eat and drink. We’ll hurry back to Jishan.”

“Yes, General.” The soldiers didn’t dare to say anything else and left the room to rest.

Qin Mubai heaved a long sigh as he held the back of his head with both hands. He couldn’t help but sigh, “Officials and Jianghu are alike. The hearts of people are separated by their bellies.” I never expected that this Chen Yan would always have something to hide from me. Actually, I’m really stupid. I should have thought that she would show the account book to Li Daozong first. “Zhu Chengwen died because of Dao Sect Li, leaving behind a last word to protect Dao Sect Li … If I were Chen Yan, I would definitely go to see Dao Sect Li immediately with my ledger!”

“Then, under the guidance of the Li Dao Sect, Chen Yan did a number of things. Including her sneaking into our midst and inquiring about Li Ke and I’s intentions and attitudes, she was actually trying to pry into the Emperor’s intentions. Afterwards, she went to assassinate Zhang Tianci … The ledger was in her hands, and once Zhang Tianci died, there would be no evidence to prove that he could not be traced back to the Li Dao Sect. “Furthermore, even if the assassination fails, we can still alert the enemy and discover the true intentions and positions of our faction!”

“Amazing, Li Daozong! He knew that Li Ke and I were sent by the Emperor, but he didn’t understand what the Emperor was trying to do. With these repeated spies and my trip to the palace today, he knows everything like the back of his hand. On the one hand, he knew that the case had been investigated by us and it was impossible for him to deny it. Secondly, he understood that Li Ke and I were willing to help him. “Thirdly, he understood that the emperor wanted to borrow Jishan Mountain to relieve the disaster and appease the people. He investigated the corrupt officials’ group to remove the roots, and intentionally knocked on the mountains and shook the tigers of Jiang Xia King to give him a wake-up call!”

“This is actually a game between the emperor and the king of jiangxia! Everyone else was chess pieces! That’s why he didn’t accept my kindness today and immediately kicked me away. On the surface, he was extremely impolite to me, but in reality, he was expressing gratitude to me and Li Ke and his intention to protect them. Because we secretly helped him by using public and private means like this, it is equivalent to malfeasance, and there is a suspicion of deceiving the emperor, if the accusation is spread, it can be big or small. As expected, he would immediately leave for Chang’an and take the initiative to apologize to the Emperor … What a thorough plan! Dao Sect Li was truly extraordinary! He had been hiding behind the scenes and hadn’t made a move, yet he had completely taken control of the entire situation. Also, Chen Yan was a powerful woman. After spending so much time with her, she really didn’t know which of her words were true or false, and what kind of relationship it had with the King of Jiangxia. “It seems that everything she said is already suspicious.”

After thinking so much, Qin Mubai did not feel a little distracted. He stretched out his limbs and said with a long sigh, “I don’t want to. Sleep! Anyway, everything has been taken care of. It’s useless to think about it!”

Half an hour later, Chen Yan walked into the inn. She was dressed in black with a sword fiend in hand, and everyone in the inn was paying her a respectful salute. She walked straight to the guest room on the second floor and saw two Baiji soldiers standing outside the guest room.

Seeing Chen Yan walk over, the two hundred cavalry exchanged glances, puzzled in their hearts. Because just now Qin Mubai said that Chen Yan might have stayed in the Jiang Xia King’s mansion as a guest … Then it’s strange that the Hundred Cavalry Emissaries didn’t stay, but she, Chen Yan, stayed?

“Where’s your general?” Chen Yan walked forward and asked coldly as usual.

“The general is asleep. You can go back to your room and rest.” The pawn replied stiffly.

“I have something to tell him.”

“It’s not too late. The general is tired. Please don’t disturb him.”

“Get out of the way!” Chen Yan scolded in a low voice.

“Let her in!” Qin Mubai’s voice came from inside. The two Baiji soldiers had no choice but to move aside and let her in.

Chen Yan pushed open the door and glared at the two Hundred Cavalry when she entered, “You guys go away!”

The two Baiji laughed strangely at the same time and obediently walked away. Looking at their expressions, it was as if they were saying, “Lone men and widows … what good do you have to do?”

Chen Yan didn’t care about so much anymore. She dodged in and closed the door, placing her sword on the table. She also heaved a long sigh of relief.

Qin Mubai lay on the bed with his hands behind his head and pillows, closing his eyes to recuperate. Chen Yan glanced at him, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment. She didn’t know where to start this topic.

After all, he was the one who deceived him and concealed too many things from him.

Qin Mubai lay with his eyes closed and didn’t say anything, treating her as if she was air.

After sitting for a long time, Chen Yan was both embarrassed and annoyed. She simply said, “I have already shown the account book to the King of Jiangxia. At that time, the King of Jiangxia was prepared to personally take care of Zhang Tianci and then go to the Emperor to plead guilty.” Coincidentally, you and Li Ke arrived at Jishan at the Emperor’s command at that time. The Emperor of Jiangxia did not know what the Emperor was doing, so he sent me to your side to inquire about the news. Actually, there was no malice. At that time, when I saw that you were extremely close to Zhang Tianci, I was afraid that Zhang Tianci would bite back and blame the Jiang Xia King at this time, so I took the risk of assassinating him. That’s what happened! ”

After she finished speaking, Qin Mubai remained motionless, lying on the bed as if he had fallen asleep.

“I didn’t lie to you about my relationship with Zhu Chengwen. I didn’t know the King of Jiangxia before I came to Jishan! It was after Zhu Chengwen’s death that I took the ledger to see His Highness. He was greatly saddened and took me as his adopted daughter.” Chen Yan said to herself as if she was singing a solo play, “I didn’t mean to hide this from you either. It’s just that I didn’t know who the enemy was, especially your attitude towards the King of Jiangxia, so I didn’t dare to miss his big event.” As you said, if there is a conflict and suspicion between the Jiang Xia King and the Emperor, it will be the biggest trouble. So I had to be cautious. Only after you’ve seen the Jiang Xia King show him his intentions and personally show him the ledger can I completely trust you. You are a smart person, you should be able to understand my feelings. “If it was you, you would do the same, right?”

Qin Mubai remained silent and even let out a low snoring sound, as if he had really fallen asleep.

“Little man! Narrow-minded!” Chen Yan cursed angrily and stood up to leave.

“Remember to close the door!” Qin Mubai said behind her, “Your room is next door to mine. If you haven’t eaten, just tell the waiter.”

For a moment, Chen Yan did not know whether to be angry or laugh, so she spat, “Pretend to be dead!” He pushed the door open and walked out.

At this moment, she felt as if all the burdens on her body had been instantly removed, and her entire body was lighter.

After letting out a long sigh of relief, Chen Yan pushed open her room door and walked in. She sat down on the bed and silently pondered, “Zhu Chengwen, you and I are destined to be destined to have no part in each other. Now, we are separated by Yin and Yang.” I have already fulfilled your last wish. If there is an afterlife … we are destined to meet again!
