In the Nan Palace, Ren Chennan sat in the study room with a gloomy look on his face, and asked in a low voice: "Has the cause of Li Wei's death been determined?"

A spy knelt on one knee and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, there was no sign of a fight at the scene of Li Wei's death. He was killed with one strike. The method was extremely skillful. It is suspected to be the work of an expert."

Another spy looked up and stole a glance at the Southern King, then added tremblingly, "There were also witnesses who witnessed Li Wei delivering secret letters to many people before his death. If the letters fell into the hands of Deputy General Liu, I'm afraid the prince's plan would be changed."

Ren Chennan's face turned pale as he slammed the desk, causing the tea set on the table to tremble. His eyes were as sharp as a hawk as he scanned the kneeling spies and shouted angrily, "A bunch of rubbish. You can't even handle the death of a spy and a few letters."

The atmosphere in the study suddenly dropped to freezing point. The spies lowered their heads and dared not breathe. They were very afraid of their own prince.

"You have three days to intercept the letters that Li Wei sent back to me, or you will all die."

The spies hurriedly left the study, fearing that His Royal Highness the Southern King would be angry and kill them all on the spot.

In this depressing atmosphere, the door of the study quietly opened a crack, and an untimely cold breeze carrying a hint of chill blew away the dullness in the room.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar figure slowly walked into the house. It was Li Wei who was supposed to have died in a pool of blood.

Ren Chennan stared at Li Wei in front of him like the god of death, and his deep voice was filled with unquestionable majesty: "Who is it? How dare you play tricks in front of me?"

The fake Li Wei smiled strangely and said, "Your Majesty is indeed alert. I have no ill intentions and I am here to lend a helping hand to Your Majesty."

There was a fierce look between Ren Chennan's brows, his fist was clenched tightly, and his whole body exuded a murderous aura that should not be underestimated.

"You? Just because you're a fake?"

After saying this, he moved slightly, as if he was about to attack.

The fake Li Wei slid aside lightly, avoiding Ren Chennan's subtle movement that hinted at murderous intent, and said cunningly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I am also entrusted by someone to come and help you."

As he spoke, he took out a few letters from his sleeve and said mysteriously: "This is the letter that Li Wei wrote to Deputy General Liu. I wonder if Your Majesty can trust me now?"

Ren Chennan stared at the fake Li Wei, and slowly approached with irresistible majesty, until he was only one step away from the fake Li Wei: "Who entrusted you with this?"

Facing the Southern King's viciousness, the fake Li Wei smiled calmly: "Some things may not be a good thing for the prince to know."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Ren Chennan laughed in anger, with a cold arc at the corner of his mouth. He suddenly jumped up like an enraged lion, and the meteor spear cut through the air and went straight for the throat of the fake Li Wei.

He gently moved to the side, allowing the fatal blow from the meteor gun to pass by him, leaving only a slight sound of wind.

The fake Li Wei took advantage of the situation and stepped back a few steps. The several tiny flying needles in his sleeves shot towards Ren Chennan's vital points, but at the moment he was about to trigger, they were all bounced off by the Meteor Gun.

In an instant, the fake Li Wei easily avoided Ren Chengnan's thundering attack, and with a flash of his body, he had already reached the window.

“To do big things without being particular about small details requires patience.”

After saying this, he disappeared as a shadow.

Ren Chennan stood where he was, staring at the slowly closing window. Today's events were far from as simple as they seemed. The person behind the fake Li Wei must be the real murderer who killed Li Wei. So what was his intention in doing this?

On the other side, the fake Li Wei had already climbed onto the tower of Longyang City. When Lieutenant General Liu saw Li Wei coming back, he hurried forward and asked, "Have you found out the situation with King Beiling?"

The fake Li Wei said respectfully with a solemn expression: "Sir, I have already found out that the King of Beiling is indeed rebellious. The Queen of Beiling is even more charming and seduces the Lord, using her evil words to deceive people."

Commander Zhang frowned as he examined the fake Li Wei in front of him, saying in a deep voice, "Li Wei, your words are serious. Do you have any solid evidence to prove that what you said is true?"

He walked slowly to the edge of the city wall, looking at the endless mountains in the distance, as if weighing the severity of the situation.

Lieutenant General Liu said firmly, "Commander-in-chief, the intelligence Li Wei brought back at the risk of his life is true. I am willing to guarantee it with my own life."

The fake Li Wei slowly pulled out a secret letter from his bosom and presented it with both hands, his expression becoming more solemn: "This is the internal secret of Beiling Palace. It records in detail the evidence of the Beiling King and Bei Wangfei's evil intentions. Please take a look, Lord Commander."

Commander Zhang took the secret letter and slowly unfolded the letter paper. With each turn of a page, his eyes became more solemn.

The cold wind blew, causing the letter paper to flutter gently. The handwriting on it was particularly dazzling in the dusk. Every word was a carefully fabricated lie, portraying the King of Beiling and the Queen of Beiling as ambitious and treacherous people who brought chaos to the Dragon Kingdom.

Commander Zhang's brows were almost twisted into a knot. He stared at every piece of evidence in the letter, but doubts began to arise in his heart.

The evidence was too detailed and perfect, without any flaws, which made him feel vaguely uneasy.

On the city wall, the setting sun was as red as blood, stretching the shadows of the three people long. Commander Zhang tightly grasped the secret letter in his hand, with both determination and unspeakable heaviness in his eyes.

"Pass my order, gather all the elite soldiers immediately, and be ready to march to Beiling within half a month."

After saying this, he glanced at the fake Li Wei with a deep gaze, and secretly wondered in his heart: Could it be that the prince and the princess really rebelled? Or was all this a carefully planned conspiracy?

In the dead of night, the figure of the fake Li Wei seemed even more mysterious under the mottled moonlight. He quietly shuttled through the forest paths and stopped by a flowing river outside the city.

A solemn figure stood not far away. The fake Li Wei stepped forward quickly, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "My lord, I have arranged everything according to your wishes. In half a month, they will head straight to Beiling."

Occasionally, the chirping of night birds could be heard in the forest. Du Wenxuan gently waved his folding fan and said coldly, "Spread the news secretly to make the crime of King Beiling more deeply rooted in people's hearts. In particular, you must emphasize that it is a threat to the imperial power and make everyone feel terrified. You must make Ren Chennan feel that this is a great humiliation to the royal family and force him to take more radical actions."

After a pause, he continued: "You need to find an opportunity to sow discord between Ren Chennan and the emperor. What we need to do now is to force Ren Chennan to stage a grand drama of forcing the emperor to abdicate."

The fake Li Wei swore, "Don't worry, my lord. The King of the South has an impatient personality and will definitely fall into the trap."

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Du Wenxuan's lonely and proud figure stood alone by the river, his clothes swaying gently in the wind, as if blending into the night.

"King Beiling, even if you have the assistance of Princess Bei, did you expect that I have already blocked your retreat with this game of chess? How are you going to save your two brothers?"

In his deep eyes, there was a flicker of fear towards the Emperor's Sword, as well as a tremendous hatred towards King Beiling, and even a hint of pride that his conspiracy was about to succeed.
