Chapter 204 Ning Yongnian’s Plan
”Your Majesty, this…”
On the high platform, Li Huaizhong saw the old monk who suddenly appeared, and the astonishment on his face was beyond description.
There were only a handful of people in Daning who knew this monk, and he was one of them, except for a few old guys in the Buddhist sect.
Monk Jingyuan.
He was once the most talented disciple of the Folian Temple, and later practiced evil magic privately. It is said that he was secretly executed, but in fact he escaped and disappeared from then on.
In fact, if it weren’t for the Buddhist stick engraved with inscriptions in the old monk’s hand, Li Huaizhong would definitely not recognize him at this moment.
”Your Majesty, is this person Jing Yuan?”
”Yes.”
”Then why would he…”
”Of course I arranged it.”
Ning Yongnian said with a smile: “Old Li, do you know why I asked you to tell Wei Changtian about the Liu family’s conspiracy in advance?”
”I dare not speculate.”
Li Huaizhong gathered his mind and answered with his head down: “But in my humble opinion, the emperor must want to lead the Liu and Wei families into a life-and-death struggle.”
”This is just one of the reasons. If that’s all, wouldn’t it be better to let the Liu family kill Wei Changtian?”
Ning Yongnian shook his head with interest.
”Guess again.”
”.”
Li Huaizhong frowned and thought for a moment, then slowly tried: “Does the emperor want to drag Buddhism into it?”
”Hahaha, that’s true.”
Ning Yongnian seemed a little happy: “You also know the evil method that Jing Yuan practices. It must use a woman as a furnace, and the best is the Tianyin body.”
”I use the dragon bird as bait, and he will definitely come here to snatch people today.”
”.”
Li Huaizhong knew that the dragon bird, that is, Youjia, was a Tianyin body.
No wonder Ning Yongnian had arranged for You Jia to lurk beside Wei Changtian before, it turned out that he was waiting for this moment today.
However, this also proves from the side that Ning Yongnian could not actually order Jing Yuan, otherwise there would be no need to go through so many twists and turns to create conflicts between Buddhism and the Wei family.
”Your Majesty, I still don’t understand.”
Sighing secretly at the cruelty of the emperor, Li Huaizhong asked softly: “But Jing Yuan has long been expelled from the Folian Temple. Even if he had a conflict with Wei Changtian and others tonight, or even killed Wei Changtian, what does it have to do with Buddhism?”
”What does it have to do with Buddhism?”
Ning Yongnian said calmly: “Old Li, Jing Yuan is not dead. How many people in the world know about this?” ”
Only a handful.”
”Although Jing Yuan practices evil methods, every move is the skill of the Folian Temple?”
”It is the skill of the Folian Temple.”
”Then how can you say he is not a Buddhist?”
Ning Yongnian’s face was hidden in the darkness, but his calm voice made Li Huaizhong shudder for a moment.
”As long as Jingyuan fights with Wei Changtian tonight, I will order the Xuanjing Division to wipe out the Buddhist sect one day. Do you think Wei Xianzhi will agree?”
”Yes.”
Li Huaizhong finally understood everything after uttering the word “yes” with difficulty.
Xu Shixing is dead. Although the Xu family has not made any moves yet, they will rebel sooner or later.
Wei Changtian killed Liu Yuanshan, and the dispute between Liu and Wei is inevitable.
So at present, the only thorn in Ning Yongnian’s eyes is Buddhism.
In order to drag Buddhism into this chaos, the emperor in front of him has made such a complicated layout.
Since it is impossible to infiltrate Buddhism, he will start with Jingyuan, the abandoned monk of the Folian Temple.
First, arrange Youjia to be with Wei Changtian, and then use Youjia as bait to lure Jingyuan into a conflict with Wei Changtian.
From the last “killing” incident, it is not difficult to see that the Wei family attaches great importance to Wei Changtian, the only son, so once this matter is accomplished, Ning Yongnian only needs to add a little fuel to the fire, and Wei Xianzhi will definitely “take revenge” and kill at the Folian Temple to ask for an explanation.
Of course, the old monks in the Lotus Temple would definitely tell the truth that Jingyuan had been expelled from Buddhism.
But would Wei Xianzhi believe it?
Who knows if Ning Yongnian has hidden a deeper backhand?
As long as the Wei family goes to war with Buddhism, and the Liu, Wei, Xu, and Fo families fight each other, the Great Ning Emperor will definitely be the one who laughs last.
But all this requires a premise.
”.”
Taking a deep breath, Li Huaizhong asked the last question.
”Your Majesty, forgive my stupidity, what if Wei Changtian handed over Longque?”
”.”
”Then I will lose a capable warrior.”
Ning Yongnian was silent for a moment, his expression not caring much.
Of course, he knew You Jia’s feelings for him, but to him, the latter was just an excellent warrior.
What’s more…
”Old Li, I’ll make a bet with you.”
Ning Yongnian suddenly stood up slowly, with a faint smile on his lips.
”Killing the prime minister for a maid, killing five second-rank officials for a brothel girl.”
”With Wei Changtian’s temperament, he will definitely not hand over the person.”
”If you don’t believe it, then just watch.”
”.”
The center of Sun and Moon Lake.
Wei Changtian realized that the old monk opposite him was actually coming for You Jia, and he was inevitably stunned for a moment.
”Senior, are you here tonight to look for her?”
”Yes.”
Jing Yuan nodded slightly and repeated: “As long as Master Wei hands over this person, we will leave.”
”.”
Suddenly a group of monks came to ask for a woman, especially at this critical moment. No matter how you think about it, it is not right.
But before Wei Changtian could think about it carefully, a trembling voice sounded behind him.
”Master Wei, don’t.”
”Please, don’t hand me over to them.”
The person who spoke was of course You Jia, and as soon as she said this, the eyes of several people around her were instantly focused on her.
Obviously, You Jia knew what would happen if she fell into the hands of this group of wandering monks.
”Miss You, what’s going on?”
Wei Changtian glanced at Jing Yuan, who had not yet moved, and frowned and asked: “What is your entanglement with them?”
”I, I”
You Jia looked at Wei Changtian with tears in her eyes, and did not explain, but just kept repeating in a tone that was almost begging.
”No, I, I will be tortured to death by them”
”No, no.”
”.”
Seeing You Jia’s appearance, Xu Qingwan immediately went over and gently hugged her in her arms, biting her lips and silently looking at Wei Changtian.
Although Comrade Xiao Xu did not speak, Wei Changtian understood what he meant.
No matter what, You Jia had saved her life.
Without further asking for details, Wei Changtian sighed softly and looked back at Jing Yuan.
”Senior, what if I don’t hand this person over?”
”Not handing him over?”
Jing Yuan suddenly raised the Buddhist stick in his hand with a grim smile on his face, and pressed it hard on the lake surface under his feet.
”Splash!!!”
The originally calm water surface suddenly raised huge waves, and the next second it gathered beside Jing Yuan to form a huge water dragon that was ten feet high!
”Second Grade!!”
Liang Zhen shouted loudly at the first time, and Qin Zhengqiu’s pupils also shrank, ready to attack at any time.
However, Jing Yuan did not attack immediately, but still stood there and looked at Wei Changtian, as if waiting for his final answer.
In other words, everyone with their own purposes was waiting for Wei Changtian’s answer.
Under the moonlight, life and death were just a thought away.
Being in the center of countless gazes, Wei Changtian lowered his head and remained silent for a while, then suddenly turned his head and looked at You Jia again, commanding in an emotionless tone:
”Look up and look at me.”
