The loyal minister was forced to marry the traitor

Under the gazes of Bai Yan and Huai Chun, Prince Nanyi narrated all the previous events.

According to him, after Xiao Jiuqin pacified Beidi, Nanyi feared that the war in Daliang would spread to Nanyi, so he brought people to Yingdu with the hope of his people, but he didn't expect that the wizard had already done so before him. Arrived in Daliang, and suddenly became the guest of Emperor Daliang.

Emperor Daliang wanted to live forever, so the so-called Taoist priests were just wizards wearing a fake skin. He learned some medicine refining skills from the previous generation of wizards, and some medicinal herbs in Nanyi were very beneficial to people, so he won the title of emperor. blue eyes.

Especially in the beginning, because the emperor took the elixir he refined, he was extraordinarily vigorous/violent in a certain way, and he favored many concubines in those days.

The emperor is probably like this. Once he is strong in love, he feels that his health has improved a lot, so he has extra trust in this Taoist priest.

Later, the emperor wanted to live forever, but he found out.

With his status as a Taoist priest, he was reused by the emperor step by step, so as to achieve his original goal.

He hated Nanyi, and he did not hesitate to mention the evils of Nanyi intentionally or unintentionally in front of the emperor. At the same time, he also wanted to get more, so with the emperor's unconscious support, he was gradually able to speak about Nanyi.Not only that, but the power of his subordinates gradually penetrated into all parts of Yingdu.

If Prince Nanyi hadn't arrived, he might not have carried out his plan in such a hurry.

The arrival of Prince Nanyi undoubtedly put his identity in danger of being exposed, so he tried to get Prince Nanyi to be beheaded outside Yingdu, but what he didn't expect was that Prince Nanyi was so fateful that he fled into the palace in a hurry. Ying Du was also rescued by Bai Yan.

Bai Yan's eyes turned to him to save the national teacher, the prince of Nanyi can't live, at least he can't have too much contact with Bai Yan.

Everyone knows Bai Yan's cleverness. The national teacher didn't care about this person at first, but it was the emperor who tested Yun Zhong when the emperor gave him the marriage. It fell into the eyes of the national teacher.

Smart people never live long.

This is especially true for smart people who are both smart and weak.

The national teacher has a calculation in his heart.

On the other hand, with the changing situation in Yingdu, Bai Yan and Xiao Jiuqin inevitably entered the public eye.

And at that time, Huai Chun was also designing Bai Yan, so at this stall, the national teacher and Yun Zhong both saw this opportunity.

It's just that later things were out of their control. First, Xiao Jiuqin married Bai Yan, then Xiao Jiuqin took Bai Yan's place on the charge of collaborating with the enemy, and then Beidi suddenly raised troops, which gave Xiao Jiuqin the opportunity to leave Northern Xinjiang.

It was at this time that Yun Zhong discovered the clue, the so-called national teacher and Nanyi had some inexplicable ties, so Yun Zhong immediately went to the national teacher.

The national teacher panicked immediately.

The emperor was very suspicious. Once he knew that the national teacher he trusted was actually a wizard from Nanyi, then the only thing waiting for the national teacher at that time was death.

Yun Zhong's threat directly hit the mind of the national teacher, although he didn't want to be controlled by Grand Master Yun, but he had to collude with him.

So in the end the two formed a short-term alliance, but they never expected that when they laid down the net, Huai Chun seemed to have discovered something. In the hands of Bai Yan, he tried every means to send someone to send Bai Yan out.

This change made both Yunzhong and the national teacher face an unprecedented crisis.

As far as the national teacher was concerned, he wanted Prince Nanyi to die, and he wanted Yun Zhong to keep this secret forever for him, but after Xiao Jiuqin was exonerated, Prince Nanyi disappeared.

This has undoubtedly become a crisis that may erupt at any time in the future.

As for Grand Master Yun, Bai Yan left with a blank imperial decree, and was bound to unite with Xiao Jiuqin. Once he met Xiao Jiuqing, as long as Wei Chengju joined forces, then Xiao Jiuqin could immediately take the side of the Qing emperor and punish him. The reason for killing the rebels was to bring the army back to Yingdu.

They have different thoughts, but they have the same goal, that is, whether it is Xiao Jiu, Qin Baiyan or Prince Nanyi, they cannot show up in Yingdu alive.

"So you were discovered by Yun Zhong at the beginning, and you were also taken away by him later?"

During that time, Bai Yan was busy getting married with Xiao Jiuqin, and later Xiao Jiuqin took the blame for him. He didn't care about investigating the Nanyi prince at all, so he lost the chance to get the truth at that time.

Prince Nanyi nodded, "Yes, I was locked in a secret room in the mansion by Grand Master Yun. There were people guarding me outside and I couldn't escape at all, and some people wanted to get information about the national teacher from me several times. I know they None of them are good things, so I just kept silent. Yun Zhong wanted to kill me, but maybe it was because he wanted to use me to threaten the national teacher, so in the end he just let me be guarded."

"Then how did you escape?" Bai Yan couldn't imagine that he could escape from Yunzhong's secret room by himself.

"There was a group of men in black who killed the guards outside and took me away. But later Yun Zhong's people found out that they were fighting. I took the opportunity to escape, but I was afraid that I would not be able to get out of the city, so I fled here in the end. .”

"They will definitely not let you go easily, so they must have sent many people to look for you afterwards, and you..." Bai Yan suddenly thought of something, "And you happened to find a secret passage, because of that symbol?"

Prince Nanyi nodded.

He managed to save his life after narrowly escaping from death, and he still has lingering fears when he talks about this matter now.

When he said this, he couldn't help but think of the man in black, "I don't know who is going to save me, but if it wasn't for him, I'm afraid I would have fallen into the hands of the national teacher by now."

He also knew that once he fell into the hands of the national teacher, waiting for his result, there would be only one death.

"It's Huai Chun." Bai Yan was silent for a while before he figured it out. He turned his head to look at the person behind him.

Huai Chun's expression was light, and he met his gaze.

Bai Yan guessed right, when they were not around, he was the only one who could snatch Prince Nanyi from Yun Zhong's hands.

"At first, I just wanted to know the secrets of Prince Nanyi. Why did Yun Zhong and the national teacher have a hand in it?"

Moreover, it is related to the battle for the throne, Huai Chun can't tolerate the slightest mistakes and omissions, he wanted to take the Nanyi prince into his hands, so as to understand his hidden truth, but he didn't expect that he would be rescued, but let him run away , and neither he nor Yun Zhong and the national teacher could find out about the secret channel.

Now that he has reached this point, Bai Yan has nothing to hide. He also told about the matter of pretending to be the Nanyi prince, Huai Chun and Nanyi prince's expressions changed slightly.

"You said he intentionally harmed Xiao Jiuqin?" Huai Chun suddenly became confused again.

If Grand Master Yun wanted to frame Bai Yan and Xiao Jiuqin, he could use other methods. After all, Bai Yan fled with the imperial decree, and Xiao Jiuqin was also guilty of covering up.

But the fact is that the real Nanyi prince has escaped, so why does he insist on making a fake one?

Bai Yan shook his head, and recounted the scene of that day, and at the end he emphasized one more sentence: "The scent that day made Xiao Jiuqin lose his mind, and it almost hurt his body afterwards."

"Smell?" Prince Nanyi froze, "Is this the smell?" He suddenly took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve, took out the stopper and wanted to let Bai Yan smell it, but Bai Yan resisted a little, and really didn't dare to approach this thing.Nanyi's stuff is kind of evil.

Prince Nanyi reassured him, "As long as there is no other thing, it won't affect your body if you smell it."

Bai Yan was skeptical, so he leaned closer and sniffed lightly, and it really was that smell.

"This stuff is actually not very precious in Nanyi, but most people don't know that this scent is very harmful to people when paired with another thing, and it is usually used by Nanyi wizards to paralyze livestock before offering sacrifices."

Things used by animals were used on humans, how could it be possible, so Xiao Jiuqin's reaction that day was not too surprising, but Bai Yan was a little more puzzled after hearing this.

"Since Prince Nanyi has already escaped, why did they insist on creating a fake Prince Nanyi, and why did they insist on risking Xiao Jiuqin's death?"

Huai Chun frowned: "I'm afraid that Yun Zhong didn't know about this matter, but the master of the state teacher made it up himself."

"Don't forget who Xiao Jiuqin is, and who the Nanyi prince is. One is the bravest general in Daliang, and the other is the noble prince of Nanyi. If something happens to the two of them, it will delay the battle. In the end, the emperor got angry, and it must be Nanyi who took the anger out in the end."

"The alliance between Yunzhong and Guoshi was not strong from the very beginning, and they each had their own goals. They both needed each other's help and had to guard against each other, so the final result was that they were all tied up until now. ...The national teacher must have panicked."

Yun Zhong and Wei Chengju have rebelled openly and aboveboard, so it is impossible for the emperor to spare their lives, and once Yingdu is involved, the emperor will pursue it again, and the secret ties between the national teacher and Yun Zhong will be uncontrollably exposed. At that time, the first thing the emperor had to deal with was Nanyi.

Bai Yan and Huai Chun exchanged glances, the national teacher had to keep him, if he escaped through the secret passage in the palace, then Nanyi would suffer an indiscriminate disaster.

And what neither of them said was that even though Daliang defeated Beidi this time and the civil strife was resolved satisfactorily, the internal friction in the war caused great damage to Daliang. All innocent people will suffer.

Bai Yan can disregard who sits on the throne, and he can disregard how Master Yun Zhong will end up in the end, but he has to care about the safety of the people. Now Xiao Jiuqin is guarding the city outside, and he must guard Xiao Jiuqin's back Alright, otherwise the stab from behind might be the deadliest blow.

After a brief discussion, Bai Yan and Huai Chun decided to enter the secret passage again, and this time Prince Nanyi also followed. Compared with Bai Yan and the others, Prince Nanyi had avoided the secret passage for a long time before, so he Get more familiar with the place.

"Go now."

Now that the decision has been made, there is no further delay, and the three of them immediately evaded Wei Chengfeng's men and entered the secret passage again.
