C53 A Crushing Defeat (1/2)
The three of them smiled at each other as their memories of each other went back to half a month ago.
At that time, Yan Xiaoxi had heard the conversation between Nangong Zhen and the mysterious black clothed man, and Nangong Lin had taken precautions against him. Afterwards, he had sent people to closely monitor Nangong Zhen and found out that he had been in contact with Liu Zhitian many times in the middle of the night.
After that, Nangong Lin noticed that Liu Zhitian was feigning illness at home and had been bedridden for many days. The scout came to report that Liu Zhitian had sneakily sneaked out of the residence, and he hurriedly rushed to the border army camp to enter the enemy's tent, Liu Peng.
After Liu Zhitian left, they immediately showed themselves. Under the persuasion of the two of them, Liu Peng told them everything that had happened. The three of them planned to work together, which was why they had this delicate plan.
Of course, this setup also required Nangong Xiao's cooperation. They told the entire story in advance and the few of them collaborated to put on a show.
Nangong Xiao had actually wanted to get rid of Liu Zhitian a long time ago. However, over the years, Liu Zhitian had always been careful and did not reveal anything.
Upon seeing this, Liu Zhitian immediately realized that something was wrong. He felt extremely flustered, but he maintained a calm expression on his face.
No, he hadn't completely lost yet. He still had a trump card in his hand, and relying on it would at least save his life.
There was a saying that went, 'if you keep the green mountains, you won't have to worry about not being burned'.
As long as he could survive, he, Liu Zhitian, would definitely take revenge.
”Does General Liu really not care about Madam's life?” Now, with Liu Peng's help, it would be much easier for him to escape from this place.
However, how could he know that all of this was just an extravagant hope?
With Nangong Lin's intelligence, how could he give Liu Zhitian any chance to turn the situation around? No one knew better than him that even the sparks on the prairie could be destroyed along with the gale.
He, Nangong Lin, had always been this way when doing things. He never gave his enemy, Liu Ding, any chance to retreat. This was also the true terror of Nangong Lin.
Liu Peng's next words completely destroyed Liu Zhitian's last hope. He pointed at the door and asked, ”Is General Liu talking about her?”
At the end of his sentence, Liu Zhitian walked in from outside the military camp. A woman wearing a yellow robe walked in with her hair tied into a bun. Her skin was fair, and her eyes were as clear as water.
Liu Zhitian knew this woman, and they had met before.
She was Liu Peng's wife, his final bargaining chip.
”Madam, you've worked hard.” Liu Peng and Madam Gu pounced on themselves, one could tell how much they loved each other.
”Husband.” After not seeing Liu Peng for so many days, Madam Ling had been extremely concerned about his safety.
If it wasn't for the timely appearance of Prince Lin and Princess Lin, they would have been minced meat on the chopping block long ago, waiting to be slaughtered by Liu Zhitian.
Fortunately, before Prince Lin went to find her husband, he first spoke of the stakes involved.
As a woman, she only wanted her husband's safety.
Thus, she didn't hesitate to persuade her husband to help Prince Lin and his wife. Now, it seemed that her decision was correct.
”You …” Liu Zhitian couldn't believe what he had just seen. Why was Liu Peng's wife here?
The place he chose was so secretive that it was impossible for Nangong Lin and the others to find it.
Moreover, without his orders, who would dare release Liu Peng's wife? If they were taken away, why hadn't he received any news?
What was going on? Liu Zhitian was really confused?
”Does General Liu really think that your men are your men?” Nangong Lin lightly smiled. Actually, they had already changed Liu Zhitian's family to their own.
Only this way would Madam Liu Peng's safety be guaranteed.
Otherwise, once something happened to Liu Peng's wife, no one could predict what would happen next, because they all knew how nervous Liu Peng was towards his wife.
”Little Linlin.” Yan Xiaoxi's heart was suddenly filled with emotion when she saw the relationship between Liu Peng and Madam Ye.
