Late at night, Erkang knocked on Yongqi's door.

Yongqi was worried about what happened today. Benjamin and Ertai were there.

Erkang pulled up a smile. It would be easy if everyone was there. He wouldn't have to go around gathering people together.

"What a coincidence! Everyone is here. I have something important to discuss with you."

Yongqi invited the man in and asked, "Are you okay with your injuries? Where did you go? We went to your room just now and couldn't find you."

"It's okay, Ziwei was helping me treat my wound just now."

Ertai saw Erkang coming in with a bad look on his face. He stood up and wanted to leave. "You guys chat, I'm leaving first."

Benjamin nodded and tried to get up. He didn't want to discuss anything important with them at all.

"Hey! Ertai, this matter is very important, you have to listen to it too. You usually quarrel with me in small matters, and as your brother, I don't care. But you must not throw a tantrum on big matters."

"I'm not throwing a tantrum!"

Erkang actually thought he was just throwing a tantrum. Ertai was very upset. When would they realize they were wrong?

Seeing this, Yongqi stood up and advised: "Stay and listen. After all, we are the four great guards and we are all on the same boat."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ertai and Benjamin looked at each other, and thinking of the secret they still shared, they had no choice but to sit down again.

Erkang coughed lightly and dropped a bombshell: "I won't go back."

All three of them were shocked.

Yongqi: "Do you dare to disobey the order?"

"Of course I dare not disobey your order. I plan to pretend to leave in a few days and secretly follow the team. This way, I will know immediately if you have any movements. Besides, I am really worried about Ziwei."

"No! Isn't this still disobeying the emperor's order?"

Ertai was the first to disagree. It seemed that the beating had not yet woken his brother up.

"If I really go back, it will be the end of me and our Fu family."

Erkang had already made the decision and just came to inform them. Ertai had no choice but to agree.

Yongqi also disagreed, "You're taking too much of a risk. If you're discovered, you'll lose your head."

"I will be careful and stay away from you. If there is any news, please send a reliable person to inform me. That way, if anything happens, I can rush to your rescue immediately."

"What could possibly happen? And save me."

Yongqi found it a little funny. They had been going smoothly all the way, and apart from dealing with a few bullies and corrupt officials, there was nothing that required fighting.

Erkang was silent for a moment, then dropped another bombshell.

"No, I have a plan, a plan that will allow us to achieve great merit, a plan that will allow me to return to my former status, a plan that will allow Ziwei to obtain Xiaoyanzi's pardon, and a plan that will reveal the truth and make everyone's dreams come true!"

When Yongqi heard that he could exchange back the identities of Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei, his eyes lit up instantly and he was very curious.

"Erkang, if you have such a good plan, don't keep us in suspense. Tell us now."

Falcon coughed lightly, "It's just a little risky, and requires everyone's full cooperation."

As soon as these words were spoken, the other three suddenly had a bad feeling.

As if to confirm their premonition, Erkang continued, "I've thought of this plan a long time ago, but I don't intend to use it until the critical moment."

He changed the subject and said, "Now that we have been forced into a desperate situation by Jingyan and Yongheng, we have no choice but to use it."

"What exactly is the plan?"

Yongqi's expression was no longer as eager as before, but Erkang was so immersed in his perfect plan and the joy of returning to the imperial guard that he didn't notice it at all.

"I'm planning to stage a rescue operation. The White Lotus Cult is rampant these days, and we might be targeted by them. If someone tries to assassinate us, wouldn't it be a great achievement for us to come to their rescue in time?"

"It would be best if Ziwei risked her life to save the emperor at the critical moment. The emperor would be deeply moved. Then, wouldn't Ziwei be able to get whatever she wants?"

"No!" Yongqi refused without thinking. The risk was too great and it was simply treasonous.

"Erkang, I understand your desire to achieve merit, but the White Lotus Sect won't come just because you want them to. You can't possibly reveal the Emperor's itinerary to the White Lotus Sect, right? That would be tantamount to treason!"

"How is that possible?"

"That's right. Besides, putting the Emperor in danger is definitely not an option."

Hearing Erkang's thoughts, Ertai almost went crazy, "Fifth Prince is right, don't go crazy anymore, the right thing to do is to go back to the capital and reflect on your mistakes."

Seeing that no one understood him, Erkang stood up emotionally.

"Everyone, listen to me! How could I really let the White Lotus Sect assassinate the emperor? My plan is to hire a group of people to act out the White Lotus Sect assassination. This way, it's just a show, and the emperor won't be in any danger!"

Ertai also stood up and confronted Erkang.

"You still want to find someone to assassinate the emperor! This is a capital crime punishable by extermination of all nine generations of your clan. If you don't want to live, don't implicate me and my father and mother!"

"Ertai! Why don't you understand? My plan is flawless. Our purpose is to put on a show and not harm the emperor. Besides, if we keep quiet, who would know it was us who was looking for him?"

"Brother, how did you become like this? You're using any means necessary to achieve your goals. I really don't recognize you anymore."

Erkang snorted coldly and ignored Ertai, but continued to persuade Yongqi.

"Yongqi, I have planned it all. There won't be any accidents. After this is accomplished, we will still be the emperor's most favored junior. You and Xiaoyanzi will no longer be brother and sister, and you can be together openly. Don't you wish for this?"

When Yongqi heard that he and Xiaoyanzi could be together openly, he was shaken. This was indeed too tempting for him.

Erkang continued to persuade her, "We have no other chances along the way. If Ziwei tells the truth, Xiaoyanzi will definitely be beheaded regardless of whether Ziwei is recognized or not. This is the only way to gain merit and receive a special pardon!"

But Yongqi still had some rationality, "This matter is not a small matter, it is very serious. Once it is exposed, you, I and even the Fu family will be dead."

When Erkang heard Yongqi say this, he knew that he was shaken. He smiled and dropped the last bombshell.

"What we are doing now, which one is not a matter of death? Don't worry, I will plan it perfectly before taking action. This is something I, Fulcon, did alone. It has nothing to do with you. If it is really exposed, I, Fulcon, will take the blame for it alone. It will only cost me my life!"

Seeing Erkang said so much, Yongqi felt relieved. This way, even if something unexpected happened, it would have nothing to do with him.

But the face-saving project still needs to be done: "Erkang, I don't mean to ask you to take responsibility..."

"Hey!" Erkang shook his head and interrupted Yongqi. "I planned this all by myself, so why should I take responsibility for it? If anything goes wrong, Ziwei is your sister, and she still needs your help to take care of her."

"Erkang, go ahead and do your job without worry. Your brothers will take care of your worries."

"Brothers!"

The two men embraced each other, as brave as warriors going to their death, heroic and heroic.
