Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chen Wang's subordinates were all shocked, "Brother Chen, what are you doing? We are here to save the Ning family!"

"Old Chen, what's wrong with you? Why are you crazy? Let the old lady go."

"Don't hurt the old lady, Lao Chen, don't be confused."

Many people were at a loss, and only a dozen people stepped forward silently and protected Chen Wang around him, preventing anyone from attacking him.

This scene made the Ning family break down. The man who had just loyally said he would fight for the Ning family supported the old lady of the Ning family.

What is loyalty? What is treachery? I can't tell the difference.

Ning Qishao was furious, and said, "Chen Wang, let my grandmother go."

Chen Wang still looked loyal and righteous, "Seventh Young Master, it's not that I'm cruel, it's that the Princess of Jingning has gone too far, and has done things too unruly. She has no regard for the law and the court, and I really can't stand it anymore."

What does this have to do with holding Madam Ning hostage? The logic is wrong.

"Princess Jingning, the old general has given you a new life, you don't want his widow to die because of you, right?"

When these words came out, everyone was stunned by his shamelessness.

What the hell?

Old Madam Ning was trembling all over and was in a state of confusion. Her husband had always said that she was not good at judging people and that her vision was too narrow, limited to the backyard, and she had never accepted it.

But now, the facts were before her, and she was indeed not good at judging people.

Chen Wang ignored everyone's gazes and stared at Ning Zhiwei, his eyes full of fanaticism.

"Princess Jingning, if you don't want Madam Ning to die, hand over the Northwest Army's military token."

Yes, what he wanted from the beginning to the end was military power! One hundred thousand Northwest Army!

Ning Zhiwei tilted her head slightly, as if thinking. Everyone was waiting for her final decision.

The women of the Ning family were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. "Xiao Wu, please save the old lady. She can't die."

Because the men were far away at the border, they supported each other due to their similar situation.

Old Madam Ning was quite considerate and not harsh towards the female members of the family, and she was especially loving towards her children and grandchildren.

At this moment, Madam Ning was being held against by a long sword, but she remained silent and remained quite tough.

The eunuchs and the imperial guards were ordered to escort Chen Wang, and they made sarcastic remarks, forcing Ning Zhiwei to hand over the military power.

Ning Qishao was extremely anxious, "Quickly let go of my grandmother, Chen Wang. I don't want the military token, nor do I want the Ning Family Army."

He asked himself if he could bear this responsibility.

Chen Wang said, "Seventh Young Master, you have to give up even if you don't want it. Some things are beyond your control. Without these 100,000 Ning Family soldiers, the Ning Family is nothing and no one will care about it."

"For the sake of the Ning family's eternal future, let me be the bad guy."

Until now, he still appears to be loyal, which makes the Ning family sick.

Ning Qishao was furious. "I don't want it. As the head of the family, I order you to let my grandmother go."

Chen Wang looked apologetic and said, "I'm sorry I can't obey your order."

It was like a basin of cold water poured down on everyone in the Ning family, chilling them to the core.

Ning Qishao looked at him coldly, "You are not doing this for me, you are doing this for yourself, Chen Wang, you won't listen to me now, you want me to be a puppet and you can be the one in charge."

This directly revealed Chen Wang's true face.

The so-called loyalty is nothing but a disguise.

If you are in power, why should you work like a slave for others and make wedding clothes for others?

"Seventh Master, I have absolutely no such intention,"

A chuckle sounded, "It's so lively, what's going on?"

A man in blue appeared on the wall, his peach blossom eyes slightly raised, revealing a sense of indifference.

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict had a changed expression. "Lord Rong, you have come at the right time. Ning Zhiwei is about to rebel. Quickly have your men capture her. We must capture the leader first."

As the highest administrative chief in the area, he had a team of officials and runners under him.

Rong Jing seemed not to hear it and ignored it. He exchanged glances with Ning Zhiwei and nodded slightly.

"Isn't this the old man from the Ning family? Why is he holding our old lady hostage? Is he trying to betray his master?"

Chen Wang had a bad feeling and said hastily, "I am not. I am loyal to the heavens and the earth can bear witness to this. If I betray my master, let me be struck by lightning..."

Ning Zhi's slightly mocking voice sounded, "How can they be considered as traitors? They have never considered themselves as the Ning family army, nor have they been loyal to the Ning family commander. Their master is someone else."

It was like a bolt of thunder, and everyone was stunned.

Not from the Ning family? Then whose family is it?

Ning Zhiwei soon solved the mystery, "Haha, you are still loyal. Your master has passed away. Why don't you loyal old people follow him to the underworld?"

Death? Oh my god, what kind of shocking secret is this? The imperial guards were all uneasy and whispered to each other.

Chen Wang's face turned pale when he heard that. "You're talking nonsense."

Ning Qishao's head was buzzing, and his heart was in a mess. "Wait, Xiaowu, you said that the real master of these people is the late emperor?"

Who can use the word "pass away"? Only the king.

Ning Zhiwei's eyes were cold and gloomy. "Yes, he was planted in the army by the late emperor from the very beginning. He was the late emperor's eyes and ears, monitoring the dynamics of the army. Don't you know?"

Chen Wang's eyes went dark. How could she know? Who told her?

So the question is, she knew it a long time ago but kept it to herself, what was she waiting for?

Have their actions today been noticed by others?

When he thought of this, a chill ran down his back.

Ning Qishao was very confused. "No one told me this. How did you know? Did your grandfather tell you?"

Ning Zhiwei remained silent. Ning Qishao thought that he had guessed correctly and was furious. "Did he know all along? He knew everything but still had to endure it. It's hard for him. Not only does he have to win the battle, but he also has to endure the king's suspicion and be on guard against being plotted against."

He felt sorry for his grandfather and the Ning family. The Ning family fought hard to be loyal to the royal family, but the royal family was so suspicious.

"No wonder. You kicked these people out and sent them to the village, and provided them with retirement care. You have done your best."

What the hell is retirement? It's clearly trapping them. Chen Wang cursed in his heart, Ning Zhiwei is the most difficult person, as smart as a demon.

Obviously today's plan was foolproof and flawless, but Ning Zhiwei managed to create a loophole and ruined the good reputation of the late emperor. If this gets out, the army's morale will be broken!

Ning Zhiwei sighed softly. Her grandfather most likely knew about it, otherwise he wouldn't have brought the person under his nose and kept a close eye on him.

"Alas, the late emperor was suspicious by nature, and he placed people in each army, not only to tip off and pass on intelligence, but also to behead people at critical moments."

Beheading? Everyone's heart was pounding. Is this what they understood?

A thought flashed through Ning Qishao's mind, and he blurted out involuntarily, "Then is my grandfather's death related to them?"

Ning Zhiwei's eyes were terribly cold. "I also want to know, Chen Wang, you were at Yumen Pass at the time, did my grandfather die at your hands?"

The whole place was silent, so quiet that it was eerie.
