Chapter 88: My intention is not what Your Highness intends

After receiving Yuan Tiangang's secret letter, Wen Tao also began to make arrangements calmly. With his style of doing things, he would always leave a way out for himself before any mission. Thinking of this, Wen Tao shouted to his subordinates, "Come on, a few of you, follow me to dig another tunnel."

"Sir, haven't we already dug this tunnel?" a middle-aged man in a short coat asked in confusion.

"Don't ask some things that you shouldn't ask." Wen Tao said lightly, and the man immediately dared not say a word. These men all knew that although the man in front of them looked gentle, he would be ruthless when it came to killing people.

……

Hidden Soldier Valley.

Yuan Tiangang sat alone in the pavilion. Once people get older, they like to sit alone and reminisce about the past years, especially a "centenarian" like Yuan Tiangang. He must often reminisce about the past to maintain his humanity, otherwise he might really become a monster. No, maybe he has already become a monster, but his obsession with reviving the Tang Dynasty keeps his body alive in the world.

Tap, tap, tap...a ​​clear sound of footsteps came from the stairs.

"Marshal, the message to Wen Tao has been delivered. In addition... there seems to be a problem with His Highness."

The Three Thousand Courts stood respectfully in front of Yuan Tiangang. Although the world had changed suddenly, everything was still under the control of the Marshal. Moreover, their prince seemed to be quite capable as he had actually taken that person down... The Three Thousand Courts, which had just received the information, were a little shocked.

"Hmm? What happened to His Highness?" Yuan Tiangang paused slightly as he held the teacup. The situation in Qianling hadn't even started yet, so how could something happen to His Highness?
Sanqianyuan bowed and said, "The bad people of Qi country sent news that the ghost king attacked the Qi army camp last night and severely injured the Empress of Huanyinfang and the six holy maidens by himself. He also killed 27 soldiers of Qi country and severely injured dozens of people. Later, the ghost king was repelled by your highness and the empress. Your highness went into the empress's tent to help him heal his wounds."

Yuan Tiangang glanced at Sanqianyuan and asked, "What do you think happened to His Highness?"

Sanqianyuan smiled and said, "She's fine. It's just that since His Highness treated the empress last night, His Highness has been in King Qi's tent and has not left. It's not easy for our people to get too close to know what happened while His Highness was treating the empress, but the letter said that after the empress called His Highness by his name, the two of them never left the tent again."

Sanqianyuan paused and couldn't help but add:
"According to the news from our people, the two of them did not sleep all night, and there were charming sounds coming from the tent, confirming that the two of them had already gone to Wushan together and enjoyed sex."

For the first time, there was some surprise in Yuan Tiangang's eyes, "Prince Qi? Song Yunji? When did she fall in love with His Highness?"

As the leader of the bad guys, Yuan Tiangang is in charge of all the intelligence in the world. However, even he has just updated the intelligence to the point that Li Xingyun and Zhong Xiaokui are together. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, this kid has slept with King Qi again. With the speed of the bad guys' intelligence, they can hardly keep up.

Sanqianyuan said with a smile, "General, I don't know either, but it seems that the two have been in contact since they met in Yuzhou. It seems that they have already developed feelings for each other. This time, the Ghost King's attack on the camp has in disguise facilitated their good fortune."

The smile on Sanqianyuan's face never stopped. After all, this was his highness's first woman, and also the empress who temporarily took over the throne of King Qi. His highness had actually conquered a local vassal king just like that. Wasn't it the equivalent of handing the country of Qi to his highness?

At this time, Yuan Tiangang had to admit that the blood of the Li family was of some value. This person was born with a romantic temperament, which really left people speechless. He quietly looked at the reflection in the teacup without saying a word. After His Highness's behavior, should Song Wentong be killed or not?

"Marshal? This is a great thing for His Highness, why don't you look happy?" Sanqianyuan looked at Yuan Tiangang in confusion. As Yuan Tiangang's confidant, even though Sanqianyuan had followed Yuan Tiangang for decades, he still couldn't see what the marshal was thinking. "A good thing? Humph!"

Yuan Tiangang snorted coldly and said, "Li Yunji is the empress, which is a double-edged sword. Whether Your Highness can use this sword well will test Your Highness's ability."

Sanqianyuan also realized something at this time and frowned, "Are you worried about Qi Wang Li Maozhen?"

Yuan Tiangang put down the teacup and said, "Li Yunji is Li Maozhen's biological sister. She has become your highness's woman now. After Li Maozhen returns, he will be the most powerful foreign relative in the world! If your highness can suppress Li Maozhen, then Li Maozhen who returns from the Twelve Caves will be a magical weapon. If your highness cannot suppress Li Maozhen, then the foreign relatives interfering in politics and the loss of imperial power may happen again."

"Even if I kill Li Maozhen at that time, the world will surely break out into civil strife again. Is this the kind of world I want? Is this what Your Highness wants?"

Sanqianyuan was even more confused when he heard this. He asked, "Wasn't it you, the commander-in-chief, who arranged for Qi Wang Li Maozhen to flee to the Twelve Caves? Isn't he doomed?"

"It is my intention to let him die, but not your Highness's intention. The current Highness is not the same as before!"

Yuan Tiangang stood up, put his hands behind his back and said, "Now, the rice has been cooked. Li Yunji is already your highness's woman. The doomed Li Maozhen has a glimmer of hope. Let's see what choice he makes. It's a good opportunity for me to see your highness's methods again."

Yuan Tiangang looked at the mountains in the distance and said calmly: "Although I can plan everything, Your Highness still has to make your own decision in the end. Even if I have the power to force Your Highness to make a choice, I cannot do that. The will of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is not something that I, a Tang official, can influence."

Sanqianyuan was shocked when he heard this, then he clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "I understand."

Yuan Tiangang regained his concentration and asked, "Tell me about the recent situation in Jin State."

Sanqianyuan bowed and said, "Reporting to the commander-in-chief, after receiving the edict to attack Zhu Liang, Jin State split its troops into two groups. Li Siyuan, the regent, led his men to pretend to attack Liang State, while Li Cunxu led his men to prepare for a surprise attack on Yanyun. However, Yan Wang Liu Shouguang did not seem to realize the seriousness of the problem and is still sending troops to prepare to attack Liang State. If nothing unexpected happens, Yanyun will soon be captured by Li Cunxu."

Yuan Tiangang snorted disdainfully when he heard this. "Hmph, when the world is overturned, all kinds of pigs and dogs will come out to claim the throne. When Emperor Taizong was conquering the world, people like Liu Shouguang would only be fit to be a street thug!"

"However, this Li Cunxu is really a character. He doesn't even care about the merits of serving the king. He is a pragmatic person. Such a person should be killed!"

As soon as Yuan Tiangang changed the subject, his voice was already filled with murderous intent. He had already made arrangements around Li Cunxu long ago, just waiting for the right time!

Sanqianyuan continued, "General, there is another matter in Jin. Zhang Chengye, the military supervisor of Hedong, has surrendered to Your Highness. The bad people of Taiyuan have sent news that with the cooperation of Zhang Chengye, our bad people, who were originally oppressed by the Tongwenguan in Jin, have been freed from their living space. Now, Your Highness's arrangements in Jieliang are going smoothly!"
