However, the three of them were eventually unable to escape the pursuit, and the Prime Minister Zhang Song showed up to discuss matters with Ning Yuanzhou. Just as Ning Yuanzhou was walking towards Zhang Song, Ren Ruyi took advantage of Lou Qingqiang's unpreparedness and killed him to avenge Linglong.

Zhang Song admired Ning Yuanzhou's wisdom, and he also knew that among the thousands of people in Liudao Hall, only Ning Yuanzhou knew that the real role of spies in the court was not assassination or theft, but to compile information that was truly useful to national affairs.

After Ning Yuanzhou left, Zhao Ji left the Hell Unused and abolished the Senluo Palace. Therefore, nine out of ten intelligence pieces that His Majesty obtained before going to war were false.

Zhang Song believed that one of the reasons why the emperor was captured and defeated was Liudaotang, and he also recognized Ning Yuanzhou's talents, but Ning Yuanzhou was still unwilling to accept the mission.

Zhang Song revealed that Yang Ying had requested to go on the diplomatic mission as a prince. He did not care whether Ning Yuanzhou could welcome the emperor back. He only hoped that Ning Yuanzhou could get the imperial edict written by the emperor himself, which would instruct the child in the queen's belly and then let him be the regent.

Although Ning Yuanzhou didn't want to get involved in these things anymore, he had to save Yang Ying. Most importantly, Zhang Song threatened him with the reputation of the brothers in Liudaotang and Tiandao, so he finally agreed to the matter.

Zhang Song was very satisfied with Ning Yuanzhou's answer, so he took him away. However, when he left, he gave Ren Ruyi a meaningful look.

Ning Yuanzhou also brought his people back to the Ning residence. When he sent Ren Ruyi out of the city again, Ning Yuanzhou still asked the question in his heart: "When you killed Lou Qingqiang yesterday, why did you say you were the first one?!"

At this moment, Ren Ruyi has revealed the fact that she knows martial arts. With Ning Yuanzhou's intelligence, he must have already connected all the previous events together, so she has nothing to hide now.

"He was the first one to torture and kill Linglong in the branch."

Ning Yuanzhou: "Linglong? You did it to avenge her. In fact, you shouldn't have done it at that time."

Ning Yuanzhou said this sincerely for Ren Ruyi's sake. After all, no one knew whether Zhang Song would directly order her to be killed.

However, Ren Ruyi thought differently from Ning Yuanzhou: "No one knows better than me when is the best time to take action."

Ning Yuanzhou sent Ruyi out of the city gate, but Ruyi did not intend to leave alone. She said that she knew a lot about the capital of Anguo. In return, the condition for her to join the delegation was naturally to know Mr. Yue's true identity and ask Ning Yuanzhou to help investigate something.

Ning Yuanzhou told Ruyi the information he had obtained about Mr. Yue, and speculated that Mr. Yue was at least a Purple Robe Envoy in the Zhuyi Guard. As for the rest of the matters, he did not intend to get involved.

Ning Yuanzhou rejected Ren Ruyi's proposal and thought that the delegation did not need an assassin like Ruyi. Ren Ruyi did not say much, but nodded to indicate that he understood. The two then parted ways.

Ning Yuanzhou returned to Liudaotang and arranged for Jiang Qiong and Lao Du to sit in the main hall to support the delegation at any time. Then Ning Yuanzhou led the delegation of four people including Yu Shisan to leave Wuguo and go to Anguo.

When Ning Yuanzhou set off, Chu Ji also set off with Li Xiangyi.

Ning Yuanzhou and his group caught up with Yang Ying and others. Yang Ying was afraid that she would be assassinated, so Ning Yuanzhou arranged for Sun Lang to protect Yang Ying's safety. He would also forge Yang Ying's identity to cooperate with the delegation's actions.

Ning Yuanzhou introduced the six cousins ​​to Yang Ying. Du Changli and the Ming female official who accompanied Yang Ying on the diplomatic mission were very strict with Yang Ying. What bothered Yang Ying the most was that the Ming female official would often bully her in private and she had no one to complain to.
