Upon hearing this, he disregarded his injuries and excitedly sat up, saying, "I will remember this!"
As he spoke, he touched his wound, and a piercing pain shot through him.
This made his brow twitch slightly.
Li Chengqian helped him down again and prepared to leave.
He still needs to look after Si Lili, and he also wants to meet the other two people Jing Ni brought back.
This time, Wang Hao did not struggle, but he still gritted his teeth and endured the pain to say, "My lord, before I was captured, I found out that Si Lili was detained by Shen Zhong and was tortured every day."
In fact, the reason he was arrested was...
It was because of the excessively in-depth investigation into this matter.
In the territory of an enemy country, the difficulty of conducting investigations within their intelligence agency is self-evident.
Shen Zhong was not a useless person who did nothing, and a useless person could not possibly become the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
With the current strength of the Luo Wang organization in the capital, investigating the Jinyiwei is still too much of a stretch.
Li Chengqian paused slightly, and after a moment said, "I know, you should get some rest."
He left step by step.
In my heart, I had already sentenced Shen Zhong to death.
However, some evidence is still needed to determine whether Shen Zhong poisoned Si Lili.
He wouldn't wrong anyone, but he also wouldn't let anyone who dared to scheme against him get away with it.
Chapter 121 Yan Bingyun: What's going on? I've only been arrested for a short time, and the world has already changed so much?
122 Yan Bingyun: What's going on? Has the world changed?
In the antique-style room,
Yan Bingyun suddenly woke up with a start.
Like a cheetah, it cautiously surveyed its surroundings.
His gaze quickly fell on the center of the room.
On a middle-aged man dressed in hemp clothing.
He recognized the man; he was He Daoren, a famous ninth-rank swordsman from the Northern Qi Dynasty.
He had always worked under Shen Zhong.
But why is this person in the same room as him?
Also, why was he suddenly transferred to a different cell?
Yan Bingyun looked around at the drastically changed room and felt extremely puzzled.
Most importantly, his white prison uniform had been replaced at some point by a perfectly fitting official robe.
Moreover, he recognized it as the court attire of the Qing Kingdom's envoy.
Yan Bingyun sat up, filled with doubt.
Only then did he realize that, apart from the ninth-rank swordsman in front of him, there seemed to be no other means to restrain him.
After getting out of bed, he sat opposite He Daoren and said in a cold tone, "No matter what methods Shen Zhong uses, he will not be able to learn anything about the Qing Kingdom from me."
He Daoren glanced at him, but ignored him, continuing to drink his tea.
Although there was some tension, there was also a rare sense of leisure and ease.
Before Li Chengqian came to Northern Qi
He had received Chen Pingping's orders early on to obey Li Chengqian's commands in everything.
That's why he was just now,
The key reason why Jingni turned against them without hesitation after giving the order.
Being an undercover agent is not an easy job.
You try to gain the trust of everyone around you, yet you dare not trust any one of them.
Living with a mask on every day is extremely difficult.
Now, with Jing Ni's undisguised order,
This meant that his undercover career was completely over.
You no longer need to wear a disguise or a mask.
You will naturally feel a rare sense of leisure and comfort.
Of course, he was quite nervous about meeting His Highness the Crown Prince soon.
He Daoren held Li Chengqian in the highest esteem and reverence.
It wasn't because of Chen Pingping's orders, nor because of Li Chengqian's status as the crown prince.
Rather, it is simply from the perspective of a swordsman.
Any swordsman
They would all be convinced of Li Chengqian's power after that single sword strike that swept through the capital.
That was a sword strike that he, and indeed all the swordsmen in the world, could never achieve in their entire lives.
He even felt that the distance between that sword strike and the insurmountable barrier of a Grandmaster was greater than that distance.
As the ninth-rank swordsman who is closest to the Grandmaster level
He had seen Si Gu Jian make a move before, but Si Gu Jian was far less terrifying than this.
It wasn't until that day that he realized...
This Crown Prince is countless times more terrifying than the rumors suggest.
As he considered how to approach the Crown Prince...
Naturally, he couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to Yan Bingyun.
Yan Bingyun was somewhat surprised that He Daoren did not respond.
He felt that Shen Zhong had deliberately arranged this scene for a reason.
However, He Daoren's attitude now left him increasingly puzzled.
He looked down at the official robes of the Qing Kingdom he was wearing.
Although he knew he was still a prisoner,
But wearing this familiar official robe still gave me a sense of security that I couldn't help but feel.
Suddenly, the door opened and a figure stepped in.
Dressed in a dark gold robe, he exuded an air of elegance and nobility. He looked young, with an extremely handsome face. His cool and aloof eyes revealed a captivating majesty that made people subconsciously hold their breath.
Yan Bingyun looked at this person and felt that he looked somewhat familiar.
He came to the capital two years ago, and he had met Li Chengqian by chance while in the capital.
At that moment, he had no idea that this person was the Crown Prince of Qing.
After all, he still thought he was in a cage, so he subconsciously ignored some possibilities.
Just moments ago, He Daoren had maintained a haughty demeanor, ignoring Yan Bingyun.
He immediately stood up, performed a grand salute, and knelt down to pay his respects, saying, "This humble subject, He Daoren, greets Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Yan Bingyun was slightly taken aback. The Crown Prince?
When did the Northern Qi Dynasty actually have a crown prince?
He assumed that the Taoist priest was Shen Zhong's subordinate.
As a person from Northern Qi, the one who should be paying such a grand tribute should naturally be the Crown Prince of Northern Qi.
But why does this Crown Prince of Northern Qi look older than the Emperor of Northern Qi?
Next second,
A clear image surfaced in his mind, and he finally came to his senses.
The person before me is no longer the Crown Prince of Northern Qi.
He's clearly the Crown Prince of the Qing Kingdom!!!
But why did He Daoren pay homage to the Crown Prince of Qing?
Could it be that He Daoren is actually a spy for the Qing Kingdom?
In addition, why did the Crown Prince of Qing appear in Northern Qi?
More and more doubts arose in his mind. He hesitated for a moment, then bowed down along with the Taoist priest.
"Yan Bingyun from the Fourth Bureau of the Censorate pays his respects to the Crown Prince."
Li Chengqian nodded slightly, and with a casual wave of his hand, an invisible force lifted the two of them up.
"No need to be polite."
He looked at Yan Bingyun, whose expression remained relatively calm, but whose eyes betrayed a hint of fear.
"You can ask Master He if you have any questions later. Now, I need you to rebuild the Censorate's communication network in the capital within two days. Can you do that?"
Yan Bingyun hesitated for a moment before saying, "His Majesty has said that members of the royal family are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Censorate."
He Daoren subtly rolled his eyes.
This guy has been imprisoned for too long and can no longer see clearly who is in charge of the Qing Kingdom, or rather, the world.
"Loyalty to the emperor and love for one's country is very good."
Li Chengqian nodded slightly.
He casually took out a token.
He tossed it into Yan Bingyun's hands and said, "Yan Bingyun, Fourth Division of the Censorate, are you ready to accept the order?"
Yan Bingyun felt the cool touch of the token in the transit agent's hand.
