Cheng Liao knew that the siege would naturally start during the day, not at night, but in the morning!

That's the best time to attack a city!

But the Qingchuan Army has not come yet, which means that they will not come!

At least today...

Won't come!

"Why? How did this happen?"

Cheng Liao couldn't help but ask.

"Didn't you read yesterday's letter? Why do you still have questions?" Wang Yuan said with a smile.

"Although I saw it,... is it just because he... is conceited and talented and wants to compete with you?"

That's all Cheng Liao could think of. Apart from that, he couldn't think of anything else.

Wang Yuan smiled, looked at Cheng Liao, and said calmly.

"Do you really want to hear the truth?"

Wang Yuan glanced at Cheng Liao with a half-smile, and after saying this, he was stunned for a moment.

"This is natural."

Cheng Liao said directly.

"Since you want to listen, then sit down and I'll tell you."

After Wang Yuan finished speaking, Cheng Liao took a deep breath, but still sat across from Wang Yuan and listened carefully.

"You've heard what I'm going to say today. If you want to talk about it, just say it. I don't care. I'm telling you because... maybe I can't hide it anymore."

After Wang Yuan said this, Cheng Liao was stunned for a moment.

He didn't understand what Wang Yuan's words meant.

"Mr. Wang Yuan, please tell me." At this time, Cheng Liao asked curiously.

Wang Yuan took a deep breath and said slowly: "Let me talk about the first point first, which is our great cause. Although when I say this, you may think that I disrespect the imperial court and lack a sense of awe, but I still want to tell you that today's The great cause is like a sieve. What you can see and what you can't see are spies from all over the world. If the great cause continues like this, the country will be destroyed. Can you believe it?"

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Liao's heart skipped a beat. He had always been scheming and had a long-term view, so he naturally knew what the great cause of today was like.

But he didn't speak.

Wang Yuan smiled and said again: "With such a great cause, internal strife is too serious, loyal ministers have died in vain, and traitors are rampant. There is a risk of destroying the country. You don't say it, but you know it in your heart."

"The second point is about me. The Right Chancellor asked you to deal with me. Obviously, he knows who I am. I am not boasting, nor am I any unique genius. I just know a little more than you do."

"As you can see, I have never cared about the court's attitude towards me, because I am not a person who likes power. I just want to live my life in a leisurely way and be a rich man."

"But... just because he can't see it doesn't mean others can't see it."

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Liao naturally still didn't understand Wang Yuan's meaning.

He thought that what Wang Yuan was talking about was only within the industry and could not be seen by the emperor, but others could see the truth.

"I'm not talking about the great cause, but the outside world. Do you know what the situation today is for?"

Wang Yuan asked again, which made Cheng Liao stunned for a moment. To be honest, he didn't know what it was for.

"I can tell you, this is all for me!"

As soon as Wang Yuan said these words, Cheng Liao was dumbfounded on the spot!

"What! For you!"

Cheng Liao didn't believe that Huang Yan would make such a big move for Wang Yuan!

Even at the expense of Zheng Taiqing, a man in power!

"You may not believe it, but I didn't lie to you. Otherwise, why would Cheng Liao raise his troops? Also, Huang Yan wouldn't do these actions. I think there will be a war on the border soon. Huang Yan will use two pronged measures. In the end, for Let me be loyal to Huang Yan, and they will force Daye to hand me over."

Wang Yuan's guess is certainly not nonsense.

From Huang Jiaojiao's words, he already understood the answer!

He can even think about what his fate will be!

How could Daye fall out with Huang Yan because of himself?

Hearing this, Cheng Liao was moved and couldn't believe it.

However, what Wang Yuan said left him with no reason to refute. Thinking about it this way, he could also guess that there were so many strange things, and all of them might be...

Really!

"I know my fate. Daye will not protect me, but I still have to protect Chengzhou because... I also want to save my life!"

After Wang Yuan said this, Cheng Liao frowned.

"Since you said...it's for you, then why do you still defend? Wouldn't it be better to surrender and settle in Huangyan?"

Cheng Liao's words made Wang Yuan laugh immediately.

"Let's not talk about it. I personally don't want to be loyal to Huang Yan. I have no ambition. If I do this, I will definitely die."

"Ah? Why?" Cheng Liao didn't understand what the reason was.

"It's very simple. The stronger I am, the more Ayan will cherish me. If I am so weak, maybe they will be disappointed. Once disappointed, I will definitely die."

After Wang Yuan said this, Cheng Liao suddenly understood and looked shocked!

"Now let's get back to the challenge. In fact, I won't tell you. You can make a rough guess, but you still can't make a complete guess."

After Wang Yuan finished speaking, Cheng Liao took a deep breath and nodded.

"If what you said before is true, then what Zheng Taiqing wants to do is to really compete with you. After all... he has been able to lurk for many years and is capable. Now that he has the opportunity to return to Huangyan, he naturally wants to To be in a high and powerful position.”

"And defeating you, defeating someone whom Huang Yan values ​​​​very much, can better demonstrate his ability. Am I right?"

After Cheng Liao finished speaking, Wang Yuan nodded, but still said.

"and also……"

Cheng Liao took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and spoke again: "If there's anything else, it's because he wants to see if you have this ability, because he... doesn't believe it! He's conceited... and is interested in what you said. ,Right?"

Wang Yuan still nodded, but continued: "There is a third point, can you see it?"

Hearing this, Cheng Liao was stunned for a moment.

"There is a third point, this...I can't think of it..."

Wang Yuan smiled, "Zheng Taiqing is a smart man. He is conceited, so he is not afraid of me. He wants to defeat me and show off himself."

"Similarly, he is interested in what I say and wants to know my abilities. After all, he is from Huang Yan. If I really have this ability, he will admire me even more and hope that I will work for Huang Yan."

"From the fact that he has been lurking here for many years, his loyalty to Huang Yan can be seen from the sun and the moon. Therefore, it is natural to hope that a capable person like me will be loyal to Huang Yan. This can also be seen from Huang Yan's court situation. , is much cleaner than Daye... and causes less internal friction. At least externally... they still have the same mindset!"

"As for the most critical point, it's very simple..."

"The condition he agreed to was to show me... his goodwill!"

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Liao was stunned on the spot!
