Yang Zhi was startled, he never thought that the shrewd Weng Tonghe would say such sarcastic words, but he did not look like he was mocking him.

Weng Tonghe seemed to be muttering to himself, "Actually I didn't believe you at all in the past. I have always been on guard against Xiao Letian. "That's right, it's using all sorts of spies, counterplot, subtleties, beauties …"

"Do you think I don't know that he is secretly corroding the lower echelons of my Great Qing Dynasty? "I know, of course I know, but I can't control it. I can't control it either …"

"When you first came here to seek allegiance, I had always felt that you were the deathbed sent by Xiao Letian in an attempt to break into the inner palace of the imperial court as a pawn. I had also reminded the empress dowager before … But the imperial government is really short on money. Sometimes, they have no choice! "

Yang Zhi laughed bitterly and said, "Ah … You know that I was born with long hair. After that, I became a bandit, followed Xiao Letian, and finally turned to the imperial government … For Lord to not trust me is the proper meaning behind the question! "

"But why do you believe me today?" Yang Zhi asked in confusion.

"Because of desire!" Weng Tonghe's eyes shone brightly, he stared straight at Yang Zhi: "The desire in your eyes can't be deceived! "When you saw the words' Sixth and Eighteenth Class, 'I personally saw the remorse in your heart. That regret was not enough to deceive people. Did you even have the heart to die at that time?"

"Hahaha, if you are really Xiao Letian's spy, then you wouldn't have such greedy desires for the Sixth and Eighteenth Class Chinese Clan Order, you! "It is because you know that you are destined to never be rewarded with a Chinese Medallion that you are ruthless towards him, right …"

"Look at your final offer! Look at how thoroughly you have turned Xiao Letian upside down! All of this means that you have gone mad, you are a madman who repents for having lost his guts! "

Yang Zhi's face turned green and red at what Weng Tonghe had said. He had to admit that this old man really had a pair of eyes that could see through people's hearts.

After ridiculing Yang Zhi for a long time, Weng Tonghe patted his shoulder and said, "Actually that's not bad too. You have completely broken off from your past and gained the trust of the imperial government. Your future achievements will definitely not be any less than your achievements in the Ryukyu! Just like what Zhou Daoying had said just now, the joyous event for you will probably happen at the door very soon … "

"People do not need to fear going down the wrong path, just return back to the right path and it will be fine!" Return to the imperial court, the imperial government will not hesitate to reward you... Remember, don't hide anything in the future. If there is a secret, just tell it to me … The empress dowager and prince no longer suspect you … "

Yang Zhi was a little embarrassed, a little touched, and even a little excited … He wasn't sure what he was feeling right now, but when he turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly stopped.

He slowly turned around and asked Weng Tonghe with a strange expression on his face, "Weng … Master Weng! Can I trust you? "

The old man looked at him calmly and said indifferently, "Who else can you trust?"

Yang Zhi clenched his teeth and stomped his feet, he finally mustered his courage, and went close to Weng Tonghe's ear and whispered, "Master Weng … For the sake of being Chinese, I believe in you! "

"Actually... Actually, Winged King Shida Kai did not die at all back then … He's in Prussia right now, and he's hiding in Europe to work for Xiao Letian … "

A sudden clap of thunder sounded out from the bottom of Weng Tonghe's heart, and the old man was so frightened that his face turned white, "Silence! Come to my house and say that you don't want to talk about this later! "

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was a taboo in the Qing Dynasty, especially the first group of elites who rebelled. To the imperial government, this was a terrifying nightmare.

The fact that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could sweep across half of the southern part of the river and build its capital in Nanjing in a short period of time was inseparable from the abilities of the first batch of elites, and the Winged King Shida Kai amongst them was one of the most feared figures by the imperial government.

Weng Tonghe clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white. Looking at the back of Yang Zhi, who was slowly leaving Yangxin Palace with his head lowered, his heart felt as if it had flipped over.

"Aren't I full? Why am I talking to this man? In the end, he had gotten himself into such a big trouble. The less he knows about this secret, the better! "

This old man was born in Gui Chen, so he obviously knew how important face was to a power. The fact that Shi Dakai was still alive was something that he absolutely did not dare to publicize, because as long as he could prove that he was still alive, it would mean that the war in Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was far from over.

The group of original elites from the Taiping Army that made Xian Feng tremble in fear were just short of overthrowing him. If not for the sudden appearance of Ceng Guofan who bowed his head to him in exchange for a large amount of arms support, the Qing Dynasty would have died a long time ago.

Right now, the imperial government had already announced to the entire world that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had been completely destroyed four years ago. All the important bandit leaders had died, and this matter had already been concluded.

Thinking about Shi Dakai's influence in the Taiping Army, the old man felt goosebumps all over his back. He subconsciously turned his head to look at the East Warm Pavilion, hesitating to tell this top secret information to the empress dowager and prince.

Just as he turned his head back, Weng Tonghe suddenly felt that he had been thrown into a terrifying demon area. It was as if he had suddenly met a companion while walking on the dark path.

You wanted to say hello to your companion, but you realized with horror that your companion's lower body was empty. He was actually floating in the air.

So there really was a ghost within the Forbidden City!

Weng Tonghe's eyes grew blurry. He saw it very clearly, through the window of the East Warm Pavilion, the old man could clearly see the curtain in front of empress dowagers. Damn it, it was hanging down!

This was really an extremely horrifying scene. Weng Tonghe was only forty years old this year, and although he was addressed as an old man, that was only a friendly tease from the empress dowager.

It was impossible for a forty-year-old to have hallucinations ahead of time, much less have a memory disorder at that stage. The bright yellow curtain was not hung in front of it.

Could it be that the empress dowager had people hang up on her right after she came out? This was impossible. He had only said ten sentences in total, and in less than three minutes, he hadn't heard anything behind him.

It was Li Lianying who came out to greet them. When he saw that Weng Tonghe had not come out yet, he cupped her hands and smiled, "Master Weng isn't going home to celebrate the new year, could it be that you're waiting for the empress dowager to give you a feast? "Hahaha, don't wait today, this is a family feast on the first day of the new year …"

"In your capacity, isn't it common for the Empress Dowager to give a banquet? The palace bestowed the meat on you that time was not the biggest... "

"I am joking, this young master is joking. Just now, the meeting time was too long and my chest felt a little stuffy. I am just standing here taking a few breaths …" But, Eunuch, there's something I want to ask you! "
