"I don't even need to take the evidence of your crime. You are doomed, and your entire family will follow you into destruction."

"Now that you've reached this point, you should know how terrifying the vortex of power is."

These few light words made Zhang Yue lose his mind and even started to tremble!

The higher the position a person holds, the more afraid he is of death and loss. It is always like this.

"Then how can you help me?" he said.

Guan Ning said nothing, but walked to the candle and lit the entire letter. The flame grew bigger and bigger until the letter was reduced to ashes.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yue swallowed hard. If he could still have a chance to save his life after settling the accounts, then once these letters were exposed, he would be dead.

But now Guan Ning burned it directly.

"This is my first step and my sincerity."

"Second step, I will use my own methods to clear you of suspicion of being part of the Zhao Party, and I will also ask some important figures to protect you. In the end, not only will you be able to maintain your current power, you may even have the opportunity to advance further."

"But the prerequisite is that you have to listen to me." Guan Ning said bluntly.

Zhang Yue's heart was moved, but then his eyes became full of struggle. As a powerful general, it was hard for him to accept being manipulated by a young boy.

If this gets out, it will be like a fairy tale!

But now, this is his only chance.

"How do you prove you have this ability? Who is the big shot you're talking about?"

Guan Ning shook his head: "This is not your business. As long as you work for me and follow my instructions, I can guarantee your life."

"You are the great general of Guangdong and Guangxi. To me, you are useful, that's all."

"I'll give you the last three minutes to think about it." Guan Ning said everything he needed to say and gave an ultimatum directly.

Then he sat aside and waited calmly.

Zhang Yue clenched his fists, and a depressing atmosphere filled the hall.

He gritted his teeth and struggled for a long time, and finally chose to believe it. As for Zhao Tai's revenge, he had long forgotten it. After all, people have to think about themselves.

boom!

He knelt in front of Guan Ning and lowered his proud head.

"Prince, save me!"

Guan Ning raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Lou Xinyue. He knew that this guy was not that tough.

"very good."

"To be on the safe side, you take this poison yourself. I will cure it for you in a year." Guan Ning certainly couldn't completely trust this Zhao Tai man.

What if this guy turns against us after being cleared of wrongdoing?

Zhang Yue's face turned grim: "You..."

"Hmm?" Guan Ning was displeased.

Zhang Yue lowered his head, his veins exposed. He wanted to fight to the death many times, but in the end he could not give up the power and life in his hands.

Finally, he took the pill and swallowed it.

Seeing this, Guan Ning was completely relieved.

"Get up."

"Submit to me, and you won't have to worry about being liquidated."

Zhang Yue exhaled a breath of foul air, his expression dazed. He actually defected to his mortal enemy, a young boy. Even now he found it unbelievable.

"Where is the armory?" Guan Ning asked again.

This time, Zhang Yue was obviously much more honest.

Looking at the ashes on the ground, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's under the reviewing platform, where you were imprisoned before."

Hearing this, Guan Ning nodded secretly. The information matched. This guy was not playing any tricks.

"Your people are responsible for guarding that place. It should be okay for you to help me transport the things out, right?"

Zhang Yue's heart felt like it was bleeding. After Zhao Tai's death, he had wanted to monopolize this batch of supplies, but now...

"It's true that all of them are my people, and I'm the only one who can access them. But it's difficult to transport them out. There are too many troops in the city right now, and such a large amount of baggage will definitely be inspected."

"If those jackals, tigers and leopards under Zhao Tai knew about this, they would definitely come for a piece of the pie."

Guan Ning raised his eyebrows. He had already thought about this problem.

"Zhao Tai's funeral will be held the day after tomorrow morning. Will the entire Guangling City be there?"

"The city defenses will be vulnerable by then, so we can transport it then."

Zhang Yue said: "But my people have to go too."

"You don't need to worry about manpower. I've brought my own people. You just need to open the basement and cooperate with my people to transport the things outside the customs."
