Mu Yun was very confused. Seeing her calm and peaceful appearance, he said even more curiously: "Empty City?"

Jiang Chengjia nodded and then told the truth about the border city: "In April this year, in order to continue to use the power of the Xiongnu, Zhou Yuanmo sent a letter to Archie, informing him that he had escaped from the hands of the officers and soldiers. This letter was intercepted by the spies from Ye Kong Pavilion through Liangzhou. Since then, Junhou has imitated Zhou Yuanmo's handwriting and has always allowed Yue Chong to send letters to Archie intermittently.

On the first day of August, shortly after we returned to Beijing, Junhou handed a letter to Archie as Zhou Yuanmo. The letter stated that it was Changming's detailed defense in the border city. Before that, he had already discussed with Qian Hui, Zhao Fu and Yue Chong who were staying in the border city, and ordered them to transfer tens of thousands of people and the defenders in the city to Shanhe County behind Huling Hill within a month.

The terrain is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if the Huns occupied the border city, they would not use this county as their next target. But just in case, Qian Hui and Zhao Fu led Changming troops to station near Huling Hills and establish defense lines. Yue Chong and the border guards hid in the deep forests around the border city, monitoring and observing the movements of the border city at any time."

"Your lord is in the name of Zhou Yuanmo?" Mu Yun sat cross-legged on the couch, holding his chin to study the matter, and soon became full of doubts.

"According to what you said, since Zhou Yuanmo wants to continue to use the power of the Huns, he should contact Archie often in private. Ning Nanyou imitates Zhou Yuanmo's notes and tone and communicate with Archie... It's okay once or twice. If it is done regularly... aren't you afraid of conflicting with the letters Zhou Yuanmo actually sent?

I heard from Ayi that Archie was a man. He was very cunning, cruel and ruthless, cautious and suspicious. If he noticed something from Zhou Yuanmo’s correspondence, he would definitely have doubts. In that case, it would be very likely to lead to flaws in the layout and revealing the matter."

Listening to her question, Jiang Chengjia smiled and said, "Junhou naturally thought of this. Someone in Yekong Pavilion was specifically responsible for intercepting letters from Zhou Yuanmo and the Xiongnu. Based on the content of these letters, he forged new news."

Mu Yun was surprised and said, "Zhou Yuan was coming and going without a trace, and his tracks appeared and disappeared from time to time. How did Ning Nanyou intercept all his letters?"

"Of course it is impossible to intercept them all. But most of them fell into the hands of Junhou. In order to calm the grievances of Chang Mengjun's rebellion case, he has been preparing for more than 20 years. If he doesn't even have this control, he doesn't have to continue to act. Besides... No matter how Zhou Yuanmo hides his whereabouts, he cannot eliminate the traces of sending letters. You also know that Fei Ge's letters are not very reliable, so Zhou Yuanmo will not choose.

In the Great Wei Dynasty, no matter who it is, if you want to send the letter out of the border and arrive at the Huns safely, you will only have two water routes and three land routes to go. As long as the king grasps these five routes, he will definitely be able to intercept his letters. Of course, Zhou Yuan was full of tricks and there must be other secret paths to send the letters, so there must be fish that missed the net.

However, in the capital, Fei Yu made such a big noise, and the coalition forces of various countries on the border of Liangzhou have been in constant conflict. Zhou Yuanmo and Archie were unable to take into account the real situation of each other in order to deal with the matter at hand. Moreover, the trust between them is not unbreakable. The interest relationship is both on guard. Therefore, even if one or two letters are not right, they may not be able to detect it."

She explained carefully and carefully.

Mu Yun nodded suddenly and said, "That's true."

After finishing his words, Mu Yun couldn't help but take a breath: "Your lord is really meticulous. If you hadn't set up this situation in the north early, it would probably be enough to shake Deng's family by what happened in the capital in recent days."

Jiang Chengjia bent his lips slightly and said lightly: "In fact, it is not a clever task to plan in the north in advance. Emperor Wei is good at using power and recruiting his brothers to deal with Ning Zheng. Before that, he had always relied on the Deng family to barely gain a foothold in the battle for imperial power and gain the upper hand.

Although he received the support of Shui Pavilion, with his personality, he would never give all the trust of his brothers and even Shui Pavilion. He was still inclined to Deng Guozhong in his heart. Therefore, even if Deng made big mistakes one after another, the Emperor of Wei could endure it again and again, keep it open, raise it high and let it go gently.

Therefore, only by removing the firewood from the cauldron can it truly work. The cases that have occurred in the capital in recent months are considered to be the basis. The indestructible trust of Emperor Wei in Deng’s family was shaken in these cases. Once the imperial family planted suspicion and murderous intention, they could not extricate themselves.

The Huns' capture of the northern land was the last straw that crushed the mule. Even if the Emperor of Wei could tolerate Deng's disrespect for the royal family, he would not be able to make concessions in terms of territory. The territory of the Great Wei is inviolable, which is the bottom line of the emperor. Deng Qing led his troops into the capital privately, and it would be fine if nothing happened in the northern land. Once news of defeat and conquest came, Deng Qing was the culprit and could not be forgiven. The rest of the anger of the Emperor of Wei over the past few days would be ignited.

Junhou negotiated with his cousin since he was a child, and he had already seen clearly what kind of person he was, so he naturally understood how to defeat his trust and dependence on Deng's family. And we... still have little understanding of the knowledge of Emperor Wei, and we have only been thoroughly able to fully understand his cold and weak character until recently. Therefore, we have been unable to grasp the key points before and hit the target. Emperor Wei's deep tolerance and endurance are comparable to Junhou. We underestimated him and were too confident, so we made mistakes again and again."

She summarized the past few months. Mu Yun listened and felt that every sentence was reasonable.

Just as the girls were discussing what had happened in the capital for nearly a month, standing in the palace between the green forest and red tiles, Ning Nanyou quietly sneaked into the prison of the palace under Chang Yu's concealment.

After many years, he finally waited for this day.

He followed the footsteps of the prisoner to the dark cell. He couldn't help feeling extremely happy as Deng Guozhong was in prison and suffered a lot of suffering. But at the same time, a great sadness surged into his heart. He finally let Deng Guozhong taste the taste of despair, but his teachers and commanders could never come back.

Ning Nanyou stood in front of the prison door and was silent for a long time. It was not until the prison officer retreated that he coughed softly, attracting the attention of the people in the prison.

The man's back was old and slightly hunched, thin and swaying. Hearing the noise, he couldn't help but tremble and looked out the prison door.

When he saw Ning Nanyou's gloomy face, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

Deng Guozhong was extremely surprised and asked in surprise: "Why are you? What are you here to do?"

Ning Nanyou narrowed his eyes, and a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes. He stared at him and sneered: "How was Taiwei Deng so surprised? Hearing that such a big thing happened to Mrs. Deng, my father specially sent me to visit you to express his condolences."

"Your father, let you visit me?" Deng Guozhong raised his tone, sneered, and then sneered, as if he was sneering at his arrival: "Haha, only the people from the Huai Palace can make such a high-sounding sound."

He raised a sarcastic smile on his face, then he lowered his eyes and said viciously: "Get out. I don't want to see you."

Hearing his harsh words, Ning Nanyou was not annoyed at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Why are you so excited? I'm so young... I'm here to visit with respect, but there is no malice. Are you too mean?"

Deng Qing stared at him coldly and said, "It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous to say these words from you."

"No matter how ridiculous it is... aren't you also becoming a prisoner now? You can only use some skills to me..." Ning Nanyou continued to stimulate him.

Deng Guozhong did not react at first, and then slowly tasted some other taste from the sentence he said.

He suddenly grabbed the wooden railing of the prison door, stuck it in the gap and looked at Ning Nanyou, and said in a panic and surprised look: "You, what do you mean by what you just now? Could it be that the reason why my Deng clan failed to be like this now...is it related to you?"

Ning Nanyou did not deny it, stood with his hands in front of the prison door, curled a smile and stared at him, his eyes calmly, coldly, and unfathomable.

Deng Guozhong was full of disbelief and stared at the person in front of him, constantly shaking his head, as if he was crazy about denying his thoughts.

He asked Feng Youru to repeatedly confirm the situation in the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion. But Feng Youru visited the Marquis Mansion many times, and saw with his own eyes that Ning Nanyou was in the mansion and had never left the mansion for several days. Therefore, they gradually let go of their suspicion of Ning Nanyou.

But now, Deng Guozhong stared at the young man outside the cell and suddenly got goosebumps.

He could almost certain that Deng Ling's speculation that day was most likely correct. For so many years, the person in front of him had been hiding his edge, deliberately pretending to be a playboy, cowardly, cruel and incompetent, but in fact he was hiding his strength and resting his low profile.

Deng Guozhong shivered in an instant, and a cold feeling surged all over his body. He held the wooden railing of the cell tightly and collapsed: "So... it turns out it's really you."

Ning Nanyou was still silent, just staring at him quietly.

He always thought that in the past year, Jiang Chengyi and the Water Pavilion behind him were targeting the Deng family, but he never thought that... In fact, Ning Nanyou was the real leader. It was him who made plans and controlled the Deng family, and slowly pushed the entire Deng family into endless hell bit by bit.

Deng Guozhong took a long time to swallow his throat, and asked with a hoarse voice: "You, you treat Deng like this... Is it because of the Chang Mengjun rebellion case back then? Are you avenging Lu Yu... right?"

Things have reached this point, and Deng is in a desperate situation and there is no possibility of turning around. Deng Guoxin is dead, but he wants to figure out everything before he dies. He stares at Ning Nanyou tightly, eager to get the exact answer from him.
