I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 358

Two quarters of an hour later, when the general of the imperial guards in silver armor appeared in front of Li Qi, Wei Changtian no longer knew where he had gone.

"The final general has seen the emperor!"

With a "plop", the visitor knelt down on one knee in front of Li Qi.

He was the general of the imperial guards, Ding Zhong, who had just reported to Yu Pingjun.

"Well, get up."

Lifting his eyelids, Li Qi waited for Ding Chong to stand up before slowly asking: "General Ding, where were you just now? Why did you come so slowly?"

"Back to the emperor, just now the last general is inspecting the palace."

Ding Zhong replied without changing his face: "After hearing the letter, he rushed to Tianlu Hall immediately."

"Palace inspection."

"boom!"

Li Qi slapped the table suddenly, and his tone became extremely cold in an instant: "A thief entered the palace just now! Let me ask you if you know?!"

"what?!"

His eyes widened suddenly, and Ding Zhong raised his head in astonishment: "Your Majesty, when did this happen?!"

"You don't need to worry about when this happened, I just ask you."

Squinting his eyes, Li Qi asked again in a deep voice: "Do you know about this?"

"The last general."

The atmosphere in the hall instantly turned to freezing point, and fine beads of sweat appeared on Ding Zhong's forehead.

Do you know this.

This way of asking can only show one thing, and that is that Li Qi is doubting himself.

"Whoa~"

"boom!"

The armor rubbed against each other, Ding Chong knelt down and kowtowed again without thinking: "Your Majesty! The last general really doesn't know!"

"This matter is the final dereliction of duty! Please punish the emperor!"

"."

To be honest, Ding Zhong's performance was actually not a big problem. From the beginning to the end, he was very much like the reaction that a general who committed a "crime of dereliction of duty" should have.

On the other side, Li Qi's expression softened a little.

Whether Bai Youheng entered the city through secret passages is just a guess, so he was cheating Ding Zhong in the first place.

Now that the latter has not revealed his "telling feet", it means that there is a high probability that he is really unaware.

"get up"

"The last will not dare!"

"."

Soon, Ding Zhong came and went and left Tianlu Hall in a hurry.

And just as he stepped out of the palace gate, Wei Changtian appeared from behind a screen, frowned and walked back to face Li Qi.

"Young Master Wei, you heard everything clearly just now."

"Um"

Wei Changtian thought for a while and asked again: "Your Majesty, is there any other secret passage connecting outside Fengyuan City?"

"There are, but nothing else leads to the north of the city."

Li Qi replied truthfully: "And if someone enters the city through this secret passage in the north of the city, it is impossible for General Ding not to know."

"So, from my point of view, Bai Youheng shouldn't have entered the city from a secret passage."

"I see."

Nodding noncommittally, Wei Changtian was still thinking about the conversation between Li Qi and Ding Zhong just now.

He really didn't hear any problems, but if Bai Youheng didn't take the secret passage, then how did he get into the city?
There can be no flaws in the city gates and walls, and among the refugees outside the city, there are also spies of their own.

To put it an exaggeration, even if Bai Youheng had grown wings and flew in, he would be noticed by others.

Didn't he go to town?

impossible.

Since Bai Youheng has made clear the time and place, it is absolutely impossible to check the situation, but there must be a way to enter the city
The more Wei Changtian thought about it, the more confused he became, but he still couldn't think of a reasonable explanation.

Until he saw Chu Xianping again an hour later, he told the latter exactly what happened.
"Young Master, Ding Zhong may have a problem."

This is the conclusion that Chu Xianping gave immediately after listening.

"As a general of the Imperial Guard, if he hears that a thief has sneaked into the palace that he has not noticed, he should immediately ask about the situation of the thief."

"But he didn't ask a question, there is definitely something wrong with it."

Under Wei Changtian's surprised gaze, Chu Xianping continued to calmly analyze:

"It's fine for ordinary people to panic for a while, but Ding Zhong is an important minister responsible for protecting the safety of a country's royal family. It is unlikely that he is such an incompetent person."

"Unless...he already knows who the thief is."

"."

After Chu Xianping finished speaking, the room fell into a brief silence.

What the hell!

Makes sense!

After reading Chu Xianping's words again, Wei Changtian who came back to his senses immediately stood up with a "chuckle".

"Du Chang is still in the north of the city now, tell him to keep an eye on all places within five miles outside the city! Not even a fly can be let go!"

"Brother Chu, you and I will go to the palace again immediately!"

"Yes!"

Wei Changtian, who had just returned to the Princess Mansion and was about to go out again, his buttocks still not hot, was considered to have made the most correct response.

Ask Du Chang to guard the north of the city to prevent Bai Youheng from escaping through the secret passage again if he realizes something is wrong.

He went to the palace to arrest Ding Zhong, and asked Bai Youheng's whereabouts from the latter's mouth.

If it was half an hour in the morning, he would indeed be able to make up for it by doing this, and completely trap Bai Youheng to death in Fengyuan City.

It's a pity that when Du Chang received the order to start deploying manpower on a large scale in the north of the city, Bai Youheng, who had already taken back the Gu carvings, had already sneaked out of the secret passage, and with the only four remaining dragon guards, he headed east without looking back. escaped.

"Queen, Mr. Bai has left."

When ugly, Zihua Palace.

As the queen's bedroom, under normal circumstances, the only man who can appear here, except the eunuch, should be Li Qi.

But it is obvious that the man standing opposite Yu Pingjun is not the latter.

"It's good to go."

The delicate chin was raised slightly, Yu Pingjun took a step closer, looked at Ding Zhong with a smile and asked, "General Ding, why do you look so sad?"

"Queen, the emperor has already become suspicious of me."

With a serious face, Ding Zhong recounted what happened in Tianlu Palace just now.

He originally thought that Yu Pingjun would at least have some concerns if he didn't say that his face would turn pale after listening to it.

But who would have thought that the latter smiled even more, and even showed a trace of disdain on his face.

"Hehehe, the general doesn't need to worry."

"Since Wei Changtian knew about Bai Youheng's entry into the city, and there was such a big commotion of closing the city, it's normal for Li Qi to have such doubts."

"Besides, the general has never shown any flaws, and now that Bai Youheng has left, what can they do?"

"This"

Ding Chong shook his head when he heard the words, and said in his heart that it would be so simple.

He thought about it, and was about to open his mouth again to discuss the next countermeasures with Yu Pingjun, but at this moment, a pair of jade arms slowly wrapped around his neck.

"Emperor, Empress."

The pupils shrank slightly. Although Ding Zhong had an affair with Yu Pingjun long ago, he was not in the slightest mood at the moment.

just
"General."

As the wide phoenix robe slipped off little by little, the body that once made the two emperors jealous of it also appeared in front of them.

Seeing Ding Chong's stunned look, Yu Pingjun slowly moved his lips closer, and sent a moist and warm sentence into the latter's ear.

"Don't worry about that, how can I serve you?"

"."

An alluring beauty, a half-covered delicate body, and the status of a queen
At this moment, Ding Zhong had completely forgotten about his situation, panted heavily, picked up Jun Yu Ping in his arms, and walked towards the big phoenix bed.

"Pfft!"

Panting lightly, Yu Pingjun was roughly thrown on the bed, and the general's armor on Ding Zhong fell to the ground with a clatter.

The two didn't even put down the curtain, and they were "entangled" in the next moment.

then
"What, who?!"

"what!!"

"boom!!!"

Accompanied by the sudden screams outside the house, the door of the dormitory was suddenly kicked open in the blink of an eye.

Ding Zhong, who was not seeing anything, turned his head to look in panic, and even Yu Pingjun finally showed a trace of panic on his face at this moment.

Besides a few masters of the royal family, there were three men standing in their sight.

Wei Changtian, Chu Xianping.
Li Qi.
