Moreover, Zhou Yuanmo's plan was successful. Ning Nanyou and his group arrived in the northern territory and realized this matter. He had already made all plans.

However, Zhou Yuanmo alone, relying on the connections accumulated in Yegong Pavilion over the years, was definitely not enough to make him take care of both the North and the Huai Kingdom. Zhou Yigong and Wenxuntang went to Huai Kingdom this time, and even so, he could not catch the people pretending to be Zhou Yuanmo... This shows that there is another force in the Huai Kingdom helping Zhou Yuanmo's disciples get rid of the investigation of Yuancheng and Ji Xianzhi.

Ning Nanyou vaguely felt that the person Ji Xianzhi mentioned today was the person who secretly helped Zhou Yuanmo in the Huai Kingdom.

He took the silk book and slowly opened it, and rows of small clerks with sharp pens fell into his eyes.

Ji Xianzhi whispered from the side: "Yuan Cheng found out... the person who contacted Zhou Yuanmo's disciples in Huai State... was a doctor who often followed the woman, named Qin Ye."

The husband's hand holding the book and silk shook, his face froze slightly, his eyes stared at every word Zhou Yuancheng wrote in the letter like a torch, and his whole body trembled involuntarily.

Ji Xianzhi did not notice his expression change, lowered his eyes and continued to say: "Yuan Cheng led the Wenxuntang to carefully investigate the identity of this person... and found out... this person is a descendant of the Lu family."

Ning Nanyou's eyes shook, and he became more and more shocked as he read the contents of the letter.

Ji Xianzhi: "The lord has always been wondering... When Zhou Yuanmo was in Jianye, how could he order people to blow up Deng Yuan's private residence... to create such a sensational tragedy?"

Ning Nanyou finished reading the letter silently, quietly put the book and silk, put his hands together on his knees, and his expression became darker and darker.

Ji Xianzhi still said more than just saying: "At that time... this doctor named Qin Ye was sent to the palace by Jiang Zhushi to treat His Majesty's old illness, so he temporarily joined the imperial physician order, so he had the opportunity to contact Deng Yuan. Zhou Yuan was in Jianye and was in the capital, and he was all done by this person. He first gave medicine to Deng Yuan, took the opportunity to enter Deng Yuan's private residence, planted a sufficient amount of sulfur and charcoal... and calculated the time accurately, and detonated the dungeon under Deng Yuan's private residence."

Ning Nanyou lowered his eyes and his voice gradually became weaker: "Yuan Cheng can find out... what is the relationship between Qin Ye and Master Lu?"

When Ji Xianzhi heard him ask about this, he suddenly said silently.

There was suddenly no movement in his ears. Ning Nanyou's eyes paused slightly. He raised his eyes to look at him, but saw the middle-aged man hesitant.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his anxiety, and lowered his voice and said, "Uncle Ji, tell me. Don't worry that I can't accept it."

Ji Xianzhi frowned, his black eyes were low, and he said worriedly: "Lord, do you still remember... Lu Sheng, the son of Master Lu, whom Master Lu, always regarded as his elder brother, during his lifetime?"

Ning Nan's eyes were slightly stunned, as if he was trembling: "Qin Ye is...Lu Sheng? So... He did not die of illness during exile back then, but was rescued by the Water Pavilion?"

Ji Xianzhi nodded silently, his black eyes froze, and he looked at him deeply.

Ning Nanyou wanted to find some uncertainty in his eyes, but his determination was all within his sight.

Lu met Lu Sheng, the son of his elder brother. He only met twice. After the Lu family was confiscated, Lu Sheng was sentenced to exile on the frontier because he was under sixteen years old. After he learned about this, he immediately sent someone to save him, but not long after, he received news that Lu Sheng died of illness during the exile. He was once in a state of regret and anger, regretting that he could not save him earlier.

However, Ning Nanyou never expected that when he heard the news about this person again, he would be in this way.

Lu Sheng, in recent years, has turned into a doctor... and has been following the Jiang brothers and sisters?

He suddenly stopped, his pupils slowly shrink, his face pale, and he held his breath and said, "What else did Yuancheng find?"

The husband hid his gloomy face at this moment with his back light.

But Ji Xianzhi could still feel the chill he leaned forward, and he replied carefully: "That's all for now."

Ning Nanyou looked into the distance in a daze towards the sunshine that was spreading down, as if he had been pulled away from his whole body: "Uncle Ji... Do you think, is there anyone in this world who can truly trust me?"

The end of the speech was a little bitter and fell quietly, but it was as sharp as a blade, slashing Ji Xianzhi's heart, making him slightly stunned and didn't know how to answer.

The husband above the wooden wheel looked more and more sad: "I thought... she and I could really talk without any scruples. Uncle Ji, I put down all my precautions and decided to accept her with all my heart. Why... at this time, I let me know that Zhou Yuanmo was helping Zhou Yuanmo in Huai State... it was her person. Why was Lu Sheng Qin Ye?"

Ji Xianzhi hurriedly comforted him: "Lord... the matter has not been found out yet, and the lady may not know the inside story."

Ning Nanyou closed his eyes and followed Ji Xianzhi's words, trying to convince himself and believe her.

However, he could not stop his guess.

Why did Shui Pavilion save Lu Sheng? Why did Jiang Chengyi send Lu Sheng into the palace with his own hands so that he could have a chance to contact Deng Yuan? Is the Jiang brother and sister really just to help the Emperor of Wei deal with Ning Zheng? Is Jiang Chengjia really just designed to marry him for the encounter in childhood?

These problems kept wandering in Ning Nanyou's mind, constantly disturbing his thoughts, and making him feel confused. He was afraid that he knew the truth behind this, afraid that all his true feelings would be misappropriated, and afraid that his plans over the years would be destroyed by his deep love for his children. Perhaps... the reason why Zhou Yuanmo hated Jiang Chengjia so much at the beginning...is because he knew the inside story?

He even had such a terrible idea.

A chill climbed upwards, and Ning Nanyou fell into uncontrollable suspicion, and the two sides were wandering, and the two sides were uncertain.

Ji Xianzhi looked at his back and felt like he was pounding. He suddenly felt that he shouldn't have said this today. He had the same suspicion as Ning Nanyou, but he forgot that Ning Nanyou now has held Jiang Nu in his heart. When he heard this news, he would definitely fall into deep self-condemnation.

The atmosphere in the courtyard dropped to freezing point for a while.

This strange atmosphere was not broken until Lu Xun came from the front porch, walked around the screen wall, and rushed all the way through the wind.

"Master... Everything is ready."

The young man in the wood was straightforward and could not see that something was wrong with the two in the yard.

Ning Nanyou trembled all over his body, opened his eyes quietly, and a green light covered his eyes. His knuckles were as solid as white jade, and they gently turned forward, with a little difficulty. Ji Xianzhi took the initiative to step forward, held the wooden wheel, and pushed him towards Lu Xun.

The husband lowered his eyes, put away his indifferent expression, and covered the sad look in his eyes. When he looked at Lu Xun, he returned to his usual appearance: "Let's lead the way."

He instructed softly.

Lu Xun hugged his hand and hunched his fist. He noticed the unnatural look on Ji Xianzhi's face. He felt a little strange in an instant. He turned his head and was attracted by the husband sitting on the wooden wheel. He replied repeatedly: "Here."

The three of them headed northwest to the prefect's mansion, walked through the side door opened by the white brick wall, and in a blink of an eye, they walked around most of the mansion and came to a bluestone steps leading to the underground.

This place is deep and dark, and Ning Nanyou subconsciously glanced at his injured legs and frowned slightly.

Without saying a word, Lu Xun squatted down, grabbed his arms and turned forward, carried him to his body, and said without breathing: "Master...you have grabbed it firmly. I will carry you down."

Ning Nanyou was stunned, then laughed and replied lightly: "Okay."

Ji Xianzhi carried the wooden wheel and followed Lu Xun toward the dungeon.

The government office dungeons in the border town are wet and cold, completely different from the surface houses, and even three more colder than the prisons in the south.

Ning Nanyou had just entered, and he felt a vague sense of soreness coming from his knees.

After he sat back on the wooden wheel, he unconsciously hugged his knees and retreated into the fox fur cloak. Seeing this, Ji Xianzhi and Lu Xun took off the velvet robe they were wearing and stepped forward to cover him.

A burst of warmth surged, and Ning Nanyou's face turned slightly better.

Going further deeper, the prisoners were struggling and shouting one after another.

Lu Xun had all the officials and guards guarded in the prefect's prison, leaving only two of his own people to guard the green steps just in case.

The environment here is dim, with only a few green lights flashing with faint light. When the cold wind pouring into the steps blows, two of them are extinguished. There is no sunshine here all year round, and even the air is turbid, and the more you go inside, the more gloomy and terrifying it becomes.

After a while, Lu Xun stopped his footsteps in front of a cell at the deepest point.

Immediately afterwards, his low voice rang: "Lord... is here."

Ning Nanyou's drooping eyes slowly raised up and looked at the cell.

A few wisps of faint candlelight shone there, but were swallowed by endless darkness and moisture. There was no ripples on the broken mud wall. The prison door was unbreakable, and an iron lock was wrapped around the door. Through the gap between the wooden pillars and looking into the remote corner, a short, depressed figure reflected in the dim light, leaning alone on the wall, staring motionlessly at the cracked gap on the mud wall.

Lu Xun kicked the prison door hard, took out the key of the iron lock from his sleeve, and opened the prison door.

Ji Xianzhi pushed Ning Nanyou to the prison.

The people inside sat quietly on the ground without any reaction.

Lu Xun stared at him coldly and said coldly: "Zhou Yuanmo. Is he dead? The lord is here, why don't you get over quickly!"

After the words were finished, the ground was sitting casually. The person with a messy body couldn't help but shook coldly, his eyes gradually became dark, the corners of his lips slightly bent, and he smiled indifferently: "Lord? Where did you come from?"

He turned his head to look at the prison door, and looked at the jade-faced man sitting on the wooden wheel, with his eyes sarcastic.

Lu Xun said furiously: "Zhou Yuanmo! Don't be ignorant of the politeness!"

The people on the ground looked disdainfully and said, "Lu Chengzhong, you are really loyal. You put on such a terrifying posture... who would you disgust?"
