Chapter 442 Prince Zhaonan's Purpose

When Li Beifeng returned to the inn, the Taoist nun had not returned yet.

However, Lin Ning and others came back from outside first and brought some news.

"Defender, something seems to have happened in the capital!"

"Something happened?"

Li Beifeng was stunned: "What's the matter?"

"I went to Qintiansi under the order of the protector and heard some rumors..."

Lin Ning seemed to have thought of something, and the expression on his face was slightly solemn: "I heard that the court and the people are not very stable during this period!"

"The overt and covert fighting in the court became more and more intense, and even caused quite a few conflicts. I heard that Prime Minister Su went to see His Majesty some time ago, but was scolded by His Majesty..."

This news surprised Li Beifeng.

That Prime Minister Su is now the most powerful person in the court. In the past few years when the Jokhang Emperor ignored government affairs, the entire court was almost supported by Prime Minister Su.

And I heard that His Majesty also trusted Su Xiang a lot, so why did he suddenly reprimand him?

"What happened?"

"I don't know the specific matter, but I heard that Prime Minister Su seemed to want to admonish His Majesty, but was scolded by His Majesty instead, so there was a conflict... Because of this, Prime Minister Su is still recuperating at home. Now he is not only What a situation!”

Li Beifeng frowned slightly. This matter didn't seem like a big deal, but it revealed something evil and wrong.

What happened in the Jokhang Palace?

"One more thing!"

Lin Ning seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became slightly solemn: "Qin Tiansi came to report that Prince Zhaonan has returned to Jiangnan!"

"Prince Zhaonan?"

Li Beifeng's expression condensed, and he almost forgot about this person.

On that day, when he was still in Chaoyang County, Li Beifeng had some interactions with Prince Zhaonan.

Prince Zhaonan has a great reputation. He is the younger brother of the current Emperor Jozhao. At the same time, he was also the commander-in-chief of the Jokhang cavalry's Northern Expedition to the Northern Qi Dynasty.

The fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty had a great relationship with him.

Li Beifeng didn't feel much before, but now that he knows his identity, when he thinks of this person again, something strange comes to his mind.

At first, under Murong Die's recommendation, Prince Zhaonan tried to win over Li Beifeng, but after failing, he actually wanted to kill him.

If Murong Die hadn't betrayed him at the critical moment, and if Li Beifeng hadn't noticed it earlier, I'm afraid Li Beifeng wouldn't be able to stand here safely now.

He may have time to settle his old and new grudges with Prince Zhaonan in the future.

Thinking of Murong Die, Li Beifeng's eyes darkened slightly.

That day, when he left Chaoyang County, he had a night with her...

Maybe it's revenge, or something. But for Li Beifeng, this thing happened after all.

Now, I wonder where she is?

Thinking of this, Li Beifeng felt a little apologetic in his heart.

"Dharma Protector, Prince Zhaonan has a huge influence in Jiangnan and must be taken seriously!"

Lin Ning seemed to have thought of something, and said solemnly: "Back then, after Prince Zhaonan destroyed Northern Qi, he gained a huge reputation. Many people even speculated that he could even occupy Northern Qi and establish himself as king... However, to everyone's surprise, Unexpectedly, he finally returned to the imperial court, and even with a lot of prestige and support, he chose to retreat into the mountains and forests, and then traveled around..."

"But even after so many years, the influence of Prince Zhaonan cannot be underestimated. He still has many veterans in the Jiangnan area. There are even... many of his former subordinates in the Jokhang Cavalry!"

Li Beifeng heard the meaning of Lin Ning's words, "Do you think that Prince Zhaonan has different intentions?"

"I'm not sure, but I have to be careful!"

Lin Ning said in a deep voice: "That Prince Zhaonan must have big plans... His prestige was so high back then, and he was the biggest hero in the Northern Qi War. Is he really not interested in fame and fortune?"

If you are not interested in fame and fortune, Lin Ning will not believe it.

Li Beifeng didn't believe it either.

Others don't know, but Li Beifeng knows a little bit.

Murong Die is from Prince Zhaonan.

Murong Die stayed in the brothel in Chaoyang County just to help him attract talents from all over the world.

If this prince really doesn’t have any ideas, why does he want to recruit talents from all over the world?

Since he chose to travel around and retreat to the mountains and fields, why did he do these things in secret?

The purpose is self-evident.

"It seems that Prince Zhaonan has a big plan!"

Li Beifeng narrowed his eyes slightly and raised the corners of his mouth.

Judging from the current situation, it is almost impossible for Northern Qi to regain its kingdom. Without the push and help of external factors, it would be almost impossible.

Even though Northern Qi still had many old troops, they had no chance of winning against the Jokhang regular army.

unless……

There is an internal problem in Dazhao.

And this Prince Zhaonan may be a very key person among them.

Thinking of this, Li Beifeng suddenly looked back at Lin Ning: "I have a very important task to give you. I wonder if you are willing to do it!"

Lin Ning suddenly saw the protector's serious expression and was shocked: "The protector can speak, but my subordinates will do their best to handle it!"

"I need you to go to Jiangnan!"

"Jiangnan?"

"That's right, go to Jiangnan and help me check out Prince Zhaonan!"

Li Beifeng said solemnly: "Find out his information, monitor his every move, and report all the information to me."

"Can you do it?"

Lin Ning was stunned.

Spying on Prince Zhaonan?

this……

What does the Dharma Protector do?

Could it be that the protector is suspicious?

Lin Ning couldn't help but asked: "Does this matter need to be reported to the princess first?"

Logically speaking, such an important matter needs to be reported to the eldest princess first.

"No need!"

Li Beifeng shook his head slightly. He looked at Lin Ning and was silent for a moment before saying, "This is an opportunity. It depends on whether you can seize it!"

"If you succeed in this matter this time, I guarantee that my position in Qintiansi will be yours in the future!"

"..."

"..."

It's actually very simple to win people's hearts.

For Li Beifeng, Lin Ning is a rare and loyal talent.

Ever since they met in Chaoyang County, Lin Ning had followed him all the way to the capital, to Beizhou, and now back to the capital.

Along the way, Lin Ning worked diligently and reliably.

With such a talent, Li Beifeng would not treat him badly.

Even though Lin Ning seems to have followed Li Beifeng on the road of no return, for Li Beifeng, he is still willing to give Lin Ning a good future.

Today, Li Beifeng is still the protector of Qin Tiansi, even though he had a conflict with the eldest princess in Beizhou last time, and the eldest princess took his token back. But in Qintiansi, Li Beifeng is still the protector and has not changed.

This means that the eldest princess has not eliminated his identity.

only……

I'm afraid Li Beifeng won't be able to stay in this position for long.

As the prince of Northern Qi, his identity will be exposed sooner or later. By that time, he and Da Zhao, and even Qin Tiansi, would most likely meet at war.

Therefore, before leaving, Li Beifeng could still hand over his position to Lin Ning. For Lin Ning, this is the treatment he deserves.

For Li Beifeng, it also helps him to bury his own chess pieces in Qintiansi.

Kill two birds with one stone.

…

Lin Ning left quickly.

I'm afraid he needs to be more prepared for this trip to Jiangnan.

But don't worry too much, Qin Tiansi also has many locations in the Jiangnan area, which is not considered remote.

Li Beifeng waited in the inn for a long time, but still could not wait for the Taoist nun to come back.

He turned around and walked out of the inn onto the street, wandering around a few times.

Wandering around, I didn't know when I came to the door of Su Mansion.

Standing outside the door of Su Mansion, Li Beifeng felt a little entangled in his heart.

Now Shen Qingning and Su Shan are still in the Su Mansion. When Li Beifeng left that day, he didn't expect to come back so early.

Now that I'm back, I can't see them.

Too dangerous!

After lingering at the door of Su Mansion for a long time, Li Beifeng finally sighed.

It’s better to disappear for now!

If you meet them, you may get into unnecessary trouble.

Thinking of this, Li Beifeng shook his head and planned to leave first. However, as soon as he took two steps, he met a figure coming back from outside.

Sioux City!

Su Shan's cousin.

"Li, Brother Li?!"

When Su Cheng saw Li Beifeng, he was stunned for a moment, then he quickly stepped forward in surprise: "Brother Li, didn't you go to Beizhou? Are you back? When did you come back!"

Su Cheng was very happy and excited when he saw Li Beifeng.

Ever since he saw Li Beifeng's mysterious identity and skills, Su Cheng admired Li Beifeng.

Sister Su Shan's friend is too awesome.

Su Cheng wanted to find opportunities many times to communicate with Li Beifeng. As a result, they learned that Li Beifeng had gone to Beizhou and would not be back for a while.

Seeing Li Beifeng at this moment, he couldn't be more happy.

"Brother Li, hurry, hurry, come in first!"

Su Cheng warmly greeted Li Beifeng to enter.

However, Li Beifeng shook his head and glanced around: "Follow me."

With that said, he pulled Su Cheng into the alley next to him.

"What, what's wrong?"

Su Cheng was a little confused.

"Don't tell them about my return!"

Li Beifeng looked at Su Cheng and said.

"ah?"

Su Cheng was at a loss. Naturally, they were referring to Sister Su Shan and the Qing Ning girl, right?

But, why?

"Brother Li, are you going to hide the news of your return?"

"right!"

Li Beifeng nodded: "I came back secretly this time and will be leaving soon, so don't tell them about my return yet, okay?"

Although Su Cheng didn't know what was going on, he still nodded: "No problem!"

But soon he thought of something else: "Well, Brother Li, is there anything important for you to come back this time?"

"That's right!"

Li Beifeng didn't explain that much to him. He originally planned to leave, but when he saw Su Cheng, he thought of something.

"By the way, let me ask you a question!"

"What?"

"Have you been to the palace recently?"

"Yes, I have!"

Su Cheng nodded and said blankly: "What's wrong?"

"Have you seen the eldest princess recently?"

Li Beifeng asked.

"Seen it!"

Su Cheng nodded, feeling even more strange: "Brother Li, why do you suddenly ask about this?"

"She is in the palace!"

"It should be so..."

Su Cheng thought for a while and nodded: "Just two days ago, I saw her once in the palace. But for some reason, I always feel that Sister Zhao Ying's face is not pretty. By the way..."

Su Cheng seemed to have thought of something, and said: "Sister Zhao Ying has had a big conflict with some officials in the court recently..."

"What do you mean?"

Li Beifeng narrowed his eyes and asked.

Su Cheng touched his head and thought: "I don't know what happened specifically, but I heard from my mother and my brother that many ministers in the court are dissatisfied with Sister Zhao Ying. And my father..."

"My father and Sister Zhao Ying seemed to have a quarrel, and my father was so angry that he didn't go to court and was sick at home..."

Su Cheng seemed to think of something, and said mysteriously: "I heard that they all wanted to do something bad to Sister Zhao Ying. They targeted Sister Zhao Ying's Qintiansi..."

When he said this, Su Cheng suddenly reacted: "Brother Li, why did you suddenly ask this?"

"Nothing!"

Li Beifeng waved his hand: "Just asking casually."

"By the way, don't tell them that I'm back. I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first. Next time I have time, I'll teach you kung fu again!"

Su Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard it: "Really?!"

"Then Brother Li, I'll wait for you!"

"..."

Li Beifeng left, and Su Cheng stood there, looking excited.

It took him a long time to react and return to the mansion. He was going to go back to his room, but after a moment of hesitation, he turned around and came to Sister Su Shan's courtyard.

"Sister Su Shan, are you there?"

Su Cheng walked into the courtyard and came to the door of the room.

There was no sign of Sister Su Shan in the room. Su Cheng looked around and finally saw Sister Su Shan in the garden in the backyard.

Sister Su Shan was sitting under the pavilion in the garden, and a girl in a light yellow dress was following her.

It was Shen Qingning.

"Sister Su Shan, Sister Qingning?"

Su Cheng hurriedly walked up.

The two who heard the voice turned around and saw Su Cheng coming. There was no change on Su Shan's face, but Shen Qingning rolled her eyes impatiently.

"Why are you here?"

"Hey, I came to see the two sisters!"

Su Cheng smiled.

Shen Qingning glanced at him impatiently. He didn't like this guy at all.

If it weren't for the fact that he was Sister Su Shan's cousin, he might have scolded him a few more times.

"What do you have to do today?"

Su Shan glanced at him and asked softly.

"Nothing, just came to see the two sisters!"

Su Cheng was about to tell the news that Li Beifeng had come, but he remembered Brother Li's instructions, so he held back.

"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first!"

Su Cheng, who was worried that he might let something slip, stayed for a while and left quickly.

Shen Qingning and Su Shan were still in the garden.

Shen Qingning squatted aside, holding up her little face, with a bored and blank look on her face: "Sister Su, so boring!"

Su Shan chuckled: "Then do you want to go out for a walk?"

"No, it's boring!"

Shen Qingning pouted, bored: "There's nothing to visit, it's almost the same as the county city..."

Shen Qingning was bored, and remembered something again, pouted, and muttered.

"I don't know how that bastard is doing now, what he is doing in Beizhou, whether he has hooked up with other girls..."

Thinking of this, Shen Qingning was a little angry.

That guy left me and ran to Beizhou, and there is no news from him.

The next time he comes back, I will never forgive him!

Humph!

Su Shan didn't say anything, just stared at Shen Qingning beside her, with a complicated look in her eyes.
