    The heavy rain poured over the entire capital.

    Inside the palace, Qin Nuo stood in front of the study room behind the Beginning-of-Creation Palace, looking at the dense raindrops outside the corridor.

    Such weather seems unsuitable for tracking. don’t know whether Pingxi Camp’s actions went well.

    Telling Pei Ling the news is a respect for him, and it also gave him a chance to choose.

    But to his surprise, Pei Ling would choose such a path.

    The most irrational and the most damaging path to his prestige and power.

    Qin Nuo was stunned for a moment when he heard Pei Ling's secret report that Ren Jinglei was leaving.

    Since the first contact, Pei Ling has always displayed a wise and rational side in front of him, without any flaws.

    It turned out that that person would be so headstrong and hesitant, and also have feelings that cannot be let go.

    Pei Ling made such a choice, but he would not!

    Since Yaoguang has lurked in the capital, the "winners" have been shining through. He cannot let him go, and it is also related to the follow-up battle with Nanchen. There is no room for softness.

    However, the mood is still heavy. Thinking of the bright and cheerful young man with smiling faces, Qin Nuo couldn't calm down. For a moment, he understood Pei Ling's choice a bit.

    "The emperor, it's too windy and rainy outside." Huo Youjuan held the cloak and walked to the corridor.

    Qin Nuo took it and took her hand.

    "Pingxi Camp should have news soon," Huo Youjuan asked.

    "Yes." Qin Nuo sighed, with a trace of sadness in his expression.

    Huo Youjuan was keenly aware, was silent for a moment, and said: "The emperor doesn't have to worry, Ren Jinglei chose this path to get his own way. Since he lurked, he first leaked the secrets of the open sky crossbow, so that Nanchen got the drawing early. Later, he instigated the epidemic and murdered tens of millions of people. Among them, the crime is monstrous and countless. The emperor’s slaying of him is justified by nature and justice, and there is no debt."

    Qin Nuo nodded. In all fairness, Huo Youjuan is telling the truth.

    "I just can't figure out why he betrayed."

    Yaoguang lurked among the high-levels of the capital. Both the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs have long been concluded, but who is it? The North Koreans doubted almost everyone, and most of their eager eyes were on Fang Yuan. Even several other high-level military officials who are closely related to the Southern Army are suspected. But because of his family background, Ren Jinglei was almost never suspected.

    Even now, if it is announced in the court, that Yaoguang's true face is estimated to be dumbfounded by most military leaders.

    "When did the emperor determine that the deputy commander was Yaoguang?" Huo Youjuan couldn't help asking.

    Qin Nuo smiled bitterly. This matter was extremely confidential. From the beginning to the end, too many people had been calculated, so he didn't even elaborate on Huo Youjuan in the first details.

    He began to suspect that Ren Jinglei was because Tang Chen informed him.

    At the time of the coup d'etat in the imperial mausoleum, he not only learned the intent of Qin Ze wrapped up with Ge Changhai, Lin Jia and others, but also told a secret recently investigated by the Ministry of Justice.

    This matter is Lin Jia's credit.

    When the disease just broke out, the court arrested the Lord Golden Sect and prepared to interrogate the solution. But the next day, Lord Golden Sect was killed in Huangquan. Then, even his residence, the Chenghuang Temple, was burnt clean.

    The Criminal Ministry was severely criticized by Qin Nuo for this, and also by courtiers. At that time, Lin Jia swore to reveal the truth of this matter.

    The cause of Lord Golden Sect's death was that his heart was broken by the inner palm. At that time, everyone thought that a master infiltrated the prison and shot him to death. Experts in the Criminal Ministry were investigated. It's a pity that after a big move, the Criminal Ministry was so disturbed that it never found a clue.

    After that, Lin Jia refused to give up, secretly sealed the main body of Golden Sect in freezing, and secretly invited a master to do an autopsy for detailed investigation, and he made a major discovery.

    The Golden Sect master is the extremely rare soft bone palm in martial arts. This kind of palm strength is extremely weird. It does not happen on the spot, but after a few days of hiding it, it will burst out suddenly, like a death on the spot.

    But this kind of martial arts hasn't been practiced for many years, and for a while, his mind was broken.

    Forced to be helpless, Lin Jia simply used the elimination method to investigate all the masters who had come into contact with Golden Sect before the death of the Lord. Anyway, the skill of the palm palm can only last for five days.

    The first three days were in Golden Sect, and the next two days were arrests by the Imperial Army and the prison.

    In five days, there are a dozen masters who have come into contact with the Golden Sect master. Lin Jia analyzes their martial arts skills and usual tricks one by one, and even traces the origins of these people. This is a meticulous and careful experience. The time-consuming work is also due to his patience.

    In the end, the suspicious eyes were locked on Ren Jinglei, the deputy commander of the Pili camp.

    He was one of the leaders who went to capture the Golden Sect master that night. According to the memories of several military officers who were in the same group, at that time, the crowd gathered around Golden Sect to the criminal ministry. He still wanted to resist and struggle. Ren Jinglei beat him twice before he calmed down.

    After confirming that it was Ren Jinglei, Lin Jia was puzzled again. Even if Ren Jinglei killed the Golden Sect master with a black hand, he could not be completely concluded that he was Nanchen's.

    Because the Xing Department is the site of the Huo clan, it does not cause trouble to the Pei family in daily work. Ren Jinglei’s predecessor, deputy commander of the Perak Camp, was inadvertently involved in the crime of grabbing and bullying the land in the suburbs of Beijing when he was buying the land in the suburbs of Beijing. The promising deputy commander of the Imperial Army in Beijing was directly demoted to guard the border in the western mountains. .

    As Pei Ling's righteous son, Ren Jinglei occasionally added a bit of blockage to the Xing Department, which made sense.

    Although Pei Ling should not be such a disregard of the overall situation, Ren Jinglei is young and energetic, what if he is impulsive?

    Lin Jia could only stare at people secretly, without taking any action, followed by Qin Ze and Queen Mother Huo's treason. He didn't care about it for a while.

    After Qin Nuo learned of this, he valued it extremely.

    On the night of the imperial tomb's rebellion, he hid in the imperial palace as Qin Ze and specially tested Ren Jinglei.

    They talked one-on-one in the back garden of the imperial house. At that time, it was very in-depth. On the face of it, the emperor and his officials talked freely, but in fact, it was Qin Nuo's temptation.

    If Ren Jinglei is Yaoguang, this is his best opportunity to kill himself.

    Qin Ze has just died, and his emperor will die again. By then, there will be no leaders in the court, and there will be a mess. For Nanchen, it will be the most favorable time to breathe.

    However, what confuses him is that after the monarch and his ministers got together all night, Ren Jinglei did not act.

    Hearing what Qin Nuo said, Huo Youjuan suddenly widened her eyes.

    "Emperor, this is too dangerous! How can you risk it yourself."

    "Don't worry, I won't make fun of my life. At that time, I specially asked Eunuch Chen to hide in the depths of the garden..."

    On the surface, Qin Nuo and Ren Jinglei were facing each other alone. And in the depths of the garden, there are several top masters hidden in the scales.

    Moreover, he specifically asked Fang Yuan in advance how long his martial arts could last if he matched Ren Jinglei. Fang Yuan's answer made him feel relieved to implement this plan.

    Looking back now, it was because of that questioning that Fang Yuan knew that he had begun to doubt Ren Jinglei. So later he will choose to replace him...

    However, Ren Jinglei did not do anything. This result confuses Qin Nuo, Lin Jia and Tang Chen.

    Is it really not him?

    Unable to determine, they simply continued to stare. Qin Nuo arranged for Eunuch Chen to take action and continue to follow Ren Jinglei, especially after Wen Miao entered Beijing.

    Sure enough, this time, grabbed his tail...

    In the face of the irrefutable facts, everything was in vain, Ren Jinglei turned out to be Yaoguang, he betrayed Great Zhou, and even Pei Ling...

    Does Pei Ling know? For a moment, Qin Nuo even doubted whether this was a means for Pei Ling to raise the bandits' self-respect, but immediately denied this idea.

    Pei Ling cannot be such a lower limit. Although he is acting like a maniac, he will never use disease as a means to damage tens of thousands of people in Zhou Dynasty.

    After confirming Yaoguang's identity, the rest is simple, and he will use this hidden spy in exchange for the greatest benefit of Da Zhou.

    It happened that the front line sent a secret report, and made a plan to attack Kang City. Qin Nuo further refined and perfected this plan, and at the same time formulated a poisoning plan, which was used as a cover for the Kang City strategy.

    With the poisoning plan, he took Yaoguang in one fell swoop on the bright side, as well as the ambush where Nanchen had been lurking for many years.

    In the eyes of Wen Miao and Ren Jinglei, the Zhou court has relaxed its vigilance and is no longer worried about the leakage of strategic secrets. In this context, Qin Nuo will revise the previous Kang City strategy plan and show it to Pei Ling.

    Pei Ling knows, it is equivalent to Ren Jinglei knows, and then Nanchen knows too.

    A set of scoring, in-game, in-game, is completed in this way.

    Nanchen Jianye followed the Kang City strategy and formulated a defensive counterattack. It really prevailed at the beginning. Unfortunately, what Du Kang used was Qin Nuo's revised second set of plans.

    In the end, the hunter and the prey changed positions. In the battle of Kang City, Great Zhou won a complete victory.

    Nanchen's main force was wiped out in one fell swoop.

    As for Ren Jinglei, he also squeezed the last trace of use value.

    Time to close the net!

    In the end, he left Pei Ling the final right to close the net, which was a test and a respect.

    However, Pei Ling's choice was beyond his expectations.

    Hearing the secret report from the Hidden Scale Division, Qin Nuo immediately ordered Pingxi Camp to chase after him, and he must not let Ren Jinglei escape!

    Now, it should be the time to report the news.

    Whether it's the layout of the capital or the far south, the long-lasting war has come to a close.

    Huo Youjuan stared at him with emotion and admiration in her heart.

    Layout of thousands of miles, harvest in one go.

    The young man in front of him finally began to show his intelligence and sharpness. wonder if those courtiers in the court have time to adapt to such an emperor?

    It was still dark, and as expected, the pursuit came to fruition.

    Pingxi Camp Chao Yangcheng visited the palace.

    Kneeling to report back the news that made Qin Nuo relax, but inexplicably heavy.

    Alkaid was already arrested and sent to prison.

    "Thanks for this trip." Qin Nuo lowered his gaze and praised.

    This night is another sleepless night for many people in the capital.

    The night rain is torrential.

    Pei Tuo rushed under the eaves and breathed a sigh of relief.

    It's home, the rain today is really heavy! Poorly, he was entangled in military affairs. He spent most of the night at the Pili camp and only went home when it was almost dawn.

    Patting the spray on his shoulders, Pei Tuo raised his foot and stepped into the yard.

    The old steward greeted him and said repeatedly: "Master Xiaohou is back, how come he is soaked, I will ask the guards to prepare a hot shower."

    "Aren't you busy with this, is your uncle at home?" Pei Tuo asked casually.

    Speaking of Pei Ling, the old steward paused and frowned: "The general is at home, and I don’t know what is busy in the study. Let me bother and say I want to be alone."

    It's almost dawn, why haven't you slept or eaten? Pei Tuo was surprised, "Did there be any major incidents in the DPRK?"

    "No, no one came here today. It was in the afternoon when Master Jinglei came back. Hey, the general even made a bowl of rice porridge and egg custard for him. He left soon after eating. "

    Speaking of this, the old housekeeper's tone was surprised.

    Pei Tuo was also shocked, how could he cook for Ren Jinglei in a good manner? It's not when was young.

    He walked quickly across the atrium and into the back study.

    The light in the study was still on, and Pei Ling's figure was reflected on the screen windows.

    Without waiting for Pei Tuo to push the door, a voice came from inside: "You don't have to come in, go down and rest yourself."

    "Uncle?" Pei Tuo always felt that the voice was a little tired, and he couldn't help lowering his voice.

    "If you don't want to rest, go back and pack your things. Tomorrow, no, let's go back to the northern border today."

    "Huh?" Pei Tuo was shocked and inexplicable. He had said that he would be transferred back to the northern border recently, but it wasn't that fast. He just left. He was still in the Perak camp just now doing military affairs until midnight.

    He returned to the northern border by himself, "What about Ren Jinglei?" He couldn't help asking, since the two of them grew up, they were basically anxious.

    There was a sudden silence in the room.

    Just when Pei Tuo suspected that his uncle was already asleep, a low tone came from the room: "You don't need to worry about it, go back to clean up immediately, and leave tomorrow morning."

    Pei Tuo was full of doubts, but the military order was like a mountain, and he did not dare to ask more.

    Going down the steps with full stomach nagging, walked through the flower garden behind the court, his eyes fell on a few flower seedlings.

    The originally neat flower seedlings had been gnawed by something before, and they lay awkwardly on the shelf.

    There was a sudden loss in the depths of my heart.

    The sky bloomed with light, but under the shroud of clouds and heavy rain, the faint ray of light was like a dim light in the wind, weak and weak.
