After deceiving the villain, I was forced to love him.

Chapter 115 is as if they've already lost once.

The Yongchuan riot was no small matter. In addition, the Baili family also had businesses in Cangzhou. After the disaster, Baili Ming immediately mobilized all his spies.

Soon, the truth came to her through various channels.

Then, she hurriedly entered the palace with all the intelligence.

"Gu poison! It's Gu poison again!" Lu Jian's heart was in turmoil, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

The world had finally begun to show signs of a more orderly and efficient government, yet Wang Qingyan so easily erased the efforts of so many people!

Treating the lives of hundreds of thousands, even millions, of people like a joke!

asshole!

What a bastard!

He should have been tricked by Baili Ce!

Deceive them to death!

Anyway, I won't go to jail!

"The Wang family has truly abandoned all sense of shame."

Baili Ming also understood that Wang Qingyan was telling them that he could destroy everything if he wanted to.

"He has never given anyone face." Simply throwing a tantrum won't solve the problem.

So Lu Jian quickly calmed down again, "The fact that he dares to target officials and use the common people as pawns shows that his strength and the chips he holds are definitely much more than we can see."

"Moreover, it is impossible to know how he managed to control those who were poisoned by the Gu from thousands of miles away."

Lu Jian rubbed the sides of his nose with his index finger and thumb. He had also been having a terrible headache lately. "The clinic found quite a few clues from the things An Luo left behind."

"It can make the symptoms of being infected by a Gu more easily identifiable, so that we are not helpless."

"But the correct method to remove the curse has not yet been found."

"I have heard that Physician Lu is concerned about this matter..."

"Yes," Lu Jian had managed to gather almost all the famous doctors in the world into his clinic.

Physician Lu even went blind while testing medicines, so we really can't blame them for not doing their best.

Baili Ming was also completely baffled. "I wonder where he learned such amazing puppetry skills."

Even the once-popular Miao Gu had many limitations, such as the medium, distance, and time.

However, Wang Qingyan's Gu poison seemed to be able to be administered at will, without any restrictions.

"I no longer care about this issue." Anyway, he's not going to learn it himself.

"All I know is that if we can't find a solution, we might as well surrender and give the throne to Wang Qingyan."

"To prevent him from going mad and dragging everyone down to hell with him."

This was just a rant, of course.

Even if Wang Qingyan really wanted it, he couldn't give it to him.

"Does His Majesty really think that your concession will change his mind?"

"Absolutely not."

This has been well demonstrated in the case of Baili Ce.

For Wang Qingyan, there was no possibility of "I sacrifice myself for you, and you will abandon evil and do good", or "I compromise to please you, and you will become better for me".

"Judging by the time, your younger sister should be there by now."

"Yes"

Lu Jian sighed silently... The weariness between his brows could not be concealed, "I hope that the legendary Ancestral Gu is really in the Xianbei Mountains."

"..." Baili Ming didn't dare to say what would happen if it wasn't there, or even if it didn't exist at all.

Lu Jian smiled faintly, completely unconcerned about the matter, and said, "I've heard that the head of the Baili family was a man who wielded a sword and roamed the martial world a few years ago."

"Why have you become so sentimental since returning to the capital?"

"??" Baili Ming was puzzled when she was suddenly ridiculed.

But Lu Jian calmly descended the royal steps, saying, "The struggle for power has always been like this."

"If we are defeated, it is because we are not skilled enough."

"It is only right to do one's best in one's position and to fulfill one's duties."

"As for me..."

"The emperor's fate is to perish at the hands of the state."

“…” Baili Ming watched Lu Jian’s departing figure and felt inexplicably sad.

It's as if they've already lost once...

......

She now truly understands what it means for misfortunes to come in waves!

Just as Baili Ming returned from the palace, Feng Lan brought new bad news.

"Aqi sent a message saying that the leaders of Xinsheng Town secretly went back two months ago."

"..." Baili Ming's expression hardened, and he immediately sensed that something was very wrong.

But sending someone now is probably too late.

It would also alarm the Wang family, so perhaps...

Baili Ming beckoned Feng Lan over and whispered some instructions in her ear.

......

Baili Jiangluo's reply was more positive than Wang Qingyan had imagined.

But he hardly cared what the other party said, and casually tossed the secret letter, which was enough to wipe out his family and clan, to Zhou Tianli.

"..." Zhou Tianli looked bewildered as she took the letter.

Then, he casually tossed out a sentence, "From now on, you'll be in charge of everything in Xizhou," and left.

Zhou Tianli stood there stunned for a long time.

Everything in Xizhou was entrusted to her to handle, including all of Xizhou's interests...

To the Zhou family?!

"Heh..." Jiu Er, who was used to it, laughed from the side. Although his attitude was not bad, his words were quite contemptuous.

"The Zhou family head may not be aware of this since he just arrived."

"Our patriarch may be cruel, but he is by no means stingy."

“Just like me,” Jiu Er said, spreading his hands to show off his expensive clothes. “I just went to Xinsheng Town and I have everything.”

A hint of disgust flashed in Zhou Tianli's eyes. "What are you trying to say?"

“I want to say…” Jiu Er took two steps forward, his expression somber, “Be careful in your actions, and don’t make mistakes.”

After saying that, he quickly caught up with Wang Qingyan. He was full of energy now, thinking that he had made a contribution by taking the batch of silkworms in Xinsheng Town.

"Master, the people from Shucheng have relented."

Wang Qingyan scoffed upon hearing this, "Tch~"

"So fast?" He thought the people Lu Jian sent were incredibly capable.

"That's right. According to the brothers below, it was at the behest of the Prefect of Shucheng, but he didn't show up himself."

That's not surprising.

"Those who claim to be righteous, boast of their own superiority, and demand virtues from others that even saints cannot achieve are naturally the most vulgar and the most selfish."

However, it is precisely this selfishness that makes him the greatest weapon against Lu Jian.

"The Imperial Guards and the Investigation Division..."

Jiu'er felt guilty when she talked about this, "Lin Yuchuan is like an iron plate, without any weaknesses, it's really hard to make a move against him."

"He's a monolithic entity, and so are his subordinates? Do I need to teach you that?"

Jiu Er hurriedly lowered his head, "Yes, money, power, fame, and fortune, as well as grudges and affections, there is always one that moves people's hearts."

"now it's right."

Looking up at the endless night, Wang Qingyan's desires were like it, growing wildly and unrestrained.

......

The wind is purest on the grassland, and the moon shines brightest on the grassland.

Baili Ce lay under the night sky, a wildflower of unknown origin dangling from his mouth, while Laifu played with his aunt's sheepdog beside him.

As for his appearance, he's still as handsome as ever.

Fugui remained as quiet as ever, obediently resting his head on her belly, occasionally wiggling his tail to shoo away the fireflies that flew by.

The caravan set off yesterday. To be on the safe side, she asked someone to contact Qiu Jiang first, and then asked him to find a way to deliver the letter to Da Wei.

Anyway, it's been secretly processed, so most people can't understand it.

Whether it can be delivered to Lu Jian depends on whether his luck has run out.
